: I disagree. I think there should be a clear guideline on how a wiki cap is obtained first before we get a list. This way, the list would be the supporting data for the guideline. Second, its a test. The information gathered from the test (bugs, problems, etc) are more useful to Valve and the wiki editors than the general public.

But...won't that stop people going nuts about the new hat and making dozens of threads on various forums about it? And maybe to stop them from making pointless accounts on the wiki just for the head gear? [[User:Meower|Meower]] 19:02, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

Possible additions to the article

I was wondering if it would be worth adding that Pilk has received the Wiki Cap and is the only person to have received it thus far due to it being a test drop. This video uploaded by WindPower could possibly be embedded along with it to show the drop. At least until a shorter one is uploaded somewhere. Could possibly go in the Trivia or Distribution sections until it is revealed how to obtain the hat. I think it would be interesting for those who keep a close eye on new items and the wiki to read.

Obviusly,add that neodement created the wiki cap

Name suggestions

Well we had a description suggestion bit and I'm thinking that the current name, when compared to the other hat names, is a bit bland. Rules:

  1. Has to refer to the Wiki in some fashion.
  2. Alliteration is not a requirement, but it would be interesting as many hats include it at the moment. Up to you.

Suggestions

  • Wiki Warrior. Had to be said, don't kill me. -The Neotank ( | Talk) User The Neotank Signeotank.gif 22:35, 20 October 2010 (UTC)
  • Well some time ago I suggested those 3 new Wiki Cap names: The Captributor, The Cap Lock or The (Wiki) Service Cap... Now, I have other ideas. If you like alliterations, I can suggest: The Wiki Workers Way, The Changer Cap or The Editor's Elegance (or Editors Excellence). EDITS: The Success Indicator, The Successful Revisor, The Trivia's Terror and the Worker's Implication Kit Indicator (it makes WIKI :D). Tturbo 02:52, 22 October 2010 (UTC)
    Tturbo, I like "Editor's Elegance". Has that Gentlemannely ring to it. -The Neotank ( | Talk) User The Neotank Signeotank.gif 22:48, 20 October 2010 (UTC)
    I like that name too. It uses big words, but they actually mean something. It fits nicely with the other names..Michael 23:27, 20 October 2010 (UTC)
    Thanks Guys for liking my ideas... I'll have plenty more (one day)... Tturbo 00:08, 21 October 2010 (UTC)

"It also takes pictures in one-hundred percent jpeg quality!" --Vaught 16:36, 21 October 2010 (UTC)

The "Rightful Revision", or maybe the "Contributor's Coronation", if it's only given to higher-ups. Should come with a badge, to fully complete the "Editor's Ensemble". Wearing both makes you really cool. EDIT: "Recent Changes Captain", "The Stub Slayer", "Correctors Cap" TheMedik 17:34, 21 October 2010 (UTC)

Going to take a stab at this, how about... Writer's Writ, or Revered Revisionist's Reward? Scatmanjohn 18:56, 21 October 2010 (UTC)

  • How about "The Wickir Man", "The Wiki Man" or "The Wiki-er Man"? Basically one idea but a few ways it could be done. I will try and think up more names. Wiki Cap is nice though.

Thought of two more for the moment:

  • "Writers Cap"
  • "Writers Wiki Cap"

Getsuga Tensho 20:07, 21 October 2010 (UTC)

How about:

  • The Cosmetic Edit

With Description:

  • "This is a minor edit."

I don't know, all I can think of at the moment, maybe I'll get more creative later :P.

Bionic21 02:32, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

Few of my own:

  • Cap of Slavery
  • Wiki Warrior (with numbers assigned to each hat)
  • Educated Webman
  • Wiki Slave Cap

It's 4:33am, I wasn't as creative as I should have been.

Corkscrew 03:34, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

Nice names. Well to try out myself:

  • Wiki's Treasure Hat
  • The Wiki Admirer
  • Ye'old Wiki Hat
  • The Information Keeper
  • Wiki Contributor (the contributors name here)

Also descriptions:

  • Given to those who had the heart to edit pages and save information amongst others.
  • Made by wiki for the wiki.
  • Wikipedia's very own gift for the contributors.
