Want

 * Pchart4mw? This could be cool for certain pages.
 * Editcount Added!

Want-not

 * Semantic Wiki/Semantic Forms Removed!
 * DataValues/DataValues Common/DataValues Geo/DataValues Interfaces/DataValues Validators
 * DavaValues family of extensions i think is a dependency for one of the translation extensions (and potentially others). I don't think i does anything on its own but other extensions use it. -- Kappa
 * It's almost certainly never been needed for the translation extension; likely one of Curse's extension or something, since it's on all Gamepedia wikis that I've looked at. -Xbony2 (talk) 00:57, 24 March 2016 (UTC)

Will wait for any further comments plus a little extra time to get everything straight before pinging Gamepedia staff. Any extension we don't want or any extensions we have a fetish for? -Xbony2 (talk) 20:50, 5 February 2016 (UTC)
 * When would we use the chart one? --  Satanic Santa F T B Wiki Admin 20:56, 5 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Good question. A couple of mods are mathematical in function like RotaryCraft. -Xbony2 (talk) 21:08, 5 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Anybody else want/not want Pchart4mw? I'm mostly proposing it to see what others think about it. -Xbony2 (talk) 14:10, 7 February 2016 (UTC)
 * I don't think it would harm anyone to add it, I'm just not sure when we'd even use it :P --  Satanic Santa F T B Wiki Admin 23:06, 7 February 2016 (UTC)
 * I'll say this, I'd love some of these charts for graphical representation of the power requirements for some machines for RotaryCraft. Would be a great way to set this wiki apart from the others too :D Luke14199 (talk) 20:59, 6 March 2016 (UTC)

 * Why? --  Satanic Santa F T B Wiki Admin 19:14, 20 February 2016 (UTC)
 * To allow User:Xbony2/common/toolbar.js to have proper localizations, which is something, when complete, may become part of the wiki JS core. -Xbony2 (talk) 21:46, 20 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Okay well let's just wait for that to actually happen first --  Satanic Santa F T B Wiki Admin 21:48, 20 February 2016 (UTC)
 * These localizations are one of the things required before it is complete. -Xbony2 (talk) 21:49, 20 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Right, but it has not even been discussed. I'd prefer to keep the MW namespace clean until we're actually ready for it. --  Satanic Santa F T B Wiki Admin 21:56, 20 February 2016 (UTC)
 * It won't break anything. Why? -Xbony2 (talk) 01:12, 21 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Because if we decide against it A) We'll have to delete all of them, and B) I'll probably forget to delete them. --  Satanic Santa F T B Wiki Admin 01:36, 21 February 2016 (UTC)
 * A) Just because it may not be used per default doesn't mean people won't use it ;) and B) I'd remind me you constantly. C) ko gasnu .e'osai -Xbony2 (talk) 02:04, 21 February 2016 (UTC)


 * Requesting temp. adminship to do these and to make my script into a gadget. -Xbony2 (talk) 21:51, 21 March 2016 (UTC)
 * It still hasn't been decided if we are going to use these things. I'm waiting on a response from and perhaps  and . --  Satanic  Santa F T B Wiki Admin 01:00, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Do we really need to call everyone and their mother to do this? It's going to be a gadget; if anyone has a problem will it, they can just disable it in their preferences. Of course, it won't be on per default anyway when it's first introduced. -Xbony2 (talk) 01:07, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
 * We aren't an oligarchy. --  Satanic Santa F T B Wiki Admin 01:25, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
 * But we are. If we were a proper democracy, we'd have at least more then ten active staff members. -Xbony2 (talk) 11:15, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
 * We'd need 10 more active members before we could have 10 more active staff. A certain bunny needs to get breeding like his species is known for.  Chocohead Nag • Edits • Staff 16:16, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Anyway, SatanicSanta, if anybody had any serious objections or comments that they wanted to raise, they would do so. If someone doesn't keep track of RecentChanges, or at least the noticeboards, that's their own fault. This is something that's been tossed around for a month; there's been many chances to say "BONY THIS IS A TERRIBLE IDEA!" and no one really has... -Xbony2 (talk) 21:13, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Good point. I'll deal with it this week. --  Satanic Santa F T B Wiki Admin 03:44, 23 March 2016 (UTC)
 * I approve of these changes. Creating pages in MediaWiki: won't affect anything unless it is already in Special:AllMessages. I see no harm in trying. -- Kappa

Also, Xbony is right. Hint: An intimidating environment will scare away potential editiors. wp:WP:WER -- Kappa
 * The intimidating environment is not us arguing on the Admin's Noticeboard. The intimidating environment is all the complicated templates, which aren't going away. That and doing wiki work gets old quickly if you're not motivated.  Chocohead Nag • Edits • Staff 19:11, 23 March 2016 (UTC)

, I've created these pages. --  Satanic Santa F T B Wiki Admin 19:27, 23 March 2016 (UTC)
 * : They need to be moved to have the prefix "WikiEditor-", like MediaWiki:WikiEditor-section-templates. -Xbony2 (talk) 23:51, 25 March 2016 (UTC)
 * I've been having issues getting the localizations to work. However, I'd recommend keeping these in the case it does become fixed (and moving MediaWiki:WikiEditor-section-templates back to MediaWiki:section-templates). -Xbony2 (talk) 22:25, 8 April 2016 (UTC)

Protection 2
Requesting the unprotection of IndustrialCraft 2; I requested Retep to protect it until the removal of EU was announced as merely an April Fools joke.

And requesting the protection of List of Mod Author Patreon accounts to the "autoconfirmed" level, and move to the "staff" level. It is suppose to be a replacement for FTB's list on Confluence, so it'll be linked to on the top of the FTB Forums, so it'll be probably be a high-traffic page. -Xbony2 (talk) 12:56, 2 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Done --  Satanic Santa F T B Wiki Admin 16:19, 2 April 2016 (UTC)
 * PROTEST! List of Mod Author Patreon accounts really should not be sysop-only; staff-only at most. It's not like the main page; it's a pretty dynamic list, and I don't want to rely merely on you, since we know Retep probably isn't going to do shit. Also since I made the page it would make sense if I could edit it :P -Xbony2 22:12, 2 April 2016 (UTC)
 * u wot m8 🐇 R e t e p 9 9 8 🐇🐰 Bunny Overlord 🐰 23:22, 2 April 2016 (UTC)
 * yeah dat's rite. Here's some chocolate for your bunny-butt ->🍫 -Xbony2 (talk) 00:46, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
 * That was an accident. Sorry --  Satanic Santa F T B Wiki Admin 00:49, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Forgiven once you get me that Dutch bae. -Xbony2 (talk) 22:26, 8 April 2016 (UTC)

Toolbar finalizations
Requesting for User:Xbony2/common/toolbar.js to be moved to MediaWiki:Gadget-toolbar.js. I'd prefer a move rather than a copy-paste so that I can get the credit I somewhat deserve :P (don't worry about my JS being a bit broken from it). Next step is the conversion of it to a Gadget, and making it on per default. If you don't know how to do this, look here. There's also dozens of examples on Wikipedia and Wiktionary and on other wikis too. Or you could give me temp. adminship.

Before Santa or some other scrub protests that further input is needed... I disagree. I've had this on the centralized discussion and administrator's noticeboard for about two months now. Plus, if you don't like it, you can disable it. That's why I'm making it a Gadget; you can disable it. In fact, you can also disable the entire toolbar if you want (that doesn't have anything to do with being a gadget though). There will very likely be more input once it is put into usage for editors, which is fine since it's awfully easy to extend. -Xbony2 (talk) 22:48, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
