Should there be some tips for promotional items? Like "Don't be intimidated by the Spy's Big Kill, it shares stats with the standard revolver" or "Rumor has it, a few lucky people managed to get a wrench that lets them turn people to gold!"

Is the Wiki officially tasked to create a list of useful tips? Will the tips be loaded from the Wiki when the map loads, or will they be copypasted in a text file in the gcf and then rot away to obsolescence like the previous ones? — Wind 07:02, 30 January 2011 (UTC)
- I asked Robin about the wiki revising them and he liked it, but he obviously holds veto power on tips he doesn't like. They will be copypasted and rot. ;) ~G-Mang (T|C) 07:06, 30 January 2011 (UTC)
- Do we get the Steam forums involved in this? This would be a great attraction for users to sign up for the wiki, but one can only imagine the untold horror tips that will be unleashed D: —

- I don't think we should keep it a secret or anything, but I'm wary about advertising it on SPUF. Doing so will increase the number of submissions, but considering the "takes all kinds" nature of the forums the average quality of the tips would plummet. It would mean more work for us to moderate these tips and more work for Robin in the even that we miss some of the atrocious ones. I guarantee that people will jump at the opportunity to have their words in the game, but not everyone's words are exactly of the highest standard. A good comparison might be to the hat description contest. Consider the number of submissions there were for that, then consider how many of them were likely quickly dismissed for being poorly written or inappropriate. Now imagine that we were the ones that had to sift through them. There are undeniably some good, intelligent people lurking around SPUF but the forums hold a certain reputation for a reason. --

I'm assuming translation is on hold until we have the English tips in a final, submittable state? seb26 [talk] 07:14, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

Tips for Promotional items?
