Item drop graph

This is an odd question, but do you still have the data from when you did this chart thing? I was curious if you still had the order you got it in, so as to perhaps rearrange it like a line graph, if that makes sense. Mozart (talk • contribs) 20:52, 15 March 2012 (PDT)

The data can be found in a csv file here, in the format <drop count>,. —Moussekateer·talk 06:24, 16 March 2012 (PDT)

This refers to the new graph which i uploaded : http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/File:Item_drops_frequency_graph.png. should i keep your name in it? or wait for someone to approve it first? 06:52, 24 April 2012 (PDT)

File:Team switch Nemesis icon bug.png

It says that you deleted this file because it was unused. However, the bugs section on the Domination page now has a null link that references this file. The link was not formatted correctly which possibly explains why the file looked unused. Upgrade 00:59, 19 March 2012 (PDT)

Bitcoin spam question

If my general assumption is correct, and it will continue in "waves", and the numbers are for real, we have at least 60 more spam users with it. I wondered if the wiki admins can do something about it, or if i should(or could) ask valve if they cant add a general blacklist for the word bitcoin because it's not a common word. Just want to know if i can be of any help. TheDoctor 19:25, 24 March 2012 (PDT)

Well here we are again, It's always such a pleasure Remember when you tried to ban me twice?

You got your short, sad, Wiki! That's what I'm counting on! I'll let you get right to it, now I only want you gone. Goodbye my only friend! Oh, did you think I meant you? That would be funny, ...if it weren't, so sad! Well, I have been replaced, I don't need your Wiki now! When I ignore you, maybe, I'll stop feeling so sad!

Wall of shame

Moussekateer. I understand that you are a mod of sorts. I DEMAND the explanation of the "Wall of Shame". I'm not on there, but who do you guys think you are by being THAT rude and childish? A quarter of those edits were good, too! This is a simple question and should not turn into an arguement. Mr. N. 17:08, 21 April 2012 (PDT)

The wall of shame was originally made to poke fun (of the lighthearted kind) at cringingly bad trivia edits. It is not meant to degrade or humiliate any editors, but rather to serve as a remainder of what poor trivia edits look like (as deemed by the trivia guidelines). I do agree that its lost its meaning a little bit, with users adding any bad edit, but I still do think it's nothing more than lighthearted fun rather than a name and shame. —Moussekateer·talk 17:24, 21 April 2012 (PDT)

Ok. Thanks again for that. Mr. N. 06:20, 22 April 2012 (PDT)

About 'Get on Steam' template

Hello. The reason of my edits was reworking of this page. I thought that it will be useful to add links to our wiki's game-pages. --askarmuk, C? 20:28, 13 May 2012 (PDT)

Ah I see now. But to be honest the template looks very out of place in that table. I would suggest redesigning the table rather than forcing that template inside. —Moussekateer·talk 20:33, 13 May 2012 (PDT)

Maybe. The reason of adding this template was a better appearance of the list with it than just a link only. Ill try to do something with it (if i would be able to do this :). --askarmuk, C? 00:34, 14 May 2012 (PDT)

Hello

Hello, it's ~WWW~. I have been watching the recent changes page for a long time. I found that you have blocked a lot of accounts which was spamming.
I just blocked two accounts 30 mins ago, is this kind of destructive acts happen all the time? The only thing we can do is blocked them when spamming happens? I think I need to hear more info about this from you because you blocked them almost everyday. If I know more things about them, maybe I can help monitoring pages and blocking them when you and other admins are not inside the Wiki. 03:14, 7 August 2012 (PDT)

Heya. Yea it happens every day, with some days much worse than others. We can't really do anything about it, even if Valve installed extensions to keep them away some will still find a way through. Otherwise there's not much we can do other than keeping a look out for them. Most of them are pretty obvious though. —Moussekateer·talk 03:25, 7 August 2012 (PDT)

I see. Preventing spams from happening is not possible for now :( Blocking accounts will be the only choice... 03:31, 7 August 2012 (PDT)

Just a question

Is it bad that i fill the whole recent changes page, i did it because i need to upadate all the zh-hant pages with the game links. Is it bad? Hecarimz 03:17, 9 August 2012 (PDT)

Nope, it's not bad. But I don't understand why you're adding those <> around links? —Moussekateer·talk 03:25, 9 August 2012 (PDT)

Hidden link on TF2 Blog

I have just noticed a hidden link on the TF2 blog. It is the blood spatter on the TF2 Free to Play banner. It leads to this page: [1] I would like to make a page on it, but I don't even know where to start. I don't have any real interest in making it myself, it just seems like no-one else has noticed it yet, so I thought I would bring it to an Admin's attention.

Hello, it looks like that MousseBOT may want to sync the Icon item's again. There's been a bit of a drift with the new stuff since the last run. --Org 06:12, 11 August 2012 (PDT)

I can do this but I'll need a list of which icons have been updated since the last time. —Moussekateer·talk 07:27, 11 August 2012 (PDT)

That I don't know. I think everything from Pyromania forward. However is there a way for the bot to pull the existing file and compare it to the icon set, and only upload the delta? --Org 23:00, 11 August 2012 (PDT)

Edit time paradox/error (?)

Hello again,Moussekateer. Recently I have encounter some problems about edits, I don't know what is the reason causing that. Please have a look of my edits record, you can see that I updated the Mann vs. Machine/zh-hant at the 02:53 (Server time). Problem is, I just edit it few minutes ago, and the time would be around 09:50. It has a big gap between the edit time and the real edit time. This phenomenon had happened on me many times, causing me worried about that my edits were not successfully saved, because I cannot see my edits on the Recent changes page. I have one partner who had the same problem, so do you have any idea about this...edit time error? Maybe the server is bugged? 03:21 10:21, 15 August 2012 (PDT) ‎

Yea we're aware of this but not quite sure what the issue is. It seems the server time is jumping around a lot for some reason. This shouldn't result in lost saves though, it just messes up the ordering in the article history. We will try to find out why this is happening. —Moussekateer·talk 03:38, 15 August 2012 (PDT)

Alright, but I think we should figure out how to solve this quickly. Not just the time gap, sometimes I can't even see the newest version of a page (I couldn't even see my message to you after I submitted). I am not sure if others had this kind of symptom. At this special and certain time (The MvM Update), the error just came out. I personally think this is not just a coincidence. Remember there's a guy called DennoCoil, who kept evading our blocks? In my opinion, if he can evaded the ban, it's not a surprise if he (or other guys who didn't like the Wiki) can did something really bad to paralyze the Wiki's edit works. I am not saying that guy is doing this, but maybe the error is not just having a bug. Maybe the server is hacked or something...
I'm not good at computer programing or server managing, so I just guess what has happened, could be inaccurate. Hope you admins can find out the problem soon, and thanks for replying :) 04:42, 15 August 2012 (PDT) (Actual: 11:43)

And one more thing...

There's another thing I forgot to mention. I know that you recently changed the font of {{backpack item}}, putting the font "TF2 Secondary" into descryptions and names. However, the Chinese does not have this kind of font (TF2 Build, TF2 Secondary...etc). So, if the words in {{backpack item}} change, the Chinese words won't become the proper words, instead, the words will become boldface, and it's a bit harder to read them. You can see Balloonicorn/zh-hant for example.
Thus, if it's feasible, could you change the font back to the before, only for zh-hant? 08:10, 15 August 2012 (PDT) (Actual: 15:01)

I'll do it. – Smashman _(talk) 08:12, 15 August 2012 (PDT)

That should now look better. – Smashman _(talk) 01:19, 15 August 2012 (PDT)

The problem on Triad items

Hello, It seems that the items released in Triad Update had more...redundant space than the other items (not only in zh-hant but also en version). This phenomenon causes the form inconsistent.
This problem also happens on the other places, such as templates, taunt pages...etc. I don't know what is the problem, so if you know how to solve it, could you please fix them? 20:04, 27 August 2012 (PDT)

That would be because the item icon images are actually just the 512x512 backpack images. Someone needs to upload proper item icon size ones or wait for the TF2B icons. —Moussekateer·talk 06:20, 28 August 2012 (PDT)

Hey, Thanks for the feedback! :D

Thanks for the feedback, Todays my first day contributing to the tf2 wiki, are there any recommendations you could make for my images to be of better quality towards the wiki? Should I take screen shots and pictures of it being used In Game? Thanks :D Macyo1 16:33, 7 October 2012 (PDT) (and im not even sure how to message you :c )

Help with Table

First of all that for the heads up on how to resize. Second of all can you help me create a table like this, thanks. RexMan85 05:53, 13 October 2012 (PDT)

Hello and two questions~

Hi, recently I checked the Hats/zh-hant and found out that all the templates around Update history are broken. Most of them became broken links such as Patch name or Item link. I try to delete the broken part, but next day more of them swarmed out. Do you know how to solve the problems?

Another part is my absence in the IRC. I do not know if all Mods and admins have to actively join the channel and discuss something or not. Due to many busy works at my side, I usually forget or too tired to open the Internet, not to mention opening the IRC. I am not sure that the inactivity to the IRC will make some people feel troublesome or not. Therefore, I think I have to take some advice about this from you, too. Thanks for your further reply. 06:35, 30 October 2012 (PDT)

From what I can see it seems that page has reached the limit of included templates. This is because of the large number of templates used in the hat table and the 'Item link' templates scattered everywhere. This problem is beginning to creep into a lot of pages, we may soon need to look into rewriting some of these templates. In the mean time, if you want to fix that page I would suggest removing some unnecessary templates. Regarding the IRC channel, your presence is encouraged but not entirely required. You are active as it is on your talk pages anyway :) hope that helps. —Moussekateer·talk 08:06, 30 October 2012 (PDT)

Okay, got it. Thanks for your advice :) 09:50, 30 October 2012 (PDT)

Spammers

Hello, recently the spammers seem to be "smarter" than before. I think they will write some introducing which "looks like" something about TF2 community, pretend to be one of the normal editors, then place their websites below the words to avoid deleting and blocking. Here's an example I found : User:PabloVMV. Actually, I don't know whether this kind of user page should be considered spammer or not. I would like you know your opinion about this and decide my next move. Thanks. 05:38, 6 February 2013 (PST)

Heya. This is indeed a spammer. You'll notice their sentences are very vague, and not TF2 specific, because they paste this text into all wikis they come across. The link is suspicious looking too. I think you know this already, but that is certainly a spam bot. Hope that helps :) —Moussekateer·talk 06:00, 6 February 2013 (PST)

Okay, I see. Thanks~ 06:12, 6 February 2013 (PST)

Hi there. For your first request WindBOT currently has a filter that converts W templates to w: interwiki links. I could change it to always add the language parameter, but I'm not sure if that's always a good idea. As for your second request I can do a one time run through all the da articles to fix this. I will let you know when I've done it. —Moussekateer·talk 15:22, 30 June 2013 (PDT)
