can you get a good length measurement also?
difficult when it is never straight
found some degasi concept art, added it to the main wiki.
can you source it
Pat's instagram I imagine
wait did nobody add that when we first found it
this seems to be about as straight as I can get it
whats the length come out to that way?
Around 60-65?
you could try opening the model in unity and comparing it to other leviathans that we do know the length of
you think I know how to do that chingus
@late island do you want to talk to mira about the wiki activity spoilers thing?
Wait it’s in game already
Damn I need to catch up.
I’ll be able to help a lot more on the wiki after May is over
can someone upload these two to the BZ wiki
my PC won't save them correctly for some reason
@chilly grove Since some people are acting like I'm god, I feel the need to tell you that I am leaving the edit, my argument is worth being upset over. If it's changed by a staff later, so be it, but I won't touch it anymore.
I think this was already known between us both, but it appears others cannot read the "we'll wait for an official decision" part in both of our posts.
Can someone please upload those images
Yes
Uploaded both now, should be under the same names as the other wiki.
Glad I could help mate.
I could save and upload the seed picture fine but for some reason neither of those would save properly
you didn’t
bippity you don't get to just do these things
wait did bip mod him
Well, okay. Either way, check latest comments on the Subnautica wiki.
no he gave him wiki keeper
New spam account is doing bad stuff.
why is he orange who said he could be orange
Bip I guess, I don't know.
@edgy lagoon can you also upload the dockleaf seed icon?
I already uploaded that
o
Wait but it said you did?
we thought he was already in it
...
why did he say that when he has discord
he is in this server
i think it's just a troll
oh it's lee's dumb "not tueman" account
I take no blame if he joins, I blame lee.
cough
bless you
I mean I thought that account was his.
fair point
I'll take half blame. That fine?
what are we even talking about
Uh... yes.
bad Lee
The delete button in the settings
Wiki chat
I would be disappointed, Lee
It’s not true of course... but as I said... what if?
it could be you, it could be me!
Ok
i honestly thought unknown was gonna be smart enough to get discord
what a disappointment
I think it is better he doesnt
Agreed.
Sí
Oh no
sls you fool
he might seek it out
Do you expect the user to do https://www.google.com/search?q=subnautica+discord ?
I only found it out because it used to be advertised on the wikia
They probably would try it
Hmm, a smart person . . .
Oh still advertised on the wikia? Guess i just havent seen it lately
Ah.
Im more talking about how it had like a whole section on the wikia
All I remembered was the little window on the sidebar.
Sls you've doomed us all.
XD Imagine my confusion. I couldn't tell if the messages on my wall were legit or just weird in-joke that I wasn't getting. Heh.
Oh wait was my unknown account banned
Not that I care but
yes
why is this page in alphabetic order and not length order like the normal SN wikia
because we dont know all the lengths
fair point
we knew even fewer when we first wrote it
Why not put those at the end though?
cause when we wrote the page we had no lengths
Works for me.
Also the extinct leviathan fossil isnt on there
so add it
now add it
Why doesn't it allow classic edit by default?
Is that a setting I have to turn on clientside?
cause classic edit is dumb
Can I do source edit on the current edit mode?
source edit is the default
...No? Pressing the edit button opens up some weird on-the-page edit from what I can tell.
go to preferences and change it
Oh, okay.
why cant wikia have a 12 hour time system setting
I set it to that, thank you.
I tried my hand at organizing them if that is okay.
I just organized them by size if we knew it, and the ones we didn't are in alphabetical order at the end.
maybe some pictures can start being added as well
ingame pics
like size comparision
Yea, as the original page has those.
I usually do that, yes. Is that not okay?
Plus it is the actual name of the section, with the link included.
@edgy lagoon omg is your profile pic a novakid?
Yes, though this isn't the chat to talk about it.
right sorry
You guys only host the sn FANDOM
Yes?
yep, they are responsible for fandom wiki, which is the only big one
we do run more than one wiki
below zero wiki?
yes
They don't run on multiple websites.
We maintain two different wikis, both of which are hosted by the same company on the same domain.
who plays the old subnautica?
this is the wiki room
Mesmers ain't in shroom forest
Pretty sure it is.
They are. I've seen multiple there
How goes it you beautiful wiki people
hey foxy long time no see
Mesmers are in the Mushroom Forest but they are uncommon
1-2 can spawn in front of the giant mushroom tree and that’s the only place I’ve seen them
They have responded
I want to see this.
His responses are the basic "Early Access doesn't mean that" "I am a software tester myself" stuff.
Sure
I mean it's not like BZ was like the beginning of SN
BZ already has a lot, I wouldn't call it "prototype"
Why is the mushroom forest so inconsistent
Or at least the spawns are
Like the purple pinecones for example
It says on the wiki they can always be located at the same place, that means they were placed by hand.
@agile spindle are you guys settled on Fandom? Did they sort all those videos out for you?
Awesome
Our current plan is to wait a few months. If we absolutely hate the program after all its changes, we will leave. Otherwise, we will stay.
I think that is the plan.
Can you guys push for them to delete this: https://naturalselection.fandom.com/wiki/Natural_Selection_Wiki as a deal for you guys letting them host you officially?
Or maybe we just plan on staying forever regardless.
It's like, 6 years out of date
I don't think they delete wikis ever
They do occasionally.
did mira say it was okay?
(she?) said it may be part of a deal
I think Fandom are really keen to be officially official for SN
due to the traffic you guys generate for them
i dont see why a deal would be made when Ted told us to stay on fandom
@fluid whale are you there good sir?
Did you just ping him?
I did
Yay, my eyes are working.
Hopefully he doesn't call down Mjolnir and smite me
Based on https://naturalselection.fandom.com/wiki/Special:Insights/popularpages , it seems the wiki earns FANDOM--a couple dollars every week? Every month? Yeah, you are right: it is rather unpopular.
how much do ours make
It's not even the lack of revenue, it's totally defunct and out of date
It's misleading
How much do you think per ad--$0.01? A tenth of that?
to anyone that reads it
calling Mjolnir 😉
nooooooooooo
If it was making a lot of money, that might be reason alone to keep it.
i assume you wanted to ask him something foxy
We are currently seeing 539,900 views per week. So, anywhere from $539.90 to $5,399.00 per week.
I did, Teddy, Mira suggested that it may be a possibility to have an old deprecated NS2 wiki deleted as part of SN becoming "official" on Fandom, do you think that's realistic?
Or more, if the ads on a single page amount to more than a cent per view.
Banner ads, side ads, video ads, etc.
That still refers to NS2 as the "upcoming title" (!!!!!)
well...we haven't become official on Fandom...but it is something we can discuss with them in the future
It has 29 articles vs the 262 on the official one
why havent we become official
would you guys like to be?
i thought we settled it
no...we said we'd revisit with them in a few months when we see if any of your concerns have been addressed
so nothing "official" yet...but if you all are ready to consider it, we can talk with them about it
Many of our concerns have already been addressed, personally I am okay with "becoming official"
good to know
I do recall that being the decision in https://discordapp.com/channels/85342800492634112/188459887200698368/570345468782182410 .
Call a vote of all the orange people!
I think @late island still has some reluctance to staying
others?
I am fine with being official.
I guess it's really just down to the 'crat
Would you like to wait on the edge of your seat while we vote one by one?
.....yes
. . . or we can ping you when we have reached a conclusion.
(Talking to Ted right now, but this can also be directed towards you)
👀
I just want you to get that horrible old NS2 one deleted as part of the arrangement 😄
Stop confusing my precious rookies
isnt the clogopedia the top result on google anyway
...but yes...please let me know what you all think is best as far as going official
not for "natural selection wiki"
and yeah...I'm sure the NS2 wiki on Fandom is getting nearly zero traffic
The fandom one outranks it 😦
it is outranking for anything else?
isnt the clogopedia the top result on google anyway
Yes, and when both FANDOM and Gamepedia have identical wikis, one outranks the other. But they both exist and get views.
to be fair the top result for that google search is wikipedia
It's third for natural selection 2 wiki
why is it lower, though, if the fandom has little traffic?
That is a wonderful question.
Not a lot of SEO work has gone into it I guess
Also probably has a lot to do with how popular the FANDOM domain is in general.
Yeah
Google probably expects that a website receiving 185 million (?) views a month is more popular, even on a subdomain.
"ns2 wiki" is a good one too...Clogopedia appears to be doing well on the majority of queries
but we could certainly ask
what happens if a guy decides to recreate the wiki after it's deleted? theoretically
I mean personally I'd ideally have us move away from fandom, and I'm sure the other keepers would like that as well
but in the end if that just won't work out it won't work out
why do you want to move away from fandom?
don't have to deal with their shenanigans
what happens if a guy decides to recreate the wiki after it's deleted? theoretically
There is a good probability that they blacklist the domain.
"Shenanigans."
They fixed most of the mistakes they made in the past
One reason we are staying is for what Tueman just said, and that they will make more improvements in the future.
Mira has agreed to discuss CSS/JS changes with us and they got rid of the videos
who knows if that'll start back up again
Mira has agreed to discuss CSS/JS changes with us
We should do that sometime.
plus they're making a lot of changes going forward
they have a whole plan about becoming more like gamepedia i think
That tends to happen when management changes, plus other changes.
but really I'm not too content on pushing to leave at this point
leaving would be nice but what happens happens
I'm not gonna push for it at this point.
i dont wanna ping anyone but if any other wiki keepers have an opinion on it it'd be great to hear
chants ping them! ping them!
I wouldnt mind it
I wouldnt mind it
Alright, if you do not mind being pinged, which is clearly what you mean, @remote leaf .
<@&192900629797142528>
oh no
haha yes

vee what is your opinion
oooooo u in troubleee
(We are still asking if we want to be official, right?)
my opinion is that im busy eating potato slices
What kind? Chinese?
What's being debated
oh no, not the dreaded potato slices!
whether to tell mira we are officially staying on fandom or waiting a few months first
Yes, these things.
Or, rather, this.
Fun fact about https://subnautica.fandom.com/wiki/Chinese_Potato_Plant : the only link it has to https://subnautica.fandom.com/wiki/Chinese_Potato is an image in the infobox.
Chinese Potato Plants are a non-native, terrestrial flora species found only in Exterior Growbeds and Plant Pots in and around the Floating Island Degasi Seabase. Chinese Potato Plants are some...
The Chinese Potato is an item that can be harvested from Chinese Potato Plants by picking them up. It can be planted in the Exterior Growbed, the Interior Growbed and the Planter Pot. In the...
Hm? What’s the question?
Whether to officially tell mira we stay on fandom or to wait a few months before we decide
Hm. I think we should wait a bit.
Waiting a few months gives us more insurance in case we end up hating them.
Does becoming official make us cooler?
allows us some more benefits apparently
So, it does make us cooler, apparently.
Amazing what searching can do for me.
Anyway, the wiki is going well.
Great conversation.
I guess we're waiting a bit then
Rip nootfish article.
what happened to it
It was locked. People kept adding the idea that the design was inspired by the tv show Pingu.
Well it clearly was
I feel it was too, but I ain't the one undoin' it.
I don't know, I think it's more likely to have been inspired by a hoover
Epic
e
should we have thermal lily sounds?
yes
Adding sounds to the Subnautica creatures is going to be hell because of how the files are named.
Adding sounds to the Subnautica creatures is going to be hell because of how the files are named.
Adding sounds to the Subnautica creatures is going to be hell because of how the files are named.
Meaning the original game.
I don't know if they're still named as bad in Below Zero.
they arent
I'll probably try and sort through the sounds on my own to add them to the Subnautica wiki, but Jesus Christ this name structure is a pain.
a lot of those attack sounds i have never heard before
I'll have to compare them all to in-game audio to be certain.
sea treaders dont attack
well, defend a bit i guess
i dont think they do
they kick you, don't they?
no
i couldve sworn i got kicked in the face by one
apparently they attack but not with their legs
is it with that proboscis thing?
its with the beak
i believe attack_swing is also with sea treaders but i cannot confirm this
i'm putting this in the tueman hall of fame
bite 2 is like the most generic sound that i hear on every creature
@fluid lagoon
ok i hope this helps
charge (2) - stalker
charge (3) - sandshark (confirmation needed)
charge_1 (2) - crabsquid
charge_1 - idk
charge_2 (2) - idk
charge_2 (3) - crabsquid
charge_2 - boneshark?
charge_3 (2) - idk
charge_3 (3) - stalker
charge_3 - crabsquid
charge_4 (2) - crabsquid, but maybe unused?
charge_4 - stalker
ok I was very uncertain so I'm not sure how helpful that really was
chef's kiss
can they still kind of bump into you and deal damage?
nobody was talking about their legs
which was said after you said that
besides you always claim you forget stuff about SN because BZ is so much better
as an excuse for saying dumb things
ok sure tueman
oh and when I said attack_down i didnt exactly mean they attacked downwards but that is the name of the file and it sounds like a sea treader
@fluid lagoon
so i'm going to begin by sorting all the files
to each creature
gasopods are somewhat sorted
thanks for reminding me of that epic joke i made
so anyway when are you going to accept that you said something silly instead of suddenly making it about me
master of projection
you guys do that to me all the time lol
i just think its funny how you brush stuff off as a "joke" to avoid looking like an idiot
because you aren't trying that right now
i didnt say i was joking
did i say you were
i said i forgot, because i havent played SN in a while
can I DM someone some audio files to confirm some stuff?
trying to avoid looking like an idiot
i expected this chat to be filled conversations about the wiki, not conversations about who is an idiot
why did you expect that
so, about the audio files...?
you can dm me them
but well, this is the subnautica discord server, people talk about subnautica in the general chat, memes in the subnautica chat, advertising in the below zero chat...
For uploading all these sound files: what if we zipped and uploaded them to Discord and let Mira Laime upload them directly? It would be a lot less work for us.
Or at least, we could ask if that could be done.
why would she take time to do that
How many files do we have? 30? 300? 3000? I do not actually know, but if we have a ton, it would be a kind act.
it would be a kind act.
That is pretty much the sole reason why she would do it.
yea but that isnt her job
are we sure that the reaper leviathan doesn't have any bioluminesence?
i really think it does, but it's just very slight
start the game and look
Pretty sure it doesn't, but check.
well it appears to be nearly black... and with the bioluminesence, black is darkest, and white is brightest
but it's definitely in the files
and this is not the green eyed one
this is definitely bioluminescence
👌
i don't know how this was overlooked all this time
Well, take an image like the other items have and upload it.
what about the bubbles?
What?
ambient b u b b l e s
i can't really get a good image that has fog on
so take it off
its fine
ok
i dont understand why the page said the reaper doesn't give off any bioluminescence when there was clearly an image already on the page called Reaper Bioluminescence.png on the page
Really?
yeah
there was trivia on several pages about Reaper bioluminescence, too...
i want to know who i can blame this on
maybe bippity?
if its that important to you just check
ok
SphericalCircle
wait why are sea emperors under the carnivore section of the bioluminescence page
they are carnivores
they are carnivores?
add a leviathan section if you want
is
@frail dragon Yes, if they glow.
i think they all do
my eyes
it had to be extremely dark because of how slight the bioluminescence is
im talking about how small it is
Why is it so small there but so big when you posted it here
I fixed it for you.
Should be a better size now.
why does it look so JPEGish
mine was fine i dont know what happened to yours
nvm
but at least this one isnt pixelated
Yea because that one is goddamn tiny
Can't see the pixels if they're too small to be seen.
but yours is the one that looks pixely
well in the preview thing at least
did you just stretch it?
I don't understand people sometimes.
Maybe there's no need to understand
Is there a way to make the table of contents auto hide on page open for a specific page?
yes but it either does that for everyone or no one on every page
Well I was wanting to make it so, on the Cut Content page, the Table of Contents is auto hidden due to how long it is.
Is that possible using what you said, incase I read it wrong?
read the last thing i said
on every page
__NOTOC__ ?
Oh . . . oh.
I know the solution--should I try to guess it right now or spend a minute finding the wiki I found it on?
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" data-expandtext="Open Table of Contents" data-collapsetext="Close Table of Contents">__TOC__</div>
personally i think if we auto collapse it people will not see the toc at all
And I just tested it on the wiki. It works.
Well, I will leave you to think about it. I must depart.
Well, the problem is the length of some of them.
it's either a tiny bit more scrolling for everyone or a ton more scrolling for less observant people
i prefer the former
besides if you didnt want it to be so long then you shouldnt have made an individual header for every single item
I mean, fair.
It's not really an issue of my tastes too much, I noticed some others chatting about the length before and I was thinking of ideas to help.
collapsing the toc is not a viable solution
I suppose.
@agile spindle I'm pretty sure the Visual Editor is default.
You press the edit button and it opens the page visual editor.
if it was the guy wouldn’t be complaining
Maybe he likes source edit better 
It's a bad copy / paste because he doesn't even know what he is doing.
Osht I accidentally clicked on it
what is it actually tho?
Nothing wiki related. But don't worry, even if you execute it, it does nothing. runas /noprofile /user:mymachine\administrator yourbatchfile.bat
what was it
- Does anyone know if oculus vr for this game supports touch controllers? 2. Is oculus vr compatible with the epic games store version of this game?
*talking about original subnautica NOT below zero
then go to #subnautica-chat
i did but they are having a seperate discussion
real helpful
This isn't something you ask here to be fair.
is it confirmed that the current frozen leviathan model is just a placeholder?
because if so then the frozen leviathan page should be peer reviewed
It is, and there was a checkin about that a few hours ago.
Should we have cut items on there relative list pages? Such as the Terraformer and Transfuser on the tools page in a separate section at the bottom of the page, linking to their respective articles on the Cut Content page?
no
Someone get Ventgarden coordinates
have you just not looked at #below-zero-chat at all in the past like 30 minutes
We need images for the ventgarden, if anyone's willing to take them.
good luck taking a good picture of it
Fair enough.
i'm hoping the recent checkin by sergey addresses some of the issues
none on the wiki, cant find on art station either
Sorry for the double edit on the OG wiki, didn't remember the table was there until I had already hit publish.
On the fauna page, there's a trivia about the cut fauna. Can I add small descriptions for all the more recent ones? Not many, just Bloom Plankton, the Rock Puncher, and the Large Bird.
@summer kindle (Sorry for the tag) What do you think?
Sure
Got it, thanks for answering.
uh
looks fine to me
it really REALLY wants you to know it's the fandom
I've noticed this on other wikis aswell, fandom really needs to get to fixing this.
It didn't load Qualaroo.scss, maybe the cdn server was overloaded at the time.
We've had several reports of this this morning. Our engineers are looking into why some users are seeing a broken page like this.
They're probably on firefox like Vee.
Because I have that problem on firefox but not on chrome, on the https://slot1-images.wikia.nocookie.net/__am/1558034982680/ link, firefox doesn't load it.
using chrome, i got that issue but an hour later it was fixed
To be clear, the edit I undid was just a random screenshot from under the Ventgarden, with the his obstructing the view, which is why I undid it.
Part of the methane ice caves is actually deep arctic which means the deep arctic is technically 710m deep, Im 99.78% sure this was a mistake with biome positioning.
Is there a list of all scannable items & blueprints? IE if I want to 100% a game
Blueprints are special schematics that are required to make certain advanced items in the game. They are discovered by finding the Data Boxes in the Degasi Seabases, Destroyed Lifepods and Wrecks...
use the wiki for these kinds of things
thank you 😃
This edit confuses me.
spaaaaace
🤔
Someone should update the spy penguin
I agree but before i complain more about the game I would like to say thank you for putting time into the game. It is hard to make a game this awesome and I think you did a good job
we dont make the game
I know but I don't know how to give a fan letter to game makers and this is close enough
Bigger solar things or a poop bar so you can eject loaded diapers into the bio reactor
What
What
I wholeheartedly share the same sentiments as these 2 gentlemen above me.
Same
y e s
I kinda of would rather have another game exploring kharaa or the precursors than a subnautica 3
We already have the NS games
Meh
I just want to learn more about kharaa and the precursors
And how the kharaa we know in Subnautica became what it is in Natural Selection
We dont know what planet kharaa is from
We dont know the exact number of planets it has infected
We dont know how it turned into the Kharaa in NS
it mutates
We got a fella
dont we already have mira
Wiki Managers are somewhat a bridge between us and her.
Well, I don't know if it's possible, but we should see about actually getting him in here.
It'd make conversing with him a bit easier.
It is possible, but it would mean sharing the link in public on the wiki.
True, maybe contact him through email?
Subnautica Wiki Discord | Community Central | FANDOM powered by Wikia
Now, it is less likely for the roleplayers on the wiki to find the Discord.
id really rather he not touch our css
We kinda already have a bot, don't we?
Is he really bringing anything new to the table?
no
If Flanqer uses something besides AutoWikiBrowser, then there is something new being brought to the table.
Otherwise--I guess we will have to wait and see.
what
Somebody is failing to update the entire system.
(I blame FANDOM for not being even greater than they already are at keeping this up-to-date)
This relates to the wiki because . . . ?
Why has nobody deleted this in over an hour
Too late now, but I could have let Flanqer know privately to join the Discord here (once he has an account). 😁 He is indeed meant to fulfill an in-between role between me and the community. He is there for everyday requests and questions you might have, I'm available for when that's not enough to resolve the issue. Will's article linked above pretty much sums it up
He's a paid staff member. Fandom has volunteers, too, but those work on international wikis that are not in English for the most part
A year ago or so, I put the Lifepod 5 screenshots in. In over a year, nobody has noticed I left a steam notification in one of them by accident. I'll try to remember to fix it when I get home.
why are you telling us if you plan to fix it
Because I didn't want to keep it to myself.
fun fact

So, on the subnautica wiki, it says the mountain Island is north of Lifepod 5, when that’s incorrect and apparently it’s past the bulb zone, which is east I believe. Just a heads up, I could still be wrong
Edit: I meant northeast
Edit: I’m wrong, ignore me guys

😖
I forgot to take the image.
this isn't the right room to ask for that
oh sorry
i didnt know it was alright to eat those guys
The top vent part of the ventgarden pushes you up about 10-20 meters. How could i put this information into the ventgarden page, would it fit under behaviour?
What's the cheat code for unlocking all blueprints in the game
ask in #subnautica-chat
unlockall
I did they said to ask here
tell them we said this isnt the place for questions
and it is unlock all not unlockall
well the wiki is wrong
Better fix it then 
i have not once used that command and it didn’t work in bz
they don’t remove commands so i highly doubt it works in sn
I am for certain it does, I've always used it.
Try it in game, I'm at school and cannot myself.
It was unlock all it worked
I uploaded the concept Cory released earlier to the page.
The caption I gave it sounds a slight bit off, so if anyone has a better one.
add it to concept art
Oh yes, got it.

fixed
Can we post gifs here or do those count as memes?
what kind of gif
A meme like gif so i guess not
Dunno
I uploaded it to Concept Art. Thanks for reminding me to do so, Tueman.
the t is lowercase
probably because it used to be all developer only screenshots
So should I move it to a new section, like "Photos"?
I'll just go ahead and do that.
hmm
weve done this before, just, look at a few other pages, the spinner fish page is one of them
and see how its separated the two categories.
I dont think that theres a consistency though on the tabber names throughout the different pages
there is consistency
I mean, until someone decided to call it "photos" like zero other pages on the wiki
looks like dino removed the picture anyway so its fine now
I called it photos because that's what it's called on the snowstalker page mate.
Literally I was trying to be consistent.
@agile spindle ^
Got it, I'll use that next time.
Anyone mind checking if the console command "nodamage" works on Subnautica?
I'm adding it as it appears on the Xbox's Gui but I want to make sure it isn't broken.
I also want to make sure it makes the player invincible, but I can't access a pc right now to check.
jes it works but it is "noDamage"
Thank you for checking.
did somebody put that on the page
because they're probably just coming in from the thermal spires
yes people keep insisting on adding it
looking at you anom
pretty sure i locked the page because of it but bip mightve unlocked it
i edited it
i guess they have never heard of placeholders
i don't know how to delete a category
so please help
are you in source edit?
yes
bottom right
thanks, done
@agile spindle Literally what are you blaming me for here?
putting boneshark on the tree spires page
I've not yet once touched that page.
The only recent things I've done is minor edits to section names and adding some concept art to the proper places.
Also the tree spires tree image is outdated
Which is why i added an updated one, why did you remove it?
Why did who remove one?
I added an updated trees spires tree image and you removed it
is there a reason in particular
yea
There, I re-added it.
I think you replaced the image after I had started editing and I accidently replaced it with the version before.
it's fine, it's all fixed now
what's going to happen with the new flora, when are the new pages going to be added?
whenever dino makes them
you can make shell pages now if you want but make sure you follow the format exactly
ill try
Dinofuzz here's a temp page for one of the flora but I've been having alot of trouble adding this to the flora page, could you add them?
It's the best i could do
ill fix it
in the future please name your images
soz
should we lift the ban on bugs on the SN wiki
we could start incorporating them into pages
why
maybe if it was like
dangerous bugs
elder scrolls does all bugs
we would be spending 12 years and every page would be a mile long
i mean
we would only add the more well-known bugs
and obviously we'd limit it to reproducible bugs
Why can't I edit glow whale?
because people kept adding it to tree spires and i got pissed
But it does spawn in the tree spires, right?
no
What is it spawning in then?
lilypads
Ive also found a few peepers in tree spires, are they from lilypads?
yes
I can refer y'all to the Fallout wiki, which has a section just before Trivia that lists bugs with a platform icon to show what platforms the issues are on.
Here's an example on the page for the quest "Reunions"
There's only so many because this game is a buggy mess.
As for the time it would take, I'd be willing to verify as many as I can on Subnautica OG if it is decided to do this.
So uhm, Can anyone explain to me what the wiki discussion is for? Just wondering
discussing the wiki
I am in favor of having bugs listed on the wiki, although it would probably be best to use a protected template to display them.
I would agree on that. If it wasn't protected in some way, people would just add random bugs that only happened a single time.
Anybody seen the comment on the RAdiation page on the wiki?
Ryley is not dying of cancer now. He IS cancer
ok
ok interesting
im surprised that the only wiki staff that has commented on the bugs thing is vee
oh i guess he did
You barely even moderate the SN wiki
I know what I'm doing well enough to keep the bugs sections high quality
There hasn't been too much groundbreaking new stuff to put on the wiki
I know I don't fully count as a staff to most here, but I'd be willing to manage a bugs section if given permission.
And I only ever go on the wiki to edit pages
I honest wouldnt mind a bug section
And if we did it of course.
There's too many bugs it'd be like 50 pages worth
Yeah
Just focus on bugs that are important
Like falling through terrain with prawn
Not if we keep it limited to reproducible bugs
Deconstructioning a moonpool that has a docked vehicle
many bugs are reproducible
We could set a limit-per-page of bugs.
Bugs should just focus on things that can damage save files or result in lost of major items like the prawn
Like limit of 10 bugs per page or so if it really gets that bad.
And what Terran said.
It'd be useful to know what can break your game.
i think you guys overestimate how many reproducible, noticeable bugs there are
And it is useful to know about bugs that can result in you losing items
That would help, yea.
@agile spindle Why is all the random stuff only ever posted on your wall
because im the most active admin
That makes sense.
Prepare to be chewed out by the wiki keepers
if youre not gonna be on topic go to #off-topic
Hey, sorry to bother, but are we planning on actually adding the Bugs section, or does it need to be debated more?
Not trying to rush, just curious.
Understandable, I shall wait for his comment then. Thank you for the answer, sir.
why are you talking like that
Like what?
"shall" and "sir"
Well, I use words like Shall because they sound better, and I refer to you as Sir because I see you as an authorative figure, just as I see everyone else on the team.
why
Because I think of my peers as higher than me.
Oh, okay. My apologies.
I like being on topic
Brute sharks, arrow rays and hoopfish now spawn in treespires
And red feather fish
The page is protected btw
so unprotect it 
What about Spy penguin & Spy penguin remote fragments mentioned in glacial basin
I don't see any thing mentioning them on the page
so add it
Also this is interesting https://favro.com/organization/35200a08dbbad85b26102638/0d9378db42299691bb14c708?card=Unk-4635
That’s kinda cool, actually
Yeah. Now people have there 4th priority. Shelter.
@heady gulch what do you think of lifting the ban on bugs on the SN wiki?
@gaunt igloo are you annoyed by a survival game?
i’ve got templates to deal with it set up already
Pardon? Bugs?
Yea, a lot of people want a bugs section.
yea currently we don’t allow bugs to be put on the wiki but i think it’s time to allow them
obviously just bugs that can be reproduced consistently
Well I think it would overflow honestly.
You would have people probably posting the same bug but saying “oh well it did so and so different than so and so’s report so I’ll put it in anyways.”
we can determine what bugs can go on the wiki
Alright. The other thing is if bugs are patched constantly in experimental updates, we’ll have to remove them. And peolple not running that experimental version will complain and put the bugs back up. Unless someone constantly keeps track of what bugs are removed and lists the experimental version it was removed in.
It’s too much strain and effort.
is the experimental version actually different still?
Certain bugs are still there and have been for ages, like the Prawn Falling Through Terrain bug.
An alternative, I’m thinking rn. I’m not sure. I haven’t played Subnautica in months. And I plan on getting a lot more engaged with the wiki once school is over in a few days. But an alternative could be a protected page, users can post the bug in the comments following set up parameters for reporting it. We put up any current bugs. Categorize the pages under things like fauna, mechanics, etc.
Let’s say the prawnsuit is causing issues, in the trivia put a link to the page on bugs and the category the prawnsuit’s issue falls under.
Just a rough idea
like a page called “Bugs” or “Prawn Suit/Bugs”?
I think just a bugs section is better tbh, but it's up to y'all.
I like the way the Fallout wiki does it.
^
A page called active bugs. Always has to be kept up to date. For linking pages to the active bugs page, use a link to the paragraph the bug falls under so it would be easier to find it. I don’t think a category on Page of said afflicted item, mechanic, fauna. Or vehicle would be necessary though. I haven’t seen how the fallout wiki handles that
Alright. That should do it. Will all bugs be put in? Minor ones included? And how will we log if a bug is patched up or not.
it has to be consistently reproducible
Alright, i think it’ll work
i also modified the {{Bugs}} template from the ES wiki to dump at the start of each section
By the way, for that template, I'd suggest kinda condensing it a little.
Later I'm going to start a reorganization of the Concept Art page on the Subnautica OG wiki to more match the Below Zero wiki's page, if that is fine.
Okay, so if art kinda goes in the same category yet starts with different letters (they're currently alphabetical) should I move them together or keep them alphabetical?
I'm mostly reffering to the Aurora Interior and Aurora Exterior arts being split by the Degasi.
alphabetically by general subject
aurora is a general subject, degasi is another, etc etc
Ah, got it, thank you.
If they are general subjects, then why are they in #📚wiki-discussion and not #off-topic ?
(It was a jok)--nevermind.
Terribly sorry, I'm very slow lmao.
Would "Aurora Debris (1-2)" be counted as Wreck Concept Art or Aurora Concept Art?
wreck
Got it, thanks again.
Should we split Technology into Vehicles, Tools, and Equipments since theirs so much, or leave it as one big one?
leave it
Got it.
Would the Hanging Warper go under Disease Research Facility or stay near the bottom in a kind of Technology section?
either one it doesnt matter
Thank you kindly.
Well, I uploaded the edit.
If anyone wants to revise it and make sure I didn't screw up somewhere (I probably did) please do so.
I shortened the {{Bugs}} template if you wanna start using it
personally i can only think of like one or two bugs total lol but knock yourself out
So does that mean start making them?
I can playtest afterschool tomorrow (we get out at 1:42) and I'll be able to playtest to all hell to find bugs.
sure
You are typing.
Are we still waiting for bips approval to actually push them to the wiki or is it alrady clear? Sorry if I'm repeating myself, I just want to be sure.
Yes I am.
i think its fine
Works for me I suppose.
By the way, I'm still terribly confused, where can I look up templates?
/wiki/Template:Bugs
Would it be okay if I re-added the black background and fixed the first sentence? I liked that background.
Oh, okay.
Oh, I see, the template was just messed up on it's page alone.
Nevermind, I was wrong about the first sentence.
Do I put a bugs section before or after trivia?
after
Thank you.
Should we do something similar to the Fallout Wiki with a verified message beside verified bugs, or no since that's already mentioned in the bug template message?
no
Got it, thanks.
https://subnautica.fandom.com/wiki/Subnautica_Wiki?useskin=wikiamobile is not looking very good.
no one looks at the front page anyway
You count as a negative person, so the one other dude that did too is negated by you.
😂
i mean, what is wrong with it? you say its not good, but give us context.
its alright by me. but guess my opinion is irrelevant, i am not a content creator.
@cinder kestrel
The only ones who can fix it are the administrators.
and content mods, which you are
For the bug labels, could we use more visually appealing labels like tiny images that show what platform while also looking nice? Such as a tiny icon of the Windows logo for PC or a small Xbox logo for Xbox?
if you can upload them
I'll upload them in a bit, but I ain't keen on template making.
literally just make the template be the link
a template just dumps the content of its own page wherever it’s called
so if the content of Template:Bugs is just [[Bugs]] then that’s exactly what will show up
I see, that makes sense. Thanks.
How does that look @agile spindle?
Apple logo looks a little off though, so I may need to fix that, but the others.
how does what look
I uploaded the logos, check the Lifepod page.
they’re kinda small
They are meant to be, but if you want the bigger, I can increase the size. They're at 12px rn.
do that
Make them bigger?
yes
Oh, okay. Any size in particular?
just bigger
yes
separate
Not like combine the logos.
Oh ok
🖥 I was thinking something like this if we did.
I'll fix the Apple icon later
Ventgarden page still needs some screenshots. If nobody plans to do that, I'll be home at about 2pm pst and probably'll do it then.
For clarification, is this a Ventgarden breathing?
I don't want to put false information in the caption of an image.
@summer kindle
I wouldn’t say so
