Hello, Jestie!

Welcome to the Official Team Fortress Wiki!

Here are a few links to get you started:

  • If you're not too familiar with editing wikis, you might like to start with Help:Editing.
  • If you already are familiar with wikiediting, you might want to try Help:Style guide.
  • Recent Changes will let you see others' contributions as they happen.
    • To make Recent Changes more useful for all users, remember to provide an edit summary in the "Summary" field before you save your changes.
    • You can set the wiki to prompt you for a summary in your preferences.
  • When posting on an article's Talk page you should add four tilde symbols or ~~~~ onto the end.
    • This will add a signature and timestamp to your comment so others can easily tell who posted it.
    • Any new sections on an article's Talk page should be added to the bottom of the page and not to the top.
    • When editing normal article pages, don't sign your contributions.
    • You can use the Signature Icon.png button in the editing toolbar to quickly add a signature.
  • If you have any questions or need any help, please feel free to leave a message for a staff member.
  • If you have trouble with anything on the wiki or you're not sure about a specific topic, feel free to join the IRC.
  • You can also customize your user page if you like.
    • When uploading images for use on your user page, please add the prefix User Jestie to the file's name.
    • Additionally, if you would like to add any self-made content to the wiki, please do so by adding the prefix User:Jestie/ to the page title when you create the page.

Once again, welcome to the Team Fortress Wiki!

Did you know facts

Hi there,

Please see this page for the rules to Did You Know... facts, the fact about Pyro was featured before and the fact about the Huntsman is considered a bug.

It's vs its

Hi there,

Please note that "it's" is short for "it is", while "its" means it's possessive (for example, "its car").

My bad, haha. I was debating on which one to use and my brain failed Payn (talk) 23:13, 13 August 2023 (UTC)

Bugs

Hi there,

Please see the guidelines on Bugs, as new bugs (or fixed bugs) should have some kind of proof attached. The only exception is for bugs mentioned as fixed in the patch notes.

Undoing edits asking for proof

Hi there,

Please don't undo edits asking for proof telling someone to test it themselves, as the whole point of it is that those people need to provide the proof.

User images + user page

Hi Payn,

Please add "User Payn" in front of any file you intend to use on your user space, for example "User Payn Profile Picture.png". There is no need to upload the image again, I have already changed the file's name.

Also, I don't mind if you take anything from my user page. If you need help with anything, feel free to ask.

Super magic CSS powers

Heyo, Congrats! Now that you have super magic CSS powers...a couple of things that are useful to know. Anything in common.css will only be visible to you and applies to any page on the wiki. If you want something on your userpage to be visible to others that should go in Page.css. If you're looking to get started and want to change the wiki logo and stuff feel free to steal from my common.css. I've got the wiki logo, login icon and a few other things all birdified. Also another handy thing is that you can use your browser's develepor tools to test out style changes in real time instead of having to make a new edit and test every single change. Anywho, good luck and look forward to seeing the results Mediarch User Mediarch PFP.pngTalkMy Edits 04:36, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

Wow, thanks Medi! I'll be sure to keep this in mind, gotta impress Tark with the funny stuff I'm planning on doing. One thing in particular is transforming ALL of the text on my page to comic sans, but idk haha. Thanks again, very awesome :) — payn.

Demonstrations

Hey Payn, I've got all the missing demonstration videos handled. I already have a list and I'm currently working through it. I should have them all cleared tonight so you can leave it to me. Mediarch User Mediarch PFP.pngTalkMy Edits 01:08, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

That's fair enough, I'll work on making sure every language page has 3D views, since I've noticed some have them missing. Cheers — payn. Beggar's Bazooka.png Talk Speech voice.png Contribs Market Gardener.png 01:09, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
That works, be carefull though because the buttons on the 3Ds neeed proper translations and you shouldn't really add them unless you know the proper words to use. If you aren't sure what words you should just leave it to the translators Mediarch User Mediarch PFP.pngTalkMy Edits 01:16, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
Oh no, I mean just making sure the actual things are there in the first place. Besides, I'm pretty sure there's language switching with the template so there shouldn't be much of an issue, I won't be translating them myself and if there's any issues I will notify someone on the IRC. — payn. Beggar's Bazooka.png Talk Speech voice.png Contribs Market Gardener.png 01:18, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
The template has language switching for some things but not all things. For example you added the 3d view to the /ar Shortstop page and it the buttons say Festivized. "Festivized" in Arabic isn't Festivized and that's the kind of thing I'm refering to when I say that the buttons need proper translations. Same goes for "Default". Mediarch User Mediarch PFP.pngTalkMy Edits 01:23, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
I see, my apologies. I saw brackets underneath that had Arabic underneath, so I assumed they said Festivised Red, or something along those lines. Will keep this in mind as I go onwards. I think for now I'll just set the groundwork for the translators to go off of, as I think this is an issue with the actual template not having proper translation switching for Arabic. I'm not sure there are any active Arabic translators anymore, so I think for now I'll make it easier for them to easily make changes to the actual item infobox template and have it all just automatically switch to the translated version. This, for now, is to just make the Wiki a little bit more consistent between pages. Again, thank you Mediarch. — payn. Beggar's Bazooka.png Talk Speech voice.png Contribs Market Gardener.png 01:28, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
Oh, Arabic's a deprecated language. That explain it, at least the 5 Arabic browsers of the wiki will get to see the cool festivised 3D views at least???? — payn. Beggar's Bazooka.png Talk Speech voice.png Contribs Market Gardener.png 01:37, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────Yes Arabic is deprecated, I was mostly just using that edit as an example. If you were to look at the source for say...the spanish Scattergun page, all of the buttons are named manually. There is no dictionary enty for any 3D button names at the moment. The template currently has no way of automatically switching those names for any language which is why I would be very hesitant to add them unless I knew for certain that I had the correct names. I think it's better to have no 3D view than have poorly translated 3D views that might not get updated for a long time. What you could do, if you want to set the groudwork for the translators, is put all the code in for 3D but leave it as a comment out and add {{update trans}} so that the translators can get to it when they get to it. Some languages just aren't as active and if you go around adding a bunch of 3D views that aren't translated they will stay that way for ages and I don't think that's exactly ideal. Mediarch User Mediarch PFP.pngTalkMy Edits 02:04, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

Yeah, understandable. I get that. — payn. Beggar's Bazooka.png Talk Speech voice.png Contribs Market Gardener.png 02:23, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
Also, totally unrelated but I've been told by staff to not worry about updating the infoboxes to use templates like {{used by}} and such. The plan is to have a bot do it automatically. Updating them could actually cause problems when it comes time to make the switch Mediarch User Mediarch PFP.pngTalkMy Edits 21:48, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
Ah, ok. That's fair, I'll stop now. Definitely lightens the workload for me, haha. — payn. Beggar's Bazooka.png Talk Speech voice.png Contribs Market Gardener.png 21:54, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

Half-Zatoichi 3D views

Hi there,

Please don't change the 3D view to use the non-alt version. Rather, try to understand how that version works instead.
BLU Wiki Cap.png | s | GrampaSwood Praise the Sun! (talk) (contribs) 23:20, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

Oh, ok. Understood. — payn. Beggar's Bazooka.png Talk Speech voice.png Contribs Market Gardener.png 23:21, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

Moving files

Hi there,

You can move your own files, staff is not necessary for that. It's under the "more" tab next to the search bar in the top right of the screen. See this page for all user files under your domain. Note that you will leave redirects behind, which you will have to mark for deletion using {{delete}} once you've changed all the files to link to the new versions.
BLU Wiki Cap.png | s | GrampaSwood Praise the Sun! (talk) (contribs) 13:10, 2 June 2024 (UTC)

Oh, I see. Thank you Grampa, I thought that with files it wouldn't be possible. Cheers — jestie. Beggar's Bazooka.png Talk Speech voice.png 13:16, 2 June 2024 (UTC)

Saxton Hale trivia

Hi there,

When adding Trivia with a reference, please archive the link on archive.org and add that to the page instead.
BLU Wiki Cap.png | s | GrampaSwood Praise the Sun! (talk) (contribs) 13:10, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

Understood. Cheers — jestie. Beggar's Bazooka.png Talk Speech voice.png 22:55, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

"div style" placement tip

Hey. I just saw your edit about how inaccurate the preview is while using div's position values. This is not because it's inaccurate, but rather because there are more elements on the top of the page while you are editing a page. You can, however, inspect element on your userpage (while you are not editing), and change the values from there. So for instance, if you right-click that spinning Engineer on the top-left side of your page, and click Inspect Element, you can see <div style="position:absolute;top:-60px;left:345px">, edit the values on top and left, and once you got the exact values you want, use those when you edit the page. This will be a 1:1 match, and it's what I have been doing to get elements at the right spot I want on my userpage.
