Seriously, please explain to me why two simple sentences explaining the basic gameplay values of an item aren't needed simply because we can go "oh why bother? Its somewhere else!". Why should the reader have to go to another page to find out how this item functions? Its basic computer philosophy mate, a user should be able to get the information on what they want as quickly and in as few moves as possible. If a user wants to know exactly a Lugermorph functions and how to use it we shouldn't be telling them to stop reading the Lugermorph one, read the pistol one and then come back. A brief summary of the gameplay measures is therefore quite reasonable on that article. Simply strutting in and going "Don't add this again!" isn't exactly helpful. -- [[User:Sabre|Sabre]] 11:07, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

: I believe you answered your own question. Redundant information isn't needed. This is a wiki, the essence of which isn't to be a site designed for casual visitors. It is a place for people to be involved in a constant process of collaboration and documentation of things that change frequently. I apologize if you got the wrong idea from other weapon pages (I just noticed someone has been doing the same thing to the other alternate texture/model pages as well) but it was decided that we will not be pasting summaries or statistics from their respective normal variant pages. -- [[User:Lagg|Lagg]] [[File:Backpack_Stickybomb_Launcher.png|24px|link=User_talk:Lagg]] 11:19, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

:Minor niggling, but it wasn't copy-and-pasted, I wrote the summaries on the Big Kill and Lugermorph pages to try to convey the gameplay information with deliberately different and more brief wording to avoid any notion of simply copy-and-pasting.

Thumbnails

Yes, the do come from the GCF. -- Pilk (talk) 17:22, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

Thought so, the aliasing is horrible. Too bad Valve can't keep up with their own updates or we could use the ones provided by the API. Lagg 23:34, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

Font

Sans-serif. Do it. -- Pilk (talk) 00:17, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

Pyro item set

I knew the slot were already specified in the table, I put them there just for recap. And also they were sorted... at least may you restore that?--Kid Of The Century 23:48, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

Done. Lagg 00:05, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
Thanks. I've also removed those info from all other pages.--Kid Of The Century 08:50, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

Page Example Videos

I have seen so many pages on this wiki showing people crafting stuff, opening crates, etc., usually rare stuff. My video shows the same thing on the Saxton Hale Mask Page, and it keeps getting undone. And I find them particularly useful and a neat idea to this site. ---[PM] ΡÖIЙ† βLΛЙҚ

The problem with videos like yours is that if we allowed one to stay all videos showing an item being crafted would have to stay as well. Nothing unique happens when crafting the Saxton Hale mask so a video is not needed. If you have seen similar videos on other pages it means we have missed them and would appreciate your help in cleaning them up. -- Lagg Backpack Stickybomb Launcher.png 23:37, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

Removing full 1st person images!

In response: I was a bit worried about that. Then I checked some pages and realized my error. Sorry, hun! I'll go around and clean up the already deleted images linked to pages before going on. --Vaught 07:19, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

/* Your Recent Edits */

This is the traditional paisley-patterned bandana. The Heavy Duty Rag is identical save for the middle pattern being replaced by TF2 logos. --Larkke 00:06, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

Paisley bandannas don't heave a gap on them, the patterns are dense across the entire thing. It might have been influenced by one but for now your trivia is merely an observation. It isn't very useful or interesting either, because most people will immediately recognize that it looks very much like the traditional bandanna. Please use show preview before making edits to a page in the future. -- Lagg Backpack Stickybomb Launcher.png 00:18, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for the reply and clarification. I use show preview before editing, but I had forgotten to add signature. --Larkke 01:07, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
