elder scrolls wiki does it like that for basically everything
its a lot of disambiguation but easy to navigate
fair, but i still think it would be confusing for people who just picked up the game. Plus people have done so much work on the BZ wiki as a seprate wiki it would be odd to suddenly switch it all up
well with the gamepedia merge its actually a pretty good time
if we have to end up fixing a few templates n such itd be better to fix them only on one wiki than having to do everything twice
Will a mod suffice
Unless they mean for the wiki
Truuueee, was about to ask why they brought that up in here. Good point.
If it's not wiki-related you can just take it to #off-topic
Also is there a spawn ID for the void chelicerate
Not that Iâm aware of
Fallout wiki manages a combined game wiki fine
But since Subnauticas player base is smaller, and itâs not owned by a really popular company, itâs def harder to sort a combined wiki
thereâs also the fact that
uhh
to put this nicely, a lot of the SN fan base is younger and isnât exactly the best at absorbing information
So merging the wikis would affect the abilities of the readers to understand the information?
there would definitely be a lot of people confused on what is in what game
But since Subnauticas player base is smaller, and itâs not owned by a really popular company, itâs def harder to sort a combined wiki
If this means that combining the wikis will involve a lot of work, I'll agree. However, I prefer to think of that as a very small reason.
children are already confused by things being on different wikis
we see people posting BZ stuff on the SN wiki a lot
and if people cant read a disambiguation notice at the top of a page there's already not much we can do to help them
Where do you get the databank entries?
language files or transcribe them from ingame if you dont know how to find those
Ah, thanks
https://subnautica.fandom.com/wiki/Cut_Content?diff=next&oldid=347913
I know that one is American (and others) and the other spelling is British (and others), but which one was the default spelling before it was cut?
Aluminum oxide I believe.
Oh, oof, I changed that
Wait, hold on, Aluminum is for the generic ruby. The large resources deposit is referred to as DrillableAluminiumOxide in the language files, my bad.
Thats just confusing
Aluminum is for the generic ruby
That, plus the fact the Ruby data bank is American and how we prefer not to use technical names as general names (hence why I don't think the large resource deposit name applies here), is why I think we should go with Aluminum.
Somebody should update the Al-An page, theres some new lore about his back-story in the fab base
ah yes
the bad lore
fair point, but still, lore is lore
LORE IS LORE XD
Why would someone change lore
Peepers are tastiest
maybe talk about this in a diffrent chat pls
#đwiki-discussion is pretty high up in the channel listing; if decided to ask staff to move it down (maybe in Community & Creative?), we might get less off-topic stuff here.
or we can make it wiki keeper only just as god intended
If we intend to stay as keepers of the wiki for the next hundred years, I have no objection to that.
...ok
Just use a reactions bot to allow chatting in here. That way you can ensure everyone knows this isnt a general chat
honestly despite the fact it would effect me i think that there idea is proably the best option
Just use a reactions bot to allow chatting in here. That way you can ensure everyone knows this isnt a general chat
That would eliminate some people.
Another option is to make this channel link to a Subnautica Wiki Discord.
why not both
that would be the most dead server ever
oh yeah, it totally would
hey was this moved?
No?
nevermind it disappered for me for a small while
Honestly though a wiki server might be helpful
but if the devs are willing to have a chat just for wiki keepers in here I guess that could also work
I see what you mean, that way you could have a channel of community suggestions, but also one that isnât constantly being spammed
I can see that working very well actually
its for the chat you r typing in right now
if wiki keepers could moderate this channel somehow that would be nice
but barring others from it seems counterproductive to me
A layout one wiki server uses.
The one for minecraft.gamepedia.com (not including the category fo channels in other languages).
Honestly I think that's too specific for this
we'd only need like, a couple at most
why's this image so small
idk found it on the images and it was that size
the images where?
when i searched for âexchanger rocketâ on the wiki
in images
think its an old pic
I just found it and it's not that size
also why not just use that image?
Instead of reuploading it
idk why it was that size lol, and i proably just did it some way that caused it, sry
Xeno fixed it
so i have a image for the crash zone/cut content page
its one of the removed ILZC entrances
Did we get rid of the BZ music page? I feel like since we have the track names on the biomes we should have somewhere with a full list, even if there isn't any sound
Done
ok
I finally decided to take another at subnautica.gamepedia.com .
I wouldn't say we're combined, though.
đ
at least yâallâs merger process probably ainât as bad as Falloutâs merge process
Or World of Warcraft's, although that was a while back.
oh god
At least, I thought they merged. And yes, they were two huge wikis.
why didnt the admins of both wikis combine forces
Back when the wikis were first being founded? Not sure.
I think they had different focuses, but ditto.
so how does fandom decides who runs the merged wiki
The admins figure it out.
For example, we decided to exclude everyone from subnautica.gamepedia.com unless they worked as a regular contributor and rose in the ranks that way.
The [community at large, including] admins [of both wikis] figure it out.
That's more accurate, I hope.
Another example: currently, in sounds like the admins of minecraft.fandom.com will be "transferred to a new working environment with a positive reference" but otherwise will be treated the same as everyone else if/when they merge with minecraft.gamepedia.com.
with subnautica its easier cause the gamepedia never really got anywhere
Yes.
Migrations should begin next week.
The global notice regarding the start of remaining migrations from Gamepedia legacy to Gamepedia on the UCP is going live NOW. / Please note that migrations begin next week and will be completed within a matter of weeks.
So subnautica below zero need help to translate???
I can translate to estonian
:P
So subnautica below zero need help to translate???
@floral grove Not necessarily for all languages
But you can always help (#below-zero-info)
Also this is wiki discussion and is not the right channel
I can translate in hindi
can you translate "wrong channel"?
I can think of one wiki that is the main translation hub (as opposed to the game makers or a third fan group organizing the translation process). We are not that wiki.
Why must they do this.......
do what
I know.... it still hurts
I just dislike people who call it the Void Leviathan and apply that to pages, becuase I know they got it from clickbait youtubers and such
Isnt that what the devs call it though?
void chelicerate
yes, just found the card https://favro.com/organization/35200a08dbbad85b26102638/0d9378db42299691bb14c708?card=Unk-11294
HII
Oh
and iirc it can spawn in any part of the lost river
||Inside a ghost Levi?||
..no
Why are you posting that in #đwiki-discussion
Of course it is smh
Cuddlefish Leviathan
gave him a 1-day
Did we ever add those old fish school tests to the wiki? With the early models and all that?
should this be included in the Grabcrab's Cut Content section?
a crab that grab
so new creature?
i doubt its new if its cut content
the grabcrab was probably in the game before the crabsquid and crabsnake
it's a hella old thing
OlD
Snip snip
I would like to see Grabcrab again in BZ
they aren't adding anymore fauna 
Oookay
Grab Crabs technically are in BZ
yeah. they started out as these and then became Sea Monkeys
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmhttps://subnautica-belowzero.fandom.com/wiki/BLLAH
w h a t
"The Lava Lizard, the Stalker and the reaper leviathan are the only creatures in Subnautica that don't emit Bioluminescence."
who the hell wrote that on the lava lizard page
reaper has bioluminescene thing
-.-
fixed it ^
I like how there are images for the bloom plankton in the Bioluminescence page even though they are cut
Do you like it, though?
That was a joke
Itâs confusing why it would appear in it
one quick question: does the reaper really glow or it's bioluminescence glowing got cut?
idk how u guys test it cuz the boys keep on editing it :/
The same way they get the screenshots.
See https://subnautica.fandom.com/wiki/Subnautica_Wiki:Guidelines for information on how that is done.
i mean, i know how to edit on wiki and i have edited multiple pages, but im just not sure if reapers still glow or nah
That was supposed to be the connection I made.
And then the guidelines will tell you how they get the screenshots (which also lets you test for bioluminescence).
Yup they glow
They're just kinda invisible on lower graphic and also hard to see
But they're bioluminescence
Is it possible to add a subcategory such as carnivores or herbivores to all the fauna using a bot?
yea just ask sls
yes SLSbot can do that
K thanks
I won't be at my computer for another 48 hours or so, so if you really want it done quickly, you'll have to do it yourself.
Otherwise, I have one question: how do I know which are herbivores and which are carnivores? Is there something on the article itself that says this, or . . . ?
Can the Wiki page for the Symbiote say "No, this will not turn you into a Gua'old"?
no
had to search up that refrence lol
Check out this Discussion post on Fandom https://subnautica.fandom.com/d/p/4400000000000002924
this is insane lmao
I love it
Next time, I recommend using the built-in Report feature in Discussions.
I think the quality of the cropping reflects how much I care.
you know looking back at it my icon system is completely pointless
its much easier for everyone if you just edit the icons together into a png
weather stays the same throughout the entire map what
Not true, some places have specific weather or mild weather
This is referring to the Lilypad Islands
I still say those'd be cool with like, snow or something on top of them
What about it hurts your brain?
Iâm just not used to yet
It is time rename all the plants on the wiki
Also, with what Tueman said about having the icons as two different pictures, it doesnât work well on mobile as the background and item appear separate
Thatâs what it looks like on the copper page
i dont know how i feel about these
I feel the same. Why are they there in the first place? Those fake arrows in the Tall Cyan Flower Orange and the Tape Plant are just bad.
oh GOD i just looked at the wiki for the first time today
why is it all so hideous
who thought this
was better than this
You're comparing Special:WikiActivity to Special:RecentChanges (the former is removed in UCP).
well either way
WikiActivity was better than RecentChanges
this is how cozy vs compact discord feels
The new thing is kinda nice though cause you can separate the comments, edits and image activity
this is how cozy vs compact discord feels
For this analogy, Cozy doesn't include the ability to add a reaction, quickly quote it, mark as unread, copy a link to the message, or speak it out loud, but Compact does. WikiActivity has a lot more functionality than RecentChanges.
As for the given reason for its removal (according to https://community.fandom.com/wiki/Help:WikiActivity):
@lusty hearth You said that renaming the articles is the bane of our existence. Fortunately, renaming pages using a bot (SLSbot) is a lot quicker than doing it in the browser. However, bots can only move pages if they're administrators (something that @agile spindle can solve).
Epic
Another option is to use Bart's Digi-Training on me to teach me PyWikiBot (another bot software which I do not yet know how to use and requires some knowledge of Python). That program might not require bots to be admins to move articles.
Making SLSbot an admin (my own creation, greater than I) is the easiest option if you don't want to rename the articles yourself.
crisis averted
it's kinda weird how squished it is though, compared to this
woah big text box hours
Um, anyone know why Iâm seeing it like this?
Any page I view is squished to the left
Wait, SLSbot is already an administrator.
But I think I know what I'm doing wrong.
Previously on Fandom, you could take your bot software and simply enter your bot's credentials to log in. Now, you have to log in with your bot account on the website, use https://subnautica-belowzero.fandom.com/wiki/Special:BotPasswords to generate login credentials, and use those generated credentials in your software.
no I don't think that was a minute from now
I guess I was too late to use the bot.
I dont know if Its just because it decided to use an Ipad today, but why did the new wiki stuff break so many gallerys and tabbers?
Some of it had to do with certain things in the code being renamed.
honestly if i could i would just revert to the og wiki editing
If I had unlimited time and energy, I'd explain everything wrong about that suggestion.
can somebody tell fandom to bring back WikiActivity because i hate RecentChanges
idk just gotta get used to it i guess
I'm going to make up this example, but MediaWiki:Wikia.css changed the appearance of the infobox.style element, but in UCP, that's infobox.appearance. That's one thing that would be temporarily broken.
oh and also Wiki Activity is soooooooo much better
og wiki editing
Exactly how far back do you think that is?
wiki activity is nicer on the eyes but recent changes is better overall
just before the recent update like yesterday
everyone who edited on gamepedia is already used to recent changes
Because Gamepedia uses more original stuff than Fandom did.
i have never touched gamepedia in my life
"Original" being "from Wikipedia" in this case.
This is the editor introduced in 2017 (unless I'm confusing something with something else).
is it bad i prefer that
Not necessarily.
But given the same amount of time you had with that editor (in my case, 3 1/2 years--which puts me in 2024), you'll probably get used to the latest one and prefer it over the 2017 editor.
i mean why did the subnautica wiki not get updated to this
That is a good question.
maybe theyre going smaller up
It could be that some of these were used on one wiki but not on the other.
i understand achievements in that list..........thats all
I could also try pinging our Wiki Manager, @neon mesa , to see if he knows why the Below Zero wiki is currently on UCP while the Subnautica wiki is currently not.
I mean will it be more like just getting answers or reverting the editing to the orignal?
theyre not reversing it
The ping will just get us an answer, but I think I know something about the editor.
theyre making these changes to the entire website
oh
In the meantime, I'll say that they've been planning this for months and months now.
Yeah, iâll just miss the other edting
the new editor gives me ptsd because its so similar to visual editor
lol true
youre just bad
source is great
I could also try to blame everyone for not knowing about UCP and its changes because there was a notice on the wiki for a few weeks, but experience has taught me that sort of thing doesn't work as an excuse.
tueman if you're on the same side as chillax that means you're on the losing side
bruh
Not necessarily the losing side.
even a broken clock is right twice a day
B R U H
ive never seen a 24 hour clock sls
B. R. U. H.
Basically, take all twelve numbers on a regular clock and double them (and maybe insert odd numbers between the evens).
if you dont include the odds then its not a 24 hr clock
Huh thought that was just a weird saying
its just a 12 hr clock that skips some numbers
i mean it kinda depends on your definintion of broken, because if a clock is 1 minute off the real time, then technically it will never be right that day
How about a digital clock?
like i said depends on your defintion
ok what if a clock is broken, gets the time right once, then works before the second one until the day ends then breaks once more.
Itâs not on the sn wiki though
it is on the BZ wiki
Very confusing
now they get to see my suffering with the SL wiki
Suffering...
At least you donât have to deal with a squished view
I mainly mean recent edits
Oof
Wait, thatâs the new one, right?
yeah, what I showed is what fandom is using
they are updating their software to latest mediawiki
so recent edits is now looking like they do on other wiki services
One thing thatâs nice is that I can actually edit on phone now
I trust you all realize why updating to the latest MediaWiki version is important . . . ?
guess what bug this update brought back
I have no idea
this is why SL wiki doesnt use fandom
What ever happened to that dev run wiki...
For the sn wiki
sniff, so beautiful
That's what happens when you make really tall stuff in its own--<div>?
At least, that's my guess.
it isnt in a div
and it is fine on bip's blog
I wonder if fandom can make their wikis not squished one day
The sn one is fine for me, but the bz wiki...
since like a big chunk of the screen is empty space
when not squished looks better imo
I keep going to hit the edit button and end up in visuel editor
We should probably fix that... for the 500 pages there are
no joke why does the editor take like 5 minutes to load compard to the instant load from the old one
Because it doesnât redirect you to a different page would be my guess
wouldnt redircting take longer?
No idea
The Fandom/Gamepedia Discord (https://community.fandom.com/wiki/Discord) is probably a better place to discuss the failings (or lack thereof) of the UCP.
I could also try pinging our Wiki Manager, @neon mesa , to see if he knows why the Below Zero wiki is currently on UCP while the Subnautica wiki is currently not.
@cinder kestrel
They're separate wikis, so it just turned out that one wiki made it into one batch of migrations, and the other will be included in a separate batch in the near future. All wikis (Subnautica wiki included) will eventually migrate into the UCP as well.
There's two people engaging in an edit war on the Wrecks page on the Subnautica wiki
Um the css may still be broken, the collapseables are all white now
beautiful
Frozen Leviathan confirmed alive
Source? Because the wiki has four to say otherwise.
It was a joke lol
Makes me wonder what would happen IF the Frozen Leviathan wasn't trapped in the Ice and did break out of it
It would break out of #đwiki-discussion and go to #below-zero-chat .
Welp
if we delete the wiki anthomnias channels dies from lack of content
im willing to take the blow who else
Just have to rename it to not-below-zero and then he can never make a clickbait BZ video again
just restrict all pages to admins
We're reaching the point where the suggestions are becoming more possible--and where I might have to explain why they're terrible (and impossible).
well at least anthomnia has moved off of frolo now
There's two people engaging in an edit war on the Wrecks page on the Subnautica wiki
@lucid wedge
Looks like the one user didn't follow the reference/link. It looks like they've stopped for now, and the page currently says the correct info.
Sorry. Less than 24 hours to respond is quick for me. lol
What page is that?
I already fixed it
wrong chat
I tried to put that in a friends discord, my mistake.
Mouth
Cyclops Sheild Generator is in one recepie
The neptune cockpit
Its not shown on thr upgrade
None
You know you can edit the wiki, right
They have an app?
Yes
Just use the website on google or safari and request the desktop site
can someone fact check this batch of edits
My boi tueman
who keeps doing this???
The images that are displayed for each article, or another problem?
they keep getting changed to frolo
they're all switched now, not sure if it's a bug or someone's deliberately changing them
it can't be a bug because it shows up on multiple pages like this
It still can, although I don't know why the imagefor the Leviathan Class Organisms would suddenly change.
yeah i'm just saying it's unlikely it's a bug
The Subnautica: Below Zero page icon has changed again but the rest remain as the frolo.
its a bug
do you know what causes the bug?
fandom being mediocre
So I want to start editing the wiki. Any tips?
Howâs your grammar
University level
That definitely sounds above average for the wiki.
Thatâs very true
Before you start editing may I suggest reading the help pages and the guidelines
https://subnautica.fandom.com/wiki/Help:Contents for more detailed info
Ok, ill have a read of those over thanksgiving (I am Canadian)
Barring Subnautica Wiki:Guidelines, they'll also set you up for effective editing on any wiki on Fandom.
Yeah, most of this is pretty bulk standard. Some HTML stuff, some other custom code as well
Yeah if you donât know wiki text already, you should probably learn it, itâs pretty straight forward
Yeah
if you have questions just ask in here
do bioreactors ever stop working? one of mine says active but isnt giving power
Would making a generic Game Mechanics page be ok? Not something that goes into alot of detail, but something that covers everything in a enough detail for the new player. With links to the normal pages of course
do bioreactors ever stop working? one of mine says active but isnt giving power
@old wind Its best to ask questions in the relevant game channels. #subnautica-chat and #below-zero-chat. Note that BZ chat is a spoiler chat.
both chats are spoiler chats
Yeah, but SN has been out for long enough to not consider it spoilers
that doesn't make any sense 
^
It makes sense to me.
Yeah, but SN has been out for long enough to not consider it spoilers
While Subnautica is out and nothing new will be released for it, Below Zero is still in development, so people who are behind the updates (e.g., haven't played for two months or don't have the Betas enabled) might be spoiled. The spoilers are "what's new to the game."
both chats are spoiler chats
This is the correct interpretation. In both games, there are stories that are not revealed immediately to the player. A player might only be 10% of the way through the story in either game while another player knows absolutely everything. The spoilers are "information about the stories and other content."
What's with the Seatruck Thruster Upgrade. Is it cut, or not? I am very confused.
I believe it sits with SchrĂśdinger's cat right now...
I've been thinking about how a Subnautica Wiki Discord would compare to what we currently have. Here's some thoughts I had:
- It would give us more options in what we want to do and make them easier to implement. If we wanted one Wiki Keeper-only channel, we could ask the staff of the Subnautica Discord server and they might give it to us. If we want three exclusive channels, we probably wouldn't get them (which makes sense). On the other hand, in a Subnautica Wiki Discord, we could add new channels in seconds ourselves and we could add whatever we wanted without being limited by the fact that we're in a Discord Server shared by everyone involved in Subnautica.
- It would reduce the number of off-topic messages. #đwiki-discussion is about the wiki; other channels are better for asking about the game. If wiki people want to help answer the questions of others (I'm currently not one of them), they can help in the other channels.
- It would facilitate more conversations at once. If JimBob and NameGenerator want to talk about grammar on some articles and Ubnau and Utic want to discuss improving a template, they wouldn't have to interrupt each other or go to DMs; we could have two (or more) channels set up.
- Linking to one Server from another Server is a method that we already know works. #subnautica-modding is an example of this.
a separated wiki-discord works great for minecraft when you have an active editor base but for subnautica we have like, 5 active editors tops
A counter to this is to make a wiki category. This category would be under the management of the wiki keepers. This would allow for any of the wiki keepers to add and remove the channels without needing to ask the normal admins. This can also allow for all the issues currently plaguing this channel. having a wiki category that starts with a wiki-information channel, then two help channels (one for each game). Then any of the other channels that the wiki keepers need
i dont think discord offers that kind of functionality
It does
yea you can kinda do that
I manage two largish servers. That is one of the things I do all the time
a separated wiki-discord works great for minecraft when you have an active editor base but for subnautica we have like, 5 active editors tops
I'm in a couple of other Wiki Discords that have small editor bases (small if you ignore all of the random editors who either do very little or don't join the Discord) and the Discord Server is still an effective tool for us.
Wondering if this is just a problem with me, but on all pages the sound players are broken.
this only happens on the BZ wiki.
another "fandom being mediocre" bug as tueman would describe?
Just reading this https://community.fandom.com/wiki/Help:Audio seems like the formatting has changed
Hang on, i've found a page that works.
Do the sounds load on this page for you too?
hmm
Im guessing all sounds will need to be updated
This is a very odd bug... Some pages are completely broken, some work for all except one.
what happened here
how many times has it changed lol
interesting
it loads properly, then loads like that...
when you preview the page in the source editor, it loads properly
Fandom just needs to get good, then everything will work out fine
insert doggo gitgud emoji here
Aw, I donât have nitro so I canât use it here
Fandom just needs to get good, then everything will work out fine
Does Unknown Worlds need to "get good" to fix bugs in its games?
yes
insert doggo gitgud emoji here
@burnt canopy

uwu
oh yo i just realized the art room got archived
oh yo i just realized the art room got archived
@long locust indeed
also this is wiki chat
lol
i did a dumb
Great the sn wikis being transferred over too
All wikis on Fandom eventually will.
Just quickly, how do I edit a page without the tabber undoing itself
Carefully
Whenever i edit a page in anyway, the tabbers just undo themselves, and âcarefullyâ is not seeming to work
tabbers are pretty garbo
Wdym undoing
i mean turning from organized sections, to a single line on bullet points
ÂŻ_(ă)_/ÂŻ
Wiki keepers, could one of you state right here that advice is for blog posts?
advice is for blog posts and comments
Thx
and the one guide page we make on each wiki
@agile spindle permission to make the sea dragon leviathan page protected temporarily to stop baselerson from messing with it anymore
theyve been at it for a while
đ
if its just one person give them a warning, then a block if they continue
What does he keep adding/removing back?
hes been adding cliff notes on how to kill the seadragon
Because he thinks he and his âedit squadâ are right
sigh
It's a Subnautica Wikipedia, not a bestiary from The Witcher smh
exactly
also should i add a note on the giveaway items page that they no longer work in game?
if thats the case
i dont know what version it was changed in though. my only guess is a recent update made them unusable.
right
if anyone has special edition let me know if they can build the special edition hullplate
or for that matter. any hullplate.
okay uhh more important note...
@agile spindle sorry form more pinging but.. which of the wiki keeprs knows the site formatting well?
me depending on what youre talking about
use source editor
whats supposed to be under gallery?
the section about marla, unsual doll 2, jack sceptic eye tank, all its pertaining information, as well as the sceptic eye tank recipe.
its visible in the source editor but if you view the page normally its entirely absent
go ahead and give him a 3-day
am i able to do that as a content moderator? like i dont see an option on their profile
hm i guess not
Moderators cannot directly block users. For more information on user rights, see https://subnautica.fandom.com/wiki/Help:User_Rights.
fair enough lol
They are?
mhm, my guess is either they are here inactive or just joined not too long ago. no message history on the server
Ah
if he decides to be unruly here though, mm im sure the discord ban will be a lot longer than 3 days
id rather you not try to start arguments in here xeno
fair but, i feel it would be a better idea if we get all this, trouble, cleared up here in the presence of wiki admins instead of on the wiki.
But gotcha.
want me to end the discussoin with him on the wiki though? he's giving a lot of grief on the message wall.
The IP block (which is what would keep everyone in the school from posting) lasts for only 24 hours.
Thats seems like a weird way to do it, but I see the reasoning
Bippity might?
bip is probably busy
Probably
i still need someone to check to see if the special edition hullplate works or not.
considering every other hullplate and redeemed item no longer can be built.
I do not.
dang
my mans said you were acting like a child lmao
i called him an unruly fetus.
That doesn't sound very nice.
I mean fair but a child could not come up with that
Insulting 101
I mean fair but a child could not come up with that
I disagree (not necessarily from experience).
yeah i know it wasn't very nice.
anyways I'll let him know what you said about the ip block. you sure it'll only last 24 hours? hes block for 3 days
The automatic IP block is only 24 hours; his username/account is blocked for however long was specified (in this case, three days).
the wonders of new wiki users
And they call themselves the âogâ squad
because shouting at fellow wiki peers sure sounds like og to me
they think theyâve been on the wiki for a long time
i don't genuinely care how long they've been on the wiki.
And yet
there are users who have been there since people saw the world like a 1940s staticy film reel who were obnoxious pricks and made it their job to cause trouble.
Thereâs always going to be buttheads in this world
yeah, thats a fact of life.
Theoretically, with a finite number of humans, it's possible for that to be false.
If we go back in time far enough, it's probably false.
some users just engage in arguements over who's ego is larger pretty much and act like they are tough stuff in a place they dont need too
like. does minecraft gamepedia have to put up with this kind of crap?
Probably
I can almost guarantee it, but their admins have--more professional behavior? More experienced responses? Not sure.
Some form of that that doesn't sound rude.
Theyâre a big time wiki
yeah well minecraft gamepedia is kind of a standing totem of how to make a proper informational archive
because of how clean and in-depth they are
I really need to shrink down those icons in the bugs section
they're so overly massive on the wiki activity page lmao
wait we have a bugs page?
Well donât worry wiki activity will be deleted soon
no we have a bugs sections on multiple pages
I just added it to the T and X compartments
I even remember reporting that bug twice about a year ago but it still hasn't been fixed, so I decided just to add it
Cause they were cut?
.3.
I found them in the crag field when i played subnautica like a couple days ago.
dropped a diamond,
then i had to go back and hunt for another one since i needed 2 to build a laser cutter
wait you tellin me they still in the game
Um, shale?
wait
I'm like 99% sure they were cut
ohh nvm

makes sense
also speaking of which
note, we need some better pics of the shale outcrops
like. we got these 2 tiny pics of one in bulb zone and in tree mushrooms
poor lighting
WHATIS THIS ANCIENT IMAGE IN CRAG FIELD
oh god it was made by gush, of course it was
why is it so small
thats not even- the right model for the shale outcrop XD
okay actually
we need a full image overhaul of the crag zone
these images are so old theres dust on them
using the oldmodels
Argh, that deposit is so old
i cant run games right now so
Alright, I'm loading up a creative game, I'll get some pictures
if anyone got the time to take up the mantle and get some picutes i'll scouge through the list of photos needing replacement and biomes
main page image is fine
Screen Shot 2017-02-26 at 18.46.53.png needs to be replaced (crag field)
i- i dont rememberm the guidelines might say something about photographs
Screen Shot 2017-02-26 at 18.png needs to be replaced (crag field)
Screen Shot 2017-02-26 at 19.06.39.png this bland piece of nature should be removed
like, the audio files
h m m m
lemme check that real quick might be my fault
"Screen Shot 2017-02-26 at 19.12.18.png" This one is semi okay??? like. but. if we gonna have fauna pics, get something with more fauna in it and a better look.
i cant believe we're still cleaning gush's mess 3 years later
The audio is broken now on bz, so itâs only a matter of time before it breaks on the the sn wiki
Screen Shot 2017-03-02 at 16.45.34.png this one is- wait nvm theres an old outcrop in here. i like the framing though, if you can try to get something similaar
xdcer I'll just replace all the ones Gush did
hills on both sides, valley in the middle, not a bad photo location tbh.
i can take screenshots if you guys need any
as much as i dislike gush i kinda miss him
@muted canopy do you got subnautica special edition
no
damnmoit
You could ask the dev team
mmmmmmm i uh dont wanna approach them about that .3.
i think my friend has special edition but i doubt that the hard drive it is on still works
also in the same page this audio file doesnt match the text
Bulb zone. "Bulb Zone (13)" needs replacement, resolution too low
yyeah
make sure to double check wiki guidelines about image editing though
we are very specific about it
No, it must be 2000000p
what is that screenshot of by the way
I say get rid of it, there's nothing of value in it
"A large dune, the border with the Crash Zone"
wait
what does the dune got to do with thsi?
hmm
@edgy lagoon whats your profesoinal opinion on this image right here
I mean it looks good but they removed basically all the wreckage from the crash site if I remember right
they did?
oh also is the sea treader path rock tower mentioned in the coordinates page?
i wont lie the only good image by gush on this page iscalled "evil reaper"
wel
this page can use some touchups, replace any images you feel need replafcing
https://subnautica.fandom.com/wiki/Crater_Edge crater edge m,mmmm I hate this first image
the main one I mean
@edgy lagoon its a pic of the silhoutte of a reaper swimming above
which is.. not bad tbh, since the reaper is a main theme in the crash zone i think it should stay there
also i think i have a couple of crash zone lava lakes hole screenshots
i dont know if theyre gonna be useful
The best one I could get similar to that was this one
that specific spot in the screenshot, I cannot find
https://subnautica.fandom.com/wiki/Grassy_Plateaus alrgiht one image here needs removal or replacing i guess
if you can find a clearer pic of the night plateus
i can take one
sure thing
as long as its clearer than this pic
if its literally as dark as that image is and therse no way to have any detail seen then its better not too
this good?
i mean, i can artificially bump up the brightness
https://subnautica.fandom.com/wiki/Kelp_Forest if you want this main page image could be replaced, im not trying to go on the destroy all of gush's images tirade but. if you can find anything better go with i- phenominal
replaced the grassy platue one
A view of the Dense Kelp Forest
This is from 2016. if we can get anything better go for it. its also in the wrong resolution
you know the resolution standard right anomnum?
jsut replace anyhting that isnt at the resolution standard
yes I think
https://subnautica.fandom.com/wiki/File:Screen_Shot_2017-02-07_at_18.34.12.png REPLACE THIS OH GOD
EW
EW EW
oh also should this funky formation be mentioned
https://subnautica.fandom.com/wiki/Mountains okay this needs heavy overhaul
you think you're up for it blue hat?
any image that doesnt fit the resolution requirements remove or replace
as for most of the immages, they are ancient, old outcrops, old resources
can you link the image guidelines
section is Pictures and Galleries
okay gotcha
so the standard is
1920x1080
thats steam overlay
limits the aspect ratio by a little
you can disable it
i pressed the toggle thing like 50 times and it never gets removed
weird
so it doesn't say I shouldn't use Filmic color grading, but at the same time, I don't think any of the screenshots on the kelp forest page do
forgot
forgot this was a pg server
ok which images need a replacement again
anyways it's a shame cause this looks so nice
mhmm
well
some of the color grades change the lighting
like making the darkness darker
stuff likie that
so i dont think its an accurate usage
Here it is without color grading
https://subnautica.fandom.com/wiki/Sea_Treader's_Path some old photos here that need replacement.
pretty sure filmic just applies a very opaque layer of black
i think the page icon can use a better look tbh
i'll handle the sea treaders path
why do some many people insist on taking pictures with the lowest possible graphics settings
wtf
well.. if they are old pics that makes sense
back then rulse were more chill
also, good god this needs a makeover tooo
too many old pics of old outcrops
TIL that stalker counts as a structure
AHHAHAHAHA
okay you know what
screw this.
it seems like almost every of the surface biome pages need updaying,
except safe shallows
that one is actually pretty up to date.
underwater islands needs image cleanup too. jesus.
why don't we just overhaul the whole gallery
ehh
i wanna say yes but at the same time
some images are kind of a "good in the blink of the moment"
right time of day, good framing and looks. nice number of fauna and stuff present.
some images albeit old are better left alone because they just stand well
i wanna add the rock tower at sea treaders path but i cant get a clear picture
hit f6 until your hands disappear
also you can use freecam
the floating island page is surprisingly clean
the tower is 6 green values away from the background blue
if you are gonna take pics of terrain
avoid anything thats just blurry in the distance tbh.
especially if its one of the main focuses of the image
that would be like taking a picture of a wreck thats almost invisble cause of the water fog
just a reccomendation
also i just discovered that fins are rendered without the body
ew EWWW
i uhh, which page is it for?
sea treaders path
https://subnautica.fandom.com/wiki/Mountain_Island @edgy lagoon sorry for the ping but please uh, prioritize updating mouintain page if ya got the itme
some of these screenshots are ancient
i hate looking atthis
eugh
I will do it the moment I finish the kelp forest, which is like 5 minutes
plus i think the stone tower is never mentioned in the wiki at all and deserves at least a single screenshot
so can i add it or?
hmmmmm, that idk about... tell me more about the stone tower
if you go near it and hit f3 does it say its part of the seatreaders path?
if not its best to leave it out
@agile spindle sorry for the ping again but need your personal opinion on this image. i know its old since it calls it the koosh zone still, kagulan image, its on the bulb zone caves. should images like this be in galleries to begin with?
images that do comparison shots like this
who
sea treaders path starts at that point but the path itself is way deeper than that
hmm i- Sure i guess you can put the formatoin in if its in the sea trader bath boundary
h m m m
how do i add a screenshot
okie dokie, yeah uhh... so if thats the case.
damnit i need to walk you through this process. i dont know how to describe it.
my brain is wrinkly enough to understand "click edit and then drag the object into somewhere"
let me do a quick test because im a bit fuzzy on it as well actually
i dont need like
dont use the visual editor
60 page manuals
no not quite i'll tell you the image basics i just need to test it outmyself cause its been a while
i clicked edit next to the gallery and this popped up
hit source editro
mm yeah you can do that but.
my brain is wrinkly enough to understand "click edit and then drag the object into somewhere"
its a lot more precise with the source editor
euf okay maybe not umm gimme a sec
i mean is that good enough?
i added it
im gonna use the kelp forest as an example for this, i'll send you dms
ew EWWW
@heady gulch i dont see any problem
since the precursor base was added there
the island wasnt changed that much
Itâs an old photo
Thereâs no life there
i honestly dont see nothing wrong
it is like that still
for me if you want to say that an image looks "ancient"
it has to be before the gun base was added
since the base was added
there wasnt too many changes
there wasnt too many changes
@loud jetty the point of the wiki is to have up to date images.
yes it shows the island
but the image is an ancient versoin
that is not the exact same as the current version.
a lot of the details that are present in the current version are missing.
uh huh
to this.
its
not
yeah, its nowhere near the same
i honestly see no diference
I'm working on the mountain island rn
the terrain is different in the bottom pic
i dont see any diference
there are various flora textures on the mountains missing
psst
the coastline is missing all its plants
crap well i gtg. have fun fixing up the wiki
if any screenshots need work just tell me
except maybe crash zone and aurora screenshots because i still have submechanophobia
i dind't know fear of submerged man-made objects existed
Finished doing the Mountain Island page
@heady gulch baselerson appealed to me in DMs so i lifted his ban. in the future don't wait so long to communicate with someone when theyre being a problem on the wiki
this goes to you too @onyx river
gotcha, i thought Picls2 had it under control until i saw it this morning so i passed it off as something minor
Is @heady gulch the xeno guy?
Sent a report involving someone literally insulting me for no reason.
Either of u want to be in a Subnautica roleplay?
Either of u want to be in a Subnautica roleplay?
And this is #đwiki-discussion .
Sorry, I thought that he would see reason, Iâll make sure to contact someone next time
If you both of you see how this is a bad thing to do, I'll have one less comment to give.
@onyx river I would see reason? You were doing the same thing.
i mean.. you both locked into a back and forth editing thing.
And hey in my defense when i saw it last night it was the edit at 14:11 last night, so i thought that was a nail in the coffin for it.
plus these things usually get squared away pretty quick... I havent seen a fullblown fight over edits since gush happened.
@rigid jacinth by the way discussions is not a good place to discuss edits
commenting directly on peoples' user pages or discord DMs is better
commenting directly on people's user pages . . . is better
delet đĄď¸
if you touch a single character on my user page, i will burn utica to the ground
Oh, not in Utica, no, itâs an Albany expression
i feel obliged to continue
**I see. You know, these hamburgers are quite similar to the ones they have at Krusty Burger **
wait why can you change other peoples user page thingos-
because fandom
thatâs just how it works
This is #đwiki-discussion...
sorry, wrong page.
Why don't we ask staff to move #đwiki-discussion further down in the channel listing? We get a lot of people incorreclty posting in here, but if it was further down (e.g., in Community & Creative), it might help.
what do you mean by incorrectly posting? like throwing random screenshots or saying random stuff in the chat? or like asking for help?
I mean using this channel for things that aren't what it's made for (that is, the wiki and discussing it)--which includes all three examples you just gave, including asking for game help.
If I know anything about people, its that it doesnt matter where a channel is. If they want to talk in it, they will. It may be better to offer a proper support channel. Maybe that would work better.
the normal chats are support channels
i personally like the idea of wiki mods being able to moderate in the wiki channel only
I mean using this channel for things that aren't what it's made for (that is, the wiki and discussing it)--which includes all three examples you just gave, including asking for game help.
@cinder kestrel yeah but, last i remember, obraxis wasnt too pleased with us shooing users away that were asking for help
i dont have a screenshot of the message but i remembered he was pretty upset about us telling users to scoot outta the wiki chat if they were just looking for help.
I'm open to having a chat about it with any of you guys, for either moving it, or giving moderator powers for just this room. Whatever you think will work best or make it easier.
@agile spindle should all the wiki keepers discuss this idea of what was mentioned above? or are you going to speak for all of us boss
im not the boss
you are the head admin of the wiki though,
huh, yeah fair point.
I definitely agree with the first part.
Can you answer my question?
In response to that question, this is in #below-zero-chat . It demonstrates another way to draw users out of #đwiki-discussion and into better channels.
I think that going into a game channel, pinging them, and answering the question is better than answering the question in #đwiki-discussion (although it's not the only solution).
the problem isnt so much shooing them away as much as bullying them out of the channel for accidentally asking in the wrong place
One thing I really like about the UCP is the improved Show Differences. For example, in this edit, you can't tell right away I changed "the orange ears" to "its orange ears"; you could constantly look back and forth between the two paragraphs to try and figure it out, or you could do something else to try and spot the difference, but it's neither easy nor quick.
Whereas on the UCP, you can tell what I changed just as easily as if I had not removed the newline.
One of you mentioned maybe moving further down the channel list. How would you guys feel about being in Community & Creative instead of up in General?
i donât think it would make a difference tbh
I think it would.
Theyâd probably start posting base pics in here
Does #art-archive-10 get a lot of base pictures?
Because if not, I'll have to disagree about base pictures in here.
#đ awesome-bases does.
I know, sorry.
Likewise, if #art-archive-10 and #đşstreams-and-videos don't get many questions about Subnautica, then moving #đwiki-discussion to that category should at least improve things.
