Gifs

I think it'd be a good idea to replace the current example screenshots with .gif's, simply because they can so much better demonstrate how these particle effects actually look like in-game. Alternatively, there could also be a YouTube demonstration video, in a similar manner as weapons, but that's just an idea. - Selbi 15:38, 26 October 2011 (PDT)

 Support I've been wondering for a while why there weren't any videos or animations demonstrating this. » Cooper Kid (blether) • (contreebs) 17:20, 26 October 2011 (PDT)

 Oppose No, gifs are horrible. They waste bandwidth, look ugly, make the page sluggish and distracting. A video would be a better solution, but overkill in this case. ~ Ath (talk) 17:52, 26 October 2011 (PDT)

Well maybe have video links next to each effect (instead of having the video viewable on the page), or just one video demonstrating all of them? » Cooper Kid (blether) • (contreebs) 02:30, 27 October 2011 (PDT)

That was my idea, one video to demonstrate all particle effects. YouTube has the ability to link to a specific point in the timeline of a video, so there could be links for each effect on the Wiki page. Also yeah, .gif's maybe are a bad idea, but I was more focusing on the question of should there be a demonstration video for unusual effects anyway. - Selbi 07:06, 27 October 2011 (PDT)

I don't think a video is really needed for this, the images are all that's really needed. It's a much better option for the user to use itemtest instead, as that way they can see what the effect looks like personally, and specify the hat to attach to. ~ Ath (talk) 10:44, 27 October 2011 (PDT)

Actually there's already a demonstration video present on the Particle effects article. I think it might be a good idea to add it to this article too. —Moussekateer·talk 10:47, 27 October 2011 (PDT)

Possible Unusual quality items is wrong

This page really but really needs an update , I tried to edit , but really couldn't see how , for example : Unusual fast learner exists - No , it doesn't exists , who wrote this ?! and many other non-exist unusuals hats/miscs. Vaknins33 16:19, 10 April 2012 (PDT)

He's got a very good point. I have noticed Bonk Boy is missing from the list, and it is available as unusual. Some proof if needed. http://www.tf2outpost.com/search/3655003 Taser9001 04:25, 25 May 2012 (PDT)

The table used on this page has since been re-done, and is much simpler. It shouldn't be too hard to edit now, even for someone with only a basic understanding of the wiki markup. The table can be found here. » Cooper Kid (blether) • (contreebs) 04:54, 25 May 2012 (PDT)

Unused unusual effects: many many more that what's listed

Human Cannonball

Hi, the Human Cannonball has been confirmed as an available all-class unusual hat. Can someone add it to the page? I'm rather new here, and I don't want to break anything. DemanRisu 06:23, 20 August 2012 (PDT)

Halloween Effects

Is the TFW ever going to add the Halloween unusual effect hats to the list / show demonstrations of the effects? IndispensableIrritations 15:27, 28 October 2012 (PDT)

Trivia

Perhaps we should add a Trivia section. The "It's a secret to everybody" is just too good. And for those that don't understand, I'm almost certain its a reference to the Legend of Zelda. I've seen that phrase so many times its not even funny. -- Nocturne 16:09, 6 November 2012 (PST)

Availability

Is it new wiki policy to add uncrate (unusual) to availabilty part of every posisbly-unusual item? wiki.tf2.com/wiki/Crone's_Dome wiki.tf2.com/wiki/Executioner — The preceding unsigned comment was added by Axiomus (talk) • (contribs) 11:48, 17 November 2012

There is no policy, but the list which featuring all the unusuals that are available needs to be listed up wit the unusual tag. TNS 03:03, 17 November 2012 (PST)

Making effect preview images

So I finished remaking the gallery and to keep the gallery consistent in the future I'm providing the Source Filmmaker save file and the map used so anyone can add effects and keep the same exact style. http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?vyc76d78w4hd6u1 Error (Talk) (Contributions) 19:58, 5 January 2013 (PST)
