| − | == Category ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | This should really be a category rather than an article in its own right. In most cases, these aren't reskins, but alternate models. Maybe move it to Alternate Models? It just feels weird calling this article "reskin". --[[User:SilverHammer|SilverHammer]] 23:30, 16 August 2011 (PDT)

| − | : Oh, it's already a category. Alright, I'mma just nominate this for deletion then. Opinions go here. --[[User:SilverHammer|SilverHammer]] 23:32, 16 August 2011 (PDT)

| − | ::{{c|Oppose}} – page has more info than the category page and is more useful. As it provides this extra info it isn't a duplication or redundant.

| − | :::: Cause the only one that's actually a reskin is the Golden Wrench. --[[User:SilverHammer|SilverHammer]] 12:08, 17 August 2011 (PDT)

| − | ::::: Um, I think you've got the definition of reskin wrong there. A reskin isn't a palate or colour swap. It means anything that has a visual, and possible sound, difference but has the same function. Everything on this list is a reskin. The original and holy macral are too really.[[User:MEDUNN|MEDUNN]] 14:09, 17 August 2011 (PDT)

| − | ::{{c|Oppose}} - SilverHammer, I created the original category page (which has since been redirected to this page) because I felt that it only warranted a category and not a full article; however, MEDUNN took the work I did and improved upon it greatly with a table, item icons, and even additional notes about the reskinned items. I am convinced it should stay, as Valve will likely continue to release more reskinned items in future updates. [[User:ButteredToast|ButteredToast]] 10:14, 22 August 2011 (PDT)

| − | == Holy Mackerel and The Original ==
| |
| − | Can we have a vote to decide whether or not these are reskins or not. I would say yes as they share the fuction of two other weapons with only visual differences. I know some people say that the original's position makes it better as it's easier to aim, but I would say that that is still just a visual and not a functional change.[[User:MEDUNN|MEDUNN]] 04:43, 21 August 2011 (PDT)
| |
| − | :I don't think that the Mackerel really counts as a reskin since it counts the number of hits that it makes in the killfeed notification, something no other weapon before it has done. As for the Original, I'm a little divided on the issue, but I think it counts as a reskin since it is functionally similar to the Rocket Launcher. [[User:ButteredToast|ButteredToast]] 10:14, 22 August 2011 (PDT)
| |
| − | ::The two weapons have different attributes attached, so from that perspective they are unique weapons. From a gameplay perspective the Holy Mackerel makes it easier to see when a team mate is being smacked about by a Scout, and the Original fires from a different position. If it fired from the bottom left of the screen would it still be considered equal to the rocket launcher?

| − | *''Some hats were reskins of other hats before being added officially to the game.''
| |
| − | | |
| − | This line is debatable in my opinion. The easy way to add hats into the game unofficially is to overwrite the models of other hats. While this can be construed as 'reskinning', it is not usually the authors intention to reimagine the hat being overwritten. You can overwrite any hat. By this definition every class hat is a reskin of every other class hat (apart from the polycount hats) since they are functionally identical.
