Overlooking
I think I've been overlooked for being eligible for getting the Wiki Cap.
Demonstrate a strong desire to help improve and update the Wiki through useful edits and contributions. Participate in the community by contributing to discussion. We also have an IRC channel where you can get to know and become part of the regulars! Adhere to the policies and practices of the Official Team Fortress Wiki, including observing the style guide and the official policies. Have roughly 400 or more edits. If you are having trouble finding things to do, take a look at the tasks list, or ask in the IRC channel.
Note: It's incredibly easy to determine if individuals are spamming edits to artificially inflate their edit count. Edit spammers will jeopardize their chances of earning the hat.
Properly implement licenses on images, sounds, and any other kinds of uploads, media or otherwise. Have been around for approximately two months or more.
Okay, I've done the first one by contributing a hell lot. I've contributed to the IRC by talking. I've stood by the policies and practices by now removing useless trivia and such. I have 573 edits. I've put licenses properly on images I've uploaded. I've been around for at least six months now.
Why am I not eligible? Fyahweather 05:16, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

This user plays TF2 with a mouse
Well, good for you. I play TF2 with hands. Your hands. -- En Ex (talk) 05:05, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

[ classified ] link from in-game
Are you able to make an exception on the item redirection script for the [ classified ]? I'll send it over to Robin, so that those that want to see the hat, aren't confronted with a Bad title page. Thanks. – Smashman (talk) 12:53, 15 April 2011 (UTC)
- You'll notice that the script is broken for not just that one, but all the Shogun items etc. In short, they broke the cache or didn't refresh it, because my copy of the script still works for all items. I emailed Robin about it and got no answer — Wind 17:28, 15 April 2011 (UTC)
To change
Hi again Wind ^^
- Change "Variantes pintadas" to "Variaciones de Colores" with the BOT script. Dio ★ (talk) 18:01, 17 April 2011 (UTC)
- Can you add this words in to the filter? Thanks Dio ★ (talk) 14:22, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
- For the Articles:
- Chetos - Trampas
- Spys - Spies
- For the Patchs:
- Arreglado - Se han arreglado
- Añadida - Se ha añadido
- exploit - error provechoso
- Spys - Spies
- Overheal - Exceso de curación
- Done, but I think I see a lot of words that correspond to the same type of error (cambiar, actualizar, etc., as well as the plural version of all those words). But I won't add them until you confirm that it's right~ Also, please give me an example "bad page" to work with next time :3 — Wind 16:39, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
- Yes, you are right. As BiBi said, it's better do it manually. Don't edit the others (trampas, spies...) Dio ★ (talk) 20:59, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
- Arrr, the exploit filter is grabbing ALL pages, not only spanish ones ;(

Stuff
From yesterday (or today?):
- All class nav:
{{All class nav/inner}}
was made to suit to special needs. seb makes note – Huge success. The table (row 68) shows fairly significant drops in the post-expand size. When you get online we should test timings to see if it's an improvement.- Ok the dramatic drops are really only visible in row 71. The real page example only uses the /inner template on the Scout layer, the others are unchanged. So it's likely the decreases visible in the row 68 stats are going to be even better when /inner is extended to all the classes ;D seb26 11:22, 7 May 2011 (UTC)
- Hit dis dawk. — Wind 16:34, 7 May 2011 (UTC)
- Test chamber intro vid: the ugly text edges is YouTube D: Screencap from VirtualDub of the original file. What do..?

- Not your fault, just don't worry about it and keep it the way it is. — Wind 16:34, 7 May 2011 (UTC)
Template:W is broken
There is some weird Template:W going on. Could it be because of this edit? [1] --CruelCow (talk) 13:57, 7 May 2011 (UTC)

Custom width for Item Checklist
Why hello there, Windy one. I was wondering if you would be so kind as to update the Item Checklist template to include the ability to set a custom width (e.g 500px or 100%). It would be très bonne. MogDog66 t c p || 04:58, 12 May 2011 (UTC)

Speelun
Can you have WindBOT correct instances of "Kritzkreig" and "Natasha?" They've been on my to-do list for ages now. -Shine 02:31, 14 May 2011 (UTC)
- The bot should already correct "Kritzkreig" (at least it's already in the filters; please tell me if you see a page with it on it and the bot didn't correct it), but "Natasha" is the correct translation of Natascha in Finnish (Natascha/fi = Natasha). Guess I'll add it to english-only filters — Wind 02:38, 14 May 2011 (UTC)
- The comp Pyro page links to the misspelled Kritz and several English pages link to Natasha. -Shine 02:45, 14 May 2011 (UTC)
- The competitive category is on the bot's blacklist so it won't touch them. As for the Natasha ones, there's only three so I'll fix them by hand — Wind 02:48, 14 May 2011 (UTC)
- Ooooh, kk. Danke. -Shine 02:52, 14 May 2011 (UTC)
CSS edits
Hey. How to make my CSS settings visible for all users? As on your page. For example, other users see broken text in header on my page. - Grand-O-Rand · (Talk) 10:09, 18 May 2011 (UTC)
- You can't. The point of making user CSS is to customize how the site looks for you, not the rest of the users; otherwise, vandals could make the entire Wiki unreadable. What you can do, however, is put all of that CSS into style attributes. My page is a bit special in that it has special JavaScript and special CSS, but I'm not sure we're comfortable with giving that power to everyone yet — Wind 11:52, 18 May 2011 (UTC)
Greetings!
You've been called the idk code guru or somthing crazy like that and I was just wondering how one would go and make a script or out right program that would post RRS feeds directly to steam groups. I am not totally computer illiterate but I lack the language knowledge to do anything of this sort (C and C++ is what I know). Thanks, Meter1060 01:21, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
- Most simple scripts like that are a good fit for [Python usually, which is what I used for the Steam forums bot and for this Wiki's bot as well. It has a nice tutorial. I can't really teach you how to do such a thing from start to finish, but I can give you the code for the module to post to the Steam forums if you want :3 This is different from posting to Steam groups obviously, since they are separate websites with a separate account system, but it should probably get you started~ — Wind 01:27, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
- Well it appears my simple engineering training is not helping :/ Thanks for the source and the tutorial its really informative but I won't be able to find the time. Thanks anyways. Cheers Meter1060 03:42, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
Thank you!
As a fellow Canadian (Ontario, woot) and code-monkey (mainly SourcePawn code), I have to thank you for creating DamnVid. You have officially attained "God" status in my eyes, sir. 404 User Not Found 01:54, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

I'm sorry if this is a bother, but I was told that you could generate a score for me like the ones on the Wiki Cap candidates page? I'm curious to see how poor they are. :U SilverHammer 02:21, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

- How to view this information for another user.--
Promo Pages
Hello, hope this isn't too much of a bother but I'm curious as to why we can't add any details regarding cross-promotion games. Pages like Monday Night Combat(90% of them in fact) don't have anything more than 2 lines. I'm aware it says other sites have covered them in greater detail but shouldn't we at least colour it up a bit? I edited and gave a big workover on one of the page and was removed because of the said reason. Even if the games are unrelated to TF2, the items offered to players are. Half a page of explanation is a lot better than 2 lines. Yeokso 05:40, 2 June 2011 (UTC)
- You already asked this on someone elses page. I don't think it was really needed twice. Half a page of explanation is not better than 2 lines, as the information is provided on the links on that page. (note, that is not my personal opinion, that is just how the pages are currently voted to work I guess. If you really want these pages to be changed, you can try to appeal for a change. I guess you should do this on the PNatI Talk Page as that is the first one you edited.) -

- I would argue that it's not only unnecessary, but would actively cause problems for the wiki if these pages were created. Every single page on this wiki is directly related to Team Fortress. Why cause the confusion of adding in indirect pages when there is absolutely no benefit to doing so? -Subtlefuge 05:54, 2 June 2011 (UTC)
- To be perfectly fair, the Poker Night page is directly related to TF2, in that it has achievements which unlock TF2 items. I recently added the Hat Trick achievement ino to the Alien Swarm page, and no one has reverted it. It wouldn't be outlandish to have the achievement info on the Poker Night page, it'd be consistent. I'm not exactly for such a long page based on another game, especially with how it wouldn't be consistent with every other promotional item page. The Poker Night page could handle the achievements I'd think. Poker Night is oe of the only third-party games to feature a TF2 character in full, along with Killing Floor. I'd imagine both of these facts are worth bringing up on their respective pages. I'm not voting for or against just yet, but consistency is important with these pages. It'd be awkward for the Poker Night page to be a long as some weapon articles while the Plants Vs. Zombies or Portal 2 page are so short...
- Firstly, I apologize for bringing up this topic again, perhaps I was just trying too hard to revive my edited work since it took me a while to make it. And secondly, thanks for the explanation, I didn't realize fully that pages not only have to be entirely related to Team Fortress but consistent with other pages. Since it was on the wiki, I felt it was necessary to add some content, and oh boy.. I was wrong. Yeokso 07:12, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

Whichever way this goes, I saw the page before it was reverted, Yeokso. You did a pretty good job building what you did from scratch. SilverHammer 06:07, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

Hello again
Hello, wind. This is ~www~ :). I think I have got some problem about Template:Dictionary.
A few days ago, I add the name for Lo-Fi longwave and Sprial Sallet.However, many hours later I found it still remains the English name, not Traditional Chinese.
I wonder why this happened, because I saw the Russian version have successfully added it.Do you know why I cannot add name at Template:Dictionary? Maybe I typed wrong at somewhere :p
Please let me know where I did wrong or the system went wrong. Thank you.
~www~ 09:23, 16 June 2011 (UTC)
- Nope, was my fault, all fixed now. Thanks~ — Wind 15:16, 16 June 2011 (UTC)
I mean, when a user types something inside Dic., will it automatically change the name of an item, or the Moderators (or Admins) have to check it and put the names on by themselves? ~www~ 13:07, 18 June 2011 (UTC)
- The bot will automatically put it a few minutes later — Wind 16:01, 18 June 2011 (UTC)
- Ok, got it. ~www~ 09:10, 19 June 2011 (UTC)
item checklist
Hey wind, I noticed my item checklist has not been updating. I got some items a few days ago and they have not been put in yet. Do you know why? Thespy 22:35, 17 June 2011 (UTC)
- It seems you have since changed your profile id (From zegovernor to live1053)
- You would need to change your item checklist accordingly. Once that is done, don't expect it to re-update right away. -

Detective Noire in Item checklists
I brought this to the attention of Swarfega, and he said I should pass this on to you. Currently in Windbots item checklists the detective noire is not recognised. However, I've discovered that this can be solved by removing the accented 'e' and replacing it with a normal one; Basicly you replace 'Détective' with 'Detective' and it's all fixed.MEDUNN 08:31, 24 June 2011 (PDT)
