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)
I feel this is a great idea! I am sure many fans would love to have the scoop on beta updates. sharingankainon 10:11, 11 January 2011 (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 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)
Neutral As long as its minimalistic and classy I'm fine with it Natemckn 17:44, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
- It doesn't snow everywhere during these holidays! -- Pilk (talk) 19:30, 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...
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. —
Moussekateer·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 =- 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)
'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?
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!
Jenkson 21:06, 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)
- EPIC. The Sane One, AKA FYI I Am Some Guy 02:31, 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. —
Moussekateer·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)
Link to Crafting
The front page link to Crafting was recently replaced by Trading. Since it's the third most popular page on the wiki, I think it deserves a place on the main page. Maybe one of the less visited links (like Administrator) could be replaced? — NVis (talk) 15:48, 12 January 2011 (UTC)
Support If it were me, I would readd the Crafting image/link in place of the Misc items one, and move misc items to where administrator is. --Nate (T | C) 16:00, 12 January 2011 (UTC)
Support Same here. Shock394 23:01, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
Click to Listen Problems
When I click on a "click to listen" under a quote, I am sent to a completely blank page just to listen to 5 secounds of audio. Can this be fixed? It is really unnecessasry.Jarhead 01:47, 20 January 2011 (UTC)Jarhead
Section links?
Uh, aren't Maps and Game Modes a little more important than Trading and Misc. Items? I don't think we need an entire major link to a section that's only got a couple items in it.
I can understand keeping Trading on the front page, but one of the other two really needs to take Misc. Items' place. And while I'm at it, I really don't think we need a Patches link when we have all the latest patches on the right. VinLAURiA 13:21, 20 January 2011 (UTC)
- What? Delete Hats? NOOOOOOOOO- If be honest, there is no amusing information about maps, because you can play on them any time. And if you don't have some hats, how do you know, how they look like? And if you want to paint it in particular colour? DrAkcel (T | C) 13:25, 20 January 2011 (UTC)
- I didn't say anything about Hats. I do however think that Misc. Items doesn't need its own major link on the front page considering there's only about a dozen of them. VinLAURiA 02:14, 21 January 2011 (UTC)
Homepage blog link
"Latest blog post: Today" link leads to the second-oldest blog post, not the latest. I would, personally, update it to just link to teamfortress dot com. --MasterOfTheXP 00:20, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
Did you know.....WHY YES I DO!
EIther its another malfunction on my side but, has anyone even taken consideration on how the "did you know?" page has been the same since last month? rather it seems to get more facts would be to go the "More" page, but change is nice as well isnt it? Gamecrazy009 21:58, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
- Yeah i think its time for change.~Awesomesauce~ 00:02, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
Random page, random language
Can't a random page be in the language to which you have the main page? There is only a small chance that you will get a random page in English!
- yes i think the random page should be in your language.tired of my random pages being in arabic.~Awesomesauce~ 00:02, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
WTF
The "latest patch" section says that the most recent patch was 2/3/11, yesterday. Today is the 13th, there has been one other patch since 2/3. Explain these shenanigans. Asdfzxc920 21:55, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
- Odd... it went away when I refreshed the main page, but then this section of the discussion disappeared. This is just weird. Asdfzxc920 21:55, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
- The wiki does not escape lag on occassions. The main page is a big offender of this, showing pages three or four edits from the latest version. Refreshing will fix it.--Focusknock 21:56, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
New blog post... now
New blog post out now (dang just some more silly community updates... T_T). Just Posting a notice. Smashbrother101 01:34, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
We have passed 10,000 articles!
Well. We made 10,000 articles now! Hope its worth it. And yes, i did the last one.... Congratulations! :D User: Ravecrib9t4 18:19, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
- Hooray! Sorry to burst your bubble but this edit was the 10,000 page. You were the 10,001st page, which is still cool. —
