  • 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.

Abouts your edits

Please read the TF2 Wiki style guidelines in order to make a good and useful edits that can contribuite with the wiki. Seeing some of your edits, you are adding "meme" trivias. That should not be in that pages. Please don't do it.

Read the FAQ: https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Team_Fortress_Wiki:FAQ

The biggest problem with your (PhatScout) edits is that we don't list community associations. Everyone can have different associations with different items, and even if these are near-universal we still don't list them for consistency.

Recent edits

Hi there,

Please make use of the Show preview button. It gives you a preview of the edit you are making, allowing you to perfect your changes before you save the page. You can edit the whole article by clicking the edit button at the top of the page, which is preferable to editing multiple sections consecutively.

Please also look at Overlinking, as you seem to have added a lot of links that are either unnecessary or already linked.

FAQ

Hi there,

please read the FAQ. This page explains things you might be doing wrong, such as using talk pages as a page to discuss the item (rather than the page) or using it to summarise your edits (This is what the edit summary is for). Please also make use of the Show Preview button, as you've made several edits (Even after your ban) that can be easily condensed into one big edit (Such as on Soda Popper). Instead of saving and looking for errors, check for errors by clicking on the Show Preview button. You also still seem to be overlinking, note that not every mechanic mentioned needs to have a link and, in general, the links on pages are fine as-is. Please also do not change anything that does not need changing (Such as changing "autoresult" to "auto result" on Frontier Justice, as this breaks the template).
Also use ~~~~ to sign your talk page entries.

"is the first cosmetic item"

Greetings, PhatScout.

I'd like to ask you to stop changing the intro paragraphs of the articles for the Sniper vs. Spy Update cosmetics to say they were the first ones for their classes - despite it not being Trivia, it follows the same idea of XofY trivia, and so that format should not be used.
