I think there is no need to include both styles, as the only difference between them is the mustache and that is not affected by paint (same with the infobox's team colors, as the mustache is not team-colored either). As such, I also think the images could be redone to showcase just the hat, making it easier to see the painted variants. - [[User:BrazilianNut|BrazilianNut]] ([[User talk:BrazilianNut|talk]]) 15:42, 2 August 2022 (UTC)

:I disagree. I wouldn't say that more examples is a bad thing.

We have also had a couple of items in the past that the paintability applies to other areas of the cosmetic, what I mean by this is that, in certain cosmetics, you have like a part colored in something, and another part with a complete different color, and the paint applies to both of these areas (examples being [[Tiny Texan]] and [[Crusader's Getup]]), people might wonder if the mustache is paintable alongside the hat, so I think having both styles with paint variants is okay here. In contrary, if we include the mustache with the hat on the paint table, but not include the other style, people might think the paintability of that style might paint the white part of the hat and not the stripes, especially because we don't put information regarding the paintability (only if the only reason the styles exist is for paint reasons).

Painted variants

I think there is no need to include both styles, as the only difference between them is the mustache and that is not affected by paint (same with the infobox's team colors, as the mustache is not team-colored either). As such, I also think the images could be redone to showcase just the hat, making it easier to see the painted variants. - BrazilianNut (talk) 15:42, 2 August 2022 (UTC)

I disagree. I wouldn't say that more examples is a bad thing. We have had paint variants for styles for simple bodygroup changes (although this isn't consistent with every page, as the Dead of Night only have 2 paint variants), examples include Lord Cockswain's Novelty Mutton Chops and Pipe and Sidekick's Side Slick. We have also had a couple of items in the past that the paintability applies to other areas of the cosmetic, what I mean by this is that, in certain cosmetics, you have like a part colored in something, and another part with a complete different color, and the paint applies to both of these areas (examples being Tiny Texan and Crusader's Getup), people might wonder if the mustache is paintable alongside the hat, so I think having both styles with paint variants is okay here. In contrary, if we include the mustache with the hat on the paint table, but not include the other style, people might think the paintability of that style might paint the white part of the hat and not the stripes, especially because we don't put information regarding the paintability (only if the only reason the styles exist is for paint reasons). Looks like the uploader got things figured out with his latest uploads (by leaving only the Medic's head as opposed to his entire player model), although I'll still mention regarding my guide and a few other things on his TalkPage later.

If there is no difference between the two styles paint-wise, I think it's better to include a little note on the bottom or top of the painted variants section that mentions something about how no changes happen if necessary. I personally think the Wiki should changes, not the lack thereof.
