The current Wikicap voting system:
 +
* Among their other duties, Staff vote on awarding [[Wikicap]] to nominated outstanding editors.
 +
* Voting Staff is limited to all listed [[Help:Group rights|Administrators and Moderators]]. Thus, Staff represents a limited pool of individual votes; which may be cast as YES, NO, or Abstain.
 +
* Votes are be privately registered with reasons for the vote.
 +
* If the nominee receives 5 YES votes, then they receive a Wikicap.
 +
** Dropping the Wikicap is done by the Staff.
 +
* The vote remains open until either the cap is awarded or the vote is closed with no Wikicap awarded.
 +
* Votes may be changed before the Wikicap is awarded or the voting closed.
 +
* The vote is closed without awarding a Wikicap when ...
 +
** An Administrator removes the nominee for clear lack of qualifications.

** The total YES, NO, and Abstain votes exhaust the possibility of reaching 5 votes for or against (given the remaining pool of votes) and an Administrator declares deadlock.

When the Full Moon restriction was introduced with the 2011 Very Scary Halloween Special, the formula was set such that the Full Moon event occurred every 29.5 days starting Midday, October 12, 2011. The periods lasted for a full day before and after the time calculated, so the very first Full Moon event was one day either side of 12am (Midnight) on November 10, 2011. However, the actual [[w:Lunar month#Synodic month|synodic month]] is close to 44 minutes and 3 seconds longer than the 29.5 day approximation. The effect of this was that after about four years, the TF2 Full Moon schedule was about one and a half days ahead of the actual lunar phase -- by June 2, 2015, the game (and the [[Template:Fmp|Fmp calculations at that time]]) would close Full Moon events hours before the real Moon was actually full. However, by September 2015 and in subsequent months, the in-game Full Moon event was observed to be more centered on the real full moon time, indicating that the previous game schedule had been [[Template talk:Fmp|changed]]. The formulation computing the Full Moon dates for this page was changed in November 2015

to more closely track the observed Full Moon events, largely by changing the period to be closer to the actual average Lunar period.

This Game Fan Wiki Editor's Prayer

As I sit to type, I utter this self-admonishing prayer:

Very, very few edits to any game fan wiki like this one will feed, clothe, or comfort anyone or anything except frail egos. I pray to minimize my self-absorption and sloth and that I not compound my sins with jealousy and/or anger over game wiki edits.

Loving games is easy, even thieves, murders, and haters love games. How much more glorious is it to love something that does not give such immediate, easy pleasure?

Somewhat tangentially, I quibble with the comment “If you don't read the comics you wouldn't care about the administrator at all.” I don’t think I got into the comics and videos until my first Halloween event (Fourth Annual Halloween Special). I went the wiki to learn how to fight the bosses, and in that manner learned about the past content. Similarly, that is how I learned that the Administrator/Announcer had any sort of significance. Moreover, it was through the wiki that I learned that the game had any storyline at all. In a nutshell, I found the game, googled for strategy, found the wiki, found the storyline, found the comics. YMV; but, maybe it happens that way for others, too. Truly, the wiki is the bookshelf where I keep my "worn" copies of the comics. Mikado282 (talk) 21:39, 22 April 2014 (PDT)

Community topic notability

See Team Fortress Wiki:Community topics notability guidelines

Community topics embrace a collection of subjects of content and activities that occur outside of direct Valve's corporate operations and publications of the Team Fortress series of games and all related media. Obviously, Team fortress wiki will not cover all Community activities. Secondary (if not tertiary) to the primary task of keeping the wiki current with Valve's publications and updates, editors may cover notable Community topics, but only in compliance with the wiki's Policy for Community topic notability.

Community-led activities and content development is a foundation of Team Fortress; and, Team Fortress 2 was developed to encourage future content development and activities within the community.
