Should the sketchek tribute be mentioned?

While it has been officially removed for a while, it was in the game. Maybe a simple opening in the "Trivia" section?

No, it shouldn't be added because the reason the tribute was removed was because sketchek faked his death so it shouldn't be credible trivia.

Why tho? Doesn't a simple paragraph like this sound good? "In 2016 the death of Sketchek, a popular pyro youtuber, was announced. In response, Valve added a tribute in the stats of the Axtinguisher, a weapon strongly associated with his online persona. After 3 years, a video was posted on Sketchek's channel revealing that he hadn't passed, prompting Valve to remove the tribute"

It's already mentioned in the update history. No need to mention it again.

Joshuadinada (talkcontribs)

It is mentioned but it doesn't tell you why it was added or why it was removed. Also it's a bit hidden in there...

Agree with Mediarch, it's in the update history when it was both added and removed.

Pictogram nope.png Nope, Trivia should not be update history. Personally, I don't think it needs to be explained, the update history is exactly for changes and explaining why this was removed is not any more relevant than explaining why something any other stat has been removed.

Users might be more incentivised to look a the "Trivia" section rather then the "Update History". Also, I think a stat is a little diffrent compared to a tribute of a presumed dead person.

The reasons as to why changes were made are just as interesting as to why they removed a single tribute imo. Trivia is also not for update history, that's in the style guide.
