== Welcome! ==
 
Good morning/afternoon/evening (delete as applicable) fellow Wikipedian! I see that you are relatively new here so you might have some issues, concerns or questions about this grand base of TF2 knowledge. If so, please do not hesitate to contact [[User talk:Wingless|me]] or anyone else on the Welcoming Comittee via their talk page!
 
 
On the Team Fortress 2 Wiki, we have a coordinated set of rules called the [[Team Fortress Wiki:Tasks|style guide]] which defines what we should and shouldn't do. Consider it a holy book for editors. Of course, if the style guide can't answer your question, we have a whole hub of [[Help:Contents|help]] that could answer your question. One very strict rule is that observation/speculation is ''not allowed''.
 
 
If you find that none of that answered your question, please do not hesitate to swing by the [[Team Fortress Wiki:IRC|IRC]] and ask one of many editors, moderators, even administrators. One of us will have an answer for any of your Wiki editing needs. Besides that, it's an open community of like-minded players - a place to socialise and meet new TF friends - perhaps you could even drop in at the Official TF2 Wiki Server!
 
 
With such strict guidelines and speedy editors, you might be struggling to edit, replace or improve. However, we have just the remedy for this problem! Let me introduce the [[Team Fortress Wiki:Tasks|tasks list]]! It's just the place to go to find what you want to do - be it editing, improving standards, expanding stubs, heightening picture qualities, anything. Of course, if you feel that you're up to the challenge of patrolling edits, please head to the [[Special:RecentChanges|recent changes]] page where you can keep up-to-date with new edits and, thus, revert any vandals or nonsense edits/images.
 
 
And that will be all from me! However, should you wish to talk to an actual moderator, their names are in green and thus are easier to find. You can also contact them via the IRC on the channel #tfwikistaff.
 
 
Thank you for helping the Wikipedia to grow, and we hope to see great things from you! [[File:User Wingless Winged Signature.png|150px|link=User:Wingless]] 13:21, 8 August 2011 (PDT)

[[File:User Ohyeahcrucz EpicEric PT-BR.png|right|link=]] Olá December, e seja bem-vindo(a) à '''Wiki Oficial do Team Fortress 2'''! Nós, da equipe de tradução da Wiki para Português Brasileiro, gostaríamos de introduzir-lhe a alguns tópicos que os tradutores devem conhecer antes de começarem a traduzir:

:Second, use the Minor Edit button. Unless you consolidate your edits per above, there are frankly a lot of them, and being tagged as major isn't correct for them. This would, I think, place appropriate consideration on these edits and clear up the "Recent Edits" page for many users.

Hello, to update an image, you can simply click at the image (I recommend doing scroll click on the image), and go to "Upload a new version of this file" down below. You don't have to upload a totally new file for it, as you did [[:File:Cool cat cardigan.png|here]]. Also, try improving the Anti-Alias and making a better crop. The textures looks a bit weird as well. We appreciate the help! (If you need help with HLMV, be sure to visit the [[Help:HLMV]] page that we have here!

Hey there

Hi there; I see you're changing all the "[[control point]]" links to "[[Control Point (objective)|control point]]", along with some other links. You're work is good and your effort put in is huge. That's a good thing! But, you may want to simply request a filter on a bot, such as User:WindBOT. That may reduce your workload a bit. ;)

For your efforts, here's a wikichievement ("awards" users give for fun):

Hey--I was doing some editing with those redirect, and I couldn't figure out how to fix those darned picture links.

Edits made to Demoman (Competitive)

I appreciate the work you've put into this article, all of these competitive articles need help, but I would make two suggestions:

First, consolidate your edits. You seem to make a large quantity of useful edits one weapon at a time, but with the use of the edit tab on the top of the page, you could edit multiple weapons simultaneously, allowing for more consistant style, and more compacted edits.
Second, use the Minor Edit button. Unless you consolidate your edits per above, there are frankly a lot of them, and being tagged as major isn't correct for them. This would, I think, place appropriate consideration on these edits and clear up the "Recent Edits" page for many users.

Edits to Granary (Control Point) etc.

Thanks a lot for moving these away from the redirects. However, for large-scale but small-edit changes such as this, use of the Minor Edit button would be greatly appreciated. Darkid (Talk | contribs) 11:54, 1 June 2012 (PDT)

Is the Balloonicorn's custom name really in the kill feed?

"When players equipped with the Balloonicorn kill an enemy unassisted by another player, the killfeed shows Balloonicorn getting the assist. A Baloonicorn renamed with a Name Tag will show the custom name in the feed instead of Balloonicorn."

I haven't found this to be true, nor have I been able to identify any instance of this with any other players, or in discussions on forums, or in YouTube videos. Can you confirm this (screenshot)?
