| − | == Yo, about the class match-up pages. ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | I ran through and looked at the style guide for strategy.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ''"Strategy pages contain advice instead of neutral statements about gameplay, so writing "you," giving commands, being accurate and being brief are preferred to encyclopedic language. Whenever applicable, the scope of a strategy should be specified. In some cases, this will require phrases that are normally weasel words, such as "probably" and "on occasion."
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | Anyway, you know I'm already going through and revising those pages. So with the aid of the style guide, I'm against not using "you" to address the reader. Thoughts? I should be able to remove the cleanup tag once I'm done, right? Also, nice mech on the front page. I notice these things! -- [[User:InShane|InShane]] 22:37, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

| − | :The thing is, "you" is fine if used occasionally, but it sounds unprofessional when it's applied a few hundred times in an article (which it is on the community strategy pages). I would much prefer that it be used as little as possible, and if it can be avoided then all the better. --[[User:LordKelvin|LordKelvin]] 02:36, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

| − | | |
| − | :: My main concern as of now is the basic strategy pages, which you marked for cleanup. It sounds really awkward to say "A Pyro should do this" instead of "You should do this (as a Pyro)." I have the feeling that you've probably talked to Zoolooman about this before, but he's the one that convinced me to the "you" side, especially because it flows better. -- [[User:InShane|InShane]] 02:44, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

| − | | |
| − | ::: Due to their relative length, I wouldn't be against using "you"s on the basic strategy pages, it's just that it starts to grate in the match-ups and community strategy sections. Since you're the one who's keeping an eye on those sections though, I'd say feel free to edit them however you see fit. --[[User:LordKelvin|LordKelvin]] 02:50, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

| − | ::::Ah, cripes, I also meant class match-ups. Those pages, as of my edits, contain general tips for class-to-class fighting, sorta like "basic class match-ups." Actually, that reminds me of an idea - Basic Match-up pages, and Community Match-up pages, like the ones you're creating on the Community Strategy Pages. -- [[User:InShane|InShane]] 02:48, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

| |
| − | Hey LK.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Apologies for the aggressive editing. During my time on Wikipedia, I was usually encouraged to "be bold" with edits and felt little need for the section considering the "match up" and "anti-class" strat pages do a similar job anyway - plus I felt that the section made the rest of the article feel quite bloated. Although, to be fair, I was reading the Spy Strat article beforehand and got a little annoyed that things like cloaked reload time animations were written down there.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Still, apologies for the "unadvised", should we say, edit. Still, I'd like to propose a proper "manual of style" for the community strategy articles. It seems, perhaps being their nature, that their content seems inconsistent with each other - perhaps it's something yourself and I could start working on? :D Regards. --[[User:Leftism|Leftism]] 19:49, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

| − | == User hat checklist template rewrite. ==
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Since we seem to be the ones that predominantly edit the user hat checklist template and we're both apparently trying to figure out what to do with the new Halloween hats, I think we should change the template a bit; there seems to be too many different sections (Classes, All, Promo, Event, Mask), and it could probably stand to be trimmed down to Classes and All. I polled a few other folks, and they all seem to agree; Tturboo thinks that we could probably change the background color on some of the items to denote quality as well. What do you think? [[User:ButteredToast|ButteredToast]] 08:28, 29 October 2011 (PDT)

| |
| − | Hello! The other day I noticed the layout of the TF2 Wiki and I find it quite appealing. I play on a Minecraft server known as The VoxelBox, and we also have our own wiki. What I wanted to know is how you were able to change the backdrop of the wiki, the format of the custom buttons and sidebar of your wiki page. I'd appreciate it if you could share some professional insight on how you guys did it, we would be very happy to know. We find our Wiki page to be very bland, and we were hoping that you would help and give us information on how to spice it up a bit. Once again, it'd be very appreciative to have your help on this.

| − | Please could you explain in what way you considered the content of the article subjective? I applied a strict logical definition from game theory to TF2 weapon stats - there was no personal judgement involved.
| |
| | | | |
| − | Just for the avoidance of doubt: suppose you had 2 weapons with identical stats, except that one had a bonus of some sort. Would you agree that the one with the bonus was objectively the better weapon? That's the only sort of comparison the article was making.

| | | | |
| − | By that objective standard, a select few weapons really are strictly better/worse than others, and I thought the wiki might benefit from having a list of them all in one place - could you recommend a single community strategy page that would be a suitable location for such a list? Of course if there isn't one, and by consensus it isn't a notable list on its own, I suppose there's no place for it, and I apologise for the trouble caused.[[User:Kzig|Kzig]] 12:38, 15 December 2012 (PST)

For any Wiki- or IRC-related thingies that require my attention, leave a message here and I'll hopefully get back to you in the same day or before the end of the next one, depending on my work and/or vacation status. If it's something urgent, then just finding me or another staff member on IRC would be best.
User name change
Hello. I was wondering, can I change my username? I asked Nikno and he said to ask an admin. If you can, then please respond. Thanks in advance! 
SCUNT MAIN 10:22, 21 March 2017 (PDT)
- I can certainly try, the last time someone asked it didn't work though, might be a problem with the Wiki or the specific characters in the name. What name would you like your account changed to? --
LordKelvin 10:35, 21 March 2017 (PDT)
- I think that was due to AlexBro having those very weird symbols in his name. You should forward that to Wind if it still doesn't work. — shots fired by: Nikno {Talk | Contribs} 07:57, 22 March 2017 (PDT)
- I want to change it to Scunt Main. That's my Steam username so I want to use it, if you can. SCUNT MAIN 10:14, 22 March 2017 (PDT)
- Ok. It's been a month now and I still haven't gotten a reply. Are you able to change it? SCUNT MAIN 10:30, 6 April 2017 (PDT)
- Sorry, I bumped it up the chain but apparently it may be a problem with the Wiki server itself. Not much I can do at this point, sorry. -- LordKelvin 23:31, 6 April 2017 (PDT)
- It seems there currently are technical issues with Mediawiki's name change process. I'll hit you up when this issue gets resolved, The Scout. — shots fired by: Nikno {Talk | Contribs} 00:09, 7 April 2017 (PDT)
- Thanks. Also, when things do get up and running, message me on my talk page LordKelvin, so we don't make a giant ongoing thread on this page. Just to clean things up a bit. SCUNT MAIN 09:57, 7 April 2017 (PDT)
Editing with a VPN
Hi LordKelvin,
I have found a loophole to do with account security and IP addresses. While this is not allowed in Wikipedia.org, the TF Wiki permits you to create an account and edit pages while using a VPN. By allowing this to occur, it compromises the integrity and security of this website; as such, I am wondering whether it would be possible to block the use of VPNs for editing and making accounts on this website.
Cheers,
Revetron (talk) 04:39, 4 July 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks for bringing this to our attention. We're aware of several issues regarding the Wiki, and I've let the rest of the staff know about this one. -- LordKelvin 07:04, 4 July 2018 (UTC)
Same Problem as Below
Hello, I'm Amza. Similar to below, I'm a new editor here. I was proofreading a page and fixed a small error and tried to save, but apparently I'm blocked from editing TOO because the person named "pootispootispootis" was using my IP address. However, my edit wasn't deleted, it didn't go through in the first place due to the block. The ban expires tomorrow apparently; and like Spicus, I'm not mad, but I would like this issue resolved. Thanks, Amza (talk) 12:38, 7 July 2018 (UTC)
- The issue stemmed from a problem we thought had been fixed, but apparently it wasn't. Apologies for the issue, the block has been removed and we'll look into putting a permanent fix in the issue in the future. -- LordKelvin 17:38, 7 July 2018 (UTC)
blocked?
I'm new to editing wiki's (literally joined just to add a cool fact I found out about the Lugermorph) and not only did my edit get deleted with a snarky "reason" by a different user. But it says you blocked my IP because it was being used by some user I've never heard of "pootispootispootis" putting "nonsense/gibberish. And on top of that, the block says it started over an hour in the future! IDK if it's just because I'm new but I don't understand why any of this happened. I'm less mad and just more confused, please allow me an explanation. Thanks, Spicus (talk) 06:15, 7 July 2018 (UTC)
Apparently everybody is having this issue. i believe Tark fixed it, not sure. anyway, the IP that was blocked is a IP used when the website cannot find your ip correctly again, not sure about that either.

I can't figure out how to do some things
Ok I searched the wiki, and could not figure out the following:
I noticed alot of hats have the wrong, or not all the qualities they could have, like the [Snowmann|Snowmann] says it's Unique and strange when it can be unusual too. How do I change this, is it even posssible? It appears to be on a page-per-page basis.
Also, I can't figure out how to submit new pages.
EDIT: oh and can you or other staff edit Module:Availability be updated with some new tags? I'd like to add: winter2016-unusual "Unlocked Winter 2016 Cosmetic Case (Unique, Strange and Unusual)"
So I can use that for all the Smissmass 2016 hats.
