Welcome to the FTB Wiki
Hello RealSketch, welcome to the FTB Wiki. When making edits please be sure to include an edit summary. Edit summaries are helpful for people trying to view an article's history. Thank you, --  Satanic Santa Staff•talk•SysOp 00:28, 19 February 2014 (GMT)
 * There are a couple things I need to let you know. First, this is the second time that I have told you to use Edit Summaries; please do so. Secondly, all pages must include an infobox, as stated in the Article Creation Guideline, "Creating articles without infoboxes when needed will always result in a warning. Repeated violations will result in a block." I recommend reading that to avoid future warnings (yes, this is a warning). --  Satanic Santa SysOp•talk 00:04, 8 March 2014 (GMT)
 * I just realized I should probably tell you which page I am talking about; your edits on Dye Trees violated terms. --  Satanic Santa SysOp•talk 00:05, 8 March 2014 (GMT)
 * Wow! I am really forgetful right now! I must be tired... You also forgot to include Categories, and a Langbar, these are required parts of all articles. --  Satanic Santa SysOp•talk 00:07, 8 March 2014 (GMT)


 * Hi SatanicSanta, sorry I haven't been replying, I'm finding wiki code just a bit difficult. I really do want to help but I need to take a tutorial on this stuff. :) - RealSketch (talk) 19:36, 18 April 2014 (BST)RealSketch


 * no worries. I recommend taking a look at other pages for reference until you understand it. Witchery pages are a good example. Templates always have documentation, so be sure to read up on those. --  Satanic Santa SysOp•talk 21:00, 18 April 2014 (BST)

Adv Genetics tiles
Hey, so could you get me the Advanced Genetics images? Follow the image uploading guideline for how to get them. --  Satanic Santa Admin • Editor  18:30, 13 June 2014 (BST)

I'll try, still fairly new. But I'm sure I'll be fine. :) --RealSketch (talk) 18:34, 13 June 2014 (BST)RealSketch
 * Specifically the grid images section. -- Padfoote (talk) 18:41, 13 June 2014 (BST)

I've got the items done, the blocks I'll get done hopefully soon. --SNIP-- --RealSketch (talk) 18:42, 13 June 2014 (BST)RealSketch
 * Working on it now ;) --  Satanic Santa Admin • Editor  00:01, 14 June 2014 (BST)

Tilesheet is done. You'll be able to see it when either clear your caches/cookies, or hard refresh. --  Satanic Santa Admin • Editor  06:07, 15 June 2014 (BST)

Are you interested in joining the team? --  Satanic Santa Admin • Editor  22:45, 14 June 2014 (BST)

Wow, so soon?! Before I say anything, do you truly believe I know enough WikiMarkup, information about mods and how to use the Wiki? --RealSketch (talk) 22:50, 14 June 2014 (BST)RealSketch
 * Yeah. You know just about as much as Padfoote. If you have any questions just ask me or Retep. Hell, I'm still learning how to use the OreDict and Translation Extensions. --  Satanic Santa Admin • Editor  01:35, 15 June 2014 (BST)

Just a hint
By the way, you don't need to do Things. You can just do Things, and it will work the same way. I find it to be slightly easier and quicker, and will also save a few bytes on the server, I mean, we still have like 15GB of space left IIRC, but still :P --  Satanic Santa Admin • Editor  19:02, 17 June 2014 (BST)

Will do. :) --RealSketch (talk) 19:06, 17 June 2014 (BST)RealSketch
 * Also, your signature is derping. --  Satanic Santa Admin • Editor  20:30, 18 June 2014 (BST)

Derping as in?...--RealSketch (talk) 20:39, 18 June 2014 (BST)RealSketch

Hmmm, fixes? --* RealSketch *  Talk 20:49, 18 June 2014 (BST)

Question
What do you capitalise and what don't you? Some pages it's nouns, others it's links, and in some nothing is. Is there any definite policy?  Chocohead Nag • Contributions 22:53, 24 June 2014 (BST)


 * Blocks, items and official names all need capitals, and of course, users should use proper grammar when writing. Whatever the mod author names the item or block is what we name it. Non key-words are an exception in some cases though.


 * About the nouns, links etc.
 * It all comes down to the user. I for one capitalize all words in a section header, but others may just capitalize it like a sentence, as long as the information is correct and appropriate, then it's fine.
 * As far as I know, there is no specific policy for capitalization, though guidelines on headings and articles can be found on the Manual of Style.
 * http://wiki.feed-the-beast.com/Feed_The_Beast_wiki:MOS
 * Hope I cleared some things up for you. :)
 * --  Real Sketch  •Staff •Talk •Contributions 23:06, 24 June 2014 (BST)
 * The way I handle things is by going with standard English grammar rules. The exception being for links, blocks, items, entities, mods, etc, where I will capitalize them to help make them stand out (and because OCD). Hope this helps. -- Padfoote Staff • Talk • Contributions 02:15, 25 June 2014 (BST)
 * Okay, here's the actual answer. Links should be capitalized if they are the title of an article, item, block, etc. Sections should be capitalized as if they were in a sentence, unless it is a quote of something else. Article titles should be capitalized as if they are a title, or whatever the exact in-game name is (seems obvious, and I'm changing the MOS right now because it says the wrong thing, and the article title of itself breaks that rule. I can't honestly think of an article that follows that rule). Don't un-capitalize a link unless you are changing the name of it (for example, you wouldn't say railcraft in a sentence, but you would say the mod that expands on rail functionality). --  SatanicSanta Talk • Contribs 02:38, 25 June 2014 (BST)


 * What they said, Santa's word is admin, Padfoote's is much more experienced than mine and mine is just sketchy.
 * --  Real Sketch  •Staff •Talk •Contributions 18:59, 25 June 2014 (BST)

Soo, could you help?
Yeah, I decided to give EIO a shot again. However, I have no clue how to change the background to clear. Could you do this and then post it on my talk page? I'll toss it to Santa after that. [https://www.dropbox.com/s/qryn7536025ncws/EIOPics.7z Here are the pics I took. (Download link)]


 * Yep, I don't mind getting the backgrounds done. But you did a few things incorrectly.
 * The tiles should be 32x32 pixels, that's just the inventory slot size without the gray shadow on the top left, so remove that shadow and have the block/item in the centre. You only need the gray area with the resource in the middle, cut out any white or black lines around it and it should leave you with 32x32p.
 * The names need to be exactly what they are called in game, you can edit these later if you really need to.


 * Once you've done that, resend them to me and I'll get all the backgrounds done. :)
 * --  Real Sketch  •Staff •Talk •Contributions 19:46, 26 June 2014 (BST)
 * Eh, I'm fine with removing the backgrounds myself. My only request is that you (trajing) rename the files to be their exact in-game name. --  SatanicSanta Talk • Contribs •Admin 22:05, 26 June 2014 (BST)


 * Santa is free to do it, though "I want him to add additional tiles" to ABO. Now I can start learning some Botania! -- Real Sketch •Purple Dragon •Staff •Talk •Contributions 22:08, 26 June 2014 (BST)
 * Alright Santa, edited. Same download. Trajing (talk) 19:39, 27 June 2014 (BST)

Help plz ;)
I want to add Immibis's Advanced Machines to the wiki, but with Atomic Striker's conveniently named the same thing, what should I do?  Chocohead Nag • Contributions 20:13, 26 June 2014 (BST)
 * Advanced Machines (Immibis) and Advanced Machines (Atomic Striker)-- Padfoote Staff • Talk • Contributions 20:29, 26 June 2014 (BST)
 * Should I just rename all the current Advanced Machines pages? Can you even do that without making new ones?  Chocohead Nag • Contributions 20:37, 26 June 2014 (BST)


 * As far as I know, only admins can edit article names, me and Padfoote do not have the ability to do that, but maybe ask Santa? :)
 * Also, isn't it "AtomicStryker".
 * --  Real Sketch  •Staff •Talk •Contributions 20:43, 26 June 2014 (BST)
 * Yes it is, I'll bug Santa.  Chocohead Nag • Contributions 20:48, 26 June 2014 (BST)


 * Hmm, we can actually change titles by moving pages, just not ones marked for translation (which is basically every mod article). Any block or item article we can change. ;)
 * --  Real Sketch  •Staff •Talk •Contributions 21:24, 26 June 2014 (BST)
 * I dun did it. --  SatanicSanta Talk • Contribs •Admin 21:31, 26 June 2014 (BST)
 * Guess I'll have to get textures for them both too. I'll get on it.  Chocohead Nag • Additions  21:41, 26 June 2014 (BST)


 * You dun did gud Santa! --  Real Sketch  •Staff •Talk •Contributions 21:53, 26 June 2014 (BST)

How would I do the one for Immibis' Advanced Machines without screwing up AtomicStryer's? Is it fine to make navboxes for mods which are missing them, or do you have to ask first?  Chocohead Nag • Additions  17:55, 27 June 2014 (BST) PS: Do you know where the list of all the mod initials (IE, IC2 = Industrial Craft 2) is?
 * What are you trying to do and are afraid of breaking? Follow the template guidelines for the navbox and you'll be fine to make it. Abbreviations. -- Padfoote Staff • Talk • Contributions 20:00, 27 June 2014 (BST)


 * The Advanced Machines one currently doesn't seem to have any references to the fact it's AtomicStryker's version, so I was worried that making the Immibis one might end up conflicting.  Chocohead Nag • Additions  20:21, 27 June 2014 (BST)
 * The navbox? It'll probably need a move to fix that. -- Padfoote Staff • Talk • Contributions 21:50, 27 June 2014 (BST)


 * ? Forgive me if I'm on a different page to you but is it conflicting your worrying about?
 * The images could be named with "22:39, 27 June 2014 (BST)(AtomicStryker)" and "22:39, 27 June 2014 (BST)(immibis)"? -- Real Sketch •Purple Dragon •Staff •Talk •Contributions 22:39, 27 June 2014 (BST)
 * The grid images are saved with a name and mod ID assigned to them. They won't conflict unless the mod IDs are identical, which shouldn't happen. -- Padfoote Staff • Talk • Contributions 22:42, 27 June 2014 (BST)


 * You're fine then, if anything goes wrong you can just change the ID, but like Padfoote said, it shouldn't go wrong. -- Real Sketch •Purple Dragon •Staff •Talk •Contributions 22:44, 27 June 2014 (BST)


 * OK then. The main point was that the current Advanced Machines naxbox doesn't say explicitly that it's for AtomicStryker's version, but if the Immibis' one does, I expect it'll be ok  Chocohead Nag • Additions  01:05, 28 June 2014 (BST)


 * Good luck, and don't forget about that Energy Units article I mentioned on your talk page. :)

IC2 Logo Help
Is there anyway to set this to the IC2 Getting Started Guide logo? Or setting it to the IC2 logo, since it is the official logo? http://imgur.com/5RDI2A1  Chocohead Nag • Additions  17:39, 1 July 2014 (BST)


 * Snip. Hold on a sec.
 * EDIT: I think it would be reptep you want to send it to. :)
 * -- RealSketch •Staff •Talk •Contributions  17:43, 1 July 2014 (BST)
 * User:Chocohead, you can upload that to use. You'll need to use some image code to use it, and that is one thing I haven't messed with yet. Real, Santa and retep get stuff for tile sheets. This is an acceptable image upload, for future reference. ;) -- Padfoote Staff • Talk • Contributions 20:58, 1 July 2014 (BST)
