Are we not the autumnal European sparrows, hopping about the yard, flipping over leaves flipped so many times before, in forlorn search of food.

This is an overview study of all non-Patched Custom maps in Category:Custom maps.

Date: 2020 09 30

Source: Category:Custom maps 

Methods
  • Remove Patched maps from data set
  • High Player Count, Multi-server from memory
  • Editors of stature were engaged in the page [notable Cap Emeritus sponsor/vetter/curator]
  •  ? notability unknown or unconfirmed
  • TF2Maps events: +innovation, +patched maps source, +competitive vetting, -low-rank\non-winning maps on wiki,
  • Potato.tf event: +Notable event, +Measurable participation, +Multiple severs, +Multiple hosts, +Use outside of event
Observations
  • 4 waves of Patch Quality Community map development?:
    • Early days before there was an abundance of Patched maps, and the Community filled a demand. c. 2010-2011
    • Innovation of Community play modes Achievement, Idle, Trade, Training, Jump, etc.
    • Valve competitions for themed maps: Haunted, Jungle
    • Continuation of development of maps in absence of Valve's direct involvement: TF2 mappers, Potato
  • Several Custom maps articles were "started" in 2010, by familiar editor names, but this practice did not seem to continue, strongly.
    • The commonalty of the 2010 date may be due to the 2007 Team Fortress Wiki being ported to the Valve server in 2010.
    • Earlier map articles are presumed ported without the change history.
    • Three TF2Map.net contests predate 2010, some effort is needed to index what happened when (see the date finally added to A/D CTF and Payload Race Contest.
  • In particular, a new wave of pages cover unPatched MvM maps.
  • Recently, Admin deleted some empty (infobox only) pages. However, some have been replace with fuller content, but some with unknown notability.
  • Recently, there are some new Custom map pages with unknown notability (exhibit no evidence of notability we have discussed so far).
Questions (can you help?)
  • At some point, did TF2Maps.net consistently switch from competitions to Jams?
    • Could someone look up and add the year and blog links to the TF2Maps.net competition pages?

Some of these map I have never looked until just now at because they are unPatched, but with this light skim I am now at least curious about some of these.
