Introduction

Event Promotion on the Team Fortress Wiki is a project organised by RJackson & ran by select members of the Team Fortress Wiki staff. The project intends to make use the Wiki's very public & regularly accessed Main Page to promote events happening within the Team Fortress Community. There are a set of rules & regulations in order to have an event promoted by the Wiki, and events must adhere to set criteria to be considered legible.

Rules & Regulations

Clashing events - which takes precedence. How long are events allowed to stay on the main page for? General maintenance things like that.
  • To be decided.

Event Criteria

What makes an event legible to be promoted by us? E.g. Pubstars vs Pros will be legible, whereas somebody doing a hat raffle on SPUF won't be.
  • Sufficient community acceptance.
    We will promote events that the TF2 community have expressed interest within (We must not be the first port of call for promoting your event).
    We will not promote events that a chunk of the TF2 community wouldn't touch with a barge pole.
    Similarly, we will not promote events that support violation of the Steam Subscriber Agreement or could be considered fraudulent.
  • Well-organised.
    We will promote events that have been sufficiently planned in advance & are solid to go-ahead.
    We will not promote events that have been thrown together in an evening & aren't 100% confirmed to happen.
  • Open to a wide audience.
    We will promote events that are open to a chunk of the TF2 Community.
    Events targeting large regional groups ("Europe", "North America"), or events with no regional restrictions are acceptable.
    We will not promote events that are closed to a substantial size of the TF2 Community.
    Events with restrictions such as: "country only!", "language only!", "Members of xyz.com only!"; will not be accepted.

How to get your event promoted

What will the proposal process be & how will we decide which events we promote.
