Translating navboxes
You are unfortunately translating Navbox Gregtech incorrectly. To quote myself in PMs to someone else trying to translate them.

You have been translating the second parameter instead of only the third, resulting in incorrect links and images.  R e t e p 9 9 8 Bunny Overlord•talk•contribs 10:14, 26 September 2014 (BST)

Sorry Retep998 !!! Yes right, I have translated the second parameter sometimes. Did I understand correctly, that my translation is always on the third parameter and, if no second parameter is included, I have to insert: "|3=...." ??? I will correct the errors today !--LuminousLizard (talk) 10:42, 26 September 2014 (BST)
 * Yep, that is correct.  R e t e p 9 9 8 Bunny Overlord•talk•contribs 11:22, 26 September 2014 (BST)


 * Ok, it should now be corrected ! I hope I haven't anything forget, but I did it again translated from scratch.--LuminousLizard (talk) 14:23, 26 September 2014 (BST)

With the new module navbox system, you still should only translate the third parameter to each ni{} block, and if there is no third parameter, then copy paste the second parameter (or the first if there is no second) until there are three parameters, and then you can translate it.🐇 R e t e p 9 9 8 🐇🐰 Bunny Overlord 🐰 09:38, 23 January 2015 (UTC)


 * Got it, I'll put my translation in third place. But I still have a question: Where can I actually see the module in action ??? Especially to check the "logical sense" of my translation. (In a few words sometimes difficult :/ !) --LuminousLizard de-native / "en-B2" (talk) 09:56, 23 January 2015 (UTC)
 * The module is now live, so you can view the module on any /de GregTech page such as GregTech/de. Also, when you are translating l{} things, only translate the second parameter, and copy paste the first parameter if the second parameter doesn't exist. Thanks. 🐇 R e t e p 9 9 8 🐇🐰 Bunny Overlord 🐰 10:30, 23 January 2015 (UTC)


 * Ok, I will do that. And thx ... now the module works. --LuminousLizard de-native / "en-B2" (talk) 14:56, 23 January 2015 (UTC)

Language levels
Are you a native English speaker, or CEFR B2? And are you a native German speaker, or ILR 4? --  Satanic Santa Contribs •Administrator and Editor 14:37, 7 October 2014 (BST)


 * 1) I'm a native German speaker.
 * 2) According to the recent recognition of my high school graduation exam in English, I will own the CEFR level B2 ... but I advise to trust my knowledge. After 6 years without use (or not much), I am currently working hard on my english skills again, but up from the basics.

 * Wanna be a staff translator person? --  Satanic Santa Contribs •Administrator and Editor 18:08, 12 October 2014 (BST)


 * If you do choose to be part of the translation staff you will have the responsibility of reviewing all translations made to your language.  R e t e p 9 9 8 Bunny Overlord•talk•contribs 18:43, 12 October 2014 (BST)


 * Oh ok ... thx for the offer. For German, I can do the work, if you still looking for someone for it ^^ ! I'll help where I can.


 * And I have also the first question: When translating the help pages, my translation of the titles are saved but simultaneously labeled as outdated ? For example "Help: Bots" is in German "Hilfe: Bots", the system save the title, but label it as outdated and shows the message "The namespace differs from that in the translation template" ??? Thus the translations are not 100% complete.


 * Furthermore I wanted to ask anyway, if I may be allowed to create not existing articles in English ? Or should I contribute text proposals only in the respective discussion page ?


 * --LuminousLizard (talk) 21:09, 12 October 2014 (BST)


 * Anyone can create articles. Not sure about the first question though. Do you have a FTB Forum account? --  Satanic Santa Contribs •Administrator and Editor 21:47, 12 October 2014 (BST)


 * No, I have not a FTB Forum account yet ! But I will still register.

Links in translatable pages
When editing pages that can be translated, be sure to use L instead of. Thanks. --  Satanic Santa F T B Wiki Admin 04:30, 22 April 2015 (UTC)


 * OK ... that is nice to know ... after I created 90% of the articles for Project Red -.-' ! I'm a noob ... I've no idea of some formatting characters. --LuminousLizard de-native / "en-B2" (talk) 10:19, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

"Worth knowing" section
I think there could be a better name for this section. Perhaps "X in the real world" or something like that? What do you think? --  Satanic Santa F T B Wiki Admin 20:37, 19 December 2015 (UTC)


 * "X in the real world" is probably a better idea. At Project Red I've installed it in the top text, and at MineChem with a own heading. My intention was to connect things in-game with real science, so that the player maybe get enthusiastic about certain things. For example for chemistry or biology in MineChem, or for electronic in Project Red. "X in the real world" would better point to the real counterpart. At which position the section should be in ? I think, the recipe and the usage of the item here is first important, and than this section for those interested ? --LuminousLizard de-native / "en-B2" (talk) 22:26, 20 December 2015 (UTC)
 * I like it's position, to be honest. what do you think? Should we move it? Should we use a better name? --  Satanic  Santa F T B Wiki Admin 23:20, 20 December 2015 (UTC)

Those gate pages with massive tables
Is there a reason to duplicate all those massive tables for each gate page, specially since most of them don't apply to that specific gate? 🐇 R e t e p 9 9 8 🐇🐰 Bunny Overlord 🐰 13:17, 14 February 2016 (UTC)


 * At first, I thought about the construction of this part. I had the idea to pack all the normal options (available for all pipes) on the side of the abstract (for example Gate) and only the specific options on the side of the respective gate. But I prefered to have everything for every gate together and not to link from page to page. But if you want this construction, then I build it so ?! --LuminousLizard de-native / "en-B2" (talk) 13:27, 14 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Addition: Furthermore I have a problem with the higher gates (Gold and above) because some options are interdependent / build on each other. --LuminousLizard de-native / "en-B2" (talk) 13:32, 14 February 2016 (UTC)


 * I personally think it is better for a general page like Gate to summarize all the options available and have a massive table like that. Then on the individual page for each gate it would list only the triggers that apply to that gate specifically. If a person wants to see the information on all the gates without clicking around they can just go to Gate and if they want more information on a specific gate they can go to that specific page without being inundated with a table of information that having nothing to do with that specific gate. As for the more advanced gates, include all the options that are necessary to cover the interdependent behavior, but no more. As it is when I look at the table I don't even know what it is telling me. Some of the entries are highlighted yellow with no explanation of what that means. 🐇 R e t e p 9 9 8 🐇🐰 Bunny Overlord 🐰 13:39, 14 February 2016 (UTC)


 * Ok ok ... *sign* ! "Some of the entries are highlighted yellow with no explanation of what that means." ... which article ? I have nothing found ? --LuminousLizard de-native / "en-B2" (talk) 15:28, 14 February 2016 (UTC)


 * Like on Light Sensor Iron Gate it doesn't include an explanation next to the table, instead it is buried deep in a paragraph in a previous section. Most of the information in that table is not specific to the Light Sensor Iron Gate at all. Since it is a strict specialization of the Iron Gate it should only really need information on how it functions relative to the Iron Gate. Maybe someone else could offer their opinion on how to do it as well. 🐇 R e t e p 9 9 8 🐇🐰 Bunny Overlord 🐰 21:10, 14 February 2016 (UTC)


 * No ... I will rebuild it in my next freetime. --LuminousLizard de-native / "en-B2" (talk) 22:19, 14 February 2016 (UTC)
