Many Team Fortress 2 update pages contain hidden pages. These hidden pages usually contain hints to future parts of the update that have not yet been revealed, extend the background story of the game and its characters, or even rewards an item to finders on a first-come first-served basis. Some of the links to these pages have since been disabled.
