| − | So uh, which one do we stick with? The Bomb one is on the Meet the Demoman page, but the Demo that's on the page doesn't even have a class emblem on him to begin with :/
| + | Being curious about the Crypt School Demoman attended, this one discovered an [[w:The Crypt School|authentic grammar school of such name]] in Gloucester, where not actually belongs to the Highlands. Basically, it can be conclued that it's a fictional school in TF2. |

| − | ==No taunts as a con ? ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | I thought that the list only mentions the drawbacks of the weapones from in-game , for example : I don't see that "No taunt" as a {{con}} , and the in-game Loudout for any weapones doesn't show up a red text like saying that there is no taunts , from my point of view i think its pointless , its not even an actual bug to mention . --– [[User:Gin_Ginster|<font color=#A57545>'''''Gin_Ginster'''''</font>]]<sub> ([[User_talk:Gin_Ginster|talk]])</sub> 18:28, 10 March 2011 (UTC)

| − | == Sticky Launcher is the Primary weapon... again? ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | : Has this now changed as of the 15th March 2011 update? I don't know if it happened to anyone else but my loadout slot for the Grenade Launcher and the Sticker Launcher have changed, along with the rest of the weapons in those slots. This happened to anyone else? I editted it to accomodate for this change but it has been reversed so I'm discussing this here. [[User:JakeSanchard|JakeSanchard]] 00:50, 16 March 2011 (UTC)
| |
| − | ::Huh? Sticky launcher been the "primary" weapon loadout wise as long the loadout system have existed as far I can recall. I noticed no change with the latest patch. [[User:Ailure|Ailure]] 23:56, 16 March 2011 (UTC)
| |
| − | ::: I meant in the loadout menu. The two slots have been switched but they still have the same "slots", if you know what I mean :S I'm not even sure I do tbh [[User:JakeSanchard|JakeSanchard]] 01:14, 17 March 2011 (UTC)
| |
| − | :::: I could sworn it's been that way since forever (though if I had a older version of TF2, I would had checked out to be sure ._.), and the only reason sticky launcher is not binded to 1 instead of 2 on the keyboard is probably a holdover from TFC. Which admittedly adds to the confusion, personally I don't even think of them in terms of primary and secondary while playing demoman as both have their strong uses.

| − | == Demoman is now offensive? ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | According to [http://www.teamfortress.com/classes.php?class=demoman this page] from the new TF2 layout, the Demoman is considered to be an 'Offensive' class. I'll change the page to reflect this, but if this is a mistake on Valve's part, please disregard the edit and revert. [[User:Wingless|Wingless]] 00:54, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

| − | | |
| − | == The booties ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | The table lists the booties as secondary (i.e. shield slot) but for them to take effect the need to be equiped witha shield simulataniously, so shouldn't they go in the primary ('nade launcher slot)? [[User:Guybrush20X6|Guybrush20X6]] 00:08, 22 June 2011 (UTC)
| |
| − | : It's confusing, but Demoman's GLer is actually secondary [[User:Balladofwindfishes|Balladofwindfishes]] 00:10, 22 June 2011 (UTC)
| |
| − | :: No, the Grenade Launcher is the Primary Slot weapon. The Booties are directly affected by the shield, and are secondary, like the Gunboats. [[User:SilverHammer|SilverHammer]] 00:12, 22 June 2011 (UTC)
| |
| − | ::: In-game, the Demoman's GL is considered the secondary; whereas stickies or shield is the primary. In the real world, it's the other way around. Either way, the Booties will take up the Grenade Launcher slot, as it completes the set. If you look closely at the sword's details, it states that all ammo becomes health, signifying that this new setted Demoman will not have to worry about ammo since he won't have stickies or a grenade launcher.

| − | == Primary/Secondary switch up ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | I think that it is a major bug that the Demoman's Primary and Seconday slots are different on loadout menu, and when in actual gameplay. Does anyone else feel that this should be listed as a bug, as it has caused some confusion. [[User:DJNerd|DJNerd]] 15:04, 4 July 2011 (PDT)
| |
| − | :No, this isnt a bug, just a questionable setup on Valve's part. Why they did this, I dont know, but its not a bug. That said, it should be noted in the weapons section. [[User:Dr. Blutengott|Dr. Blutengott]] 18:59, 25 July 2011 (PDT)
| |
| − | | |
| − | ::But it is a bug in the sense that the Demoman is the only class that has this problem. Maybe it is intentional because the Demoman is drunk, or at least none of the other classes admit to being impaired by drugs or alcohol. [[User:DJNerd|DJNerd]] 21:00, 25 July 2011 (PDT)
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Double Images ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | It appears that one of the concept arts has been added to the page twice. I do not see anything in the guidelines about this, but feel that one should be removed. I want to get a general concentus about this before actually removing anything though. [[User:DJNerd|DJNerd]] 06:21, 6 July 2011 (PDT)

| − | == Reducing the infobox ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Is there a way that we can combine ''"Eyelander, HHHH and Nessie's Nine Iron"'' into one entity for the info box? I know that the information is necessary but they are all the same weapon and then having things like ''"Ali Baba's Wee Booties and the Eyelander, HHHH or Nessie's Nine Iron fully charged"'' takes up quite a bit of space.

| |
| − | :{{c|Agree}} Yes, it's getting ridiculus. Let's use something like this: {{tooltip|Eyelander|Including Headless Horseless Horsemann's Headtaker or Nessie's Nine Iron.}} --[[User:Kid Of The Century|Kid Of The Century]] 06:22, 20 July 2011 (PDT)
| |
| − | :{{c|Agree}} Absolutely. We might as well use {{tooltip|Eyelander|Including Headless Horseless Horsemann's Headtaker or Nessie's Nine Iron}} on any page that uses all three, with certain exceptions (like the taunt kill article). [[User:Balladofwindfishes|Balladofwindfishes]] 06:30, 20 July 2011 (PDT)
| |
| − | :{{c|Agree}} I've been adding the new golf club to lots of pages referenceing this. I think the best thing to do is use the generic term {{tooltip|''head collecting weapons''|Eyelander, HHHH or Nessie's Nine Iron}}.

| − | "Though his weapons lack long-range pinpoint accuracy, the Demoman is a powerful, if unpredictable, asset..."

| − | "Excels at swift disassembly..."

| − | == Demoman using solider weapons? ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | I was messing around with the "itemtest" today and I realized that the Demoman can use his "Bottle Taunt" when holding a solider weapon, and same for solider using the demoman's weapons. Should this be trivia or just be left out because you won't see it in gameplay? [[User:DrDoughnut|DrDoughnut]] 17:50, 13 August 2011 (PDT)

It is listed as demoman_head_blue." I don't know who wrote this, but it is completely wrong, as when I looked through the GCF, there was one texture for the Demoman's head. I have removed this from the page since it was not true. [[User:Dweet|Dweet]] 14:32, 18 September 2011 (PDT)
