Hello, Akolyth!

Welcome to the Team Fortress 2 Official Wiki!

Here are a few links to get you started:

  • If you're not too familiar with editing wikis, you might like to start with Help:Editing.
  • If you already are familiar with wikiediting, you might want to try Help:Style guide.
  • Recent Changes will let you see others' contributions as they happen.
    • To make Recent Changes more useful for all users, remember to provide an edit summary in the "Summary" field before you save your changes.
    • You can set the wiki to prompt you for a summary in your preferences.
  • When posting on an article's Talk page you should add four tilde symbols or ~~~~ onto the end.
    • This will add a signature and timestamp to your comment so others can easily tell who posted it.
    • Any new sections on an article's Talk page should be added to the bottom of the page and not to the top.
    • When editing normal article pages, don't sign your contributions.
    • You can use the Signature Icon.png button in the editing toolbar to quickly add a signature.
  • If you have any questions or need any help, please feel free to leave a message for a staff member.
  • If you have trouble with anything on the wiki or you're not sure about a specific topic, feel free to join the IRC.
  • You can also customize your user page if you like.
    • When uploading images for use on your user page, please add the prefix User Akolyth to the file's name.
    • Additionally, if you would like to add any self-made content to the wiki, please do so by adding the prefix User:Akolyth/ to the page title when you create the page.

Once again, welcome to the Team Fortress 2 Wiki!

Why are you editing the french man's berret page

is this some kind of joke?, really, i go in and make a good description and you ruin it

Read the style guide, and your English isn't that good.--Akolyth (talk) 00:59, 23 March 2018 (UTC)

Tundra Top: how I made a hat

Well, while I left texturing to QuestionablyInsane, to create the base mesh of the hat it took me like one hour. Then as the trivia I added says, i used a base of an older cosmetic I created and was modifying it, enhanching it as well. It took me at least three hours or so to create it.

Community (effect)

I think 10 or more edits on the same page in such a short timespan is more than enough, don't you? ;) (Use the preveiw button to look how it looks before adding, it really helps). Other than that, keep up the good work and have fun. Faghetti V.2 (talk) 07:28, 3 April 2018 (UTC)

Contributions to the German section

Hello Akolyth,

I undid all of your contributions to the German section of this wiki. Please don't use automatic translators like Google Translate and also refrain from translating or adding information if you don't have sufficient knowledge of the language. Please instead focus on improving the wiki in languages that you fluently speak. Thanks and have fun! — shots fired by: Nikno {Talk | Contribs} 17:32, 3 April 2018 (UTC)

I do not use automatic translation services. I have basic knowledge of German from a distant relative who grew up in a small village in eastern Saxony. I concede that he was raised with a peculiar dialect but he has command of Standard German as well. What was wrong with my translations? Please give details. Also a Steam acquaintance from the Munich area said my translations were decent. Also you should have just corrected instead of deleting. I have been editing German Wikipedia too and have not been reverted like this. You just deleted everything wantonly because you found some minor error from the Standard dialect?--Leaderboard class allclass.png Akolyth (talk) 18:01, 3 April 2018 (UTC)
These were no "minor errors" but parts of your additions were gibberish. Every German speaker who knows how to read and write would recognize that. I feel very sorry for you, but it totally looked like automatic translation, because it was at its level. I didn't correct them because the pages need general overhaul anyway. I'll take a look at them again, though.
For the future please concentrate on languages where you have more than "basic knowledge". This is not offensive, but you just lack some well-founded German in order to write on a wiki. Feel free to link me to your additions in the German wiki. — shots fired by: Nikno {Talk | Contribs} 18:08, 3 April 2018 (UTC)

Well, regarding the German section I'm the only moderator and not looking here much lately. After taking a closer look at your edits, I guess most Germans would understand what you want to say.
