In the TF Wiki IRC we have decided that we wish to play along with Valve with our main article - keep it as a "fun" classified page.  If you wish to work on the factual version of the page, you can do so [[Potato hat/factual|here]].
 
 
 
We will implement the factual version of the page either when it is ''properly'' released & named in-game.  '''OR''' if a vote on this discussion page favours replacing the "fun" page with the factual one.

Would like to continue with adding of the Rumors section. Even if it's all wrong and turns out to be something else entirely, I think the attention players have turned towards the speculation is without a doubt the most frantic I have ever seen in a long time.

== Moving 'Potato hat' article to 'classified' ==
 
 
 
I propose we move the article to 'classified', for a few reasons. The hat name in-game is [ classified ], and if we could have created an article with that name we would have. Potato hat is descriptive but it's silly as we know that's not its real name. There's 3 outcomes. Valve changes the name soon, Valve change the name after the ARG is finished, Valve don't change the name. The first I don't see happening. The second option will be a while away it seems, as the ARG looks like it won't end until Portal 2 is released. It makes more sense to keep it at 'classified' for now. Yay. nay, hay?

== Robin Walker email ==
 
 
 
It says "an email from Robin Walker has however confirmed the remaining hats will be dropped within the week of April 5th." Do we have an image to back this up? --[[User:Nihilus0|<span style="color:#F4722B ;font-size:13px;font-family:'TF2 Build';text-shadow:#e3e3e3 1px 1px 0px;">Nihilus0</span>]][[File:Backpack_Lugermorph.png‎|25px|link=User_talk:Nihilus0]]<small>([[Special:Contributions/Nihilus0|contribs]])</small> 22:40, 6 April 2011 (UTC)
 
 
 
:I added the image to the page and the source of it. I haven't been able to point to the exact post, though, but it's the good page (I think). [[User:DSylom|DSylom]] 09:28, 7 April 2011 (UTC)
 
 
 
==Light Turns Green?==
 
Hey all, I'm not 100% sure about this, but pretty damn close sure, I think I saw the light of the mining light turn green before. This was on Hoodoo, and on the head of an engineer. Does anyone know what this is about, or what it might mean? [[User:SilverForce|SilverForce]] 04:33, 7 April 2011 (UTC)SilverForce

== Image naming needs fix ==
 
 
 
The capitalisation on classified is not consistent between the normal and painted item icons, see the all-class paintable items list for example! Case-sensitive media names causing problems! - [[User:Devozade|Devozade]] 13:04, 8 April 2011 (UTC)

== Something for the Trivia section ==
 
 
 
Should it be mentioned the hat was used to uncover some glyphs for the ARG? I don't remember which maps, and the ARG wiki is down.
 
* It was never used to uncover glphys for the ARG [[User:Bpc908|Bpc908]] 00:18, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
 
 
 
== Buy now, get later? ==
 
 
 
I was wondering this: If you were to buy the Potato Sack today and not play TF2 until Friday, would you still get the hat then? Cause Portal 2 comes out tomorrow, and the article says the hat will be available until the release of Portal 2. [[User:SSFF6B|SSFF6B]] 23:09, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
 
:Yes. Once you own the Potato Sack, the hat is instantaneously tied to your account, and waits for you to pick it up. &ndash; [[User:Smashman|<font color=#507D2A>Smashman</font>]]<sub>&nbsp;([[User_talk:Smashman|talk]])</sub> 23:18, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
