Weapon Demonstration Project The Weapon Demonstration project's goal is to build a complete library of videos demonstrating the various aspects of all weapons, game mechanics, tools, and taunts in Team Fortress 2.
Anyone who meets the requirements can make a demonstration video that is needed for an item and submit the video for review, if the video meets the standard and is approved by Wiki administrators, your video will be uploaded to the Official TF2 Wiki Channel on YouTube and Bilibili. Check the section below for detailed requirements and a guide on how to make a demonstration video. You may also find the demonstration video that is needed or needs to be redone on this page. Feel free to ask any questions before starting making the demonstration on the talk page. Project reviewers: Ashe, GrampaSwood. A video only needs approval from one Project reviewer for publication. While anyone can provide feedback on anyone else's video, only the Project reviewers may give the final stamp of approval for video publication. |
Reference video Following the structure of the following videos should give you a basic idea of what is expected. Visit the Official TF2 Wiki YouTube Channel for more videos. Weapon Taunt Tool |
