Backpack, Item Checklist

Do me the honour of telling me where to find one of these objects? I would highly appreciate it. Enthers 15:33, 12 March 2012 (PDT)

Find? Objects? I don't know what you mean. If, however, you mean that you want to use one of these templates in your own user page, you should probably check {{Item checklist}} for more info.  –  Epic Eric (T | C) 15:54, 12 March 2012 (PDT)

Yes, that's what I meant. I can be a little vague occasionally, but thank you for the assistance. Enthers. (I find this work intriguing. How about yourself, sir?) 09:20, 13 March 2012 (PDT)

Fists on your page

How exactly did you make the fists show up on your page?--Iamgoofball 20:57, 12 March 2012 (PDT)

<div style="position:fixed;bottom:0px;left:0px;z-index:1000">[[File:User EpicEric Fist Left.png|300px|link=]]</div><div style="position:fixed;bottom:0px;right:0px;z-index:1000">[[File:User EpicEric Fist Right.png|249px|link=]]</div>

The <div></div> parameters set the position of whatever is inside those tags (in this case, all the way to the front [z-index:1000], always on the bottom corner of the window [position:fixed;bottom:0px;left:0px; or position:fixed;bottom:0px;right:0px;]. And, of course, the [[File:User EpicEric Fist Left.png|300px|link=]] and [[File:User EpicEric Fist Right.png|249px|link=]] files are the images of the fists, on the left and right, respectively.  –  Epic Eric (T | C) 17:36, 13 March 2012 (PDT)

Applejack is best pony

OH YEAH I WENT THERE. Enthers. (I find this work intriguing. How about yourself, sir?) 15:29, 13 March 2012 (PDT)

All I can say is... well played.  –  Epic Eric (T | C) 17:36, 13 March 2012 (PDT)

"Did you know" page

Did you know that 4 classes are known smokers: the Demoman, the Sniper, the Soldier and the Spy?

Should the Medic be added?

Does he smoke? I didn't know that. Where did you see that?  –  Epic Eric (T | C) 14:55, 15 March 2012 (PDT)

Orphaned pages....

I did add them because of the reference in my language but i guess i must had one or two cups of.... intus(in my body).

You must search for them to get to them instead of Go. What was our handle with disambiguation that exists in other languages again? I only added real disamb. words, so it is correct but i still wonder a bit why i thought this is good. You have an idea for me why i did that, i don't understand me(myself) for the first time. TheDoctor 04:43, 20 March 2012 (PDT)

Well, the main issue is that no-one will type "DD/de" in the search box... So yeah, it'd be the same problem mentioned in the discussion page.  –  Epic Eric (T | C) 10:11, 20 March 2012 (PDT)

Videos

I have Done most of the Movie recording [A 45 sec Video] and I put the Wave sound and clips, in a MyMovie folder Out of the Tf folder, Will it hurt my Tf2 in any way shape or form? RRaccoon99 18:05, 21 March 2012 (PDT)

No, it won't. Those folders do not have equivalents in the game packages, and thus, will not overwrite any game files.  –  Epic Eric (T | C) 18:10, 21 March 2012 (PDT)

Even Skins and Sounds won't hurt my tf2? RRaccoon99 19:37, 22 March 2012 (PDT)

No. They are supperficial files and can be removed later without any harm.  –  Epic Eric (T | C) 11:03, 23 March 2012 (PDT)

Even A Mod that Changes my Mainmenu OR changes my Life Bar Won't hurt it? RRaccoon99 20:14, 25 March 2012 (PDT)

Nope.  –  Epic Eric (T | C) 13:43, 28 March 2012 (PDT)

Huh, Thanks for telling me! RRaccoon99 13:47, 29 March 2012 (PDT)

Flamethrower page

Should there be a disambiguation page (to be consistent with Rocket Launcher (disambiguation), Bat (disambiguation), Revolver (disambiguation)) now that there's a Pyro primary that isn't a flamethrower? -Tabs 01:46, 25 March 2012 (PDT)

Ffffffr never mind, the loadout box calls it a flame thrower. Gotta wonder why there's a disambig page for "revolver" though, since there's nothing a user can/can't find under the Spy's primary weapons.-Tabs 02:14, 25 March 2012 (PDT)

Well, there was some discussion to make disambigs based on the type of weapon displayed (eg.: Level 5 Revolver), listing all the weapons that shared the same weapon type. I was against it, but the majority won and there it is. I still don't see why would people want to have weapons listed/separated in that way, but meh.  –  Epic Eric (T | C) 07:16, 25 March 2012 (PDT)

Now that we have translated names...

Should we do redirects for them? Like Kríticos Garantidos no Boxe? GianAwesome 15:32, 25 March 2012 (PDT)

Well, you can, as long as the names don't conflict with other languages (eg. "São e Salvo" is used in both PT and PT-BR for "Safe n' Sound"). You can check this by using this website and, since it's most likely to conflict only with PT and ES, you can only check for those two and create the redirect/request the deletion of redirects with a name shared with several languages.  –  Epic Eric (T | C) 13:53, 26 March 2012 (PDT)

Also, while you're around, I have added your suggestion to Item sets' split discussion. You should take a look at it and leave a message (either to just approve it or discuss something else in it).  –  Epic Eric (T | C) 14:49, 26 March 2012 (PDT)

No probrem, is us GianAwesome 17:57, 26 March 2012 (PDT)

Hold on...

Hello EpicEric, I have seen that some of the info inside the item sets page is going to be separated to other sub pages. I did not follow the discussion thus I think I should make sure that the changes will not be undone. Please tell me that if the changes are solid so that I can start dealing with the update of zh-hant version, thanks. 08:11, 13 April 2012 (PDT)

They can still be changed, so I'd tell you to wait till all of them are done.  –  Epic Eric (T | C) 08:14, 13 April 2012 (PDT)

Alright, waiting for it to be fully completed. Thanks for the notify. 08:18, 13 April 2012 (PDT)

Clinical Trial

Oh hey, I am new here, I used to translate kf-wiki articles, and decided to come here. I just have translated Clinical Trial article into russian, but it doesn't show it as the existing one on the "item sets" panel. Did I miss something? Here is that page:http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/The_Clinical_Trial/ru YourNightmare 07:48, 15 April 2012 (PDT)

That's because you changed it in The Clinical Trial/ru instead of Clinical Trial/ru. I'll move it and everything will be fixed. When translating item set pages, make sure the page doesn't have "The" in the start of the name.  –  Epic Eric (T | C) 07:51, 15 April 2012 (PDT)

Item info changes.

Epic Eric, I received a message from you informing me that the edits I had recently made to various item info pages was being reverted due to redundancy. However, all of the changes I made to said pages were in regards to the overwhelming presence of incomplete sentences in the Updates sections of said pages. Many of the patch notes in the updates sections of said info pages begin with "This item" which not only is inconsistent with the wording in the official patch notes, but also a prime example of an incomplete sentence, and seeing as this is the official wiki and all, my edits were made in order to maintain a higher standard of quality. With this in mind, I politely ask that you reconsider your decision to revert my edits. Blk Mage Ctype 17:12, 23 April 2012 (PDT)

Dear Eric, I am happy to inform you that I do make use of the "show perview" button. I do not understand why do you all thinks I don't. Could you please explain?

Template:Item_set_infobox addition idea

Template_talk:Item_set_infobox ; My idea: Displaytitle like in item infobox. I also pointed the script out but i didnt got it right. So you could maybe do me a favor and add my idea, or object. It's up to you if you think it is useful maybe leave me a comment. Because i dont need to add displaytitles more in the future with the item sets. Thanks TheDoctor 18:40, 24 April 2012 (PDT)

Balloon Race

Do you think that the mod, Balloon Race, deserves its own article? TF Player™ 19:34, 29 May 2012 (PDT)

You are the one who made that sandboxed article, right? Could you please place a link here so I can take a look at it again?  –  Epic Eric (T | C) 16:19, 31 May 2012 (PDT)
