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 1911 Template to the 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.

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.

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. --Zackmann08 23:40, 17 June 2012 (CDT)

Also, I BEG you... please read my request about redirects In the forum... I cannot tell you how frustrating this is... --Zackmann08 23:44, 17 June 2012 (CDT)

Any thoughts? --Zackmann08 22:31, 18 June 2012 (CDT)

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. --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. :-) --Zackmann08 19:50, 21 June 2012 (CDT)

"The Killing" screenshots

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?

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 :)

I have tried to replace the old screenshots on Mississippi Burning with newer, better shots, but I can't seem to get the new ones to load using the old jpeg name. Help! User Name:Elzzupa 13:58 14 November 2013

Template:Wrong Turn Series

Can you do me a favor and rollback Van Tu's edits to Template:Wrong Turn Series? --Zackmann08 09:32, 22 June 2012 (CDT)

So the guy removed the freaking template from his "pages" and screwed up the format... GRRRRR. --Zackmann08 09:38, 22 June 2012 (CDT)

I went ahead and restored the original version, but take a look at what he did... --Zackmann08 12:38, 22 June 2012 (CDT)

I agree. I'm less concerned with the template and more concerned with the fact that he removed it but yea... --Zackmann08 22:29, 22 June 2012 (CDT)

Van tu

So our good buddy Van Tu has created himself a second account and recreated the My Way (2011) page that you deleted. I know I'm not an admin and I don't want to over step but i think this guy needs to get the boot. He's violating rule after rule and has yet to respond to anyone's requests. --Zackmann08 11:28, 23 June 2012 (CDT)

I think he's created account number 3 now. I have a feeling "Leavemealone" is the same guy. --Funkychinaman 14:18, 24 June 2012 (CDT)

Yes, it's he. The same modus operandi. :) And this is number four: 18:52, 24 June 2012 Leavemealone (Talk | contribs) created new account User:Come with me (Talk | contribs). Greg-Z 14:40, 24 June 2012 (CDT)

Well... Damn

Oh well I guess I'll have to find another series that is acceptable on the site. Oh and since the page was nuked can you please delete the photos I took for it? Thanks Mr.Ice 00:43, 26 June 2012 (CDT)

Request for deletion

Please delete several files that I uploaded in past but now they are not used: File:Blastfighter-Revolver-4.jpg, File:Blastfighter-Revolver-6.jpg, File:Blastfighter-SPAS12-1.jpg, File:Blastfighter-SPAS12-11.jpg, File:Blastfighter-SPAS12-4.jpg, File:Blastfighter-SPAS12-9.jpg, File:Commando_Leopard-Rifle-2.jpg, File:The_Adventures_of_Sherlock_Holmes_and_Dr._Watson_-_Watson_revolver_-_placeholder.jpg.

thanks

Many thanks! :-) --Zackmann08 09:14, 27 June 2012 (CDT)

Also, sorry for deleting 24: The Game. It truly seemed like it was not up to par. Looks like it's getting some work done on it tho. :-) Seems like sometimes when a page gets deleted people go "oh wait, I want to do that!" --Zackmann08 09:54, 27 June 2012 (CDT)

Advice

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? --Zackmann08 13:18, 27 June 2012 (CDT)

next of kin

i got next of kin on DVD. i can snapshot some of the guns. i need the names of the guns that was used in Next of Kin. --Boo2795 12:16, 29 June 2012 (CDT)

A Rumor of War

Hey man. Whats the story with your A Rumor of War page?? --Zackmann08 09:07, 3 July 2012 (CDT)

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. Mainly I just wanted to make sure you hadn't forgotten about it. I now know you haven't so I will leave it be. :-) --Zackmann08 20:38, 3 July 2012 (CDT)

Upcoming tag

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. --Funkychinaman 01:10, 15 July 2012 (CDT)

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. --Funkychinaman 01:29, 15 July 2012 (CDT)

True, but we can always change the name. --Funkychinaman 01:38, 15 July 2012 (CDT)

Re:Page Templates

Thanks, I'll use these new templates. Сoncerning actors pages: I still think that it's better to put the year of birth (maybe not birthday date) at the page. We can see how old was the actor when he/she appeared in some movie. Greg-Z 02:37, 25 July 2012 (CDT)

Templates

Honestly I wasnt planning on it but they are SUPER helpful. One thing that would be great is if you could add them to the "Category:Category Templates". I tried to organize all the Templates into different categories so that they are easier to navigate. I think it was you who suggested this actually... Can't remember. --Zackmann08 09:15, 25 July 2012 (CDT)

Thanks!

Thank you. And what irony, I can finally zap spammers on my own, only to find no spammers. --Funkychinaman 18:53, 25 July 2012 (CDT)

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.

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

Question

Why were reality TV shows banned? While I understand that some shows do not warrant a page there are some reality shows out there that have many weapons in it.Mr.Ice 23:44, 28 July 2012 (CDT)

Law & Order

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.) I'll try out a split of season 1. --Funkychinaman 20:19, 6 August 2012 (CDT)

Spam

So spam has dramatically decreased lately as a result of the new system put in place by Bunni but we still have the occasional jerk who gets through. For future reference, if anyone does start doing stuff like our pal Weston1911 did, will you message me? I am compiling a "blacklist" that includes the e-mail and IP the user used when they registered. It will help prevent them from registering in the future. Thanks man! --Zackmann08 10:34, 17 August 2012 (CDT)

Weston1911

Well, he remembered that "Jamal pick my cotton" thing that Liam did back when Excalibur got rid of the page for either Killzone or Halo (I forget which), so yeah, it's him. Evil Tim 02:41, 18 August 2012 (CDT)

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? 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. :-/ --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.

Quick

This is a simple literal translation of Czech wording through Google translator:)--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." :)--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".--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. :)--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 :)--Pandolfini (talk) 01:27, 22 September 2012 (EDT)

Thank you!--Pandolfini (talk) 02:49, 23 September 2012 (EDT)

(sigh) Fine. :( U twisted my arm. Wait, how about I send U the images on what guns from what movie(s) to post so that way, U can make the same pics with better quality? :/ The reason: my parents won't let me download anything (due to the fact they made up a password for the family CPU that I don't know, and downloading things will require that password.) So, that means I cant get that VLC player to make HQ pics. :(--Gunnerboy (talk) 00:15, 18 October 2012 (EDT)Gunnerboy Oct 17 2012 21:15

OK, I'm on it. I'll try as hard as i can. At 1st, hearing U say that message in the previous note made me feel like giving up/retiring from this website. Also, U didn't answer my question about the grenade launchers used by riot police and Y police/SWAT don't use those big weapons (tanks, bazookas, miniguns etc.).--Gunnerboy (talk) 19:38, 18 October 2012 (EDT)

It's one thing to make mistakes sometime, but you have made the same mistakes, consistently, and don't seem interested in trying to improve.

Howard the Duck

Ben41, I checked all the movies that contain firearms and theres just one movie left out of IMFDB, Howard the Duck. It has either Remington 870s or Winchesters (I don't know exacly what kind they are because of the large cocking/pumping handle). But maybe you can start this article and identify the shotguns or rifles used.--Gunnerboy (talk) 21:56, 7 November 2012 (EST)

Actor Biography.

It's abbreviated, but only 2 sentences might not make any sense, it is probably not meant seriously, right? This could only write when and where he was born and became an actor and that's nonsense. There should be indicated in what played important cast and what prices received and also his brief family situation (married, children).

That's what I thought too. And the weird thing is, while the 1954 version doesn't have comma, the 1997 remake DOES have the comma in the title. Anyway, I'd hate to harp on the OP for improperly formatting titles and then change it the one time he follows the rules and gets it right. --Funkychinaman (talk) 02:18, 18 February 2013 (EST)

Re: Actor bios

I don't use online translators. All mistakes in my edits are my own, not of some dumb computer. :) But to be serious, I try to write actors bio entries according to the guidelines. I think that the birthdate of an actor is valuable because it allows to see how old an actor was in some movie. And for many non-famous actors this is the only fact that can be found. I think that in future I'll omit the bio entry if nothing relevant to the site can be found. Thanks for help! Greg-Z (talk) 02:13, 18 February 2013 (EST)

While uploading screenshot for the Steele Justice page one of the photos repeatedly kept bringing up the message: Could not create directory "mwstore://local-backend/local-public/0/00". Is there a way to fix this?Mr.Ice (talk) 13:15, 24 February 2013 (EST)

NCIS Bravo 51 Rifle.

Ben, The Bravo 51 is the green rifle . the black rifle is just a stock Remington PSS. Just FYI. Reboundspring.

The Heineken Kidnapping

Hi Ben41, thanks for your comments on The Heineken Kidnapping, two questions though.

(1) You revised SWAT team for KCT but this is incorrect. The special forces in the movie are so-called ‘arrestatie teams’ (‘arrest teams’) that are part of the Dutch police forces and see action when the regular police forces need more muscle. They can be distinguished by their blue berets and not surprisingly, their website (scroll all the way down for ‘beret images’) is actually called ‘The Blue Beret’. The KCT, on the other hand, are part of the Army and can be distinguished by a green berets (see their KCT website). With the special forces in the movie operating along police forces and carrying blue berets, I take the liberty to change back to SWAT, which is the name they actually use on their website.

(2) I am wondering why you resized some gun images from 400px to 300/460px. Isn’t 400px the standard for gun images?

Let me know what you think, --PeeWee055 (talk) 14:58, 1 March 2013 (EST)

Thanks for your comments on the size of gunimages, I never gave this much thought and simply always applied 400px. I played around a bit and indeed 300px (handguns) and 460px (rifles) is the best option, --PeeWee055 (talk) 08:11, 2 March 2013 (EST)

In Plain Sight

So MASSIVE facepalm on my part... Obviously I copied the template from the CSI page. Thanks for catching that. :-) --Zackmann08 (talk) 12:07, 2 March 2013 (EST)

Hell is for Heroes

Some of those original file names are horrible (Carbine.JPG). It might be better to upload some of them as new files rather than new versions under the old names. --Funkychinaman (talk) 08:43, 7 March 2013 (EST)

Daryl's New Crossbow

Since Daryl has a new crossbow can we post it on The Walking Dead Season 3 site?--Balin21 (talk) 15:42, 11 March 2013 (EDT)

Replacing Screenshots

Wow. You do a really great job of matching the frame when replacing the DVD source shot with a Blu-Ray shot! Great work! MPM (edit) you use Windows machine don't you? I'm having difficulties with MAC and Blu Ray caps. :( MoviePropMaster2008 (talk) 00:48, 17 March 2013 (EDT)

Model 31?

Hey Ben41. This can't be a Model 31. It looks like a Winchester Model 12 field gun. MoviePropMaster2008 (talk) 14:17, 19 March 2013 (EDT) (edit_ oops looks like JCordell already fixed the A View to a Kill page. Thanks. )

CSI

Well that was freaking stupid... I was trying to delete a completely different page but had way to many tabs open. Thanks for catching that. --Zackmann08 IMFDB Chief of Operations (talk) 21:37, 22 March 2013 (EDT)

Screencapping tips

Do you mind if I just create a redirect to your screencapping tips? Or do you think we should just create a separate page for it? --Funkychinaman (talk) 13:00, 28 March 2013 (EDT)

Thanks. Bednardos (talk) 20:35, 01 April 2013 (EET)

Thanks

Thank you very much for the tips! Im new at this and that really helped a lot so thank you!! --ErikSantiago (talk)

Revolution

do you know how to capture screencaps so i can update Revolution.

Invasion USA

No, no, no! But of course you can do it. I was actually celebrating that you did it, so that I did not have to suffer through the movie again to do it. So please, by all means, do it! :D LOL MoviePropMaster2008 (talk) 02:12, 13 April 2013 (EDT)

The Usual Suspects - mini 14 Screenshots

Can you get more screenshots of the Ruger Mini 14s for "The Usual Suspects"? I no longer have the movie (someone borrowed my DVD and never returned it) and I was always curious as to the multiple configurations of Mini 14 in the film. Thanks if you can do this. :) best regards MoviePropMaster2008 (talk) 21:55, 14 April 2013 (EDT)

Changing resolution?

If you mean Invasion USA (1952) page, then I'm sorry for changing the resolution on the rifle images, I just wanted to make the sizes of the images better. --Garsenal (talk)

Walking Dead - Season 3

I don't see how listing that Andrea uses the Colt Python is a spoiler on the Season 3 page of The Walking Dead. I'm not saying what she does with the Python, but nevertheless she does use it in the Season 3 finale. I went ahead and listed the Colt on Laurie Holden's page as well as on the Python page. FWIW I think it's a safe bet to say that within a very short while everybody interested in The Walking Dead will know what Andrea does with Rick's Python. Hmmm that sounds a little obscene doesn't it. LOL --Jcordell (talk) 16:39, 18 April 2013 (EDT)

RE Criminal Minds

- Thanks man, good to be back. Seems like quite a bit has changed but not a whole lot. Glad to get back into it. I appreciate your help on Howard the Duck. I was planning to do the page before I left, but a lot has happened since then - Bah, that's something else. Anyway, I'll help and add where I can as I can, most of it I did get set up though by streamlining the pages to only the relevant entries for the particular season, but it's a lot to go over. At least it's one of my favorite shows though. I made a backup of the single page stuff on the original/Season list talk page so all of that can be retrieved if need be. I'll continue modding it as I go. Thanks for getting the groundwork for the individual seasons going. If you could let me know what seasons/episodes you have available, that would help, I can focus on the other seasons (as well as spots where you can get screengrabs for the ones you do have). I know you're working on a lot of other stuff so no rush, just let me know when you can, thanks again. StanTheMan (talk) 20:48, 19 April 2013 (EDT)

Ok cool. Good to see some pics on Season 8, as that page was pretty bare. Later on, I'll try to pinpoint some extra spots on 1 and 4 since you're going for those too. Seasons 2 and 4 are thus far my favorite seasons, though I'd give the slight edge to 2 (I'm a big fan of Gideon). Anyway, I'll start checking the other seasons and get what I can. I can certainly beef up text descriptions/sections in some spots. Thanks for the reply. StanTheMan (talk) 13:22, 20 April 2013 (EDT)
