* Ammo section needs to be hidden for melee weapon unless any of it's parameters are defined (the Sandman has 1 ammo for example).
+
== Craftable tag ==
* No need to support {{code|name-override}}, {{code|NAME}}, {{code|name}} and {{code|title}} at all (i.e. pick just one). We should stamp that out so we don't have to do it all over again.
 
** Also only need two different parameters that deal with the name, as you noted {{code|loadout-name}} that includes things like {{code|the}}, {{code|der}}, {{code|el}}, {{code|la}} etc. and {{code|name}} for cases where there page name != item name (e.g. all language pages)
 
* Document what the trade/paint/craft/rename parameters do by default (I guess this will come with extended documentation)
 
* How are we defining the tradability of stock weapons? Are they untradable because they aren't accessible by default? Or are they tradable because they can be renamed and then traded?
 
* {{tl|Class name}} in conjunction with {{code|used-by}} to solve the same issue that was solved with slot names.
 
* Does {{code|backpack-image}} need support?
 
These aren't criticism, just immediate problems that need solving that I am sure you are aware of anyway. Your work is excellent and invaluable! -- [[User:Pilk|Pilk]] <sub>([[User talk:Pilk|talk]])</sub> 12:31, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

There seems to be quite some confusion around the "Craftable" tag, I propose we change it to "Usable in<nowiki><br></nowiki> Crafting". Although this may not work in all languages.<br>[[File:BLU Wiki Cap.png|20px|link=Wiki Cap]] | [[Help:Group rights|<span style="color:green;font-family:TF2 Build;">s</span>]] | [[User:GrampaSwood|<font color="DB9C1F">GrampaSwood</font>]] ([[User talk:GrampaSwood|<font color="DB9C1F">talk</font>]]) 12:14, 23 August 2023 (UTC)
:* That's a good idea, I'll work that in.
 
:* I added them in case somebody tries to add a display title /after/ we parse the pages. I will still change all instances to 'name', however. But this is just a little backwards compatibility.
 
:* {{c|Done}}.
 
:* This is an issue I'm leaving to others to decide, as I don't believe a solution within the template is the best idea when you consider user friendliness and technical workability with translation switching. There are so many variations that it's impossible to define within the infobox.
 
:* I'm not sure. I was planning on leaving 'used-by' as a simple text parameter as there wasn't any need to categorize or anything so no switch was required. It's certainly possible to have it as: "{{code|1={{!}} used-by = scout}}" and then autotranslate through the class name template, but when you consider it, most users translate the link already (i.e. {{code|[[Scout/ru|Разведчик]]}}).
 
:* I can't think of any circumstances where 'backpack-image' would need to be used, as all the backpack images have been uploaded to file names matching the page names. User pages, etc, can simply just use a file redirect. I'll be phasing it out anyway when I parse over pages.

::Valve launched a contest to add descrption to hats. So now some hats have two contributors: one for the model and one for the description of the hat. For example, the Bloke's Bucket Hat: AAA_BATTERY is the contributor of the model and Reclaimer077 is the contributor of the description (ie Gone Snipin'.) --[[User:Giraf|Giraf]] 10:08, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

I'm going to suggest that since this template already performs automatic categorization for [[Primary]], [[Secondary]] and [[Melee]] weapons, that this be extended to automatically categorize weapons into <nowiki>[[Category:Stock Weapons]]</nowiki> and such too. I think it could easily be done using the Availability parameter. [[File:Infisig.png|60x60px|link=User:Infi^|Infi^]] {{adm}} 22:08, 4 December 2010 (UTC)

Heya folks, as I mentioned earlier in this discussion, I've been working on a custom tooltip component. You may test it out here [[User:Wookipan/Sandbox]]. It works on mobile, too, and I've made sure that tooltips with links in them become unclickable on mobile devices, which instead adds a little link icon (with the link) inside of the tooltip's contents, as mobile users can't exactly "hover" over elements in the same way as with using a mouse and would instead be directed to the page. '''Note:''' if it does not work, try refreshing the page a few times until everything seems to work properly (this is due to cache issues because of how the code is executed on userpages).
  
I think it would make sense to add a tag indicating whether a weapon is usable in Medieval Mode. Thoughts?

I've also added icons for the item infobox labels.
