In the "Did you know..." section the second entry is a listing about the venus symbol being in the Meet the Pyro video.  The link to the Wikipedia page goes to a page on women.  This link should be corrected to go directly to the Wikipedia page on the venus symbol:

I think we need to add robot responses and taunts because we would love to hear the robot versions of voice lines and the taunts are technically new. <small>— ''The preceding unsigned comment was added by'' '''[[User:GamerGuy09|GamerGuy09]]''' ([[User talk:GamerGuy09|talk]]) • ([[Special:Contributions/GamerGuy09|contribs]]) 22:01, 1 September 2012</small>
 
:All voice responses have a filter applied on them in-game to sound robotic-like, which means doing this for all of them wouldn't be helpful. As for the robot taunts... that's not a bad idea. Still, this page is for discussing the [[Main Page]] only, and you should probably try the [[Talk:Taunts]] or the [[Team Fortress Wiki:Discussion]] page for this instead. {{n}} [[User:EpicEric|<span style="color:#5885A2;font-size:15px;font-family:'Trebuchet MS';text-shadow:#e3e3e3 1px 1px 0px;"><b>Epic Eric</b></span>]] <small> ([[User talk:EpicEric|T]] <nowiki>|</nowiki> [[Special:Contributions/EpicEric|C]])</small> 10:33, 3 September 2012 (PDT)

== Smissmas 2012 ==
 
 
So the smissmas is coming, and VALVe released an article about it ([http://www.teamfortress.com/mechaupdate/ The update page]). The page tells about the new MvM map and a boss robot, Mecha-Engineer. It also contains 3 new weapons ("Rescue ranger" for engi, "The loose cannon" for demo and "The vaccinator" for medic) and a postcard with "Season greetings" written on the upper left corner. On the postcard there are all nine classes with a reindeer antlers, except pyro, scout and sniper. The Spy and the Demoman have a christmas ornament badge (forgot the name of the ornament), the Spy is also wearing shoulderpads much like the Fancy dress uniform, The hat that scout is wearing, is a lot like "Ye olde baker boy", but with earmuffs. Both the sniper's and pyro's hats look like ski masks. Balloonicorn has a new reindeer-like skin. The classes are all holding the new festive weapons, from left to right:
 
Axtinguisher(pyro), ???(demo, the gun is not visible), Ubersaw(medic), Frontier justice(engineer), Huntsman(sniper), Ambassador(spy), Sandwich(? heavy is holding a triangular package, the same shape that sandwich has), Holy mackerel(scout) and Buff banner(soldier).

== Unofficial TF2 project page ==
 
 
Hello,
 
I would like to know if I can add a wiki page about something that isn't developed by valve but by the community, in the TF2 world of course.
 
The project is the  Electric Boogaloo, where the community make robot version of the hats and miscs.
 
Thanks,  [[User:ViST3|ViST3]] 21:40, 24 February 2013 (PST)

== Characters in the comics ==
 
 
I was thinking, should we have a section on the playable characters page to explain their roles in the official comics so far and which comics they appear in? It makes sense to me.
 
Or, have a separate page for the characters as they appear in the comics, since that's what a lot of superhero wikis and wikis dealing with multiple universes or canons tend to do.

:I don't know, the comic pages themselves tend to explain what's going on--and it's not like there's a huge amount of continuity within the comics, or that this continuity is so horridly broken by the game.

Well, not previously, but now they have like TF comics #1 and TF comics #2 so it seems like they're starting to explore having a more continuous story. (Although it probably started with Blood Brothers)

== TF2 Beta link ==
 
 
Being the TF2 beta is completely defunct these days I think we should replace the link with something else.

== There is no "All class cosmetics" page? ==
 
 
I was looking at the cosmetic items of the classes and noticed the [[List of All class cosmetics|List of All class cosmetics]] page is completely empty. I thought that maybe the page linked on the [[Cosmetic items|Cosmetic items]] page was not correct and there was a correct page elsewhere but when I googled this, it was the only page that appeared other than the obviously outdated tf2wiki's page [http://tf2wiki.net/wiki/List_of_All_class_cosmetics (found here)]. I'm not sure if we have never had an all class cosmetic page or if it was deleted when it was last modified over a year ago, but we shouldn't ignore the hats that can be worn by every class considering we are the wiki of the one and only hat simulator for crying out loud...
 
 
Just so you know I am completely new to the wiki and wiki editing for that matter but I might try creating/fixing the page myself if no else is up to it.

== Out-dated main-pages ==

The http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Main_Page/hu page has an out-dated hats section in the index, and has an out-dated game modes picture
 
 
The http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Main_Page/no has an out-dated hats section (should be cosmetics with different picture)
 
 
The http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Main_Page/pt has an out-dated hats section (should be cosmetics with different picture)
 
 
The http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Main_Page/ro has an out-dated hats section (should be cosmetics with different picture)
 
 
The http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Main_Page/sv has an out-dated hats section (should be cosmetics with different picture) and has slightly smaller game mode picture in the index

It most likely will not be until all changes are done. Same with the formatting as it still needs work for the page. [[User:Ashes|Ashes]] ([[User talk:Ashes|talk]]) 12:08, 8 July 2016 (PDT)
 
 
== Fix language tab on right side menu ==

== Are we unable to have Collapsible elements? ==
 
 
I've made attempts to make collapsible elements, or tables rather, no progress. I wonder if they disabled/ban the collapsible element, feedback/help would be appreciated.

:We indeed have collapsible elements, look no further than the table at the top of this very page. I think there's not much more to it than just adding a 'collapsible' class to the table, something like {{code|<nowiki>{| class="wikitable collapsible" ...</nowiki>}}.

== Adding New Content ==
 
 
Is it me, or has the Main Page stayed the same for a while now. I feel like we should change the featured article from the [[Gunslinger]] to something else. It has been the Featured Article for a long time. Change it to a weekly featured article. Also, if possible maybe we can add a monthly/weekly poll for users to use, so we can see their TF2 info and help the users get more involved in the Wiki. One final idea is to have the [[Team Fortress 2]] page put on the index of the Main Page.
 
If anyone has more ideas, add them to the bottom, we can make some great contributions to the Wiki this way!

Except for two pages: "Main Page/Page.css" and "Main Page/Page.js". These two pages are weird. For one thing, they're both blank. Main Page/Page.css merely displays the text "// Empty". That is also the full content of its source code. Main Page/Page.js is about four times as elaborate, with source code consisting of "// Empty but protected from edits." For another thing, they're both, well, uncategorized. For a third thing, they're both (as Page.js says) protected from edits.<br />
 +
Are these pages waiting to be edited for some greater purpose? Do they have hidden code that's necessary for the wiki's function? Are the required to sate the hunger of some ravenous spaghetti code monster? Or..?<br />

Revision as of 18:07, 8 September 2021



Index update 2019

  1. Shouldn't one of Contracker or Jungle Inferno Campaign take the place of something on the Index Column 1 or 3?
  2. Shouldn't Comics take the place of something on the Index Column 1 or 3?

Maybe Item Quality and Critical Hits go.

An idea for translated main page

There is a navigation section which showed "Guidelines", "Discussion" etc, which doesn't appear for translated home pages.

And so Dereko tried adding a navigation (which is also shared with other important zh-hans pages) right there to improve the zh-hans page, though without a formal discussion (please forgive me if it's rude).
The navigation section includes useful links for both translators and visitors, from where they can enter translation progress page much easilier than before, or use another page I am working on to search for pages using Chinese names.

You can have a look at here (very clear with a Chinese TF Logo), and Dereko wonders if it's ok to keep it.

Thanks for spending time here :D User Dereko Name.png 14:11, 17 November 2019 (UTC)


Hyperlink name: why don't we just call it 'archive'?

Dear people of the TF wiki,

In the Featured article section, there's a 'Previously featured' hyperlink.

but the page which through the hyperlink has current featured article, not only previous featured articles.

why don't we just named that hyperlink as 'archive'? It would be much appropriate name. 123rse (talk) 08:51, 22 November 2019 (UTC)

The previous featured articles are right below the current featured article. See Template:FeaturedArticle#Previous_featured_articlesTark lm(pt-br) 17:04, 25 January 2020 (UTC)

Should some form of warning be put in place regarding the leak?

Source code for TF2 and CSGO was leaked, allowing for RCE. I think some form of warning advising players not to play until Valve responds would be appropriate. Salty DogInfernalShroom (Talk) 17:43, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

Yes

I'd put it on every page. Banner blindness and stuff. And not everyone visits the wiki through the main page, and this is vital information. { TidB | t | c } 18:27, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
I agree, putting this warning on every page will ensure that anyone who visits the wiki will see it. Salty DogInfernalShroom (Talk) 18:29, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
The situation is extraordinary and requires that we inform this everyone that comes here and at all times - that means putting the banner everywhere. In "best" case scenario the game becomes unplayable thanks to "just" exploits found in the engine, and at worst we have a real disaster in form of RCE, with a possibility of more than just 1 method of doing that. Goodjob (talk)
Good points, I'll look into if it's possible to have it visible on all pages without editing every single page for it. Killicon flaming huntsman.png VasyaTheWizard (talk) • (contributions) 18:37, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
