I am not Hat anymore.
Re. Top Notch edit. It should either be "item" or "cosmetic item". "Hat" is depreciated for any item except for an item that is actually clearly a hat (not a head). Mikado282 (talk) 12:51, 4 June 2017 (PDT)
- The article refers to the cosmetic item as a hat four times already, excluding the edit that I made. Additionally, it’s called a hat in-game “Level 50 Hat.”
- Furthermore, the cosmetic item is a cardboard box with a fedora, and the definition of “hat” is “covering for the head,” so technically, it’s a hat (or a hat with a hat) (or a mask with a hat) (or a box with a hat).

English
Help:Style guide#Spelling -- There is no standard preference on this wiki for UK or US spelling, only that that the spelling for a given word should be the same (UK or US) throughout the whole (single) article. Half of the English speakers of this wiki could disagree with that spelling (technically word choice in this case). Me? I ignore and I recommend ignoring every UK/US variant.

- Seeing as how TF2 is an American game, I thought the wiki would use American English. Consistency is key, and I think that some articles using British English and some using American English is bad practice.

Support (Not that I can help a lot with AE/BE) — shots fired by: - @Stylosa then @Nicho: Then propose the change to the style guide at Help talk:Style guide. I won't argue the style change point here, because this is not the place. The Help talk:Style guide is the place to discuss whether the wiki style should change to U.S. English. I will join you there. Mikado282 (talk) 18:34, 4 June 2017 (PDT)
