| − | Hi There |
||
| ⚫ | |||
| − | i'd like to start off with saying i really like the newest update the game runs a lot smoother. One thing i would really like to see is allowing players to share maps with their friends/allies so it blends what area they have explore with the area that you've explored. |

| − | Is this something that you guys plan on introducing in the near future? |

| − | :Hi Dan, you've come to the wiki which is not run by the official game developers but instead volunteer administrators like myself. The 7DTD forums would be the best place to post your thoguhts and they are accessible on the Steam Dicsussions page. Thanks!

| − | hello, my name is James. |
||
| − | |||
| − | I'm currently playing 7 days to die on my Xbox one, I realised that the new update has came out and it featured the new NPC trading. Ive tried tirelessly to try and find the traders on my world and I cant seem to find them after days on end of searching... all I am wondering Is that would I have to start a new game/map to have the traders spawn in or are they already in my world? I highly think that the traders are in my world already because when I click on to my journal the trader description is already there so I'm guessing they must be somewhere in the world? one more bit of evidence to back that up is that there is a dollar sign in my work inventory so I'm guessing that has something to do with the traders being in the world?? anyway thank you for taking my question into consideration any feed back or an actual explanation of this mod would be highly appreciated. Thank you. |
||
| − | :Hi James. I'm afraid you've come to the wiki and the best place for this would be the official forums. I've not played 7DTD on an xbox one as I don't own one but from my knowledge of how the game works, yes you will likely have to restart on a new map. This is because the map has already been generated. If you are playing RandomGen then it will have rendered very far before the radius of your current position is in 'new ground' as such a trader could be a '''very''' long way away. This is all based off my own play time on pc though. So do not quote me. Hope I have been of assistance!

| − | === Moderator abuse by DSquirrelGM === |
||
| − | To the Admins: Have for a long time been one of the few to create 7DTD guides, and with the lack of A17 content was starting to update some with video guides. This is something I've done for a long time here, and even had Graybeard reach out favorably commenting on a guide he liked. When I did this a week ago, instead I get my vid guides reverted by DSquirrelGM, get an immediate ban imposed, and told videos are not appropriate for the wiki. |
||
| − | |||
| − | At the very least, if the wiki guidelines are changed to NOT allow videos, put that in the guidelines, and give a friendly reminder. But to revert AND out of the blue ban me for doing what I've done before with the admin's awareness, is terrible behaviour. And to call my vids "promotional" when they're directly addressing a mechanic of some sort for the game, and thus directly relevant, is fairly amusing. No one does guides because there's few views compared to the effort, I added them as they cover mechanics people often ask about. |
||
| − | |||
| − | So maybe a real wiki admin can respond, as to whether videos now are no longer allowed, in which case I'm happy to stop contributing them as content. If not, a slapdown of abusive powers would be most appreciated. |
||
| − | Thanks -- [[User:Vedui42|Vedui42]] |
||
| − | |||
| − | :I have seen some of your videos and I don't know since when the video tutorials on this wiki have been banned and I see no reason why it should be. To consider a video tutorial as promotional when you are not selling anything and there is not advertising in that is IMO excessive. In thay way, we could consider the entire wiki as promotional of the contributors and we should probably... erase it completely?. I think it's no sense. |
||
| − | |||
| − | :If the real problem is not to fill the articles with videos, (that is for organizational reasons), well, a multimedia section with all the videos and a links in the articles to this, could be more usefull and elegant instead of deleting the contents. |

This sort of behavior is not considered to be constructive. The user was notified that if they wished to continue editing, they should actually edit the page text along with the video.

| − | Thank you all, appreciate the support. I'm more than happy to engage in constructive discussion if some content is not appropriate. It's not as if I am an anonymous coward simply making random edits, and continue doing so despite being flagged and chastised for it. Getting a ban (even a temp one) without discussion or notice for something like this was very unexpected, so I'm very pleased to see the support and clarification. I'll go through and update relevant pages. |
||
| − | |||
| − | My personal view is that a mix of text, audio and video is the most engaging. To be honest, Subnautica probably has done it the best I've seen, with even I believe officially created videos for a lot of the wiki pages, which I thought was slick. Annoying as I loved the game and many/all the guides for it were already done, so not much left for me to cover, but I feel it worked great. |

| − | == Problems with assigning categories to pages and then creating table references against them == |
||
| − | |||
| − | First and foremost hello. I recently started updating some of the content here, which began with the [[Biome]] page and now i'm up against the [[Resources]] page, which i decided to redo on my own accord. Everything explained in the page, although i came across a very peculiar problem. My changes consist of updating the item specific pages with new info - strictly speaking adding "Template:infobox item" parameters, as well as adding a new specific "category" entry and then using those as reference material for the tables in the [[Resources]] page. This is fairly transparent with the current content, as i am merely updating the parameters i need (stack, ob_craft, ob_forge, meltable, etc.) to how they are in the game. After i finish the whole page, i will update everything in the items listed for the tables i created, for example verifying stack sizes, actual amounts of resource when scrapping to three digits after the comma, etc. I am constantly checking |
||
| − | |||
| − | My problem though: I wanted to add a general "Plants" page, so i added "Plant" as the category (as seen in the below script for creating such a table), but apparently only "Plants" is a valid value to retrieve all pages that have category "Plant" and "Plants". Even if a page had "Plant" and i created a table on its basis, it wouldn't retrieve any records, whether for example "Components" doesn't retrieve anything (as there are no "Components" category pages) and only "Component" works as it should (giving back results for the exact case sensitive word in item page, as well as in [[Resources]] page). Can someone explain to me if i should be doing this differently or what is wrong with this? Below is inner section of the code, so as to not create a table here. Either way you can compare this to other tables in the [[Resources]] page. |
||
| − | |||
| − | I assumed that adding some new value in "Template:infobox item" category parameter would allow retrieval of pages with such category automatically without the need to create a group. It worked for "Basic Material", "Complex Material" and "Component" values, but "Plant" apparently doesn't work... For the moment i have in the Plants table pages with both "Plant" (it was used before in pages) and "Plants" as category - examples [[Cotton Plant]] and [[Coffee Plant]]. |

Revision as of 12:47, 2 March 2021
The Admin noticeboard is one way through which users can notify administrators of issues needing administrative attention. While users are welcome to directly contact specific administrators (especially if they are seen to be active), posting here can be an easier and quicker way of ensuring that at least one admin will notice an issue and respond to it promptly.
Please note; this page is for wiki-related issues only. That would include broken wiki pages, repeated or persistent vandalism and/or spam, etc. General questions about the game or new bug notifications should be posted in the official 7 Days To Die forums.
Remember to sign (using four tildes: ~~~~) when posting an issue.
Before posting an issue here, please consider the following:
- For deletion requests, see Help:Deleting
- For content disputes, try first to resolve the issue using the specific talk (Discussion) page. You can also make a request for comment on the community portal to try to generate a consensus.
- For issues regarding acceptable use of this wiki, please see our help center.
- For vandalism and spam:
- Revert the content.
- If the vandal/spammer created a new page, tag it for deletion (see Help:Deleting).
- When vandalism/spamming is not obviously intended, assume good faith and consider leaving a message on that user's talk page to explain the reason.
- Post here if the user has made several disruptive edits and/or persists despite a warning.
- Always avoid a revert war with the vandal/spammer; it is far better to wait until an admin has a chance to intervene.
- When reporting vandalism here, provide as much information as possible to help the admins locate the vandalized page(s) as well as the user's profile if they have registered.
Please post new topics at the bottom of the page by clicking here, or clicking on the Edit tab and scrolling to the bottom.
