Team Fortress Wiki (TF Wiki), or Wiki for short, also known as Official Team Fortress Wiki (OTF Wiki), Official Team Fortress 2 Wiki (OTF2 Wiki), Team Fortress Official Wiki (TFO Wiki), and Team Fortress 2 Official Wiki (TF2O Wiki), was formerly known and founded as Team Fortress 2 Wiki (TF2 Wiki) by Nos in October 2007. Its goal is to provide Team Fortress 2 players with information that they will find useful to further their understanding of the game.
In June 2010, the Wiki and its content were moved to a new server hosted by Valve and became the official wiki for the Team Fortress series of games, covering everything related to Team Fortress 2 and it's older siblings – Team Fortress Classic and Team Fortress.
The Wiki is divided into two sections, Team Fortress 2 and Team Fortress Classic.

What is a wiki?
See Wikipedia's article on the definition of a "Template:W".
- A wiki is a website that allows the creation and editing of any number of interlinked web pages via a web browser using a simplified markup language or a WYSIWYG text editor. Wikis are typically powered by wiki software and are often used collaboratively by multiple users. Examples include community websites, corporate intranets, knowledge management systems, and note services. The software can also be used for personal notetaking.
How to get started and where to find things
- The links found on the left under 'Navigation' will help you navigate your way around the wiki.
- First, check out the main page. It tells you what is new and has useful links.
- Second, try the search box! It is quite useful, although you could always search within the wiki using Google.
- Third, if you are bored you could always check out a random page!
How to edit
This is a wiki, a cooperative and informative website that anyone can edit to make it better.
To edit a page, you have to first sign in, or if you haven't created an account yet, create one.
Team Fortress Wiki, like Wikipedia, utilizes the wiki markup to format a page. For example, entering any text between two equal signs creates a title. Wikipedia has a cheat sheet designed to help newcomers. You should also check out the tutorial for the very basics.
We also have a style guide which you should follow. It has guidelines on the way you should format pages.
