Talk:War Paint
Should each war paint on this page also mention what grade it is?
They are sorted by case, but there is no easy to look at place that will tell the users what grade each paint comes in. The item grades are important, determining rarity and price in the trading community, and even in-game, it affects which ones are compatible for use in a Mann Co. Trade Up. Also, I am brand new to wiki editing, and this is my first time using a talk page. Please tell me whether I am actually doing this correctly or just making a mess here. --Dork Sauls 4 (talk) 05:15, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
- Hmmm, I don't know much about War Paints and Grades. Does each War Paint have one grade? Then maybe the names in the galleries can be color-coded by grade, thus:
- Backpack War Paint Anodized Aloha.png
Anodized Aloha
- Backpack War Paint Yeti Coated.png
Yeti Coated
- Some templating could be done to simplify the formatting, maybe a derivative of Template:tf2b.
- Could also include {{Template:Decorated grade table}}.

- Maybe add "<br>(Mercenary)", "<br>(Elite)" etc after the names? - BrazilianNut (talk) 20:12, 25 December 2019 (UTC)
Rename the images for the Winter 2019 Collection?
Up until the Scream Fortress X Collection, backpack icon images for the War Paints have been named like "Backpack War Paint [paint name]", but, for a reason unknown to me, the Winter 2019 Collection paints were named like "Backpack [paint name] War Paint Factory New".
While this does not affect the article in any way, shape or form (except for this one translation where they had it ready for when the images were uploaded by following the conventional naming format, only to have them be named in a different one, though that has already been fixed), it does feel kind of weird to have
File:Backpack War Paint [paint name].png
File:Backpack War Paint [paint name].png
File:Backpack War Paint [paint name].png
File:Backpack War Paint [paint name].png
File:Backpack [paint name] War Paint Factory New.png
File:Backpack [paint name] War Paint Factory New.png
File:Backpack [paint name] War Paint Factory New.png
File:Backpack [paint name] War Paint Factory New.png
Opinions? - BrazilianNut (talk) 14:26, 24 December 2019 (UTC)
- I'll reupload the old ones later this week. No worries. — Tark lm(pt-br) 15:01, 24 December 2019 (UTC)
About the application of new template
While I personally love the new design and appreciate the nice work, there are Chinese visitors who would like to use the page to search the English names by corresponding Chinese names.
To meet their needs, I used to put the names together like this:
- Backpack War Paint Anodized Aloha.png
椰林风光
Anodized Aloha
I wonnder if there could be a solution for it. If it's not possible, perhaps I could add another section on the Chinese page for the searching?
