Team Fortress Wiki:Archived discussions/Talk:Slender Fortress

I suggest we should state those items which ones are useful during a gameplay like the Disciplinary action for the soldier or the high five taunt or director's vision to scout around the corners. — The preceding unsigned comment was added by Kori1997 (talk) • (contribs)

State of this page

So after some discussion, I've realized that the state and format of this page is well.... extremely terrible.

This page probably needs a MASSIVE overhaul as currently, its just giant walls of text and a massive mess of a gallery. I'm bringing this up to perhaps gather input and maybe discuss a new format for this page and maybe other "Mod" pages.

Any ideas or input? Ashes (talk) 22:11, 15 January 2015 (PST)

I think the Bosses and Maps parts should be updated to contain a picture of the said boss or map, also I think we should insert a newer demonstration video, as of this is a quiet old one. And a side note, tag your posts. Kori1997 (talk) 22:08, 15 January 2015 (PST)

Before I reedited it on 17:00, 1 March 2015 (PST), the grammar was horrid, missing period and "s" everywhere. If someone wants to redo this page, please do it correctly. Dark Prelate Mohandar (talk) 17:10 1 March 2015 (EST).

Do note, Hinaomi was the one who reformatted the page, and english is their best language. So please do not be too aggressive regarding grammar and what not. Ashes (talk) 14:28, 1 March 2015 (PST)

I am currently adding to the page every day, however, it may take a while as I only have 30 minutes to do it every day. Dark Prelate Mohandar (talk) 22:32 1 March 2015 (EST).

Keep in mind that a large part of the content of the page was removed as it's not part of the default mod. We shouldn't list every single boss or every single map that's available, as the content on each server can differ, whereas whatever is included in the mod by default should be consistent between servers. The default bosses/maps/class abilities are all that should be listed, really. The rest of the page still needs a massive overhaul, as it's hardly fitting with the rest of the wiki's style, and it looks quite messy. I think that it could really do with being remade by someone that knows the mod well, and can stick to the wiki's style.

However, I'm still not really sure that this mod is notable enough to even have a page. I've just done a search for servers with "slender_" maps on Steam, and of the 21 servers I've found, only two of them had any people on them, and even then one of those servers only had 3 people on it. I personally only knew that this mod existed through edits on the page, as well. A few other opinions on this would needed before any action was taken, though. --Omolong (talk) 20:11, 1 March 2015 (PST)

You are wrong, my friend. The Lunar Republic Gaming Server runs with over 20 people all the time, and Glubbale's servers have 4 slender fortress servers, each packed with at least 10 people at a time. Another thing, most maps have Slender Man as the boss, but some have a specific boss (i.e. Weeping Angels on slender_weepers) and also have a boss such as Woody every third round.

You said?

I don't really see how I'm wrong when this is what I saw when I searched for it. While it's likely that more people have joined the servers since I looked, at the time it was correct. In your image (which would have been fine on Imgur or something, it really didn't need uploading to the wiki), there are still less than 150 in total on those servers, which really doesn't make it that a popular mod. Additionally, I'm not sure what you're trying to point out with the second bit. If it's not part of the default content of the mod, it doesn't need to be included on the page. It doesn't matter what bosses turn up on custom maps, it only matters what bosses there are on the default maps. --Omolong (talk) 20:57, 1 March 2015 (PST)

You looked in the wrong group. The servers I have on my favorites are always populated with at least 5 people. Lunar Republic and Glubbable's servers are the main groups that host this gamemode. Dark Prelate Mohandar (talk) 0:03 2 March 2015 (EST)
