Cutting the toolbar in half
It's been discussed. Requesting for the bottom half of User:Xbony2/common.css (the stuff under the commented out part) to be merged with the common CSS. It's a bit more than copy-paste if you do it right, but I think you can figure it out. -Xbony2 (talk) 20:27, 2 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Eh, I don't really like how this looks. Rather than a huge toolbar it's a cramped toolbar. Neither really look very good imo :| --  Satanic Santa 🎅F T B Wiki Admin 21:07, 2 October 2016 (UTC)
 * That's how I felt too at first, but try using it for a while. -Xbony2 (talk) 22:04, 2 October 2016 (UTC)
 * After using it for a month, how do you feel? Thinking of it as cramped makes sense for an initial reaction because of the scale change, but is about the same size as Wikipedia's and other wiki's. -Xbony2 (talk) 14:16, 6 November 2016 (UTC)
 * I want the logo in the corner to be larger, like it is on other wikis. My current CSS does that but it has a red line through the middle which is ugly. The bar itself is fine. --  Satanic Santa 🎅F T B Wiki Admin 18:46, 6 November 2016 (UTC)

I don't think I should be able to edit this page as an anonymous user. I was just clicking around from Foundry's wiki page.
 * - no, you have every right to. Anyone can request and discuss stuff. -Xbony2 (talk) 01:16, 29 November 2016 (UTC)

Spritesheet extension missing
The spritesheet extension we were using disappeared. To be honest I'd rather use multiple images than it anyway, since it's only used on Turbine (Advanced Generators); it doesn't have much of a benefit if any benefit at all, but it should be reinstalled or Turbine (Advanced Generators) should be fixed. -Xbony2 (talk) 23:21, 6 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Okay, since nobody cares, I'm probably going to split it up if nobody says anything. -Xbony2 (talk) 15:09, 11 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Get in contact with Scott first. --  Satanic Santa 🎅F T B Wiki Admin 18:17, 11 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Personally I don't see any reason you couldn't just make this into a standard template using the sprite sheet image as a background image for divs / table cells etc. with positioning adjustments or offsets made based on the tile selection code used. I usually do this by nesting an absolute-positioned div inside a relative-positioned container (either div or td) with expressions built with left and top offsets using a fixed size for the container being used as the viewport on the image. You use the image as either a background setting for the absolute positioned div, or simply include it inside that, while you set overflow to hidden for the relative part of the container.

Sokratis' wikipoints balance
On Special:WikiPoints- take away 21701 from "Sokratis12GR330661", and add 21701 to "Sokratis12GR". He had his account broken a while ago. -Xbony2 (talk) 17:19, 20 November 2016 (UTC)
 * I am unable to remove wikipoints from the former. It is as if that account doesn't exist. 17:43, 20 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Maybe you can request the deletion of the account after adding the 21701 points to sokratis? Indestructible Pharaoh VII  19:46, 20 November 2016 (UTC)
 * It is a deleted account. Although according to Special:WikiPointsAdmin, "It is not possible to manually award negative points. To remove points, check the box in the "Rev" column next to the points you wish to revoke and press "Save revocation"". -Xbony2 (talk) 23:02, 20 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Nothing is displayed on that page for Sokratis12GR330661 so I can't revoke anything from it. 23:04, 20 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Ugh, I guess we should poke curse. -Xbony2 (talk) 23:47, 20 November 2016 (UTC)

Curseforge Interwiki link


Requesting interwiki link for Curseforge. Certainly it's years overdue... DSquirrelGM &#120035;&#120018; &#128504; 01:11, 22 July 2018 (UTC)
 * It's not really a "wiki," so I think a template might be better,  --  Satanic  Santa 🎅F T B Wiki Admin 17:44, 26 July 2018 (UTC)

Trip over this triple trouble
I propose the following users gain the Editor role: (for his contributions to Gendustry, Career Bees, and Extra Trees),  (for his German translations and occasional other edits), and  (for his Russian translations and occasional other edits). All are at least somewhat competent and trustworthy. as Editor, you are not committing to anything but it is a recognition of you as a trusted and somewhat decent editor, and you gain a few rights that normal users do not have that may assist you in editing (see Special:ListGroupRights). The latter two should really join the Discord server. -Xbony2 (talk) 01:00, 25 July 2018 (UTC)

Adding German content
Hi Admins! I'm Admin of the German Minecraft Wiki where we have several mod articles. Now Sven79HD informed us that you have a German part in the FTB wiki: https://ftb.gamepedia.com/FTB_Wiki/de.

What do you think about moving our complete mod content to the FTB Wiki? (Of course only those articles which you would like to have.) The German MC Wiki would then create a mod navbox which would link directly to the FTB wiki an would mention the FTB wiki officially as source for Minecraft mod content. If you agree, I suggest that you (maybe Sven79HD) take what you want from our mod articles and after the transfer is finished you give us a note and we create our new mod navbox. What do you think about it? Sumpfhuette (talk) 11:13, 2 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Our starting page for mod articles: https://minecraft-de.gamepedia.com/Modifikation
 * Our current mod-navbox: https://minecraft-de.gamepedia.com/Vorlage:Navbox-Mods
 * Hi, welcome to the Official FTB Wiki! We use a translation software on here, so we take the pre-existing English article and translate it into different languages, so exporting complete pages will require finesse. -- Sir Moogle (🐥 • 💬 • 🌟) 07:34, 3 November 2018 (UTC)

Unable to access old account
I suppose I missed something in the transition to Curse/Twitch and now I'm not able to access my old FTB Wiki account,. It's tied to a different email that I also have control over, but which did not previously have a Twitch account (and now that it does, still does not have access to the old account info). I'm hoping to achieve one of the following, in order of hopefulness: I'm looking to make some edits but I wanted to retain my history and not post as trunksbomb + a bunch of numbers at the end of my name. Thanks in advance for whatever you're able to offer.
 * Regain access to the original Trunksbomb Wiki account
 * Or, move the edit history to this account, delete the old account, and rename this one to trunksbomb (ideally with a lowercase 't').
 * Hello, sorry that this is a few days late. Unfortunately there's nothing I can do myself, but I believe that if you file a report on the Gamepedia help desk you should get a response. -Xbony2 (talk) 17:21, 1 January 2019 (UTC)

 * . -Trytoon (talk) He has done a great job ! 15:55, 2 January 2019 (UTC)

Results
I would say this passes, since it's 5-1. Retep may have valid concerns, but I think they more have to do with disagreements over the infobox than Canis' ability as an editor. -Xbony2 (talk) 17:24, 12 January 2019 (UTC)

3tusk's resignation from Editor, Translation Reviewer and other roles (if any) in FTB Wiki
I am not exactly sure which page this should go to, but I choose this one because it fits best.

It has been a quite long time since last time when I contributed to the Official FTB Wiki. Initially, I was thinking that one day I would regain some enthusiasm and be able to translate articles as often as I used to do, but as time goes by, I realize that the possibility is becoming smaller and smaller - I do not have second choice for real-life things, after all. Even my time spent on translation of Minecraft mods in general have decreased.

Further, I consider Fandom's acquisition of Gamepedia as a negative signal. I am not sure where the Official FTB Wiki will go, but I still worry about Fandom's and CurseMedia's current moves.

As such, I would like to resign from all my roles here. It was a very exciting and memorable experience to contribute here, but I think it is the time to put a period to this.

 * This is understandable; real life is important and stuff. We don't really remove the Editor role unless it's abused, so you will continue to keep it, but with no expectations of activity or anything. I don't know about the Fandom thing, I guess we'll see where that goes, but it is worth that noting that, even if worse comes to worse, FTB technically owns the copyright of the pages so we could pull out if we wanted (although that would be really bad). Please do stick around in the Discord though ^_^ -Xbony2 (talk) 21:01, 31 January 2019 (UTC)
