translations
You prepare pages for translations by:
 * surrounding text to translate with the translate tag.
 * If the page is a template or is expected to be transcluded onto other pages, wrap the translate tag with the noinclude tag.
 * adding to the name of templates and categories.
 * changing normal links to L.
 * making sure the page is complete and is not subject to change in the near future.
 * cleaning up any formatting errors.
 * append the langbar to the page.

If you guys have altered any of those rules, you guys did not update the translation guide and did not fix old translatable pages. --  Jin bo  bo  16:11, 24 June 2014 (BST)
 * Well, the translation guide is super barren and doesn't give any information, so I had to scour the MediaWiki wiki about the Translation Extension. I'm not sure why you are telling me this because I already know and have been doing it... --  SatanicSanta Talk • Contribs 19:34, 24 June 2014 (BST)
 * because
 * the translation guide is barren because translators only need to know how to translate links. The rest should be dealt with when the page is prepared for translation.
 * you are doing it wrong
 * suck it --  Jin bo  bo  23:50, 28 June 2014 (BST)
 * after all I invented most of the stuff you are using now lol. No one knows more about the wiki than me. --  Jin bo  bo  23:53, 28 June 2014 (BST)

Advanced Machines Help
Like we said here: http://wiki.feed-the-beast.com/User_talk:RealSketch#Help_plz Can you rename the Advanced Machines pages to Advanced Machines (AtomicStryker) so I can add Immibis's version too :)  Chocohead Nag • Contributions 20:51, 26 June 2014 (BST)
 * Should the Advanced Machines page be a disambiguation page? --  SatanicSanta Talk • Contribs •Admin 21:17, 26 June 2014 (BST)
 * Yes. That'd make sense.  Chocohead Nag • Additions  21:26, 26 June 2014 (BST)


 * Got the textures for both mods: Atomic - https://www.mediafire.com/?vkbvym9wl84bswp Immibis - https://www.mediafire.com/?vkbvym9wl84bswp  Chocohead  Nag • Additions  17:11, 27 June 2014 (BST)
 * The AtomicStryker one is done. The Immibis link is the same as the AS one, is this intended? I wouldn't think it should be identical... --  SatanicSanta Talk • Contribs •Admin 00:14, 28 June 2014 (BST)


 * Nope, blame Mediafire's auto-copy button. http://www.mediafire.com/download/9wfv5s3hg743bty/Advanced+Machines+%28Immibis%29+Textures.zip That should work.  Chocohead Nag • Additions  01:03, 28 June 2014 (BST)

review talk/user pages
Hey, do you think you could review all the user/talk pages? thanks.  R e t e p 9 9 8 Bunny Overlord•talk•contribs 02:37, 29 June 2014 (BST)
 * Why? As soon as a non-autochecked user edits them again they will go unreviewed. It'd be a huge waste of time. --  SatanicSanta Talk • Contribs •Admin 17:27, 29 June 2014 (BST)
 * there is no reviewing on user and talk pages, there are only patrolling. patrolling works per edit not per page as reviews are. --  Jin bo  bo  21:46, 29 June 2014 (BST)

Maybe we should usher in some of the GT peeps as editors proper so we don't have to review all their edits.  R e t e p 9 9 8 Bunny Overlord•talk•contribs 02:48, 29 June 2014 (BST)

Hello SatanNicholas, I would like to request permission to create a reference for Agrarian Skies on this Wiki.

Thanks, Best Regards -- Christophernjsp &middot; Talk &middot;Contribs 03:30, 2 July 2014 (BST)

Template Help
Both the canning machine's template (Template:Cg/Canning Machine) and the ore washing plant's (Template:Cg/Ore Washing Plant) are outdated and therefore wrong and unusable. Can you fix it, or tell me what to do to get them fixed? :)  Chocohead Nag • Additions  19:47, 2 July 2014 (BST)
 * What's outdated? The slots? The image? --  SatanicSanta Talk • Contribs •Admin 20:37, 2 July 2014 (BST)


 * The image (and therefore slots) for both. Especially the canning machine. The Ore Washing Plant is just missing a third output slot  Chocohead Nag • Additions  21:04, 2 July 2014 (BST)
 * If you get me an updated GUI image and tell me what each slot does, I'll update it. --  SatanicSanta Talk • Contribs •Admin 21:11, 2 July 2014 (BST)
 * GUI from in game right? Should I crop the rest of my inventory off, or will you do that?  Chocohead Nag • Additions  21:17, 2 July 2014 (BST)
 * Get it from the assets folder. --  SatanicSanta Talk • Contribs •Admin 21:19, 2 July 2014 (BST)


 * Here we go:


 * Ore Washing Plant: http://imgur.com/pXhQ1gh
 * Canning Machine - it is called Solid Canner in the game files and code, yet is called Canning Machine in game (just to confuse us :D): http://imgur.com/loL2Ef7
 * Bottling Plant - might get confused with Forestry's, but don't think Forestry's is uploaded: http://imgur.com/5vrsx5S
 * Canning Machine - very complicated, as the GUI arrows change, not just the rectangle selector: http://imgur.com/QbP81Ct
 * Here's a link to the pictures in game (which I happen to have lying around, so that you can see what they normally look like ;) http://imgur.com/a/D9i5J
 *  Chocohead Nag • Additions  21:37, 2 July 2014 (BST)
 * What do the slots for each machine do? Also, you listed Canning Machine twice? --  SatanicSanta Talk • Contribs •Admin 02:29, 3 July 2014 (BST)


 * 2 Canning Machines because there are 2 in the game, since Thunderdark likes to confuse you. As for the other things:


 * The Ore Washing Plant just has 1 more output slot (next to the other two). That is the only difference.


 * For the first Canning Machine (called the Solid Canner in the assets folder, but Canning Machine in game):
 * The left slot is for items to be canned
 * The middle slot is for cells/fuel rods to have the items canned into
 * The right slot is for the outputted item
 * The slot underneath the energy icon is for batteries


 * For the Bottling Plant:
 * The top slot going into the tank is input for filled cells
 * The bottom slot going into the tank is the input for empty cells
 * The slot coming out of the tank is for the outputted full cells
 * The tank stores liquid that either taken either from cells or pumped in
 * The slot underneath the energy icon is for batteries


 * For the (other) Canning Machine - Look here http://imgur.com/a/D9i5J to see different uses
 * Fluid Enrich:
 * The top left slot is for items to be canned into (CF Backpack or CF Sprayer for example)
 * The middle slot is the item to be enriched
 * The left tank is the fluid to be enriched
 * The right slot is for items which are full (eg: A full CF Backpack, or CF Sprayer)
 * The right tank is for the enriched fluid (which didn't fit in an item or the item was full)
 * Fill Cell From Tank Mode:
 * The top left slot is for cells to be filled
 * The middle slot is unavailable
 * The left tank is the fluid to be filled into a cell
 * The right slot is for cells which are full
 * The right tank is unused
 * Drain From Cell Into Tank Mode:
 * The top left slot is for cells to be drained
 * The middle slot is unavailable
 * The left tank is unused
 * The right slot is for emptied items
 * The right tank is for the emptied fluid
 * Canning Mode:
 * The top left slot is for cells or fuel rods to be canned into
 * The middle slot is for items to be canned
 * The left tank is unused
 * The right slot is for canned items
 * The right tank is unused
 * The slot underneath the energy icon is for batteries

have fun updating the ore washing plant template --  Jin bo  bo  04:18, 4 July 2014 (BST)

Thanks for clarifying
Hi SS, Thanks for the message. I was trying to use the images I had uploaded as banners for a WIP Magical Crops mod page, but I didn't know what I was doing, so I messed that up, sorry. Just please delete anything I screwed up. In the future, I'll do images the way it's meant to be done, if/when I need them. My sandbox: yes, I realized that after I previewed the article's page. I'm going to remove the sandbox page for now, and leave it for testing of a different sort. I found the formatting I needed on one of the Wiki's guide pages, so that's fixed now. In short, I'm still "getting my sea legs" around here. Sorry for not following the guidelines so far, and I'll do my best to stay within them from now on. Thanks for bearing with me.


 * Template:Navbox portals has a bunch of links to various things that you may want to read. Also, use ~ at the end of your messages, as it adds a signature with a link to your talk page, and a timestamp. ~ adds a signature without a timestamp. You can modify your signature in the Preferences page, found at the top of the wiki. --  SatanicSanta Talk • Contribs •Admin 20:51, 5 July 2014 (BST)

clarification on reviewing and patrolling
Pages in the main, file and template namespace needs to be reviewed, consecutive unreviewed edits can be reviewed at once. Pages with no reviewed revisions will display the latest revision, pages with reviewed revisions will display the most latest reviewed revision for anon users. You can tweak this behavior per page with the "Stabilize page" link in the admin toolbox on the right, or per user in the user's preference.

All other pages are under the patrol system. Every single edit must be patrolled, to patrol click the diff link in the pages' history or on the recent changes page. The latest revision will always be displayed.

This is part of the wiki content moderation process, so patrol and review everything when prompted. Do not ask why. --  Jin bo  bo  00:55, 8 July 2014 (BST)
 * I'm not gonna patrol/review something if I can't verify for myself that its correct (right now that's mostly gt/ic2 stuff) --  SatanicSanta Talk • Contribs •Admin 03:32, 8 July 2014 (BST)

Your Mods
Why are they both for 1.6.4? They look really cool and silly, but 1.7.10 is where it's at now :( Also well done for getting featured in Bevolj's latest modded news :)  Chocohead Nag • Additions  21:44, 9 July 2014 (BST)


 * Because kappa... :P
 * That's just Santa, also he probably wants to document everything before updating to the next stable MC version.
 * -- RealSketch •Staff •Talk •Contributions  21:46, 9 July 2014 (BST)


 * Because I'm still playing 1.6.4. I'm gonna update them once I get them working just how I want them. Then, once I get them to 1.7, I'm gonna keep backporting to 1.6.4 until the community has actually moved on.


 * If you want the actual reason, it's because I haven't updated my development environment in like 10 months, and I'm lazy. :P --  SatanicSanta Talk • Contribs •Admin 22:36, 9 July 2014 (BST)

Author Template Question
Are you anticipating to make pages for each mod author? What do you do with mods like IC2 which has something silly like 12 people on the team?  Chocohead Nag • Additions  19:36, 10 July 2014 (BST)
 * Yeah the staff briefly discussed it a short while ago. For something like IC2, just do IndustrialCraft 2 Dev Team or whatever they are called. If people on it make other mods, note that and have them have their own page. --  SatanicSanta Talk • Contribs •Admin 19:38, 10 July 2014 (BST)


 * Only Greg makes another mod, or he's the only one who's keeping one up still. Why don't you link the names from the infobox too?  Chocohead Nag • Additions  19:40, 10 July 2014 (BST)
 * RichardG and ThunderDark have other mods too. I hate links in infoboxes, apart from modpacks and externals. --  SatanicSanta Talk • Contribs •Admin 19:42, 10 July 2014 (BST)


 * Ahhh yes, Misc Peripherals and the original MFFS. Wow, that was a long time ago :D  Chocohead Nag • Additions  19:45, 10 July 2014 (BST)


 * Apparently the "Hidden Section" isn't hidden... :P

Forestry Tilesheet Question
Should I get together the new textures to update the Forestry tilesheet, or is it not worth it (or someone else already has)?  Chocohead Nag • Additions  18:00, 15 July 2014 (BST)
 * Please do it, and include bees and trees. If you want to do Magic Bees, and Binnie's Mods, that'd be awesome too ;) --  SatanicSanta Talk • Contribs •Admin 18:06, 15 July 2014 (BST)


 * Are the bees (and trees) all items (so can be taken out of the Forestry.jar), or do I have to get each individual one out of the game?  Chocohead Nag • Additions  18:18, 15 July 2014 (BST)


 * They are all items, but I'm not sure how they are implemented. If Sengir was clever, he might've made a grey Bee and a grey Tree and just hardcoded the colors in. Check the assets first, and if I'm correct get them from in game, if I'm wrong, get them from the assets. Bee names should be  Bee, and trees should only include the species, not "Sapling" or "Tree". --  SatanicSanta Talk • Contribs •Admin 18:21, 15 July 2014 (BST)


 * From what I can see, it's just a grey texture, meaning I'll have to get every bee and print-screen them. Dang.  Chocohead Nag • Additions  18:26, 15 July 2014 (BST)


 * If you use Photoshop, or another program that has brush functionality, you could just make a brush with the shape of it. --  SatanicSanta Talk • Contribs •Admin 18:27, 15 July 2014 (BST)


 * I don't have to do the butterflies as well do I? Since there's no imprinter for them, so there's no way I can get all of them.  Chocohead Nag • Additions  20:19, 15 July 2014 (BST)


 * I'm not gonna force you, but I'm not gonna stop you ;) --  SatanicSanta Talk • Contribs •Admin 20:21, 15 July 2014 (BST)


 * I don't even know how you breed them :D  Chocohead Nag • Additions  20:46, 15 July 2014 (BST)


 * That would be for the WIP Forestry team to figure out. -- Padfoote Staff • Talk • Contributions 20:58, 15 July 2014 (BST)


 * We have one of those now? I thought they all left/disappeared.  Chocohead Nag • Additions  21:12, 15 July 2014 (BST)

 * Botania -> IC2 -> Forestry, unless User:Retep998 does 'em before me. --  SatanicSanta Talk • Contribs •Admin 21:38, 15 July 2014 (BST)


 * Over 400 blocks and other items that must be screenshot'd, and cropped. AKA over 44 chest rows. Your Botania tiles not looking as bad now? Any tips to mass crop them into 32 x 32 squares?  Chocohead Nag • Additions  21:49, 15 July 2014 (BST)
