Well howdy there, pardner!

Sorry if I'm botherin' you, I'm here to pop in, say hi, give you some tips and stuff since you're new, good stuff! You have any questions, concerns, anything, hit me up and I'll answer to the best of my ability!

Foremost, your first edit. That bit about trivia. That was reverted. Why? Here on this wiki, we have a certain specific and super-important article called the style guide. The whole help center is important, but the style guide is especially important to editors, old and new alike. You'll wanna check the trivia guide out, specifically. It explains what "X of Y" means, why "This hat has been inside a crate" or "This hat is also a reference to this thing" aren't good trivia... I'll give you the short version, but it'd be great if you read it anyway. Observations aren't trivia.

If you need something to do, you can give the task list a look. I find that the easiest edits fro a new user to handle are stub expanding and article cleaning, but you should play with everything and find something that you really like! This wiki has all sorts of outlets for every kind of talent. I'm sure you'll pick up something you like in no time at all.

Recent changes patrol is a good thing to do too, once you've learned the style guide a bit. You can just refresh the log and revert any bad edits you see.

New editors are always welcome in the IRC. It's a chat room for editors to coordinate edits, help each other or just sit and casually discuss the world over coffee like gentlemen. It's a good place to learn things while getting yourself known to the community.

You have any questions, don't you hesitate to ask! Ask anyone! I'll be happy to help, but if you're more comfortable with a moderator helping you, you can hit them up. You'll find them with green names on the recent changes log, or in the IRC. They have their own channel, you can get to it through the main IRC. Just click the #tfwikistaff link in the subject header.

Have a good time editing, all right? Talk to people. I hope to see you around!

User images

Hi there, I noticed you just uploaded a series of improperly named images for use on (what I presume) your userpage. All images uploaded to the wiki need to be prefixed with "User USERNAME". For example, if I were to upload an image for my userpage, it would need to be called "User MogDog66 Filename". Hope this clears up any confusion.

(In reply to this) Well normally, all users would be able to move image files, but it's been disabled by Valve, and no one can seem to talk them out of it :). So as a work around, you'll have to ask a staff member to delete your image, then you can re-upload it with the correct name. Hope this helps! *EDIT* Oh, it seems a staff member was kind enough to move them for you, so you don't have to do anything! Just keep in mind proper image naming for future uploads MogDog66User MogDog66 Service Metal No WhiteSpace.png 23:30, 5 August 2011 (PDT)
Yes~ And also don't forget to add [[Category:User images]] in the file summary — Wind 23:33, 5 August 2011 (PDT)

El Pip-Boy

Hi, I just noticed you translated the Pip-Boy page to spanish....in the brazilian portuguese version. I just passed by to tell you to watch out to those things, I know it was just a little mistake but it makes our page look bad. :/ GianAwesome 13:06, 6 August 2011 (PDT)
