Weapon Demonstration Project

Thats a wrap.png

The Weapon Demonstration project's goal is to build a complete library of videos demonstrating the various aspects of all weapons, game mechanics, tools, taunts and some cosmetics in Team Fortress 2.

  • The idea: To have one consistent video style demonstrating how weapons, game mechanics, tools work. As well as taunt and some cosmetics.
  • The objective: To demonstrate how everything works: viewmodels, animations, special abilities, etc.
  • The benefits: Consistent, one video per page, looks good.

Anyone meets the requirements could make a demonstration video that is needed or need to be redone for an item and submitted the video for review, if the video meets the standard and approved by Wiki administrators, your video will be uploaded to the Official TF2 Wiki Channel on YouTube and Bilibili. Check the section below for detailed requirements and guide on how to make a demonstration video. You may also find the demonstration video that is needed or need to be redone in this page. Feel free to ask any questions before starting making the demonstration on the talk page.

Reference video

Following the structure of the following videos should give you a basic idea of what is expected. Visit the Official TF2 Wiki YouTube Channel for more videos.

Taunt

Tool

Key

  • T (Talk): Link to talk page section
  • D (thumbnail Download): Direct link to the thumbnail image. Turns red when there is no thumbnail uploaded. How to make thumbnails.
  • U (thumbnail Upload): Link to thumbnail upload page. The file name and description are automatically populated; only the image file needs to be selected from the user's computer.

Due to MediaWiki limitations, D and U need to be both displayed at all times, even though they are mutually exclusive.
