Did the capitalization policy change? So now all weapons, items, etc. should capitalize every word (except 'a', 'the', etc), correct? I was a little confused by the changes to the style guide, and wanted to clarify. [[User:SylarMorgan|SylarMorgan]] 16:38, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

:::::I would disagree, because the picture for Crit-a-Cola spells it exactly that way, with a lower-case 'a'. I think you should revert the move to Crit-A-Cola. [[User:SylarMorgan|SylarMorgan]] 04:31, 3 July 2010 (UTC)

== Deletion ==
 
 
 
Hey, how does deletion work on this wiki? I'm arguing for the deletion of [[Engineer Update]] over [[Talk:Engineer_Update#This_article_is_now_useless|here]], though nobody seems to care enough to have a decent debate. If theres some kind of AFD as on wikipedia, i think that would organize arguments in a sensible way and reach a decision. If there isn't, then what? We have to convince a mod to delete it? What is the policy? Thanks. [[User:Strange Quirk|Strange Quirk]] 22:17, 10 July 2010 (UTC)
 
 
 
:You have to convince me to delete it. You haven't. It stays. -- [[User:Smashman|Smashman...]] <sub>([[User_talk:Smashman|t]] • <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.steamcommunity.com/id/smashman2004 s])</span></sub> 22:36, 10 July 2010 (UTC)
 
:Mods or higher can delete articles, so in the end, yes, one mod will have to be convinced in order for him to delete the article. But seriously, what's wrong with the article? It is not detailing the July 8th patch, '''it is detailing the Engineer Update event'''; all the stuff that was presented, how, when, in what order, what was teased before, etc. Thus, this article and the patch notes are about different things. Of course they're about related things, which is why there is some duplicated content between the two, and which why each should have a link to the other, but they are still different, time-wise, subject-wise, and a bit content-wise. The engineer update is a community event, the July 8th patch is a game update. I'd also say that, as I said, it currently looks better than a bullet point list. Of course the layout could be improved, but anyone is free to do that :3 — [[User:WindPower|WindPower]] 22:44, 10 July 2010 (UTC)
 
 
 
::Preach on! Preach on! The words of truth echo and destroy the enemies of the [[Engineer Update]] article. -- [[User:Smashman|Smashman...]] <sub>([[User_talk:Smashman|t]] • <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.steamcommunity.com/id/smashman2004 s])</span></sub> 22:48, 10 July 2010 (UTC)
 
 
 
::I outlined multiple problems. First, the article doesn't make clear that information is presented in the order it was announced, and few things mention on which day/at what time it was announced. Personally, I don't think that its important, but thats a problem with the article as it stands. Second, up until the end of the "Unannounced Information", all we have is '''exactly''' the same as the bullets on the patch page, only with short descriptions. I think this is unnecessary as well; that's what links are for. I think it just makes the article bloated. Third, the "Unannounced Information" has been announced in the patch info; I don't think it requires a separate section. Fourth, together with the last section of images ("Update progress"), '''all of this is easily available online''', directly from four consecutive posts on the tf2 blog and four large webpages of images. TF2Wiki should be collecting information for easy access (which is what its doing for the most part), not copying this much information directly. Especially the "update progress" section; that's just copying four images. What's the use? Its just taking up space, as I see it. Fifth, many pre-announcement references I think are not all that relevant. The instant teleport and repair node are things that, just like any scrapped item, didn't make it into the game, but not directly tied to the Engineer update. They should be documented at the Engineer page and at their own pages, and just maybe in a trivia section on the update page. The fact that it was planned for the Engineer update isn't that relevant. The Mac update video perhaps deserves a one-line mention on the Frontier Justice page "trivia" section. Likewise, the Upwards screenshot deserves a mention on the Upwards trivia section.
 
::My suggestion would be to get rid of everything up to and including unannounced content, shorten and clean up the trivia and references section, get rid of the progress section, and then stick everything we have left at the end of the patch page in a trivia section, if you really want.
 
::Ok, one thing at a time. First, can we agree to everything except for the "move to patch page" statement? Do you agree that the top 3 sections should be compressed to a bulleted list? Do you agree that the progress section should be deleted? [[User:Strange Quirk|Strange Quirk]] 23:26, 10 July 2010 (UTC)

::::Two more things. One: we should move this discussion to the talk page of the update; I only came here to get WindPower's attention. Two: Smashman, please, ''please'', could you be constructive and take WindPower's example? Could you please stop just saying "its staying" and <s>ad hominem (sorta) attacking me</s> bandwagoning? Why can't we have a civil discussion? [[User:Strange Quirk|Strange Quirk]] 23:33, 10 July 2010 (UTC)
 
 
 
::::Also, "staying as it is" isn't good for a wiki. Do you want us to leave the description of Thunder Mountain as "Another Payload map. A really long track." [[User:Strange Quirk|Strange Quirk]] 23:37, 10 July 2010 (UTC)
 
 
 
::::How about this? It's staying as it is, but with some expansion. It's about the Engineer Update and its progress before actual release. I put that Thunder Mountain note there, real quick like, expecting someone to expand upon it.

:::::Yes, that's fine, I was nitpicking. Of course things should happen in the article, I was just pointing out that it shouldn't stay "as it is", it should be improved, whether through expansion or deletion. Although I still would like you to be more constructive in this discussion :) [[User:Strange Quirk|Strange Quirk]] 23:46, 10 July 2010 (UTC)
 
::::::I agree with all your suggestions for cleaning it up! Except the pages part, though, there's nothing wrong with keeping them here on top of there. It's not duplicated content since the pages aren't on the Wiki (ok, they're on the teamfortress.com domain, fair enough), but they're not hurting anything. Besides, if you were to remove the images from the main list, you'd have to add them somewhere else (because otherwise no pages would use them since they're the Engineer Update images as they were on the official update page, and are not the in-game images), and the gallery section would be a good place to do this. — [[User:WindPower|WindPower]] 01:20, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

Hey there. [[User:Joe|Valve's Joe]] says he's fixed the API, so that it now correctly returns the English Strings rather than the silly thing it used to.

:::::Alright, here's the story. I recorded the deo I wanted to use before leaving to France. I recorded each frame and converted it all to JPEG's so that it fit on my Macbook's disk, and then I left, with only the frames and audio from the main demo file. So now I only have my Mac laptop (with not enough disk space on the OS X partition to install TF2), and a win32 TF2 install in Wine, which doesn't look very good (plus it's at 1440x900 maximum while my demo's frames were 1920x1080). That's why I can't record any more footage, so what I had to do was to take crude screenshots from the Wine TF2 install, and turn them into photos (add border + grain) to mask the lack of quality and to give them a reason to not fill the screen entirely. So now my intro is basically some photos dropping of the defensive Engineer, being bored with his buildings, while playing some Engineer voice clips to say he's not happy. Then the Gunslinger appears and some new photos are added, showing the offensive engy all happy with his new weapon, and corresponding voiceclip. Then it all fades out and the main demo starts.

::::::::Fine, but it'll take a while. It could be done using simple regexes, but I'd rather implement full template filters instead.

== JavaScript character insert ==
 
 
 
See the near bottom of [http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Upload this page]. I'm thinking something like this would be really helpful for us & new users, etc. This particular setup, however, makes use of an extension so it's sort of out of the question at the moment. The [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:CharInsert extension itself] is really quite simple (it seems to add just the {{code|<charinsert>}} tag functionality) so it got me thinking whether this is something that could be coded in JS? It would need to create a box underneath the edit & upload box, add some characters to the box and then make them insert those characters into the textarea when pressed. The characters themselves could be defined within the script (I'm thinking some predefined category ones or maintenance templates) I know we're already kind of swamping you with IRC bots & WindBOT & whatnot but, could you think about it still?
