  • Recent Changes will let you see others' contributions as they happen.
    • To make Recent Changes more useful for all users, remember to provide an edit summary in the "Summary" field before you save your changes.
    • You can set the wiki to prompt you for a summary in your preferences.
  • When posting on an article's Talk page you should add four tilde symbols or ~~~~ onto the end.
    • This will add a signature and timestamp to your comment so others can easily tell who posted it.
    • Any new sections on an article's Talk page should be added to the bottom of the page and not to the top.
    • When editing normal article pages, don't sign your contributions.
    • You can use the Signature Icon.png button in the editing toolbar to quickly add a signature.
  • If you have any questions or need any help, please feel free to leave a message for a staff member.
  • If you have trouble with anything on the wiki or you're not sure about a specific topic, feel free to join the IRC.
  • You can also customize your user page if you like.
    • When uploading images for use on your user page, please add the prefix User Ironhide521 to the file's name.
    • Additionally, if you would like to add any self-made content to the wiki, please do so by adding the prefix User:Ironhide521/ to the page title when you create the page.

How to translate articles

Hello,

Please read the language translation guide when you have the time.

Also, be aware that machine-made translations, such as those entirely made by Google Translate, are not allowed on the wiki - if you wish to translate an article, you have to translate it yourself.

Cheers, and welcome to the Team Fortress Wiki. - BrazilianNut (talk) 13:05, 28 September 2023 (UTC)

Translating pages

Hi there,

When translating pages, please do not translate template parameters. For example, the "Other uses" template should still be "{{Other uses|this=mapa de carga útil|for=el artículo cosmético" rather than translating "Other uses", "this=", and "for=". The same goes for any other template, please see this page for more information on how to translate pages. Tags such as <gallery> should also not be translated, the "File:" part should also not be translated, and file names should also not be translated. Remember to also largely keep the English page formatting, it's not necessary to add a blank line between each entry in the locations and gallery sections.

When linking to other pages, please use the format [[Pyroland/es|Pyrolandia]] instead of [[Pyrolandia]]. For updates such as the Summer 2023 Update, templates like {{update link}} and {{update name}} exist to automate the links and translation of these updates. For items, {{item name}} and {{item link}} serve the same purpose and should be used. For any non-item pages, please add a displaytitle at the top for what the page's name should be. For example, for Phoenix this should be {{DISPLAYTITLE:Phoenix}}.

The Phoenix/es infobox was nearly completely empty, the galleries didn't work, the Update history was entirely broken, and a template nav didn't show up. Please use the "Show preview" button before making an edit to see if nothing messes up. With how selective some stuff has been translated, this page feels like it is translated using an automatic translation tool, note that these are strictly forbidden and should not be used. I've largely fixed the page, please see that edit and observe the changes.
