{{c|info}} [http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=80 The TF2 forum exists], use it to discuss the item. -[[User:RJackson|<span style="background-color:#FF0000;color:white;font-size:0.7em;padding: 0 2px;">RJ</span>]]{{mod}} 00:29, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

This hat appears to be a skinned copy of the "Medic's Officer Hat" file that was located in the game files until recently.
 
== Hat somewhat related to M. Bison (Dictator)? ==
 
I can see the resemblance to M. Bison, YES YES.  [[User:Jozh goober] October 9, 2010
 
 
I can't help but feel that the hat is somewhat related to a famous Street Fighter character. [[User:Nanosheep|(nanosheep_inc)]] 06:40, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
 
 
I think that if you take off the tf2 emblem, M.bison would never realize.
 
[[User:freakoholic7042]] 18:56,12 october 2010 (UTC)
 
 
That hat is just like Bison's. I would put that on the trivia section. [[User:Mike Red|Mike Red]] 18:45, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
 
:It's a police cap. The M Bison similarity is a coincidence. {{n}}[[User:Smashman|<span class="bur">Smashman</span>]]<sub>&nbsp;([[User_talk:Smashman|talk]])</sub> {{bur}} 21:56, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
 
:: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p0j0lO7uQBo YES! YES!] -- [[User:Vi3trice|<font color=#771d6d>'''Vi3trice'''</font>]] {{adm}} <sub>([[User_talk:Vi3trice|talk]])</sub> 22:01, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
 
 
/wiki hat/
 
 
It looks like a Dutch train-attendant's hat; with the railroad pin switched with a TF2 logo. [[User:FoOz|FoOz]] 07:05, 5 October 2010 (UTC)
 
 
Personally, I'd say it resembles a common military officer's hat. --[[User:RedShocktrooper|RedShocktrooper]] 18:49, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
 
 
It may be unintentional, but galdarn it I want it because it looks like Bison's hat. If I get it I'm namin' it Shadaloo Chapeau or some other ridiculous thing. --[[User:CommodoreJim|CommodoreJim]] 04:51, 9 October 2010 (UTC)
 
 
It appears to me to be a Peaked cap. They are used throughout many military forces. They orginated from Russia in the early 1700's. [[User:Jeff Andonuts|Jeff Andonuts]] 08:55, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
 
 
: ^ This. It reminds me of World War One German Enlisted caps, but with a visor: http://northerngoodies.com/store/item/ns_0276.html [[User:Goose511th|Goose511th]] 19:45, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
 
 
I think it looks like the SS hats of the 2nd World War, specially if you paint it black.
 
I didn't like what's written on the "Distribution" section on this hats' page, it doesn't explain anything and it does not inform people if some players have already received the hat or not. [[User:Allukard|Allukard]] 16:40, 14 October 2010 (UTC)
 
 
== Description suggestions ==
 
 
wiki hat look a lot like a police hat, I have come up with: "Wiki addicts, most accurate information source"

:::Speaking of which, I read on the older Talk Page some were looking  to change the name (The Recent Change was the best proposition so far), is it still an actual fact? [[User:Tturbo|Tturbo]] 23:33, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
