Gifs

I think it'd be a good idea to replace the current example screenshots with .gif's, simply because they can so much better demonstrate how these particle effects actually look like in-game. Alternatively, there could also be a YouTube demonstration video, in a similar manner as weapons, but that's just an idea. - Selbi 15:38, 26 October 2011 (PDT)

 Support I've been wondering for a while why there weren't any videos or animations demonstrating this. » Cooper Kid (blether) • (contreebs) 17:20, 26 October 2011 (PDT)

 Oppose No, gifs are horrible. They waste bandwidth, look ugly, make the page sluggish and distracting. A video would be a better solution, but overkill in this case. ~ Ath (talk) 17:52, 26 October 2011 (PDT)

Well maybe have video links next to each effect (instead of having the video viewable on the page), or just one video demonstrating all of them? » Cooper Kid (blether) • (contreebs) 02:30, 27 October 2011 (PDT)

That was my idea, one video to demonstrate all particle effects. YouTube has the ability to link to a specific point in the timeline of a video, so there could be links for each effect on the Wiki page. Also yeah, .gif's maybe are a bad idea, but I was more focusing on the question of should there be a demonstration video for unusual effects anyway. - Selbi 07:06, 27 October 2011 (PDT)

I don't think a video is really needed for this, the images are all that's really needed. It's a much better option for the user to use itemtest instead, as that way they can see what the effect looks like personally, and specify the hat to attach to. ~ Ath (talk) 10:44, 27 October 2011 (PDT)

Actually there's already a demonstration video present on the Particle effects article. I think it might be a good idea to add it to this article too. —Moussekateer·talk 10:47, 27 October 2011 (PDT)

Possible Unusual quality items is wrong

This page really but really needs an update , I tried to edit , but really couldn't see how , for example : Unusual fast learner exists - No , it doesn't exists , who wrote this ?! and many other non-exist unusuals hats/miscs. Vaknins33 16:19, 10 April 2012 (PDT)

He's got a very good point. I have noticed Bonk Boy is missing from the list, and it is available as unusual. Some proof if needed. http://www.tf2outpost.com/search/3655003 Taser9001 04:25, 25 May 2012 (PDT)

The table used on this page has since been re-done, and is much simpler. It shouldn't be too hard to edit now, even for someone with only a basic understanding of the wiki markup. The table can be found here. » Cooper Kid (blether) • (contreebs) 04:54, 25 May 2012 (PDT)

Unused unusual effects: many many more that what's listed

They can be found in itemfx.pcf file. — The preceding unsigned comment was added by Shadowtroop (talk) • (contribs)

Human Cannonball

Hi, the Human Cannonball has been confirmed as an available all-class unusual hat. Can someone add it to the page? I'm rather new here, and I don't want to break anything. DemanRisu 06:23, 20 August 2012 (PDT)

Halloween Effects

Is the TFW ever going to add the Halloween unusual effect hats to the list / show demonstrations of the effects? IndispensableIrritations 15:27, 28 October 2012 (PDT)

Trivia

Perhaps we should add a Trivia section. The "It's a secret to everybody" is just too good. And for those that don't understand, I'm almost certain its a reference to the Legend of Zelda. I've seen that phrase so many times its not even funny. -- Nocturne 16:09, 6 November 2012 (PST)
