:::::Yeah, I dunno if that made sense to anyone else than me but it doesn't matter because it sounds so epic to me that I'll do it anyway even if it's not useful/used.

::::::If we can make it happen without any bugging of Jeff, etc, then I'm sure no one would say no to having it at all. Plus I like the idea of commands. If WindBOT wants to be really awesome he could post comments to discussion pages on command - like I could say {{code|!comment Team Fortress Wiki:Discussion#Section_name Message here}} and WindBOT could post "Message here &ndash;[[User:Seb26|Seb26]] (via IRC) 07:55, 29 August 2010 (UTC)". Kind of stupid and unworkable, though. I can't really think of many things that wouldn't be easier to do than to just open up a new tab in your browser or whatever. But still, omfgircchannel.

{{outdent|::::::}} Just reread your comment again and I think external commands could come in handy somehow. Maybe when someone is tagging images for for improvement they can add something else to the summary and the bot could show who uploaded the image, the reason given for improvement, or whatever (idk).

== Protection ==

I think we should also protect the pack names or at least redirect them to the [[Polycount]] page. --[[User:Picard|Picard]] {{loc|de}} 22:10, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

== The spy's knife ==
 +
 
 +
During the Live stream for the golden wrench destruction, a user by the name RobinWalker joined the stream. Of course, everyone (including me) thought he was fake. However, near the end of the stream, he said he would answer the first question about the polycount update. The first was the knife. After a long pause, he replied. I don't have the exact quote, but the bacic gist of it is below.
 +
 
 +
Can still backstab
 +
10% more fire damage
 +
Can "failstab" 3 times before loosing your disguise
 +
 
 +
Obviously, this is not the most reliable source ever, but it seemed pretty legit to me.

::Thanks for linking to the forum. It did seem legit at the time. I should have known it was just some random troll. It's still a decent idea. Though, it WOULD cause alot of rage if it was real. It would be like the new backburner. XD --[[User:Stevoisiak|Stevoisiak]] 01:54, 26 September 2010 (UTC)

== Obtaining the models ==
 +
 
 +
See [[User talk:Shine#Polycount idea]]. I don't see why we couldn't do this and it would give us a massive head-start. {{n}}[[User:Smashman|<span class="bur">Smashman</span>]]<sub>&nbsp;([[User_talk:Smashman|talk]])</sub> {{bur}} 15:00, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

== Item names ==
 +
 
 +
I've created 2 sets of item name images based on the existing names, with and without the "''the''" prefix. Even if the names are changed later, we will still have saved at least some time.

Anyone mind if I upload item images? like [[:file:milkhat.png]] [[User:OllyTheMann|OllyTheMann]] 18:19, 12 September 2010 (UTC)

==Weapon page layout==
 +
 
 +
Just a heads up for everyone working on the Pack weapons; take a moment to look at this [[Help:Style guide/Weapons|short weapons page layout]] and construct the Polycount weapon articles in a similar structure. You don't have to, but it will save me editing them all to fit this in the long run. --[[User:Focusknock|Focusknock]] 07:46, 17 September 2010 (UTC)
