== Is it cool to make foreign articles? ==
  
Would it be OK if I were to make a version that contained no promotional or limited items (which are the Lugermorph, Big Kill, and Golden Wrench)? That way people would know that I'm only going for the regular or unlockable items, and not the ones that can be Lost Forever. [[User:AbeX300|AbeX300]] 21:25, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

I see a lot of red links on foreign pages when I roll random articles, and it always bothers me. I made a page for the Saxxy award music in Czech, and just added the video and navigation. Not pretending to speak the language or anything. Would that be alright to do, or should I avoid it since I don't actually have information to add?

:It's not alright to do, because then the page exists and translators assume that it exists and is fully translated. Translators look for red links and translate this in priority rather than following blue links and seeing if it's fully translated.

I see you removed my trivia note on the Skullcutter page with confusion over what I put. Allow me to explain.

I felt this was worth mentioning. --[[User:Focusknock|Focusknock]] 21:32, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

==The case of Jarate==

[[Jarate]] allows minicrit damage when thrown at an enemy right? Well, if you airblast that jarate back at the sniper or his team, they get minicrit damage against them, and that's it. Airblasting may add minicrit status to jarate the projectile, but it does not stack with jarate the effect; the jarate-covered people still only get minicrit damage against them. I think that was what I was trying to say on the Projectiles page. --[[User:Focusknock|Focusknock]] 12:11, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

What criteria are you using to pick pages for a once-over by FireBOT? Generally, you should not be automatically processing a large number of pages without reviewing them all. [http://wiki.teamfortress.com/w/index.php?title=Critical_hits&curid=491&diff=80264&oldid=75067 Here] is a bad edit that was just made. -- [[User:Pilk|Pilk]] <sub>([[User talk:Pilk|talk]])</sub> 20:28, 27 August 2010 (UTC)

:: You probably shouldn't be fixing them just for the sake of it. AWB is designed so that edits like these are done in the course of normal wiki editing duties. Page histories are being filled with bot edits, which is OK once or twice for every major revision of a page, but it's pointless doing it just because you can. -- [[User:Pilk|Pilk]] <sub>([[User talk:Pilk|talk]])</sub> 20:42, 27 August 2010 (UTC)

:::: I was just attempting to keep things consistent. I don't see a point in a naming change (I.E Mini-crit --> Mini-Crit) if only half the pages actually follow it.

So it's a choice: let the bots change all pages, let some pages be a little inconsistant, or stop making minor name changes. --[[User:Firestorm|<font color="#FF6600"><tt><big><u>'''Firestorm'''</u></big></tt></font>]] {{mod}} 20:56, 27 August 2010 (UTC)

== "Untemplatizing" ==
 +
 
 +
Hello, can I ask why did you revert the usage of the new templates <nowiki>{{Weapon change destroys buildings}}</nowiki> and <nowiki>{{Weapon damage note}}</nowiki>?! It's the same situation as with, for example, <nowiki>{{Halloween restricted}}</nowiki>, when the same portion of text should be added to a certain number of articles (and the non-English versions also have the similar text block). Instead of copypasting the same paragraph to all those places (and correcting possible errors in all those places dozens of times if needed), it's more correct to create such a template and inject it (and correct the template only).
 +
 
 +
Maybe I don't see something important? But I really don't understand why the practice that optimizes support of software code should not be used to optimize the support of multilanguage wiki articles. The performance is not an issues, as I see it — we have articles with far more templates, and it doesn't influence the speed. It helps supporting an article, helping to correct a mistake in several places with one edit — the idea of <nowiki>{{Weapon change destroys buildings}}</nowiki> came to me when I saw FIVE gramatically incorrect edits by one russian editor in the similar places of several articles and should have fixed them several times. Once again, it's the same useful idea as with <nowiki>{{Halloween restricted}}</nowiki> template, and I hope that you will change your mind :). It would have been useful even for the English-only wiki, and for multilanguage one it's even more helpful, believe me.&nbsp;—&nbsp;[[File:Login_Soldier.png|link=User:Stormbird]][[User:Stormbird|<span style="color:#5B885B;font-size:13px;font-family:'Arial';font-weight: bold;">Stormbird</span>]] <sup><span style="background:#5B885B; color:white; font-size:8px; padding-left: 2px; padding-right: 2px; padding-bottom: 1px">[[User talk:Stormbird|<span style="color:white">T</span>]]│[[Special:Contributions/Stormbird|<span style="color:white">C</span>]]</span></sup> 23:17, 29 March 2012 (PDT)

Is it cool to make foreign articles?

I see a lot of red links on foreign pages when I roll random articles, and it always bothers me. I made a page for the Saxxy award music in Czech, and just added the video and navigation. Not pretending to speak the language or anything. Would that be alright to do, or should I avoid it since I don't actually have information to add? SilverHammer 05:56, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

It's not alright to do, because then the page exists and translators assume that it exists and is fully translated. Translators look for red links and translate this in priority rather than following blue links and seeing if it's fully translated.
tl;dr: Don't do that — Wind 06:09, 29 May 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for the response. I won't, and I should have waited and asked before I made that first one. I don't seem to be able to roll the edit back. I guess I can't un-make a page, huh? SilverHammer 06:13, 29 May 2011 (UTC)
It's alright, I deleted it; next time, simply put {{delete|Some reason to delete}} at the top of the page when you want a page deleted. Also, I highly suggest you join IRCWind 06:15, 29 May 2011 (UTC)
Thank you, maggosh showed me how to nominate for deletion last night. c: I'll look in to getting on the IRC right away. SilverHammer 06:19, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

Balloon Race revision reasons

I am sorry about keeping the article up, but the reason I created this article was that Balloon race is actually a pretty popular mod. I felt it really should have its own page due to its popularity. I think that having information on it can really help people who do this mod. So yeah, that is why I don't think it should be deleted.

One thing to note is that it is a map, not a mod. The difference is very important in this. We are considering keeping a Balloon Race map page, I will keep you posted. --User Firestorm Flame.png Firestorm 13:30, 11 December 2011 (PST)

Google Translator

Hi Firestorm, I found a guy who use google translator (Kgungh34). Even he was warned before, he still use. So I think he need to ban. But, I don't know where I can report him.. I asked Epic Eric to help me, but he said can't do it right now. Hmmm.. what should I do?

Well at the moment he appears to have stopped. He has not posted since the 16th. So it would be best to wait for now. Please let me know if he uses google translate again. Thank you for your concern. --User Firestorm Flame.png Firestorm 12:35, 21 February 2012 (PST)
He use google translator again.. I think he don't even know how to edit articles. --Yjy950105 01:16, 22 February 2012 (PST)

"Untemplatizing"

Hello, can I ask why did you revert the usage of the new templates {{Weapon change destroys buildings}} and {{Weapon damage note}}?! It's the same situation as with, for example, {{Halloween restricted}}, when the same portion of text should be added to a certain number of articles (and the non-English versions also have the similar text block). Instead of copypasting the same paragraph to all those places (and correcting possible errors in all those places dozens of times if needed), it's more correct to create such a template and inject it (and correct the template only).

Maybe I don't see something important? But I really don't understand why the practice that optimizes support of software code should not be used to optimize the support of multilanguage wiki articles. The performance is not an issues, as I see it — we have articles with far more templates, and it doesn't influence the speed. It helps supporting an article, helping to correct a mistake in several places with one edit — the idea of {{Weapon change destroys buildings}} came to me when I saw FIVE gramatically incorrect edits by one russian editor in the similar places of several articles and should have fixed them several times. Once again, it's the same useful idea as with {{Halloween restricted}} template, and I hope that you will change your mind :). It would have been useful even for the English-only wiki, and for multilanguage one it's even more helpful, believe me. — Login Soldier.pngStormbird TC 23:17, 29 March 2012 (PDT)

You bring up valid points. The main reason for removal was to unobfuscate the wiki; it feels like having a lot of templates for simple sentences would make the whole wiki very confusing to edit. I will bring this up in a discussion where editors may discuss this issue. Thank you for your concern. --User Firestorm Flame.png Firestorm 10:11, 30 March 2012 (PDT)
OK, I understand. Maybe one sentence is really not enough for creating a template. Could you please leave a link to the discussion here, when it appears? — Login Soldier.pngStormbird TC 12:14, 30 March 2012 (PDT)

"Firestorm is a featured article candidate"

As wonderful as you are, this is not the case. I would like it if I could get you to remove this banner (replace it with a non-template one) to prevent possible ambiguity in the category:Featured Article Candidates section. The appropriate substitution is:

This was a long-ago joke in which I was nominated for the Featured Article (Even receiving a significant number of approvals). I'll change the banner to ease your searching. --User Firestorm Flame.png Firestorm 12:51, 22 April 2012 (PDT)

pyro's identity

I can think of a flaw with your assumption of pyro's identity because pyro is russian based of the fact that pyro wears a Russian mask so take that into consideration Unkillableherobrine (talk) 12:12, 6 October 2016 (PDT)
