Time Attaxi Trivia Question-Answer
Hello/bonjour, In reponse to your questions, there are no Yellow or Orange Taxis in Hong Kong to my knowledge, only Green, Red and blue and colour is to indicate are of service. The casting was reissued in different colours, as any casting can be. --JDM My Ride (talk) 00:26, October 17, 2017 (UTC)二千十七年十月十六日星期一

Adding Image
Hi, I am trying to upload an image to the Subaru BRAT gallery, but it's not working, and I have successfully added other images to galleries. Do you know what the problem is?-Rws0704


 * It looks like you added the gallery coding in a few times and somehow it got mixed in with the categories - I couldn't get to the code so I reverted the page back to before you started and fixed it. Mach 5 (talk) 21:18, February 19, 2018 (UTC)


 * Thanks for helping me out. I really appreciate it-Rws0704

Hi Mach 5. I'm awfully sorry for those errors when uploading and adding images. Now I really read that and hope not to make those mistakes again. Thanks for your patience. Claudio

Ok. David Marconi 00:10, February 26, 2018 (UTC)


 * Awesome!Mach 5 (talk) 00:46, February 26, 2018 (UTC)

Good night Mach5. I have tried to be as careful as possible without committing these things. If I did something I should not do, let me know. Contrary to some discourses I could follow in 2017 (fights by editing modes). I am here to learn and contribute in an online community, and I will always have the civility to meet and follow the guidelines of the oldest ones.

Mattel Photos
Do you know if we're allowed to use mattel photos? I've seen them used on other pages so I guess it's ok? I was thinking about using the pictures from hotwheelscollectors.com for the Volkswagen T1 Rockster page. --Reeceracing (talk) 03:32, April 11, 2018 (UTC)
 * Not sure, but I thought I remember reading about someone who did have permission. Mach 5 (talk) 04:20, April 11, 2018 (UTC)

RE: Bio pages in design category
Hello Mach5. Thanks for your comment on my talk page. I appreciate the feedback.

I think it would be useful if you could include your "rule" within the talk page for the designer pages (perhaps as a template?), so that others who might think the same as I do, don't do the same as I did.

'55 Chevy Nomad
Hey Mach 5. I hear you! Thanks for the correction to my "correction" to Classic Nomad. Lesson I learned: click on the link just to make sure, and don't assume anything!. And thanks for your patience! 1steditionman (talk) 19:24, May 2, 2018. Also, the Nomad is one of my favorite all-time models, so I visit this page a lot. I was trying to figure out how to address the several casting retools/base changes through the years but naah...I'll leave it alone for the time being.19:30, May 2, 2018 (UTC)1steditionman (talk)

Mach 5,

I need help with the Star & Stripes Page. I added a whole new table with the 2018 Series but am having trouble conforming to the formats and messed up the original format somewhat. I am still working on it (and learning).1steditionman (talk) 19:30, May 13, 2018 (UTC)


 * looks like you have an extra column of information that the 2016 series excluded. Keep up the good work. Mach 5 (talk) 19:38, May 13, 2018 (UTC)

Thanks a lot. Looks normal now. I'll be adding links shortly.1steditionman (talk) 19:56, May 13, 2018 (UTC)


 * No, problem - anytime. I look forward to seein the page more polished. Mach 5 (talk) 19:58, May 13, 2018 (UTC)

Your the Rank #1
Hey Mach 5, Great Job making corrected edits. I’ll make sure to earn more instead if I could rank higher points if I could make more edits. But Your the 1! Thanks. Tin - my talk page (Talk) 22:54, May 25, 2018


 * Thanks - There are plenty of things to do, it would be very easy to pass me up there are so many things still needing to be done. Mach 5 (talk) 13:30, May 25, 2018 (UTC)

Hot Wheels Classics
Hello my friend!

Again I'll ask you to revert the wrong changes this made by me, trying to use a different table format on this series. This is the last time I try something like that. By the way, at 2016 Hot wheels list, Muscle Mania & Hot Trucks are the same format as Hot Wheels Classics. If it's possible I'd like to ask to them to the same format the other sections use, I tried and could not do it. Thank you. Tonny6660 (talk) 23:13, May 27, 2018 (UTC)


 * No worries. I see nothing amiss with Muscle Mania or Hot Trucks. Mach 5 (talk) 14:01, May 28, 2018 (UTC)

2007, 2008, 2013 New Model Pages
Greetings. I added a Gallery of photos to the 2007, 2008 and 2013 New Model Pages. They were simple Image galleries I added using the classic editor. I did not mess with the Source Editing. I did not change or modified the tables in any way. But I notice now that all 3 original tables are jacked up. What happened?1steditionman (talk) 02:53, May 29, 2018 (UTC)


 * I'll take a look today. Mach 5 (talk) 14:05, May 29, 2018 (UTC)

'12 Ford Fiesta
I tried to remove a link from the last image in the Gallery but could not remove the image and empty frame afterwards entirely. Clicking it links to external site. When I did, and indid it, I got a "fake" new badge.1steditionman (talk) 12:48, June 28, 2018 (UTC)


 * got it. I saw some other stuff too that I hope to get to today... Mach 5 (talk) 16:13, June 28, 2018 (UTC)

X-Steam
Because when I first saw the name of this category, I thought that it is for all vehicles that are track compatible. Some Hot Wheels cards says "Track Stars" on it, so that why I added them. You can remove it if you want. Combatbot2015 (talk) 21:01, June 30, 2018 (UTC)


 * Don't want to remove. Just don't want to hunt for them all. Mach 5 (talk) 21:18, June 30, 2018 (UTC)

Okay then. Combatbot2015 (talk) 21:44, June 30, 2018 (UTC)

Why you not become admin?
i'm always watching this wikia and you are the most active member and why you not becoming admin in this wikia? i would love to hear that??? because i'm admin too at other Hot Wheels wikia or Alternative Hot wheels wikia, and not Acceledrome V5 wikia i mean, the other one. Budwill97 (talk) 9:01AM, June 8, 2018 (UTC)


 * Don't know to become admin - but would not turn down if offered. Mach 5 (talk) 15:08, July 8, 2018 (UTC)

okay but please make sure you always active okay. and watchover this wikia to prevent vandalism Budwill97 (talk) 15:27, June 8, 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for your help with my contribution to the '57 T-Bird page. As someone who is new to all of this it means a lot that somone was willing to help.The Codiak (talk) 20:43, July 26, 2018 (UTC)


 * No trouble, we were all new once. I'm happy to help. Don't hesitate to ask. And dig out that playset! Playset cars can be the hardest to find and playsets are the most underrepresented category here. Mach 5 (talk) 23:23, July 26, 2018 (UTC)

Hi again Mach, I recently found and old playset from '06 that came with quite the unique version of Torque Screw. I was wondering how did you make the new coloum in the '57 T-Bird page so I can add this new playset exclusive Torque Screw to the wiki.The Codiak (talk) 05:08, July 31, 2018 (UTC)


 * I use the source editor, and it's simply 1 line and dash, then 1 line for each column.

2018 X-Raycers 5-Pack
Thank you for your help with my contribution to the 2018 X-Raycers 5-Pack. Sorry about inserting thumbnail images into the tables. Now that I see what you to did to change them from thumbnails, I'll make sure to do that on anymore images that I may post in tables. Thehwfanatic12 (talk) 21:00, August 2, 2018 (UTC)


 * Happy to help and see more people contributing. Next step is to get each of those cars on their respective casting pages, and then all on the X-Raycers Series page. Mach 5 (talk) 22:04, August 2, 2018 (UTC)

Actually, Phil Rhiehlman designed the non-modified (realistic) casting. Amauri Diaz designed the real 1:1 car.


 * Awesome!

Links to followed pages

Links to followed pages
Hello!!!

It's been quit some time I'm receiving emails telling pages I follow without working links. I don't know if it'd happening to everybody but it's a bit annoying. The image below illustrates what i'm saying. Hope you can solve this issue.




 * Sorry, I don't get any emails for pages I watch, not even sure if I'm watching any pages. This sounds more like an administrator situation. Mach 5 (talk) 23:51, August 20, 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for helping me with the internal vs external links on the Wiki. Appreciate the guidance, still learning how to contribute without messing things up! Skingld (talk) 22:07, August 21, 2018 (UTC)

Hi!, viewnig the comparision i see what is the problem with the thumbnail of the DEMON. I do it with the Visual Editor. I'll be attentive to next edits ;)

May Bad
Hi Mach,  That was my bad on the catagory, I knew it as soon as I did it that I was not on the right page for that. Thank you for correcting the item.

I finally have my interenet back so will be more active on the pages, just thought I would give you a heads up I'm back LOL.

Category questions
Hi Mach5! I noticed that some of the category pages have categories attached to them. Not sure if it makes sense. What do you think? Here is an example: [//hotwheels.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Mini_Cars https://hotwheels.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Mini_Cars] User:Muscle-gta.com


 * I saw that, wasn't sure what to make of it. I've been trying to get back on series pages and make fixes where I can catch them.

Mach 5 (talk) 22:30, September 10, 2018 (UTC)
 * When you add a message to user pages, you should put a note in the edit summary block, which will also create the new section and make it easier to find. Also, the key to the left of the one in caps is the ~, 4 in a row signs your comment.
 * Understood, thank you so much! I was wondering how to do it. As for the category pages, I will be fixing them as I go. I found that the Cop Rods series were not reflected on many casting pages. Working on it. Muscle-gta.com (talk) 05:52, September 11, 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for the Photo Assist
Hey thanks for the photo assist tonite....you make me look good! I did visit the Image Help page before I tried to add my photo - just couldn't seem to figure it out. I am certainly glad we have you for the assist! Cheers -

Pictures from play.hotwheels.com
HI! I have noticed many pictures from the Hotwheels.com website. Here is an example:

https://hotwheels.wikia.com/wiki/File:BMW_M4_DVB57.png. Do we have an agreement with them regarding using their content? Thank you!

Muscle-gta.com (talk) 19:13, October 19, 2018 (UTC)
 * I didn't notice and I have no idea if we do or don't. But if the pictures are in an ad, I would think fair use might be in effect. Mach 5 (talk) 20:34, October 19, 2018 (UTC)
