Tark: /* Fact rotation */ re

== Single handedly ruins wiki ==

They also insert trash at the top of pages.

Recent example: [https://theportalwiki.com/w/index.php?title=Portal_2&diff=187489&oldid=187480 1]
[[User:Kry93871|Kry93871]] ([[User talk:Kry93871|talk]]) 02:49, 27 April 2024 (UTC)

: Rude behavior towards other users will only get you blocked.
: We are extremely thankful for your contributions, but please follow the advice of experienced editors and our own guidelines if you want to contribute. — [[User:Tark|Tark]] 15:05, 27 April 2024 (UTC)

== Fat troll, don't feed ==

Examples: [https://theportalwiki.com/w/index.php?title=Portal_with_RTX&action=history 1].

I quit the wiki forever. [[User:Kry93871|Kry93871]] ([[User talk:Kry93871|talk]]) 00:30, 28 April 2024 (UTC)

== Thank you for your service ==

Just dropping by here to say that I admire your eternal vigilance and diligence. 🫡 — [[User:WindPower|Wind]] 06:36, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

: Drop into the IRC every once in a while, yeah? We miss ya! — [[User:Tark|Tark]] 11:10, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

== (Recent) Changes to the wiki ==

Hey Tark. As a starter, a belated congratulations on your adminship of the wiki! It seems that you're pretty much the only active staff member now.

Anyways, I have a question. I've seen the RC is notifying me of a lot of edits made to the help and project pages. Are there some changes regarding the wiki that I am not aware of? In fact, a more appropriate question is, what have I missed?

Regards ~ [[User:Headquarter8302|Headquarter]][[User talk:Headquarter8302|8302]] 06:57, 25 June 2024 (UTC)

: Hellos! As for the recent changes, I'm just trying to tidy up the help pages a little and update some of the wording to match the TF2 wiki version.
: For now, I'm just trying to figure out how to untangle everything. Content-wise, there's a lot to do still, especially reviewing some questionable edits that have been around for a few years:
:: [[Portal Test Chamber 00]] - page title was changed from "Chapter 1 - Part 1: Test Chamber 00" to "Portal Test Chamber 00", includes a section named "Gallery example" which is empty, and a "Script" section, which is very badly formatted and probably not really relevant.
:: [[Portal]] has been moved and is now a disambiguation page.
:: [teu many other examples...]
: I've been on and off for the last few years, which has led to a noticeable drop in article quality. It's going to take a while, but I'm getting there~ — [[User:Tark|Tark]] 14:26, 25 June 2024 (UTC)

::Huge props to you. The last time I did any meaningful contribution to the wiki was at the last vandal attack, it's wonderful to see someone who still has the time to manage this place. ~ [[User:Headquarter8302|Headquarter]][[User talk:Headquarter8302|8302]] 00:57, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

== Edit ==

Hey Tarko,

just wanted to say that I like both you and the job you do here. Bye!~ [[User:Nikno|Nikno]] ([[User talk:Nikno|talk]]) 16:46, 29 October 2025 (UTC)

== Fact suggestions ==

Hello, I have a question. If you know when featured facts will be updated, when it will be? Do you know at least the approximate date? [[User:MrWheatleyCore|MrWheatleyCore]] ([[User talk:MrWheatleyCore|talk]]) 19:11, 1 April 2026 (UTC)

: Hallo. We don't really have a set timing (mostly because we don't have that many facts to feature), but I can look into setting up a proper rotation and updating the current ones. — [[User:Tark|Tark]] 20:07, 1 April 2026 (UTC)

:: Ok - [[User:MrWheatleyCore|MrWheatleyCore]] ([[User talk:MrWheatleyCore|talk]]) 05:35, 2 April 2026 (UTC)

== Note ==

I recently changed the Coop Course 1 Chamber 4 page. Is it okay to add a YouTube link as a placeholder? - [[User:MrWheatleyCore|MrWheatleyCore]] ([[User talk:MrWheatleyCore|talk]]) 06:52, 2 April 2026 (UTC)

: You can use {{tl|YouTube}}. — [[User:Tark|Tark]] 17:30, 2 April 2026 (UTC)

== Fact rotation ==

Can you look into making a proper rotation of facts? Sorry if i have bad english
— ''The preceding unsigned comment was added by'' '''[[User:MrWheatleyCore|MrWheatleyCore]]''' ([[User talk:MrWheatleyCore|talk]]) • ([[Special:Contributions/MrWheatleyCore|contribs]]) 

: {{c|Done}}. Facts should now rotate on the first day of each month. — [[User:Tark|Tark]] 23:15, 6 April 2026 (UTC)

== Cut content ==

Hai MrWheatleyCore, thank you for your recent edits!

Just one thing to note: we usually cover cut content on this [[Unused content|general page]] instead of making individual pages for each. The reason is that there's very little to write about them (so the articles end up quite short) and it's easier for users to find everything in one place/table. Would you mind moving your recent pages to this general page and turning the old ones into redirects? — [[User:Tark|Tark]] 18:18, 1 April 2026 (UTC)

Tark: re

== Legitimacy ==
Not sure how legit this content actually is, I created a Chapter12.cfg in my game and this did not pop up. [[Portal: Prelude]] has something called Testing complete, so it may be part of that mod which gets put into regular Portal if you create the config file.[[User:GrampaSwood|GrampaSwood]] ([[User talk:GrampaSwood|talk]]) 17:44, 22 December 2025 (UTC)

:I don't actually have Prelude on my computer, are you sure that you're on the Steam version of Portal? I also checked CWTH, which I did have, and there is no such chapter in the game. I even typed sv_unlockedchapters 100, and nothing showed up. I also tried typing sv_unlockedchapters_ep2 0, sv_unlockedchapters_episodic 0, and sv_unlockedchapters_hl2 0, but they still persisted. I also found 2 more chapters that were of 2 Overwatch Elites standing behind a forcefield, and the other one is just the HL2 logo. — ''The preceding unsigned comment was added by'' '''[[User:PSF 22:33, 22 December 2025|PSF 22:33, 22 December 2025]]''' ([[User talk:PSF 22:33, 22 December 2025|talk]]) • ([[Special:Contributions/PSF 22:33, 22 December 2025|contribs]]) 

:I also did a full clean install and I can confirm that it's still there. And also, the "Testing complete" reference was in the game's language file. Can you try clean-installing yours and checking that the reference is in the language file? You can find it at Portal\portal\resource. — ''The preceding unsigned comment was added by'' '''[[User:PSF 22:52, 22 December 2025|PSF 22:52, 22 December 2025]]''' ([[User talk:PSF 22:52, 22 December 2025|talk]]) • ([[Special:Contributions/PSF 22:52, 22 December 2025|contribs]]) 

:: Remember to sign your talk page comments using <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>.
:: Yes, I'm using the Steam version and a clean install. Prelude didn't have anything to my findings either, but neither does just adding chapter12.cfg. What file name did you find this image under, does the .cfg contain anything? 'Testing Complete' feels weird to have as a cut chapter name when all other chapters are just named 'Chapter [number]'.[[User:GrampaSwood|GrampaSwood]] ([[User talk:GrampaSwood|talk]]) 22:10, 22 December 2025 (UTC)

:: Deleting Portal via Steam won't delete your cfg folder. Please try to delete it and make sure that the game folder is completely gone, then test again. I also followed the page's instructions and I can confirm there's nothing there.
:: The string "Testing complete" does exist, but seeing how it was translated into other languages, it may just be a message that's meant to be visible when you finish all chapters? Its token being named just like a regular chapter name ''is'' odd (<code>Portal_Chapter12_Title</code>), but token names don't necessarily have hard rules. — [[User:Tark|Tark]] 22:19, 22 December 2025 (UTC)

::: Oh, I just realized it's a left-over chapter from Half Life 2, so it is sadly not an unused chapter. Sorry, should have looked into this more, I got a little too excited I guess. :\ When one of the mods doesn't have the assets, it looks into other mods, and that's why that happened. [[User:PSF|PSF]] ([[User talk:PSF|talk]]) 22:50, 22 December 2025 (UTC)

:::: haha that's completely fine. Being excited about something you like is normal, and it's also a bit confusing that deleting a game doesn't remove the entire game folder, so that's not 100% on you either.
:::: Thanks for replying so quickly. — [[User:Tark|Tark]] 00:19, 23 December 2025 (UTC)

Tark: /* Common misspellings */ fix SyntaxError

{{User:WindBOT/Header}}

== How to disable a filter ==
If the bot is malfunctioning, chances are that the problem lies in one of these blocks of code. Thus, instead of shutting down the whole bot, it would be wiser to disable only the chunk of code that is misbehaving.
To make the bot ignore a certain line, add a "#" in front of it:
# This line will be ignored
If there are multiple lines, wrap them inside triple-quotes ('''you still need to put the two spaces at the beginning of the line'''):
"""This line will be ignored
and this one as well
and this one is cake
and the previous one was a lie but it was still ignored"""
If all else fails, you can simply delete the block from the page. The bot can't come up with code by itself yet, so it won't run anything.
Or, if the problem really is elsewhere, [{{fullurl:Special:Block|wpBlockAddress={{BASEPAGENAMEE}}&wpBlockExpiry=infinite&wpAnonOnly=0&wpEnableAutoblock=0&wpCreateAccount=0&wpBlockReason=Bot%20gone%20crazy:%20}} block the bot].

== 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. '''—[[User:Moussekateer|M]][[File:User Moussekateer signature portal.png|19px|link=User:Moussekateer]][[User:Moussekateer|ussekateer]]·[[User talk:Moussekateer|talk]]''' 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}}[[File:User Moussekateer signature portal.png|13px|link=User:Alex2539]][[User:Alex2539|Alex]]  [[File:User Alex2539 signature portal.png|13px|link=User:Alex2539]][[User:Alex2539|2539]] ([[User talk:Alex2539|t]]{{Md}}[[Special:Contributions/Alex2539|c]]) 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}}[[File:User Moussekateer signature portal.png|13px|link=User:Alex2539]][[User:Alex2539|Alex]]  [[File:User Alex2539 signature portal.png|13px|link=User:Alex2539]][[User:Alex2539|2539]] ([[User talk:Alex2539|t]]{{Md}}[[Special:Contributions/Alex2539|c]]) 01:07, 24 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}}[[File:User Moussekateer signature portal.png|13px|link=User:Alex2539]][[User:Alex2539|Alex]]  [[File:User Alex2539 signature portal.png|13px|link=User:Alex2539]][[User:Alex2539|2539]] ([[User talk:Alex2539|t]]{{Md}}[[Special:Contributions/Alex2539|c]]) 20:06, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

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.

== 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); 
define('NS_SPANISH_TALK', 1337); 
$wgExtraNamespaces[NS_SPANISH] = 'Spanish'; 
$wgExtraNamespaces[NS_PRIVATE_TALK] = 'Spanish_talk'; 
</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.

== 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.

== The Wiki has been Hacked ==

I have recently went on to this wiki to look at Wheatley's character page. It turns out that that page and several others had been changed by someone who doesn't seem to have an account anymore, and they took out '''ALL''' information on these pages and replaced them with random messages. To anyone in charge: Please fix this. I just wanted to find some knowledge and I was met with nonsensical messages, and as someone who looks at this wiki a LOT, it would be appreciated if the original pages could be restored if possible. Thank you if anyone indeed listens to this. - Sincerely, AJSloth707 (April 15th, 2023)

== Potential renaming of test chamber pages ==

Currently, all of the test chamber pages are simply named based on the game title, chapter, and chamber number, for example [[Portal 2 Chapter 4 Test Chamber 18]]. While this is technically sufficient to differentiate chambers, in practice it makes trying to find pages for specific test chambers nearly impossible. Nobody remembers chamber numbers, and many players don't even look at the signs to begin with, so trying to find the page for a specific chamber usually boils down to just clicking through randomly until you find the one you're looking for (on a wiki which already seems to struggle with server issues and is often slow or unresponsive).

However, all of the Portal 2 chambers and many chambers in mods actually have descriptive names, originating from the Challenge Mode UI and map filenames. In fact, many of the test chamber pages on this wiki already list these names as part of the infobox! (e.g. see the page I linked above) With that in mind, it seems logical to rename the pages to use these names when available. The challenge mode names could be used directly, while map filenames in mods would need to be "prettified" (replacing underscores with spaces, removing prefixes, and changing to title case). These names are far easier to remember than numbers are, and also usually give a basic description of the map, so even if you didn't have them memorized you could still look at "chapter 8 - funnel polarity" and determine that that's probably the map where reversed funnels are introduced. This would help to make finding test chamber pages easier, and potentially reduce server strain as a result of users not having to click through as many different pages.

Not all maps have these names available (particularly in Portal 1 and mods for it), so those maps would just continue to use the current page naming scheme, perhaps with slight changes. Portal 1's maps are fairly easier to remember by number anyway (since the whole game is on a single continuous testing track), so this should be fine. I also personally think it would look nicer to remove the chapter number from the page titles and purely use the game title and map name separated by a dash (e.g. "Portal 2 - Funnel Polarity", "Portal - Test Chamber 13", etc). This could potentially cause problems though if a mod had two maps with the same internal name in different chapters, so it would need further evaluation.

All the existing pages would be kept as redirects, so old links would still work. I'd like to hear people's feedback on this and if there's any reason it shouldn't be done or things that should be done differently than suggested. - [[User:VRadExe|VRadExe]] ([[User talk:VRadExe|talk]]) 00:24, 16 August 2025 (UTC)
: Sounds neat. I propose just using a redirect for these new titles, or moving the old pages to these new titles and leaving a redirect for them (if such changes are not feasible or wanted by the site staff). ~ ''Markus,'' [[User:Headquarter8302|Headquarter]][[User talk:Headquarter8302|8302]] 00:38, 16 August 2025 (UTC)

:: I'm personally fine with the way things are currently (naming convention is defined [[Help:Style_guide/Test_chambers|here]]), and since there are hundreds of chamber pages, I don't think moving all of them to new locations is worth the effort just for aesthetics.
:: If the names are easy to remember, we can always use redirects to guide people to the right locations. — [[User:Tark|Tark]] 19:55, 17 August 2025 (UTC)
