::::I have reverted it back to my revisions considering the two unpainted RED images looked inconsistent with every other painted variant on the table. I suggested creating 2 new files (with the same images that show the entirety of the coat) and change the filename on the Styles section, but I would wait more people to reply to this topic before doing anything. I wanted to ask Wookipan about this before, if there's a way to fix these thumbnail issues somehow (perhaps a Wiki maintenance or something that could make the site offline for a while, like when game servers go to maintenance), because there are more cases like this in the Wiki where the thumbnail have been showing improperly months / years after upload (like [[Handsome Devil]] and [[Head of the Dead]]), usually showing the older revision instead of the newer one.

Generally, there are several Wikipedia policies that we don't follow, the disclaimer one being one of them (as we have several disclaimers about not editing in certain things, [[TFW:Editnotice|for example]]). There are also some others, such as [[w:Wikipedia:No original research|no original research]] (pretty much the whole Wiki is original research and we should consider ourself ''the'' place for TF2-related knowledge) or [[w:Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not a reliable source|Wikipedia is not a reliable source]] (as we do accept our own Wiki as citations).<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>]]) 06:23, 11 August 2023 (UTC)

== PDA disambiguation redirect ==
 +
 
 +
Hi there,
 +
 
 +
The PDA link is fine if it uses the redirect, {{tl|Disambigentry}} is designed to automatically translate weapon/cosmetic links without the use of 2 other templates. It would change the entry from the current
 +
<pre>
 +
: {{De|Construction PDA}}
 +
</pre>
 +
to
 +
<pre>
 +
: {{De|link=PDA{{if lang}}|l1={{item name|Construction PDA}}}}
 +
</pre>
 +
 
 +
The first is much more readable for translators, takes up less space, and is consistent with every other weapon/cosmetic item instance on disambiguation pages. Generally, links should be direct links in case they ever change, but the Construction PDA link will never change to another page. This redirect is also universally present due to it being a weapon, which are all redirects that have to exist for the "Item Wiki Page" buttons on both the Steam inventory and in-game Mann Co.

Dictionary pages

Hi there,

Please note that dictionary subpages should only be made by a bot.

All right. Thanks for the notice. Tiagoquix (talk) 17:39, 11 March 2023 (UTC)

Der Wintermantel

Hi there. You keep reverting the style images on the Der Wintermantel page to the older versions which is why they are not consistent. The thumbnail may appear broken when you try to go to the correct revision, however you may have to clear the cache of the page or simply wait for the thumbnail to fix itself (or maybe ask a staff member to delete and reupload the images). You keep adding to the page that they need to be consistent, however they already were consistent. Please tell me if you understand, as I do not want to cause an edit war/back to back undos.

Hello. Yes, the images are consistent, but the thumbnail issue still remains. I think the best way to solve the issue is to ask a TF Wiki staff member to delete the image and let us reupload them.
Tiagoquix (talk) 16:22, 5 April 2023 (UTC)
Have you tried clearing the cache first? Constantly reverting versions is only going to make this issue worse.
GrampaSwood (talk) 16:24, 5 April 2023 (UTC)
The problem isn't the cache. It's about server-side thumbnail generation. The image works fine, but the thumbnail does not.
Tiagoquix (talk) 20:26, 5 April 2023 (UTC)
I have reverted it back to my revisions considering the two unpainted RED images looked inconsistent with every other painted variant on the table. I suggested creating 2 new files (with the same images that show the entirety of the coat) and change the filename on the Styles section, but I would wait more people to reply to this topic before doing anything. I wanted to ask Wookipan about this before, if there's a way to fix these thumbnail issues somehow (perhaps a Wiki maintenance or something that could make the site offline for a while, like when game servers go to maintenance), because there are more cases like this in the Wiki where the thumbnail have been showing improperly months / years after upload (like Handsome Devil and Head of the Dead), usually showing the older revision instead of the newer one.

We can't really do that, it's either a cache issue or it has to be reuploaded. I can delete them for you but I'd need the correct file and which files exactly, as currently there are about 6 different revisions.

Medieval mode chat parser template

Hi there,

When making tables into templates, make sure to add translation switching, as currently the template could only be used on the English page. It is also not necessary to add __NOINDEX__ to templates, it's not a bad thing if these templates are found through search engines.
