Hi I notice you are a Mod on this wiki so I was hoping you could resolve a failing, admittedly on my part, of the current search engine on Wiki.

My name is Agro and I'm one of the co-creators and hosts of the TF2 podcast, KritzKast. I've noticed that if you search for the word "podcast" on this site you are immediately given the links to the now dead Control_Point_podcast, and the excellent Friendly_Fire_Podcast but Kritzkast doesn't appear until you scroll a lot further down the page. The reason for this, as I see it, is that the page names for CP and FF are "ControlPoing_podcast" and "FriendlyFire_podcast" where as the page name for KK is just "kritzkast".

I'd very much appreciate it if you were to modify the KritzKast page such that it's called "KritzKast_Podcast" so that balance may be restored to the search.

Thanks

It has been renamed and I've added a dismbiguation page if you search for Podcast. Feel free to make your own disamiguation pages in the future, it's easy! -Firestorm 23:42, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
Shame you did it wrong then, Firestorm. -- Smashman... (ts) 17:27, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

Wallpapers

Can you make a page for the wallpapers that contains a gallery of them? They appear here otherwise. -- Pilk (talk) 07:05, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

Sure! Is there an easy way to add them to the gallery once you upload the file? --Firestorm 07:09, 5 July 2010 (UTC)
You will have to add them in manually. -- Pilk (talk) 07:11, 5 July 2010 (UTC)
mmmk, I'll get on that tomorrow, it's sleepy-time now --Firestorm 07:12, 5 July 2010 (UTC)


Thanks!

No problem, the reason was because I had accidentally pressed the "make signature like wiki text button" which is why there was no link, and thanks for showing me how to make my own signature, I'm gonna get right on that :D Enjoy the update bud!--EDF 23:37, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, I thought that might be the problem. If you make a signature with a link to your userpage, make sure to CHECK that box so that it doesn't overwrite your signature with a generic one. You can test it by simply adding the ~~~~ to any page at all and then previewing it. Isn't having a custom signature fun?! --Firestorm 23:39, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

Wallpapers

Done. -- Smashman... (ts) 17:20, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

Congrats

Congratulations on over nine one thousaaaaaaand edits :D You deserve a medal~ — WindPower 07:50, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

Ha, 1000 edits? Which sick man sends these babies to edit my wiki? -- Smashman... (ts) 08:08, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
I only started here a month ago, maggot! --Firestorm 15:04, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

I may have to steal your new userbox...

Laugh while you can, Mister Kicker. The Neotank 21:28, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

Tf spy deep undercover.png This user has stolen some of Firestorm's userboxes

--Firestorm 21:33, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

This should say "two of Firestorm's userboxes", because you made this one too. The Neotank 21:36, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

Thanks

I saw someone else using your userboxes, and I thought why not? they are cool! If you could please help me make some, I'd gladly replace a few of yours for the sake of it being my own work, first though, could you start me off on how to make a userbox that shows that I shaped my userboxes to the first initial of my name, just like yours and others'? Thanks again! :D --EDF 19:15, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

This is an excellent place to start. You can check out any of my userboxes by finding the name through the source of my page and putting the name of the box in the search. I.E. "User:Firestorm/Template:User Username"
You can view any of my userboxes to see how the are made, and feel free to make some of your own in your own template userspace before asking me for any help. Figuring it out yourself can be the best way! --Firestorm 19:20, 11 July 2010 (UTC)
Here's one I finished today, I think I'll finish off the end saying that I placed all the userboxes in an "E." Thanks for all your help bud, if I need anymore, I know who to talk to! :D --The preceding unsigned comment was added by EvilDeadFan (talk) • contribs)
Pyro emblem BLU.png This user is a pyromaniac!


Now, what you need to do is take that userbox and make it in your own userspace as a template. to do that, go to User:EvilDeadFan/Template:User Pyromaniac and create the userbox there. Then, go to your own userpage, and put {{User:EvilDeadFan/Template:User Pyromaniac}}. Cheers! --Firestorm 00:47, 12 July 2010 (UTC)
Thanks! It's all set up now, I can't wait to do more! Thanks for all your friendliness and help! :D --EDF 01:07, 12 July 2010 (UTC)
Ah yes, the joy of userboxes. Please remember to tab your comments over with multiple colons so that it's like a message board and easier to read. --Firestorm 02:00, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

Orange Moderators?

This is all your fault. I can tell. -The Neotank ( | Talk) 22:22, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

Let's all underline our names. -- Nineaxis Duck Gib.png 22:23, 12 July 2010 (UTC)
Ah, but have you ITALICIZED your name? --Firestorm 22:31, 12 July 2010 (UTC)
No, but mine has a DUCK, therefore I win. -- Nineaxis Duck Gib.png 22:33, 12 July 2010 (UTC)
What is it with you and your duck fetish? >.> — Wind 22:34, 12 July 2010 (UTC)
I blame En Ex. -- Nineaxis Duck Gib.png 22:35, 12 July 2010 (UTC)
That doesn't answer my question :( Anyway this might help you away from it a bit (semi-nsfw) — Wind 22:37, 12 July 2010 (UTC)
I blame the Sniper. -- SgtWoodsy 22:38, 12 July 2010 (UTC)
what? What? WHAT?!?!? WHYYYYY? All I saw was the title! --Firestorm 22:38, 12 July 2010 (UTC)
What. Anyway, purple. -- Vi3trice (talk) 16:25, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

Thanks

Thankyou sir will do. Might need a little cleaning up! --The preceding unsigned comment was added by Brianfl1 (talk) • contribs)

No problem! Let me know on this page if you need help with anything. Two things though for talk pages: Sign your comments with ~~~~, and create new headers for new topics on talk pages. Thanks! --Firestorm  User Firestorm Nuke Sig.jpg 03:40, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

Thanks!

Is it possible to add multiple images to the "image" section of an infobox? Darkman 4 03:38, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

It would be best to set it up like the different colours on the Blutsauger page. It would simply require a different infobox template. What would you need multiple images for? --Firestorm  User Firestorm Nuke Sig.jpg 03:41, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
I'd like it to show thew Quake Team Fortress and Team Fortress Classic versions of a weapon/class, if possible. If not, I can make a combo image and have the individual models in a gallery section on the bottom of the page. Darkman 4 03:43, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
So we're combining the TFC and QTF pages? --Firestorm  User Firestorm Nuke Sig.jpg 03:44, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
Yeah, since there isn't much of a difference between the two games. Darkman 4 03:45, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
