It'd be a great idea to, instead of immediately undoing the edit because you assume it's incorrect, you A. Check the topic at hand out yourself, and/or B. at least look at the changes, as not all of them are just adding in small parts of advice, but are also fixing grammar.

== Adding unusual info ==
 
Hmm... well... oh dear. Before I get to work undoing all that (help would be appreciated, my computer is slow), can you give me a link to this page? -[[User:Zykx|Zykx]] 12:54, 15 November 2012 (PST)
 
:Ah, I was wondering if you meant that page, but I didn't think you did as you mentioned a page which also shows which hats ''cannot'' be uncrated in Unusual quality. No problem, I'll continue adding the Unusual tag and I'll pop in on the IRC in a bit. :) -[[User:Zykx|Zykx]]

== User Files ==
 
 
 
Hello. If you find user files with the wrong name, you can mark them with the {{tl|move}} template instead of the {{tl|delete}} template. User files with the wrong name are only deleted in certain situations. {{n}} [[User:EpicEric|<span style="color:#5885A2;font-size:15px;font-family:'Trebuchet MS';text-shadow:#e3e3e3 1px 1px 0px;"><b>Epic Eric</b></span>]] <small> ([[User talk:EpicEric|T]] <nowiki>|</nowiki> [[Special:Contributions/EpicEric|C]])</small> 10:49, 13 December 2012 (PST)

== RE: Paintability of new promos ==
 
Don't ask me, ask whoever put "yes" in the paint field in the infoboxes. -[[User:Zykx|Zykx]] 16:23, 22 February 2013 (PST)
 
:Okay, firstly, you were the one who created said pages, filling in the paint fields with "yes" despite not knowing whether they were paintable or not... then telling me to "not always believe what's in the infobox".
 
 
 
:Secondly, unless you are watching my userpage intently, I like to reply to people's messages on their own userpage where they will get the notification, as is customary for any other wiki I've ever been on. Please tell me where I've gone wrong as I'm not understanding your logic.
 
 
 
:-[[User:Zykx|Zykx]] 16:30, 22 February 2013 (PST)
 
 
 
:: Noticed that after creating the pages. I'm merely using a copied template I use for new pages. the paintablity option happened to be put as yes instead no by default. Also I'm on the IRC, So user talks are also logged. Thats why I ask if we just keep it on one user talk page. Not blaming you or anything but, just saying if you have doubts check the schema. [[User:Ashes|Ashes]] 16:33, 22 February 2013 (PST)
 
:::Ah, that makes sense. Will do in future. -[[User:Zykx|Zykx]] 16:40, 22 February 2013 (PST)
 
 
 
==Stars and Stripes beats Hammer and Sickle, LOOK IT UP!==
 
This technique could be frowned upon by some, but I go to the gallery of one of the other badges (Usually the Mercenary one) and look at the name of that item. Then go back to the one being edited (Soldier of Fortune in this case) and type out the caption, except replace the badge name in the caption with the subject one. Let me give an example...
 
 
 
Say I didn't know English, yes? I'd look at the Mercenary Gallery, look at the caption, copy it to the Soldier of Fortune Gallery to the right picture, then look at the name of both the Soldier and Fortune and Mercenary. I'd then trim out the "Mercenary" part in the caption and replace it with "Soldier of Fortune" and for class names, simply look in the other gallery, since in these cases, there's one of two galleries that have the class names if I need to write them down.
 
 
 
It seems complicated, but it's actually a little easier as you're doing it. [[File:Nemesis RED.png|19px|Yes I'm Dominating you.

: Future reference, Keep it on one talk page. 2nd, Sooo you're basically assuming a translation? Btw I'm talking about the descriptions.
 
 
 
:Example:The Scout's Soldier of Fortune medal. -> Die Glücksrittermedaille der Scout. [[User:Ashes|Ashes]] 12:38, 28 February 2013 (PST)
 
::Sort of. "Assuming" implies I'm using something like Google Translate or whatever. I'm taking the words from the wiki itself, as they appear on a very similar page and recycling them in a sense, for the active editing page. You could argue I'm just banging rocks together here, but I'm not really taking on the full challenge of ripping into the language pages properly and translating them, just cleaning and improving the quality of existing ones a bit.

That would be great! Thanks :D [[User:Ashes|Ashes]] 08:07, 3 March 2013 (PST)
 
 
 
== Adding section headers in other languages ==
 
 
 
Please do not add english section headers ("Painted Variants") etc in other languages. Use {{tlx|common string|painted variants}} instead. [[User:Darkid|<span style="color:red">Darkid</span>]] ([[Image:Item icon Killer's Kabuto.png|21px|link=User_talk:Darkid|alt=talk]]|[[Image:Item icon Digit Divulger.png|21px|link=Special:Contributions/Darkid|alt=contribs]]) 19:08, 3 March 2013 (PST)
 
: Attempted the use of common string before. Most languages aren't entered. So just leave em red or just leave em out overall? [[User:Ashes|Ashes]] 19:12, 3 March 2013 (PST)
 
::Use the common string template. Edit the dictionary to add the strings you found in other languages. Do not, under any circumstance, leave english text on other language pages without a {{tl|update trans}} tag. [[User:Darkid|<span style="color:red">Darkid</span>]] ([[Image:Item icon Killer's Kabuto.png|21px|link=User_talk:Darkid|alt=talk]]|[[Image:Item icon Digit Divulger.png|21px|link=Special:Contributions/Darkid|alt=contribs]]) 19:14, 3 March 2013 (PST)
 
::: Mk, Acknowledged. Though gonna have to find the "Correct" translation of it. Only ones I'm really looking for are strange variants, related achievements and damage and functions. If you can help me find em that'd be great. Anyways, Searching time. [[User:Ashes|Ashes]] 19:16, 3 March 2013 (PST)
 
::::Correct translation, only sortof. By adding the dictionary entry, it will allow the translators to settle on a correct translation, and change it easily. Add section headers in {{tl|Dictionary/common strings}} for those three.

== About painted hats tables ==
 
Should we really include unpainted hats in them? It seems that it defeats the purpose--and is rather tedious to add. I'm thinking we start a [[TFW:Discussion|Discussion]] about it. [[User:Darkid|<span style="color:red">Darkid</span>]] ([[Image:Item icon Pugilist's Protector.png|21px|link=User_talk:Darkid|alt=talk]]|[[Image:Item icon Operation Oil Spill Badge.png|21px|link=Special:Contributions/Darkid|alt=contribs]]) 06:56, 14 March 2013 (PDT)
 
: Hm. Good point. Since I noticed in the rest of the tables have "unpaintable" hats in the table. [[User:Ashes|Ashes]] 12:05, 14 March 2013 (PDT)
 
 
 
== I tried I did I try ==
 
 
 
But erry time I try ta categorize sumthin, you come and pull eet all from under me feet! IS THIS a JOKE, or is it a sad sad sad sad attempt to get me down?
 
 
 
(So how do I know what fantastic categories to use?)--[[User:Enthers|Samuel]] [[User:Enthers|Enthers]] 18:22, 20 March 2013 (PDT)
 
: Keep it one page next time. Once again, Snoop around. Check existing categories or check similar contents to see where they would go. That what I do. [[User:Ashes|Ashes]] 18:23, 20 March 2013 (PDT)
 
 
 
== Regarding painted images ==
 
 
 
The main issue that needed improving was the rotation. The rotations page gave the same rotation as the one on the Mann Co cap page, so I had to make a new rotation from scratch. That's why it's different.
 
 
 
Secondly, it looks fuzzy because the thumbnails need to update. The fuzzy images and bad transparancy was from the previous owner. If you look at the server-side pictures, they look much clearer.
 
 
 
If there are any more issues, I can help. --[[User:Enthers|Samuel]] [[User:Enthers|Enthers]] 13:13, 23 March 2013 (PDT)
 
 
 
== Regarding videos ==
 
 
 
We have videos for almost every other tool on the Wiki. Unless it's impossible to record, we should have videos for the ones that don't. --[[User:Enthers|Samuel]] [[User:Enthers|Enthers]] 14:33, 24 March 2013 (PDT)
 
: Had to look around first. If you really think its needed by all means try it. (Be consistent). [[User:Ashes|Ashes]] 14:47, 24 March 2013 (PDT)
 
 
 
== Memes ==
 
 
 
I am sorry about the memes. I would delete the pages; its just I just don't know how to delete them. If you could can you delete them for me? I made 3 in total, so I guess you could just delete these and the contributions on my page too? Also I am pretty new at doing any Wiki stuff so I am sorry if I upset you or anyone else. I thought I could help improve the Meme page by adding these but I guess not. Here are the links (I hope):

: Well they were deleted. Perhaps taking a look at the guides on the wiki. They should help you out. Also pop on the IRC more often if you need help. One more thing, Try to keep talks and discussions on one page instead of bouncing from one user talk to another. Thanks. [[User:Ashes|Ashes]] 13:05, 28 March 2013 (PDT)
