Recon edit

Hi there,

Please add a source to your recent edit. Do it like this: <ref>game\client\tf\c_tf_player.cpp:L6415-6452</ref> and add a == References == section. At the bottom, but above the nav.
Replace the game\client\tf\c_tf_player.cpp:L6415-6452 with the filepath + file and the specific line(s). Also move it out of Trivia, it's not really trivia and more part of the main article.

I coudn't understand why we need to do an empty Reference section. I've added a refecence to the lines from source code. And I think it should be in Trivia section, because it doesn't related with scrapped Recon building for Engineer.

Medi gun disconnect

Hi there,

please add a source as to where you found this here (and not on the page itself). Please put the sources in the summary next time.

Creep mode

Hi there,

Could you provide any sources for the Creep page you've created? See also this page for the policies on unreleased/unused/cut content and how to reference this content on pages (Including talk pages).

The links on source code were in the article code already, like, 2 months. You want me to insert code link on every statement in this article or what? And these rules are too vague. Again, do I just need to mention once in the article that this information is from leaked source code? Fission Power (talk) 19:32, 21 December 2021 (UTC)

You need to provide visible proof. Commenting out half the page so there's nothing visible is not sufficient. Proof needs to be provided for all statements. E.g. if you claim that the code mentions control points several times, provide a reference with a few examples where they're mentioned. I've also removed some hidden stuff that was directly copy pasted from the source code, because that's not allowed.
GrampaSwood (talk) 19:58, 21 December 2021 (UTC)

It is strange to see someone requesting "visible proofs" and deleting these proofs right after. The purpose of these hidden code lines was to let people immediately know where it is from rather than investigate the code, though I even wrote the code path. That's why it's hidden. Okay, I didn't know that wiki policy forbids this, but even in hidden form? And this "provide a reference with a few examples". heeeeey, they are right in the next sentence! Only creeps can interact with control points, that's the point (no pun intended). I can address some of statements if you want this, but the article where the number of references is bigger than the number of lines would seem strange.

The proof is in the wrong form. If you link to a github repo with the code, it is proof but it's the wrong form. Like I linked in the page, direct copy-pastes from the code is not allowed. It's forbidden because Valve told us this is the only way we are allowed to document this kind of stuff. Even in hidden form, hence the emphasis on only. If you hide these references, they're not provable to everyone which is largely the point of it.
GrampaSwood (talk) 21:21, 21 December 2021 (UTC)

Okay, I just checked Raid Mode page and haven't found ANY links to source code, despite of having pretty much the same kind of experimental content. So there's logical question: why you even requested links in the article? If you just wanted to check this information, you already could see links to source code.

Bounty edit

Hi there,

First of all, copying an entire page 1:1 is not really something we want, it should be rewritten to fit this Wiki. For example, the first sentence makes the game modes bold rather than linking them, as well as using wording that's more casual than that used on this Wiki. Furthermore, right after the lead is straight-up leaked code, which you've already been told not to do in the past. Neither of these 2 tables also fit the Wiki's colour scheme or general table style that can be seen on any page containing a table. The page also contains quite questionable grammar at times, as well as completely lacking a "references" section.

All of this makes it very clear to me that there was no effort put into this page besides copy-pasting, which means it is a bad edit and undoing the entire thing was the right choice. Please redo the edit with the changes mentioned above, or at least some kind of effort put into the information.
