Re: Suspiciously ticking pink backpack
Thank you, and while I know it is a tradition, I am still not convinced about this pink monstrosity. I am turning 40 next year, the time when a pink backpack would have looked cute on me is long gone...if there even was a time like that. sigh I really hope someone is running for admin next year. Anyhow, thanks for the quick forum closure, and for updating my staff role. I wish you and your loved ones Happy Holidays. –Findabair The benefit of the doubt is often doubtful. 13:37, 25 December 2021 (UTC)

Talkpages
I was working to empty the unusedfiles (I think Fandom solved it now), and that one came along. I thought you missed that the image was still used so to make it really used I stored in on a talkpage. We have another like that in that unused files: File:FOWW Notable Settlements section.png. What do you want to do with files like that then as an alternative to remove them from UnusedFiles? Another thing, I don't agree with moving Fallout 3 posters to Poster (Fallout 3). That page is an overview with all kinds of posters, and not a workshop object page (where you can create an object named poster). Workshop object/craft pages get the name Poster (Fallout xx).

Resignation from dmod
Hello Kate,

I hereby would like to formally resign as discussions moderator. This was a really difficult decision for me, but combining Discussions and Discord is just too much, so I've decided to take a step back as discussions moderator and continue solely as chat moderator. You can read my full post about it here. Thank you for your understanding. The Appalachian 09:11, 29 December 2021 (UTC)

Timeline merged through 2060
An update, I have finished vetting references and adding to timeline article through 2060. I think I did the highlighting of the game dates correctly but hope you can take a look just to double check my work. Before break is over my goal is to get through 2077. Let me know if anything needs to be done differently. Thank you for the opportunity to work on the timeline, Hellotalos (talk) 09:53, 29 December 2021 (UTC)

Pirate Radio
hi kate! i wanted to ask for your help regarding the in-game advertisements on Pirate Radio. i found a recording of all of them and would love to add transcripts of them to the wiki. i just don't know what page to add them to or how to format them. they aren't dialogue scenes as far as i can tell, so they would need to be transcribed by hand. i'm up to the task, but i would appreciate your guidance on how to implement them. thanks!

 * thank you! i will definitely fill in the radio play at some point too, but i should mention that the advertisements i mentioned are separate from the radio play. pirate radio plays three things: music, the radio plays, and kitschy pre-war advertisements, all of which are separate from each other. i'm interested in a page that just deals with the advertisements. perhaps it would be "Pirate Radio advertisements" or something like that? i feel like adding them all to the pirate radio page itself would make it bloated, so a separate page for them would be cool, especially since they reveal some cool lore additions.

BOS Intro
Hi, I have an issue with this:

https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Template:Wikiportal:Fallout:_Brotherhood_of_Steel/Intro

It currently says: "Because of numerous inconsistencies with previous Fallout games, Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel is not considered part of the official Fallout canon, however some of its content could be used as "flavor" material."

As far as I know, this is completely untrue. It has never been officially stated anywhere that BoS is not canon because of "inconsistencies". All Todd Howard said was "For our purposes, neither Fallout Tactics nor Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel happened." For this reason, I think this line should be changed to:

Although Brotherhood of Steel was intended to be a canon game when it was released, Bethesda director Todd Howard later apparently deemed the game non-canon in a Fallout 3 interview.

I would edit the Template myself but it's locked for admins only. Can you please help? Skorch (talk) 08:19, 30 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Kate, this statement would be incorrect, as FOBOS was not intended to be a Canon game. Dev comments were quoted by Duck and Cover at the time (Quoted by DAC from the Interplay forums)


 * However. As we have stated more than a few times now, FO:BOS is not a continuation of the PC chronology. It is inspired by, and takes place with a recognisable tangent of the Fallout Universe, but is is a law unto itself. Further console games (should they come to fruition) will have to follow what we lay down with this game.


 * Is there an answer that will apease your "Why the hell change it..."? Probably not, because when you get right down to it, we changed it because we wanted to.


 * FO:BOS resides within a thrice-removed tangent from ourselves, with Fallout 1 and 2 nestled somewhere between.


 * Yes facts about FO and the BOS that we could use in our defense have been listed, but since we are going to stay the course that F:BoS is not meant to be canon or not necassarily follow canon, then we can't site those items. Can we?

As such the statement should read that it was NOT intended to be a canon game. Agent c (talk) 22:01, 30 December 2021 (UTC)
