== Series Templates ==


The short answer is that yes, you need to create a new one. The longer answer is that (in theory) you could use parsing functions to making templates that are all based off of one template so that the new templates would all look the same, but this restricts the format and would take hours and hours of coding. Each template is different (compare the [[Template:1911|1911 Template]] to the [[Template:Tom Clancy Series|Tom Clancy]] template). Now what we could and I think should do, is change the sub-categories to something like "Media Seires" and "Gun Series" (separating 1911 from Tom Clancy). At the end of the day tho, eventually there are going to be a lot of templates but if you concern is that there will be a lot to sift through, there is always an easier way to add the template. When you create a new template, you know what its called and you add it to the pages as you create it. If you are creating a new page and need to add it to the template, and the template to the page, just go to another page in the series. In other words, if you are adding "Call of Duty Modern Warfare 4" (no such thing... yet...), just go to the Modern Warfare 2 page and copy and paste the code from the bottom.
=Discussion=


I've been spending a lot of time working on these templates and haven't really gotten any feedback from admins. It's also frustrating because there are a lot of things that I would like to do but can't since I'm not an admin. For example, I keep having to ask one of you guys to add a new template to the locked page... I'm not as much of a gun enthusiast as most of the people here, but I am a computer engineer with a lot of coding experience so I'm just trying to do my best to help out. I will kick around the idea of a generic template and try some different things but no promises... It will literally require hours of coding.
== Colt XSE links ==


In the mean time, I would love to hear some feedback on the templates that I have already added. Are there other templates that you think could be useful? Throw ideas at me and I'll let you know what I think is doable. --[[User:Zackmann08|Zackmann08]] 23:40, 17 June 2012 (CDT)
... but the Colt XSE link does't link to anything, not even the Colt Rail Gun. Instead, the Colt Rail Gun link links to Colt XSE, and Colt XSE links to itself, and none of them directs to the actual page with the Colt Rail Gun. What is going on with the redirect here? --[[User:Wuzh|Wuzh]] ([[User talk:Wuzh|talk]]) 02:42, 13 February 2019 (EST)


:Also, I BEG you... please read my request about redirects [http://forum.imfdb.org/showthread.php?t=2004 In the forum]... I cannot tell you how frustrating this is... --[[User:Zackmann08|Zackmann08]] 23:44, 17 June 2012 (CDT)

::Any thoughts? --[[User:Zackmann08|Zackmann08]] 22:31, 18 June 2012 (CDT)
I undid the edits on [[Girl in the Spider's Web, The]], as it is definetly not USP, no safety, which is distinct feature of USP. It is P2000 with a customized rail, it seems
I did a little tidying up of the templates. Added some more subcategories. This should help to keep things from getting TOO cluttered. I'd really like to hear your thoughts. --[[User:Zackmann08|Zackmann08]] 10:56, 21 June 2012 (CDT)
:You are correct, and that is the beauty of using templates. Make the change in ONE place, it automatically changes everywhere else. :-) I SWEAR when I made the Pink Panther template, Pink Panther 3 was listed on IMDB and its not now... Maybe I saw it on Wikipedia?? Either way, I will fix it and I think you are right. Let's wait until a trailer has been released before adding it to the templates. :-) --[[User:Zackmann08|Zackmann08]] 19:50, 21 June 2012 (CDT)

You suggested to upload whole frame screenshots instead of capturing only weapons- well, due to heavy spoilers I may try to do it, but will have to warn other users who do not enjoy spoilers, is it better?

:Yes, was out of memory again. I've made some tweaks that will buy a couple weeks but the site actually needs to move to completely new hardware. I won't be able to do that until the 17th of June. --[[User:Bunni|bunni]] ([[User talk:Bunni|talk]]) 00:54, 9 June 2019 (EDT)


If I'll somehow get the HD quality images I'll change current ones to such, although I think the handgun is seen clear enough to identify it :)
== Uploaded picture ==
Hi, I uploaded this picture ...[[Image:Spider-man-far-from-home-cobie-smulders-samuel-l-jackson-1.jpg|thumb|none|400px|]] ... that I ment to use on the [[Spider-Man: Far From Home]] page but when I had uploaded it I noticed some information about copywright was attached to the file, so I am now unshure if I can use this picture. I'm not a native English speaker or know very much about copywright rules so if you could help me and tell me if I can use that picture on the page or not I would be very grateful.

== Template:Wrong Turn Series ==
I purposely replaced the two screencaps of the page since it's norm to have full-sized/non-cropped screenshots. I assume that you reverted them due to the big presence of the F-word, but... do we really enforce censoring curse words? As far as I've seen, censoring them is not a common practice on this site (unlike nudity), although I could be wrong. --[[User:Ultimate94ninja|Ultimate94ninja]] ([[User talk:Ultimate94ninja|talk]]) 08:22, 6 July 2019 (EDT)

Well, yes and no. Thing is, the blu-ray editions of 1985 incarnation are coming and the image quality of the PAL DVD collection I have is so "acceptable to unworkable" that it tends to make firearm identification harder than necessary. I see you have dumped the archived data on Season 5 and 6, but currently, I keep that stuff in discussion. [[Talk:MacGyver (1985) - Season 2|I have some stuff already at Season 2's discussion page.]] But if you have yearning to do all the other seasons, I won't stop you. But once blu-rays of all the seasons are out, I'll get back to work with more conviction. [[User:TrickShotFinn|TrickShotFinn]] ([[User talk:TrickShotFinn|talk]]) 04:14, 12 September 2019 (EDT)

They all are in Delete category. Thanks in advance! [[User:Greg-Z|Greg-Z]] 01:11, 26 June 2012 (CDT)
I am planning to split all the Star Wars "trilogy" pages into their individual film pages. The current format makes it difficult for readers to tell what weapons are found in each of the individual movies, and it's an unnecessary deviation from the format of the rest of the wiki. There is some support for this as can be seen on the [[Talk:Star_Wars|Star Wars talk page]]. Seeing as you created the "trilogy" format originally, are you OK with me splitting up these pages? --[[User:Wuzh|Wuzh]] ([[User talk:Wuzh|talk]]) 18:03, 1 December 2019 (EST)
:I don't have any new screenshots. This split is purely splitting up the images that we have. --[[User:Wuzh|Wuzh]] ([[User talk:Wuzh|talk]]) 20:44, 1 December 2019 (EST)

I've been dissuaded from splitting up the prequel trilogy page by commando552; as for the original trilogy, I put that on hold because I was busy with schoolwork back then.

So since I am new to being an admin, I wanted to get your opinion on something. I recently deleted the page for [[Next of Kin]] because it was woefully lacking. Hours later, the one guy who had contributed to it in the first place, recreated the page with the exact same info... How do you guys normally handle this? If the user had a lot of contributions I would feel very different, but he doesn't... This is his only page. Thoughts? --[[User:Zackmann08|Zackmann08]] 13:18, 27 June 2012 (CDT)

== A Rumor of War ==
==Screenshot Request==
:Howdy! I've added the M1 Garand to Fargo Season 4 & supplied screenshots, but they're not the best quality. It seems you may have a better source than I do. I was wondering if you could perhaps update the screenshots. These were taken from "The Pretend War" (S4E04) starting at about 15:10 minutes in. It is very odd that the weapons being discussed & shown here are M1 Garands, however, they are never seen again after this scene. --[[User:RealEveryDay|RealEveryDay]] ([[User talk:RealEveryDay|talk]]) 12:27, 23 November 2020 (EST)

:For the record, that's exactly what I did... Had the page be some guy with nothing on his user page and a half dozen random contributions, I would have deleted it. Since its yours, I aint touching it. I know I nuked it 2 months ago but that was before I was an admin. As an admin I WILL NOT delete another admin's page without getting their okay first.

Doesn't the "Upcoming" tag refer to any movie that out in theaters and not available on home video? According to the rules, we can't post screencaps of anything other than what's in trailers or teasers until the US video release date, so it explains to users why the caps aren't there. --[[User:Funkychinaman|Funkychinaman]] 01:10, 15 July 2012 (CDT)
==The Stand (2020)==
:As I said above, I thought it remained in affect until home video release. Theoretically, every page is considered incomplete until it get screencaps from the official home video release, so the upcoming tag provides an excuse as to why those caps aren't there. And since we can't use caps from illegal sources like screeners and bootlegs, for the purposes of completing a page, the home video release date is pretty much the only one that counts. The tag also is a disclaimer, covering our asses and reminding everyone that "Any screenshots used are from official Trailers and sources" and not bootlegs. (BTW, we should probably make the T in Trailer lowercase.) I would think for a featured page like ''The Avengers'', this is especially important. --[[User:Funkychinaman|Funkychinaman]] 01:29, 15 July 2012 (CDT)
::Still a few innocuous scoped hunting rifles to screencap and there is a shot of Norris ([[Nicholas Lea]]) issuing what appears to be [[Glock 17]] pistols to the newly organized Boulder Free Zone Police in episode nine: "The Circle Closes".

Hello Ben41. As you may know, recently me and several other IMFDB users have been trying to find ways to resolve issues related to IMFDB accounts reported by several off-site IMFDB users (more details [[Talk:Main_Page#Issues_with_IMFDB_Accounts_Reported_by_Multiple_Users|here]]). We have been trying to contact site owner bunni about this issue, but it has been difficult to reach them. Especially since a similar attempt to contact bunni back in 2021, posted directly on their [[User_talk:Bunni#Regarding_a_user|talk page]], did not receive any replies.


== Re:Page Templates  ==
I have been suspecting that the contributions made by bunni the account, which since at least the last year have consisted exclusively of creating new user pages, is an automated process, and that bunni the user is actually no longer an active user of IMFDB. This makes it far more difficult to contact bunni, in turn making it far harder to resolve the issues related to account creation that we're currently facing. Do you, or anyone else in the IMFDB staff community, know of a more direct to contact bunni the user? --[[User:Wuzh|Wuzh]] ([[User talk:Wuzh|talk]]) 20:34, 17 July 2022 (EDT)

When fixing the broken titled pages, you should use the "Move" tool found under the "More ˅" menu next to the edit button.

Thank U! Now I'm more familiarized with firearm characteristics. U see the 1st time I watched an SMG/MG fire, I wasn't familiar with the characteristics. But thanks to U, I learned more about guns. Now that I discovered how to make gun scene pics with the print screen option, I decided to join IMFDB to add more pics of guns used in movies. I learned this technique from someone on Atomic Betty Wiki 1 month ago, and since I'm a recent contributor on that wiki, I decided to make edits on this wiki as well.
== How do I make a page? ==


Thanks for the reminder. And your right about the Image I placed on Terminator 3. But Can U help me identify a very strange gun? It is on the Batman 1989 page under M1928 Thompson. There is a picture with the caption "What appears to be a double barrel Thompson SMG on the bottom right". The pic caption on the image below it also says the gun has some sort of shield on it. If U can Identify this gun for me, alert me ASAP. I would really appreciate it. Or maybe those/that thing looks to small for a shield. Maybe it looks like a double set of stick magazines.--Gunnerboy 21:34, September 30 2012

Yes, I had noticed that it was getting a little large. I'm just a bit worried that if we do it by season, the season pages will be a bit light. On the other hand, it'll at least allow us to get it out of the incomplete queue. (Netflix has eight seasons on Instant, and even if we did it by disk, Netflix only as seasons 1-10, 14.)

:Ben, we're discussing this issue on the forums at present (as to whether it's necessary to split a page for a series with only a small number of guns per individual movie), could you check in on that thread? [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] 19:56, 27 August 2012 (CDT)
 
== Images ==
 
I saw your note in the forum. We are having a few issues with the server at the moment, but we are aware of the issue. I will get back to you when I have an answer. Currently, I have absolutely no clue how to delete the images though... Thats the only reason I hadn't responded to you already. Sorry bud. :-/ --[[User:Zackmann08|Zackmann08]] 07:37, 4 September 2012 (CDT)
 
I know how to capture gun scenes the easy way: press print screen/sys req next to scroll lock to capture the scene U want, open MS paint and press ctrl V and thats where I work my magic. Yesterday, I made a few new pictures for Batman 1989 which is the Tommy Gun and what I remember is this close up of a Thompson M1928 was clear and bright as crystal with what looks like sparks coming out of the compensator (at least thats what I THINK it is, cuz I'm not familiar with the characteristics of firearms). Now today, I discovered it looks more blury then yeaterday. It seems like I'm losing my vision and need glasses, but I'm not. Whats the big idea screwing around with that picture I uploaded yesterday?! And I even found the text in my Thompsonsparks.jpg file changed as well! (The text on the bottom of the picture box).
 
I think thats pretty much all the pictures I can add to Batman and Batman Returns. And no, I don't have a VLC player unfortunately. But I have been adding pics to different movies. But I MIGHT have more pictures on the way..... Just give me time.

This is a simple literal translation of Czech wording through Google translator:)--[[User:Pandolfini|Pandolfini]] ([[User talk:Pandolfini|talk]]) 18:11, 20 September 2012 (EDT)
 
So I translated the sentence again entered into the compiler and this fell out of it : "Yes, please try putting my sentences to the translator to give better translation." :)--[[User:Pandolfini|Pandolfini]] ([[User talk:Pandolfini|talk]]) 18:21, 20 September 2012 (EDT)
 
Only I  add that in Czech it does not make much sense. Otherwise, there is nothing strange in this country we say when the killer murders, so "works". It operates with a gun. This is the same as in the English word "uses".--[[User:Pandolfini|Pandolfini]] ([[User talk:Pandolfini|talk]]) 18:25, 20 September 2012 (EDT)
 
It does not make sense. The point is that there is the word "targeting" - Czech rather expressed by "AIMS", but in English appears to be "point". In short, there has to be that Teri Polo pointing a gun at Tia Carrere and Tia is bodyguard of Mr. Brewer. :)--[[User:Pandolfini|Pandolfini]] ([[User talk:Pandolfini|talk]]) 05:49, 21 September 2012 (EDT)
 
I know, I'm aware of the problem. Sometimes need to write a CV of actor and I insert  the whole text from the translator, but then it translates of the Googl Chrome and it sounds completely different and I have to redo again this translating :)--[[User:Pandolfini|Pandolfini]] ([[User talk:Pandolfini|talk]]) 01:27, 22 September 2012 (EDT)

You've edited [[Cold Steel]]? You found the word, which i´m  need -  "handles". It captures the Czech term "works" (works with). In Czech but it is funny, (like "process"  - how  raw material did for the product.), therefore me had not come without your help thought for the using. Thank you!--[[User:Pandolfini|Pandolfini]] ([[User talk:Pandolfini|talk]]) 02:49, 23 September 2012 (EDT)

No, I wrote that because I had assumed that you were already on it. (I'm right, aren't I?) Even if you're not, big movies like this usually don't stay incomplete for long.  --[[User:Funkychinaman|Funkychinaman]] ([[User talk:Funkychinaman|talk]]) 16:21, 25 September 2012 (EDT)

== SMG magazines placed behind the trigger. ==
 
Excuse me Ben41, but a day ago while I was playing GunApp and Gun Club 2 for Ipod/Iphone/Ipad, I came across this very strange SMG called the TAR-21. What makes it strange is that the magazine is placed BEHIND the trigger instead of in front like most SMGs E.G H&K MP5 and M4A1 Carbine. Whats the purpose of the magazine sometimes being placed behind the trigger instead of in front of it? Is it because it makes it look more cool like the Thompson SMG? Or is it for a different reason? If U know, alert me ASAP. Thanks! Gunnerboy--17:30

Colt XSE links

... but the Colt XSE link does't link to anything, not even the Colt Rail Gun. Instead, the Colt Rail Gun link links to Colt XSE, and Colt XSE links to itself, and none of them directs to the actual page with the Colt Rail Gun. What is going on with the redirect here? --Wuzh (talk) 02:42, 13 February 2019 (EST)

I undid the edits on Girl in the Spider's Web, The, as it is definetly not USP, no safety, which is distinct feature of USP. It is P2000 with a customized rail, it seems

login issues

It's a storage issue. We're out again. Might try an upgrade tomorrow night since I have Monday off. --bunni (talk) 21:28, 25 May 2019 (EDT)

Yes, was out of memory again. I've made some tweaks that will buy a couple weeks but the site actually needs to move to completely new hardware. I won't be able to do that until the 17th of June. --bunni (talk) 00:54, 9 June 2019 (EDT)

Uploaded picture

Hi, I uploaded this picture ...

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

... that I ment to use on the Spider-Man: Far From Home page but when I had uploaded it I noticed some information about copywright was attached to the file, so I am now unshure if I can use this picture. I'm not a native English speaker or know very much about copywright rules so if you could help me and tell me if I can use that picture on the page or not I would be very grateful.

Stranger Things Season 3

I finished the page, guess we both decided to screencap it.--Mandolin (talk) 15:46, 6 July 2019 (EDT)

21 Jump Street

I purposely replaced the two screencaps of the page since it's norm to have full-sized/non-cropped screenshots. I assume that you reverted them due to the big presence of the F-word, but... do we really enforce censoring curse words? As far as I've seen, censoring them is not a common practice on this site (unlike nudity), although I could be wrong. --Ultimate94ninja (talk) 08:22, 6 July 2019 (EDT)

Fair enough. --Ultimate94ninja (talk) 06:10, 8 July 2019 (EDT)

A SIMON rifle grenade seems to have appeared in Terminator: Genisys, fired by Sarah out of a helicopter in the middle of the film. I think you missed that in your screencaps. --Wuzh (talk) 00:15, 9 September 2019 (EDT)

Re:Continuing on 1985 MacGyver

Well, yes and no. Thing is, the blu-ray editions of 1985 incarnation are coming and the image quality of the PAL DVD collection I have is so "acceptable to unworkable" that it tends to make firearm identification harder than necessary. I see you have dumped the archived data on Season 5 and 6, but currently, I keep that stuff in discussion. I have some stuff already at Season 2's discussion page. But if you have yearning to do all the other seasons, I won't stop you. But once blu-rays of all the seasons are out, I'll get back to work with more conviction.

Splitting up the Star Wars pages

I am planning to split all the Star Wars "trilogy" pages into their individual film pages. The current format makes it difficult for readers to tell what weapons are found in each of the individual movies, and it's an unnecessary deviation from the format of the rest of the wiki. There is some support for this as can be seen on the Star Wars talk page. Seeing as you created the "trilogy" format originally, are you OK with me splitting up these pages? --Wuzh (talk) 18:03, 1 December 2019 (EST)

I don't have any new screenshots. This split is purely splitting up the images that we have. --Wuzh (talk) 20:44, 1 December 2019 (EST)
I'll just split out The Rise of Skywalker for now. It's unreleased anyways. I'll see if there is a way to get some of the screencaps that you want. No guarantees. --Wuzh (talk) 21:16, 1 December 2019 (EST)

I've been dissuaded from splitting up the prequel trilogy page by commando552; as for the original trilogy, I put that on hold because I was busy with schoolwork back then. I am going to split up the original trilogy page soon. --Wuzh (talk) 18:49, 11 February 2020 (EST)

Luke Cage

Greetings! I added a lot of firearms to the Luke Cage - Season 2 article. Considering that you are its main contibutor, I was wondering if you could help identifying the guns. Thank you very much in advance.--Shabook (talk) 07:30, 4 May 2020 (EDT)

Request

Hi Ben, please change my username to Mirko. (bunni declined my request to make a new account) Can you also confirm that this is a Kel Tec P11? Trailer Park Boys#Unknown 2

Thanks --Slum 5050 (talk) 17:38, 16 October 2020 (EDT)

Hi again I have an issue. E-mails aren't being sent to me by the site. Bunni actually did accept my request and I should have received an account creation password email on the 12th and never got it , and tonight I've sent 'reset your password' to both of my emails and still nothing.--Slum 5050 (talk) 21:31, 16 October 2020 (EDT)

Screenshot Request

Howdy! I've added the M1 Garand to Fargo Season 4 & supplied screenshots, but they're not the best quality. It seems you may have a better source than I do. I was wondering if you could perhaps update the screenshots. These were taken from "The Pretend War" (S4E04) starting at about 15:10 minutes in. It is very odd that the weapons being discussed & shown here are M1 Garands, however, they are never seen again after this scene. --RealEveryDay (talk) 12:27, 23 November 2020 (EST)
I probably will update. Thanks for the details. --Ben41 (talk) 19:06, 24 November 2020 (EST)
Dude, thank you SO much for updating those screencaps for the Garand on Fargo season 4! You literally pulled the same frames I used! Well done. I appreciate your professionalism! o7 RealEveryDay (talk) 16:15, 6 December 2020 (EST)

The Stand (2020)

Still a few innocuous scoped hunting rifles to screencap and there is a shot of Norris (Nicholas Lea) issuing what appears to be Glock 17 pistols to the newly organized Boulder Free Zone Police in episode nine: "The Circle Closes".

Contacting bunni

Hello Ben41. As you may know, recently me and several other IMFDB users have been trying to find ways to resolve issues related to IMFDB accounts reported by several off-site IMFDB users (more details here). We have been trying to contact site owner bunni about this issue, but it has been difficult to reach them. Especially since a similar attempt to contact bunni back in 2021, posted directly on their talk page, did not receive any replies.

I have been suspecting that the contributions made by bunni the account, which since at least the last year have consisted exclusively of creating new user pages, is an automated process, and that bunni the user is actually no longer an active user of IMFDB. This makes it far more difficult to contact bunni, in turn making it far harder to resolve the issues related to account creation that we're currently facing. Do you, or anyone else in the IMFDB staff community, know of a more direct to contact bunni the user? --Wuzh (talk) 20:34, 17 July 2022 (EDT)

S.W.A.T Season 6 Episode 1 & 2

What happen to the firearms from the two part premiere of S.W.A.T Season 6 episodes 1 & 2? Because I known most of the rifles in those episodes were AK variants.

Please don't perform cut-and-paste page moves

When fixing the broken titled pages, you should use the "Move" tool found under the "More ˅" menu next to the edit button. Do not copy all the contents of a page and paste them into a new page; not only is this much more work, it also causes breaks in page histories that might cause further issues down the line.--Wuzh (talk) 18:30, 21 January 2023 (UTC)

Filipino movies featured for independence day

Hi! I would like to ask if we could feature a selection of Filipino movies on the Main Page for the week of Philippine Independence Day (June 11 to 17).
