who put that information about the cheaters lament being distributed via a glitch during Halloween back there when it was removed for a good reason, i didn't put it back there yet it's still there why is that?

Sniper Strategy

I am messaging both of you about this. For some information, please do not just remove information that may be prevalent blindly. It is much, much more productive to go the discussion section to see what the community thinks rather then undoing and redoing each others edits. Thank you! K-MacTfccivilian thumb.png (Talk | Contrib) 03:03, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

ok will do sorry this may sound stupid but can you give me a link to the discussion page to i may discuss my strategy? Lexicon249 03:05, 6 December 2010 (UTC)
Talk:Community_Sniper_strategy i should have put that in there to begin with, by the way, regarding discussion sections. when creating a new topic be sure to create a heading by using two equals signs and then your title then two more equals signs, as follows: == Sniper Strategy == also if you are the second poster use a semicolon (:) without the parentheses to indent your comment. Finally, i see you have edited it in but try to remember to sign comments in discussion sections with ~~~~ Thank you! K-MacTfccivilian thumb.png (Talk | Contrib) 03:11, 6 December 2010 (UTC)
To add to this, if you have a comment to leave for a user, please use their talk page and not there user page. Thanks again. K-MacTfccivilian thumb.png (Talk | Contrib) 03:19, 6 December 2010 (UTC)
I'll state my case here. The first part of the strategy had been previously mentioned ("If you are entering a new area...try and use crouch to peek out"). The second part is rather subjective, and would probably result in more deaths than not if followed. Parts also generally lacked correct grammar, something lots of people are sticklers for (Articles do try to appear semi-professional, as gaming-related as they may be). I do agree, however, with your latest edit, but probably for different reasons.InShane 03:21, 6 December 2010 (UTC)
I copied this argument to the discussion page for the Sniper Strategy. More individuals will weigh in on the topic before a final decision is made. K-MacTfccivilian thumb.png (Talk | Contrib) 03:32, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

Achievements

Did someone do something to the achievements to cause them not to be edited by just anyone? because sometimes when I browse them i found errors in how to perform them (the good things are they at least get fixed) this is just out of curiosity so that next time i find an error i can email someone asking if what i think the error is, is infact an error. Lexicon249 03:39, 6 December 2010 (UTC)
Well, I'm the one who's currently revising "Obtaining Achievements" to make them easier on the eyes (I don't insert too much additional information unless it's really missing something). As of now I've only done Soldier, Pyro, and Demoman, and only attempt to take redundant information out (if someone says they can get an achievement a certain way, I won't delete it, no matter how absurd it may seem. Using the Equalizer's taunt with the Rocket Jumper equipped to achieve the highest possible rocket jump comes to mind...). Since I'll probably be attacking whatever you saw later in this little revision spree, you could just do the edit yourself or give me what ya want to add it. It's likely it appears that many of the edits are mine because I edit achievements in blocks of either five or ten, and many of the previous edits are summed up by "Imported from TF2 Wiki." So, uh, which ones are you concerned with (I pray not Soldier, Pyro, or Demoman)? InShane 04:15, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

Image test

was told to edit achievements for something this is just a test to see if i can import images

First you need to upload your image by clicking the upload file link in the toolbox to the left, but be sure to follow the user image guidelines. Then to show it in a page simply use something like

[[File:Item icon Natascha.png]]. I recommend also reading the wikitext help here. -- Lagg Backpack Stickybomb Launcher.png 04:27, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

If you're talking about achievement icons then the syntax is like this:

Single achievement:

Sap Auteur
Sap Auteur
Destroy 1000 Engineer buildings with sappers.


Multiple achievements:

Sap Auteur
Sap Auteur
Destroy 1000 Engineer buildings with sappers.


Sap Auteur
Sap Auteur
Destroy 1000 Engineer buildings with sappers.
Sap Auteur
Sap Auteur
Destroy 1000 Engineer buildings with sappers.


Sap Auteur
Sap Auteur

ok thankyou for the help ill get working on the spy related achievements for the Dispenser right now if no one has any objections. Lexicon249 04:32, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

A Cut Above

I have been seeing that alot of the spy's pistols have a specific achievement 'A Cut Above' This is not true seeing as the achievement is not specific to any pistol meaning shouldn't be included in the achievement section for spy achievements

Table Modification

Right Now

I saw another user trying to talk about a table modification i did like it but i thought i would go a step further and try to reduce some unnecessary things.

  • You can notice that the table height is much smaller then before
  • The image of the flamethrower has only been reduced by 25% so that it's still visible but reduced table height.
  • I have merged the Ammo Loaded and Ammo carried into one table because those 2 can be put into the same general column as seen above.
  • Another noticeable edit is the that instead of having the stats shown under one another e.g. the airblasts had the number ten a line under it but this way the number is right next to it and helps in the height reduction..
  • The most change that will happen (but least noticeable) if this takes affect is that the wiki pages with these tables will have their size changed a fair bit making the page smaller but with still the same amount of information.

I want as much critique as i can get on this to help the pages improve in tidiness and size to reduce the amount of download the user will have to go through (even though not much it will all add up). I really hope this idea is not frowned apon but i will accept improvement ideas to enhance these table's size and capacity. Lexar 12:36, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

You know.... that looks really good! I like your idea man! Altair 00:51, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

Thanks For The Help

Now I have a sexy signature to show off. Leaderboard class soldier.pngJust_a_Gigolo - (talk) 07:40, 5 May 2011 (UTC)

What in Sam Hell were you thinkin', Stringbean?

What was you tryin' to get to work on dat Sandbox? Lancer anti-tank Rocket 08:28, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

this
<!--
achieved
-->
{{#switch:{{lc:{{{Achno|}}}}}
 | 1 | 2 | 3 = <tr>
 <th class="infobox-header" colspan="2">{{lang
  | en = Achievement
  }}</th><!-- 
   -->{{#switch:{{lc:{{{class|}}}}}
 | Scout | Soldier | Pyro | Demoman | Heavy | Engineer | Medic | Sniper | Spy = <td><center>
 {{Show achievement|{{{class|}}}|Milestone {{{Achno|}}}|||width = 50px}}
 </center>
 </td>
 }}
 </tr>
 }}

it displays the header Achievement, but it wont take the values to draw the achievement icon. RED Überneedle.png - Lexar - talk 08:30, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

What's with the <!-- and --> Tags? Don't those hide everything wrapped in them? Lancer anti-tank Rocket 08:34, 10 May 2011 (UTC)
that part is not the issue, the issue is this bit
{{#switch:{{lc:{{{class|}}}}}
 | Scout | Soldier | Pyro | Demoman | Heavy | Engineer | Medic | Sniper | Spy = <td><center>
 {{Show achievement|{{{class|}}}|Milestone {{{Achno|}}}|||width = 50px}}
 </center>
 </td>
 }}

So...you're tryin' to create some kinda Nav for each Class's Achievements? If so, I noticed that other Templates such as the HatNav uses "Groups" like so:


| group3 = {{Class link|Pyro}}

| list3  = <!-- 

 -->[[Pyro's Beanie{{if lang}}|{{hat name|pyro's beanie}}]]{{md}}<!-- 

 -->[[Brigade Helm{{if lang}}|{{hat name|brigade helm}}]]{{md}}<!-- 

Perhaps that might bear relation to what you're trying. Lancer anti-tank Rocket 09:02, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

here is what i was wondering

{{{class|}}} <!-- needs to draw the value set in the table e.g. --> | class    = Scout
{{{Achno|}}} <!-- needs to draw the values set in the table e.g. --> | Achno    = 2
which is then put into this
{{Show achievement|{{{class|}}}|Milestone {{{Achno|}}}|||width = 50px}}

giving
{{Show achievement|Scout|Milestone 2|||width = 50px}}

im thinking they may need to be changed to this
{{Show achievement|{{lc:{{{class|}}}}}|Milestone {{lc:{{{Achno|}}}}}|||width = 50px}}

So if we was to do that in Wiki View...

[[File:{{Dictionary/achievements/Leaderboard class scout.png scout/template:achievementno-icon}}|64px|center|alt={{Dictionary/achievements/Leaderboard class scout.png scout/template:achievementno-title}}]] {{Dictionary/achievements/Leaderboard class scout.png scout/template:achievementno-title}}
{{Dictionary/achievements/Leaderboard class scout.png scout/template:achievementno-desc}}


The end result is a twisted blob of Red Links (And of course, the Scout's Icon and Link). Perhaps such a parameter needs to exist in the "Show Achievement" Template for it to be used this way. Lancer anti-tank Rocket 09:34, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

nail bat and antler hat

Dude what the hell, those disambiguation pages were helpful why did you change them to redirects,i monitor the disambiguation pages and i made those pages myself, please change them back! THE3STOOGES 22:11, 3 June 2011 (UTC)

I was responsible for their removal. They were unnecessary. There's already a deer hat page, which allows for a third hat to be linked to it, making it somewhat less useless. I doubt anyone will look up "Nail Bat" and expect to find a Pain Train, considering it's not a bat, it's just a chunk of wood, and that's not a nail, it's a railway spike. Basher isn't so much a nail bat as a bit lined with spikes. Similar, but you don't need a disambiguation page for one item.

I monitor the disambiguation pages. I spent over five hours the other night visiting every page and checking them for consistency. If you "monitor" them, why would you allow them to become such a mess? SilverHammer 22:16, 3 June 2011 (UTC)

Well i don't have the time every day to go on the computer and monitor,i do monitor them but sometimes i don't have the time. people still type in things like antler hat and nail bat and they find it useful becasue they get confused. THE3STOOGES 22:19, 3 June 2011 (UTC)

Also i know its a railway spike, i own one. THE3STOOGES 22:20, 3 June 2011 (UTC)
The only person that's confused about these pages is you, I'm afraid. If anything, they'd look up "Nail Bat" for the Boston Basher, and the Pain Train would only server to confuse them further. I think you're just upset because two pages you made got deleted. If you get upset over that sort of thing, then I don't think a constantly changing Wiki is the right place for you to spend you time. And how can you say you "monitor" specific pages and then flip-flop to say you rarely have time to spend on this website at all? If you don't have the time to monitor these pages, leave it to someone who does, I guess? SilverHammer 22:25, 3 June 2011 (UTC)
How am i confused? I'm just saying that i don't have like 5 hours to just troll around and look at pages all day. I Monitor them yeah and i look over them constantly when i can. I'm fine with the pages being changed as long as there is an explanation. THE3STOOGES 22:28, 3 June 2011 (UTC)
Well, you have your explanation then. Glad that's settled. SilverHammer 22:30, 3 June 2011 (UTC)
Woah did a whole argument just go on my talk page and I wasn't even involved? Please Talk to me again if you still want further explanation. Thankyou for your explenation SilverHammer. RED Überneedle.png - Lexar - talk 02:39, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

Undoing Trivia

Hey there... Just been reviewing your edits, I noticed that the trivia you've been removing you've been giving summaries such as "not trivia" or "observational". These aren't really useful for contributor's, and don't provide an adequate explanation for the removal of the trivia. In future, could you take more care with the summaries - explain why a trivia isn't trivia in a manner that's useful feedback to the contributor of whom's work is being removed. -RJ 17:30, 7 August 2011 (PDT)

Userpage Help

Hey Lexar,

you were offering me your help with the building of my userpage allready a few days ago and you wanted to send me a link to questions that I should answer. I did not receive anything in the last few days and I didn't feel like I want to annoy you too much about it, however I need to know if you still up to help me build a userpage. If you don't have enough spare time, then say it please, because I understand there might be more important matters than my problem, however since I want the thing done, I rly need to know if i can count on you or not?! Please let me know, allright? Thanks for the answer in advance, pal.
