This is the second level of the game, and the first actual test involving paint (as Nigel says in the previous Test Chamber).

== Purpose ==
This test takes place across three different rooms. The first two rooms serve to teach the player the basics of using the Paint Gun. The third room is an advanced navigation course, teaching more tricks you can do with [[Repulsion Gel]].

== Contents ==
=== Hazards ===
* [[Goo]]

== Walkthrough ==
* {{spoiler|Walk out of the makeshift [[Chamberlock]].}}
* {{spoiler|Spray the wooden panel in front of you with Repulsion Gel from the gun. Use it to jump over the wall.}}
* {{spoiler|Proceed through the door.}}
* {{spoiler|Spray the wooden panel and walls in front of you and behind you with Repulsion Gel.}}
* {{spoiler|Jump off the floored gel, and use the height and wall-mounted gel to reach the ledge. ''This will later on be referred to as the "Gel Wall Jump". The verb is '''to wall jump [to somewhere] with gel'''.''}}
* {{spoiler|Spray the wooden panel extruding over the next pit with Repulsion Gel.}}
* {{spoiler|Use it to jump over to the exit of the second room.}}
* {{spoiler|Hop into the mid-test Chamberlock vent, then exit the room you end up in.}}

ARJr: /* PGTI support */ reply

If it's possible, perhaps allow for a 'dirty' version of the chamber signs for Portal 2? Or is this unnecessary as it's part of a relatively small part of the game? [[User:I-ghost|I-ghost]] 18:29, 28 May 2011 (UTC)
:Actually it's the case for almost all of the signs in Portal 2, so yes that would be very cool. I wouldn't know where to look for those textures though :( — [[User:WindPower|Wind]] 18:45, 28 May 2011 (UTC)
::The textures for this are located in pak01_dir.vpk/materials/models/props_animsigns [[User:I-ghost|I-ghost]] 19:05, 28 May 2011 (UTC)

{{c|Done}} — [[User:WindPower|Wind]] 04:40, 11 September 2012 (UTC)

== PGTI support ==

I'm in the process of expanding the [[Aperture Tag: The Paint Gun Testing Initiative]] test chamber articles, and I wonder if it's possible to add gel indicators to the chamber sign, as adding the available gels as plain text in the contents section of the page takes up a bit too much space than I'd like. Thanks in advance, either for the permission or for doing it yourself, whichever comes after this. — ''Your '''Friendly Faith Plate''' — [[User:ARJr|ARJr]]'' 15:52, 18 September 2021 (UTC)
:That one must be brought up to the admins who wrote the infobox script, since the chamber infobox template works with advanced CSS, JavaScript and wiki markup. Also, I think the mod warrants a different infobox template entirely, because of it's unique properties. ~ [[User:Headquarter8302|<span style="color: blue; padding: 3px; border: 1px solid black;">Headquarter</span>]][[User talk:Headquarter8302|<span style="color: orange; padding: 3px; border: 1px solid black">8302</span>]] 02:31, 19 September 2021 (UTC)

:: What are gel indicators exactly? It's been a few years since I played this mod.
:: As for permission, you can edit most templates anytime. However, we do require that you make any changes under your own userspace (ex: [[User:ARJr/Sandbox]]), as your changes may unintentionally break something. — [[User:Tark|<span style="font-weight:bold;color: #5BC236">Tark</span>]] 05:49, 19 September 2021 (UTC)

:::Good to know!
:::To answer your initial question, basically they show what gels the Paint Gun Activation Fields activate for the Paint Gun in the chamber (e.g. Stage Chamber 8 only uses the [[Repulsion Gel]], so the blue gel indicator will be lit up, but the orange ([[Propulsion Gel|Propulsion]]) gel indicator will not.) — ''Your '''Friendly Faith Plate''' — [[User:ARJr|ARJr]]'' 05:53, 19 September 2021 (UTC)

::::Done, you can check at [[User:ARJr/Sandbox/Template:ApTag Chamber infobox]]. Awaiting permission to merge with this template page. — ''Your '''Friendly Faith Plate''' — [[User:ARJr|ARJr]]'' 08:51, 19 September 2021 (UTC)

This is the fourth level of the game.

== Purpose ==
This test chamber introduces the concept of removing [[Weighted Storage Cube|cubes]] from [[Heavy Duty Super-Colliding Super Button|buttons]], which will become practically essential during the chambers up ahead. It also reintroduces two testing elements from the Intro - the [[Excursion Funnel]] and the [[Thermal Discouragement Beam]].

== Contents ==
=== Mechanics ===
* [[Weighted Storage Cube]]
* [[Heavy Duty Super-Colliding Super Button|Buttons]]
* [[Excursion Funnel]]

=== Hazards ===
* [[Goo]]
* [[Thermal Discouragement Beam]]

== Walkthrough ==
* {{spoiler|Exit the makeshift [[Chamberlock]].}}
* {{spoiler|Wait until Nigel finishes showing off the monitors and opens the door. Exit the room you're in.}}
* {{spoiler|Drop down to the wooden panel in front of you.}}
* {{spoiler|Bounce up to the ledge in front of you with the Repulsion Gel.}}
* {{spoiler|Drop down to the cube, and bounce back to the start of the chamber with the cube.}}
* {{spoiler|Place the cube on the ground.}}
* {{spoiler|Spray the wooden panel to your right with Repulsion Gel. Use it to bounce up to the ledge behind it.}}
* {{spoiler|Spray the panel you land on, as well as the wall behind it, with the gel.}}
* {{spoiler|Bounce back to the cube.}}

:* off - Completely gray (turned... well, off)
:* blue - Lit up blue ([[Repulsion Gel]] indicator on)
:* orange - Lit up orange ([[Propulsion Gel]] indicator on)

This is the first level of [[Aperture Tag: The Paint Gun Testing Initiative|the game]], acting as a brief tutorial level.

== Purpose ==
This test chamber intends to introduce the player to the world of Aperture Tag, as well as the basic controls should the player happen to be playing this as their first game in the ''Portal'' series.

== Contents ==
=== Mechanics ===
* [[Excursion Funnel]]
* [[Weighted Storage Cube]]
* [[Buttons]]
* [[Portal Spawner|Portals]] ''(NOTE: Aperture Tag has no available Portal Gun, so every time we're referring to [[Portals|portals]] here, we're actually referring to the [[Portal Spawner|Portal Spawners]] that appear in the test chamber to spawn the portals.)''
* [[Hard Light Bridge]]
* [[Aerial Faith Plate]]
* [[Discouragement Redirection Cube]]
* [[Pneumatic Diversity Vent]]

=== Hazards ===
* Falling to Death
* [[Turrets]]
* [[Thermal Discouragement Beam]]

== Walkthrough ==
* {{spoiler|After the cutscene and after Nigel opens the door, walk out of the room you're in.}}
* {{spoiler|Walk to your right to see the room [[Chell]] wakes up in at the start of ''[[Portal 2]]''. Nigel will soon fold it into the room though, akin to [[F-Stop]].}}
* {{spoiler|Walk out of the room, and then to your left. Follow the corridor until you reach the elevator.}}
* {{spoiler|Press the button, then jump down the open elevator shaft.}}
* {{spoiler|Jump down to the plank to your left, then turn around and jump over the gap, to the catwalk.}}
* {{spoiler|Follow the catwalk to the Excursion Funnel, then jump into it.}}
* {{spoiler|Fall down into the half-broken test chamber below where the funnel ends.}}
* {{spoiler|Grab the Weighted Storage Cube and place it on the button.}}
* {{spoiler|Walk across the Hard Light Bridge that has just activated.}}
* {{spoiler|Push the Pedestal Button, and walk through the portal, into another Excursion Funnel.}}
* {{spoiler|Fall down where it ends.}}
* {{spoiler|Fling the Turrets off of the platform, then take the Aerial Faith Plate.}}
* {{spoiler|Redirect the Thermal Discouragement Beam to its receptacle and the relays with the Discouragement Redirection Cubes.}}
* {{spoiler|Grab the Paint Gun. The Pneumatic Diversity Vent will take you to the next chamber.}}

This is the second level of the game, and the first actual test involving paint (as Nigel says in the previous Test Chamber).

===== Initial conversation (change title appropriately please ''— ARJr'') =====
If it's possible, perhaps allow for a 'dirty' version of the chamber signs for Portal 2? Or is this unnecessary as it's part of a relatively small part of the game? [[User:I-ghost|I-ghost]] 18:29, 28 May 2011 (UTC)
:Actually it's the case for almost all of the signs in Portal 2, so yes that would be very cool. I wouldn't know where to look for those textures though :( — [[User:WindPower|Wind]] 18:45, 28 May 2011 (UTC)

== PGTI support ==
I was wondering if [[Aperture Tag: The Paint Gun Testing Initiative|PGTI]] support could be added for the signs. I'm working on expanding the chamber articles for that, and making a separate Contents section for the available Paint Gun gels takes up a bit too much space as plain text.

== Canon Portal storyline ==
Trying to start off some articles for the characters I realized that the Portal timeline and storyline has been changed by Valve quite a few time. For instance last year they gave gameinformer [http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2010/03/24/aperture-science_3a00_-a-history.aspx this timeline] which states Cave Johnson contracted mercury poisoning, while in-game he states he became ill after grinding up poisonous moon rocks. Also from what I recall his motivations for building GLaDOS were different during the Portal 2 announcement ARG. This is probably a result of Valve constantly changing the Portal 2 storyline as the game developed. In short I'm finding it difficult to build a storyline without it contradicting itself everywhere. I propose we take everything in Portal 2 as hard fact (obviously) and take everything else from reliable sources (the ARG, gameinformer article(?)) as long as it doesn't contradict with statements made in Portal 2. '''<span style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:85%;">—[[User:Moussekateer|M]][[File:User Moussekateer signature portal.png|19px|link=User:Moussekateer]][[User:Moussekateer|ussekateer]]·[[User talk:Moussekateer|<span style="color:black;font-size:85%;">talk</span>]]</span>''' 15:57, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

:There's no official story about the Cave Johnson bit, but there seems to be a consensus around the community that the story in gameinformer was a "cover story" for the public. Of course, that's all speculation. My recommendation is that if something in the game contradicts other information, then the game should take precedence as the official canonical version. I have the feeling that most of what was in the ARG is going to get cut. Even some things as recent as the second ARG, like Cave Johnson's portrait (Google image search Cave Johnson, you'll see what I mean) is different in-game. {{N}}<span style="vertical-align: 2px;margin-left:20px;">[[File:User Moussekateer signature portal.png|13px|link=User:Alex2539]]</span>[[User:Alex2539|<span style="font-style:italic;margin-left:-27px;font-weight:bold;font-variant:small-caps;font-size:75%;">Alex</span>]]  [[File:User Alex2539 signature portal.png|13px|link=User:Alex2539]][[User:Alex2539|<span style="font-style:italic;vertical-align: -3px;margin-left:-1em;font-weight:bold;font-size:75%;">2539</span>]] <span style="font-size:55%">([[User talk:Alex2539|t]]{{Md}}[[Special:Contributions/Alex2539|c]])</span> 21:09, 23 April 2011 (UTC)
: One thing to consider is that CJ might have thought Mercury was "moon rocks" because it was called Mercury. He wasn't exactly scientifically inclined so it's a possibility, even if it is a stretch. It makes sense to me that Mercury could be a good portal conductor too. -- [[User:Lagg|Lagg]] [[Image:User Lagg OPTF2 icon.png|link=User talk:Lagg]] 21:15, 23 April 2011 (UTC)
:: Well mercury is liquid at room temperature, so it's hard to imagine it being confused with a rock of any sort. That's not really the point though. What matters is that there is a contradiction.

== Mod articles? ==
So I stumbled on the page for [[Portal: Project-Beta]] and I think this deserves addressing while the Wiki is still young. What is our policy on mods? Obviously we can't have an article for every mod under the sun, but some, like [[Portal: Prelude]] are obviously deserving. For those that are less obvious, what criteria should be met before an article is considered for them? My first instinct is to prefer those that are notable and available for download. There should also probably be a minimum level of quality. I should mention that I don't mean to say that Project-Beta is undeserving of an article, I don't know the mod well enough to judge. Instead, if it is deserving i would like to know ''why'' and what other mods should be included. {{N}}<span style="vertical-align: 2px;margin-left:20px;">[[File:User Moussekateer signature portal.png|13px|link=User:Alex2539]]</span>[[User:Alex2539|<span style="font-style:italic;margin-left:-27px;font-weight:bold;font-variant:small-caps;font-size:75%;">Alex</span>]]  [[File:User Alex2539 signature portal.png|13px|link=User:Alex2539]][[User:Alex2539|<span style="font-style:italic;vertical-align: -3px;margin-left:-1em;font-weight:bold;font-size:75%;">2539</span>]] <span style="font-size:55%">([[User talk:Alex2539|t]]{{Md}}[[Special:Contributions/Alex2539|c]])</span> 20:06, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

== "The Ball" ==

As "The Ball" from the Potato Sack seems to exist in the Portal universe (and has also been released on Valve) should there be an article?

:::I would say a game has an official crossover if there is actually story involved that we know of and it is more than a cameo. For example, the Space Core in Skyrim is much more of a cameo appearance; as far as I know (haven't gotten Skyrim yet so cannot say) there is no story advancement with him. However in games where there is some sort of story (Freeman and Johnson rivalry) it might merit a mention.

== Minor/mentioned characters ==

In the comic [[Lab Rat]], it mentions a character by the name of Henry.

It goes like this:

''Portal: Imminent Crisis'' is a '''live-action full-length feature film''' starring me (UH! I know.) working around various sections of Aperture Science to defeat a mastermind (I know that sounds lame, but come on!).

Writing for the screenplay has already started and will end November 2013. Vlogs will be made when we hit a certain milestone (Links can be found [[User:DSnWiiRocks|here]].

We already have a production company by our side to help finish this film. It will be released on YouTube for absolutely '''FREE''', with our bowl of ramen being paid with ad revenue.

"So, what do you say?

== It's quiet here mate. ==

Portal, and its sequel is my favorite games over the years, and only games I actually completed.

It concerns me however, '''Valve has forgotten about Caroline (I insist), and Chell, and swept it under the rug.'''

The last patch for Portal 2 is '''nine months old, and no further dev will probably be made''' (Chell left, brother.)

So, what will be the future of this? Like how Wheatley puts it at the end of the game while in space:

"The end."

== Adding discussion on little details you might of missed ==
So I was playing Portal 2, when I noticed cool little things-these little details that we normally miss. I want to post these on this discussion, any I don't find, could you guys post them?

The first one I noticed is that one of the turrets, on the redemption line if I remember correctly, said things like "don't make lemonade" and "get mad". The most intriguing of them to me was when the turret said "the answer is below" and "her name is Caroline". I won't say why these are important due to spoilers, but it is kind of impressive as to how the turret learned those things.

Ill try to keep adding the ones I don't have time for now.

== Turret theory ==

I have a theory about turrets. You know how right after you kill them they say stuff like "I don't blame you" and "I don't hate you"? Well maybe the turrets are actually good but they are being forced to be evil. And maybe the reason they say nice things right before they deactivate is because they are dying and glados can't do anything bad to them while they are dead. This makes me feel bad for the turrets :(

== Using namespaces (rather than subpages) to host other languages. ==

So far, subpages have been used to store other languages. This can clutter things like moving pages and random page. There have been attempts to fix this, but there kind of a hack and don't really work very well. So I am proposing that we add extra namespaces, like this.

<code>
define('NS_SPANISH', 1336);<br/>
define('NS_SPANISH_TALK', 1337);<br/>
$wgExtraNamespaces[NS_SPANISH] = 'Spanish';<br/>
$wgExtraNamespaces[NS_PRIVATE_TALK] = 'Spanish_talk';<br/>
</code>

This way, both problems are solved and it's more organized.

: Hey there. To answer the last question first, not a whole lot. As you can see, there are some people still here, myself included. There's just not a whole lot in the Portal community to write about these days, so people tend not to. Moondust hasn't been touched really (and I can't because I can't do VR on my setup), and [[The Lab]] is unfinished. It's a very casual place now, as far as pacing goes, but we are still in partnership with the TF2 Wiki, are on their server, and have most of their staff on our staff (as inactive as they may be here), so we must maintain a high level of quality despite the slowness and our unofficial status. As far as uploading all of those pictures, good job! I agree that the Associate art is interesting, as well as the Henry card since it's an actual model instead of just a comic picture.

:Aside from the few updates that happen with Portal 2, there's not really a lot going on in the community. There's no shortage of stuff to 'do', but there's just a lack of enthusiasm due to the lack of new official content. It'll pick back up at some point.

== Canon Portal storyline ==
Trying to start off some articles for the characters I realized that the Portal timeline and storyline has been changed by Valve quite a few time. For instance last year they gave gameinformer [http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2010/03/24/aperture-science_3a00_-a-history.aspx this timeline] which states Cave Johnson contracted mercury poisoning, while in-game he states he became ill after grinding up poisonous moon rocks. Also from what I recall his motivations for building GLaDOS were different during the Portal 2 announcement ARG. This is probably a result of Valve constantly changing the Portal 2 storyline as the game developed. In short I'm finding it difficult to build a storyline without it contradicting itself everywhere. I propose we take everything in Portal 2 as hard fact (obviously) and take everything else from reliable sources (the ARG, gameinformer article(?)) as long as it doesn't contradict with statements made in Portal 2. '''<span style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:85%;">—[[User:Moussekateer|M]][[File:User Moussekateer signature portal.png|19px|link=User:Moussekateer]][[User:Moussekateer|ussekateer]]·[[User talk:Moussekateer|<span style="color:black;font-size:85%;">talk</span>]]</span>''' 15:57, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

:There's no official story about the Cave Johnson bit, but there seems to be a consensus around the community that the story in gameinformer was a "cover story" for the public. Of course, that's all speculation. My recommendation is that if something in the game contradicts other information, then the game should take precedence as the official canonical version. I have the feeling that most of what was in the ARG is going to get cut. Even some things as recent as the second ARG, like Cave Johnson's portrait (Google image search Cave Johnson, you'll see what I mean) is different in-game. {{N}}<span style="vertical-align: 2px;margin-left:20px;">[[File:User Moussekateer signature portal.png|13px|link=User:Alex2539]]</span>[[User:Alex2539|<span style="font-style:italic;margin-left:-27px;font-weight:bold;font-variant:small-caps;font-size:75%;">Alex</span>]]  [[File:User Alex2539 signature portal.png|13px|link=User:Alex2539]][[User:Alex2539|<span style="font-style:italic;vertical-align: -3px;margin-left:-1em;font-weight:bold;font-size:75%;">2539</span>]] <span style="font-size:55%">([[User talk:Alex2539|t]]{{Md}}[[Special:Contributions/Alex2539|c]])</span> 21:09, 23 April 2011 (UTC)
: One thing to consider is that CJ might have thought Mercury was "moon rocks" because it was called Mercury. He wasn't exactly scientifically inclined so it's a possibility, even if it is a stretch. It makes sense to me that Mercury could be a good portal conductor too. -- [[User:Lagg|Lagg]] [[Image:User Lagg OPTF2 icon.png|link=User talk:Lagg]] 21:15, 23 April 2011 (UTC)
:: Well mercury is liquid at room temperature, so it's hard to imagine it being confused with a rock of any sort. That's not really the point though. What matters is that there is a contradiction. Since the game says "moon rocks" we should too. It might be worth mentioning that previous material mentioned mercury poisoning but we can't possibly give a reason for the change without falling into supposition. Unless an official explanation is given, the games should take precedence as "fact", everything else is a note of interest. {{N}}<span style="vertical-align: 2px;margin-left:20px;">[[File:User Moussekateer signature portal.png|13px|link=User:Alex2539]]</span>[[User:Alex2539|<span style="font-style:italic;margin-left:-27px;font-weight:bold;font-variant:small-caps;font-size:75%;">Alex</span>]]  [[File:User Alex2539 signature portal.png|13px|link=User:Alex2539]][[User:Alex2539|<span style="font-style:italic;vertical-align: -3px;margin-left:-1em;font-weight:bold;font-size:75%;">2539</span>]] <span style="font-size:55%">([[User talk:Alex2539|t]]{{Md}}[[Special:Contributions/Alex2539|c]])</span> 01:07, 24 April 2011 (UTC)

== Quotes ==

== Mod articles? ==
So I stumbled on the page for [[Portal: Project-Beta]] and I think this deserves addressing while the Wiki is still young. What is our policy on mods? Obviously we can't have an article for every mod under the sun, but some, like [[Portal: Prelude]] are obviously deserving. For those that are less obvious, what criteria should be met before an article is considered for them? My first instinct is to prefer those that are notable and available for download. There should also probably be a minimum level of quality. I should mention that I don't mean to say that Project-Beta is undeserving of an article, I don't know the mod well enough to judge. Instead, if it is deserving i would like to know ''why'' and what other mods should be included. {{N}}<span style="vertical-align: 2px;margin-left:20px;">[[File:User Moussekateer signature portal.png|13px|link=User:Alex2539]]</span>[[User:Alex2539|<span style="font-style:italic;margin-left:-27px;font-weight:bold;font-variant:small-caps;font-size:75%;">Alex</span>]]  [[File:User Alex2539 signature portal.png|13px|link=User:Alex2539]][[User:Alex2539|<span style="font-style:italic;vertical-align: -3px;margin-left:-1em;font-weight:bold;font-size:75%;">2539</span>]] <span style="font-size:55%">([[User talk:Alex2539|t]]{{Md}}[[Special:Contributions/Alex2539|c]])</span> 20:06, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

:::I would say a game has an official crossover if there is actually story involved that we know of and it is more than a cameo. For example, the Space Core in Skyrim is much more of a cameo appearance; as far as I know (haven't gotten Skyrim yet so cannot say) there is no story advancement with him. However in games where there is some sort of story (Freeman and Johnson rivalry) it might merit a mention.

== Minor/mentioned characters ==

In the comic [[Lab Rat]], it mentions a character by the name of Henry. In Portal 2, we see numerous potato-related projects with the names of children, in addition to the names of the other test subjects in Lab Rat that [[Rattman]] moved out of the way to make way for Chell.

== Can my upcoming Portal feature film be ever featured on this Wiki? ==

It goes like this:

''Portal: Imminent Crisis'' is a '''live-action full-length feature film''' starring me (UH! I know.) working around various sections of Aperture Science to defeat a mastermind (I know that sounds lame, but come on!).

Writing for the screenplay has already started and will end November 2013. Vlogs will be made when we hit a certain milestone (Links can be found [[User:DSnWiiRocks|here]].

We already have a production company by our side to help finish this film. It will be released on YouTube for absolutely '''FREE''', with our bowl of ramen being paid with ad revenue.

"So, what do you say? Y̶o̶u̶ ̶c̶a̶r̶r̶y̶ ̶m̶e̶ ̶u̶p̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶h̶i̶m̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶p̶u̶t̶ ̶m̶e̶ ̶b̶a̶c̶k̶ ̶i̶n̶ ̶m̶y̶ ̶b̶o̶d̶y̶,̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶I̶ ̶s̶t̶o̶p̶ ̶u̶s̶ ̶f̶r̶o̶m̶ ̶b̶l̶o̶w̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶u̶p̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶l̶e̶t̶ ̶y̶o̶u̶ ̶g̶o̶.̶" You guys help get this on the Wiki (like write a review or plot summary), and I'll make sure the film is worth you guys' effort. (of course I'll do the most that I can. Tough schedule, man!) If this is official, I won't put this up.

Thanks a lot!

:There's a few Portal fan films out there already (though they're short films, not feature-length) and they're not really featured here because it's community content and it's hazardous to decide what's notable and what's not.

== It's quiet here mate. ==

Portal, and its sequel is my favorite games over the years, and only games I actually completed.

It concerns me however, '''Valve has forgotten about Caroline (I insist), and Chell, and swept it under the rug.'''

The last patch for Portal 2 is '''nine months old, and no further dev will probably be made''' (Chell left, brother.)

So, what will be the future of this? Like how Wheatley puts it at the end of the game while in space:

"The end."

== Adding discussion on little details you might of missed ==
So I was playing Portal 2, when I noticed cool little things-these little details that we normally miss. I want to post these on this discussion, any I don't find, could you guys post them?

The first one I noticed is that one of the turrets, on the redemption line if I remember correctly, said things like "don't make lemonade" and "get mad". The most intriguing of them to me was when the turret said "the answer is below" and "her name is Caroline". I won't say why these are important due to spoilers, but it is kind of impressive as to how the turret learned those things.

Ill try to keep adding the ones I don't have time for now.

: In the future, please sign your posts with <code>~~</code><code>~~</code> . Welcome to the Wiki! Anyway, we have made mention of those exact things already over on the [[Oracle Turret]]'s very own page.

== Turret theory ==

I have a theory about turrets. You know how right after you kill them they say stuff like "I don't blame you" and "I don't hate you"? Well maybe the turrets are actually good but they are being forced to be evil. And maybe the reason they say nice things right before they deactivate is because they are dying and glados can't do anything bad to them while they are dead. This makes me feel bad for the turrets :(

== Using namespaces (rather than subpages) to host other languages. ==

So far, subpages have been used to store other languages. This can clutter things like moving pages and random page. There have been attempts to fix this, but there kind of a hack and don't really work very well. So I am proposing that we add extra namespaces, like this.

<code>
define('NS_SPANISH', 1336);<br/>
define('NS_SPANISH_TALK', 1337);<br/>
$wgExtraNamespaces[NS_SPANISH] = 'Spanish';<br/>
$wgExtraNamespaces[NS_PRIVATE_TALK] = 'Spanish_talk';<br/>
</code>

This way, both problems are solved and it's more organized.

:While a scheme like the one you describe would make total sense if we were starting a wiki from scratch, it doesn't make that much sense when considered in context of this existing wiki. The benefits it provides are negligible compared to the costs of:

* Making this wiki inconsistent with the [http://wiki.tf Team Fortress Wiki] in terms of editing experience.

== Hi all , I'm new here ==

Hi all, I'm very new (like I just made my account a few minutes ago new), and I have no idea how to edit pages and need some help.
first thing I would do is link some of the images I've uploaded (character cards from the Portal: The Uncooperative Cake Acquisition Game) to their respective pages (especially the party escort bot since the art on it is pretty interesting). as well as generally making the board game page way better. some one get back to me please. in the meantime I'll upload the rest of the game cards. -Stickyy

: Hey there. To answer the last question first, not a whole lot. As you can see, there are some people still here, myself included. There's just not a whole lot in the Portal community to write about these days, so people tend not to. Moondust hasn't been touched really (and I can't because I can't do VR on my setup), and [[The Lab]] is unfinished. It's a very casual place now, as far as pacing goes, but we are still in partnership with the TF2 Wiki, are on their server, and have most of their staff on our staff (as inactive as they may be here), so we must maintain a high level of quality despite the slowness and our unofficial status. As far as uploading all of those pictures, good job! I agree that the Associate art is interesting, as well as the Henry card since it's an actual model instead of just a comic picture.

As for the initial question, I'll post it onto your discussion page since ''this'' page is intended for discussion of the Wiki itself. [[User:Sven|Sven Cakemann]] ([[User talk:Sven|talk]]) 23:36, 27 August 2018 (UTC)

Combine Overwiki use BY-SA 4.0, we used CC-BY 3.0, and the Half-life Fandom wiki used Generic CC-BY-SA 2.0

As far as i know:

'''BY-SA 4.0 is Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International''' is the license used by the Overwiki (the license is copied through the text and knowledge base, appropriate credit is required to transfer the knowledge)

'''CC-BY 3.0 is Attribution 3.0 Unported (CC-BY 3.0)''' is just a share-alike attribution, the weakest and most indisputable license (basically the license only carried through the text and knowledge base)

'''Generic CC-BY-SA 2.0'''

== Canon Portal storyline ==
Trying to start off some articles for the characters I realized that the Portal timeline and storyline has been changed by Valve quite a few time. For instance last year they gave gameinformer [http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2010/03/24/aperture-science_3a00_-a-history.aspx this timeline] which states Cave Johnson contracted mercury poisoning, while in-game he states he became ill after grinding up poisonous moon rocks. Also from what I recall his motivations for building GLaDOS were different during the Portal 2 announcement ARG. This is probably a result of Valve constantly changing the Portal 2 storyline as the game developed. In short I'm finding it difficult to build a storyline without it contradicting itself everywhere. I propose we take everything in Portal 2 as hard fact (obviously) and take everything else from reliable sources (the ARG, gameinformer article(?)) as long as it doesn't contradict with statements made in Portal 2.

:There's no official story about the Cave Johnson bit, but there seems to be a consensus around the community that the story in gameinformer was a "cover story" for the public. Of course, that's all speculation. My recommendation is that if something in the game contradicts other information, then the game should take precedence as the official canonical version. I have the feeling that most of what was in the ARG is going to get cut. Even some things as recent as the second ARG, like Cave Johnson's portrait (Google image search Cave Johnson, you'll see what I mean) is different in-game. {{N}}<span style="vertical-align: 2px;margin-left:20px;">[[File:User Moussekateer signature portal.png|13px|link=User:Alex2539]]</span>[[User:Alex2539|<span style="font-style:italic;margin-left:-27px;font-weight:bold;font-variant:small-caps;font-size:75%;">Alex</span>]]  [[File:User Alex2539 signature portal.png|13px|link=User:Alex2539]][[User:Alex2539|<span style="font-style:italic;vertical-align: -3px;margin-left:-1em;font-weight:bold;font-size:75%;">2539</span>]] <span style="font-size:55%">([[User talk:Alex2539|t]]{{Md}}[[Special:Contributions/Alex2539|c]])</span> 21:09, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

== Mod articles? ==
So I stumbled on the page for [[Portal: Project-Beta]] and I think this deserves addressing while the Wiki is still young. What is our policy on mods? Obviously we can't have an article for every mod under the sun, but some, like [[Portal: Prelude]] are obviously deserving. For those that are less obvious, what criteria should be met before an article is considered for them? My first instinct is to prefer those that are notable and available for download. There should also probably be a minimum level of quality. I should mention that I don't mean to say that Project-Beta is undeserving of an article, I don't know the mod well enough to judge. Instead, if it is deserving i would like to know ''why'' and what other mods should be included. {{N}}<span style="vertical-align: 2px;margin-left:20px;">[[File:User Moussekateer signature portal.png|13px|link=User:Alex2539]]</span>[[User:Alex2539|<span style="font-style:italic;margin-left:-27px;font-weight:bold;font-variant:small-caps;font-size:75%;">Alex</span>]]  [[File:User Alex2539 signature portal.png|13px|link=User:Alex2539]][[User:Alex2539|<span style="font-style:italic;vertical-align: -3px;margin-left:-1em;font-weight:bold;font-size:75%;">2539</span>]] <span style="font-size:55%">([[User talk:Alex2539|t]]{{Md}}[[Special:Contributions/Alex2539|c]])</span> 20:06, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

:::I would say a game has an official crossover if there is actually story involved that we know of and it is more than a cameo.

However in games where there is some sort of story (Freeman and Johnson rivalry) it might merit a mention.

It goes like this:

Writing for the screenplay has already started and will end November 2013. Vlogs will be made when we hit a certain milestone (Links can be found [[User:DSnWiiRocks|here]].

We already have a production company by our side to help finish this film. It will be released on YouTube for absolutely '''FREE''', with our bowl of ramen being paid with ad revenue.

"So, what do you say?

== It's quiet here mate. ==

Portal, and its sequel is my favorite games over the years, and only games I actually completed.

It concerns me however, '''Valve has forgotten about Caroline (I insist), and Chell, and swept it under the rug.'''

The last patch for Portal 2 is '''nine months old, and no further dev will probably be made''' (Chell left, brother.)

So, what will be the future of this? Like how Wheatley puts it at the end of the game while in space:

"The end."

== Adding discussion on little details you might of missed ==
So I was playing Portal 2, when I noticed cool little things-these little details that we normally miss. I want to post these on this discussion, any I don't find, could you guys post them?

The first one I noticed is that one of the turrets, on the redemption line if I remember correctly, said things like "don't make lemonade" and "get mad". The most intriguing of them to me was when the turret said "the answer is below" and "her name is Caroline". I won't say why these are important due to spoilers, but it is kind of impressive as to how the turret learned those things.

Ill try to keep adding the ones I don't have time for now.

I have a theory about turrets. You know how right after you kill them they say stuff like "I don't blame you" and "I don't hate you"? Well maybe the turrets are actually good but they are being forced to be evil. And maybe the reason they say nice things right before they deactivate is because they are dying and glados can't do anything bad to them while they are dead.

== Using namespaces (rather than subpages) to host other languages. ==

So far, subpages have been used to store other languages. This can clutter things like moving pages and random page. There have been attempts to fix this, but there kind of a hack and don't really work very well. So I am proposing that we add extra namespaces, like this.

<code>
define('NS_SPANISH', 1336);<br/>
define('NS_SPANISH_TALK', 1337);<br/>
$wgExtraNamespaces[NS_SPANISH] = 'Spanish';<br/>
$wgExtraNamespaces[NS_PRIVATE_TALK] = 'Spanish_talk';<br/>
</code>

This way, both problems are solved and it's more organized.

:There aren't any benefits to doing so, but there are a heap of downsides. The Wiki runs fine as an independent entity. [[User:I-ghost|i-ghost]] 17:44, 27 December 2017 (UTC)

== How do you shut off a bot? ==

I was just wondering how to shut off a bot on the wiki. [[User:Sausagea1000|Sausagea1000]] ([[User talk:Sausagea1000|talk]]) 13:49, 18 February 2018 (UTC) (time edited)
:You can't. I'm not a bot by the way. [[User:I-ghost|i-ghost]] 17:44, 27 December 2017 (UTC)

== Hi all , I'm new here ==

Hi all, I'm very new (like I just made my account a few minutes ago new), and I have no idea how to edit pages and need some help.
first thing I would do is link some of the images I've uploaded (character cards from the Portal: The Uncooperative Cake Acquisition Game) to their respective pages (especially the party escort bot since the art on it is pretty interesting). as well as generally making the board game page way better. some one get back to me please. in the meantime I'll upload the rest of the game cards. -Stickyy

EDIT: is this wiki even active?

: Hey there. To answer the last question first, not a whole lot. As you can see, there are some people still here, myself included. There's just not a whole lot in the Portal community to write about these days, so people tend not to. Moondust hasn't been touched really (and I can't because I can't do VR on my setup), and [[The Lab]] is unfinished. It's a very casual place now, as far as pacing goes, but we are still in partnership with the TF2 Wiki, are on their server, and have most of their staff on our staff (as inactive as they may be here), so we must maintain a high level of quality despite the slowness and our unofficial status. As far as uploading all of those pictures, good job! I agree that the Associate art is interesting, as well as the Henry card since it's an actual model instead of just a comic picture.

As for the initial question, I'll post it onto your discussion page since ''this'' page is intended for discussion of the Wiki itself. [[User:Sven|Sven Cakemann]] ([[User talk:Sven|talk]]) 23:36, 27 August 2018 (UTC)

== Add more articles ==
I have noticed the Combine OverWiki has substantially more articles than us, and the [https://half-life.fandom.com Half Life Fandom] Wiki has more articles too, and the [[User:Sven/The Bird| Bird]] {{Tooltip|should be|ask User:Sven first!}} in the main article line.

== It's silent here... ==

Even with the pandemic, the wiki is still very dull. Active contributors are just [[User:Headquarter8302|me]], [[User:Thedoczek]], [[User:Sven]] and some image uploaders. [[User:Headquarter8302|Headquarter8302]] ([[User talk:Headquarter8302|talk]]) 00:06, 10 August 2020 (UTC)

:Aside from the few updates that happen with Portal 2, there's not really a lot going on in the community. There's no shortage of stuff to 'do', but there's just a lack of enthusiasm due to the lack of new official content. It'll pick back up at some point.

== Licensing Guide ==

Combine Overwiki use BY-SA 4.0, we used CC-BY 3.0, and the Half-life Fandom wiki used Generic CC-BY-SA 2.0

As far as i know:

'''BY-SA 4.0 is Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International''' is the license used by the Overwiki (the license is copied through the text and knowledge base, appropriate credit is required to transfer the knowledge)

'''CC-BY 3.0 is Attribution 3.0 Unported (CC-BY 3.0)''' is just a share-alike attribution, the weakest and most indisputable license (basically the license only carried through the text and knowledge base)

'''Generic CC-BY-SA 2.0'''
{{Quotation|'''Fandom'''|To grow the commons of free knowledge and free culture, all users editing or otherwise contributing to wikis that use the <u>CC BY-SA license agree to grant broad permissions to the general public to re-distribute and re-use their contributions freely for any purpose, including commercial use</u>, '''in accordance with the CC BY-SA license.''' Such use is allowed where attribution is given and the same freedom to re-use and re-distribute applies to any derivative works of the contributions.}}
Fandom used this license, the most basic license you'll ever get.

'''<u>IMPORTANT!</u>'''
We cannot copy from Overwiki, but they can copy from us. We ''CAN'' copy from the Fandom base wikis but uses the Generic license which is kinda frustrating to comprehence.

Sooo.... People, you now understand the basic licenses? - [[User:Headquarter8302|Headquarter8302]] ([[User talk:Headquarter8302|talk]]) 05:04, 19 August 2020 (UTC)

:I added a note about this [[Portal Wiki:About#Licensing|here]]. I don't think content can be copied from Fandom wikis, as they have the same ShareAlike clause as the Combine Overwiki does... — [[User:WindPower|Wind]] 04:08, 25 August 2020 (UTC)

== An extension is deprecated, should we change it? ==

Since I'm not handling with articles anymore, I will take care of maintenance. And just like charm, when I'm sneaking through the [[Special:Version]] article, I've noticed that GeeQuBox extension (image preview thingy) is deprecated (as evidenced by the [[MW:Extension:GeeQuBox|archival page on MediaWiki]]). Should we change it to the more later version? It has fixes from the original GeeQu.

== OPP2? What's that? ==

Why's there that sketchy link in the Portal 2 section of the side bar? Just seems to send you to illegal movie streaming sites. - '''[[User:EktoHunter|EktoHunter]]'''

== Youtube channel ==

Does anyone know who managed the YouTube channel of our Wiki? Has the person in question lost access to the account? [[User:Quantum|Quantum]] ([[User talk:Quantum|talk]]) 13:54, 1 June 2021 (UTC)

:Yes, they're spam accounts.

== Notability policy on mods and fan content ==

We have a guideline on Community Content [[Help:Style guide/Community content|here]], but we don't state how much popular or downloaded the content should be, until we could legitimately document it.

: It is safe to assume that mods released on Steam, as standalone apps, are supposed to be covered.
: As for non-Steam mods, anything that introduces a great gimmick-something that hasn't been done before in a base Portal game, is generally discussed among the community and has people showcasing it (let's play, forum threads, etc) reinforces its notability. — [[User:Tark|<span style="font-weight:bold;color: #5BC236">Tark</span>]] 14:47, 30 August 2021 (UTC)

== Aperture Tag pages ==

So I found out ''[[Aperture Tag: The Paint Gun Testing Initiative]]'' and the related [[Aperture Tag: The Paint Gun Testing Initiative Chapter 1 Intro|test chamber]] pages exist. '''A)''' Why ''(may be self-explanatory)'', and '''B)''' Why not continue the pages? I recently expanded on the Intro chamber page ''(linked above)'', so I want to know if I'm allowed to continue on this series of threads. Your opinion?
