== [[Cow Mangler 5000]] ==
 
 
It disintegrates players, even their gibs! It fires lazers, first soldier weapon to directly cause mini-crits. Has the disabling affects of a sapper(without the obvious destruction). Has moar ammo in a clip than any weapon, and the most ammo, being indefinitely usable. Is moderately easy to craft. Ummmm..... Thats about it please nominate this lol.... <small>— ''The preceding unsigned comment was added by'' '''[[User:Bunnydav1d|Bunnydav1d]]''' ([[User talk:Bunnydav1d|talk]]) • ([[Special:Contributions/Bunnydav1d|contribs]]) </small>
 
 
: {{C|Comment}} Articles should be nominated based on the article itself, not on the weapon. --{{User:Firestorm/sig}} 08:13, 9 August 2011 (PDT)
 
 
== [[Item timeline]] ==
 
 
Something of a hub article. It is a complete, interesting, informative article. Heck of a lot of links... pretty much exactly what's on the tin. It's an item timeline. It does what it says it will and looks sexy doing it. --[[User:SilverHammer|SilverHammer]] 23:25, 16 August 2011 (PDT)
 
:{{C|Neutral}} It's got what it needs to be, but it's a list. We'd be better off showing off the weapons, or the item sets. I'm gray here. [[User:Triscuitable|Triscuitable]] 20:34, 19 August 2011 (PDT)
 
 
== [[Kill icon]] ==
 
Not much to say, it's a good page and informative. {{n}} [[User:Cructo|{{tf2b|text=Cructo|size=15px}}]] <span style="font-size:10px"><nowiki>[</nowiki>[[User_talk:Cructo|T]]<nowiki>][</nowiki>[[Special:Contributions/Cructo|C]]<nowiki>]</nowiki></span> 17:11, 6 November 2011 (PST)

== [[Halloween Costumes]] ==
 
 
Is complete, well linked, helps document an event, shows players in full costumes and has video demos of effects where they exist [[User:Govcon|Govcon]] 18:59, 11 April 2012 (PDT)
 
 
== [[Soldier]] ==
 
 
Clean, pure execution on a theme. Nicely represents the backstory and weaponry of this class. Clean explanation of Speed, despite obvious complexity. ([[User:Darkid|<span style="color:#7E7355">Darkid</span>]] ([[User talk:Darkid|<span style="color:#3F56AD">Talk</span>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Darkid|<span style="color:#CC2200">contribs</span>]]) 18:22, 5 June 2012 (PDT))
 
 
== [[Kritzkrieg]] ==
 
 
Perfunctory but excellent explanation of this weapon. Clarifies confusing charge rates, and has a well-put-together weapon demo. ([[User:Darkid|<span style="color:#7E7355">Darkid</span>]] ([[User talk:Darkid|<span style="color:#3F56AD">Talk</span>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Darkid|<span style="color:#CC2200">contribs</span>]]) 18:22, 5 June 2012 (PDT))
 
 
<!-- Saved for reference purposes.
 
Hell, almost all of the Milestone weapons' pages. The full list includes:
 
[[Ambassador]], [[Axtinguisher]], [[Backburner]], [[Blutslauger]], [[Chargin' Targe]], [[Cloak and Dagger]], [[Dead Ringer]], [[Direct Hit]], [[Equalizer]], [[Flare Gun]], [[Force-A-Nature]], [[Frontier Justice]], [[Gunslinger]], [[Huntsman]], [[Killing Gloves of Boxing]], [[Kritzkrieg]], [[Natascha]], [[Razorback]], [[Sandman]], [[Scottish Resistance]], and [[Ubersaw]].
 
 
If I had to pick, I'd say the Huntsman, Kritz, and Dead Ringer would be my top 3 nominees. All of these are well-written, well-rounded, and well, great!

:Adding on to the general list, I'll add in the rest of the class pages which haven't made the cut yet. [[Scout]], [[Soldier]], [[Pyro]], and [[Demoman]]. Soldier is top of my list there.

== [[Replay Editor]] ==
 
 
This article itself has some nice and good information about the Replay system and has a little guide on how to start a movie and how to edit it, functions get's explained easily, render info for best film preformances and the article keeps up in track with the update history, easy to understand if you take time reading and very interesting. Link [[Replay_Editor|here]]! Let's see some replying on this.

:{{c|Neutral|I'm neutral here.}} It's interesting, but the lack of pictures, nearly over-excessive use of bold text, and long paragraph-y format is a bit detracting. However, the material is extensive but not superfluous.[[User:Darkid|<span style="color:#7E7355">Darkid</span>]] ([[User talk:Darkid|<span style="color:#3F56AD">Talk</span>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Darkid|<span style="color:#CC2200">contribs</span>]]) 15:29, 2 June 2012 (PDT)

: {{c|Support}} Given that a [[Talk:BLU#Requesting merge|merge proposal]] has been made regarding the RED and BLU articles, I think it appropriate to revisit the FA status of RED and BLU. The argument for merge is that the articles are redundant. A counter-argument is that that very redundancy is fundamental to the themes of the articles. If the two articles are intentionally so similar, and if the decision falls against the merge, then BLU should have at least a brief, if long overdue, stint as featured article if only to complete the intended symmetry.

I nominate this article as it clearly defines all the different variations of robots. This article also assists new players in learning what each icon means, what this robot can do and how to counter it. It offers links to pages that go more in depth on every robot. The final reason why I nominate this article is the unused content section offers a clear view on all of the unused robots, as it clearly describes each and every one.

This article is informative on what the Unusual effects are, how they look, and just straight up information on unusuals themselves.

:{{c|=|Actions}} There are some issues/improvements that can be considered before promoting to FA.<s>
 +
:1. Which blog post announced that Valve were working on a new training map for a class? This should be linked for a FA.
 +
:2. Please, link the July 15, 2010 announcement.</s>

:3. Check that any reference to item sets mentioned in the page that are not ''Polycount Pack'' item sets are clearly so indicated. (my <u>March 2</u> edit may have fixed the only instance)
 +
:4. None of the items under Trivia conform to [[Help:Style guide/Trivia|Trivia Style]] (about content not added to the game); however, exception can be granted if other editors think so, because of the notability of the competition, and state here. Otherwise, IMO, the Trivia should be deleted before FA.
 +
:5. Is the history of ''Polycount Pack''-released items complete? Would someone check and report here whether all items from this contest that were released into the game are covered in the article. They probably are, but a FA nomination should be double-checked for completeness.

The contents of this page are thoroughly explained and well written, it has proper images and links, and the subject matter is detremental to gameplay. I was surprised when I found this article wasn't featured among the Sentry Gun and Dispenser, as the teleporters are as important to gameplay as the Engineer's other buildings.

Pictogram plus.png Hoog support How the BLU article didn't get into featured article? How pootis happen? Hoog support TheGuy299 04:05, 24 December 2012 (PST)
Pictogram plus.png Support Given that a merge proposal has been made regarding the RED and BLU articles, I think it appropriate to revisit the FA status of RED and BLU. The argument for merge is that the articles are redundant. A counter-argument is that that very redundancy is fundamental to the themes of the articles. If the two articles are intentionally so similar, and if the decision falls against the merge, then BLU should have at least a brief, if long overdue, stint as featured article if only to complete the intended symmetry. Mikado282 (talk) 14:20, 24 June 2017 (PDT)
The merge discussion is closed. The result of the discussion was "do not merge". MIKADO282 oOOOOo oo oo 15:19, 21 April 2018 (UTC)
Pictogram plus.png Support So, there is just as much reason for BLU to be a Featured Article as there ever was for RED. M I K A D O 282 oOOOOo oo oo (talk) (Help Wanted!) 03:49, 26 January 2019 (UTC)

Mannpower

The new mode in development. It has a lot of great information on the mode, powerups, and others. Plus, we really need to change the Featured Article. It's been stuck on "Mann vs Machine" for so long. --Dr. Scaphandre (talk) 17:08, 23 June 2015 (PDT)

Main menu

The main menu page is a well organized page about all the features of the game's main menu. It has organized tables with images of each feature that describe them in full detail, and has quick links to other parts of the wiki. --Dr. Scaphandre (talk) 14:50, 5 October 2015 (PDT)

Pictogram minus.png Disagree Yes, Main Page is great, but the job of FA is to guide users to the best content; no need to guide them to where they already are. M I K A D O 282 oOOOOo oo oo (talk) (Help Wanted!) 21:22, 27 January 2019 (UTC)

Holy Mackerel

Not much to say, it's a good page and informative. Perkzitos (talk) 15:39, 10 June 2017 (PDT)

Pictogram plus.png 100% Agree! A well-made page for my personal favorite stock reskin. Alert.pngThis page has been defiled by Jboby1! (U|T|C)Alert.png 21:49, 17 February 2019 (UTC)

Achievement items

It's a big part of TF2, how has this not been featured already? -- User BrofessorBeta SignaturePic.jpgBrofessorBeta (Talk | contribs) 18:07, 13 March 2018 (UTC)

Maybe. Its should first be decided whether to add the new contract reward items as Achievement items, since they are Achievement items. Please see: Talk:Achievement items‎#Contract reward items are Achievement items. Mikado282 (talk) 04:04, 14 March 2018 (UTC)
I consider the discussion closed: no addition of Contract items. (Feel free to create Contract items). M I K A D O 282 oOOOOo oo oo (talk) (To Do) 17:56, 8 July 2018 (UTC)
Pictogram neutral.png Uncommitted Maybe if I knew about this page 6 years ago. It's kind of just a big list; yes, it is more than that; it functions as a NAV for players looking for items they can earn by playing (after game purchase in some cases). And it does have some instructional content. If others like it I have no problem. M I K A D O 282 oOOOOo oo oo (talk) (To Do) 17:56, 8 July 2018 (UTC) 18:28, 8 July 2018 (UTC)

Enclosure

An entertaining tribute to the work that went into this Community map. M I K A D O 282 oOOOOo oo oo (talk) (Help Wanted!) 21:08, 27 January 2019 (UTC)

Polycount Pack

A well-written, in-depth page on the history of the first item sets in game. Alert.pngThis page has been defiled by Jboby1! (U|T|C)Alert.png 21:54, 17 February 2019 (UTC)

Pictogram comment.png Actions There are some issues/improvements that can be considered before promoting to FA.
1. Which blog post announced that Valve were working on a new training map for a class? This should be linked for a FA.
2. Please, link the July 15, 2010 announcement.
Pictogram tick.png Dead! (citations rather than links) M I K A D O 282 oOOOOo oo oo (talk) (Help Wanted!) 15:07, 23 March 2019 (UTC)
3. Check that any reference to item sets mentioned in the page that are not Polycount Pack item sets are clearly so indicated. (my March 2 edit may have fixed the only instance)
4. None of the items under Trivia conform to Trivia Style (about content not added to the game); however, exception can be granted if other editors think so, because of the notability of the competition, and state here. Otherwise, IMO, the Trivia should be deleted before FA.
5. Is the history of Polycount Pack-released items complete? Would someone check and report here whether all items from this contest that were released into the game are covered in the article. They probably are, but a FA nomination should be double-checked for completeness.
M I K A D O 282 oOOOOo oo oo (talk) (Help Wanted!) 23:51, 2 March 2019 (UTC) 00:04, 3 March 2019 (UTC)
Don't take the above as critical of the FA nomination. The Polycount Pack is historic to TF2. And it is normal for FA noms to draw closer scrutiny. Normally, I would manage these changes myself, but I am way overbooked. M I K A D O 282 oOOOOo oo oo (talk) (Help Wanted!) 17:35, 3 March 2019 (UTC)


Closed nominations

Duck Journal

Very unique page, well-written, and has a lot of information and images on it. Each contents of the page are really well explained and as well listing to other areas of the Wiki. I also think that the "Mann vs. Machine" featured article on the main page are quite outdated, especially as it states "In the newly added Mann vs. Machine game mode...", so we probably need something else for that.

Pictogram plus.png Support Its unique mechanic and attribute make this item worth to be feature article. With good writing and the way to explain the mechanic, I think it should be there. User Hinaomi Hinaomi-sig.png Rikka Takanashi (talk) • (contributions) 20:56, 23 June 2015 (PDT)

Pictogram tick.png Done! It's rather well-written, and I feel that after the improvements made to the article by Mikado, it definitely deserves to be one. --User LordKelvin Signature.png LordKelvin 17:49, 30 July 2015 (PDT)

Can you please change the image? The model is too pointy and it doesn't look too good on the main page. I would suggest using the File:Duck Journal.png instead, or the Backpack Icon (though, proper cropped). The only issue with the Backpack Icon would be that the Duck is yellow and not orange as it's in-game.

Decorated

Well... It is an interesting and informative article, and not really long (and boring) at the same time. Also its content is not that old and not that new at the same time. It has lots of pictures for the people who loves images and some nice interface stuff. It is one of the rare articles that I managed to read until its end before I decided to translate it. So... you know. It is nearly the perfect article to be featured. Cagrimanoka/tr - (Say something) 12:02, 24 August 2016 (PDT)

Pictogram plus.png Support The page is extremely well done with lots of well fleshed out templates. With good writing and explains easily the concept of skins, I agree. --User Dr. Scaphandre Golden Ghastly Gibus.png Dr. Scaphandre 12:05, 24 August 2016 (PDT)
