Example of hidden page content.

Many Team Fortress 2 update pages contain hidden pages. These hidden pages usually contain hints to future parts of the update that have not yet been revealed, extend the background story of the game and its characters, or even rewards an item to finders on a first-come first-served basis. Some of the links to these pages have since been disabled.

Locating hidden pages

Hidden pages can usually be located by highlighting the entire page in the web browser, forcing any images or text with links to stand out. Viewing the page's source in the browser can also locate any hidden links. Cycling through hyperlinks on the webpage with the Tab key may also help locate any hidden links.
