Unused images has been checked, it's good to go, only added a pic to turbo slider. As for maintenance, maybe fix ? Likely can just remove the broken file from the sig altogether. -- Light Daxter -  Talk  19:51, October 4, 2016 (UTC)

PDA ammo prices in SM and SAC (infobox weapon)
The ammo prices in SM from the PDA usually cost 5x times more than from a vendor. Tumpp1357 (talk) 15:16, October 8, 2016 (UTC)
 * Ah, thanks. Should be the same for SAC as well?-- 15:22, October 8, 2016 (UTC)
 * Will check next time I play SAC Tumpp1357 (talk) 15:36, October 8, 2016 (UTC)


 * In SAC ammo for Clank's weapons from PDA cost 10x times more than from a vendor. --Tumpp1357 (talk) 17:21, October 8, 2016 (UTC)
 * Could only Clank use the PDA?-- 22:05, October 8, 2016 (UTC)
 * Ratchet can also use a PDA but he cannot use a vendor. (This is because ammo for Ratchet's weapons is automatically refilled when starting an arena challenge)--Tumpp1357 (talk) 02:45, October 9, 2016 (UTC)
 * Hmm, I see. Does this mean there are different prices for ammo for Clank's weapons and for Ratchet's?-- 08:18, October 9, 2016 (UTC)
 * Don't know what you mean exactly, but in SAC Ratchet and Clank have their own weapons unlike in All 4 One in which they share weapons for example the Combuster.--Tumpp1357 (talk) 11:09, October 9, 2016 (UTC)
 * Oh, I remember that. I mean, does the ammo for Ratchet's weapons cost less with the PDA than Clank's, or do they both cost 5 times more than usual?-- 11:16, October 9, 2016 (UTC)
 * In SM only Ratchet has weapons. Ammo for them with the PDA costs 5x times more than normally.
 * In SAC ammo for Clank's weapons with the PDA costs 10x times more than normally. And Ratchet in SAC is unable to use a vendor but he has the PDA. Because Ratchet is unable to use a vendor we don't know how much ammo for his weapons would cost normally. --Tumpp1357 (talk) 12:31, October 9, 2016 (UTC)
 * Ah, perfect. I'll update the infobox. Thanks!-- 12:34, October 9, 2016 (UTC)

Re: Weapon pages
There are not done yet main reason being that I visited Russia and came home day before yesterday. And the hotel had horrible Wi-Fi. --Tumpp1357 (talk) 02:40, October 18, 2016 (UTC)
 * SM weapons are now done, altough I think the Bee Mine Glove (SM) and the Bee Mine Mk. II (SAC) should be merged as they are basically the same weapon and the Walloper and Plasma Whip in terms of apperance and combat changed more than the Bee Mine Glove --Tumpp1357 (talk) 06:13, October 18, 2016 (UTC)
 * PS. You cannot buy ammo with the PDA for the Static Barrier Tumpp1357 (talk) 06:51, October 18, 2016 (UTC)
 * SAC weapons are now done as well and I will check your rewrites of the weapon articles when you do them--Tumpp1357 (talk) 08:56, October 20, 2016 (UTC)
 * Nice, thanks! I will do Deadlocked first, and after that, I'll try and do SM and SAC weapons.-- 09:36, October 20, 2016 (UTC)
 * When you start rewriting SM weapons my sandbox 1 has information about SM weapon mods (The sandbox is incomplete but I think you will find it helpful). The table at the beginning has the information when a mod becomes first available and prices for the mods. The text part has in-game descriptions for each mod and some have an effects part that tells what the mods do in better detail than the in-game descriptions. --Tumpp1357 (talk) 12:47, October 23, 2016 (UTC)

And the Groovitron situation became complicated
So it is called the Groovitron Glove also in FFA. So I am using Playstation move heroes as a third example for the Groovitron but that is not in this wiki's scope and because of that probably cannot be used as a example. Either way this means you should rethink your vote. The Device forum. Tumpp1357 (talk) 16:26, October 30, 2016 (UTC)
 * It doesn't really change my opinion a whole lot, but thanks for letting me know.-- 17:29, October 30, 2016 (UTC)

Re:
LOL The wiki looks f*cking horrible. Why did you guys changed the way it looked? Torta de Limão (talk) 11:45, November 5, 2016 (UTC)
 * Well, that is your opinion - some of us thought that the background image was horrible. Like I said, it is a temporary change. Please do not unilaterally change it.-- 11:47, November 5, 2016 (UTC)


 * It's horrible now; between a blank page and an image of quality showing Ratchet and Quark, most people in the world would prefer the last one. It's a matter of sense, not opinion. You guys are messing up this wiki. The templates for the weapons, enemies and characters are really awful as well... and as an admin, I should be noticed by those huge changes. I don't agree with them.
 * Regarding to the revertion you did to my edit (that took me quite some time to do it, btw), I was just following the wiki politic's regarding the MoS. It has always been this way. Weapons articles, from what I am aware, are included to be written in past tence, yes. Torta de Limão (talk) 11:54, November 5, 2016 (UTC)


 * No longer in effect? When was that decided? Also, I think it wouldn't cost too much to leave a notice on admins and burocrats of the wiki... just saying. And why did the manual of style has been deleted? So awkard decisions. Torta de Limão (talk) 12:02, November 5, 2016 (UTC)


 * We decided to have no background instead of a bad one, a background should emphasize the content on a wiki, not distract from it. We all agree that we want a background, however we are yet to find an actually good one. Nevertheless the design is not final and is up for change, which you should do via community discussion on the forums. Regarding the templates, the weapons one is new and is ours, if you have any complaints I recommend using the relevant talkpage to discuss it (it's not perfect but better than what we had), the other two we didn't touch since we joined.
 * Regarding your status as an admin and changes on the wiki, it is your duty as an admin to stay active and engage in various wiki-related activities. It is not your duty to go and edit war and change things on your own decision, this is grounds for admin abuse and can and will see your rights revoked if further continued. We are not going to go and spoonfeed every change to you, you're free to join our discussions on Steam or Discord though (most wiki-related stuff we discuss off-site because it's convenient).
 * The old policy and MoS are no more, instead of we have a new guideline that is a lot more simple to uphold and stick by, and a hell of a lot less bloated (you can say 'fucking' now btw). Admittedly it doesn't cover everything because we assume some things to be common sense. Just because the wiki always has done a thing one particular way doesn't make it actually 'the correct way'. -- Light Daxter -  Talk  12:07, November 5, 2016 (UTC)


 * And the reason we no longer use past tense for everything is because, for anything outside of lore, it makes no sense. There is no reason to describe gameplay information in past tense when I can play the game right now. The Miniturret Glove fires lasers at enemies when I throw it, but it was made by MegaCorp. This discussion was actually held on wiki (using a Special:Forum feature that was removed by consensus, but it could be done again in Forum namespace). Your disagreement with these decisions in no way invalidates them.
 * Frankly, if you had issue with any of these decisions, you had plenty of opportunity to oppose them. You still do, in fact, through the correct procedure, have the opportunity to propose alternatives in discussion. I would simply advise you that you are going against the consensus of four users on the vast majority of these issues which have been settled.-- 12:16, November 5, 2016 (UTC)


 * I'm really curious about what "non-distracting" background you guys are going to put lol The last one was perfect. It had quality and it fitted with the previous theme. If you think that way, no image should be added then! Because, honestly, they all lead to distraction!
 * No notices came to me; nothing making me aware of the facts you people decided. I was always active over here, and I'm a bit sad of how things are going on. Instead of making those pointless changes in the wiki, why didn't you guys, responsible for that, make a template to warn active admins of the wiki about the changes?
 * I wonder why that discussion was removed... something like that should never be deleted. It is a total layout change for the wiki. This is wrong is so many ways. Almost every article was written in past tense; MoS rules.
 * The new templates are bad. The previous ones were fairly better, dude. The ones you created look unprofessional and very simple. It's ugly, in other words, sorry.
 * And I shall not be "revoked" for just stating my opinions here. Torta de Limão (talk) 12:30, November 5, 2016 (UTC)


 * I'm curious too. It is not anyone's job to spoonfeed you on wiki changes, it's your job to stay active, something you are clearly not as your last activity since today was two months ago, no one would call that active. We do actually keep other active admins (DrNef mainly) up to date on changes we make, but the keyword here is 'active', something you're clearly not.
 * It was removed because the whole new forums were removed, you're free to bring it up again and re-do it, we won't mind. Total layout changes for the wiki are fine, it's what we intend to do. You do realize we didn't really make any templates but the main page and weapon infobox one right? Like we keep saying, instead of whining about it you should try to do it better yourself (without touching the existing templates, use a sandbox on your userspace instead). I think PapiDimmi (now resigned admin) changed the templates' look himself, we do intend to change 'm though).
 * No one ever said stating your opinion is wrong, it's wrong however to abuse your rights. -- Light Daxter -  Talk  12:39, November 5, 2016 (UTC)


 * Wow, you checked my last edits. Guess that means something. Anyways, I know I'm not that active here anymore, obviously. When Hunterj was gone, things started to collapse a bit and I began editing with less frequency. But, as I said, I has always been active here. Not a lie. I used to log in every day. And, even not making any edits, I visited the site sometimes to see how things were going in the past months.
 * I would like to put the previous templates for enemies and weapons, if you don't mind. Torta de Limão (talk) 12:46, November 5, 2016 (UTC)


 * Make a forum topic for it, Techno's talk page isn't the relevant place to discuss it. -- Light Daxter -  Talk  12:49, November 5, 2016 (UTC)


 * My shorthand answer, though, is this: Aside from the weapons template, the templates you seem to object to, and their appearance, have very little to do with us. Therefore, I have no objection to you putting the previous template for enemies back. However, please do not revert to the current weapons template, as not only is it completely incompatible with the old weapons template, but it is still a work in progress. We are going to change its appearance completely with CSS instead, and I invite you to share your thoughts when we do.-- 12:54, November 5, 2016 (UTC)
 * Nevermind, then. Don't wanna waste my time with this, since my chances are low. I don't agree  with nothing of this and my edits on here will keep falling over and over.
 * I am not motivated enough to continue working here, Techno, but thanks, anyways. Have a nice  day.  Torta de Limão (talk) 13:01, November 5, 2016 (UTC)

Lacerator SAC history/lore add
Onto the stand where you get Dual Lacerators there is plaque that reads: "These are replicas of Ratchet's Lacerators". I do not know how this information should be written to the Lacerator article. Since you have more experience writing articles could you add it there? --Tumpp1357 (talk) 05:20, March 7, 2017 (UTC)
 * Done, that should do it.-- 11:36, March 7, 2017 (UTC)

Re: Page deletions
Ok, let's just close this ridiculous issue. As this talking title suggests that the real issue was page deletions, I only wanted to know about the deletion of pages.

I did not victimize myself. I was just expressing that I got really offended by all this attack you made on me. I said I am not in position to criticise anybody and I don't think it's bad to mention my concerns.

What my role will be on this wiki from now on: stick with correcting grammar errors and other minor edits and nothing else. Happy now? Thanks... I guess. --c0ητr165 Pl@smo +@!κ 12:54, May 15, 2017 (UTC)
 * Plasmo, none of us attacked you at all. Jak Himself's comments about "waltzing in with a few hundred edits" were not to be taken personally, it was simply to illustrate that while you were highly critical of the changes we had made, you were not in a position to simply demand we reverse them all, or claim that a bcrat who made them was inexperienced and should not have been made one. None of us consider you a troll or have issues with you voicing your concerns, but it is pretty unreasonable to demand we inform every single active user about the changes we have made.
 * Admittedly, we were harsher than we could have been, due to the witch hunt that was (unintentionally) started after your first message. We have no problem with you having a role greater than correcting grammar or making minor edits. You are more than welcome to become more actively involved with the wiki should you choose, and I hope you do not continue to feel intimidated here.
 * To address your primary concern, which is page deletion. Lots of pages have been deleted (and it's possible that some more may be too) as we work to streamline the wiki to only the pages that are necessary. This means that readers do not have to click on dozens of pages to find what they want, as there is a lot of evidence to suggest that having to switch pages many times often causes readers to be frustrated and look elsewhere to find what they need (hence why we merged all weapon pages with their upgrades).-- 13:25, May 15, 2017 (UTC)


 * Thanks for informing me about deleting pages, that's what I was looking for in first place but, you know what, I don't care anymore. You know, using some kind of forum rather than a temporary chatroom can help everyone. What about new users? They're not able to help because they don't know what's going on around here?
 * And who said I was the first to even mention that the user was "inexperienced"? Look at the talk page again. And, by the way, nothing but concerns for this user can be found, not curses, not offences. Is it wrong for someone to tell their opinion?--c0ητr165 Pl@smo +@!κ 13:36, May 15, 2017 (UTC)


 * Using a chatroom helps everyone too. It allows us to discuss changes far quicker than waiting for a back and forth on the wiki, which takes a while. We often invite said new users to the Discord to discuss it with us, so it's rarely true that they don't know what's going on. You were not the first to mention "inexperienced" (that was a resident troll who did), but you did press the charge further. And no, we've already told you we have no problem with you expressing your opinion?-- 13:46, May 15, 2017 (UTC)


 * Ok then, end of story.--c0ητr165 Pl@smo +@!κ 13:50, May 15, 2017 (UTC)

One last thing: I would like you to understand that, since I was (and I still am) bad-tempered, I did not really read everything you posted on my talk page. You say that PD is actually a bad user, a troll, and he is who actually told Light Daxter inexperienced. Why didn't you (all admins) contact him as well in first place? This is why I find all of your reactions on me unacceptable. How would you feel if you were told that you're not worth being heard if you only have a few hundred edits?

This was the only wiki I was interested into and the only reason I came back here was to add some new information I had found, but found the page I was looking for deleted. I just can't keep helping this wiki if you treat me as a minor editor. And, what I also think is that one less stupid, minor user really counts, so here is the end of my editing career. Goodbye.--c0ητr165 Pl@smo +@!κ 18:58, May 15, 2017 (UTC)


 * Why don't you re-read our messages then while we play you the world's smallest violin. 19:05, May 15, 2017 (UTC)


 * So, hold on. You just admitted that you didn't read everything I posted. Had you done so, you would have read the part where I said comments about your edit count were not to be taken personally, the part where I said we will be happy to hear any other concerns you have, and the part where I said we do care about our community, we just don't care to waste our time with trolls. Note the last point in particular: it is precisely because of this that we messaged you in response to your concerns, and did not waste time contacting PD (we will give him a warning if he continues trolling). This alone should show we think that a "minor user really counts". If "treating you as a minor editor" means "not giving into demands to message every single inactive editor about every change made under the new team", I'm not sure what to tell you.-- 19:14, May 15, 2017 (UTC)
