== Demoman's Fro ==
 
Should this be considered hatless or not? --[[User:Jordan|Jordan]] 22:57, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
 
:Do people on trading servers treat it as a hatless or not? But also, is the Demoman wearing a hat? For the former, I don't know. For the latter, definitely not. But he is wearing a headband, and the Sniper has a headband, and that's not hatless. In summary, I don't know, but probably not. [[User:Yyler|yyler]] ([[User_talk:Yyler|talk]]) 16:40, 3 November 2010 (UTC)
 
 
 
== '''Capitalization''' ==
 
 
 
 
 
Needs proper capitalization for names of hats. They're proper nouns. Words after the first one deserve a capital letter.

:No. -- [[User:Smashman|Smashman...]] <sub>([[User_talk:Smashman|t]] • <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.steamcommunity.com/id/smashman2004 s])</span></sub> 03:47, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
 
 
 
: I have a copy of the HatNav with capitalisation.  All that's needed is the capitalised versions of all the hats to be moved to the non-capitalised ones before I implement it.  I see you're getting on with some of that now, I'll help you. --[[User:RJackson|RJackson]] 03:56, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
 
::It seems consensus has been reach to change to proper capitalisation. Previously the policy was different to keep consistency. Feel free to update this template. -- [[User:Pilk|Pilk]] <sub>([[User talk:Pilk|talk]])</sub> 04:01, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
 
 
 
== Category: Hats ==
 
 
 
Currently the template includes [[:Category:Hats]] on every page it is transcluded in. While this is, for the most part, a good thing, there are a number of miscellaneous items where including Cat:Hats is probably a bad thing, as they are not hats. It's been a while since I've used parserfunctions, and I'm a little rusty with them, but I believe something like the below would not include Cat:Hats if the parameter category was passed to the template args, and was not blank? I guess it could be expanded so that if the category parameter is passed then the value of the category parameter '''is''' the name of the category included, but I cant remember how the switch statements worked either.
 
<pre>{{#if:{{{category|}}}|<includeonly>{{lang cat|Hats}}</includeonly>|}}</pre>
 
 
 
In other words, could someone a little more experienced check it over before I go causing havok? Cheers. [[User:Lamb|Lamb]] 22:08, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
 
:Your syntax would work perfectly, however, it'd probably be better if we just remove {{tl|lang cat}} from the hat nav altogether, considering that pages are placed in Hat and Misc categories automatically by the infobox. Thanks for the suggestion, though. [[User:Seb26|<font color="#0B61A4">'''seb26'''</font>]] [[User talk:Seb26|<span style="font-size:95%;">[talk]</span>]] 22:12, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
 
::Fair enough, I had not noticed that the infobox also included the categories. [[User:Lamb|Lamb]] 22:15, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
 
 
 
== Splitting badges from misc. items ==
 
Just like hatless and polycount are separated from hats. Looks like crap here but you'll get the point.

== Consider changing? This template is getting huge ==
 
 
 
Should we consider splitting this into several class-specific templates or similar? After the Polycount update, this has mutated out of control. It often takes up more space than the content of the actual pages now. ~ <code>[[User:Lhavelund|<font color=red><span style="font-size: 1.2em;">'''lhavelund'''</span></font>]]</code> <sup>([[User_talk:lhavelund|t]] ▪ [[Special:Contributions/lhavelund|c]])</sup> 19:14, 13 October 2010 (UTC)
 
:At the very least, I think the template should have a separate section for hatless items, like there's a category at the bottom for Misc. items. What bothers me most about this template isn't its size so much as it is flatout unorganized and just looks messy. I feel like just shifting things around and organizing the template would make it much more manageable in terms of size, but honestly I don't know much about editing templates so I'm afraid to mess with it myself. [[User:Evang7|Evang7]] 17:57, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
 
 
 
== Change from vertical table to horizontal list ==
 
 
 
I'm thinking that with the number of stuff there is now (and it'll only get bigger), it may be a good idea to lose the table format and put this template into more of a row-list format like this:

Looking at the current template, this idea takes up three-fifths the space (approximately) and doesn't have large blank chunks in the middle of nowhere. Maybe we could even use small icons, although that would look pretty cluttered. [[User:Toomai|Toomai]] [[User talk:Toomai|Glittershine]] 17:54, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

(Maybe [[Template:Allweapons Nav]] could also benefit from this idea, although since weapons need to be organized a bit more than just a bunch of rows it may not work out.) [[User:Toomai|Toomai]] [[User talk:Toomai|Glittershine]] 20:58, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

::{{c|support}}: Also, maybe try adding mini-icons like for the weapons? {{Icon weapon|weapon=Force-A-Nature|Force-A-Nature|icon-size=40x40px}} Or would that make it too big again? --[[User:CruelCow|CruelCow]] 20:48, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
 
:::Icons would look cool, but I think it would look too big again if we have both icons and text. So it'd look like [[Template:Achievements]]. [[User:Toomai|Toomai]] [[User talk:Toomai|Glittershine]] 20:54, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
 
::{{c|comment}}: It's not bad. The original template was sort of designed assuming the classes would have a fairly equal number of hats, and that Valve wasn't going to add several hundred thousand hats in the future. My only suggestion for this right now is to split the '''All''' column into two parts, which I decided to just edit into your suggestion if you don't mind.

{{c|Support}} Yesh, I like diz. We could change it to make the hatless follow the hats' release dates though (Example: Baseball Bill's Sports Shine coming before Troublemaker's Tossle Cap and after Baker Boy in the list.) -- [[User:OluapPlayer|<font color="red">'''OluapPlayer'''</font>]] <sub>([[User_talk:OluapPlayer|t]])</sub> {{adm}} [[File:User OluapPlayer Sig.png|Howdy, pardner!]] 21:24, 3 November 2010 (UTC)

== Collapsible sections ==
 
 
These templates are getting very large now, so I say we have individually collapsible sections, obviously class sections and have the section for the current hat/weapon the only one open first. This way if a user is interested in a hat for another class they can simply open another section and it'll save plenty of space which is currently being entirely used up.

== 119th Medal subpage? ==
 
 
I get confused by this: All Classes > Misc: 119th Medals (P·G·S·M), because the first part links to the update page(119th update), and is not really explained why that is so. On the update page you only see new items but not really exactly what medals are in the game and how they look like. The Part in the brackets are also not explained. This is a "Hats and Miscellaneous items"-template and there are no medals visible if u click 119th Medal. Good, now i'm thinking about a subpage that tells you short about the different medals their colors, a short text, and a link to the main medal articles? What do you think about that ppl? <br>[[File:Killicon_samgun.png|30px]] [[User:Godlike11219|NoWhereMan(godlike11219)]][[File:Bksr.PNG|45px]] 00:34, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
 
 
== Horrific Headsplitter as a halloween hat ==
 
 
I just don't see why it's classified as a halloween hat. Yes, it was added during halloween, but it drops like a normal hat. We also didn't add any sort of distinction for the Cadaver's Cranium. I think it makes it a little confusing, because every other hat in that part of the template is special in some way (event only, achievement based, exclusive store promo, etc), but the headsplitter is just a hat [[User:Balladofwindfishes|Balladofwindfishes]] 23:05, 15 May 2011 (UTC)

== Possible move? ==
 
 
Just an idea, but should we move this template and rename it Template:Cosmetic Nav? Having it named as Hat Nav and '''Hats and miscellaneous items''' isn't exactly up to date with the new cosmetics system. {{User:ClockworkSpirit2343/TalkSignature}}
 
: I've fixed the name, but we don't really need to move the template. It would cause unnecessary redirects, and you would only see that it's called Template:Hat Nav when you edit pages. --[[User:Omolong|Omolong]] ([[User talk:Omolong|talk]]) 19:18, 12 February 2014 (PST)
