User talk:Spelsucre

Getting started

Heyo!

Here's some links to get you started:

• If you're not too familiar with editing wikis, you might like to start with Help:Editing.
• If you already are familiar with wikiediting, you might want to try Help:Style guide.
• Recent Changes will let you see others' contributions as they happen.
  • To make Recent Changes more useful for all users, remember to provide an edit summary in the "Summary" field before you save your changes.
  • You can set the wiki to prompt you for a summary in your preferences.
• When posting on an article's Talk page you should add four tilde symbols or ~~~~ onto the end.
  • This will add a signature and timestamp to your comment so others can easily tell who posted it.
  • Any new sections on an article's Talk page should be added to the bottom of the page and not to the top.
  • When editing normal article pages, don't sign your contributions.
  • You can use the button in the editing toolbar to quickly add a signature.
• If you have any questions or need any help, please feel free to leave a message for a staff member.
• If you have trouble with anything on the wiki or you're not sure about a specific topic, feel free to join the IRC.
• You can also customize your user page if you like.
  • Additionally, if you would like to add any self-made content to the wiki, please do so by adding the prefix User:Spelsucre/ to the page title when you create the page.

Now for some more specific info, following links may prove useful:

• Very important: Spatieregels and the DT-regel
• Tf_dutch.txt for the official in-game names and descriptions
• This page and this page page for the default translations of commonly used terms.

Some more useful information:

• (Almost) everything between square brackets should be turned into its /nl counterpart
  • e.g.: [[Meet the Medic]] → [[Medic/nl|Ontmoet de Medic]]
  • This includes updates, maps and game modes.
  • If you don't know the name of a weapon, for example the Soda Popper, you can use {{Item link|Soda Popper}} for a link or {{Item name|Soda Popper}} for the item's name.

• In links to specific sections of pages, like [[Medic strategy#Blutsauger]], the "/nl" comes before the hashtag, so → [[Medic strategy/nl#Blutsauger]]

• Links to Wikipedia, like [[w:Banana|Banana]] become [[w:nl:Banaan (name of the Wikipedia article)|Banaan]]

Again, if you need any help whatoever, feel free to join us over at the IRC.

I didn't give you all of this information just for you to ignore it. I insist that you either read and apply it, or refrain from translating altogether. It might seem a bit crude, but I rather have no translations or do it myself than seeing the pages you write.

Pleave a message on my talk page or join us at the IRC if you disagree. Eels 10:49, 6 March 2013 (PST)
