The Chat
I have it all back! Not sure how, but I appreciate all your help. In the end it fixed itself... Thanks again Ghost ;)

GRA weapon names
Can I ask you to run through the GRA weapon names? I'm not sure they are all named right, sometimes starting with GRA and sometimes not. Same thing for weapon mods. I'm having some trouble seeing the system in it. Jspoel  19:34, September 27, 2011 (UTC)
 * I found the mediawikipages list, it's here. I want to change the chat link in the welcome message, still searching...
 * Want a screenshot of all names? Could just take one right out of FNVEdit. IPodged 22:21, September 27, 2011 (UTC)

Tim to the Adams
Hi Ghost ;)!

I copy paste for you the message of Tim to the Adams about his ban:

''Truthfully, right before I was banned I was typing down I was sorry before I was banned (literally right after I stopped counting down for Scar before I was spamming hair brained such as 32 after 10) I meant to say sorry but I was kick banned before I could, however I suppose I should say sorry IF and when I do get unbanned, if an apology is what Scar wants he'll get one personally. And I leave the rest to you because I have no say in this other then my apologies. Also. I believe I sent Scar a message right after I was kick banned saying I apologized. However I didn't know if the kick ban takes effect after you get kicked. So I don't know that status on that. Sincerely,Tim to the Adams 21:45, September 27, 2011 (UTC) (P.S. I know GhostAvatar kick banned me but I suppose I agitated Scar with the spamming)...''

So, it's ok for you to unban him after reading this? Itachou [~talk~] 21:52, September 27, 2011 (UTC)

Your katana image
Haha sorry, actually I was doing the same thing at the same time.

Also for Tim to the Adams, what's the deal ;)? Itachou [~talk~] 23:54, September 27, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yeah I saw since it's one of my favorite image here so far =). As soon as I saw, I do my best to re-upload it, but I forgot that .png spend more than 10mb, so I had to upload it in .jpg and it at this moment we are crossed.


 * Sorry for you I imagine that you was upset since the time you have spent for this, I think Ausir was probably in a hurry and didn't realize. Anyway, everything is back to normal it's good ;).


 * Thanks for Tim, I will tell him. Have a nice evening and see soon Ghost! Itachou [~talk~] 00:12, September 28, 2011 (UTC)

Workbench crate
Hi, still waiting for an answer to the last entry inside Talk:Workbench crate. Thanks. --Vladimir-Lem 08:12, September 28, 2011 (UTC)

Pistols
Thanks for warned me, I didn't saw before you tell me (it's specific to the 5.56mm pistol and That Gun I think). I will pay more attention for the next time ;). Itachou [~talk~] 23:43, September 28, 2011 (UTC)


 * Haha thanks again, pretty nice advice, I see you've worked a lot with the GECK =). A question comes to my mind. For Shishkebabs, while using the GECK I found a way to show their flames. It would be better to put this image in the gallery instead of in the infobox right? Itachou [~talk~] 23:53, September 28, 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, it shows ;). For the effects I see what you talking about (it's the same for force fields, semi-transparent effect), but don't worry about the flames, I found a way to have a correct image =). I will take care of both (regular and Gehenna) tomorrow. Itachou [~talk~] 00:06, September 29, 2011 (UTC)

Thank you!
I wanted to extend my thanks to you. I'm wicked thankful you where able to run the Lonesome Road DLC giveaway. I was excited to enter just because picking of some of my favorite songs I wish where in F:NV was enjoyable. I cant express the shock when the winners where announced and to see my name smack dab on top to boot! I have been unemployed for almost 2 and a half years and there was no way I would be able to buy the DLC for quite some time, maybe as a Christmas gift to myself, and even then most likely not. The wikia community gave me the best gift I could have hoped for, better that it happens to be from a bunch of people who love Fallout as much as me.

Thanks again, I hope the other winners are as happy as I am. Thanks to the whole community, your support and dedication to changing and adding information made the contests possible. Everyone here rocks in my book! I'm going to go Deathclaw boxing now. Light armor, one medX, one slasher, Golden Gloves, one rebound and a super stimpack. Only normal diff. with hardcore on. For even more fun Legendary Deathclaw or Quarry Junction's Alpha. My unarmed is 23, level 32. I die lots. Hyattsminion 05:49, September 29, 2011 (UTC)

Time bomb.
Hello GhostAvatar,

Just wanted to bring the time bomb to your attention. I cleaned up and formatted the page as best I could, but you might want to take a look.

The page currently covers both the standard time bomb and the high-yield variant from GRA. So either it needs a second infobox, or splitting into two pages. I don't think there's enough of a difference to warrant a second page.

Maybe it'll do until all the GRA info is processed? Any advice appreciated. All the best, --FourWayDiablo(talk) 15:00, September 29, 2011 (UTC)
 * Fair enough :-). I went ahead and made the page, but I don't have GECK access so the infobox is incomplete for now. Thanks, --FourWayDiablo(talk) 13:37, September 30, 2011 (UTC)

Didn't mean to sound like I was piling work on you :-D. All your effort is very much appreciated. All the best, --FourWayDiablo(talk) 13:43, September 30, 2011 (UTC)

Shishkebab
Hi Ghost ;)

As promise, it's done for the regular shishkebab (even if the infobox bug and doesn't show the image properly, it is there):
 * Shishkebab (Fallout 3)
 * Shishkebab (Fallout: New Vegas)

I will take care of Gehenna later in the day. Itachou [~talk~] 16:21, September 29, 2011 (UTC)

Critical Damage on Weapon Page's
Now that there are three perks that can directly effect critical damage. Better Criticals, Lucky to be Alive and Elijah's Ramblings. Maybe its time for them to be included in the weapon stastics. The thing is I have no clue how to accomplish that. I presume the temlates would need more coding. Any thoughts on doing this? --LordVukodlak 16:31, September 29, 2011 (UTC)

thanks
just thought you'd appreciate a "thank you" for all the work you've been doing for the GRA DLC, the pictures are great! (although some aren't loading properly, not sure if thats something wrong with my internet or the server or what) but thanks! --Katikar 21:06, September 29, 2011 (UTC)

Bozar
Hi, about the Bozar. Great Mara told me to talk to you about Bozar, I believe it should be under the LMG just like the Police pistol is under the .357 magnum since they seem to have similar similarities. What's your opinion on that?Comedian1988 23:46, September 29, 2011 (UTC)


 * Just checked and the Bozar can be repaired (without Jury Rigging) by an LMG, just like Lucky can be repaired by a .357 magnum. Also in G.E.C.K. it's ID is NVDLC05WeapNVLightMachineGunUnique. Aren't these hints that Bozar is a unique LMG? Comedian1988 23:46, September 29, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hey Ghost, you seem absent from chat, but according to JE Sawyer the Bozar is a unique LMG. http://www.formspring.me/JESawyer/q/232062538789951841 BILLYOCEAN Wanna talk? 23:50, September 29, 2011 (UTC)

Gun Runners' Arsenal
Hi Ghost ;)!

For the system of Gun Runners' Arsenal, I think write fully "Gun Runners' Arsenal" is better than just "GRA". Acronym it's not direct and people doesn't know exactly the name of all DLC, what the acronym mean and if it's a DLC for FO3 and FNV can have problem with this type of naming. Itachou [~talk~] 13:39, September 30, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yeah I saw, it's more a way to differentiate them to the original game, actually they will don't write Gun Runners' Arsenal fully because it's take too much place. And I saw for mods, all have both their name without and with Gun Runners' Arsenal. On my opinion, because of that (the DLC), we have now a pretty strange format naming. He should have put GRA before the name and not after in brackets, as these weapons are not the same and sometimes are a little different (like the laser pistol with a new sound). Well, we don't redo the world =).


 * Ho also for Caesar and the Master, even if they are named like that in-game, in the universe they took a new name for themselves and a new personality, Richard Grey and Edward Sallow doesn't exist anymore. Itachou [~talk~] 14:05, September 30, 2011 (UTC)

I'm agree =). Hope in the future, they avoid to use that type of naming, it's ok for one but for two or three, this will cause us problems. Also, I re-uploaded the image for Shishkebab (Fallout 3) and Gehenna (GRA), you can take a look if you want ;). Itachou [~talk~] 14:18, September 30, 2011 (UTC)

Bozar
I agree but actually, I just used the same sentence of the plasma caster page, both are pretty good weapons for a specific character in their respective way. So the plasma caster should be rewrited too, I think you are agree with that ;) (and I think this phrase was before all add-ons, but I'm not sure, making it quite obsolete now). Itachou [~talk~] 15:02, September 30, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yes, I agree to write at least "very valuable weapons to a character skilled in" or "it is a powerful weapon" but that's all, after I think we're enter in a strategy way. Just powerful remains neutral, and for me mean "makes a lot of damage without perks or personal stats, and can kill a lot of standard enemies in a relatively correct time, no matter how he manages to do - critical hit, VATS or normal way". Anyway, we can notes its attributes (low AP, high DPS etc.) but only in a short way, details after are influenced by personal interpretations. Itachou [~talk~] 15:30, September 30, 2011 (UTC)

(GRA)
May I ask why you added '(GRA)' to everything in Gun Runner's Arsenal. Non-unique variants seems OK to do siunce it denotes it's different from the vanilla FNV, but why do unique weapons introduced with GRA, like the Smitty Special and Medicine Stick need the (GRA) after them? For example, we wouldn't say "Metal Blaster (The Pitt)", so why are we doing things like "Nuka Breaker (GRA)"? --Kastera (talk) 21:48, September 30, 2011 (UTC)
 * Ah; maybe I should should get the add-on first before making accusations. Sorry. --Kastera (talk) 21:54, September 30, 2011 (UTC)


 * I've been wondering about that too. Although it's listed in the GECK, GRA looks like an unnecessary addition to weapons such as the Nuka Breaker, Esther and Medicine Stick. But ok if you think it's best. How should those weapons be called outside the page its name (in notes/infobox name), like for example the Anti-materiel rifle (GRA). Anti-materiel-rifle (GRA) or GRA anti-materiel rifle? Jspoel Speech Jspoel.png 22:10, September 30, 2011 (UTC)
 * Also, what do you think of these names: User:Jesus-Condom and User:LoneWankerer. I'm in favor of blocking. Jspoel Speech Jspoel.png 22:17, September 30, 2011 (UTC)
 * No, I'm afraid not.Why do you ask? Are you going to force me to change it back, or are you considering doind the same ;)? I made it my homepage instead :) TheGuardianCalligraphy.pngGuardianoftheWastesTag.png
 * Oh right :). Well, have you seen the box I added to my Talk? you could adapt that... Also, I asked Scar to help me test the full stop thing for urgent messages, and that works perfectly too. TheGuardianCalligraphy.pngGuardianoftheWastesTag.png

Alright, so I went to the Tunneler page and edited and revised the Gameplay Attributes section. Tell, me what you think about it. I tested all of the weapons out before I did it so it's accurate. Tell me what you think. Sincerely, --Tim to the Adams 04:20, October 1, 2011 (UTC)

item splitting
Hey Avatar. Today I've split some consumable item pages. Most of them had a enough difference to warrant a split, but for some I'm unsure of how and what. Like Buffout, Wine and Rad-X. Buffout is currently named (Fallout 3) for Fallout 3 as well as for the New Vegas version. I'd like to make a seperate page for New Vegas. Looks to me like wine also warrants a split (dehydration, hardcore mode, uses in New Vegas which are not in FO3) and Rad-X would be similar to Stimpak I think.

Now I've given stimpak some thought and think that although the FO3 and New Vegas version appearantly don't have enough difference for a split, it should be one. The name is becoming long and in a future game the name may get even longer. That why I suggest splitting them in Stimpak (Fallout 3) and Stimpak (Fallout: New Vegas). Then Rad-X doesn't need to be renamed Rad-X (Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas either but can have a page for each game.

And what you think of adding the skill on a weapon page on the introduction line (like Plasma rifle is a weapon... or Plasma rifle is an Energy Weapons skill weapon). What is your preference? Jspoel  21:09, October 3, 2011 (UTC)
 * So that would mean that Stimpak (Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas) be renamed to Stimpak (Fallout 3) and Stimpak (Fallout: New Vegas) be a redirect to it (why hasn't that been done yet then?), similar to (Fallout 2) pages redirecting to (Fallout) pages. Disadvantage of that is that the New Vegas version won't show up when entering it in the search box. But I like it better than the whole (Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas) part. Anyway, I think we can split the Stimpak FO3 FNV page, because there's enough difference (effects, uses, value). I'll leave the Buffout page like it is then (looks like the Rad-X will become a similar to the Buffout pages).

can u plz unblock the mecanist because I can't chat with any1 because of another dudes account spamed the chat that I was on. can u just block gardengnom3 and not me. this would very appretiated.

Infobox song
I'd agree with your idea to have the header link to the soundtrack pages and list the radio stations in a normal row. Otherwise it looks good to me :) -- Porter21 (talk) 11:32, October 4, 2011 (UTC)

Stimpak
I'll take the stimpak split under my wing then. What you think about wine? I think that should be split too. (Old World Gourmet, dehydration, uses in Vegas that's not in FO3). Have you noticed something about the achievements btw? The mouse-over isn't working anymore and worse, the Lucky Badge is gone (godd@#$%, just kidding). And it looks like there will be a drought in editing for the time to come I'm afraid. Was a quiet day, all DLC's have now been released... Jspoel  19:46, October 4, 2011 (UTC)

Abb(link)
Following up on this topic, I've now modified abblink to use the new "link" mode of abb according to my description (i.e. use "link" mode for links to game pages and "default" mode for creating overview page links). Seems to be working fine so far; please let me know if you spot any issues.

In addition, I think I'll further modify abb, icon and games so we don't have to effectively enter the link name twice in abb; the less chances for creating mismatches, the better I guess. -- Porter21 (talk) 09:56, October 6, 2011 (UTC)

M4 carbine is the Marksman carbine?
Hi Ghost ;)!

Well I found something interesting. In the description of the M16A1 of Fallout Tactics, it is mentioned that "The M16A1 was the chief rifle used by the United States Marines during the start of the 21st century, and was later to be replaced by the M4 carbine. Composed of durable aluminum alloy and hearty plastic."

Under the specific M4 carbine designation, no weapon appeared but anyway it still exist in the Fallout universe since it is mentioned.

When I arrived on the M4 carbine page on Wikipedia, I saw that the M4 carbine has exactly the same design as the Marksman carbine and fires the same caliber.

So I really think that the Marksman carbine is the M4 carbine, based on the Fallout Tactics description mentioning the existence of this weapon and both have the same design (and all Fallout real-world weapon have always the same design of their real-world counterpart). What do you think? It would be good for the coherence of the Fallout universe. Itachou [~talk~] 16:51, October 6, 2011 (UTC)


 * Never mind, the description written on The Vault was false actually and the M4 is not mentioned, I just check in-game =). Itachou [~talk~] 18:39, October 6, 2011 (UTC)

Tunneler Thanks and no problem.

That was a bit odd...
Well, thanks. Also, it says I can't join chat. Is this intentional or a mistake? And that Tunneler thing glitched up on me a bit so it didn't publish my whole message. Sincerely, Tim to the Adams 19:56, October 6, 2011 (UTC)

Sleepytyme (GRA)
I noticed the article title and was wondering why the (GRA) part was in it since I see no mention of it in other games. For example, the Automatic Rifle and Survivalist's Rifle don't have the Dead Money or Honest Hearts DLC in parenthesis after them. Message 20:06, October 6, 2011 (UTC)

Alright, just making sure, thanks. Sincerely, Tim to the Adams 20:17, October 6, 2011 (UTC)

Alright. Thank you. On a more pressing note however, I just noticed User:Dawienerman vandalizing the Daniel Littlehorn page. He removed a BTS reference and placed a link to a shock site in the Appearances section, which may also corrupt computers based on what I'm reading about it online.

Archived talkpages
(the function used by that template) is not a standard MediaWiki parser function. I'd guess they're using mw:Extension:DynamicPageList2 or some derivative of it to achieve that, and that extension I'd rather do without as it potentially allows users to do bad things to the server in terms of load etc. -- Porter21 (talk) 15:24, October 7, 2011 (UTC)


 * That only works if you only want to check whether a page exists at the time when you save the page with the template. Later updates (such as adding a new archive) would not trigger a link to appear. Basically it's like taking a "screenshot" of the template's result at the time of saving the page (hope that's somewhat understandable).


 * I.e. for this to have any effect, people would have to always use  (rather than just transclude the template). Then, when they've added a new archive, they'd have to clear out all the raw template code which ended up on the talk page when they saved previously (the effect of  ) and do the   thing again. Using   isn't any different as it's basically the same as   (  just makes it easier to create templates which are both transcludable and substitutable; otherwise it has the same functionality). -- Porter21 (talk) 20:19, October 8, 2011 (UTC)

Hairdresser
Hi Ghost. I didn't know who to ask about this, but regarding these interaction overview templates:

I was wondering if under services, should their be a Hairdresser option for people who can change your hair? Also, would this mean there would have to be a change to the existing template? Anyway, just a thought I had. I'd like to hear your feedback because I think it would be a reasonable addition. Thanks. 05:59, October 8, 2011 (UTC)

Red Links in Van Buren articles
I'm gonna need an explanation on that one. Van Buren will probably not going to get any sort of new source material much less for anything as specific as a heart bomb implanted in a character or whatever that 4th whatever mentioned-only battalion of NCR combat engineer sappers.

Ghosttro1
As you may already know, about 4 months ago Trolly Polly had an account named Ghosttro1 who was banned shortly after. Anyway, the thing is his talk page is basically insulting the administrators (such as Get used to me being a thorn in this site's balls for a long time to come or Shitty and piss poor handling there). I would have blanked the talk page myself, but I thought I should let an administrator/bureaucrat deal with it. 01:43, October 9, 2011 (UTC)

Chatbanned
Sorry if this is the improper way to contact you but I know of no other way.May i please get an unbannned from chat? I will not likely go into there very often for obvious reasons but would like the option to if I need to. I am not a troll, but a fan of Fallout 3 who dislikes the large amount of bashing that it receives on this wiki. Also, a large number of people who visit this wiki were likely introduced to the Fallout series by Fallout 3. By embracing the bias against it and its fans, this wiki is keeping a large number of people, myself included, from being further involved in it. Not trying to be a jerk I'm just letting you know how I feel. CrazyFerret

Infobox add-on
For some reason Chrome calculates the width of the cell as 61px, whereas Firefox calculates it as 62.167px. Indeed looks like a box model issue or at least a difference in how the browsers translate percentages to absolute widths. Don't think there's anything I can do about that; we could simply put "PS3" (or icons) in there though. -- Porter21 (talk) 21:30, October 9, 2011 (UTC)

Infobox game
I'm making all infobox parameters consistently lowercase - there are only a few infoboxes which were set up to support both capped and de-capped parameters, and it's easier to memorize/maintain if all parameters are always lowercase.

Reverted edit on SMC terminal entries page
I noticed you reverted an edit of an anonymous user (83.84.191.194) on the SMC terminal entries page. That was me, on another tab, not-logged in. Thought I'd let you know, before you block him for removing content. Then I will have a problem :/ But it won't come to that right, because you already reverted it again. That terminal entry is now on the ES terminal entries page. I'm thinking about merging it with the SMC terminal entries page btw. Jspoel  21:57, October 10, 2011 (UTC)

I saw the reason of ED-E, but what of other pages there will be created? 109.60.97.196 20:54, October 13, 2011 (UTC) I did some research (as you can see it), but I see that some pages that user named AlmightyHiggey is making the pages with a bit of content. Maybe we need time to add info? 109.60.97.196 13:30, October 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * That's why the contributors are here for - adding new info (even if it is cut). 109.60.97.196 21:00, October 13, 2011 (UTC)
 * I guess so. Could you, perhaps, add the cut content? 109.60.97.196 21:05, October 13, 2011 (UTC)

The problem is that the page you linked me only has base-id of other weapons. There are notes, of course, but the weapons seem diffirent (but they aren't, as you explained). 109.60.97.196 15:18, October 14, 2011 (UTC)

Please fix your initial set up so that when I am creating my profile I am not fooled into creating useless pages.. ;)

I only say look at the notes of Mobius's page. 109.60.97.196 20:55, October 14, 2011 (UTC)

Which indicates that note under Mobius's page is false, then? 109.60.97.196 21:02, October 14, 2011 (UTC)

I placed a comment for you to see it, but I will copy the exact words: Dr. Mobius has significantly more health than the other Think Tank members. He also becomes stronger as the player's level increases, increasing in Strength every 10 player levels. The only other Think Tank member that also increases in power with the player's level is Dr. Klein. 109.60.97.196 21:07, October 14, 2011 (UTC)

I can only say that you don't know about other pages of the Vault with the same problem... 109.60.97.196 21:15, October 14, 2011 (UTC)

The guy who did the edits made some work. It would be a devastation if the content would be removed, as the SPECIAL stats are changing (similar to Mobius and Klein). They are (some) Fallout 2 companions (not the page, but the companions themselves, like Cassidy or Goris). 109.60.97.196 21:23, October 14, 2011 (UTC)

How do you mean the SPECIAL stats aren't changing? Strength depends on the Courier's level, so it changes, in my opinion (similar to Fallout 2 companions, but not the same). 109.60.97.196 21:36, October 14, 2011 (UTC)

Mr. House
Can you unlock the Robert House's page? There is info that needs to be put. 94.253.172.88 11:11, October 15, 2011 (UTC)

Let' say I cannot make an accout (I'd rather not talk about it). Still, the Mr. House's page can be unlocked for tempoary because I'm sure there would be complications, like placing a link not where it should be. 94.253.172.88 13:09, October 15, 2011 (UTC)

I know how to, but I cannot. I don't know if I can tell you my true reason why I cannot - that can cause (with high possibilty) a punishment. 94.253.172.88 13:27, October 15, 2011 (UTC)

Lead section information.
Hi GhostAvatar,

Should weapon page Lead sections include a link to the relevant skill, even though this is noted in the infobox? There's no uniformity at present, so I wanted to check which way to edit in future.

Also, in the infobox should the "skill" link under "Requirements and perks" go to the overview page or be game specific?

Thanks, -- FourWayDiablo (talk) 16:31, October 15, 2011 (UTC)


 * Lead sections: Yeah, that's what I thought. Didn't want to start changing them without checking. I expect a few reverts, as it seems some editors don't like reading the summaries before changing things.


 * Skills: I chimed in on the forum discussion. :-) Probably best to leave the link, then, until an overall decision is made.


 * All the best, -- FourWayDiablo (talk) 16:44, October 15, 2011 (UTC)

Infobox creature
I'm currently converting Infobox creature and could use your input.

Perks
Having to do with the perks that Anon 174.119.172.181 has been adding to pages. I'm not entirely sure that they're correct, from what I understand the DLCs don't interact with each other and they're adding Eye for Eye and Hot Blooded to GRA weapons when they're perks from Honest Hearts and Old World Blues. I'm not eve sure about addin gthem to normal weapons since I don't know anyone that would regularly walk around with crippled limbs or low health. Message 05:06, October 17, 2011 (UTC)
 * A few more questions from looking over energy weapons. Are the Sonic Emitters actually affected by the Laser Commander perk like that page says? Also noticing Honest Hearts, Old World Blues, and Gun Runners Arsenal weapons showing being affected by the Lonesome Road and Thought Youd Died perks. I thought the DLCs didn't interact. And finally, wouldn't Lonesome Road be considered a conditional perk? Sorry for the whole string of questions. UserGreatMara.pngge 09:20, October 20, 2011 (UTC)
 * Alright, I just found it confusing since I came across some pages with skipped numbers or numbers out of order. Also, for my personal calculations, do damage perks also affect the Critical Damage or just the Base Damage? UserGreatMara.pngge 21:10, October 20, 2011 (UTC)

World object template
The "@original" setting for  circumvents the limit; the MediaWiki software provides no means of retrieving the original image size unfortunately (otherwise the whole "@original" mechanic wouldn't be needed at all). I set up that infobox to automatically use "@original" if  contains one of the older games, which is why the image wasn't resized (because "FO2" had been specified). -- Porter21 (talk) 10:40, October 18, 2011 (UTC)


 * Been thinking about this a bit, and I think I'll ask Wikia to enable an extension which allows us to retrieve the original image size. Then I could get rid of the whole "@original" thing entirely.


 * By the way, I've also been considering to change the default display for multiple images so it uses a "grid-like" appearance (and add an option to the infobox to have the images displayed in one row, i.e. the current default). E.g. if you use 4 images, rather than having the infobox display them side-by-side with 62.5px (250/4) width and 250px height each, the images would be displayed in 2 rows with 125px width and 125px height each. I think horizontal images are used more often than vertical ones in infoboxes, and setting it up like a grid makes better use of the available space in this case. For infoboxes with vertical images (e.g. Infobox armor gamebryo) we could then use the option to restore the current default. Thoughts? -- Porter21 (talk) 12:51, October 18, 2011 (UTC)

Liberty Prime sound files
Probably you noticed some LP sound files in the unused files cat. I removed them from my sandbox yesterday. I don't need them, but when I remove them, they show up as unused which in fact is wrong because they're being used on the LP page.

If yes, I'm happy to reformat all the other pages. If no, I at least learned something about templates. All the best, -- FourWayDiablo (talk) 21:14, October 19, 2011 (UTC)
 * Is there a benefit to transcluding rather than making new tables? I tried to be comprehensive and added details (such as required add-ons, companions) that may be out of place in a different format. Right now, I'm just trying to tidy up, really. Crafting info can be found in "Characteristics" or "Locations" on some pages, so making a separate section seemed most logical. And the energy ammo pages are where you explained transcluding to me. :-) Am I that forgettable? [sobs] -- FourWayDiablo (talk) 21:42, October 19, 2011 (UTC)

That makes sense about transclusion. My only objection to it is that it makes pages look like they are for editors, not readers, if you see what I mean. Characteristics is the only required field of the two, so it could go in that, and before Variants if that's not too clunky. I don't mind that at all, I was just noting that some pages are messy right now. Ammo could be a pain. Each type (AP, HP, etc.) with it's own crafting table, or a single comprehensive table? That's assuming it needs changing; I was focusing more on item recipes when I started. -- FourWayDiablo (talk) 22:36, October 19, 2011 (UTC)

Redirecting images
Personally, I'm not too fond about image redirects. Just renaming the weapon image and then change the image parameter line accordingly on the page is hardly any more work.

Fruit page
Hey, that was a nice idea to merge the fresh fruits with the fruit page. Got me thinking of similar overview page merges, like dirty and purified water and some alcoholic drinks, like vodka, whiskey and beer.
 * Now I see we have overview pages for them, Water and Alcohol. They could do with a bit of a rehaul though.
 * I've done Water. I think we can convert Alcohol also to an overview page, similar to water.
 * And we can also use it a bit more on the armor and clothing pages, like on Scientist outfit. Btw, congratulations on your year membership (sorry a day late). You and I have made quite an impact on this wiki the past year, haven't we? Done some math, together we're responsible for about 10% of the total edits I think (80,000 vs about 800,000 edits in total).

Table width.
Thanks for the info about the tables. Is there a work around, other than padding out the Characteristics section to force the table down the page? It seems to happen on some pages and not others. I just altered the names in the Fat Man (GRA) table to shorten it the same as Fat Man (Fallout: New Vegas), but no joy. -- FourWayDiablo (talk) 20:21, October 22, 2011 (UTC) I see. Hiding the table seems bad. If there's going to be a space caused by this anyway, would it be possible/better to leave an actual space on pages, so that at least the Comparison title is directly above the table? Or would that cause further problems? -- FourWayDiablo (talk) 20:40, October 22, 2011 (UTC)

Whats a CSS and/or IE issue?--Ant2242 21:45, October 22, 2011 (UTC)


 * It's not the "clear: left;" that "fixes" it - it's the absense of "clear: right;". And the "clear: right;" is necessary because otherwise other right-floated elements (like another infobox or a thumbnail) appear next to the infobox rather than below it. Just check Escape! and you'll see what I mean.
 * The issue isn't infobox- or quotation-specific either; IE7 and IE8 in "quirks" mode do this for all right-floated elements which have "clear: right;" set. It's just more noticable with the quotations because they contain another block-level element. If you check e.g. [wikia:fallout:User_blog:Ausir/Fallout_tidbits_2011-03] you'll see that the first line of text appears above the floated "tidbits" box although the box is defined first. -- Porter21 (talk) 22:31, October 22, 2011 (UTC)


 * I've tracked it down - it's caused by the unholy alliance of Wikia skin and IE, more precisely by Wikia's ads and IE7's rendering of floats. There's a div with the class "home-top-right-ads" inserted at the top of #WikiaArticle (before any other elements) which is floated right. It's empty (and hence proper browsers are ignoring it), but in IE7 it's treated as if it's there when the position of the floats are calculated. I.e. if following elements have "clear: right" set, the float of the ad div is cleared and following elements are moved downwards by the height of that empty div (which IE7 calculates as equal to the line-height of 23px). But when the text (and the other non-float elements) are filled in, IE then treats the div as not being there, which in turn leads to the overlap/"text appearing above float" issues. -- Porter21 (talk) 23:08, October 22, 2011 (UTC)


 * Well, a while back I fixed another bug relating to ads via CSS (after I had reported it multiple times and was ignored), and eventually some staff member deleted the fix with the comment "do not modify the ads" (all I did was reduce the min-height which had no adverse effects). I guess that answers your question :) -- Porter21 (talk) 07:48, October 23, 2011 (UTC)

 * Yeah, probably better to discuss this after the conversion is done. To be honest, if we are going to add weapon mods I'd favour moving all the perk/mod stuff out of the infobox and into a template in article text. To avoid duplication of the GECK values, we could make the separate template use the values entered in the infobox (possible thanks to Variables extension). -- Porter21 (talk) 23:31, October 23, 2011 (UTC)

I see. Has become a rather nice page, hasn't it. I now see some FNV alcohol items like tequila and a few above that still need to be added.

 * Another thing on my mind. Garoux just removed some speculation on the Festus (Fallout: New Vegas) page, probably good because it's not confirmed or on the cultural ref page. Sometimes I find it kind of a shame to see behind the scenes contributions go, like in this case. It's a pretty obvious link I think. What do you think?

I was pondering what value would make a good default setting for that infobox, but then got distracted and completely forgot about it. Making it user-customizable is fine, but I think we can safely set the default to "@outside" for that infobox anyway. By the way, I'll make some adjustments so the offset is applied below the image as well - I find only moving the image down gives a somewhat unbalanced look. -- Porter21 (talk) 12:57, October 25, 2011 (UTC)


 * Sorry, didn't notice your reply to this topic until now. You might be right; I'll play around with it a bit tomorrow and see which ratio of upper to lower offset looks best. I'm planning to introduce a min-height of ~100px for the main image area either way - I think that alone will probably nullify a ton of icon overlap issues (and look better on classics pages). -- Porter21 (talk) 16:51, October 28, 2011 (UTC)

Bots
Hi GA :)

I was considering making a bot on the FA to help me with a task I've been putting off for quite sometime, but I don't know how to do that. Is there anyway that you would do one for me for now until I learn coding? Maybe as a birthday present ;). 16:24, October 25, 2011 (UTC)


 * I need to, in short, get the number of pages right down on Fallout Answers. The way I was thinking of doing that is by making one fixed answer to the questions that are asked more than once, then redirecting all the others. What I wanted a bot for was to pick up key proper nouns, such as Tandi, and then categorise them depending in that key part of the name. I think it would be best to program these in personally, so you might need to tell me how later, as it would stop it picking up random capitalisations etc. What do you think, can it be done?And should/can I set up a bot account; GuardianBot or something? I really appreciate your help Ghost, it's very kind of you :). TheGuardianCalligraphy.pngGuardianoftheWastesTag.png 20:06, October 26, 2011 (UTC)

Infobox item parameters
Currently pondering how to re-organize some parameters of Infobox item (and by extension Infobox consumable and Infobox world object since they share the parameters in question), particularly the "uses"-related ones. I think  and   are not descriptive of what they should contain, which shows in the inconsistent usage across pages (e.g. if an item is a component it'll often be listed in "used for" rather than "used in" which was meant for that).

I'd replace them with,   and   (the label for the latter would be "used as"); for world objects,   could remain I guess. Additionally I'd introduce a parameter specifically for weapon mods ( or something like that). What do you think? -- Porter21 (talk) 17:39, October 25, 2011 (UTC)


 * I've gone ahead with it; only changed the name a little bit ( rather than  ). I've opted not to add the   parameter since it's basically the same as   and it seems confusing to have two parameters which are so similar (we'd likely get people not knowing when to use ingredient and when to use component). -- Porter21 (talk) 16:51, October 28, 2011 (UTC)

Nemerian hasn't replied to my message, and I wanted some other opinions about it. So thanks for that. -- FourWayDiablo (talk) 20:29, October 26, 2011 (UTC)

Account up and running
Right so I've downloaded the software, and I have also created the bot account User:GuardianBot. Now all I need is to do is wait for it to be flagged, and for you to do the coding, right? 21:01, October 26, 2011 (UTC)


 * Okay then GA :) Thanks again TheGuardianCalligraphy.pngGuardianoftheWastesTag.png 21:10, October 26, 2011 (UTC)

There might be something wrong...?
with Ranger Station Charlie audio log. When I looked it up the ref.box was oversized. Is it internet explorer or the wiki?--Ant2242 19:32, October 27, 2011 (UTC)

Dispute
I'd appreciate you looking at Tagaziel's and my own recent talk page exchanges. They revolve around blog comment deletions, and I believe we need a third party to weigh in. It's devolved to I'm right/no, I'm right. Thanks.--Gothemasticator 20:07, October 27, 2011 (UTC)

Bot
It's been flagged :). Can we get it up an running by tomorrow? And also, I thought of another useful function whilst I'd be on there: detecting the spamming questions and deleting them on the spot :). 20:56, October 27, 2011 (UTC)

Comment deletion
Fair points. However, consider the fact that there is a greater population of pro-Fallout 3 users here, than there is of pro-classics users. As an underrepresented minority, certain benefits must be given to representatives of the latter option, as otherwhise, under the guise of "fairness", you are empowering the majority and disenfranchising the minority. Yes, I'm snide and tend to be sardonic in my comments, but at the same time, I'm one person with a limited number of like-minded compatriots, pitted against tens of users who do not share my opinion and cry abuse/discrimination/persecution whenever I voice it in a more or less sarcastic way. If there's one thing five years of studying law taught me, it's that fairness does not mean perfect equality. http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/fallout/images/0/08/Personal_Sig_Image.gif Tagaziel (call!) 23:08, October 27, 2011 (UTC)
 * Not more rights. More leeway. Yes, I do sometimes post a very snide comment like the one you're apparently very much annoyed by. But I compensate that with a battery of thought of, long replies explaining my reasoning in detail. You would have a point if all I ever posted was sarcastic jabs, but since I don't do that, your point falls flat on its face. http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/fallout/images/0/08/Personal_Sig_Image.gif Tagaziel (call!) 19:41, October 28, 2011 (UTC)

Super mutant files
Hey Avatar. Just to inform you, your bot messed up the Vault 87 super mutant page, redlinking some images. I have restored the page. Jspoel  14:21, October 28, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks!
Thanks for saving my userpage. :) I should have protected it long time ago. Thanks again. veryblackraven 10:38, October 29, 2011 (UTC)

Yakov Frolov's ban
I've lifted the ban you hit Yakov with. No concrete proof was presented for him engaging in sockpuppetry, other than a conspicuous account that might as well have been made to incriminate him and get him banned permanently. Furthermore, I've reminded him about the Vault's rules and only lifted the ban once he gave me a guarantee of good behaviour. If he misbehaves, I'll be the one to bar him from The Vault again. http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/fallout/images/0/08/Personal_Sig_Image.gif Tagaziel (call!) 12:59, October 30, 2011 (UTC)
 * You have no proof that the sockpuppet actually belonged to Yakov, outside a rather suspicious account and statement in chat. I have studied the log you've attached and nothing conclusively proves that it was Yakov who made the account. Since it could've been another user who impersonated Yakov in order to get him permabanned for sockpuppetry, the charge remains unproven. As such, I've reversed the block imposed on Frolov, again. I'd advise you to consult a Wikia staff member with the ability to look up IP addresses used by users to confirm or deny that TheFrolov's and YakovFrolov's IP both come from Perm, Russia (or a similiar locale). Without concrete proof you're just persecuting a user. http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/fallout/images/0/08/Personal_Sig_Image.gif Tagaziel (call!) 18:21, October 30, 2011 (UTC)
 * All I'm asking. In fact, I only lifted the ban once he promised to me that he'll behave. To my knowledge, he respects me. http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/fallout/images/0/08/Personal_Sig_Image.gif Tagaziel (call!) 19:08, October 30, 2011 (UTC)

Light Touch
I am reverting the Light Touch page because, as the page says, the 5% is added to the critical score AFTER the multiplier is put into effect. An example would use the minigun with luck 8. * luck = 8% chance and the miniguns crit multiplier per bullet per second, .02X8%= .16% chance per bullet. then Add 5% thanks to light touch. Read the page for more info, I just added the note to show how it could be used. the perk makes the miniguns chance of scoring a critical hit per bullet equate to this - (.02 X 8%) + 5% = 5.16 percent. I checked the figues.

My bad, didn't realise that what i typed fell into strategies.

What was that all about. Did they not believe you? 19:39, October 30, 2011 (UTC)

Infobox weapon gamebryo
Finally got around to converting the gamebryo weapon template (User:Porter21/sandbox3). I've tried to make it as compact as I could - let me know what you think. I'd also appreciate it if you could take a look whether I broke anything; I have fixed the errors I've noticed but there might still be some. Examples can be found at User:Porter21/sandbox4. -- Porter21 (talk) 18:30, November 1, 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks. I'm still considering moving the "perks" section to the bottom of the infobox; I think that would look a bit better (there wouldn't be two headers next to each other anymore). -- Porter21 (talk) 19:05, November 1, 2011 (UTC)


 * If you think attacks/sec is useful info for grenades, I'm fine with adding it (presumably for mines as well?). Regarding item HP, I'm not sure that moving baseid up would be a good idea; with ID it becomes slightly too wide and there are probably a couple of pages which are listing multiple IDs (if you look at my sandbox, the 10mm pistol infobox lists more than one; I simply copied it from 10mm pistol (Fallout: New Vegas)). I'd just leave it where it is; I don't think it's that bad (plus there's also the full-width "quests" row which optionally appears below it).
 * Adding a parameter for Jury Rigging sounds like a good idea; any idea on how to set it apart from the normal repair options? I don't really like the icon which is used currently as it throws off the line height and is pretty much indiscernable. I guess it's either going to be some kind of division in the current "repair" field or creating a separate field altogether. Whatever we decide we'll have to remember to add it to Infobox armor gamebryo as well for consistency. -- Porter21 (talk) 19:49, November 1, 2011 (UTC)


 * Added  parameter to User:Porter21/sandbox3. Simplistic approach; displays a slight grey background with a tooltip. Also enabled   for grenades/mines. -- Porter21 (talk) 22:10, November 1, 2011 (UTC)


 * Is there always only one Jury Rigging repair option? I like your approach more than my current one, but I guess we'll have to continue this after my absence. -- Porter21 (talk) 23:00, November 1, 2011 (UTC)

Character builds
I am remaking the info boxes on the character builds page. I was just wondering how to get it to say the name of each character instead of the page name and if there is any way to go back to that green background for the images. Marcus is a boi 22:27, November 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks. That really sucks about the white background for images... Marcus is a boi 22:37, November 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * That new section is up. Check it out. Marcus is a boi 00:29, November 2, 2011 (UTC)

Yakov
The reason for his permablock is "Chat violation: Spamming in chat after warning, last chance". Shouldn't this mean he gets a permaban from Vault Chat, instead of a block from The Vault in its entirety? --Kastera (talk) 01:48, November 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * Well, he brought it on himself then. It's his won choice I guess. --Kastera (talk) 17:14, November 2, 2011 (UTC)

Why was i banned?--Brad h. 23:27, November 2, 2011 (UTC)

User:Hunter Jones
I blocked this user on November 1 on grounds of achievement boosting. He then replied on his talk page saying it was his brother that was messing around, because it seemed out of the ordinary that he'd edit anything other than his user page. So I was lenient and removed the three day ban on November 2. The 'BLOCKED' tag on his profile is gone, but he still supposedly cannot edit any page other than his talk page. Do you have an idea as to what the problem could be? --Kastera (talk) 13:38, November 3, 2011 (UTC)

Im not sure if it was you or Kastera but thanks for getting me out. :^)
