Archiving[]

Something went wrong with your archiving. I took care of it for you manually. Jspoel 21:39, June 10, 2017 (UTC)

Complaint[]

You have no right to remove that page and I did nothing wrong since my ideas could lead to Fallout being set in other countries Falloutplayer112

New Language Button[]

Ouch. Looks like the new update basically removed your hard work on that language portal button. Are you going to be making a new version compatible with the new site, assuming it's still possible? NomadMC (talk) 02:53, June 14, 2017 (UTC)

Leave it as it is in my opinion, we don't need the flags next to it. The language links are now topside, which is already a more prominent place.Jspoel 07:52, June 14, 2017 (UTC)

South Boston High school[]

Hey Jacki, I see you moved all the exterior pictures from south Boston HS. A couple of them I can understand, such as the ones taken from L street bathhouse, but a fair few of them are part of the locations exterior, seeing as there is a raider camp built on the sites front. I kind of feel like I would be taking the images from the outside of Cambridge police station and putting them elsewhere to move them all. Sakaratte - Talk to the catmin 12:39, June 20, 2017 (UTC)

Its all good, I'd put the Dorchester image in there as a reference more than anything as one of the gates in is on there. It was a pain in the arse to map out with the way the area is laid out, so I used a few extra screenshots for additional referencing. On a seperate note, I have a bot now. Just need to get it authorised. Sakaratte - Talk to the catmin 13:06, June 20, 2017 (UTC)

It should make a few things easier as well, we still have a lot to do and these small edits we have been making have been taking away from that to a degree (especially with how few bodies we have atm). I'm going to ask Gunny to sort out the rights as I need adding to the AWB whitelist as well as given the rights.

Would you be able to re-add File:FO4 SBoston High road east2.png and File:FO4 SBoston High over wall.png back as well? They relate to the central pathway between the raider shacks and can be a little easy to miss. Sakaratte - Talk to the catmin 13:19, June 20, 2017 (UTC)

Quotations[]

The bot is officially up and running now and did it first round of quotations changes last now. All 3 and 4 characters should now be updated to use the |sound= section (there might be a small number that got missed). I'll do a run on NV and then move on to quests tonight. Sakaratte - Talk to the catmin 06:59, June 21, 2017 (UTC)

Comapanions/Underscores[]

I merged the companion dialogues on Nick Valentine's dialogue. Looks better this way I think. I did the same thing with Piper. And you removed all the underscores in the dialogue. It breaks the scene column, but sometimes too much, CIS ChatWithNPC Valentine in Valentine's dialogue is broken 4 times. I'd rather see them stay, orginally extracted they have those underscores. I'm all for reducing the width of that column, but it has to be done manually in my opinion, with one break (an enter). Jspoel 00:28, June 29, 2017 (UTC)

Dialogue extraction[]

I've got the extractor up and running and its now in my onedrive to be downloaded. It has a few kinks in it, but nothing that will slow progress down. Even though there is a little bit of repetitive button pressing, the files are processed in a coupe of minutes. The real time sink in getting the articles up now is splitting the tables out quest group. I imagine I would spend more time working on that problem that I would just doing it manually. Sakaratte - Talk to the catmin 06:29, June 29, 2017 (UTC)

Mainpage Slider[]

I noticed you're away in Chat right now, and I'm pretty busy right now too, so I figured I'd send you a talk page message instead: Where is the background code for the Mainpage Slider located, so I can copy the code and paste it on my page to do some testing of different designs for -Project X-? As of right now all I can see is the basic template, but not where its code resides. NomadMC (talk) 13:11, June 29, 2017 (UTC)

I've created a new design at JB-Fallout Mainpage Slider, using the VT Rep as the temp image. It's designed to fix the fact that we can only have 4 images per slider, and without deleting any; it uses the same concept as the "Did You Know..." section. Basically, I've created four "variants" of the slider that can appear; the first variant is the one we have right now, and the other three variants have the new FO4 Dialogue slide inserted into one of the last three slide slots. (All four variants retain Fallout 4 as the first slider, no matter what.) Like "Did You Know...", it randomly changes each time the website cache is updated. Tell me what you think. NomadMC (talk) 20:16, June 29, 2017 (UTC)

British Accent[]

Seeing as this got changed a couple of times, I decided to go investigate this as a British Accent is very generally term. When I think British Accent, the first thing I ask is "English, Scottish or Welsh".

I decided to Google it and it is an American term for the Received Pronunciation accent used primary in the south east of England. North Americans have a habit of refering to the English as British (I've had it before when in Canada).

Wikipedia itself says there is no British Accent, but at least acknowledges the name.

In short I think we would be best to use the country of origin rather than British as it is horribly open to interpretation and frankly, a very vague term. Sakaratte - Talk to the catmin 21:37, June 30, 2017 (UTC)

Admin talk blog[]

Please see User blog:The Gunny/Admin talk - Discussions moderation for a few site wide changes wikia has made as well as some details on discussions moderating. I will be opening a discussions topic in the next day or so with the intent to better introduce all of our site moderation team to the users there (most of them have no idea who most of us are). When that topic goes live, I will leave another talk page message for you asking that you navigate to the topic to introduce yourself and interact a bit with users there. I feel this is very important and a problem we need to fix. The Gunny   16:41, July 2, 2017 (UTC)

I plan on making that discussions topic tomorrow finally, around noonish my time. I plan on introducing the rest of the admin/mod team who the discussions users don't know very well. I am going to do it in a kinda AMA format, and I'll start by explaining who I am and what I do here. I would really appreciate it if any admins/mods who don't currently spend a lot of time there to chime in. I really feel this is important.  The Gunny   01:30, July 8, 2017 (UTC)

FO4 Dialogue Extraction[]

Hey there, just wanted to apologize for not getting any FO4 dialogues done yet... Had a lot busier weekend than expected, and I haven't been able to find you in Chat since Friday.

I will have some off time today (not sure exactly when or how much, but some) and I'll try to at least putz with the CRK. I downloaded it from the Bethesda Launcher on Saturday, but when I clicked on the application nothing happened, and I haven't had a chance to figure out what's wrong with it till today. Will let you know what happens. Hopefully, I can get it working, but because neither of my PCs can even run FO4 in the first place. (I have FO4 installed, but when you click "Play" on the launcher, it just crashes. Neither PC is even close to the minimum system requirements, which I won't bother trying to fix because it's not possible, short of buying a new graphics card and processor - I'll just buy a newer PC first.) Point being, I don't know if the CRK can launch if your FO4 game can't get farther than the launch screen. Will find out later. NomadMC (talk) 12:38, July 4, 2017 (UTC)

Re: Anne Hargraves[]

No worries, it happens. Xa3 19:01, August 2, 2017 (UTC)

Quotations[]

Yeah, I've just been slightly conflicted about it thinking of overlinking considering the fact that the person is already linked in both the infobox and the quest desc itself. I'll start always doing it. DisgustingWastelander (talk) 23:35, August 2, 2017 (UTC)

Nice to see the audio is going up, I hope the dialogue files are helping with this if you need me to change direction with them at any point so you can keep going let me know.

Also, I found out that off vorbis (.ogg) files don't work on iOS at the community connect this weekend. I've asked about if they will make mp3 available, but they seemed keen not to do that. I'm going to see if I can make a case for it so it may be worth making an mp3 copy with the same name as well just incase. If we get the OK for mp3 we can upload them and Dakiatte can replace the files enmass. Sakaratte - Talk to the catmin 08:11, August 3, 2017 (UTC)

Soft blocks[]

I have raised a forum to discuss adding the option of soft blocks as an alternative to hard blocks and extend the admin toolset for more flexibity in handling minor breaks in rules and guidelines. Can you read through the forum and give your input. Sakaratte - Talk to the catmin 20:42, August 7, 2017 (UTC)

How I started here[]

Something that was mentioned in chat made me think about what made me serious about this place and then I remembered, it was you swapping my picture on the Galleria article. I decided to make it a bit of personal rivally and one thing lead to another.

So in that sense I owe you thanks for getting me started, without realising it. Sakaratte - Talk to the catmin 04:33, September 6, 2017 (UTC)

Wikia's forced addition of videos to the wiki[]

Hello, This is a message to all listed active members of the leadership team, so please accept my apologies if this seems a little impersonal.

As you may be aware, Wikia/Fandom have added a number of videos to pages on the wiki that they have self authored. Although the consensus view so far seems to be that these are not to our standards, I encourage you to view these for yourself and make up your own mind.

You can find a link to all the videos, and a petition I would like you to consider here. If you believe that these videos do not meet our standards, detract from the wiki, and should be removed, I encourage you to vote yes on this petition. You are of course welcome to vote no if you do not believe this is the case.

Thank you for your consideration. Agent c (talk) 21:13, September 7, 2017 (UTC)

Steam[]

Just a heads up - I know your steam profile says you don't accept many friend reqs, but I sent you one just in case. Maintaining contact will be quite important in the coming days, that's for sure. NomadMC (talk) 13:48, September 9, 2017 (UTC)

Illuminations[]

Saw this tonight and the first person I thought of was you. Sakaratte - Talk to the catmin 19:59, September 9, 2017 (UTC)

Game icon[]

You edited Common.css probably for fixing the visibility of the game icons on pages that have a video at the top, but I now see less of that icon instead of more. So that needs to be looked at again. Jspoel 22:06, September 11, 2017 (UTC)

I don't see the Far Harbor game icon on Far Harbor pages. But I guess you have seen that. Jspoel 14:18, September 12, 2017 (UTC)

I just reverted your change to Common.css to how it was back in June, and all the game icons are back again, so it's not Wikia. The ApologyForcedVideo was also a cause for the icon missing, I just checked it with Cait. Jspoel 14:41, September 12, 2017 (UTC)

It seems to be random, sometimes the icon is there, sometimes it's not. And sometimes with a refresh it appears. I'll see if I contact Wikia about it. Jspoel 17:32, September 12, 2017 (UTC)

A comment from kickburn says this >>>Not including a source mode is intended at this point of testing: GUI-driven document creation apps like Word do not provide a source mode - nor do they need one - and we want to see whether this editor can reproduce a similar kind of experience.
>>>If there was a source mode, it would make validating the GUI-first approach much, much harder. Still, it's a topic we're always thinking about as the experiment matures and we add more features.

Settlement objects mod[]

Hey Jack, been a while, hope you're doing well. Have you had any progress on the settlement object mod we've been talking about? I'd love to get some more images uploaded. Best regards, DisgustingWastelander (talk) 19:15, October 1, 2017 (UTC)

Great to hear that you're doing good. It's a shame that you're becoming more inactive, but I fully respect that there are a lot of things that need to be prioritized above the wiki. And I agree fully with what you say about the recent video drama, it's a real shame and very disencouraging. I am also not a fan of big changes, the most ideal for me would be to just stay put right here.

About that white texture mod... If you really think I am capable of creating something like this I might give it a try. Doubt I'll achieve much, but whatever, I guess. ;-)

Anyway, remember that even if you become completely inactive on the wiki, we'll always be ready to welcome you back. DisgustingWastelander (talk) 19:42, October 2, 2017 (UTC)

Patroller to Content Moderator[]

Hello, can you cast your eye over this forum and give your input? Sakaratte - Talk to the catmin 21:14, October 7, 2017 (UTC)

You son of a swede[]

You edit conflicted me on Agatha ;).

Nice to see you have found a burst of inspiration. Did you sort your css issue out on RDR wiki? Sakaratte - Talk to the catmin 07:37, October 17, 2017 (UTC)

From what I understand of mediawiki as a whole, if you put something in wikia.css it will only affect the Wikia skin. This means your users in monobook don't benefit. Common.css applies effects globally to skins, so anything that effects article layout should be there. You might want to take a look at the wiki in monobook and see if you need to duplicate effects to monobook.css as well to ensure consistency, if placing them in common fails to produce a result.

As for VR, that's an interesting thought. I'd love to have a play around and a test get a feel for things. I imagine it will have its own creation kit, but as far as content goes I think we will bind most things to the original game (with the exception of exclusive stuff). If I go the CAR route I want a virtrix Omni and a vive. Expensive kit, but very immersive. Sakaratte - Talk to the catmin 11:40, October 17, 2017 (UTC)

Sierra Madre[]

That was strange, I checked other location pages where that were ok. I made a null edit and now the Sierra Madre page is all good again, at least here. Must have been a temporary glitch. Jspoel 16:14, October 17, 2017 (UTC)

Content Moderator[]

As discussion on Content moderators stalled last month and there was plenty of input, I have now raised a forum with a policy to vote on based upon the comments. When you have a moment, can you take a look at cast your votes? Sakaratte - Talk to the catmin 23:45, November 11, 2017 (UTC)

Notable loot policy[]

But we don’t have a notable loot policy for Fallout 4. Quantum was notable in FO3 for being finite and a quest item. In FNV, it was extremely rare and the chance of getting it was low. Quantum in FO4 doesn’t hold any of these distinctions, even Nuka-Cola Orange is rarer. Great Mara (talk) 15:40, November 14, 2017 (UTC)

Note images[]

How did you remove the HUD from the note images? I can do it too, but I used a texture game file and pasted it over the HUD image. It appears you found a way to remove the HUD. Jspoel 19:45, December 23, 2017 (UTC)

Ok, send me the ATN file then (with some instructions plz), I'll give it a try. Maybe using OneDrive or otherwise I could give you my mail in chat. Jspoel 16:28, December 24, 2017 (UTC)

I've imported it, but it doesn't work. It's giving an error when I'm on Size and Cropping and running it: Setup isn't available at the moment (also next individual lines are giving these kind of errors. And if I click the last one, Save, I can't because the map is wrong. How do I change that? Jspoel 00:34, December 25, 2017 (UTC)

(←)  Here are 3 screens. The first one is when I'm on Size and Cropping and then click on the play button. Second screen is when I click on "Doorgaan" (Continue) from the first screen. Last one is a path error when I just click on "Opslaan" (Save). Jspoel 22:38, December 25, 2017 (UTC)

Thanks, I'll give it try later on today. Now it's off to family diner. Jspoel 14:23, December 26, 2017 (UTC)

Christmas[]

For: Jacki From: Sakaratte	You have been given a present.

Texture maps[]

Hi Jacki, someone is enquiring about the texture maps. Mind taking a few moments out to give them an answer, if you have some free time? Sakaratte - Talk to the catmin 05:54, December 26, 2017 (UTC)

Question about deletion[]

Regarding the Patrolling Eyebot page which you deleted earlier today. The comment upon its initial deletion from J said that it wasn't a location, but should be part of the Eyebot character. That made sense, so I recreated it as a character page, which is the one you just deleted. Your comment was that it was already deleted once. I respect you admin folk, but that's not enough for me to know what I did wrong. If you don't like this template, can you tell me how you would like me to add this content to the wiki? Thanks.--DocSilence (talk) 21:54, December 28, 2017 (UTC)

Player[]

Player isn’t second person. It should either be title of the player character or ‘player character,’ not player. Great Mara (talk) 22:04, December 29, 2017 (UTC)

Philip Lem undo[]

I saw you undid an edit on the Philip Lem page, but didn't leave a reason in your edit summary and didn't leave a message on the user's talk page. Unless you're certain that it's vandalism I don't think you shouldn't communicate your reasons for undoing an edit; it makes you look arrogant, even if you didn't mean it that way.
- FDekker ^talk 00:46, December 31, 2017 (UTC)

I hadn't seen Paladin's undo that came before yours, so I hadn't interpreted it in the full context. While I agree with not leaving a revision summary, I would like to encourage you to leave a simple message on the edit warring user's talk page to not let them sit in the dark in the future.
- FDekker ^talk 00:54, December 31, 2017 (UTC)

Anon block[]

Hi Jacki, I'm not 100% comfortable with the anon block over the Philip Lem page (even if it is just one day) just because you reverted him twice. I know the rule book does state 3 times is an edit war, however I can also see the argument for "tools used to win an argument", just because we possibly could have done more. I'm going to reverse it and leave a message on their talkpage, but I'm going to protect the page instead. Seems to be a fairer way of dealing with the issue. Sakaratte - Talk to the catmin 01:02, December 31, 2017 (UTC)

I do get where you're coming from. The guy was going to be insistent on pursuing his own goal, whilst using any ammunition he could find to throw at it. He was certainly being a dick about it, instead of actually trying to resolve the problem and you're right, he probably would have continued, just like Papi would continue to argue with "Wikipedia says" no matter what we said.

One day isn't the world ending, it is closer to an informal block or warning than an actual ban. I knew you would have a perfectly good reason for it and you did.

Anyway, no reason to worry about it all now. If the guy does nothing for the next week and comes back, we enforce the blocks, he has time to talk us now after all. Have a good new year! Sakaratte - Talk to the catmin 20:43, December 31, 2017 (UTC)

Character affinity[]

Apologies for the generic message.

This forum was raised almost a week ago to tweak article guidelines so we could get companion reactions added into the layout guidelines with the hope of achieving a consensus rather than a vote. Can you take 5 minutes to cast your eye over and give your input? Sakaratte - Talk to the catmin 14:34, May 12, 2018 (UTC)

Notable content[]

Hello, one of the requests that was made quite a while ago, was a review of the notable content template, to make it clearer there is hidden content. A new draft has now been created and is fully functional. Can you swing by, take a look and give you input as to suitability/changes? Sakaratte - Talk to the catmin 07:08, May 23, 2018 (UTC)

Resignation[]

Hi Jacki,

I know we spoke about this earlier privately aand I knew to expect it, yet it still sad to hear you have decided to stand down. I've removed admin, but if you would like to retain patroller and rollback for the casual visit please let me know in the next few days and I'll grant them.

Its been a good ride and you know where we are, as we all know where you are too. I'm sure we will see each other from time to time, especially if there is fika ;) Sakaratte - Talk to the catmin 19:10, June 26, 2018 (UTC)

Catch Up[]

Hi Jacki,

Was wondering if I could have a catch up about your experiences? Are you free on the weekend? Agent c (talk) 10:53, August 8, 2018 (UTC)

Saturday is probably best. Just name a tome.

I can do any platform you like - skype, discord, anything else. Agent c (talk) 15:33, August 8, 2018 (UTC)

Not a problem. Can you shoot me a friend request on discord? Thanks. Agent c (talk) 15:45, August 8, 2018 (UTC)

FO4 quests project[]

Hiya! This is very random, but I was looking at necro-ing the Fallout Wiki:Fallout 4 quests project while I replayed FO4 and you're the only person listed that worked on the project who is still active. It all seems pretty straightforward but I was hoping you might be able to shed some light on what triggers a quest moving from Stage 1 to Stage 2? My problem being that there are a bunch of tables filled with green ticks but only the "Stage 1" progress meter is filled, and I don't know if this is just a recording error or there's something I'm missing? If you're not sure, it's all g, I'll just make something up, but thought I'd ask one of the original project members before dicking around with anything. :) --L84tea ^{Would you like a cup of tea?} 00:31, July 3, 2019 (UTC)

Macrosoft image[]

I was wondering where the origin of the "File:Macrosoft.jpg" you uploaded back in 2016 is.--Ant2242 (talk) 05:19, February 4, 2020 (UTC)
