== About the Wiki Cap ==
+
== Is it cool to make foreign articles? ==
  
−
Yes, I know this is the question you didn't wanted to hear. About the wiki cap, I just have a question about one of the criterias. I believe 400 edits is good, that 2 months is a good idea, but... "Participate in the community by contributing to discussion". I tried going to the IRC chat, and I even said Hello, but no one answered. they were too busy filling the chat with names of TF2 wiki pages.  
+
I see a lot of red links on foreign pages when I roll random articles, and it always bothers me. I made a page for the Saxxy award music in Czech, and just added the video and navigation. Not pretending to speak the language or anything. Would that be alright to do, or should I avoid it since I don't actually have information to add? [[User:SilverHammer|SilverHammer]] 05:56, 29 May 2011 (UTC)
 +
:It's not alright to do, because then the page exists and translators assume that it exists and is fully translated. Translators look for red links and translate this in priority rather than following blue links and seeing if it's fully translated.
 +
:tl;dr: Don't do that — [[User:WindPower|<span style="font-weight:bold;">Wind</span>]] 06:09, 29 May 2011 (UTC)
 +
:: Thanks for the response. I won't, and I should have waited and asked ''before'' I made that first one. I don't seem to be able to roll the edit back. I guess I can't un-make a page, huh? [[User:SilverHammer|SilverHammer]] 06:13, 29 May 2011 (UTC)
 +
:::It's alright, I deleted it; next time, simply put {{tlx|delete|Some reason to delete}} at the top of the page when you want a page deleted. Also, I highly suggest you join [[IRC]] — [[User:WindPower|<span style="font-weight:bold;">Wind</span>]] 06:15, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

: The IRC chat has a bot that details all recent changes, this is likely what was "filling the chat". With the recent influx in members, a lot of us have been very busy and haven't been chatting in IRC as much as usual. With regards to the "rule", IRC is NOT a requirement, making helpful posts on talk pages would suffice. Nevertheless, to answer your question, that rule is not necessarily a requirement, making a bunch of helpful edits and the like is enough. The reason that statement is there is that if you make a bunch of edits but never talk, we may never know what you're doing! --[[User:Firestorm|<span style="text-shadow:orange 0px 0px 3px;"><font color="#FF6600"><tt><big><u>'''Firestorm'''</u></big></tt></font>]] {{mod}}</span> 18:23, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

I do believe that there is a user who has been overlooked for the rewarding of a wiki cap.  This user, [[User:Violencejr123|Violencejr]] has made over 1000 edits and has been with the wiki for 5 months.  During this time, he has done a number of things, including a trading guide for those who are new to it, awarding wikichievements to those who deserve them, and spreading overall happiness. :)  Could you please consider him as a possible candidate?

== Well, seeing as you've made  countless edits, and you made this in  the first place... ==
  
−
I'm a new member, and I'm trying to make useful contributions, but I find that 90% of my edits are reverted, even when my edits were justified or correct. I've added sections to trivia pages that I've come back to find missing (for example, I added a "Rio Grind" reference trivia under the "Places" section on the Engineer List of References page, detailing its reference to Rio Grande and its significance to the Engineer, which has been subsequently deleted. I deleted a section from the very same List of References page for being inaccurate, and even explained its removal on the discussion page, only to find it there again today. If the information is WRONG, why is it being put back?!? I'm also a grammarian, and I've made a lot of improvements to improper syntax and grammar throughout the Wiki, and have found a lot of these reverted, as well-- even things that were blatantly wrong, where style was no question! i.e. I fixed a heading that said "Saying and Phrases" and made it say "Sayings and Phrases"; to me, this is an obvious error which I fixed. So why in the WORLD was it reverted?

:Hello and welcome to the Wiki. It's always good to see new people editing here. The Wiki does not have a "hazing process," though you have to bear in mind the risk that your edits will be reverted. I've looked over some of your edits, and you're right about changes like "Sayings and Phrases." However, looking over the history of the Engineer references page shows that you've made multiple small edits in quick succession, rather than making multiple changes in a single edit. For that, I would request that you make use of the "show preview" button, as to prevent the Recent changes page from getting clogged up. My advice would be to keep editing, and to not take anything done here personally. If you find yourself frustrated by a change someone has made, you're free to go to the Wiki IRC and ask for others' thoughts on a specific change, and why it may have been made. Please feel free to ask me or any other staff member any Wiki questions on your mind. -- [[User:En_Ex|En Ex]]  <sub>([[User_talk:En_Ex|talk]])</sub> 00:27, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

:: Yes, what happens is that I'll edit something to fix an error, and then I'll notice another error that I had previously overlooked. I understand that changes may be reverted, but really there is no justification for most of the things that have been reverted. For example, I saw the note about Rio Grind on the discussion page, and noticed it was not on the list, so I added it to the page. I even did some research to make sure I had everything 100% correct, and it's irritating to see that kind of work removed with no explanation. As for edits with grammar, etc, there is no reason for it to be reverted. Who looks at something and says "yepp, that's right. we'd better make it wrong again." As for the hazing process, that was a joke :)

Hi Firestorm, I know I've asked for your advice before, but I may need to bother you again.  Before on the [[Trading]] article, there was a {cleanup} template that marked the article for general cleanup.  I made a lot of edits and then removed it.  Can you compare the version before I started editing to the version now and see if it was right to remove the cleanup template?

Hello, can I ask why did you revert the usage of the new templates <nowiki>{{Weapon change destroys buildings}}</nowiki> and <nowiki>{{Weapon damage note}}</nowiki>?! It's the same situation as with, for example, <nowiki>{{Halloween restricted}}</nowiki>, when the same portion of text should be added to a certain number of articles (and the non-English versions also have the similar text block). Instead of copypasting the same paragraph to all those places (and correcting possible errors in all those places dozens of times if needed), it's more correct to create such a template and inject it (and correct the template only).

Maybe I don't see something important? But I really don't understand why the practice that optimizes support of software code should not be used to optimize the support of multilanguage wiki articles. The performance is not an issues, as I see it — we have articles with far more templates, and it doesn't influence the speed. It helps supporting an article, helping to correct a mistake in several places with one edit — the idea of <nowiki>{{Weapon change destroys buildings}}</nowiki> came to me when I saw FIVE gramatically incorrect edits by one russian editor in the similar places of several articles and should have fixed them several times. Once again, it's the same useful idea as with <nowiki>{{Halloween restricted}}</nowiki> template, and I hope that you will change your mind :). It would have been useful even for the English-only wiki, and for multilanguage one it's even more helpful, believe me.&nbsp;—&nbsp;[[File:Login_Soldier.png|link=User:Stormbird]][[User:Stormbird|<span style="color:#5B885B;font-size:13px;font-family:'Arial';font-weight: bold;">Stormbird</span>]] <sup><span style="background:#5B885B; color:white; font-size:8px; padding-left: 2px; padding-right: 2px; padding-bottom: 1px">[[User talk:Stormbird|<span style="color:white">T</span>]]│[[Special:Contributions/Stormbird|<span style="color:white">C</span>]]</span></sup> 23:17, 29 March 2012 (PDT)

Firestorm is a featured article candidate.
This page has been identified as possibly meeting the featured article criteria.
Please start a new discussion by clicking here.

Is it cool to make foreign articles?

I see a lot of red links on foreign pages when I roll random articles, and it always bothers me. I made a page for the Saxxy award music in Czech, and just added the video and navigation. Not pretending to speak the language or anything. Would that be alright to do, or should I avoid it since I don't actually have information to add? SilverHammer 05:56, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

It's not alright to do, because then the page exists and translators assume that it exists and is fully translated. Translators look for red links and translate this in priority rather than following blue links and seeing if it's fully translated.

Thanks for the response. I won't, and I should have waited and asked before I made that first one. I don't seem to be able to roll the edit back. I guess I can't un-make a page, huh? SilverHammer 06:13, 29 May 2011 (UTC)
It's alright, I deleted it; next time, simply put {{delete|Some reason to delete}} at the top of the page when you want a page deleted. Also, I highly suggest you join IRC — Wind 06:15, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

Is it cool if I borrow (*cough* steal) your Demoman Eyelander sprite? It's pretty damn awesome. Hojung1996 11:11, 11 July 2011 (PDT)

Oh, by the way, can you show me how to fix the sprite near the bottom of my user page? It isn't working to well for me. I want to resize it and make the background color different to match my page. — The preceding unsigned comment was added by Hojung1996 (talk) • (contribs)

Hey, Firestorm. Thank you so much for fixing the image. Right now it doesn't display correctly, but is that just because of problems that the server is having right now? Hojung1996 20:49, 11 July 2011 (PDT)
Yes, it is. Try it now though, it appears to be fixed. --User Firestorm Flame.png Firestorm 06:27, 12 July 2011 (PDT)

Hey Firestorm, I'm not really sure about where this bug I found should go (or at least I was until that guy removed it), so can you check the Jarate talk page out so this doesn't become some sort of edit war between me and him? Thanks. Hojung1996 09:18, 27 July 2011 (PDT)

Dear Firestorm...

I do believe that there is a user who has been overlooked for the rewarding of a wiki cap. This user, Violencejr has made over 1000 edits and has been with the wiki for 5 months. During this time, he has done a number of things, including a trading guide for those who are new to it, awarding wikichievements to those who deserve them, and spreading overall happiness. :) Could you please consider him as a possible candidate?

Thank you, Hojung1996 21:11, 2 August 2011 (PDT)

Deletion of a Picture

Trading

Hi Firestorm, I know I've asked for your advice before, but I may need to bother you again. Before on the Trading article, there was a {cleanup} template that marked the article for general cleanup. I made a lot of edits and then removed it. Can you compare the version before I started editing to the version now and see if it was right to remove the cleanup template?

Thank you,

Hojung1996 22:08, 1 September 2011 (PDT) once again asking for your experience.

Quote Descriptions

Terribly sorry about the recent slew of descriptions. I only added them because I noticed several other quotes on the site had such descriptions, so I decided to add descriptions to the ones that had none. I figured it was part of a wiki-wide running gag.--Omny87 21:38, 25 October 2011 (PDT)

Balloon Race revision reasons

I am sorry about keeping the article up, but the reason I created this article was that Balloon race is actually a pretty popular mod. I felt it really should have its own page due to its popularity. I think that having information on it can really help people who do this mod. So yeah, that is why I don't think it should be deleted. — The preceding unsigned comment was added by JoblessScout (talk) • (contribs) 21:23, 11 December 2011 (UTC)

One thing to note is that it is a map, not a mod. The difference is very important in this. We are considering keeping a Balloon Race map page, I will keep you posted. --User Firestorm Flame.png Firestorm 13:30, 11 December 2011 (PST)

Google Translator

Hi Firestorm, I found a guy who use google translator (Kgungh34). Even he was warned before, he still use. So I think he need to ban. But, I don't know where I can report him.. I asked Epic Eric to help me, but he said can't do it right now. Hmmm.. what should I do?

Yjy950105 20:23, 20 February 2012 (PST)

Well at the moment he appears to have stopped. He has not posted since the 16th. So it would be best to wait for now. Please let me know if he uses google translate again. Thank you for your concern. --User Firestorm Flame.png Firestorm 12:35, 21 February 2012 (PST)

"Untemplatizing"

Hello, can I ask why did you revert the usage of the new templates {{Weapon change destroys buildings}} and {{Weapon damage note}}?! It's the same situation as with, for example, {{Halloween restricted}}, when the same portion of text should be added to a certain number of articles (and the non-English versions also have the similar text block). Instead of copypasting the same paragraph to all those places (and correcting possible errors in all those places dozens of times if needed), it's more correct to create such a template and inject it (and correct the template only).

Maybe I don't see something important? But I really don't understand why the practice that optimizes support of software code should not be used to optimize the support of multilanguage wiki articles. The performance is not an issues, as I see it — we have articles with far more templates, and it doesn't influence the speed. It helps supporting an article, helping to correct a mistake in several places with one edit — the idea of {{Weapon change destroys buildings}} came to me when I saw FIVE gramatically incorrect edits by one russian editor in the similar places of several articles and should have fixed them several times. Once again, it's the same useful idea as with {{Halloween restricted}} template, and I hope that you will change your mind :). It would have been useful even for the English-only wiki, and for multilanguage one it's even more helpful, believe me. — Login Soldier.pngStormbird T│C 23:17, 29 March 2012 (PDT)

You bring up valid points. The main reason for removal was to unobfuscate the wiki; it feels like having a lot of templates for simple sentences would make the whole wiki very confusing to edit. I will bring this up in a discussion where editors may discuss this issue. Thank you for your concern. --User Firestorm Flame.png Firestorm 10:11, 30 March 2012 (PDT)
OK, I understand. Maybe one sentence is really not enough for creating a template. Could you please leave a link to the discussion here, when it appears? — Login Soldier.pngStormbird T│C 12:14, 30 March 2012 (PDT)
