Navbox
The thaumcraft 4 navbox seems broken? GreenZombie76 (talk) 06:06, 24 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Fixed :) --  Satanic Santa 🎅F T B Wiki Admin 06:18, 24 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Opps, sorry about that :c -Xbony2 (talk) 11:27, 24 September 2016 (UTC)

Greatwood trees
Greatwood trees will grow from a single sapling. The greatwood tree, a 4x4, will grow centered on the top left corner of the block that the sapling was placed in. i.e. a Greatwood sapling placed at 1,1, will grow to fill [0,0]-[1,1]. GreenZombie76 (talk) 06:36, 10 February 2017 (UTC)

Request for infobox creation
Is there a way to take the Infobox from Thaumcraft 3 and tweak it into Thaumcraft 4 usage? I tried fiddling around with a new page, Module:Infobox/Thaumcraft_4 by altering the code from Module:Infobox/Thaumcraft_3 and using the #invoke extension on Template:Infobox Thaumcraft 4 and it's coming out strange. Could anyone help fix this? It'd be easier to put the aspects in the infobox rather than in its own section in each article. Thanks! (´ヘ｀;) --SirMoogle (talk) 09:58, 16 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Should be functional now :) --  Satanic Santa 🎅F T B Wiki Admin 17:32, 16 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks! --SirMoogle (talk) 22:26, 16 February 2017 (UTC)
 * I'd rather have aspects be part of the standard navbox. -Xbony2 (talk) 23:31, 16 February 2017 (UTC)
 * I'd rather have that as well Xbony2 as many vanilla items have aspects too. --SirMoogle (talk) 17:27, 17 February 2017 (UTC)
 * I'd rather not. what do you think? --  Satanic  Santa 🎅F T B Wiki Admin 20:47, 17 February 2017 (UTC)
 * All the GregTech stuff has aspects, and even adds some new aspects. Having a way to add aspects in a consistent standard way across all item articles and not just thaumcraft articles would be useful. 12:38, 18 February 2017 (UTC)
 * That doesn't really explain your position as you can easily invoke Infobox Thaumcraft 4 (or whatever version) on the GT pages. --  Satanic Santa 🎅F T B Wiki Admin 19:47, 18 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Being awkwardly placed in another infobox is just awkward. We should have one unified infobox, not a stack of awkward infoboxes with like one parameter each. -Xbony2 (talk) 21:07, 18 February 2017 (UTC)
 * I guess one thing that could be done (if aspects are integrated into the main navbox) is to link the word "Aspects" to the relevant page if needed. One problem I do foresee with doing that is that there are some changes in aspects between versions 4 and 5, and it'd depend on which version's should be put down. --SirMoogle (talk) 17:15, 20 February 2017 (UTC)

Referring to aspects in article as their icons?
Would it be better to just refer to the aspects in all Thaumcraft 4 articles by using their icons rather than their names? It's easier to associate an aspect with its icon rather than with its Latin name for some players. The tooltips generated when hovering over them should suffice. --SirMoogle (talk) 00:11, 3 March 2017 (UTC)
 * How do you feel about A16N? --  Satanic Santa 🎅F T B Wiki Admin 00:18, 3 March 2017 (UTC)
 * A better name for the template would probably be TIconAspect, but it's a good idea. - DSquirrelGM &#120035;&#120031;&#120018; 00:34, 3 March 2017 (UTC)
 * I named it A16N for two reasons: (1) to match Pn and P16; (2) so that it is short (but still descriptive) as using long template names frequently in articles is annoying. --  Satanic Santa 🎅F T B Wiki Admin 00:39, 3 March 2017 (UTC)
 * The accompanying icons are small for me and the lighter-coloured aspects lose some detail against a white background. Maybe change the size to 24x24 px or 32x32 px? --SirMoogle (talk) 00:45, 3 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Using a 24px tile size would require having an actual tilesheet for TC4A at size 24. We don't do scaling on-wiki. --  Satanic Santa 🎅F T B Wiki Admin 02:55, 3 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Oh, I see. In that case I'd prefer just using  for articles as the icons used for that template are a little larger, details clearer, and a tooltip that already has their name when hovering over it. --SirMoogle (talk) 03:10, 3 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Feel free to delete A16N if you don't plan on using it :) --  Satanic Santa 🎅F T B Wiki Admin 03:12, 3 March 2017 (UTC)
 * I did a tiny bit of CSS'ing at User:TheSatanicSanta/Sandbox/Aspect. Notice their vertical position in the block of text (and that there is no change in the recipe and infobox). What do you think about this? --  Satanic Santa 🎅F T B Wiki Admin 05:16, 3 March 2017 (UTC)
 * So the only real difference is the positioning so that the icons are lower in the lines of text? I support it as it won't push the line above it as much. --SirMoogle (talk) 05:34, 3 March 2017 (UTC)
