| − | Is it just me, or does this seem wrong? My guess is that those voice actors aren't available yet, so they just implemented most of them for the time being.

| − | | |
| − | What weapon is this referring to? Lugermorph wasn't usable by Engineer until the Engineer Update... and that's a moot point anyway, as it wasn't an unlock.

| − | :: Replying to both of the above, the Wiki's own weapon template divides weapons into Standard, Unlock, Drop, Special, and Promotion.

| − | "...that the Snipers's Halloween Mask features a "suprised" face with 3 eyes? So far, no one has manged to figure out why." Thats a lie! I figured it out- he's putting a third eye in the middle of their forehead ie. Boom, Headshot.

| − | == Facts need to be tested and proof-read before posted ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Many of the facts in the Add Facts section are either re-posts, improperly spelled, already listed, possibly fake, or any combination of the previously mentioned. I suggest that facts must be posted in the discussion section so people can proof-read and test them out before deciding whether they should be added to the list or not. Here's an example of one that I removed because it didn't seem like it was true: "*...that you can look directly through the [[Rocket Launcher]] model's barrel even when it is loaded, yet you cannot do the same with the [[Direct Hit]] model?"
| |
| − | It not only seems fake, but also worded incorrectly. Post your thoughts here. <small>— ''The preceding unsigned comment was added by'' '''[[User:Lordgeorge16|Lordgeorge16]]''' ([[User talk:Lordgeorge16|talk]]) • ([[Special:Contributions/Lordgeorge16|contribs]]) 2010-09-28T15:31:50</small>

| − | :I'd like to second this, seeing what is currently up there... "that in the beta version of the game, 2fort had no bridge" which should be no ROOF on the bridge, seeing as the map really wouldn't work without a bridge anyway. [[User:A Boojum Snark|A Boojum Snark]] 02:50, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

| − | == Grammar Check ==
| |

| − | == Huntsman? ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | One of the facts says "that the Sniper originally fired his Huntsman in a right-handed manner".
| |
| − | | |
| − | Shouldn't it be "left-handed manner", as the bow used to be held in a left-handed fashion prior to a patch? [[User:Magic Magician|Magic Magician]] 09:23, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

| − | == Loch n' Load ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | I don't think that ''all'' stock items can be replaced in loadouts. Does anyone playing the [[Engineer]] or the [[Spy]] here? How about the Engineer's [[P.D.A]]s or the Spy's [[Disguise Case]] and the [[Electro Sapper]]! They have no replacement yet! I think that ''not all'' stock items can be replaced.

| − | == Ha.....Wait What? ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | I was just reading the "Did you know..." stuff and some of them (like it entirely i guess?) arent updated, wrong, or just what?
| |
| − | | |
| − | like these...
| |
| − | | |
| − | ...that the Medic was the only class not to receive a taunt attack in his own update?
| |
| − | | |
| − | ...that the Pyro was the only class to receive a class update without receiving a new taunt?
| |
| − | | |
| − | and this?
| |
| − | | |
| − | ...the Direct Hit is the only weapon to have a brand name imprinted on it (the words MANN CO. appear on the scope)?
| |
| − | | |
| − | The Scott. Res. has MANN CO. on the drum barrel right?
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | and these have been fixed/patched/removed?
| |
| − | | |
| − | .... if a Soldier has the Rocket Jumper and Equalizer equipped he can perform the Kamikaze taunt without damaging himself? This is also a way of Concussion Jumping.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ...that the new kill symbols of the Polycount weapons are a different shade to previous kill icons?
| |
| − | | |
| − | ...that the Scotsman's Skullcutter, the Horseless Headless Horsemann's Headtaker and the Eyelander are the only weapons that can decapitate?
| |
| − | | |
| − | ...that a Spy can remove his own Sapper using the console command "destroy 4"?
| |
| − | | |
| − | And these...
| |
| − | | |
| − | ...that you can survive the Heavy's taunt kill if you are wearing The Fists of Steel? <- should include that all of them BUT Decapitation, organ grinder (I got the wrong i think...)
| |
| − | | |
| − | ...that the Demoman will wield his Scotsman's Skullcutter, Horseless Headless Horsemann's Headtaker and Claidheamh Mòr with two hands in 1st person view, but single handed in world view? <--- This is a graphical glitch (i think...) in the loadout screen.

| − | | |
| − | :Well first, thank you for not editing those out to begin with and starting a discussion instead. Second, a good lot of those Did you knows are actually true.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The Medic was the first class to be updated, and when he was, he did not recieve a taunt kill. Every class after that (Pyro, Heavy, Scout, Sniper/Spy, Soilder/Demoman, and Engiee) all recieved taunt kills in their updates.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The Pyro, while he did receive a taunt kill, used an animations that already exsisted in the game. He plays his guitar with all his melee weapons, he shoots a fire ball with his secondary, and lifts his flamethower over his head with his primary. All of these use the same animations he originally came with, and so he has not recieved any new taunt animations to date.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The Scottish Resistance I've checked out and can confirm it does not have Mann CO. written on the drum barrel. There may appear ot be writting due to texturing but there it actually nothing.
| |
| − | | |
| − | As for the Demoman weilding his melees with 2 hands world view verses 1 hand in first person view I can also confirm as true because I tested that one out myself :D.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The rest of them will need to be tested though.

| − | ==Gaelic==
| |
| − | "...that the Demoman is the only class who never speaks his native language of Highland Gaelic?"
| |
| − | | |
| − | 1. "Highland Gaelic" isn't a language, it's just called Gaelic.
| |
| − | | |
| − | 2. It's not the Demoman's native language - Gaelic is hardly taught anywhere any more and it is nobody's first language.
| |
| − | | |
| − | 3.

| − | == Fire-based damage ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | '...the Sniper is the only class besides the Pyro able to deal fire-based damage?' Not sure if this is true any more, since the alt-fire of the Cow Mangler 5000 can deal afterburn (though I'm not sure if that counts as fire-based damage, it should though...)

| − | == Did You Know guidelines versus Trivia Guidelines ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | I noticed today that on the "did you know" section, we have a lot of "facts" that are basically just x of y trivia bullet points. Such points like "Medic and Heavy are the only two classes without default headgear" would be removed in an instant on the specific class pages, but are fine for did you know? It just seems confusing that, on one hand, we state the fact is interesting (as a did you know), and yet, on another (as trivia) it's not interesting and greatly discouraged. I think the Did you Know guidelines should more closely follow the trivia guidelines, if not outright BE the trivia guidelines. Further, it would save a step of having to go through and monitor the list, as new "Did You Know" points could just be copied directly from interesting trivia pieces.

| − | :It's my opinion that there are not only a great deal of substandard or 'lacking' factoids that are added just because, but also if you simply compare the suggestions to one another, let alone the currently displayed facts, which are either helpful or intriguing to the majority, you'll notice that a great number are not so much of either. Perhaps some examples of factoids could be made in the final bullet point of [[Help:Did_you_know]]? --[[User:Xenaero|Xenaero]] 09:11, 30 August 2011 (PDT)

| − | == Red Spy deeper voice? ==
| |
| − | Are you sure it's not just because he's talking in a hushed tone? Anyone's voice gets higher the louder or more excitedly they talk, and the Blu Spy is definitely a bit excited. [[User:The Riet|The Riet]] 12:16, 1 April 2012 (PDT)

| − | | |
| − | == Medic Violin Taunt ==
| |
| − | It's actually the correct hand, since he regularly holds his saw in his right hand, this would make him a left-handed violinist, which is also perfectly legitimate. This, therefore, is not a "fact" but rather a misconception. Instead, it would be better to point out that the Medic is ambidextrous. [[User:Zachman3334|Zachman3334]] 17:05, 14 April 2012 (PDT)
