− | Hey, although I'm glad to see people translating wiki pages into Dutch, you really should pay more attention to basic grammar - you're getting basic verbs wrong in some of your translations. [[User:Sleepybird|Sleepybird]] ([[User talk:Sleepybird|talk]]) 04:43, 9 January 2019 (UTC)

| |
− |
| |
− | Hey, er zijn een hoop pagina's waarvan de Nederlandse vertaling barst van de spelfouten, niet alleen de pagina's die door jou zijn vertaald. Het meest voorkomende probleem is volgens mij dat veel woorden die aan elkaar zouden moeten staan los worden geschreven: ik heb vandaag de pagina van de Gemuteerde melk verbeterd, waarin herhaaldelijk 'brood monster' stond in plaats van 'broodmonster'. Bijvoeglijk naamwoorden staan los - 'eng monster' zou wel los moeten staan - maar vaak zie ik foute spaties in zelfstandig naamwoorden. Ook had ik in het artikel dat ik van jou had verbeterd, die van de Millenial Mercenary, wat werkwoordspelling verbeterd. Derde persoon enkelvoud in de tegenwoordige tijd heeft natuurlijk geen stam + d. Kijk hier nog even naar: https://wiki.teamfortress.com/w/index.php?title=Millennial_Mercenary/nl&diff=prev&oldid=2386201 [[User:Sleepybird|Sleepybird]] ([[User talk:Sleepybird|talk]]) 15:46, 9 January 2019 (UTC)

− | == Smissmas 2018 Nav ==
| |
− |
| |
− | Sommige Smissmas 2018-voorwerpen hebben Nederlandse namen, ik ben ze aan het updaten. Weet jij toevallig hoe de nav onderaan de pagina's kan worden geüpdatet? Die geeft namelijk nog steeds de Engelse namen aan. [[User:Sleepybird|Sleepybird]] ([[User talk:Sleepybird|talk]]) 17:28, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
| |
− | : Als het goed is dan word de nav geüpdatet via de dictionary (https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Template:Dictionary/items, deze link gaat naar de pagina met alle voorwerpen), je moet alleen wel met CTRL + F de Engelse naam opzoeken. (De Dictionary word ook gebruikt voor de <nowiki>{{item name/link|voorwerpnaam}}</nowiki>. Dat zorgt ervoor dat de naam automatisch vertaald word).

| |
− | Hi, [[User:GrampaSwood|GrampaSwood]].
| |
− |
| |
− | I added a note about speculations about the [[Shutterbug]] being a reference to Meet the Robinsons to the Trivia section because ''three different people'' have done it ''four times'' already. Considering the article is barely over one month old, I thought that was enough times to warrant a note, like how the [[Hound Dog]] has a Trivia note saying "Let readers make their own connection between the yellow painted Hound Dog and Johnny Bravo", and decided to add the Observer to the note as well because I saw that as a potential item for people to add multiple times too.

These are the templates used on the page, here you will just have to find the template's name (In this case, Soul Gargoyle Ranks and click on it using your mouse's scrollwheel (This opens it in another tab). Now, click on edit and scroll down again, you should now see there's the whole list of dictionary entries (<b>DO NOT EDIT THESE INDIVIDUAL PAGES</b>). This means it's done via the dictionary, otherwise it's done via the template itself with translation switching.

| |
− | I think your removal of my trivia was unjustified, since it had evidence to corroborate it. There was a a splash of speculation but look at [[:File:Scout_Holding_Nailgun_Trailer_2.png|this image]], then look at Illustrative Rendering in Team Fortress 2's silhouette section. It's some evidence that the Scout was using the SMG model as a Nailgun placeholder. Mind you both Trailers 1 and 2 were made in SFM (then called IFM by VALVe), but it's something. I hope I can convince you with this evidence.<br>

− | :This doesn't mean that the SMG was the world model for the Nail gun. We don't get to see Scout's first person perspective in the first trailer, so there is no way to know that it's a placeholder (world)model. The most likely thing is that it's most likely just a whole different weapon that was later given to the Sniper. Unless there's some source directly from valve specifically stating that the SMG was a placeholder model (I don't think you'd put it in a trailer if it was a placeholder), it's speculation. Spy lost his tranquilizer gun too, but it isn't necessarily a placeholder for his Revolver. (Nail gun might've been moved to Medic as well, but with a different model).

The ::leaked coded corroborates this as it has seperate (albeit useless code) relating to it. Instead of a revolver, Spy was presumably meant to have a silenced pistol.

− | :: Various players/editors are exposed to different subcultures of the game, so personal experience is not the only rubric to apply. Thus, glossaries and disambies can serve both novice and expert players (you proved the latter). "Cap" in this sense seemed to come from the Community and Valve picked it up. If cap was much used in this drop limit sense ''unadorned'' with the words "daily", "weekly", and "item", it is impractical to verify. It may not matter any more, but we haven't made a practice of removing obsolete terms from glossaries and disambies as they are found still to be found in searches of discussion archives. It is a (more or less) key game mechanic and is adequately covered in the Idling page. Certainly, much less relevant terms can be found living long, happy lives hidden in disambies. If added back it should be in the form I suggested above.

Yes, it is possible to draw a random hat and have it closely match a historic icon, but not reasonably possible. Also, yes, an email from the modeler would be appropriate ''if posible'', as the guide says. But what if the modeler is mistaken. Suppose, I am speculating here, the modeler is mistaken in good faith claiming that their model is '69 version and Valve accepted it on that basis, when in fact the model is '88 and therefore out of period for the game. (In that situation, there is both factuality and notability in the Trivia.)

Here I have been prompted to know there is such a thing as the VDV, I would much rather have a link in either the Lead or the Trivia to the history of the specific model, because my search only finds today's uniform. It would seem strange that Valve would approve it if it was not a 1970s or earlier historic artifact. Part of the maker's business model of the model is that it is a historical reference. Knowledgable members of the community have recognized it as VDV as a purchase point. Unknowning members are edified by the OP's contribution.

| |
− | I have some recollection of more of a conversation, but I cannot find it. IIRC, my argument was that the positioning of the skeletons was curious at best, but definitely suggestive of something, if not the scene in Titanic (but yes, it could be something else). Attributed to EmNudge was that those skeletons were nothing more than an accidental residue of some mechanic intended for the map, but was completely removed for causing too many game running problems, except for those skeletons just lying there, meaning absolutely nothing.

| |
− | As for documentation of references and/or bases of items, I have had many thoughts over the days.
| |
− |
| |
− | I acknowledge that Trivia stating that the creator had a specific model risks some decree of speculation. I get that it is [[Help:Style guide/Trivia#Guidelines for trivia|preferred]]/[[ User:GrampaSwood|acceptable]] to have a statement from the creator, say an email or Workshop statement. However,
| |
− | * generally, what is said in the Workshop is ''erzat'' for the wiki, isn’t it?
| |
− | * an email? that’s not an official Valve publication.
| |
− | * and it is potentially possible, if rare, for the creator to be mistaken about the identification of the basis for their model.
| |
− |
| |
− | I tend to favor placing identification of the basis in the lead, where it is acceptable to place ''obvious'' descriptions, like "a hat shaped like a large yellow banana" for the [[Potassium Bonnett]], but the only "proof" we have of that (that it is indeed supposed to be a large yellow banana, since our eyes can be fooled and our memories mistaken) is statements in the Workshop, which, ironically, are generally discounted in other cases. We say, '"Mannanas" is a portmanteau of "Mann" and "bananas"'. Is that not at least a small sliver of speculation? On the [[Mannanas Hat|brand emblem]], the name is in two words "Mann" and "Nanas"; and ''nanas'' is a [https://educalingo.com/en/dic-ms/nanas Malay word for pineapple]. Surely, Valve meant bananas, not pineapple, right? That can’t possibly be speculation? Then, why is there a pineapple in [[:File:Poopy_joe_banana_sticker.png|Poopy Joe’s bugle]]!?!?
| |
− |
| |
− | As to the identity of the '''Fat Man’s Field Cap:
| |
− | * It has some resemblance to [https://www.pinterest.com/pin/326370304223193067/ one type of WWII Soviet field cap]
| |
− | * Maybe a [https://www.ebay.com/i/123884054038?chn USSR Soviet Army '''Afghan''' Hat?]
| |
− | * Maybe this [https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/afganka-soviet-cap-russian-m69-motor-1860284984 Afganka, Soviet Cap, Russian M69?]
| |
− | * The set was excitedly popular with many users that recognized the specific models (or maybe assumed they did)
| |
− | Maybe ''real expert'' is needed to properly identify the cap.
| |
− | All of that said, I really think that the Lead should ''at the very least'' say "Soviet-era military field cap".

− | So, about that Badlands stuff. I saw your message. In short, I will mention your page in a subdirectory, but I will not delete it. I've already created such subcategories in 2fort and Dustbowl, so there is no point in deleting these posts. Plus, I haven't seen your page at all, because it is not even mentioned anywhere. So, let it be as it is.

I started contributing today, and I'm trying to adhere to the styles and templates laid out as faithfully as possible. If there's any advice you'd like to give me, I'm glad to use any of it. If not, just want to say thanks again for your help. Hope I see you in recent changes often!

− | Hi,
| |

| |
− | Here's gameplay footage I captured of myself just now, unlocking the Worth a Thousand Words achievement by using Taunt: Square Dance with a Shotgun out. (Last time it happened it was with a Panic Attack, so I imagine it's the same with any Soldier weapon that has a 21-gun salute taunt.)

− | == Bot Support on Maps ==
| |
− | I would respectfully disagree with your removal of the note about bot and Navmesh support from [[Hassle Castle]] and [[Moldergrove]]. While players can make their own navmesh, that requires <code>sv_cheats 1</code>, whereas maps which include support do not require cheats, and therefore support achievements and statistics gathering. With Valve's refusal to deal with casual mode bots, myself and many other players have turned to private servers to play uninterrupted with friends, and need bots to fill out a team. When only three of the four Scream Fortress maps support bots, I feel it is worth distinguishing which. [[User:Sgtketchup|Sgtketchup]] ([[User talk:Sgtketchup|talk]]) 21:33, 3 October 2020 (UTC)
