Greetings. What is the Wiki's official policy regarding article standardisation? For example, maintaining a consistent structure on all weapon articles down to the wording, etc? I have attempted to standardise a number of articles in this way, but a number of those changes have been reverted (which is fine). The problem is though, with the changes reverted the articles have minor (and probably to 99% of people, unnoticed) differences. How much standardisation does the Wiki need, i.e. how obsessive should we/I be? An an example, juxtapose the first line for each of the Heavy's four Primary weapons ([[Minigun]], [[Natascha]], [[Iron Curtain]] and [[Brass Beast]]). One has "...for the [[Heavy]] class", while the others have "...for the [[Heavy]]". Which is preferred and does it matter if they do not match?

A "Latest Beta Patch" Tracker for Front Page

I feel that it would be a good idea if, on the front page next to the "Latest Patch" and "Latest Blog Post," we had a link to the archive of the beta patch notes as soon as Valve begins pushing patches through in the near future. Besides, there's quite a bit of extra space there, and I feel quite a few people will come looking for it inevitably. Kanosea 10:37, 4 December 2010 (UTC) I suppose beta updates also show up in TF2 news, no? Strobe 10:41, 4 December 2010 (UTC)


Holiday Theme

Even if nothing for the holidays comes out for the game, anybody else besides me for or against maybe a little holiday background, maybe some snowflakes or something? Just to brighten up the place for the holidays :D --EvilDeadFan Pyro Blue Big.jpg 17:37, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

We have the official christmas cards to work with, and Pyro, Heavy and Scout all have winter themed hats. I think a nice banner could be made, but that's just my two cents Balladofwindfishes 17:41, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

What if we Christmas'd the TF2 Wiki logo? Scalene 16:12, 5 December 2010 (UTC)

(Thanks dude for your help, now I know how to play Poker because of how great you've been to the world) --The preceding unsigned comment was added by Tommy Vercetti (talk) • (contribs)

i think that'd be very cool. ~~Awesomesauce~~

Great Steam Treasure Hunt Hats

http://store.steampowered.com/treasurehunt (Scroll down, it'll be the section titled "You want hats too?")

Could someone add this to the news section? Satorifan 00:42, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

Blurred Hat Pictures

I've noticed how the loadout, store, and catalog pictures for the Vintage Merryweather, the Carouser's Capotain, and the Horrific Headsplitter are very blurred. Also on the list of servers, the pictures for the official maps Watchtower and Pipeline are blurred too. When might this be fixed? Jarhead 01:42, 8 December 2010 (UTC)Jarhead

Should there be a mouse guide?

I noticed there are guides for IRC and other not so TF2 related guides. Many people do not have much knowledge on how to use a mouse well in TF2.

Should there at least be a link to an outside article somewhere in the wiki for users who want to know what Raw Input and other mouse are?

new update

there was a new update with the killing floor pyro stuff...


Twitter

I do believe there should be a link to the official Team Fortress Twitter page. -- Tarun 20:52, 14 December 2010 (UTC)

I agree. We're working on something. —User Moussekateer signature sprite.pngMoussekateer·talk 20:53, 14 December 2010 (UTC)

Banner/link for Australian Christmas

Similar to the polycount and scream fortress, i made a banner not the best. im working on a better one but for the time being i think this is nice! If allowed, i would like it up on the main. -= M-NINJA Burger Gib.png =- 04:17, 18 December 2010 (UTC)

  • I think it should have the Christmas background from the page on TF2 blog. Z Overlord 09:41, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
    • I made this, hope you like it. Octocat 10:35, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

'Patches'

Don't you all reckon that it's time to move on from that old Horseless Headless Horsemann picture plastered onto that link? Maybe update it for the December 17th update? Redo 07:50, 18 December 2010 (UTC)

And change it to the Australian Christmas with the father and son, could work Darkstar516 22:10, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

Recreate the "Index" icons with the stamp border?

Main page button Crafting.png vs Backpack Stamp Watchtower.png

The stamp will of course be rotated 90*, and we could just Photoshop Watchtower out and put whatever we like in. Do you guys think the stamps would be more fitting? I'll make a mockup later - if nobody beats me to it. ;).-RJs 22:04, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

I don't know. It seems fitting now because of the current update, but novelties may wear off eventually. At least the current one fits in with no particular update.Darkstar516 22:18, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

I think it's unnecessary to change the borders, they're ok as they are now. Real alien 10:16, 26 December 2010 (UTC)

New Latest Updates Box

I like it. Good work. CANPoo 00:34, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

Weapon Demonstration Videos

I see not all of the weapons have a "weapon demonstration" video. I can do some of them to help ease the burden if need be. Zippy 02:34, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

Take a look here. Team Fortress Wiki:Weapon Demonstration - LingoSalad (talk) 02:39, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

More than yesterday???

On the front page, it lists the patches and blog additions as being "Yesterday" on January 3rd. As of now, it's January 6. Fix?

Edit: Not more than a second after my post, the dates have been fixed. Great work, guys!

Sounds like your browser was loading from cache. It works it out automatically. – Smashman (talk) 21:17, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

UPDATE FOR BETA

dont know how to add one, but one is out

DEMOPAN

Check the trending topics. He's got us.

Don't fix it, folks. SnowCanary 02:23, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

MEET THE DEMOPAN The Man with No Name 02:32, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

OH U GUYS Untouch 03:19, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

This is a joke or what is this shit? Jag Gentleman 11:06, 7 January 2011 (UTC)
Search it on youtube, it's a meme. Shock394 23:54, 7 January 2011 (UTC)
I know this meme, but I think that is stupid to put it in the official wiki.
Agreed we need to get rid of this Demopan shit on the front page. CidTheNinja 00:29, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
They add what the feel they want to add. Shock394 04:36, 8 January 2011 (UTC)

What the Heck..

are "My Stout Shako" and 2 Refined doing in the Trending Topics in the main page? What are they for? Mardamien24 05:03, 8 January 2011 (UTC)

Did you read the conversation above this? It's a bit of fun. —User Moussekateer signature sprite.pngMoussekateer·talk 05:07, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
It is just a F*!$#&^ distraction for me and it lessen the real items that are really trending. And besides, "Demopan" meme is already trending. --Mardamien24 08:11, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
