Project

The project goal as stated, is to update all tournament pages, focusing on correcting the incorrect use of templates, files, and other elements, and yes, with intentional edits similar to previous ones.

• Move log
• Move log 2
• Talk:Tournament Medal#Merging medal pages

For context, I didn't start this project out of nowhere as one user suggested. I did extensive research dating back to 2013 (though some information had been blanked or deleted.), including reviewing discussion or talk pages and identifying key contributors who created or edited most of these pages. This was to understand what was done incorrectly and what needs to be fixed.

Backpack item template

• Some pages still use "Tournament Medal - x" strings. I created a specific section for this: {{Dictionary/items#Custom/Temporary}}. As we update tournament pages, these strings can be removed. Currently, they are used in the Backpack item template, as shown below:

• Note: Multiple files were created because of this.
• See: User talk:Goodjob#Please_do_not_add_.22Tournament_Medal.22_to_every_medal_string.

Painted variants template

• Most of these pages were copied from one another, resulting in the same template usage:
  • The use of the "style=" parameter, but tournament medals do not have styles. This parameter was present and documented at the time.
  • Missing "override=" parameter, which would have prevented the template using the page's title within the file name, "Tournament Medal -". This parameter was present and documented at the time.

• What happened here is simple, these were copied from a cosmetic page and adapted to the tournament page... incorrectly.

Other elements (or sections)

• Item infobox, medal designs, list of medals, update history, trivia, gallery:
  • Quoting from the project page: The diffs within pages marked with  Done are a good way to see what is being done.

Notes

File move spam

• I understand the concern, especially when viewing the Recent Changes. This is why I try to make these changes mostly at night. I've requested bot permissions (or assistance to hide these edits) for this task multiple times on Steam and IRC, but I was ignored.
• These file moves are part of the template "update" and align with the template documentation and related pages (cosmetic items).

Double redirects

• There will be (a few) double redirects, however, this is not a problem, as most of them are not used and can be fixed with a bot or script. Many of them have odd naming conventions due to incorrect template usage (and other factors.), none of these are present in tf_english:

• This is something I could also fix immediately as part of the process, but its not happening, read above.
