Team Fortress Wiki (formerly and founded as TF2 Wiki) was created by Nos in October 2007. Its goal is to provide Team Fortress 2 players with information that they will find useful to further their understanding of the game.
In June 2010, the wiki and its content was moved to a new server hosted by Valve, and became the official Team Fortress Wiki, covering everything related to TF2 and its older siblings Team Fortress Classic and Quake Team Fortress.

What is a wiki?
See Wikipedia's article on what is a "Template:W".
- A wiki is a collection of web pages designed to enable anyone who accesses it to contribute or modify content, using a simplified markup language. Wikis are often used to create collaborative websites and to power community websites. For example, the collaborative encyclopedia Wikipedia is one of the best-known wikis.
How to get started and where to find things
- Those links on the left under "Navigation" are the way to find your way around.
- First check out the Main Page, it tells you what's new and has useful links.
- Try the search box! It is quite useful, though you can always search within the Wiki using Google.
- If you are bored you can always check out a random page!
How to edit
This is a wiki: a cooperative and informative website that anyone can edit to make it better.
To edit a page you have to first sign in, or if you haven't created an account yet, create one.
The Team Fortress Wiki, like Wikipedia, utilizes the wiki markup to format a page. For example: Entering any text between two equal signs creates a title. Wikipedia has a cheat sheet designed to help newcomers. You should also check out the tutorial for the very basics.
We also have a manual of style which you should follow, this gives guidelines on the way you should format pages.
