== About my Wiki project ==
 
 
Hey there. I saw your comment on Moussekatee's talk page, and I'm happy that you're interested in it. Right now I'm just looking for friendly advice, but if I can get somebody to do some of the more monotonous stuff like copying templates, it will allow me to write up more definitions and get the Wiki out of psuedo-alpha.
 
 
I do know what you do on the Wiki, and I'm not sure if I need to do any under-the-hood black magic yet. My main goal with the project is making a wiki that's easy to learn yet full of useful information - something that only a few wikis have done.
 
 
How do you want to approach this? I'll have to make a to-do list or at the very least a style guide. But talk to me as soon as you can of course.
 
 
Thanks,

:Well you shouldn't need to _copy_ templates, that sorta defeats the purpose. You shouldn't need to make a style guide, I can make it with you. Unless you have some specific ideas.

::Well not copy the source code into the page; it's just that all of my star templates are very similar to each other due to the way parameters in templates work. I can't get parameters to hide data - just replace them with text or with other templates, which would either create a template soup or a hard-to-use system of manually adding in stars and spans. Not worth that.
 
::So I just copy and paste the source code from another star template, modify it to suit the definition, and then put in as a new template. Not efficient, but the alternatives are so poor that this is my current solution.
 
::I'll have to make a style guide eventually. I'll consider it when I get a few more definitions in order. And then I'll need to write how to use the Wiki and what it all means. When do I start that? Maybe when I have three definitions.
 
::Also I'm seriously struggling with the concept of Wiki main page design and organisation. I'll cross those bridges when I get to them.
 
::I just don't know when I'm ready to accept new users to edit the page. I need at least eight definitions and one game page for that to happen. Then I'll be comfortable.
 
::--[[User:Enthers|Samuel]] [[User:Enthers|Enthers]] 22:09, 7 January 2015 (PST)
 
:::I've made a simpler template [http://game-difficulty.wikia.com/wiki/User:Jbzdarkid/Sandbox on my sandbox], which can be used for all definitions, if you want.
 
:::I'll let you get to 4-5 definitions before I try to contribute there. I'm not sure if I'm the right person for it anyways, although I do have speedrunning and competitive gaming perspectives.
 
:::Wikia is very fluid with main pages; you'd do fine to have a list of popular games/common themes or some of the more interesting results/facts. This would not need any particular organization, just a simple list or sub-sectioned list.

== Festive weapon ru ==
 
 
Hi, I do not understand why you broke [[Festive_weapons/ru]] article? :D <nowiki>{{item link|Festive Scattergun}}</nowiki> usual and easy variant than <nowiki>{{common string|Festive item|Scattergun}}</nowiki>. Why these changes? <nowiki> ru: Праздничная {{item name|{{{2}}}}}</nowiki> u cant make one template for all festive weapons because of the features Russian syntax: "Празднич'''ная''' бита" but "Празднич'''ный''' ракетомет". Will be errors for example: <s>"Празднич'''ная''' ракетомет"</s> <span style="font-family:TF2 Build; color:#476291">[[User:Radist|RADIST]]</span>[[File:Killicon conscientious objector.png|50px|link=User:Radist]] 02:01, 21 January 2015 (PST)
 
:The dictionary had around 30 different entries reading almost exactly the same. This change is trying to consolidate those strings, so that every time a new festive weapon is added, it doesn't need its own string. If there's a pluralization concern (which seems to be what you're saying), it would be very easy to add an additional plural parameter. I.e:
 
:<nowiki>{{common string|Festive item|Scattergun|true}}</nowiki> -> Праздничная Обрез
 
:<nowiki>{{common string|Festive item|Scattergun|false}}</nowiki> -> Праздничный Обрез

== Never used companies. ==
 
 
Hi, Darkid, I've been off for a few months, big project on another wiki, but back now.  I just saw that you changed the extension of two images on Template:List_of_companies.  No problem with that. However, that reminds me of the question of whether the never used companies should be removed from the list.  Months back, I could not find Co Op, Farmers Elevator, Farmers Feed & Seed Co., Ferguson System, Holdingford Mill, or Superior Feeds on any Valve released map.  I presume the OP did use them in maps we help develop, but they did not make it to the release.  Obviously, each of these was directly taken from real signs, all of which still exist, and some are still active trademarks, which is probably why they are not used. (Unless they have been used in a recently released map.)  Do you think they should stay in the list? [[User:Mikado282|Mikado282]] ([[User talk:Mikado282|talk]]) 18:29, 26 February 2015 (PST)
 
:The point of the list is to source images '''found in game'''. If the companies logos are no longer in use, they should be removed. I've cleaned up the organization on that list, so anything which is Unknown, Unknown should either be referenced, or checked and removed. [[User:Darkid|<span style="color:red">Darkid</span>]] ([[User talk:Darkid|<span style="color:blue">Talk</span>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Darkid|<span style="color:grey">Contribs</span>]]) 19:10, 26 February 2015 (PST)
 
 
:: '''found in game''' includes videos and comics or not?  You deleted some media only signs but not others.
 
:: Not so much "no longer used" but "never used".
 
::* item link|Sandman was parenthetically under "Company (and/or Products)" because it is a product not a company, so you moved it to Properties (Signage)?  Sandman is neither property or signage.
 
::* While back I put Foundry in parenthesis because there is no Blue Corn Co. property on Foundry. Please see [[Template talk:List of companies#Changes to first and second columns]]; the point being, the actually "front company" property is on Granary, but signage only appears on other maps. Perhaps the convention so be noted on the article in stead of just in the Talk; at least change the heading "...(Signage) to (Signage only)?  (See recent edit to Template)
 
::* Edible Wood Pulp is the product
 
::* Crummy's Burgers, ''et. al.'', again, some companies clearly have major properties on specific maps, I think some wanted to indicate the distinction on past format for the table, I tried to clean it up with the column changes.  Some seem to have connection to Storyline. Some just have signage.  The convention I tried to set up is parentheses indicate signage only.  Similarly, there is no property for Driller, etc.
 
::* /(molecule in green leaf): Logo/ is incorrect, /''molecule in green leaf'' logo/ was intended, maybe /"molecule in green leaf" logo/ is better.
 
::* (Teleporters) is a product not a company
 
:: [[User:Mikado282|Mikado282]] ([[User talk:Mikado282|talk]]) 20:57, 26 February 2015 (PST)
 
:::With regards to the Teleporter / Sandman, I was picturing column 2 would be Appearance(s) in game, or something similar. That could include comics, or not, either is fine -- as long as it's clear.
 
:::I wasn't trying to clean out/change anything, just remove the seemingly arbitrary parenthesis. If you want something complex in the columns, document it in the template, change the header, or just put a Note: somewhere on the page.
 
:::Whoops, I see that I didn't understand the green leaf logo. #3 reads much better.
 
:::[[User:Darkid|<span style="color:red">Darkid</span>]] ([[User talk:Darkid|<span style="color:blue">Talk</span>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Darkid|<span style="color:grey">Contribs</span>]]) 21:15, 26 February 2015 (PST)
 
 
:::: OK, I have some more time (for a couple hours).  Consider the format before June 2013 and the changes [[Template talk:List of companies#Changes to first and second columns|I discussed about that time]]. The original intention of the Properties column seemed be to list maps where the given company possessed buildings; perhaps was back in the day, editors were trying to see a pattern in the front-companies. Maybe the original intent was to not list maps where it was clear that the given sign did not mark the property (See [[Talk:List of companies#Sarif Industries?|"Some companies have no properties, but appear on advertisement posters in-game or in promotional materials."]]). However, the list of "companies" naturally expanded to include companies have no in-game properties and some with no in-game signs (and some non-companies, to boot).
 
::::* It was the Sandman and the Teleporter (among others) that at the time I saw as misplaced (to my eyes) under '''Properties'''.  I think I can see your point in so much as "Telemax" indeed appears ''in-game'' on the teleporters; and "Ball Fortress" does appear ''in-game'' on the Sandman's ''ball''.
 
::::* I could possibly consider the change of the '''Properties''' column to '''Appearances''', there may be a point to doing that, given that there are now products (or brands actually) that appear more prominently in out-game media, but that could change the original intent of the column, if not the article.  There is still the problem that most signs in the game maps are not identifying locations of properties, front or otherwise.  I would rather have the column list all of the maps where the signs actually mark properties, but only list one or two maps where the same sign is "just and advertisement handing on a wall".
 
::::* Whether we make changes or not, I propose to add usage instructions for the template (yes, documentation on template usage in this wiki is notoriously absent.)
 
::::* If you don't mind, I would move the "products" back under the '''Company/Product''' column, but perhaps switch from parentheses to square brackets.
 
:::: [[User:Mikado282|Mikado282]] ([[User talk:Mikado282|talk]]) 17:16, 7 March 2015 (PST)
 
:::::All sounds good. For future reference, I encourage you to not worry too much about original intent, especially when dealing with extremely outdated templates. If the template can be repurposed, it's quite worthwhile. [[User:Darkid|<span style="color:red">Darkid</span>]] ([[User talk:Darkid|<span style="color:blue">Talk</span>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Darkid|<span style="color:grey">Contribs</span>]]) 18:10, 7 March 2015 (PST)
 
:::::: For future reference, extremely outdated templates is 20 months? ... oh, you meant the source article? OK, much of the larger notable articles of the wiki are old enough to be ''extremely'' dated?  ;)  True, given my extremely limited time for this, I like to focus on fixing errors in older articles.  ''OTOH'', it takes ''a lot'' longer fix than get right the first time.
 
:::::: IMO, [c]hanging the use of a list is no justification for not documenting the change of use; of course, I have been occasionally been accused of being pedantic. [[User:Mikado282|Mikado282]] ([[User talk:Mikado282|talk]]) 18:46, 7 March 2015 (PST)
 
::::::: I have been wanting to add more about the divisions of [[TF Industries|TFI]] to that article. Clearly it would speculation at best to claim every company with a sign is part of TFI, but every point with a spawn is a candidate. Every point defended in the Robot Wars, is Mann Co.  So, if '''Properties''' is changed to '''Appearances''', then those companies that are properties actually fought over on maps (buildings containing spawns or defended capture points) could be listed as Properties of [[TF Industries]], [[Mann Co.]], [[RED]], or [[BLU]], depending on game mode, with links to anchors added to the entries in List of companies. Much of the unmaintained lists under "Known sub-fronts ... include" were really speculation all along, IMO. But others like BLU Freight/Redstone Cargo and Blue Steel/Red Iron, Blue Corn/Red Bread, Red Shed/Blue Streak, Imperial/Regal, etc. are "real" properties, at least some following some role in [[Storyline]] or "[[Expiration Date|cannon (?)]]" Then there is the likes of Jenkin Coal Co., which the Mann brothers are just fighting around, not for.

== C.M5000 Projectile thingy ==
 
 
Hi Darkid! At the risk of sounding stupid, what program do you need to make a 3D revolving model of a weapon/projectile? In this case, it would be the projectile for the righteous bison and the cow mangler 5000. I'm quite sure the answer is somewhere on this wiki, so I'm am now increasingly paranoid that I would be yelled at for asking a stupid question, but whatever.[[User:Paintedwalls|Paintedwalls]] ([[User talk:Paintedwalls|talk]]) 21:02, 26 February 2015 (PST)

== Template title  ==
 
 
Hi. I have a question. I added true Ru translation in [https://wiki.teamfortress.com/w/?diff=1879414 template], and I think other translations also not correct. Maybe we should remove <nowiki>{{class name|}} and {{item link|}}</nowiki> from title? I think English text is better than wrong translation. <span style="font-family:TF2 Build; color:#476291">[[User:Radist|RADIST]]</span>[[File:Killicon conscientious objector.png|50px|link=User:Radist]] 04:36, 4 March 2015 (PST)
 
:Yes, I'm sure a lot of other languages order adjectives and nouns differently. I would leave in the template, because a wrong translation is comprehensible to more people than an english one. If you like, I can find out which languages switch the ordering, and code that in.

== 3D Soldier Images ==
 
 
Hey, I noticed you re-made the soldier images because Valve removed the Marketing Poses. Right now, I think the new poses are quite strange. Someone uploaded ([http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=251840820|uploaded]) a Marketing Poses pack for SFM, I suppose you can get to work somehow on HLMV/TF2. I don't use SFM, but I guess it uses .mdl files for animations too. The Scream Fortress 2013 update added the taunts from Love and War, and the guy who made the video of the unreleased taunts (back on that time) uploaded the animation files, I just don't know if they removed the Marketing Poses in this update. [[File:Gabrielwoj Signature 1.png|link=User:Gabrielwoj]] ▪ [[File:Gabrielwoj Signature 2.png|link=Special:Contribs/Gabrielwoj]] - [[File:Gabrielwoj Signature 3.png|link=User talk:Gabrielwoj]] 19:27, 17 March 2015 (PDT)
 
:So the files linked there are SFM only. I don't have disk space to install SFM, so I can't work on converting them myself. There's an additional barrier of how to recompile the soldier model. If you're willing to tackle both of these problems (I've put in a few hours, no forward progress) and can post to me a recompiled soldier model with the animation, I'll gladly redo the images.
 
:Alternately, if you've got an animation/frame you prefer, tell me. [[User:Darkid|<span style="color:red">Darkid</span>]] ([[User talk:Darkid|<span style="color:blue">Talk</span>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Darkid|<span style="color:grey">Contribs</span>]]) 19:30, 17 March 2015 (PDT)
 
::Well, I have not found anywhere the animations, the pack from the Scream Fortress 2014 and the old files I have extracted do not contain the pose. However, I got some better frames:
 
::First one: [http://i.imgur.com/NKjx0WE.png] - Simple, however, not really in a stand pose (I haven't enabled rockets bodygroup there);
 
::Second one: [http://i.imgur.com/ltSLwTa.png] - Good pose and simple.
 
::Third one: [http://i.imgur.com/wWK5RkF.png] - Better of all three, however, he is holding the Shotgun, not really his weapon specifically for him, which is the Rocket Launcher.
 
::These are my suggestions. I tried making him running, but it wasn't really appealing. My guess would be for the third one, but the problem that he is not holing his special weapon. Let me know if you want another pose suggestion.

:::All other characters hold their primary weapon (Exception: Spy - Knife, Medic - Medigun, Engineer - Wrench). I'd rather him hold the rocket launcher, the iconic weapon. Second pose has clipping, which is not visible in the class selection window but easily visible in a 3d model. You seem to have two animations loaded for the first pose, are you blending them or not?

::::I do have two animations indeed. HLMV supports various animations, for special cases such as reloading weapons. I'm not sure if the 3D Model script supports that, however.

== 3D Soldier Images - Part 2 ==
 
 
Hey Darkid, good news. I had the idea yesterday to try find an old animation mod for the Soldier, and hope there was MarketingPoses on them. And... you betcha, I've found an animation mod that includes the MarketingPoses for Soldier. The mod is called [[http://tf2.gamebanana.com/skins/download/86800 The Samurai Soldier Pack]]. I only got the animation files on this pack in order to work. Here is a preview: [[http://i.imgur.com/fpxY6Sr.png]]. If needed, I may try finding a Demoman pack and Heavy pack (Scout had an Marketing Pose too), but I don't think we need from these other classes right now.

== Healing Table Fix ==
 
 
My apologies to bother you, but the table used on the [[Healing]] seems to be incorrect in a minor way; the overhealing amount for the Dalokohs Bar + Quick-Fix is 425, not the 450 that the table displays (this is from some play testing I've been doing on various servers with a friend; it's a surprisingly effective combo). From my understanding, the table is of your creation, and far beyond my level of understanding to be able to fix it, so if it would be possible to do so, it would be appreciated if you could fix it for me (as well as anyone else who would want to know such information as well). Thank you, both for your time and your cooperation on the matter.

:Hmm, that's a very odd number to have. You're sure there's no warrior's spirit equipped? Regardless, I've updated the table. See if you can understand the change I made.

::No, I double checked today, seems the quick-fix has set overheal values for each and just adds them to whatever the max health is for the class. Unusual, and kind of exploit-like, but interesting.[[User:Kajoman|Kajoman]] ([[User talk:Kajoman|talk]]) 18:15, 22 June 2015 (PDT)

== Limited tag for backpack items in Polish ==
 
 
Hey, I made this edit some time ago, and I remember having a lot of issues with figuring out how to edit that template so that it would show correctly. I decided to put a simple space in the template and just manually edit items that have "Limited" tag to include it (unfortunately, I still haven't edited all of them).

:::::Sure, so it starts with a {{tl|Tabs}}, which switches between pages. This needs to default to the page you're on, so I use a <nowiki>{{#switch:{{FULLPAGENAME}}}}</nowiki>. Next, you need to transclude each page's content into the template. I also took the liberty of adding in a new [edit] and [purge] button, since the ones on the top won't work properly. Finally, you need to edit each page that you're transcluding into Tabs to transclude Tabs. It's important not to duplicate the content, so you're going to want to use a <nowiki><noinclude> and <includeonly></nowiki> to set that up. People also complained about my talk page not being fast to edit, so I ended up doing something a bit more custom (with a fake tabs header), so that it wouldn't aggravate people. I don't know, it's possible that bug has been fixed by mw upgrades.

I think i know how to do it but it doesnt work so far and i dont know if i did something wrong or it will update. so i here https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Template:Dictionary/quad#All-class_items edited Battery Canteen (just one item from Unlocked Cosmetic Crates to see if it works) i made this [http://wiki.tf/d/2174340 here] but so far Battery Canteen Page hasnt changed at all so i dont know if i should edit rest items for Unlocked crates or should wait to see if it will work.
 
Or i should declare somewhere else 'unlocked cosmetic crate'

Heya, just wanted to let you know that your "nowiki" edit on the Team Fortress Wiki:3D Models page accidentally turned the entire bottom of the page into code.

== Linux dedicated server ==
 
 
Hi! :)
 
 
I saw you removed my link to https://gameservermanagers.com/lgsm/tf2server/ from the [[Linux_dedicated_server]] article.
 
 
Could we still incorporate that into the article somehow? If I would've found this tool earlier, it would've saved me so much time! I found it through here: https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SteamCMD#Linux_Game_Server_Managers
 
 
You want proof of the time I could've saved? I'm the person who added most of the Troubleshooting section on 3 September 2012: https://wiki.teamfortress.com/w/index.php?title=Linux_dedicated_server&offset=20121012093848&limit=20&action=history :D
 
 
Also, most of that section seems to be pretty out of date by now.
 
 
Cheers,

:I'm not trying to suggest the site is bad, nor that it isn't a faster way to do this. However, the TF2 wiki has a pretty strict [[TFW:Policies#Community_websites|policy about community content]], so what is basically an ad for a third party site is not ok.

What I am really struggling with is trying to convert a demo to Replay. TidB gave be a link to an old youtube ( TF2 Demo to Replay) that hasn't worked for me yet.  I just saw a tool "Replayer", but I am out of time to try anything else this week.

:Please try to keep the discussion in one place; if we do find something, how is someone going to know to check my talk page to find the rest of the conversation?
 
:AFAIK "replays" are an internal demo format, recording a demo isn't the same thing. It is possible to upload a video to youtube then create a replay which points to that youtube video, though I don't recall exactly how.

:: "''Please try to keep the discussion in one place;''" I considered the conversion of Demo to Replay to be a separate discussion subject from the discussion of the update of the ''Recording demos'' article, otherwise I wouldn't have asked you about it on your talk page. But rereading my last post to the other, I can see I was hinting in that direction. If you think it would be practical to open that as another topic on Help talk:Recording demos then I could do that.

== Invasion Cases, Winter 2016 Case, and Case Bonus Drops ==
 
 
While updating the [[Unusualifier]] page I happened to notice that the [[Mann Co. Supply Crate/Retired series#Confidential Collection Case|Confidential Collection Case]] is currently listed as #96 and the [[Mann Co. Supply Crate/Retired series#Quarantined Collection Case|Quarantined Collection Case]] as #97. However every other site has these around the opposite direction, for example, bp.tf: [https://backpack.tf/stats/Unique/Quarantined%20Collection%20Case/Tradable/Craftable/96 Quarantined #96] and [https://backpack.tf/stats/Unique/Confidential%20Collection%20Case/Tradable/Craftable/97 Confidential #97].
 
 
Also during the Jungle Inferno Update the Unlocked Winter 2016 Case was changed from Seriesless to #105.
 
 
The [[Module:Availability|Availably Module]] might need some updates in regards to these, which leads back to [[Unusualifier]]. Given the recent addition of the Case Global Bonus Drop system a whole bunch of tools are now available from 17 different cases (and presumably more in the future), perhaps some method of dealing with these more effectively is now needed? - [[User:Tasty Salamanders|Tasty Salamanders]] ([[User talk:Tasty Salamanders|talk]]) 08:55, 4 November 2017 (PDT)
 
:The former does not change anything with availability, just be sure to update the <code>avail</code> parameter in the infobox. I don't think the latter has any effect either. If you need a link (from availability) updated, please give me a more concrete example [[User:Darkid|'''<span style="color: #db9c1f">Darkid</span>''']] « [[User talk:Darkid|<span style="color: #75735F">Talk</span>]] — [[Special:Contributions/Darkid|<span style="color: #BA0000">Contribs</span>]] » 11:49, 4 November 2017 (PDT)
 
::I updated all the stuff related to the Invasion Cases. However the Unlocked Winter 2016 Case still probably needs the Avail Module update, currently it links to [[Mann Co. Supply Crate/Seriesless crates#Unlocked Winter 2016 Cosmetic Case]] when it should link to [[Mann Co. Supply Crate/Active series#105]]. Also shouldn't it be standardised from it's current appearance to [[Mann Co. Supply Crate/Active series#105|Uncrate #105]] like other crate series?

== Rotating 3D image script ==
 
 
The python script used for making 3D images is broken, the models don't rotate in HLMV, most likely due to the offsets being changed again? Anyhow, would be nice if you could take a look at it.

== Templates broke. ==
 
 
Hello,  I was wondering if you fix the List of Maps and List of Gamemodes templates. They currently cannot sort by date, due to the YMD format being YYYY-MM-DD instead of YYMMDD.

:Actually, it's not a bug with the sort key, it's because the sorting method we're using is a legacy method, and since some time ago it requires specifying a sort-type. I've updated the tables with `data-sort-type="text"`, which seems to have fixed it.
 
:I didn't see a list of game modes template, but you should be able to fix it (see my edit to {{tl|List of Maps}})
 
:While you're at it, can you add a release date for cp_cloak? It's probably launch, but it would be good to confirm.

== Canadian Dollars in Buy Now Template ==
 
 
Hey there, I know you're busy working on the backpack item module; but when you have the time, could you investigate why the [[Template:Buy now|Buy Now template]] refuses to accept Canadian dollars? I defined them next to USD and before GBP in the [[Template:Price format|Price Format template]], and that seems to have taken it well; plus, Canadian prices are already defined in the [[Template:Dictionary/price|master Price area]] under "cad", but I can't for the life of me get the Buy Now template to display anything but an extra slash next to USD when I tried to edit it before. I feel like we should have Canadian prices for the store if we can; Canada is basically the only English-speaking country to not currently be used in the price listings under the English string, and the [[Steam Wallet]] edits I did seem to have accepted CAD$ as a shorthand, so I'm not sure what's going on there. -[[User:ThatHatGuy|ThatHatGuy]] ([[User talk:ThatHatGuy|talk]]) 05:32, 30 April 2019 (UTC)
 
 
== Thanks for your suggestions ==
 
 
Greetings, Darkid. At first I should express my gratitude to you, as you provide many suggestions to me in the STS translation review.
 
 
I have repeatedly checked the logs to have a more complete understanding of the room where I and other Chinese translators can improve.
 
 
The following are some of my problems (from both IRC sublog and STS) and how I regard of them, not excuses.
 
 
*mixing punctuations
 
 
I used to found this problem as well and I updated all pages I had created (for example, change "." to "。"). However, because we usually copy the contents from original pages and sometimes directly edit on them, we may miss some punctuations. But I promise other Chinese translators and I will pay more attention on this.
 
 
*bunch of small edits
 
 
I must admit it's a problem I will notice every Chinese new translator (and I did) but I do worse than some of them, and I will keep your advice in mind. And personnally, I sometimes do small edits to improve consistency between similar (or same) contents, and sometimes I am just not confident with the translation I made months or days ago.
 
 
* mistakes
 
 
For "disguised" and "undisguised" , I should say sorry to those who have read this page, but I promise it wouldn't be a common mistake of mine.
 
 
For achivement translation, the names were added to template by former translators and I should have checked it more carefully.
 
 
* to much "br"
 
 
I decided to do this because I think it would improve reading experience, and I will remove them if they shouldn't be.
 
 
 
I didn't share the logs with other Chinese editors but have picked some important information to provide them some experience. And here are 2 questions from them which I cannot answer.
 
* Someone asked if the sentence "Is the wiki a better place because of what this person did?" means one can't get a wiki cap by merely doing translation work.
 
* Someone asked me where and how to join discussions, and I told him one cannot really join a discussion with a purpose not related to the topic, and I am not good at communication either. <br />
 
In fact, sometimes I do want to join a discussion, but I doubted myself "Will my advice be helpful in a filed I know little?" However, I did enjoy my talks with some users, like [[User:TidB|TidB]], [[User:GrampaSwood|Swood]] and [[User:VasyaTheWizard|VasyaTheAngel]], they helped me a lot.
 
 
 
At last, many thanks for spending time reading this message, and I hope it wound't be something offensive to leave so much information on your talk page.  [[File:User Dereko Name.png|75px|link=User:Dereko]] 04:01, 24 September 2019 (UTC)

:With regards to the points about the actual review, I would say translations make the wiki a better place. Mistranslations do not; that was my point -- I was not trying to discourage you from translating.

== Team Color Infobox for Community MVM Tour Medals ==
 +
 +
Community MVM tours are beginning to utilize custom painted medals with team colors. The default item infobox doesn't flow well on a page describing an entire campaign rather than a single item, however; so what I would like to have happen is to extract the team color section of the item infobox, exactly the way it currently is, and have it be a separate template I could use in the Rewards section of operation pages, to showcase custom team colors on their own.
 +
 +
As per your instruction, I've began a [[User:ThatHatGuy/Sandbox2#Rewards|sandbox page]] as a rough idea of what I want: I'd like for this infobox to retain the team color functionality it has at the moment, but remove the need for a header image, and all the things from Basic Information down. When it's finished, I would like it to begin with RED and BLU headers, and showcase the team color images alone, sort of [https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/634504182073655328/1030335392483901541/finished_infobox.png like this,] and of course, continuing down to showcase them all.
 +
 +
Team color images already exist for these medals, as partially used in the example, as well as all existing medals that utilize custom team colors so far. They can be easily redirected to suit the team color infobox. That part isn't a problem; I just need the template, and I can take things from there. — [[File:User ThatHatGuy Signature Icon.png|30px|link=User:ThatHatGuy]] [[File:User ThatHatGuy Signature Talk.png|30px|link=User talk:ThatHatGuy]] [[File:User ThatHatGuy Signature Contribs.png|30px|link=Special:Contributions/ThatHatGuy]] 04:28, 14 October 2022 (UTC)

== Random Tark question ==
 +
<pre>
 +
heya!
 +
I have a few queries regarding {{Item infobox}} that are a bit too advanced for me to handle. I was wondering if you could spare some time to assist me with thisthe requests are essentially aimed at reducing the amount of manually added text by translators to prevent pages from becoming outdated. I recently added "released-major" (under /sandbox) to automatically translate and format the "released" information ("{{Patch name|9|30|2010}}<br>([[Mann-Conomy Update]])") - defaults to "released" if not set, so it shound't break existing pagesbut there are a few issues that I haven't been able to resolve yet: specifically, the "used-by" section would benefit from a template that automatically generates the class list, similar to how {{avail}} functions
 +
 +
oh yeah, I have added most game attributes to Template:Dictionary/attributes, but I'm not sure if there is a better way to incorporate this into the infobox itself (that is, without having to include multiple {{attribute|token}} in the att-*/item-flag fields)
 +
</pre>

: Hello, Tark helped me with it and I've already added the changes to the main template, the only "issue" I have are the categories, for example [[:Template:Item infobox/Fireproof Secret Diary|this page]], now in a page like "Fireproof Secret Diary/infobox" which is a subpage, is there a way to hide the categories or includeonly is the only way? I think its better to have the infobox shown instead of hidden. There's also a [[Team Fortress Wiki:Discussion|discussion]] if it helps. Thanks!

== Translation table troubles ==
 +
 +
Hello Darkid, this is a special request. I have already discussed this with Mikado and [[User_talk:GrampaSwood#Translation_progress_poisoning|Swood]]. The issue was that the [[Team_Fortress_Wiki:Translation_progress|Translation progress table]] seems to track some pages that could be subtracted as they simply cannot be touched by localization teams; some pages affect the listed categories but also the overall progress bar; there should be a way to ignore these, so the main function of the table can truly shine. One very good example is, {{code|[[WebAPI]]}} which is an untranslatable page; categories are also affected {{code|Category:Lists to be expanded}} or {{code|Category:Custom maps unreleased stubs/lang}}. It could be nice to have a whitelist we can all work on; comparing categories together could be an added perk, but I already personally do this manually using software. Let me know your thoughts!<br><span style="background:#393939;padding:2px 12px;font-family: TF2 Build;font-size: 1em;border-radius: 10px 10px 10px 10px;">[[User:Luno|Luno]] <span style="color:#FC0;letter-spacing:-2px">🪐🌕</span> [[User talk:Luno|<span style="color:#fff">Talk</span>]] <span style="color:#559655;letter-spacing:-2px">/</span> [[Special:Contributions/Luno|<span style="color:#fff">Contributions</span>]] <span style="color:#538AC5;letter-spacing:-2px">/</span> [[Team_Fortress_Wiki:Translation_progress/fr|<span style="color:#4d748b">T</span><span style="color:#fff">ea</span><span style="color:#ab4848">m</span>]]</span> 20:35, 26 August 2023 (UTC)

:::Damn, you were quick on the draw. Well, there are still a lot of exclusions to add.

::::There isn't a really good way to list the allowed/prevented pages beyond just editing the template, although I guess you could copy/paste that info somewhere if you need it.

:::::Would it be possible to include a HLMV++ variant too? HLMV++ and HLMV should be identical when it comes to rotations, the only issue would be that a setting needs to be turned off before making these images called "Aspect correction" (but that should not be hard to do manually).

::::::HLMV++ has different camera zoom ins and zoom outs (think like... regular HLMV zooms at 1 intervals, while ++ does at 0.5 intervals), though I think that rotating the model should be the same. If anything, both results should be compared before making a release stating they both work the same, just to be safe. Edit: The Aspect Correction thing shouldn't be necessary, if anything, it can simply be disabled before running the script, as you still have to manually load the model before running it. I use an older version of HLMV++ that doesn't has that, and I feel like script could break trying to disable something it doesn't exist.

== Help with Template ==
 +
 +
Hello. Could you help me with something related to the [[Template:Painted variants]]? I'd like if there was a new parameter called {{code|override-title}}. Using this parameter would add a title in the same vein when {{code|default<nowiki>=</nowiki>}} or {{code|style<nowiki>=</nowiki>}} parameters are used (I'm talking about [[Medical Monarch|the "Style 1" that appears above "Single colors" and below "Painted variants - Style 1"]]). Additionally, if {{code|default<nowiki>=</nowiki>}} or {{code|style<nowiki>=</nowiki>}} is used in conjunction with {{code|override-title}}, whatever is put with {{code|override-title<nowiki>=</nowiki>}} will replace whatever value was put into either {{code|default<nowiki>=</nowiki>}} or {{code|style<nowiki>=</nowiki>}}. Lastly, the text for {{code|override-title<nowiki>=</nowiki>}} wouldn't be linked to the <nowiki>{{item name}}</nowiki>, as the idea is to put any title on it, however, it should still be possible to use <nowiki>{{item name}}</nowiki> when using a name on the dictionary.
 +
 +
I'd like to use this parameter for the [[Gibus]] pages (not the [[Galvanized Gibus]] page), by including each of the styles as tabs on the Painted Variants table. The idea is to add these paint variants using {{code|override<nowiki>=</nowiki>}} with the name of the other styles, so there's no need to re-upload them or make a huge amount of redundant redirects. However, doing so currently causes no text to be visible on top (the text between "Single colors" and "Painted variants -..." does not show up), because I am unable to use {{code|style<nowiki>=</nowiki>}}, doing so causes the filename to be different, therefore the images does not show on the table. [[User:Gabrielwoj/Sandbox|Feel free to use this code for testing]], though you'll have to move it to [[Ghastlierest Gibus]] page and Show Preview for a better, well, preview. Once the parameter is added, I will add the tabs to that page, the other Gibus pages, and the rest of the languages as well. Thanks!

::It would be the letter "C". Here's some screenshots to help you. Right now, the pages look like this: [https://imgur.com/a/43eplWu https://imgur.com/a/43eplWu]. The idea would it to be look like this instead, please see this mock-up: [https://imgur.com/a/lJ0ynUw https://imgur.com/a/lJ0ynUw]. Just to keep things clear. The reason I'm not using "style=" on the second album is because, if I do, the filenames change, and the images don't show up. Someone suggested me just using redirects instead, but that would be approximately 111 pages worth of redirects. I think it's a bit redundant doing so, and I would say the override-title method would be much more ideal. Thank you!

Hi! I'm A22, Inkipedia ES bureaucrat, and Inkipedia and Animal Crossing Enciclopedia (wiki in Spanish) interface staff.<br>

I'm contacting you to ask if you can give the green light for [https://animalcrossing.wikidex.net/wiki/Portada Animal Crossing Enciclopedia] to use the 3D module you have available on your wiki, as happened with Inkipedia in [https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/User_talk:Darkid#3D_viewer an earlier discussion].<br>
 +
I would also like to know if in the future it is necessary to contact you every time a wiki wants to add your 3D module to their wiki (if so, it would not be necessary to contact you every time a wiki wants to add it).<br>

== Some requests regarding 3D models ==
 +
 +
I believe I requested this in IRC before, but forgot to put this on your userpage. I wouldn't consider it a very high priority thing, but [[vdc:Half-Life Asset Manager|Half-Life Asset Manager]] is a program similar to HLMV but to run GoldSrc models (TFC's engine). I tried to open up GoldSrc models in HLMV, but it either crashes the program or simply gives an error with the model, so I suspect regular HLMV can't open these models.
 +
 +
With that, I'd like to request you to look into making the 3D models script compatible with HLAM. Like I said, I imagine this would be very low priority but I'd like to get 3D views for those out at some point. Related to 3D views, do you think that they could be added to {{tl|Hazard infobox}} and {{tl|Pickup infobox}}? And perhaps the creation of a standalone 3D viewer that's similar to {{tl|Team colors infobox}} (i.e. just the buttons and viewer, as if taken straight from the infobox. It would mainly be used on building pages because they have no infobox)?
 +
 +
These are quite a few requests, but I think I could manage the last few ones if you could leave a small explanation of how to implement 3D views into infoboxes.<br>[[File:BLU Wiki Cap.png|20px|link=List of Wiki Cap owners]] {{!}} [[Help:Group rights|<span style="color:green;font-family:TF2 Build;">s</span>]] {{!}} [[User:GrampaSwood|<font color="DB9C1F">GrampaSwood</font>]] [[File:PraisetheSun.png|20px|alt=Praise the Sun!]] ([[User talk:GrampaSwood|<font color="DB9C1F">talk</font>]]) ([[Special:Contributions/GrampaSwood|<font color="DB9C1F">contribs</font>]]) 00:08, 18 February 2024 (UTC)

:HLAM is on my backlog (though likely not any time soon). The standalone 3D viewer should just be at [[Module:3D viewer advanced]], you can just treat it like it's any other sub-template.

Hi there,
 +
 +
I would like to request a quick check to see if the edits I made to the [[Template:Patch name/sandbox|Patch name's sandbox]] would mess up anything currently on the Wiki. The main changes here are to add the "(Major update)" bit to the template, as well as the "[Patch] #1" bit. For pt-br and pt, this is at the start of the template and not the end, as well as requiring the "in-the" parameter at all times. These should all be added now, the only thing I want is to add some comments for translators and make the language switches more readable for them.<br>[[File:BLU Wiki Cap.png|20px|link=List of Wiki Cap owners]] {{!}} [[Help:Group rights|<span style="color:green;font-family:TF2 Build;">s</span>]] {{!}} [[User:GrampaSwood|<font color="DB9C1F">GrampaSwood</font>]] [[File:PraisetheSun.png|20px|alt=Praise the Sun!]] ([[User talk:GrampaSwood|<font color="DB9C1F">talk</font>]]) ([[Special:Contributions/GrampaSwood|<font color="DB9C1F">contribs</font>]]) 13:44, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

== Linking to a category in a template ==
 +
 +
I'm updating {{tl|Update trans}} to support all non-main namespaces instead of just templates (mainly for usage on Categories). I started on {{tl|Update trans/sandbox}} but so far, I can't get the categories to link properly. Adding ":" on its own makes it behave like an indent and adds a <nowiki><br></nowiki>. Adding it with nowiki tags results in <nowiki>[[:Category:categoryname]]</nowiki>. I even tried using a separate template similar to {{tl|!}} but it didn't work either. Any ideas on what I could use?<br>[[File:BLU Wiki Cap.png|20px|link=List of Wiki Cap owners]] {{!}} [[Help:Group rights|<span style="color:green;font-family:TF2 Build;">s</span>]] {{!}} [[User:GrampaSwood|<font color="DB9C1F">GrampaSwood</font>]] [[File:PraisetheSun.png|20px|alt=Praise the Sun!]] ([[User talk:GrampaSwood|<font color="DB9C1F">talk</font>]]) ([[Special:Contributions/GrampaSwood|<font color="DB9C1F">contribs</font>]]) 19:47, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

Script for finding projectile speeds.

On Template:List of projectiles, at the bottom of the page, a "script to find correct values" is mentioned. It appears that there was meant to be a link, but there is not one. I ask you, Darkid, because it was your edit (in May of 2016) that added this line. Do you still have a link to this script? Stack man (talk) 06:19, 3 May 2020 (UTC)

Sorry about that! I suspect it got removed by the spam filter. Here's the link: [1]. I've also added it to the page. Darkid « TalkContribs » 07:41, 3 May 2020 (UTC)

New availabilities

Hey. Could you please add new availabilities in Template:Availability for Pile Of Curses, and Crafting (expired)? It's for items received from it. User Denied signature.jpg Denied (Talk) 17:16, 21 May 2020 (UTC)

Ah, I see. That's currently just directly using {{Tooltip}}, and you want it in the module?
It looks like there's a common string which is similar to this, distributed-expired. (See Template:Dictionary/common strings/distributed-expired).
Do you think it'll be sufficient to change all the prefixes there to [[Crafting{{if lang}}|{{common string|crafting}}]]?
Darkid « TalkContribs » 01:26, 22 May 2020 (UTC)
pile-of-curses redirecting to Pile Of Curses and crafting-expired redirecting to Crafting + this tooltip added next to it like it looks like in distributed-expired.
Done. Darkid « TalkContribs » 06:36, 22 May 2020 (UTC)
Thanks. Could you only please change word "Crafting" to "Craft" for consistency? craft-expired and Craft. The preceding unsigned comment was added by Denied (talk) • (contribs)

Well, I fixed up the template, but I don't think this looks quite correct: [2]. When the ingredient is not part of a set, the name is wrong. Darkid « TalkContribs » 06:08, 4 June 2020 (UTC)

3D viewer

Hello, I've been trying to reach you whether on steam (Overlord S7) or through e-mail but to no avail. I'm an admin in Inkipedia, a wiki about Splatoon (shooters game from Nintendo) and I'm interested to know about the 3D viewer and if I can try to implement a simpler implementation of the 3D viewer to our infoboxes. I saw that you maintained the module so I thought to ask for advice on how to implement it. I'd be happy if you could chat with me through e-mail or discord (Shahar#3810). Thank you! Shahar (talk) 11:41, 29 April 2021 (UTC)

Hey, sorry about that -- I get a lot of adds on steam, so someone with 0 rank and a private profile is usually a spammer :)
The core of the implementation is actually dead simple. If you take a look at, e.g. Scattergun, and use "inspect" (should be available in most major browsers), you'll see this:

<div class="viewer-3d-frame" data-id="0" style="height: 152px; background: url("https://wiki.teamfortress.com/w/images/b/bd/Scattergun_3D.jpg?20180821160906") -11807px 0px no-repeat; left: 25px; top: 64px; width: 197px;"></div>

First and foremost, take a look at the image here: File:Scattergun_3D.jpg. It's actually quite a wide image, containing all of the possible rotations.
Second, take a look at the styling: style="height: 152px; background: url(...) -11807px 0px no-repeat; ..."
All that's happening here is that the image is being shifted and cropped. Essentially, the "3D" image is just a bunch of 2d images all next to each other, and the "3D viewer" is just changing the offset into the main image.
If you look at the contents of Scattergun_3D.jpg, you can see a large list called "map" as the template argument. This is where the actual offsets are stored.
I don't know too much more about the intricacies of the template, but the code to generate the file is here -- though it uses HLMV, sorry, you'll need to hack at it to use a different viewer.
Darkid « TalkContribs » 09:14, 30 April 2021 (UTC)
Hey, thanks for helping me out. I got all the modules, templates, JS and CSS changes to display the 3D viewer with the Minigun (It was similar in design to the Splatlings so I thought it was a good example). I also got one of the Splatoon models into HLMV with partial texture. What I'm stuck at is that I can't get the script to work. I've tried to follow Team Fortress Wiki:3D Models but with no success. Shahar (talk) 14:21, 7 May 2021 (UTC)
Well, as I mentioned, the code was written specifically for HLMV, a valve-based model viewer. If you want it to work with Splatoon, you'll need to change the code which interops with HLMV to talk to your program instead. You'll need to be able to change the weapon's rotation, translation, and the scene background color (to compute transparency).
I can't really help you with the specifics there, since it's going to depend on the model viewing options available to you.
Darkid « TalkContribs » 15:30, 8 May 2021 (UTC)
Hey, I got the script to work but the model doesn't rotate. [Image]. I'm currently on Python 2.7, packages from python 2 and I ran the command setup.py so that wikitools will recognize parts of itself such as wiki, api, page, etc... I'm also worried about getting the offsets for the images without uploading it to TF2 wiki cause Inkipedia doesn't currently have API. Shahar (talk) 18:34, 18 May 2021 (UTC)
I fixed the rotation issue, new version is up on Github. If inkpedia doesn't have an API, you can always just upload it to your sandbox page (User:Shahar/Sandbox). Darkid « TalkContribs » 13:37, 20 May 2021 (UTC)
Hey, I'm trying to excecute the code but it says that "mem.exe" is not compatible with 64-bits versions of Windows. Could you resolve that? · Ashe (talk) 16:16, 20 May 2021 (UTC)
Can you give me the exact error message? Ideally, the entire terminal window (and your system information). I'm not sure why this is happening, since my computer is 64-bit. Darkid « TalkContribs » 16:22, 20 May 2021 (UTC)
This. It's in spanish but it says something like "16-bits app incompatible ... Cannot start or run due to incompatibility with 64-bit versions of Windows". My specs are Windows 10 Pro 64 bits, 16 GB RAM, AMD Ryzen 5 3600.

────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────The error is "Unsupported 16-Bit Application", and it seems to be a remnant of mingw. I've tried recompiling with g++ instead of gcc -- if that doesn't work I'll need to port the exe to a real compiler, which will take some time. Darkid « TalkContribs » 16:38, 20 May 2021 (UTC)

Template:Item infobox/Sandbox Requested Addition

Hi,

I'm currently prototyping some things on the item infobox sandbox page for use on an experimental page. Essentially, I'd like for it to generate 3D viewer-like buttons that allow you to preview wears on an item if the item type is war paint or warpaint.

It would be great if you could help with this, because I have no idea of how to go about that and don't want to break anything. Thanks. ~ Boba 21:16, 28 October 2021 (UTC)

I don't really have any bandwidth to help develop templates on the wiki. I'm can help debug things if they mostly work, and I'm happy to double-check your work, but I can only offer advice right now.
For example, the 3D viewer uses custom javascript to make the tab switching work (see MediaWiki:Common.js). The main trick would be to support this ask with the least amount of additional javascript, and the least amount of new, complex modules.

/en

Why does your bot create a list of articles with the prefix /en, if all articles are written without it? Far (talk) 08:12, 13 December 2021 (UTC)

Can you be more specific? It's possible that there is a bug with one of the reports, I did have to make some updates to the scripts to get them working again.
Which report seems to be misbehaving, and how would you expect it to behave? Darkid « TalkContribs » 12:20, 13 December 2021 (UTC)
In the general list of English articles, your bot writes them with the prefix /en. You can see this for yourself by going to Team Fortress Wiki:Reports/All articles/en.Far (talk) 16:21, 13 December 2021 (UTC)
I'm not sure what you mean, when I go to Team Fortress Wiki:Reports/All articles/en I don't see any links which say "/en". The page title says "/en", and I can change that if you want, but the article list itself seems correct.

"HLMV - Missing Folders Fix" pack has been updated.

Hi. I don't know if you have any plans in using it, but just letting you know that I updated the pack with the latest patch (January 5, 2022 Patch). It was missing several folders from items from latest "major" updates, such as Halloween, Summer and Smissmas updates. Before sending this post, I tried loading some of the new items on HLMV, and none of them had any problems loading (no errors trying to find the directory). Because of the new link structure I have set on Help:HLMV, I don't need to edit the page again everytime I update the pack fix, as the link will directly go to the latest revision on my GitHub repository.

Template:QuAD/list

Hello darkid! I don't really understand the template that well but I was trying to add "Halloween Package" and "Halloween Transmute" to the list, and there is a problem. In Template:Dictionary/quad, you can only use "=special" parameter once, and there are actually some items that have two for some reason. For example the Boston Boom-Bringer, this is what happens, only "Unlocked Cosmetic Crate".

There is another problem with the Scream Fortress 2014 items, which already use "scream fortress vi" (Unlocked Creepy Crate + Halloween Gift Cauldron), and would require more "special" parameters (like special2 , special3, special4, etc). Example for the Nugget Noggin cosmetic: unique: {{quad/list|store=y|special=scream fortress vi|special=transmute|special=halloween package}}

I was thinking to add like a "special2" parameter at first, but I saw this edit on the history and as you said: "it would force quad to have ordering, which leads to user errors.". So, is there another way to add more "special" parameters? Thanks! Mgpt (talk) 23:58, 4 February 2022 (UTC)

I'm not honestly sure why we use special over just adding parameters to the top-level list. Feel free to sandbox your changes and I can take a look before you push them.
Darkid « TalkContribs » 00:43, 5 February 2022 (UTC)
This edit is similiar of what I was trying to do, then I saw your comment and well... it won't work I guess D: Mgpt (talk) 00:58, 5 February 2022 (UTC)
So, I was picturing you could just add another parameter like {{{unlock}}} or {{{promo}}}. That way you wouldn't need a special2, you'd just put something like {{QuAD/list|craft=y|drop=y|halloween-package=y}}. Special was originally for dynamic strings which needed a dictionary lookup -- that has become very muddied.
Originally, it was this:
{{#switch:{{{special|}}}
|unusual={{dictionary/items/mann co. supply crate}}
|botkiller weapons|dueling minigame|pile of ash|pile of curses|polycount pack|quakecon bundle|strange bacon grease={{dictionary/items/{{{special}}}
|#default={{dictionary/common strings/{{{special}}}}}
}}}}
Anyways, I think we can just add top-level parameters, but I'm not 100% sure and so it would be good if you could sandbox that before changing everything.

Hello darkid, I added the template to my User:Mgpt/sandbox. Could you check what I need to add? (you can edit the page if you want) Thanks :D Mgpt (talk) 02:45, 11 February 2022 (UTC)
  1. Traditionally, we test out templates on a sandbox page relative to the template, i.e. Template:QuAD/list/Sandbox.
  2. There, you can add whatever you want to change to try and make your scenario work.
  3. Then, you should test out your changes, e.g. go to one of your sandbox pages (User:Mgpt/sandbox) and try using the template as you would in the dictionary, to see what it looks like. Here, you'll invoke the sandboxed template, e.g. {{QuAD/list/Sandbox|craft=y|drop=y|my-new-parameter=y}}
  4. Make changes to the sandboxed template until your sandbox looks like what you want.
  5. If you feel confident in your changes at this point, update the main template. If not, ask me for a review.

Hi! I made some changes - Template:QuAD/list, I also changed the order to match with the availability text in cosmetic pages. Is it okay? Thanks. Mgpt (talk) 02:42, 5 March 2022 (UTC)
Seems fine, just try to avoid making so many changes in the future, it causes wiki lag. Also, watch out for using (), other languages have different parenthesis (notably japanese and chinese). Darkid « TalkContribs » 05:16, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
19:08 <Mgpt> hello Darkid! With my latest edits I added the missing cases to the Quad template and added the Quad/series template, It works, at least for me. Could you take a look at it?
19:11 <Mgpt> [[Template:QuAD/list/Sandbox]]
19:11 <@Spacenet> Template:QuAD/list/Sandbox: https://wiki.tf/Template:QuAD/list/Sandbox

19:11 <Mgpt> [[Template:QuAD/series]]

I can look again but not this weekend Darkid « TalkContribs » 03:04, 19 March 2022 (UTC)
  1. {{QuAD/series}} should be a dictionary string. There's no reason to make a separate template for it.
  2. I would recommend keeping the direct dictionary invocations ({{dictionary/items/name tag}}) for performance reasons.
  3. Be careful with strings like {{item name|Select Reserve Mann Co. Supply Crate}} {{QuAD/series|60}}. Not every language will want the words in this order. You may consider making the QuAD/series string take a second parameter, e.g. {{QuAD/series|60|Select Reserve Mann Co. Supply Crate}}, so that each language can customize the order if needed.
  4. I would recommend putting the "Series 60" text in parenthesis. Compare:
Select Reserve Mann Co. Supply Crate Series 60
Select Reserve Mann Co. Supply Crate (Series 60)
5.Can you please put in some noinclude section headers to make future editing easier? Ala the dictionary:
-->{{#if:{{{crate5|}}}|{{!}}{{item name|Mann Co. Supply Crate}} {{QuAD/series|{{{crate5}}}}}}}<!--
-->{{#if:{{{crate6|}}}|{{!}}{{item name|Mann Co. Supply Crate}} {{QuAD/series|{{{crate6}}}}}}}<!--
-->{{#if:{{{crate7|}}}|{{!}}{{item name|Mann Co. Supply Crate}} {{QuAD/series|{{{crate7}}}}}}}<noinclude>
## Crate series
</noinclude>{{#if:{{{series6|}}}|{{!}}{{item name|Festive Winter Crate}}}}<!--
-->{{#if:{{{series22|}}}|{{!}}{{item name|Refreshing Summer Cooler}}}}<!--

Hello, I created the string and added it to the template, could you check? About adding the parenthesis, the official name is Mann Co. Supply Crate Series #123 so I think we should keep how it is. Thank you for all the help :D Mgpt (talk) 02:21, 14 April 2022 (UTC)
The template looks reasonable, I would just remove the 1= and 2= and just write Template:Dictionary/common strings/crate-series
I agree with your point about (4), feel free to leave out the parenthesis.
Also, it looks like my suggestion for (5) doesn't work, so you can take those back out again. Sorry :/
Darkid « TalkContribs » 04:13, 14 April 2022 (UTC)
I removed them and added the new string to the crate parameters, Edit 1 Edit 2. Everything seems to work :D I also removed the "lc" from gift parameter (not needed right?) and replaced default "case" with {{ns:0}} Mgpt (talk) 02:03, 15 April 2022 (UTC)
{{lc:}} was being used because of a direct dictionary call. I've reinstated those calls where it makes sense, although it does make the template less readable. Once you've deployed the changes we can reevaluate the template cost (for things like the hat avail table).
Overall, looks good to me. If you have the time, can you also investigate why two of the qualities are causing template redlinks?
{{common string|winter 2016 cosmetic crate}} and {{common string|bioshock infinite season pass}} are somewhere in the quad dictionary, but the strings don't exist anymore.

Style Guide/ru

Hi there! I've noticed that you moved the russian translations for the FAQ and Wiki Cap guidelines under the main namespace back in April.

I was recently approached by a /ru member, who told me that translations of this kind were removed a few years ago, in compliance with some unbeknown-to-me decision.

By any chance, as of now, can the localized version of the Style guide be moved back in as well?

Untranslated Templates Specification Possibility?

Hi there, you(r bot) created this list: 368 templates missing German translation ;; this is nice, but it isn't as helpful for me as at seems. ; f.e. Template:Backpack item has 35928 uses and is missing 1 translation <- i cant find the specific place where the translation is missing, cause these templates are complex and big and if i scroll through them i can easily miss it. Since your bot knows there is something missing can't it mark the general/specific area and make a note in the untranslated template report? This would help every language a lot and make the templates very accurate and complete very fast. Thanks for any feedback. Magicalpony (talk) 14:20, 23 July 2022 (UTC)

Broken weapon preview template?

It seems like the template for the weapon previews on pages appears to be broken.

Like the 2D images are supposed to have both RED and BLU variants that you can toggle, but for some reason it only shows the RED image, causing the BLU images to go completely unused.

If you could look into this and hopefully fix it, that'd be pretty swell of you

3D Models Script

Hi. I'm posting this to your Talkpage so you probably will get notified on your e-mail or something. I recently made this topic on the 3D Models page regarding using the script under Windows 10 64bits. It seems that it's not possible to run the script using a 64bits Operational System due to the usage of mem.exe. I would like to know if the program would work under a Virtual Machine of Windows 10 32bits, so I could try that instead. I have Python 3.9 installed, but I'm mostly sure the wikitools and poster is only needed to automate uploading process, and not the actual 3D preview itself. Even so, I don't think mem.exe would open even if I had Python 2.x installed.

Team Color Infobox for Community MVM Tour Medals

Community MVM tours are beginning to utilize custom painted medals with team colors. The default item infobox doesn't flow well on a page describing an entire campaign rather than a single item, however; so what I would like to have happen is to extract the team color section of the item infobox, exactly the way it currently is, and have it be a separate template I could use in the Rewards section of operation pages, to showcase custom team colors on their own.

As per your instruction, I've began a sandbox page as a rough idea of what I want: I'd like for this infobox to retain the team color functionality it has at the moment, but remove the need for a header image, and all the things from Basic Information down. When it's finished, I would like it to begin with RED and BLU headers, and showcase the team color images alone, sort of like this, and of course, continuing down to showcase them all.

Team color images already exist for these medals, as partially used in the example, as well as all existing medals that utilize custom team colors so far. They can be easily redirected to suit the team color infobox. That part isn't a problem; I just need the template, and I can take things from there. — User ThatHatGuy Signature Icon.png User ThatHatGuy Signature Talk.png User ThatHatGuy Signature Contribs.png 04:28, 14 October 2022 (UTC)

Okay, so I'd recommend using inspect element to figure out which html tags you want to keep -- and then deleting the others from the template. I'm happy to check your work but don't have much time to spend right now, sadly. Darkid « TalkContribs » 04:42, 14 October 2022 (UTC)

Random Tark question

heya!
I have a few queries regarding {{Item infobox}} that are a bit too advanced for me to handle. I was wondering if you could spare some time to assist me with thisthe requests are essentially aimed at reducing the amount of manually added text by translators to prevent pages from becoming outdated. I recently added "released-major" (under /sandbox) to automatically translate and format the "released" information ("{{Patch name|9|30|2010}}<br>([[Mann-Conomy Update]])") - defaults to "released" if not set, so it shound't break existing pagesbut there are a few issues that I haven't been able to resolve yet: specifically, the "used-by" section would benefit from a template that automatically generates the class list, similar to how {{avail}} functions

oh yeah, I have added most game attributes to Template:Dictionary/attributes, but I'm not sure if there is a better way to incorporate this into the infobox itself (that is, without having to include multiple {{attribute|token}} in the att-*/item-flag fields)

- Tark, on steam

Hello, Tark helped me with it and I've already added the changes to the main template, the only "issue" I have are the categories, for example this page, now in a page like "Fireproof Secret Diary/infobox" which is a subpage, is there a way to hide the categories or includeonly is the only way? I think its better to have the infobox shown instead of hidden. There's also a discussion if it helps. Thanks! Mgpt (talk) 04:32, 12 March 2023 (UTC)
{{#ifeq:{{BASEPAGENAME}}|Template:Item Infbox|{{ns:0}}|[[Category:whatever]]}}
Would this work? Darkid « TalkContribs » 04:35, 12 March 2023 (UTC)
The categories are added because of the parameter, the example I gave adds the Action items category (type = action) to the page. I think its only possible by adding a function to the main template only for pages ending with /infobox Mgpt (talk) 04:59, 12 March 2023 (UTC)
Yep, you'd need to add something to the main page, but yes, you could do something based on the subpagename too. Darkid « TalkContribs » 06:52, 12 March 2023 (UTC)

Translation table troubles

Hello Darkid, this is a special request. I have already discussed this with Mikado and Swood. The issue was that the Translation progress table seems to track some pages that could be subtracted as they simply cannot be touched by localization teams; some pages affect the listed categories but also the overall progress bar; there should be a way to ignore these, so the main function of the table can truly shine. One very good example is, WebAPI which is an untranslatable page; categories are also affected Category:Lists to be expanded or Category:Custom maps unreleased stubs/lang. It could be nice to have a whitelist we can all work on; comparing categories together could be an added perk, but I already personally do this manually using software. Let me know your thoughts!
Luno 🪐🌕 Talk / Contributions / Team 20:35, 26 August 2023 (UTC)

I saw the discussion (wikipedia has a new "you were mentioned" feature, if someone links to my user) -- I can get started on making you a whitelist. Darkid « TalkContribs » 22:12, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
Okay, I've added an exclusion for WebAPI -- it should now be reflected in the template (the raw count is now adjusted via {{Translation progress/count}}). You mentioned some categories needing adjusting too -- you should just be able to add/adjust the offsets on {{Translation progress/stats}}.
Please let me know if you run into any bugs/have any other concerns. Darkid « TalkContribs » 22:44, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
Damn, you were quick on the draw. Well, there are still a lot of exclusions to add. Having to compare missing pages with overall progress is going to be tough, as it's pretty much a one-sided effect, but it should work. It would be nice to expose the whitelist somewhere on the template as a shortcut or something. As for category offsets, that's a bit much for me; if there is no better way, you'll have to show me an example. Thank you.
Luno 🪐🌕 Talk / Contributions / Team 00:12, 27 August 2023 (UTC)
There should already be a report from the bot about missing translations -- but I guess it's not per category :/
There isn't a really good way to list the allowed/prevented pages beyond just editing the template, although I guess you could copy/paste that info somewhere if you need it.
The "offset" thing is just "set the offset value to the number of extra english pages", it's not rocket science. I've added one offset already -- you should be able to follow the example.
Darkid « TalkContribs » 01:03, 27 August 2023 (UTC)
Sorry, I accidentally removed two of your messages in an edit conflict. Restoring and responding...
I assume it would be possible to bridge that whitelist so that WebAPI stops popping up in Missing translations. On that note, there is a red link for "Missing categories in French", Is this still planned?
Luno 🪐🌕 Talk / Contributions / Team 00:24, 27 August 2023 (UTC)
this should fix WebAPI showing up, as well as the redlink. Darkid « TalkContribs » 03:31, 27 August 2023 (UTC)

What doesn't work about the script? Did HLMV offsets break again? Darkid « TalkContribs » 02:12, 31 October 2023 (UTC)
Hopefully this thread is still new enough that I can post it. First of, thank you for updating the scripts to work on Python 3+. I think I got all the necessary steps done before running, but, once I run automate.py, it activates the HLMV window, a yellow background shows up, and HLMV crashes. I am not sure what the issue is. I want to mention that I'm using the mem.exe I compiled by my own about a year ago, as the one from the repo doesn't work as it's 32bits, while I run Windows 10 64bits instead. I saw that there was no changes to mem.exe, so I don't think it's an issue with it. My exact version of Python is 3.9.13.

Praise be! Cheddar (talk) 08:41, 19 November 2023 (UTC)
Would it be possible to include a HLMV++ variant too? HLMV++ and HLMV should be identical when it comes to rotations, the only issue would be that a setting needs to be turned off before making these images called "Aspect correction" (but that should not be hard to do manually). HLMV takes a lot more time to set up than HLMV++ (such as the dxsupport.cfg change, possibly a fix for blurry images, grey cornea issue, anti-aliasing not working properly, etc.) and would be nice if that had support too.
BLU Wiki Cap.png | s | GrampaSwood Praise the Sun! (talk) (contribs) 09:52, 19 November 2023 (UTC)
HLMV++ has different camera zoom ins and zoom outs (think like... regular HLMV zooms at 1 intervals, while ++ does at 0.5 intervals), though I think that rotating the model should be the same. If anything, both results should be compared before making a release stating they both work the same, just to be safe. Edit: The Aspect Correction thing shouldn't be necessary, if anything, it can simply be disabled before running the script, as you still have to manually load the model before running it. I use an older version of HLMV++ that doesn't has that, and I feel like script could break trying to disable something it doesn't exist.

On "requirements.txt", remove the "-r TFWiki-scripts/requirements.txt" line, and run it. I was getting similar errors and this fixed it (if I recall correctly). You may get an error after installing Pillow (but it will work properly). Simply remove the two first lines and only keep the one for "pywin32==304", then, you should have all libraries installed properly. Additionally, if either or both steps doesn't work, run CMD as Administrator. Haven't tested the new version yet, though, but I had this issue prior to posting my initial comment.

Help with Template

Hello. Could you help me with something related to the Template:Painted variants? I'd like if there was a new parameter called override-title. Using this parameter would add a title in the same vein when default= or style= parameters are used (I'm talking about the "Style 1" that appears above "Single colors" and below "Painted variants - Style 1"). Additionally, if default= or style= is used in conjunction with override-title, whatever is put with override-title= will replace whatever value was put into either default= or style=. Lastly, the text for override-title= wouldn't be linked to the {{item name}}, as the idea is to put any title on it, however, it should still be possible to use {{item name}} when using a name on the dictionary.

I'd like to use this parameter for the Gibus pages (not the Galvanized Gibus page), by including each of the styles as tabs on the Painted Variants table. The idea is to add these paint variants using override= with the name of the other styles, so there's no need to re-upload them or make a huge amount of redundant redirects. However, doing so currently causes no text to be visible on top (the text between "Single colors" and "Painted variants -..." does not show up), because I am unable to use style=, doing so causes the filename to be different, therefore the images does not show on the table. Feel free to use this code for testing, though you'll have to move it to Ghastlierest Gibus page and Show Preview for a better, well, preview. Once the parameter is added, I will add the tabs to that page, the other Gibus pages, and the rest of the languages as well. Thanks!

Which of these 3 boxes are you trying to change? Can you make an MSPaint mockup of what you're looking for, and/or give me a sandbox page of how you *want* to call the template (but that doesn't work)? Darkid « TalkContribs » 09:57, 29 December 2023 (UTC)
It would be the letter "C". Here's some screenshots to help you. Right now, the pages look like this: https://imgur.com/a/43eplWu. The idea would it to be look like this instead, please see this mock-up: https://imgur.com/a/lJ0ynUw. Just to keep things clear. The reason I'm not using "style=" on the second album is because, if I do, the filenames change, and the images don't show up. Someone suggested me just using redirects instead, but that would be approximately 111 pages worth of redirects. I think it's a bit redundant doing so, and I would say the override-title method would be much more ideal. Thank you!

Hello, I just wanted to ask / remember if you have any plans in making this parameter available on the template. I don't think it should be too difficult to make, even though I tried many times but I ain't a pro when it comes to templates. Thank. Headphones style when? - User Gabrielwoj Signature 1.pngUser Gabrielwoj Signature 2.png - User Gabrielwoj Signature 3.png 12:58, 7 February 2024 (UTC)
Maybe I'm not understanding correctly, but it looks like that's controlled by this code (which is the sole use of the 'default' parameter). I think you should just be able to add a further override, or change this #if statement as you need.
{{#if:{{{hh|}}}|{{ns:0}}|{{#if:{{{default|{{{style|}}}}}}
| {{!}}+ style="text-align:left; font-size:1.5em; padding:0.5em 0em" colspan="4" {{!}} {{#if:{{{name|}}}|{{item name|{{{name}}}}}|{{item name|{{{default|{{{style|default appearance}}}}}}}}}}
}}}}
I see that there's a sandbox page set up, I've added some more docs samples, hopefully you can take it from here.

Speed table metric units

I believe I asked a few years ago about adding Metric units to the {{Class speed table}} (preferably in the order of Metric -> Imperial -> Hammer units), but I never made a talk page entry for it. It looks very complicated so I understand it won't be done any time soon, but I thought I'd leave it here regardless for if you're ever bored :^)
BLU Wiki Cap.png | s | GrampaSwood Praise the Sun! (talk) (contribs) 14:09, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

This content is actually generated by {{Class speed table/top row}} (and mid row, etc). It looks like the kph math is already there, even -- it's just only in use on non-english pages.
I'd recommend making (another) sub-template for the tooltip (maybe {{Class speed table/tooltip}}?) and then you can consult editor preferences, or whatever. Darkid « TalkContribs » 18:22, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
Tooltip subtemplate created. Feel free to play around with it (in a sandbox) until it looks good to you, lmk if you need help with that but it should be very straighftorward. Darkid « TalkContribs » 21:47, 10 January 2024 (UTC)

About 3D module

Hi! I'm A22, Inkipedia ES bureaucrat, and Inkipedia and Animal Crossing Enciclopedia (wiki in Spanish) interface staff.
I'm contacting you to ask if you can give the green light for Animal Crossing Enciclopedia to use the 3D module you have available on your wiki, as happened with Inkipedia in an earlier discussion.
I would also like to know if in the future it is necessary to contact you every time a wiki wants to add your 3D module to their wiki (if so, it would not be necessary to contact you every time a wiki wants to add it).
Thanks! A22PG (talk) 16:09, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

I'm not an admin, so I don't have the final say on what you can/can't do. That said, the wiki contents are licensed, as long as you follow that license you don't have to ask for permission.
It's also not "my" 3D module -- I only own the latest copy of the automation scripts -- there has been a lot of work from a lot of editors to make the whole pipeline work -- much of which is in the actual 3D models template.
I *definitely* don't have the bandwidth to help every new wiki set up this template/workflow, so no, you definitely don't have to ask me every time.

Userbox template request

Currently, the {{Userbox}} template adds it to a category based on the namespace, but if the URL is "User:Username/Template:Templatename" it adds it to the "Template:" namespace category instead of the "User:" one. Is there a way to prevent this?
BLU Wiki Cap.png | s | GrampaSwood Praise the Sun! (talk) (contribs) 17:53, 10 January 2024 (UTC)

You'll have to do some manual fixups, but you should be able to determine if the SUBPAGENAME startswith "Template" and recategorize. Darkid « TalkContribs » 18:13, 10 January 2024 (UTC)
Would simple adding another check after the "User:" check work?
BLU Wiki Cap.png | s | GrampaSwood Praise the Sun! (talk) (contribs) 18:13, 10 January 2024 (UTC)
I don't understand what you mean -- currently it's checking for {{#ifeq:User talk | User ; you'll need to add a different kind of check. Darkid « TalkContribs » 21:21, 10 January 2024 (UTC)
I mean putting another #ifeq inside the existing one for the "User" namespace check. So it would be smth like {{#ifeq:{{NAMESPACE}} | User | {{#ifeq:{{NAMESPACE}}| Template | X | Y}} | Z }}. Basically making it so if it's on "User" it also checks if it has "Template" then add categories based on that, rather than checking both namespaces separately.
BLU Wiki Cap.png | s | GrampaSwood Praise the Sun! (talk) (contribs) 21:55, 10 January 2024 (UTC)
You can think of {{NAMESPACE}} as a template with no parameters -- its value won't change if you call it a second time. You'll need to use some other magic word (like {{SUBPAGENAME}}) to determine if the subpage is a template.
So, something like {{#ifeq: {{NAMESPACE}} | User | {{#if: <condition representing your request> | [[category 1]] | [[category 2]]}} | [[category 3]] }}
w:Help:Magic words is a good starting point.

Some template issue I'm facing

Hi Darkid,

I've been struggling to find a way around an issue I have with this template: User:GrampaSwood/Template:ReservationUpdate. I have a {{{contents}}} parameter that's intended to contain the text found on the Weapon Demonstration talk page, but an issue with this is that any kind of vertical bar (|) will obviously create issues on the template. Do you happen to know any way around this? My own signature uses vertical bars in it which is the main issue, I changed this but obviously I'd like to future-proof the template without forcing everyone to use {{!}} instead of |.
BLU Wiki Cap.png | s | GrampaSwood Praise the Sun! (talk) (contribs) 17:25, 14 February 2024 (UTC)

Just making sure I understand the issue -- someone is invoking the template like this:
{{User:GrampaSwood/Template:ReservationUpdate|content=Hello|world}}
and then the template reads the | as a second parameter? Darkid « TalkContribs » 17:29, 14 February 2024 (UTC)
Yeah, though there are some more parameters preceeding the "content" one, Hello|world is supposed to show up as "Hello|world" but instead it's "Hello".
BLU Wiki Cap.png | s | GrampaSwood Praise the Sun! (talk) (contribs) 17:33, 14 February 2024 (UTC)
Good news, this is a classic programmer problem -- sanitizing user input. Bad news, it's intractable :)
It is not possible to prevent users from inputting bad data -- and since there is no limit to how bad the data they input is, you will have to lower your expectations. (what if, e.g., a user's signature contained }}?)
I would recommend just adding error text if you detect the presence of (or 3, or 4) and tell the user how to fix it ("replace | with {{!}}").
Darkid « TalkContribs » 04:14, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
I'll look into it, though the template is taken from {{Doc begin}} with just the colour changed, maybe there would be a way to have the template function similar to that? Simply put {{ReservationUpdate}} at the top with some parameters, then have a template at the bottom that ends the coloured box. I'm not sure if that is possible, though.
BLU Wiki Cap.png | s | GrampaSwood Praise the Sun! (talk) (contribs) 10:58, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
I've found a fix for this, I took it from {{Discussion close}}. Basically, giving it a switch statement which takes "begin" or "end", with "end" being a simple closing div tag.

Some requests regarding 3D models

I believe I requested this in IRC before, but forgot to put this on your userpage. I wouldn't consider it a very high priority thing, but Half-Life Asset Manager is a program similar to HLMV but to run GoldSrc models (TFC's engine). I tried to open up GoldSrc models in HLMV, but it either crashes the program or simply gives an error with the model, so I suspect regular HLMV can't open these models.

With that, I'd like to request you to look into making the 3D models script compatible with HLAM. Like I said, I imagine this would be very low priority but I'd like to get 3D views for those out at some point. Related to 3D views, do you think that they could be added to {{Hazard infobox}} and {{Pickup infobox}}? And perhaps the creation of a standalone 3D viewer that's similar to {{Team colors infobox}} (i.e. just the buttons and viewer, as if taken straight from the infobox. It would mainly be used on building pages because they have no infobox)?

These are quite a few requests, but I think I could manage the last few ones if you could leave a small explanation of how to implement 3D views into infoboxes.
BLU Wiki Cap.png | s | GrampaSwood Praise the Sun! (talk) (contribs) 00:08, 18 February 2024 (UTC)

HLAM is on my backlog (though likely not any time soon). The standalone 3D viewer should just be at Module:3D viewer advanced, you can just treat it like it's any other sub-template. Darkid « TalkContribs » 00:26, 18 February 2024 (UTC)

Wrong category on some of your pages

This page and also this page is tagged for Category:Secondary weapons, Category:Primary weapons, Category:Melee weapons (and probably more other tags), I checked the page, its because the bots don't add ":" before category links causing the page in wrong category.

Patch name edits

Hi there,

I would like to request a quick check to see if the edits I made to the Patch name's sandbox would mess up anything currently on the Wiki. The main changes here are to add the "(Major update)" bit to the template, as well as the "[Patch] #1" bit. For pt-br and pt, this is at the start of the template and not the end, as well as requiring the "in-the" parameter at all times. These should all be added now, the only thing I want is to add some comments for translators and make the language switches more readable for them.

Linking to a category in a template

I'm updating {{Update trans}} to support all non-main namespaces instead of just templates (mainly for usage on Categories). I started on {{Update trans/sandbox}} but so far, I can't get the categories to link properly. Adding ":" on its own makes it behave like an indent and adds a <br>. Adding it with nowiki tags results in [[:Category:categoryname]]. I even tried using a separate template similar to {{!}} but it didn't work either. Any ideas on what I could use?
