Help with the Model Viewer.

I was wondering if anyone could explain to me how to change the colors of the hats in the model viewer aswell as adding anti alising and better quality to the class models.

I'm trying to add wanted images of the classes wearing hats.

Edit: Nevermind. I found it the tutorial on the wiki.

Achievement translation

I'm wondering, when translating achievement pages, are you supposed to translate achievements and descriptions, or leave them be and simply translate the rest of the article? Freakie 08:07, 3 July 2011 (PDT)

For example spy achievements should be translated at Template:Dictionary/achievements/spy. Putting {{Spy achievement list}} on a translated page will then show the translated achievements. --CruelCow ^(talk) 08:27, 3 July 2011 (PDT)

My question was if they should be and not how, but I get it now. Freakie 08:46, 3 July 2011 (PDT)

It depends on whether those are translated on STS or not. Descriptions are always translated, by names are case-to-case depending on the language.  –  Epic Eric (T | C) 08:51, 3 July 2011 (PDT)

Yes, I've barely just found that out. Thanks for the responses. Freakie 10:58, 3 July 2011 (PDT)

Set default "Have" status to "No" on Template:User weapon checklist?

With the influx of new TF2 players since the game has become free, I don't think it's safe to assume that everyone has all of the weapons (even from the first class updates for each class). Why not change the default "Have" status on the User Weapon Checklist to "Don't Have" since the hat checklist already follows that standard anyway? It seems like it would be more effort for the new players to mark what they don't have rather than what they do have. -ButteredToast 05:08, 5 July 2011 (PDT)

 YES! This makes a lot of sense, especially considering the fact that many of these newcomers don't necessarily know how to edit a wiki, so this would help them a bit. At the same time, it brings forth the question on how soon we would see these new players in the Wiki. Who knows? TheTimesAndQueriesOfMyAss 05:42, 8 July 2011 (PDT)

Item rarity possibilities formatting

I'm not sure where to post this, but I think that we should include possible item rarities on item pages. An example: A Killer's Kabuto can be regular or vintage, while a Samur-Eye can be regular or genuine. I think this is important, since items keep gaining rarity possibilities.. Pardon me if I'm being ignorant of something obvious here .-. Anonynja 19:04, 7 July 2011 (PDT)

The page on that topic is Item quality distribution, although I don't blame you for not being able to find it, it's not linked from too many places apart from Item quality. seb26 19:06, 7 July 2011 (PDT)

Ah yeah, I figured there might be a general page like that. My suggestion, for the sake of convenience (in viewing, not implementing..), is to add these item qualities to every item page. It could just say "Rarity: R | V | G" or something, in the same vein as Price/Tradable/Giftable. Anonynja 19:12, 7 July 2011 (PDT)

Something like that is being worked on ;D but it'll be a little while before it goes live seb26 19:15, 7 July 2011 (PDT)

Sexy. I look forward to seeing that format :D Anonynja 20:01, 7 July 2011 (PDT)

Development stages for community items

Ive been thinking, i followed and watched people on the polycount website as they were preparing for upcoming polycount update, they showed their progress throughout their experience and alot of people were really interested in it. What im suggesting is adding in pictures and information about there progress on the item page itself, Now i know that there are SOME pictures scattered over the wiki of various item progression like the Tomislav for instance, but what im suggesting is an entire section on the page called development or something. Its just an Idea and id love to hear what you think of it. Ihasnotomato

A small number of Valve made items (like the Hunstman) also have decent development histories that might be worth writing about. It's something that would require some work to put together, and not every page would need it, but it may be a good idea. Balladofwindfishes 05:27, 11 July 2011 (PDT)
