snow sail
#

a lil later i found a third in the same area

summer kindle
#

ok well that makes me doubt it

snow sail
#

why would more spawn if there was only one?

late lotus
#

Nate is a fish, so it is easier for him to find many

turbid ermine
#

The glow whale with 10,000 health is a real thing though.

snow sail
#

and especially after they were all removed from the area

summer kindle
#

Probably sets it as a respawn point for them or something

#

and picked up creatures do respawn

snow sail
#

honestly was my second guess

#

but its never done that for anything else before

summer kindle
#

or you just haven't noticed

snow sail
#

i spawned a nootfish once

#

it only stayed one

#

and after i picked it up it didnt respawn

agile spindle
#

unless we can find more in an unaltered world we should assume it doesn’t spawn

snow sail
#

fair

#

ill load another up and go to the same spot

agile spindle
#

@turbid ermine don’t you have a list you can look at?

turbid ermine
#

I have, but it's still possible if it was added by hand.

#

This list is about entities generated by the game.

agile spindle
#

ah

turbid ermine
#

For example, the squid isn't on the list, same as penglings.

late lotus
#

so it is spelled penglings

snow sail
#

Pengwings are the adults

late lotus
#

@snow sail have you picked one up?

snow sail
#

Yes

minor axle
#

Who ever played just cause 3

summer kindle
#

why are you asking in here

minor axle
#

Ah wiki chat, sorry I thought I was in general

snow sail
#

so i went back in and i coudlnt find one

#

i spawned one in and picked it up and still nothing spawned

agile spindle
#

let’s assume it doesn’t spawn

snow sail
#

oh wait

#

day command spawns them in

agile spindle
#

what

snow sail
#

yeah i think the spawn command sets a spawn point for them

late lotus
#

me too

snow sail
#

ive confirmed that they were only spawning because i spawned one in

late lotus
#

ok lol

late lotus
#

I

agile spindle
#

stop

cinder kestrel
agile spindle
#

SLS do you have the bot available atm

cinder kestrel
#

Yes.

agile spindle
#

Can you do the same thing you did with {{FaunaLink}}, except replacing all Flora links with {{FloraLink|FloraName}} and ignoring templates and the Flora page?

late lotus
#

is it possible for users to add pictures from the game to the wiki?

cinder kestrel
#

Yes.

late lotus
#

how do we do that?

agile spindle
#

Speaking of that, @snow sail your pictures are great but in the future can you name the files something more intuitive when you upload them?

late lotus
#

ok thanks tueman

snow sail
#

what do you mean?

agile spindle
#

The name of this image is a pain in the ass to add to pages

snow sail
#

its the pure screenshot name

late lotus
#

yikes

agile spindle
#

So change it

snow sail
#

i didnt really think to name it

cinder kestrel
#

But now you know.

snow sail
#

ill change it from now on though

agile spindle
#

great 👍 thanks

cinder kestrel
#

@agile spindle Done.

agile spindle
#

thanks

edgy lagoon
#

Don't you love when people post random in game events in the comments of a page?

agile spindle
#

what?

edgy lagoon
#

Eh, nevermind.

#

Okay so I've reached an odd thing

#

All of the dialogue in the ending cutscene is actually a single file.

#

Including all the sounds.

#

Should I just edit the section to include all the dialogue in a single list segment with the file at the bottom?

agile spindle
#

sure

edgy lagoon
#

Okay, I'll do that.

#

But there's also another problem.

#

There is about three of the ending files and I don't know which I'm suppose to use

agile spindle
#

so compare them

edgy lagoon
#

end_cin_sfx
end_cin_sfx_11
end_cin_sfx_12

#

Some volume differences I think

agile spindle
#

choose the most accurate one

edgy lagoon
#

Oh and the first one without the number doesn't have the emperor dialogue packed in with it.

#

The other two do.

agile spindle
#

then pick one of those

edgy lagoon
#

The two with the emperor dialouge?

agile spindle
#

is there a file with just the emperor dialogue?

edgy lagoon
#

Yes.

agile spindle
#

then use the first one and separate the lines

edgy lagoon
#

Got it.

#

Is the first telepathic message from the emperor time-based or location-based?

#

I said the first one.

agile spindle
#

He is asking about SN

turbid ermine
#

It's clearly not location based, but I don't know if it's related to the radio messages at some point.

#

Can't remember.

agile spindle
#

I'm almost certain it's time based

#

1 week or something

edgy lagoon
#

I suppose I'll put time based until proven otherwise.

turbid ermine
#

It sure is time based, but maybe time based from a radio message that's what I meant.

edgy lagoon
#

Does anyone know about the second one?

#

I know the third one, I just need the second's trigger.

edgy lagoon
#

Is anyone not busy right now and able to test something for me?

late lotus
#

sure

edgy lagoon
#

You have Subnautica right?

#

Base game?

late lotus
#

yea

edgy lagoon
#

If your able to, can you see if the files on the Sea Emperor Leviathan's page are the same as in game? (Voice files)
https://subnautica.fandom.com/wiki/Sea_Emperor_Leviathan#1

Subnautica Wiki

The Sea Emperor Leviathan is the largest of the living Leviathan class fauna in Subnautica. It is sentient and telepathic. The Sea Emperor Leviathan is colossal, having a stocky, entirely armored...

late lotus
#

ok

edgy lagoon
#

👍

late lotus
#

all her voice files?

edgy lagoon
#

Really only the ones in the aquarium.

#

Aquarium Telepathic Contact Dialogue

late lotus
#

The Dialogue is up to date

#

@edgy lagoon you still there?

edgy lagoon
#

Ah, thanks for telling me!

late lotus
#

np

edgy lagoon
#

I added the Sea Emperor's dialogue to the dialogue page, as well as added the Rocket Dialogue/SFX to that.

#

Note the Dialogue is combined with the SFX in all files I checked so there was no removing it.

#

I can confirm every single line of dialogue currently on that page has a file except for a single one.

#

That single one being one that never had dialogue added for some reason.

edgy lagoon
#

Someone called crabsquids "spidery things" in the comments of the crabsquid page.

summer kindle
#

that clade template looks complicated

agile spindle
#

Well it has to work first

#

but yea it's a bit complex

frail dragon
#

ok what is all this template stuff you are working on?

#

first - what wiki?

#

second - for what purpose?

#

and third - Is there anyway I can help contribute

edgy lagoon
#
  1. Probably BZ
  2. What else would you use a template for
  3. No stab
agile spindle
#

templates are written in HTML and some require CSS, JS, or even Lua to set up

#

The Clade template bippity is referring to is from Wikipedia. I’m having trouble setting it up because it’s the first time i’ve used a lua module

frail dragon
#

i did some templates a while back on the SN wiki iirc

agile spindle
#

were they lua

#

because html templates are easy peasy

frail dragon
#

i think I made a "not in game" or "may not make it into the game" or something template for the BZ wiki, but then SLS's bot did this thing that removed unused templates soon after

#

and i think it was the same language as the navbox template things are

edgy lagoon
#

Not lua

agile spindle
#

yea that’s html

#

header templates are probably the easiest kind to make

frail dragon
#

oh lua... I might've used that when scripting roblox long ago but I have forgotten since then

agile spindle
#

the templates i’ve been making or adding recently are more involved than those

frail dragon
#

k

edgy lagoon
#

Anyone know what triggers the Alterra Contact radio message?

frail dragon
#

...

edgy lagoon
#

I stll need an answer to that question.

frail dragon
#

wait uh

#

which message?

#

the neptune rocket thing?

edgy lagoon
#

Tge one where your told the Captain's code

frail dragon
#

i think it's either 14 hours into the game or after the sunbeam

#

i can't remember

turbid ermine
#

It's timed and it's after the sunbeam event. If you don't trigger the radio at all you never have the message.

edgy lagoon
#

Erm, @summer kindle, commas come before and when your listing thing.

#

thing, thing2, and thing3.

agile spindle
#

oxford comma is a pretty polar issue

#

it really doesn’t matter that much, it’s preference like british vs american spelling

summer kindle
#

But a data bank entry is what was being changed

#

Data bank entries are to be displayed exactly as they are in game, including any spelling errors or grammatical errors

agile spindle
#

ah then in that case leave it out

#

or whatever’s accurate obviously

summer kindle
#

Well someone went in and added a comma to the entry, I assume that it doesn’t appear in game like that.

edgy lagoon
#

Oh it was an entry. Okay that's fine.

summer kindle
#

as much as it pains me we don't mess with entries

#

which is why the word "vertibrate" appears several times on the wiki

agile spindle
#

reee

summer kindle
#

honestly that entry is kinda off in general

#

says it's not cold enough to freeze most """"""vertibrates""""""
but what is the Brinewing's prey? Vertebrate fish that it freezes solid

#

also weird conflation of vertebrate and warm blooded

#

actually it's not the entry in general it's just the bit on the end
which happens to be the only bit not taken straight from Alex's description

agile spindle
#

we don’t know its prey tho

summer kindle
#

it attacks things already

#

and eats things

#

also we apparently missed this at some point

agile spindle
#

yeah but we don’t know what it eats

#

since we don’t know where it lives

quasi moat
#

It eats leviathans

summer kindle
#

someone changed every mention of Brinewing throughout the page

#

how did we miss this

agile spindle
#

double edit

#

vivi made the mistake of undoing rather than rollback

#

unless content mods can’t rollback

cinder kestrel
#

They can.

agile spindle
#

there you have it

cinder kestrel
#

Fixed.

agile spindle
#

that person was blocked after that anyway i guess no one looked at the page though

cinder kestrel
#

Please restart my computer for me.

sinful yarrow
#

lore size of what?

cinder kestrel
#

Sea Dragon Leviathan.

#

Compared to the Sea Emperor Leviathan.

sinful yarrow
#

🤔

summer kindle
#

Because the data bank entry says it's 112 metres long, but the actual creature is a bit shorter than that now because it was shrunk down at some point

#

but the entry was unchanged

cinder kestrel
#

Ah.

sinful yarrow
#

interesting

turbid ermine
#

@edgy lagoon, there is a comment in the language file for your question earlier. //Triggered 5 days after sunbeam event, or on lostriver base

agile spindle
#

comments are not always accurate

edgy lagoon
#

👌

turbid ermine
#

You were right, it seems to be location based only.

agile spindle
#

Starting next week the updated Discussions page will be the new default page for new users instead of the Main Page

cinder kestrel
#

Hmm.

agile spindle
#

im gonna say i dont like that at all

edgy lagoon
#

Discussions are actually dumb.

agile spindle
#

well theyre updating discussions

#

it looks better

#

but it is not fit for a landing page

edgy lagoon
#

I agree on that.

#

I want to start on our welcome page, not the discussions.

agile spindle
#

The most recent posts tagged with an article will be shown underneath that article on the wiki

#

hrng

summer kindle
#

Are they even used by anyone on our wiki

#

I always forget they exist

agile spindle
#

We have it yeah

#

Like 3 people use it per week

#

We’re going to be introducing @ mentions so you can ping other users.

#

kill me

cinder kestrel
#

But if somebody types in the link, then yes, they will get that landing page.

agile spindle
#

unregistered users will still see the main page

#

apparently Discussions isn't in mediawiki

cinder kestrel
#

No, it is too separate.

agile spindle
#

which basically means I won't be posting in it at all

edgy lagoon
#

By the way, I added some old Cyclops dialogue to the trivia.

#

Luckily I can probably extract some of the older game version's files in case the sounds are deleted for other things.

late island
#

Maybe this is a good time to bring up that idea we had for the new wiki again

agile spindle
#

Yeah, want to explain it?

late island
#

where to start

agile spindle
#

idk, it's not that complicated though

late island
#

Basically it'd be like a connected UWE wiki network

#

with a main hub with links to all of them

agile spindle
#

to each wiki for games made by UWE

#

NS/NS2, SN/BZ, ZoS and future games

#

<@&192900629797142528>

late island
#

There is the whole issue of getting people to move to the new wiki but with sufficient advertising that would be less of a problem

#

of course there's the whole discord here which would have links to it and mention it, and we could probably get some Youtubers to let people know about the move

cinder kestrel
#

So we have a wiki for each game, and there is a central page linking to all of them?

agile spindle
#

yeah essentially

cinder kestrel
#

Company-hosted?

agile spindle
#

yes

late island
#

Yeah UWE hosted

cinder kestrel
#

So we get to do whatever we want with it, if we know how to do it?

agile spindle
#

it's additionally good for UWE because it brings more users to their less-known games

late island
#

yep

cinder kestrel
#

Will you pay me ten thousand dollars?

#

Continue your streak, please.

agile spindle
#

stay on topic sls

cinder kestrel
#

Fine.

late island
#

is there a joke there that I'm missing

#

anyway

#

wiki network

#

UWE hosted

#

no FANDOM restrictions

#

and can advertise their other projects

agile spindle
#

Plus it'd make it easier to navigate between the SN/BZ wikis

#

and any future subnautica game if they make it, it's good future-proofing

cinder kestrel
#

I still give it my support.

#

(I gave it my support the previous times we brought it up, right?)

agile spindle
#

Yeah we want everyone here to support it before we bring it to Ted

cinder kestrel
#

Great, time to ping the others. Or maybe I will in negative eight minutes.

agile spindle
#

I pinged the others already

cinder kestrel
#

Or you can ping them in negative eight minutes.

fluid lagoon
#

do you

#

no

agile spindle
#

sam you have to stop spamming this chat

cinder kestrel
#

Not to this channel.

agile spindle
#

not to any channel

#

im a tseries subscriber

cinder kestrel
frail dragon
#

Oh cmon why are the mods not answering

cinder kestrel
#

@summer kindle

#

You still need to answer the first ping.

frail dragon
#

Why did you even join the server
Just to annoy people like this...?

#

Troll I guess

cinder kestrel
#

Take a guess, @frail dragon .

cunning oak
#

I got it

agile spindle
#

legend bluerose comes to the save ❤

cunning oak
#

Resume being legendary wiki keepers flutterwink

cinder kestrel
#

And now I know playtesters have some moderator skills.

cursive vigil
#

obraxis told me he doesn't want to hear about pewdiepie vs tseries

summer kindle
#

What

cursive vigil
#

some people were just talking a little bit about pewd vs tseries

summer kindle
#

Nobody is talking about that in here

cursive vigil
#

scroll up a little bit

summer kindle
#

Oh wait never mind they were 8 hours ago

#

And already got banned

#

So why did you feel the need to mention it now

cursive vigil
#

wait wot did they really get banned?

summer kindle
#

For multiple things other than just that

cursive vigil
#

oh

#

and i was sleeping when they said that

agile spindle
#

so now that the frozen river plant 02 is not unique to the frozen river

#

can we change its name

late island
#

it still doesn't have a new name

#

the person you should be asking here is Tom

summer kindle
#

well this is awkward

#

frozen river plant 02 is actually frozen river plant 01

agile spindle
#

i think its funny when you guys tell me the names arent confusing

late island
#

I don't think I ever said that

summer kindle
#

ugh we have the names the wrong way around

#

who is responsible for this

late island
#

I'm numpto

summer kindle
#

I will personally be annoyed

agile spindle
#

Maybe we should name them something more recognizable

#

so no one will be confused

summer kindle
#

I can't name things
you think I'm Tom

#

We cannot play god

agile spindle
#

We can

#

we are the wiki keepers

fluid lagoon
#

no

late island
#

Maybe it's time to retire tueman

#

the power's getting to his head

agile spindle
#

ok that hurts a little

agile spindle
#

wheres the brinefall

summer kindle
#

I think I was behind it there

late island
#

you were looking right at it

#

it's just really transparent at times

agile spindle
#

no because the splashes are in front of you

#

but they look like theyre just floating there

late island
#

You can see the brinefall straight ahead

agile spindle
#

@summer kindle did you see the UWE-wiki idea that dino posted yesterday?

summer kindle
#

yeah

agile spindle
#

what are your thoughts?

summer kindle
#

It's all well and good to think about, but you have to remember that we would not be the people setting it up.
You have to rely on other people for that and I'm not 100% certain they will want to.

agile spindle
#

Well UWE would actually benefit a bit from this as opposed to just hosting the wikis separately

late island
#

Yeah it's part of that concept

agile spindle
#

thats the full one from GDC

#

it's high res enough to use i think

late island
#

Well that isn't the full concept though

#

it's wider than the ones we've seen

#

but there's still a lot missing vertically

agile spindle
#

oh shoot

late island
#

I just posted the vertical one

agile spindle
#

yeah i looked at it

#

didnt notice the vertical difference till now

agile spindle
#

omelette plant

summer kindle
#

omelettes don't have visible yolks

agile spindle
#

egg plant

#

o wait

summer kindle
#

it's a fried egg plant

#

UWE leaked a new doritos flavour

#

blue egg

summer kindle
#

the others aren't doing that

agile spindle
#

combination of a squared image, bullet points, and long biome list

#

also lack of spawn id

#

try decreasing the image size parameter below 200

summer kindle
#

put it to 130 and it's fine now

#

wait what

#

now all of the tool tips that were not doing that are doing that

#

how did that even happen

cursive vigil
#

omelette dorito plant

#

ilumeto plant

agile spindle
#

you didn’t modify the original floratable template did you?

cursive vigil
#

illuminati + omelette + dorito

agile spindle
#

stop spamming

summer kindle
#

No I only changed FloraTable/Redwort_Relative

#

Now that tool tip is not doing it

cursive vigil
#

i'm not spamming

summer kindle
#

and the others are

agile spindle
#

revert it and see if that fixes the others

summer kindle
#

the cave bush relative one is no longer doing it

#

but the violet beau relative and bowl plant are

#

what manner of witchcraft is this

cursive vigil
#

nvm i get it now sry for the spam

agile spindle
#

i don’t know

#

i’ll take a look when i get home

edgy lagoon
agile spindle
#

young playerbase

frail dragon
#

idk though because when I was younger my grammar was fine
At least spelling-wise

#

And I don’t think they understand that spell check (whatever you call it) exists

summer kindle
#

Alright Lee we all know you were a 250 iq baby

frail dragon
#

Or maybe

#

They see other people not using grammar when talking
And think that’s cool

agile spindle
#

or maybe

#

they’re 8 years old

#

and they’re excited because you tubers play this game so they type quickly

edgy lagoon
#

They had to type quickly to get back to Anthomnia's video.

#

I'm probably the only person who uses links and such in my comments.

agile spindle
#

you aren’t

edgy lagoon
#

Ah, good, lmao.

frail dragon
#

iirc people would always but brackets around every word that was a page on the wiki so it'd be like
"Why don't we have a [Peeper] [Leviathan]? That would be a nice addition to [Subnautica]"

#

but the brackets made it into a link

#

and it was kinda annoying

agile spindle
#

single brackets dont link unless there's a link separated with a space inside it

frail dragon
#

oh okay

#

(it was just an example)

#

because I'm not actually sure what they did to have all those links

edgy lagoon
#

I just realized, I responded to a dude with information from another page when the information was also on the page we were on

#

I linked him to the Alien Arch Caches page while we were on the Alien Arches page.

#

And all you needed to do to find what he wanted was click on the "Slave Arches" tab

agile spindle
#

really makes you wonder why those pages arent combined though

edgy lagoon
#

Yea, why do we have two pages with the same info?

#

I mean I guess the Cache one details more about the Caches ontop of the arches, but still, they're the same topic.

fluid lagoon
#

don't start this again

#

they're staying separate

agile spindle
#

heh

#

btw @fluid lagoon @stuck pawn @heady gulch @fierce imp did you guys see dino's idea? we discussed it a bit yesterday

late island
#

Don't bug them

cinder kestrel
#

But that is the only way to get "consensus."

hallow basalt
#

🤔

cinder kestrel
#

Thoughts?

agile spindle
#

ivan you can put in your opinion too if you want

#

since this does affect you too

hallow basalt
#

i'm neutral about this tbh

cinder kestrel
#

I know tueman forgot to ping you, so here you go: @hallow basalt

hallow basalt
#

if you guys think it's the right idea, then go ahead

late island
#

I feel like most of the keepers would be fine with leaving

#

it's just

#

we gotta get the devs on board

agile spindle
#

it's best to make sure there's a consensus before we go to ted with it

#

By the way, I can't merge the Clade template to the wiki because apparently Wikipedia runs on a newer version of the engine than Fandom

late island
#

I think a reason people would be hesitant about this would be that the devs might not want it

cinder kestrel
#

I think Wikipedia is 1.34, while we are 1.19.

agile spindle
#

yeah thats what bippity said

#

but it doesn't hurt to ask

cinder kestrel
#

Wikipedia uses 1.33.0-wmf.23 (f51b1f3), published 18:22, 28 March 2019.

agile spindle
#

thats uh

#

new

#

hey @cinder kestrel can you find a version history? around what time did they use a similar version as us?

cinder kestrel
#

There you go.

#

It was released seven years ago.

#

MediaWiki 1.19 was a release that contained many new features and bug fixes.
This is a summary of the major changes.
You can consult the RELEASE NOTES file for the full list of changes in this version.
It was deployed to Wikimedia wikis in February 2012, see /Deployment annou...

agile spindle
#

oh shoot

cinder kestrel
#

Yes.

agile spindle
#

I got it working @summer kindle

#

At least, it looks like it's working

summer kindle
#

Cladogram?

agile spindle
#

yeah

summer kindle
#

I’ll take a look in a minute

agile spindle
#

cause the current line color is for Wikipedia which is a white background, but black on dark blue is hard to see

summer kindle
#

I’ll probably go for orange

summer kindle
#

clade time

agile spindle
#

Why did we have blogs disabled on the BZ wiki?

cinder kestrel
#

Too much junk is my guess.

agile spindle
#

they're enabled on SN though

cinder kestrel
#

Hmm.

summer kindle
#

Well I just enabled them now

#

did you not see that I just made one

agile spindle
#

Yeah I'm just wondering why you disabled them in the first place

#

thats what prompted the question

summer kindle
#

When the wiki was still not open

#

we had everything disabled

cinder kestrel
#

Ah.

summer kindle
#

ok

#

I'm having issues working out how to get further than this

#

Trying to expand it further is confusing

agile spindle
#

as in same level as arrow ray or another split off?

summer kindle
#

this whole group is meant to be nested within a larger group

#

including the Eyeyes, Peepers and Reginald

agile spindle
summer kindle
#

Nah

#

I got it now I think

#

It's a confusing template that's for sure

agile spindle
#

Pretty sure you just call a new clade template for every split off

summer kindle
#

no idea what that means

#

wait

#

I understand

agile spindle
#

lol, well if you understand how to use it it's fine

hard pewter
#

is it some fish family tree?

summer kindle
#

es

#

yes

hard pewter
#

are oculus and peeper on a different ''branch''?

agile spindle
#

its not done yet

hard pewter
#

ok

agile spindle
#

and it's also not official so

summer kindle
#

And yes they would be

#

nice I got it all in the correct layout

#

took a while

agile spindle
#

you got rid of the pictures?

summer kindle
#

Just to make it easier to work out

#

I'll add them back in now

#

it's easier to comprehend when it's just one line rather than a whole image link

agile spindle
#

ah

#

glad it's working

#

I'm typing up the documentation for it atm

summer kindle
#

Ok images are in

#

Now I believe I can label these branches

agile spindle
#

yeah

#

just put |label1=Name or whatever number you need above that branch's parameter

#

since we have an older version of the template I'm not sure how much of it works or if you even need it though

summer kindle
#

god these get confusing to work out

#

Just trying to work out where to even place these labels

agile spindle
#

put them immediately above the branch you're trying to name

#

that seems to be the easiest way

summer kindle
#

Yes it is, but it is difficult to tell where each branch is sometimes

#

never mind I got it

#

probably

agile spindle
#

thats cause youre placing the end markers at the same level lol

summer kindle
#

OK

#

Done with all labels

agile spindle
#

👍

#

if you want to put more information you can probably use references

late island
#

how do you change the line color?

agile spindle
late island
#

where's the color in that?

agile spindle
#

you gotta add it

#

I would assume to the first class

#

otherwise I think you can define the color on a per-clade basis but you'd have to define it for each leaf

late island
#

let's see if this works

#

I added it to every section so I know if I'm just doing it the wrong way

agile spindle
#

you wouldn't change the border-color would you?

late island
#

that's the color right?

agile spindle
#

im not sure

#

i guess try it

summer kindle
#

thanks for template

#

is good

agile spindle
#

np

agile spindle
#

i dont think the css worked

summer kindle
#

can someone try uploading this to the BZ wiki, I can't for some reason

chrome jackal
#

that thing

#

is sexy man

agile spindle
summer kindle
#

it kept telling me .png didn't match

chrome jackal
#

guess what

agile spindle
#

I get that sometimes

chrome jackal
#

if you dive in the void in creative about 3250m i think

agile spindle
#

I just download it from the article link or something

chrome jackal
#

you can hear these sounds

#

which are not ghost leviathan

agile spindle
#

@chrome jackal this channel is for wiki discussion only

chrome jackal
#

now tell me what they are

#

yes sir sorry

#

speak on general

agile spindle
#

wrong channel

summer kindle
#

I see now

#

my laptop refuses to save certain images correctly
I don't know why

#

shows them like this in the folder

agile spindle
#

Nah mine does it sometimes too

summer kindle
#

and if they're like that they won't upload

agile spindle
#

Yeah i get that

#

let's blame it on fandom and leave it at that

summer kindle
#

I don't know how to get around it.

agile spindle
#

if you're getting the issue from the vignette link I just go back to the image-article link and download that

#

it's the same res and it usually works fine

#

or vice versa if you're getting the issue from the image-article

summer kindle
#

what do you mean by the image article link

#

wait

#

got it

agile spindle
#

that

#

just right click and download

turbid ermine
#

The seamonkey nest can unlock the constructor and the seaglide.

#

It's not on the wiki.

#

SeaMonkeyNest1 => LaserCutter
SeaMonkeyNest2 => PropulsionCannon
SeaMonkeyNest3 => HighCapacityTank
SeaMonkeyNest4 => Seaglide
SeaMonkeyNest5 => Constructor

#

2 fragments needed.

agile spindle
#

I was told that was a bug

turbid ermine
#

It's entries in the file that's for sure, maybe it's not intended but it's there.

cinder kestrel
#

Alright, the bot is going to check for articles still using {{Recipe}} instead of {{Recipe2}}.

agile spindle
#

whoa

#

why

cinder kestrel
#

I just found two.

agile spindle
#

stop checking

#

why are you checking for that

cinder kestrel
#

Nothing to do while my dinner microwaves.

agile spindle
#

But Recipe and Recipe2 are different templates

#

Recipe is how the template is built and Recipe2 stores the individual recipes as a database

cinder kestrel
#

And articles should use {{Recipe2}}.

agile spindle
#

Are you sure the articles in question need recipe2?

#

what are the ones you found?

cinder kestrel
#

I found Chair just now while browsing the wiki.

agile spindle
#

hm ok

cinder kestrel
#

Note to self/whoever: https://subnautica.fandom.com/wiki/Giveaway_Items needs conversions from {{Recipe}} to {{Recipe2}}, including updating the latter template to have the recipes.

Subnautica Wiki

Giveaway Items are placeable items built using the Habitat Builder. They can only be placed inside of the Cyclops or Seabases. At the moment, the access to these items is restricted. One either...

agile spindle
#

Since we have the Fauna page ordered like the databank should the flora page do the same

hybrid bear
#

There’s something called scrolling up and reading.

sinful yarrow
#

I say yes, tueman

agile spindle
#

@cinder kestrel {{CoralLink}} is ready

#

also CoralTable/Table Coral lol

summer kindle
#

Did how to change the clade template’s colour not get worked out

agile spindle
#

the thing dino tried didn't work, no

#

lemme see what i can do

summer kindle
#

For some reason you can’t apply custom colours to the labels either

agile spindle
#

oh?

#

<div style="color:red">Arctic Waters</div>

summer kindle
#

Oh ok I tried to use the same thing that is used to colour naxbox text

#

Apparently it’s just that which doesn’t work

agile spindle
#

temp solution

#

alternatively you can specify the background color for the entire page

#

from what i can tell changing the color of the lines would require some heavy module modification which i dont have the know-how to do

#

alternatively-alternatively I can try to add this template which is specifically made for containing the clade template

sinful yarrow
#

alpha peeper? ooh

summer kindle
#

Nah that doesn’t seem needed

agile spindle
#

oki

summer kindle
#

Hmmm I can use a modified tool tips template to add compact information to the clades

agile spindle
#

uh

#

theoretically

summer kindle
#

It wasn’t a question

agile spindle
#

sounds like youre playing with fire

#

You can't just make a new FaunaTable template because the tooltip literally pulls straight from each template page

#

actually, hm

summer kindle
#

I know

agile spindle
#

I guess you could just make a new table but you'd have to build it yourself cause using the FaunaTable template probably doesnt suit your needs

summer kindle
#

Yeah I worked that out

#

I just need one box

#

For text

agile spindle
#

also you will have to put it as a subpage in FaunaTable because of how the JS reads tooltips

sand patrol
#

thx

agile spindle
#

@summer kindle if you want I can hook up a CladeInfo tooltip for you

summer kindle
#

Nah I deleted it because putting it in there messes with the clade template

agile spindle
#

How do you know? if you put {{CladeInfo}} in your clade obviously it'll break, you arent linking the tooltip but the whole table

summer kindle
#

That is not what I did

agile spindle
#

Then what did you try?

summer kindle
#

that but obviously there's a missing step

agile spindle
#

I mean you are linking the entire table by doing that

#

If you want a tooltip I can easily set it up for you

summer kindle
#

There's probably a better way to do this anyway isn't there

agile spindle
#

I suggested references earlier

#

but unlike on wikipedia those dont show up in the tooltip so it might be a bit awkward

summer kindle
#

I see you've already done it

agile spindle
#

yeah

#

i mean it's really easy to do, it just takes a few hours while it waits for approval

#

you can set up the tables now or when it's ready you just wont be able to link them till it gets approved

summer kindle
#

god looking at the alpha peeper entry for the first time in a while

#

it's so wrong

agile spindle
#

is it? lol

summer kindle
#

the way it talks about it is just a misunderstanding of how evolution works

#

Like how it describes the alpha peeper as developing photosensitive patches of skin and later, eyes

#

that would be many, many species

#

not the alpha peeper

#

and calls the Eyeye and Reginald subspecies

agile spindle
#

theyre just species right

summer kindle
#

and also insinuates that they only evolved eyes then? That seems pretty late to evolve eyes

#

and I also disagree with the Eyeye being included there in general

#

can I make the text not bold

agile spindle
#

changed it

summer kindle
#

thanks

agile spindle
#

if i were you I'd specify a maximum width cause that thing might be hard to display nicely on smaller screens or bigger clades

summer kindle
#

If you were me you wouldn't know how to do that

agile spindle
#

changed it also

summer kindle
#

What do I add to make the text itself smaller

agile spindle
#

style="width:60%; font-size:12px"

#

or whatever size

#

the width is the table width not the text

summer kindle
#

I got that

#

I don't know most things but I know some

#

albeit not much

#

The Alpha Ray entry has similar issues

minor axle
#

"Playstation 4
There are currently no known techniques to use console commands in the PS4 version of Subnautica, although some may be implemented later."

#

i thought cheats are on ps4

agile spindle
minor axle
#

no thats on the wiki

agile spindle
#

I don't know, unless you have a PS4 to test it dont change it

minor axle
#

isnt there like a button thing like the xbox 1?

agile spindle
#

xbox doesnt have cheats either

minor axle
#

they do

#

"Pressing XBOX Left Bumper + XBOX A + XBOX Right Bumper brings up an input box.
Pressing XBOX Left Bumper + XBOX Start + XBOX Right Bumper will open the Start menu and add a seventh "Developer" option, "

agile spindle
#

pretty sure they removed that

minor axle
#

why would they :/

edgy lagoon
#

This isn't a discussion for the wiki chat.

#

The only thing to take into consideration really is removing the description on how to enable console for Xbox, as it no longer works.

cinder kestrel
#

@agile spindle The work on {{CoralLink}} is successfully completed.

agile spindle
#

gratzie

late island
#

Just read that Alpha Peeper entry

#

oof

#

actually was that ever even added?

agile spindle
#

like in the game? yeah

#

I asked this earlier but should we order the Flora page like the databank does? Sea/Land/Exploitable

summer kindle
#

Well currently we don't know what plants may or may not be useful really

#

and where would you place things like the Lily and Glow Plants? Exploitable?

agile spindle
#

yes

summer kindle
#

just had a revelation

#

Bloom Plankton is biofluorescent, and not bioluminescent

#

I am a fool

agile spindle
#

whats the difference for us plebs that dont understand science

summer kindle
#

Basically bioluminescent things emit light by themselves

#

biofluorescent things absorb light and then re-emit light

#

so the glow plants in the dark cave are biofluorescent too

agile spindle
#

Am I mistaken or is the Bloom Plankton the only creature that got past the concept phase and was still cut?

summer kindle
#

Rock Puncher

agile spindle
#

oh

#

technically i guess thats true

summer kindle
#

Grab Crab also got past the concept phase

agile spindle
#

not very far past but sure

#

i think that was for testing

summer kindle
#

Sand Worm was just a test as far as we know

agile spindle
#

they didnt actually plan on implementing it

summer kindle
#

There's not really enough biofluorescence in the game to warrant a whole separate category

#

maybe it can just redirect to bioluminescence and that page can have a little section about biofluorescence

agile spindle
#

just add a small section on the bioluminescence page about

#

and mention it on their individual page/sections

summer kindle
#

I assume the Glow Plant is what those Chinese Potato plants are currently placeholders for

agile spindle
#

yeah

summer kindle
#

wait

agile spindle
#

youre killin me

summer kindle
#

ok so they're actually biophosphorescent

#

can we get a gif of the current glow flowers?

frail dragon
#

I’m confused why people think Xbox still has commands when I have stated at least twice on the page that console commands aren’t on Xbox or ps4
Everyone always quotes the part that begins right after when I explain that it doesn’t work...

edgy lagoon
#

I went ahead and updated the Subnautica Console Commands page (base game) to say the Xbox console has been disabled. If anyone disagrees with this edit, feel free to reverse it.

frail dragon
#

It already says that... unless someone changed it

agile spindle
#

clearly it doesnt if he had to edit it

frail dragon
#

And also I believe it was after Subnautica 1.0

#

Well for Pc

edgy lagoon
#

It was when Subnautica 1.0 launched.

#

On Xbox.

agile spindle
#

it isnt disabled on pc

edgy lagoon
#

It's fine on PC, just Xbox.

frail dragon
#

ik

edgy lagoon
#

That's what I changed.

frail dragon
#

But I think saying Subnautica 1.0 refers to the PC version... well at least that’s how I interpret that

edgy lagoon
#

It was called 1.0 when it launched on Xbox and PS4

minor axle
#

well good luck for people not be able to use the spawn cheat on xbox and ps4 when stuck

agile spindle
#

why would you use the spawn command if you're stuck

minor axle
#

because i wouldnt be able to move

cinder kestrel
#

spawn spawns in stuff./

minor axle
#

no just write spawn itself it will tp u anywhere in the map

agile spindle
#

no it doesnt

minor axle
#

it does

agile spindle
#

it absolutely does not

#

you are thinking of spawnme probably

cinder kestrel
#

`{{SimilarName|

minor axle
#

"spawn Respawns the player a small distance away. Good for getting un-stuck."

agile spindle
#

where does it say that

cinder kestrel
#

Towards the bottom.

#

Above the section "List of spawnable creatures or items."

agile spindle
#

Well I don't know what moron wrote that because I'm doing it in game and it does nothing @minor axle

cinder kestrel
#

@agile spindle That fact was added in 2015. That may explain it.

agile spindle
#

Actually like I said the command is spawnme not spawn

edgy lagoon
#

What is that image

agile spindle
#

the text was correct but the name was not

cinder kestrel
edgy lagoon
#

That's from before the H2O update jesus

cinder kestrel
#

April 13, 2015.

#

That is when the image was uploaded.

edgy lagoon
#

God

#

So long ago

agile spindle
#

Y'know bip you shoulda just done your clade stuff on the SN wiki cause I already uploaded all the BZ fauna pictures to it with a few exceptions

edgy lagoon
#

Never even heard of the "spawnme" command

agile spindle
#

the bz wiki says spawnnearby

#

i dont know what is real anymore

cinder kestrel
#

You can check.

summer kindle
#

SN wiki is so last year

agile spindle
#

lol fair enough

edgy lagoon
#

SN Wiki Better Wiki don't @ me.

summer kindle
#

@edgy lagoon fool

agile spindle
#

okay it is spawnnearby

#

as always the BZ wiki prevails

cinder kestrel
#

Did we ever hear back from the other wiki keepers about migrating?

agile spindle
#

nope

summer kindle
#

Not really necessary

cinder kestrel
#

You want to say "yes" and be done with polling around?

agile spindle
#

like dino said it's more of a question of whether they are willing to do it

#

than if WE are willing to, because most of us are okay with it

summer kindle
#

Yeah my point is most of our opinions here don't actually matter

cinder kestrel
#

Let's wait to find out how much work it will be until after Ted approves.

agile spindle
#

It wouldn't really be that much work for us

cinder kestrel
#

(Sorry, if he approves)

agile spindle
#

like, not an obscene amount

#

but for the devs, well someone would have to set it up

cinder kestrel
#

We should all do a big screenshare so that UWE can livestream our progress and receive lots of money and recognition.

minor axle
summer kindle
#

And undoubtedly the original wiki would still be the most visited

#

.

cinder kestrel
#

well someone would have to set it up
Hopefully, we are not involved with most of that work, just some of it.

summer kindle
#

what

cinder kestrel
#

The Pathfinder tool got removed?

minor axle
#

Isn't that the tool where you dig in the ground

cinder kestrel
#

Terraformer.

summer kindle
#

no

agile spindle
#

Bleeder, new rule: you have to check in game before you come to us with issues

#

okay?

edgy lagoon
#

^

minor axle
#

Ok

agile spindle
#

because so far you're 0/2 for being right and it's very annoying

cinder kestrel
minor axle
#

Ok

agile spindle
#

@summer kindle over time our wiki would regain the userbase

summer kindle
#

Not really. Because the original one will still be there

agile spindle
#

Yeah but it would slowly become more outdated

#

not to mention it is very difficult to edit for new users

cinder kestrel
#

Well, if we replace all pages with signs redirecting to the new wiki, that would help.

#

That is, until FANDOM staff revert that.

agile spindle
#

and obviously the newer wiki would be advertised in place of it

summer kindle
#

master plan, make it so complex that nobody else can work it out

agile spindle
#

I mean, that's how it is now lol

#

Recipe2 is hard enough to understand for newbies

cinder kestrel
#

Eh, it makes sense to me.

summer kindle
#

Recipe2 ain't that bad

#

I guess it is for brand new people

#

since tabbers used to confuse me

agile spindle
#

i didnt understand it till I tried replicating it for databank2

cinder kestrel
#

So, we want to ask Ted about moving, if this is what we want?

summer kindle
#

Yeah Yayie was a god of CSS

agile spindle
#

Recipe2 isnt css

summer kindle
#

see

agile spindle
#

neither is recipe

summer kindle
#

I know nothing

agile spindle
#

templates are written in HTML

cinder kestrel
#

CSS is what causes the tabbers to look the way they are.

#

I thought they were written in MediaWiki.

summer kindle
#

Yayie was a god of CSS and HTML

agile spindle
#

With the exception of Clade, which is written in lua

summer kindle
#

We will miss him

agile spindle
#

mm

#

did he make the navboxes?

#

or was that pauolo

summer kindle
#

I don't know. But he made a lot of the stuff that we use a lot

#

and he implemented tabbers

cinder kestrel
#

Pauolo.

agile spindle
#

knew it

#

that guy is still on the wiki actually

summer kindle
#

I saw him on the Hollow Knight wiki recently

cinder kestrel
agile spindle
#

yeah he comments on the SN wiki every now and then but he doesnt do much editing

minor axle
#

I have a suggestion, if possible add a wiki section on how long it will take to complete subnautica

agile spindle
#

that depends on the player

summer kindle
#

that's
subjective

cinder kestrel
#
Subnautica Wiki

Subnautica is a game made by Unknown Worlds Entertainment. Subnautica allows the player to explore an uncharted alien planet by scuba diving and traveling in submarines. The planet is almost all...

agile spindle
#

there you have it

cinder kestrel
#

Is it still up-to-date, though?

agile spindle
#

seems right

#

I ran through the game in about 10 hours so i assume a less experienced player would take 20

cinder kestrel
#

It has said that for over two years.

#

Since December 12, 2016.

minor axle
#

20 hours even if you know where everything is?

agile spindle
#

seems like an overestimate but

#

i dont know who wrote that and i dont feel like testing it

#

let's just say it's an "upper estimate" and call it a day

cinder kestrel
#

I do not know where it originally came from.

agile spindle
#

looks like ChrisFo added it from another user's page or edit

#

unfortunately that user's account doesnt seem to exist so I'm not sure

#

found it, he made the general structure for the section but it seems like ChrisFo added the information

#

How come searching Subnautica: Below Zero on the BZ takes us to the front page but searching Subnautica on the SN wiki takes us to the game page?

cinder kestrel
#

Because one wiki has "Wiki" in the name of the wiki, while the other does not.

agile spindle
#

on the SN wiki the main page is Subnautica Wiki

#

why is that

cinder kestrel
#

Because somebody forgot to include "Wiki" when naming it.

#

(Honestly, I do not know who)

agile spindle
#

smh

summer kindle
#

that was just me messing something up probably

cinder kestrel
#

Want me to ask to have it changed? We cannot do it, but FANDOM staff can.

agile spindle
#

its fine

cinder kestrel
#

Or should we just leave it because we plan on migrating?

agile spindle
#

just leave it

cinder kestrel
#

So, are we going to talk to Ted about migrating, or no?

#

Or at least, get that date set up.

#

Anyway, I am going outside to practice with my mace, so enjoy yourselves in the meantime.

cinder kestrel
#

I am back. Nothing? Oh, well.

edgy lagoon
#

Whoever made the Subnautica page didn't know how headers worked.

#

There was one right above the one you fixed SLS.

#

Make that two.

#

There was one that wasn't labled as a header for some reason.

agile spindle
#

why dont you fix them then

edgy lagoon
#

I did.

#

I fixed both of them.

cinder kestrel
#

But, of course, it was imperative we know.

agile spindle
cinder kestrel
#

I thought we said either/or on American vs. non-American English.

hallow basalt
#

miles

cinder kestrel
#

Because if we did, it is a terrible decision.

edgy lagoon
#

Who says metres

agile spindle
#

no one should be forced to write in a dialect they arent comfortable with

cinder kestrel
#

But the inconsistency is terrible.

agile spindle
#

it doesnt matter

#

@edgy lagoon british say metres

edgy lagoon
#

British people are weird.

cinder kestrel
#

But by the looks of things with SoAwesome1227, it does matter.

agile spindle
#

if people want to waste their time "correcting" british-english thats on them

hallow basalt
#

is there something mentioning this in the guidelines

agile spindle
#

no

hallow basalt
#

cuz it probably should

agile spindle
#

anyone who thinks metres is a typo isn't smart enough to read the guidelines

frail dragon
#

wait uh, we know kelp forest is the technical name for the biome
but is creepvine forest the real name...? I remember seeing it somewhere but maybe I'm just making things up

agile spindle
#

well it's a forest of creepvines

cinder kestrel
frail dragon
#

how does one "deforest" a kelp forest?

cinder kestrel
#

You know how you can strike at kelp with a knife, eventually destroying the plant?

frail dragon
#

yes

#

but that would take forever with each plant

cinder kestrel
#

That is how one "deforests" a kelp forest.

late island
#

It was called Creepvine Forest once on a dev site

#

but there was some reason that wasn't a thing actually

sinful yarrow
#

@edgy lagoon we are not weird

edgy lagoon
agile spindle
#

@fierce imp do you remember the name for the cove tree databank picture?

frail dragon
agile spindle
#

thats a dev site im pretty sure

agile spindle
edgy lagoon
#

Yes you should have.

#

This is why I said no.

sinful yarrow
#

🤔

#

I'm guessing that the devs did an April fools?

agile spindle
#

no just some random kid on the wiki

clever lion
#

Re: the Discussions update that just went live today on Fandom - I'd like to clear up one point of confusion about that: New logged-in users have the new combined Discussions Feed as their default landing page. Everyone else sees the main page as their landing page. That means 99.9% of all your visitors continue to see the main page as their landing page, because 99% of your visitors are not logged in, and everyone who had an account before today has the main page as their default. So this update barely has an impact on what your visitors see, other than the fact that it ties the wiki and Discussions closer together, visually.

#

On SN, which doesn't have Discussions, today's update has no effect whatsoever.

agile spindle
#

Both wikis has discussions

clever lion
#

Hm. I see it now, though I could have sworn a second ago it didn't. Maybe my eyes are broken today 🙄

agile spindle
#

I don’t like the idea of anyone being put on the discussions page by default

#

We work hard on the front page and I want people to see that

clever lion
#

And 99.9% of visitors will see it just as they have before

#

Every logged-in user has a choice, so no one is forced to see the Feed when they don't want to

agile spindle
#

everyone should have it as the default

#

if they want to land on the discussions page instead, that’s their choice

clever lion
#

There are already a ton of people (prior to this update) who chose not to see the main page as their default - those that go straight to Wiki Activity or Recent Changes

agile spindle
#

those are people who stay on the wiki for longer

#

they made that choice consciously

clever lion
#

Our user testing and data has shown that main pages don't do a good job at getting people to stay on the wiki at all. Almost no one clicks on links on main pages, no matter how pretty and thought-out they are, except for links in the local nav, which is present everywhere on the wiki. Discussions and Feeds tend to get people to stay and jump in much, much more. That's why we chose to make that the default preference for users who first sign up. We want those people to stick around long enough to figure out the community and what they can do with it

#

It's a pretty harsh reality, but admins and powerusers tend to be the only ones who really care about the wiki's main page, who put a lot of effort into it and who take great pride in a really well-designed main page. Your casual user generally only uses it as a jumping-off point to what they're actually looking for, and they tend to use the local nav for that and not even click on main page modules

#

Plus, almost everyone lands on the wiki because they've found a specific page on Google, so they enter the wiki on an article page, not the main page

agile spindle
#

Sounds to me like the goal you have in mind is to keep people on the wiki for participation rather than to help them get info easier

clever lion
#

Both, ideally

summer kindle
#

I can’t tell if that’s meant to be a bad thing

agile spindle
#

the primary purpose of the wiki should be giving people info on the game

#

i don’t like the focus being shifted away from that

clever lion
#

Yes, and since people find their info either via Google or via the local nav, this update doesn't get in their way

summer kindle
#

I also agree with Mira on this.
I personally almost never use main pages on wikis.

#

And I’ve always thought our own main page was kinda messy

agile spindle
#

well i was actually working on improving it recently

#

i got a roadblock but was planning on getting back to it

summer kindle
#

It doesn’t seem too useful. I don’t think that this change would have any negative impact on users’ ability to find things.
Simply due to the fact that it’s easier to just use the search bar.

#

The only thing we ever really did with our main page was put the update videos on it

#

agile spindle
#

i had a hard time making this one look good

#

for april fools you guys should give me feedback on things, it’ll be hilarious

summer kindle
#

I feel like that might be a bit overkill

cursive vigil
#

im sorry

#

that was mean

summer kindle
#

the resources and fauna sections seem unneeded

#

or just the fauna section

agile spindle
#

hm ok

summer kindle
#

also

#

Peepers all in one genus or Oculus and Peeper in one with Arctic Peeper in another

#

actually they should probably be 3

#

yeah we'll go with 3

agile spindle
#

the picture does look better this way

summer kindle
#

I should have been clearer

#

I meant remove fauna and keep resources

agile spindle
#

oh

#

how bout now

summer kindle
#

yeah that's good

agile spindle
#

how’d you come up with these taxon names bip

summer kindle
#

How could I possibly think of

#

Reginaldoidea

agile spindle
#

i mean like magnoculi and all that

summer kindle
#

well that just means big eye

agile spindle
#

oh

#

lol

summer kindle
#

di-oculi-formes
two eyed

agile spindle
#

doesn’t every species get a species name even if it’s the only one in its family?

frail dragon
#

on Planet 4546B would you still have things like Arthropoda or would it be something else

summer kindle
#

Yeah I've already got all the species names written out

#

just need to add them

#

@frail dragon They would be something else

#

there I added all of the species names

#

Eyeyes have three because they're subspecies

frail dragon
#

did you just make up the names though?

summer kindle
#

yes

#

Reginald is the real star
Superfamily: Reginaldoidea
Family: Reginaldae
Genus: Reginald
Species: reginald

frail dragon
#

summer kindle
#

agile spindle
