Slocum's Joe
You uploaded a map of Charleston where you have circled the Slocum's Joe (Charleston). Can you do the same for locations that have such a map and also have buildings within it, such as Watoga, Grafton. Clarksburg, Monongah, Harpers Ferry, Berkeley Springs, Flatwoods, Sutton, Summersville, Morgantown, Helvetia, Welch, Lewisburg and Beckley? Those are the locations that have a large overview map. I'm not far enough in the game to do it myself. Jspoel  11:22, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Good to hear. I'm looking forward seeing those maps! Jspoel [[file:Speech Jspoel.png|10px|link=User talk:Jspoelstra]] 17:13, 13 May 2021 (UTC)

Re: Dimuhh
Thank you, your majesty. And yeah, it was a nuisance, though it only took some 40ish minutes or so. Good job on your recent new articles, will read over them in a bit. --Findabair The benefit of the doubt is often doubtful. 07:00, 14 May 2021 (UTC)

Interloper
Can you please help me understand why the Interloper is the only psyker (its on the page) that does not currently have the same aforementioned description next to its race or the pysker navbox? Especially since its in it? Eckserah's justification was not convincing at all, and now its inconsistent with every other psyker. Regardless of the ongoing psyker semantics debate (which is actually a separate issue), the interloper should either have the psyker navbox and race indicator, or be removed from the main psyker page. Again, its about current consistency. Thanks. Branebriar1930 (talk) 12:57, 14 May 2021 (UTC)

Lol, that's pretty funny! Branebriar1930 (talk) 10:00, 15 May 2021 (UTC)

Bot rights
I gave your bot account bot rights. Now it won't show up standard in recent changes anymore. Jspoel  18:27, 14 May 2021 (UTC)

New psychic page
I don't mind the new split between psyker and psychic but saying that there abilities are only related to clairvoyance or telepathy is going to be problematic. The vault dwellers ability to resist 'psychic attacks' doesn't seem to directly relate to either of those, and Lorenzo's powers are telekinesis and enhanced physical characteristics, like strength and endurance. Branebriar1930 (talk) 10:16, 15 May 2021 (UTC)

Charleston
That is one sweet map! Great asset. So please ahead and work on those other 15 or so maps. I even think we can create a blog for it once the maps are all finished, they deserve special attention. Jspoel  13:16, 15 May 2021 (UTC)
 * When you're walking through these locations, can you also be on the lookout for screenshots of notes and holotapes? Some are missing or could use a more distant picture which show more of the surroundings so you know where you can find it. And maybe get screenshot of terminals that are still missing on our wiki. You can find which one are missing when checking the russian wiki, I have started copying them to here. See . (Maybe it's too much of a hassle; the local maps are priority one now).

Gadget fun & Descriptions on changes & Opposite gadget
Hiya Kate ! Hope you're doing well. I've been loving those gadgets you pointed out to me, thanks so much. In fact, I use the hover one a lot now. Which leads me to a question ... is there a reason why many/most of the moderators/admins/bureaucrats don't use the "describe what you've changed" edit summary field ? Aren't we supposed to be filling that in (I'm sure there are some rules or guidelines for editing somewhere that states if that's a rule or not... : ) ? I was bad about remembering to fill that in, but went to My Preferences > Editing > Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary, so now if I forget I get a reminder yay. I wish there was an option to set a remind me prompt when I don't add the 4 ~ tildas !!! I forget that at least half the time ... might be the old age thing, maybe I should see a doctor, haha ! Also, did you ever ask one of the dataminer editors about my 'opposite gadget' idea ? from: https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Talk:Poisoned - AngelaStuff2 (talk) 17:53, 16 May 2021 (UTC)

TVA and Projects
Wanted to shout out and say howdy and thanks for being my TVA mentor! You rock and I'm so glad to be a part of the Free Kates I can't wait to see what adventures we find ourselves in next. Additionally, if there's ever any projects that need some extra love (especially my favorite, character pages) I've be happy to do whatever I can to help out and learn as much as I can in the process—I adore having things to work on, as you know! —Katy Webb  A better future, underground! 00:19, 19 May 2021 (UTC)

Mentioned-only factions
Kate, with your work on mentioned-only associations you left many mentioned-only factions categories empty. Firstly, what was the reason for creating the new categories, secondly, can you fix the interwikis that those categories had to the new categories? And there's still a redlinked :Category:Fallout 76 mentioned-only associations. Jspoel  21:09, 19 May 2021 (UTC)‏‎

Voters
Think there are a couple of people voting on Findabair's CMOD application who aren't eligible, just making sure.Branebriar1930 (talk) 09:30, 22 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Vetted the votes, and everyone checks out (including the no vote that seems like someone is under the influence...) except for Dawglover22. Their only edit prior has been on Branebriar's request in September, no mainspace edits/no discussions posts. Can't check their chat history. I'll leave that call to you.

Edits
There's been a little more edits as I found them, 3.5 million on Special:Statistics. But thanks anyway! Jspoel  15:18, 22 May 2021 (UTC)

Kdarrow,
I need some pages refined, they will be in my contribution section. i may or may not have made the pages already and now they are marked as created. Sorry... - Masterchief58x

Feedback

Silk sheets?
Heh? I don't understand why this is worthy of mention. I mean, there's only a few different materials that are used to make sheets, and as far as I know, silk isn't a scarce resource (at least any more than every other one). Saying Gomorrah has sheets made of silk is neither particularly interesting, nor surprising or unusual (maybe if they were made out of bread or something). It just seems about as valuable to say as 'Caesar is bald' and follow it up with that comment House made about the Courier having trouble finding a hair on his (Caesar's) head.

At the least could it rather be included as a part of the main layout page rather than as an individual note? Branebriar1930 (talk) 01:06, 30 May 2021 (UTC)

Need you to hear me
Kate, do have a personal issue with me? When I reverted edits that I felt (and still do) did not belong, you were so quick to restore them (silk sheets, NCR heavy troopers) and proceed to paint me as a misbehaving, out-of-line bully, even though I provided edit summaries and a very clear and cordial response to Xporc. Xporc threatened to leave (which was straight up emotional manipulation), and you were so to rush to console them, saying you will address my behavior as if I viciously insulted them or something. You didn't even attempt to look at things from my perspective. To add insult to injury, the last few times I have tried to reached to you (silk sheets, psychics) you completely ignored me. I mean...what am I mean to do?

Basically, when question and undermine my editing decisions, combined with how you portray me to other editors, it makes me feel like an editor in name only - too afraid about doing anything that might upset another editor (let alone use my CMOD tools). Its a shit feeling.

This has been building for a while now, and it really seems that (subconsciously or not) you don't trust me to be a CMOD anymore, and if this is the case, please be upfront about it and get my rights removed. Hell, even a straight-up ban would be a better alternative to the aforementioned treatment (perceived or not). I know that I have been problematic in the past, but this honestly feels like something else, because its unique to you. I'm sorry its come to this, but I needed to clear the air. Branebriar1930 (talk) 22:41, 30 May 2021 (UTC)

You're a busy woman lately, but I feel I need to address this. I really don't see the need changing Fallout 76 into. The text is already there, no use changing it into the template giving the same result. Just leave it as is is my opinion. Same thing goes for the updates. Ask around with the other admins but this is how I see it. Jspoel  15:24, 31 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Agreed. Adding that template is not within our article layout guidelines for items, which seems to be the majority of articles they've been added to; in fact, it says to write out the "in [game]" part with a link, not using a template. AllYourFavorites! 01:53, 1 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi friends, no problem. I thought we talked about implementing it at the last meeting, so I added it to my repertoire. I think it is useful to keep the wording consistent and correct for updates, but we can revisit it at some point and I will leave them as-is for now. Thank you for helping meeee! - kdarrow Pickman heart.png  take her for a spin! 04:37, 1 June 2021 (UTC)

Canon
Our current canon policy does not state anywhere to use sourceboxes for promotional items, which are considered dependent sources. "Not canon" only refers to content that has been explicitly ejected from the continuity. Nothing official has ever been said about promotional items. If you'd like to make a dedicated template for promotional items, stating that they're a grey area of canon, but claiming that they're not canon is inaccurate.

I also noticed the TVA article which states that everything not in the main games is non-canon, which is also inaccurate according to current policy. Again, non-canon is only stuff that has been singled out and removed from canon (Tactics, BOS, anything canceled, etc.) I don't want to step on any toes, but I strongly recommend you update that page so that it reflects our current policy.

Infobox plan
Forwarded from Eckserah's talkpage

I wasn't involved in the discussion leading to this split off. I don't see the use to create a new template for such a simple item, with just a few parameters who can easily be included to the item infobox template, just as for example the mods. Even the holotapes and notes use the item infobox, while the plans and recipes are just a subbranch of the notes. They are of minor complexity and can use the item box. Jspoel  19:31, 2 June 2021 (UTC)

Infobox documents
Saw your draft and wanted to note, the documentation for each infobox used to have notes for each parameter and what information specifically belonged in a parameter. These were lost at some point during infobox conversions and were never replaced. These should be put back so there’s no ambiguity about what information should be used in each parameter.

Nicktoonsfan 2.0
This user is continuously editing small parts of pages with unnecessary edits and is now begining to edit war over changes. They are introducing contractions and still ignoring the American English punctuation notice they were given before jumping accounts. Their editing pattern is also bordering on edit boosting.

Article talk page messages
Article talk page messages are only for discussions on how to improve the page though. Random chatter and banter should be removed. I don’t know what the person on the Enclave talk page is even saying because it’s rambling gibberish. It should be removed. Great Mara (talk) 10:55, 8 June 2021 (UTC)

NW locations
I was wondering, where did you find the names of the NW unmarked locations? I dont see them in the guide. Jspoel  16:44, 8 June 2021 (UTC)
 * I got a code for the digital guide when I purchased the game. It has been updated for Far Harbor and Nuka-World, but they didn't add unmarked locations so there are no names for it. Guess we'll go by yours then. Jspoel [[file:Speech Jspoel.png|10px|link=User talk:Jspoelstra]] 22:04, 8 June 2021 (UTC)

Thanks, half a million isn't that far away anymore. I've given Katy her rights. Jspoel  19:28, 12 June 2021 (UTC)
 * You've invested time in that, I say. About the portal, I assume you'd plan the Discord and Community features in the right rail later on? Not sure about removing the headers and do you want to leave out the Content box? About the welcome, I would certainly leave out the patroller list and perhaps even just leave a link to the administrators page instead of all names. It has become too long for a welcome on a talkpage. Vault Academy is good. I do like the coloring of your portal/welcome page.
