Stuff to mark
Can you mark Template:Cleanup and Template:Bee for translation please? Also yell at Santa for being useless and incompetent for doing both wrong.  Chocohead Nag • Edits • Staff 11:56, 1 July 2015 (UTC)

Translated pages
Can your bot handle editing pages that are already marked for translation? I just wrote some Ruby code using the mediawiki_api and still get the same error that my old code did, the hookaborted crap. --  Satanic Santa F T B Wiki Admin 23:48, 3 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Huh that's really weird. It worked on my Module:Mods/list test (on my sandbox), but not with the mods/minor mods templates. I guess it's not really *that* important since we'll be doing some sort of autoupdate thing in the future. But it's still weird. --  Satanic Santa F T B Wiki Admin 00:06, 4 July 2015 (UTC)
 * It just edits the pages and adds some of the markup, if that's what you mean. -Xbony2 (talk) 00:14, 4 July 2015 (UTC)
 * No. I mean editing pages that have already been marked. Like, not the command that adds the markup :P --  Satanic Santa F T B Wiki Admin 01:51, 4 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Probably, I'm not sure what you mean :P -Xbony2 (talk) 12:11, 4 July 2015 (UTC)

From Arcuesfanatic
I don't know where the proper place to talk to you is, so hopefully you see this. I am not good with Wiki templates, but I can at least fill out information, particularly on Aura Cascade where there is little documentation outside of the in-game Encyclopedia Aura, and even that can be a little misleading and confusing. I'll do what I can to bring accurate information about the mod, but I suck at proper formatting, so if you could help me with that, that would be great. Thanks.


 * @ Be sure to come onto the and ask for any help you need. There is usually someone there that will be willing to help you understand any formatting issues or queries you may have! And be sure to sign your posts with ~ and ask questions by posting messages on talk pages! :) --  Satanic  Santa F T B Wiki Admin 00:04, 8 August 2015 (UTC)
 * what Santa said :p don't avoid adding information because you're new to the wiki and such, I'll work on format stuff later. -Xbony2 (talk) 01:42, 8 August 2015 (UTC)

Noincludes
In your recent edit to Navbox Santa's Toys, you added a bunch of noincludes. Why? Unless shit wasn't reloading properly on my end (which is possible), it didn't really seem to change anything. --  Satanic Santa F T B Wiki Admin 20:52, 9 August 2015 (UTC)
 * : it needs it. You could (note the past tense) see " Santa's Toys " on the Santa's Toys/es-ni/Santa's Toys/tl, rather then "Santa's Toys", although it looks all fine on the actual template page. -Xbony2 (talk) 20:57, 9 August 2015 (UTC)


 * All templates require translation tags to be surrounded in noincludes so that the translations are taken from the template rather than the tags also being interpreted on the page a template is added to.  Chocohead Nag • Edits • Staff 21:29, 9 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Pretty much what Choco said. Modules (navbox or otherwise) are a nice way to avoid these though. -Xbony2 (talk) 22:14, 9 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Ah, so basically it's an issue on the translated version of the page, not the source page. Gotcha. --  Satanic Santa F T B Wiki Admin 22:56, 9 August 2015 (UTC)

RC Cat
Any chance you can use for messing with categories? Lotta RC spam as-is. - PaladinAHOne Staff (talk) 03:27, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Thing is, the category overhaul requires a lot of sanity checking and basically everything varies depending on the page and its contents. It probably wouldn't work with a bot, unfortunately. --  Satanic Santa F T B Wiki Admin 05:38, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
 * If you do it by hand, but while logged in to a bot account, then you can both avoid RC spam and still be able to treat pages on a case by case basis. 🐇 R e t e p 9 9 8 🐇🐰 Bunny Overlord 🐰 08:39, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
 * I'd like to make a good API for wiki manipulation and have ESAEBSAD use it, since there's no good ruby API for mediawiki such crap. Btw Paladin, thanks for Cg/Crucible. -Xbony2 (talk) 12:03, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
 * What does this have to do with anything? Also Retep's idea is very good. --  Satanic Santa F T B Wiki Admin 18:41, 20 August 2015 (UTC)

Using abbreviations in articles
Please make sure that you are following the abbreviation guidelines described in the Manual of Style. Your recent article, Diesel Generator (Immersive Engineering), does not follow this style. Thanks. --  Satanic Santa F T B Wiki Admin 20:59, 21 August 2015 (UTC)
 * With what, RF? (this isn't a recent article btw, it was made more then a month ago) -Xbony2 (talk) 12:44, 22 August 2015 (UTC)
 * yes with rf --  Satanic Santa F T B Wiki Admin 16:42, 22 August 2015 (UTC)

Recent rollbacks
How did that edit to Module:Mod List prevent us from using L? I don't see the relation there... --  Satanic Santa F T B Wiki Admin 20:45, 23 August 2015 (UTC)
 * L adds the slash automatically, and is basically made to use it. -Xbony2 (talk) 21:00, 23 August 2015 (UTC)

Totally not here just for the bees. Maybe.
Welcomed a couple editors to the wiki (none of them ever stayed, of course). -XBony2

Thanks for welcoming me ;u;

So, are there any unwritten guidelines/rules or whatnot not in the Manual of Style? I've been an editor on some other wikis but the FTB one is painfully new. Perhaps an esoteric song of praise to admins in order to curry favour?

 * signing posts with ~ is one ;) Also talk a look at the Article Creation Guideline. --  Satanic Santa F T B Wiki Admin 15:46, 25 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Can we rename that to Article Creation Guidelines? That's been bugging me for months. - PaladinAHOne Staff (talk) 15:59, 25 August 2015 (UTC)
 * I agree, although that rename is a topic for the staff noticeboard, not here. —   NickTheRed37 t/c • F T B &ensp;Wiki Translator 17:57, 25 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Antimonyantinomy- there's some stuff related to categories (semi-refactor going to currently), but don't worry about that. -Xbony2 (talk) 21:43, 25 August 2015 (UTC)
 * (To elaborate I don't think the current category changes will effect any bee-related stuff) -Xbony2 (talk) 22:33, 25 August 2015 (UTC)
 * If anything, the changes that will be made will be updated automatically by my bot, so the user really does not need to worry at all. --  Satanic Santa F T B Wiki Admin 07:33, 26 August 2015 (UTC)
