Derelict map page

Hi there,

Please note that any Operation maps and missions whose maps are not listed in the nav should only be made on your user space. Once every one of those pages has been made, they will be transferred over all at once. However do note that none of these pages have been made yet currently. Any pages of such nature made on the mainspace will be deleted.

I don't understand, what did I do wrong? Falcons (talk) 12:20, 12 January 2023 (UTC)

Nothing, but it's for any future map/mission pages you might make for these events.
GrampaSwood (talk) 12:24, 12 January 2023 (UTC)

Oh alright, thanks GrampaSwood I appreciate it. Falcons (talk) 12:27, 12 January 2023 (UTC)

Unused audios

Hi there,

Please don't upload files that you don't intend on using.

Sign images

Hi there,

What is the purpose of these sign images? Not every sign/poster has to be uploaded, only notable ones. It's also not necessary to sign your uploads.
GrampaSwood (talk) 17:57, 12 February 2023 (UTC)

I thought they were used in game? And what do you mean by "notable ones" (also I didnt know that signing my uploads isn't necessary)Falcons (talk) 17:59, 12 February 2023 (UTC)

Also, you're free to delete non-notable signs/posters if that's ok. Falcons (talk) 18:01, 12 February 2023 (UTC) Falcons (talk) 18:01, 12 February 2023 (UTC)

List of posters

Thank you for your interest and assistance with List of posters.

If you don't mind, I will make some adjustments.

While maybe the lettered circles and USDOT arrows might not be notable, it doesn't hurt to have them uploaded to the wiki, IMO, where they could be used for user page decorations.

No problem dude, that's what chads do and you're right, the lettered circles and USDOT arrows aren't notable but could be used for a user page, still good eh? Also thanks for appreciating my work. Falcons (talk) 10:41, 13 February 2023 (UTC)

A few pointers

Hi there,

To move an image, simply go to the "more" dropdown menu next to the search bar and click "move". Remember to give a reason for it and to also mark the redirect for deletion afterwards using {{Delete}}.

Please also carefully check the file name, as you've named the overview image "overveiew" instead.

I've fixed both of these for you.

Image provided

Hi Falcons,

I'd like to first thank you for your contributions to the TF Wiki, however, I'd like to point out that the recent image that you uploaded was reverted. This is becuase the Scout's default hat clips with the cosmetic item.

Yossef • Talk 12:40, 29 March 2023 (UTC)

I've also noticed you put "HLMV++" in your summaries, although it's fine to use please do remember that an image being made in HLMV++ is (on its own) not a reason to remake an image.
GrampaSwood (talk) 12:53, 29 March 2023 (UTC)

No problem, Yoosef! Yeah I think I used the Pyro's Aperture Labs Hard Hat version instead of Scout version, I'm sorry GrampaSwood, I will never do it again. 14:48, 29 March 2023 (UTC)

User files

Hi Falcons,

Please add "User Falcons" in front of any file you intend to use on your user space, for example "User Falcons Profile Picture.png". There is no need to upload the image again, I have already changed the file's name.
GrampaSwood (talk) 11:59, 31 March 2023 (UTC)

Sorry! I forgot, thank you for reminding me. Falcons (talk) 12:11, 31 March 2023 (UTC)

Russian page

Hi there,

It is strictly forbidden to use Google Translate or any other automated translation software. Do not translate pages of languages you don't speak. Those links should not be localised. Language links that don't use templates should look like [[Bat/nl|Knuppel]] rather than [[Knuppel/nl|Knuppel]].

Note that more language edits using Google Translate or any other automated translation software will result in a block.
GrampaSwood (talk) 13:24, 3 April 2023 (UTC)

I apologize, I will never do it again Falcons (talk) 13:32, 3 April 2023 (UTC)

Datacore images

Hi there,

Please avoid copying images from other websites when it comes to maps and such, as many of the uploaded images are not part of the map, but rather part of the Half-Life version of the map. I've deleted these images and removed them from the map page. Please note that this Wiki documents TF2 and TFC, it is not necessary to document Half-Life and other Valve games.
GrampaSwood (talk) 15:49, 26 April 2023 (UTC)

Some of the images you just deleted weas pre-release images of the map but okay.. Falcons (talk) 15:51, 26 April 2023 (UTC)

All the images I deleted were pre-release of the Half-Life map, as they all featured Scientists, Barnicles, Guards, or Alien Grunts. None of these were ever going to be featured on the TFC map. One of the screenshots wasn't even of TFC at all.

File name changes

Hi there,

When changing filenames, please change them for every language and then mark the redirects for deletion using {{delete}}.
GrampaSwood (talk) 12:53, 20 May 2023 (UTC)

Wow.. you really filled my talk page with sections. Anyway, thanks for telling me that, I didn't know that in the beginning. It's my first time changing filenames though but thank you for this. Take care, and have a good day, GrampaSwood :heart: Falcons (talk) 12:58, 20 May 2023 (UTC)

Also, I am currently fixing those Philanthropist's Indulgence images. They are so ugly. I don't know why I'm saying that to you but, they are really ugly, how come that User:Gabrielwoj never notice those Philanthropist's Indulgence images? Falcons (talk) 13:03, 20 May 2023 (UTC)

I don't know, Gabriel is not omnipresent I suppose.
GrampaSwood (talk) 13:24, 20 May 2023 (UTC)

Map images

Hi there,

I recently made this template to automatically add categories and licenses, it's optional but I thought I'd let you know to make it easier. You can use the template by typing {{subst:mapimg|<mapname>}}, replacing <mapname> with the name of the map (with the first letter capitalised, so "Upward" instead of "upward"). There's no need to select a license when uploading if you use this template.

Thanks! Much appreciated. Falcons (talk) 11:41, 20 July 2023 (UTC)

Idiot Box BLU image

Hi there,

It is not necessary to remake images in their BLU variant. For cosmetic items, the team colours section in the infobox is exactly what this is for. Also remember to include categories on every image you upload, the RED image can be used as an example of which ones to use for cosmetic images. Alternatively, {{Classimg}} can be used when uploading (see the documentation).

Sorry.. I just came back to the wiki and of course, I made the same mistake again. Anyway, thank you for keeping the tf2 wiki clean. Falcons (talk) 15:04, 23 December 2024 (UTC)
