Hello, Hayzze!

Welcome to the Team Fortress 2 Official Wiki!

Here are a few links to get you started:

  • If you're not too familiar with editing wikis, you might like to start with Help:Editing.
  • If you already are familiar with wikiediting, you might want to try Help:Style guide.
  • Recent Changes will let you see others' contributions as they happen.
    • To make Recent Changes more useful for all users, remember to provide an edit summary in the "Summary" field before you save your changes.
    • You can set the wiki to prompt you for a summary in your preferences.
  • When posting on an article's Talk page you should add four tilde symbols or ~~~~ onto the end.
    • This will add a signature and timestamp to your comment so others can easily tell who posted it.
    • Any new sections on an article's Talk page should be added to the bottom of the page and not to the top.
    • When editing normal article pages, don't sign your contributions.
    • You can use the Signature Icon.png button in the editing toolbar to quickly add a signature.
  • If you have any questions or need any help, please feel free to leave a message for a staff member.
  • If you have trouble with anything on the wiki or you're not sure about a specific topic, feel free to join the IRC.
  • You can also customize your user page if you like.
    • When uploading images for use on your user page, please add the prefix User Hayzze to the file's name.
    • Additionally, if you would like to add any self-made content to the wiki, please do so by adding the prefix User:Hayzze/ to the page title when you create the page.

Once again, welcome to the Team Fortress 2 Wiki!

Gate Way Error

I am getting errors all the time when trying to load pages, someone please help. Hayzze (talk) 19:41, 15 January 2016 (PST)

That can't be helped. The recent wiki update really messed up the servers. All you can do is keep spamming refresh until they fix it, but it won't be fixed for a while. --User Dr. Scaphandre Golden Ghastly Gibus.png Dr. Scaphandre 19:44, 15 January 2016 (PST)

Removing talk page discussions

Please do not remove discussions from your talk page. Other users may wish to comment on the subjects at hand, and editing them out doesn't necessarily solve the issues that are being discussed.

With regards to the discussions that are being removed, I'd like to ask that you pay heed to the recommendations, particularly those pertaining to show preview and showing respect to other editors. A Wiki works best when users discuss issues together rather than fighting each other over how a page should look, so edit wars have a very detrimental effect on work. As well, using the show preview button allows you to make edits without accidental formatting mistakes (particularly with template work) and leaves less clutter in the change log.

Since you're new to editing the Wiki, you may be well served to come by our IRC channel to ask for help on things you may be having trouble with.

There were too many new discussions. If they want to further comment they can comment in a previous discussion. Also I have looked at the help, and I do use preview now. The problem I have is that a lot of my edits are being changed and the grammar becomes worse. The preceding unsigned comment was added by Hayzze (talk) • (contribs)

There are too many new discussions because you're doing a lot of radical changes that a lot of users may not agree on. Part of a wiki is how you collaborate with the other editors to make changes and additions. Also, compared to my talk page, you hardly had any discussions.
Look, I know you're new and itching to get started, I was the same way when I first joined since I really want a Wiki Cap. You can't just drive a car without learning how to drive it first. Just slow down, learn the ropes of the wiki, talk with the other users to get some lessons from them, and look for a job that requires your attention.
For a shameless plugin, if you're looking for something to do, you could help with the Community Strategy Project as we need a lot strategy pages updated and added onto. --User Dr. Scaphandre Golden Ghastly Gibus.png Dr. Scaphandre 20:17, 15 January 2016 (PST)

I didn't even want a cap. I first started editing the Frenchman's Formals because the description was incorrect, and also because I noticed bugs in the Nostromo and Rainblower.Hayzze (talk) 21:04, 15 January 2016 (PST)

You're still not using show preview correctly. Those six or so changes you made to the Ubersaw page could have all been done in a single edit, instead of one edit at a time adding in linking or a few extra words. When editing a page, please take the time to use show preview to get in all the changes that you want in a single edit.
Sorry I am not changing grammatical errors etc., I am adding new content unrelated to old content.
And please, read the style guide before you commit further edits. A lot of your last edits have been reverted since they don't follow the style or trivia guides, to avoid this in the future it helps to know what is acceptable and what is not. Again, if you're not sure if something should be added or not, please consult other users first. We have an IRC channel that has users who can help you to get started on the Wiki properly.
I don't want to sound discouraging, but your contributions so far have not been very beneficial to the Wiki so far (we do want to help you improve, which is why we've been posting on your talk page). If you are serious about helping to improve the Wiki, then please take the time to learn how to best do so. --User LordKelvin Signature.png LordKelvin 23:44, 15 January 2016 (PST)
