Random Page
Could it be limited to selecting the language you are using? I read English, I would expect the random page would take me to an English random page. MetaSkipper 20:18, 2 September 2011 (PDT)
Right, but the random page feature is still useless. It's roughly a 10% chance to get something in English. Any way to help? * Edit* I will bug someone if I can get contact info. Cranberry Jerk 11:06, 9 October 2011 (PDT)
Index
There are two links to Game Modes in the index, on the main page.
I suggest we poot Misc items or Team Fortress 2 Beta instead one. WatDaFok Talk me! 12:39, 7 September 2011 (PDT)
Support Well spotted. I'd go for a Beta link, the Hats section already covers misc items. » Cooper Kid (blether·contreebs) 13:15, 7 September 2011 (PDT)
A bit late, but Done. – Epic Eric (T | C) 18:49, 19 September 2011 (PDT)
New blog post
A new blog post was made a whole week ago, but the main page hasn't been updated to include it.. Shawnchi 21:27, 12 September 2011 (PDT)
Done Thanks for the reminder. Gone and updated it now. -RJ 21:39, 12 September 2011 (PDT)
Imma go Killer Exclusive on yor ass
Someone add Killer Exclusive to "Tending Topics" --ScoutKast 00:51, 14 September 2011 (PDT)
Change of terms
To better reflect this:
1.) Could the link name "TF2 Official Blog" be changed to "TF2 Official Website"?
2.) Could the "Latest updates" section name be changed to "New", or "What's new", etc. since the website uses the name "Updates" for a section of their site and I believe "New" for anything new to any section?
2.) Could the phrase "TF2 Official Blog updated" be changed to "TF2 Official Website updated", or "TF2 Official Website's blog section updated", etc.?
3.) Could the name "Latest patch" be changed to "Latest update" or "Latest update post" since the website uses the name "Updates" for a section of their site?
4.) Could "Latest news" or "Latest news post" be added since 2 of the 3 sections from the site are already on here?
Rolandius 05:12, 23 September 2011 (PDT)
- 1) Good idea.
- 2) Not sure if that suits well for a section name.
- 3) Don't think so. That part of the website still is the TF2 Official Blog afterall.
- 4) News are usually updated daily, don't have any info in the Wiki and they already are pretty straight-forward in the Website. So I disagree in this.
- 3.) I don't think they refer to it as the "TF2 Official Blog" though. It is just one of three sections on the TF2 Official Website. Are the other two sections referred to as the "TF2 Official News" and the "TF2 Official Updates"? If so, then nevermind. Rolandius 04:53, 25 September 2011 (PDT)
Trending topics
A minor note. Shouldn't "Item Drop System" under the "Trending topics" section be written as "Item drop system"? Rolandius 22:09, 25 September 2011 (PDT)
Updates
There is a suggestion for 2 new columns of the "Latest Updates". What about adding Latest Schema Update (http://git.optf2.com/schema-tracking/) and Latest Community News (http://teamfortress.com/?tab=news)? GordonFrohman 22:57, 26 September 2011 (PDT)
And yeah, there are basic topics near the trending ones. But some of them are not Basic at all. Sentry gun is a weapon and could be found there. So do Administrator. Maybe it will be more useful to replace "Administrator" with "Non-playable Characters" and "Sentry Gun" with "Items"? GordonFrohman 23:05, 26 September 2011 (PDT)
- I'd really like new Schema notifications on the front page, and it would give the non-liked "Item Server Update" parts of update history a place to link to. It probably wouldn't have to be displayed with the patches and stuff, but a little note somewhere with a small page linking to the diff would be nice. Balladofwindfishes 05:53, 28 September 2011 (PDT)
Did you know…
Does the "Did you know…" section rotate on the Main Page or does it always just show those ones? Rolandius 05:07, 27 September 2011 (PDT)
Portal Wiki
Is Portal Wiki not in the Valve Wiki Network? It seems to have a section to itself. Rolandius 05:09, 27 September 2011 (PDT)
- Well it is called the Portal "Unoffical" Wiki. --CaptainSneaky 23:42, 12 October 2011 (PDT)
YouTube Channel
Shouldn't this link be worded as "YouTube channel"? Rolandius 22:41, 27 September 2011 (PDT)
Combine OverWiki
On the bottom of the page, it shows that Combine OverWiki = Half-Life/Portal. On the left bar, it shows that Combine OverWiki and Portal Wiki as two different wikis. Rolandius 05:10, 28 September 2011 (PDT)
- That's because they are two different wikis; you'd know that if you follow the links. The Portal Wiki is our sister wiki, and the Overwiki is part of the Valve Wiki Network hence its inclusion on the banner at the bottom of the page. i-ghost 05:20, 28 September 2011 (PDT)
- Meaning there are two Portal wikis, one official and one unofficial? Because that is how it is shown right now. Rolandius 05:46, 28 September 2011 (PDT)

Intro
I think that
"Welcome to the
Official Team Fortress Wiki
the official resource for the Team Fortress series."
should be changed to
"Welcome to
Team Fortress Wiki
the official resource for the Team Fortress series."
not only because the wiki's name is Team Fortress Wiki, but also due to the phrase being redundant. Rolandius 09:01, 28 September 2011 (PDT)
Captcha refresh button?
Sometimes the captchas are not readable, and i thought a refresh button like many filehosts have, would be nice. Hope this is the right area for that. TheDoctor(without a small pic) 04:34, 29 September 2011 (PDT)
Main Page
I noticed that under 'Navigation', Main Page has recently been changed to Main page. At least I think it was recently. Rolandius 05:19, 30 September 2011 (PDT)
New Blog post
EDIT: Nevermind. Spam90675 17:54, 12 October 2011 (PDT)
Front page "Steam Workshop" link is broken
Edit: A page was made, making this irrelevant.
Front Page Read + Discussion merged, new skin bug!?
Hi, I have a small resolution and the discussion button and the read button are merged. I can see the ead from read only and it looks weird. Picture of it: Click me . Hope someone can patch that out, i love the new design! TheDoctor(without a small pic) 05:24, 15 October 2011 (PDT)
"The Demoman no longer tries to drink from a block of wood"
Under "Latest Updates", the statement "the Demoman no longer tries to drink from a block of wood" is rather incorrect, as the Pain Train's taunt was removed a while ago, in June. Additionally, now he tries to drink from the Conscientious Objector while taunting, making that statement quite confusing. —Rocket Ship BBQ talk • contribs 19:21, 19 October 2011 (PDT)
Adding misc items to the front page
There are a ton of these now. I suggest we just turn the Hats link into something like "Hats / Miscellaneous items. It'd be useful to be able to get to them from the front page. yyler (talk) 18:36, 21 October 2011 (PDT)
Agree If there are enough misc items that they get their own page separate from hats then there are enough to be linked on the front page. Okrag 18:42, 21 October 2011 (PDT)
Agree but should be named Cosmetic Items, which we should create a disambig for hats/misc. —

- I don't think Cosmetic is the proper word...this isn't the Barbie's Beauty Shop game. Miscellaneous items works just fine. Rockn-Roll
Agree Probably best to wait until the merge/no merge discussion on the Hats page is finished though. » Cooper Kid (blether) • (contreebs) 10:32, 22 October 2011 (PDT)
Agree Yea I think it's time to have a cosmetic page misc isn't as rare as it once was. @Rockn-roll Just to clarify cosmetic means appearance visualAmp32 11:53, 27 October 2011 (PDT)
Painted Weapons
Moved to Team Fortress Wiki:Discussion.
MONOCULUS and Monoculus
Shouldn't Monoculus be capitalized as MONOCULUS in the trending topics section? Zabidenu 03:30, 30 October 2011 (PDT)
You changed it and not a single word of thanks? Even a small apperication... Zabidenu 14:01, 31 October 2011 (PDT)
- Shouldn't you be thanking Moussekateer? He did it. Don't go around looking for thanks for the work that you do.
14:28, 31 October 2011 (PDT)
- Isn't its name in-game "MONOCULUS!"? » Cooper Kid (blether) • (contreebs) 05:48, 1 November 2011 (PDT)
Yes I would add the exclamation. Makes a noticeable difference. —

Random Page Button
I use the Random Page button quite a bit, (I don't know why). The problem is when I click the button, it not only goes to a random page, but a random LANGUAGE too. It's not hard to take the suffix off the end of the URL and refresh, but its still kind of a pain. I was wondering if there was any way to change this? Sgt Hailfire 10:17, 3 November 2011 (PDT)
- This issue has been brought up before and if my memory serves me well, a fix for this has been sent to Valve. They haven't implemented it yet, though. --

Hebrew Language
May we add an hebrew language to the wiki. I know I will be able to translate a lot. Atlas 11:16, 3 November 2011 (PDT)
- Unfortunately the Wiki doesn't support Hebrew yet - take a look at this. » Cooper Kid (blether) • (contreebs) 13:16, 3 November 2011 (PDT)
