:{{c|Disagree}} Not a quality, and it's an overloaded term. Festive weapons can have an article, but I don't think "Festive" should have an article unless it's a disambiguation article. I think the best solution is the current one. Festive redirects to Festive weapons, which has a hatnote for Festive crates. If there are future uses, that might warrant a disambig. page at Festive. &ndash; [[User:Fashnek|<span style="text-size:1.5em;font-weight:bold;color:#363;text-shadow:0 0 0.8em #6c6;">fashnek</span>]] <sub>([[User talk:Fashnek|talk]]&#183;[[Special:Contributions/Fashnek|c]])</sub> 15:41, 17 December 2011 (PST)

Alright, it appears that the Strange Festive weapons have a new set of ranks, entirely separate from the classical Strange ranks, so my argument no longer has any footing. Case closed.

Light colors

Some weapons have team multicolored lights. The stickybomb launcher just has plain white lights. - Devozade 11:54, 16 December 2011 (PST)

I think it has to do with whether the weapon is strange or not. My sticky launcher's weapon icon is multicoloured but the lights are white only (nanosheep_inc) 16:29, 16 December 2011 (PST)
If we look in the model and it looks like it's supposed to be animated, we can probably conclude that there's some kind of error/mistake/bug. Can someone verify that the Festive Stickybomb Launcher is even allowed to be team-colored? All the others are. – fashnek (talk·c) 15:45, 17 December 2011 (PST)

Strange festive rank table started

I've taken the data from STS and the regular strange ranks table and made this:

Template:Festive strange weapon ranks

Before including in the main article:

  • STS only shows 18 ranks, so the counts are probably wrong. Rank 0 has an empty string.
  • Rank zero's an empty string... I've put in a message (in English and Italian)
  • All the dictionary stuff seems to be missing
