Auction?

Whats the deal with the wiki auction a couple weeks back? Did you guys just sell out to the guy who bought the domain, and found this new offical wiki? [1]

Making another language page?

Please! I need a Dummie's Guide about how to make another language page for an existing article. I've never really edited something like that, or started from scratch, so If someone could provide a step-by-step guide on how to do this, it would be much apreciated. Thanks!

Old TF2Wiki...

Reading on the steam forums En Ex kindly informed me that the new owner of TF2Wiki.net has absolutely nothing to do with this official wiki. Now, that would mean the TF2Wiki has not moved at all (as stated by the page this discussion is regarding). If it was moved, then that would mean either the old or new owner made arrangements with Valve to transfer all the data across, which evidently is not the case as if so the old owner would have had to sell the website with it's Valve-sponsored hosting; and if the new owner, well he'd have something to do with the Wiki - and wouldn't be making any money (lack of ads).

I understand that the old administration is here, as is all of the content (content being in wiki format is of course in public domain), but due to my reasoning above the Wiki has not moved. It has been recreated / replaced. May I request that the page of which this discussion is regarding is re-written to make it clear that the wiki has not been moved.

The wording of this announcement is what made me think Valve bought the old Wiki, which is clearly false and had me share my false intelligence with others.

From what I know, the wiki was copied, and the owner wanted (or still wants?) to sell the tf2wiki.net domain. See this. WindPower 07:02, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
Please stop worrying about this. -- En Ex 09:47, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
Or, just wait till later on. I might have a better answer when I wake up. -- En Ex 09:52, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

Contribution credit

Noes, we lost all our contributions! Oh well, I like the move either way. Faster and no ads. Nice move, Valve! --Jojje 09:42, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
