| − | | |
| − | sorry, but my english is not great
| |
| − | whats does this mean?:
| |
| − | * Demonstrate a strong desire to help improve and update the Wiki through useful edits and contributions.
| |
| − | * Participate in the community by contributing to discussion. We also have an IRC channel where you can get to know and become part of the regulars!
| |
| − | * Adhere to the policies and practices of the Official Team Fortress 2 Wiki, including observing the style guide and the official policies.
| |
| − | Properly implement licenses on images, sounds, and any other kinds of uploads, media or otherwise.

| − | i wish i could get it. but i just have 100 edits. working on translations. and i have no idea what this means.<small>--''The preceding unsigned comment was added by'' [[User:Jem|Jem]] ([[User talk:Psychopath|talk]]) • [[Special:Contributions/Jem|contribs]]) </small>
| |
| − | : The first part means that you show ''dedication'' in your work, and you try to talk to others about your edits, on talk pages, etc. to make sure your edits are good. The second is a bit of the same line, talk to other editors! Discuss your edits with others to make sure you're doing the right thing. A wiki is useless if we don't talk together. The third is pretty simple—follow the rules as they're put in place, as opposed to going around and implementing new styles constantly. We need consistency. The final you mention simply has to do with licensing and categorising images properly whenever you upload them, so you don't leave others to go around and pick up the pieces to make sure things are licensed and categorised properly. There's [[Team Fortress Wiki:Images|more information]] about that particular topic. ~ <code>[[User:Lhavelund|<font color=red><span style="font-size: 1.2em;">'''lhavelund'''</span></font>]]</code> <sup>([[User_talk:lhavelund|talk]] ▪ [[Special:Contributions/lhavelund|contrib]])</sup> 19:59, 6 November 2010 (UTC)

| |
| − | | |
| − | [14:53] <Psychopath> Smashman, You know that people will do anything for a hat, so you give some criteria for contributions that are HELPFUL, the only way to get the hat is to be HELPFUL. The mindless spammers will become more intelligent in their conquest for said hat. Mission F*CKING ACCOMPLISHED!

| − | ==Grammatical Error==
| |
| − | Normally, I'd fix something like this myself, but it seems I don't have the permission to edit this page. The following sentence is missing a word.
| |
| − | *Our resident bot WindBOT periodically compiles a list potential candidates based on a number of rules.
| |
| − | Instead, it should be:
| |
| − | *Our resident bot WindBOT periodically compiles a list '''of''' potential candidates based on a number of rules.
| |
| − | Obviously, the 'of' does not need to be bold.

| − | | |
| − | ==Further Clarification==
| |
| − | There were a few people in the IRC who thought that only 1 person is getting a hat per week, limiting to 52 people getting a wiki cap per year. Read the final line on the page:
| |
| − | *<b>At least one</b> Wiki Cap will be distributed per week. This means the hat is accessible and regularly available.
| |
| − | That means that anyone who qualifies for a wiki cap and is "aok'd" by the staff <i>should</i> be receiving a wiki cap on that given week. I recommend the wiki cap guidelines page have that highlighted in bold or something so people stop brewing up misconceptions.

| − | ==Question No.2==
| |
| − | | |
| − | I want to know if is it needed to have the same email adress as your steam login to get the wiki cap. I have a different one here, but the username/loginname is the same. Never thought about that before, and i don't think i will get a wiki cap in the next 3month; but i would like to ask about how do you get your cap first, not that i'm afraid that you leave me out :)

| − | :If I understand the way things work correctly, you will be contacted by the Wiki staff for your steam id, it's not tied to sharing the same username, login name, nor your email address.

| − | | |
| − | To beggin with, i'm not to good at english, soo... yeah...
| |
| − | | |
| − | So i just started to translate this wiki in to Swedish, i rly want the cap. :P.
| |
| − | But after i got it hopefylly translating as long as i can, as thanks for a great, awesome game!
| |
| − | | |
| − | One thing i don't understand is this:
| |
| − | | |
| − | # Adhere to the policies and practices of the Official Team Fortress 2 Wiki, including observing the style guide and the official policies.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | And about these ones:
| |
| − | | |
| − | # Properly implement licenses on images, sounds, and any other kinds of uploads, media or otherwise.
| |
| − | # Demonstrate a strong desire to help improve and update the Wiki through useful edits and contributions.
| |
| − | # Participate in the community by contributing to discussion. We also have an IRC channel where you can get to know and become part of the regulars!

| − | | |
| − | Ive edited alot of stuff before we even know how to get the Cap, and now Im creating and translating stuff to Czech. Ive created more then 10 hat pages (And ill do more) and the main page for the Soldier and The Spy in Czech. Good or bad? {{unsigned|Hilarious Pill}}

| − | ==Wiki Hat Revocation?==
| |
| − | This has been of primary interest since the Wiki Hat first came out. Naturally, some will work at earning the hat just long enough to actually get the hat, then, once they've earned it, they'll disappear forever; given this situation, will Wiki hats ever be revoked or are they permanent? <small>--''The preceding unsigned comment was added by'' [[User:Fox McCloud|Fox McCloud]] ([[User talk:Fox McCloud|talk]]) • [[Special:Contributions/Fox McCloud|contribs]]) 21:26, 7 November 2010 </small>

| − | ::: Obviously they are permanent dude. [[User:Swordz|Swordz]] 20:29, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
| |
| − | :::: If someone were to do that, they still contributed for 2+ months for 400+ edits. If they turned around and started vandalizing the site, however, I could imagine a revoke possibly being in order. But what are the odds of someone being <i>that</i> spiteful?

| − | == A little much? ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | I don't mean to question the command here, but doesn't 400 solid edits seem like a little much? I mean, I understand dedication and what not, but I usually play TF2 more than I am here on the wiki. --[[User:Renaman|Renaman]] 03:32, 8 November 2010 (UTC)
| |
| − | :As someone who is seeking a Wiki Cap as well, I don't consider it too many edits. You also have to note minimum amount of days you have to be around to get the cap. If you just do 10 edits a day, minor, major, trivia undoes, you'll hit that mark eventually. It's meant to be something for someone who has contributed a quality and quantity amount of work to be considered someone of the community. [[User:Serg|Serg]] 03:34, 8 November 2010 (UTC)
| |
| − | ::The fact that they are given out weekly should be good justification for a solid number of contributions. There's no need for everyone who gets one to get one right away. [[User:Psychopath|Psychopath]] 03:35, 8 November 2010 (UTC) And darn you Serg, I got an edit conflict
| |
| − | :::Yes, I understand that with time the 400 edits would come quickly, it's just that I'm not sure if my edits will be considered quality. They are mostly just correcting spelling errors, such as missing an "a" in "and." --[[User:Renaman|Renaman]] 03:39, 8 November 2010 (UTC)
| |
| − | ::::To be fair, you also have to take in to consideration two things: 1)It IS a community item, and therefore is given as a reward for being a valuable contributor to the Wiki/community, so in that respect 400 seems like a more than reasonable requierment. And 2) If it was easy to get one and the requirements for obtaining the cap were a little more lax, we'd have trivia spammers left and right. (>Implying we don't have them already.) Also, quality edits don't have to be major edits like page creating or anything. They could be trivia removal and such. -- [[User:Krizzle 0|Krizzle 0]] 03:41, 8 November 2010 (UTC)
