User talk:Dereko

Hello, Dereko!

Welcome to the Team Fortress 2 Official Wiki! Here are a few 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.
  • When uploading images for use on your user page, please add the prefix User Dereko to the file's name.
  • Additionally, if you would like to add any self-made content to the wiki, please do so by adding the prefix User:Dereko/ to the page title when you create the page.

Once again, welcome to the Team Fortress 2 Wiki!

Show preview

Please make use of the Show preview button. It gives you a preview of the edit you are making, allowing you to perfect your changes before you save the page. You can edit the whole article by clicking the edit button at the top of the page, which is preferable to editing multiple sections consecutively. Faghetti V.2 (talk) 18:03, 19 April 2018 (UTC)

Hi there,

I noticed you edit the same page a few times. You can use the "Show Preview" button to preview edits and prevent editing the same page multiple times GrampaSwood (talk) 11:19, 4 February 2019 (UTC)

Got it,many thanks! Dereko (talk) 11:26, 4 February 2019 (UTC)

Your recent edits

Hi there,

I see you're adding marketable to every infobox, could you do this for every language too (Not just English and /zh-hans)? Also saw you were removing "_"s, those are called "underscores" (It doesnt matter what you call them but just a fun fact).
GrampaSwood (talk) 15:53, 24 July 2019 (UTC)

Dereko will do this for every language! Dereko (talk) 15:57, 24 July 2019 (UTC)

D-ray's Apologies

Hey Dereko! I'm D-ray, an Italian translator of the Wiki. Hear me up: one day ago, I translated this page, and I left some mistakes in it. You fixed those mistakes, but not knowing it (because I left the edit page open) I re-fixed them, doing some minor damage to the page. User:BrazilianNut edited the page, fixing some strings. Not knowing it, because of the edit page still open, I unedit them. He made me know about these mistakes, and I was shocked because I initially tought that I haven't changed anything from his edit. And this is the worst part. I blamed you for those mistakes, because I didn't see my edit. I was probably in a rush, or I left the brain in the bed that morning. Simplifying, I came here to ask sorry, for accusing you (I initially even tought you were a hacker, lol I'm so stupid). I promise that I'll never leave a edit page open. In order to avoid this kind of things again. Sorry again, and thanks for fixing the page. D-ray (talk) 14:19, 8 December 2019 (UTC)

“

There is no need to say sorry for making minor mistakes here (and I have been taught to do so as well), please continue and improve your good work, amico. :D — Dereko is welcoming D-ray 23:34, 8 December 2019 (UTC)

Edits on Unusual effect pages

I removed all of the extra Chinese strings because they should be part of the dictionary entries instead. Adding them to every individual page is messy. Why did you add them back? - Boba (talk) 22:59, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

We have only added translated effect names in the dictionary, while I want to show both Chinese and English names to help Chinese readers do their search.

02:58, 20 June 2020 (UTC)

But these translations are only ever used with Unusuals. If you're going to have that, have it everywhere. No need to do it for just one specific page. - Boba (talk) 04:09, 20 June 2020 (UTC)

Ok, since they are only used with unusuals, I will add the contents to the dictionary. But please do not just revert my edits if you are going to delete them for me, as I have made other changes. Good luck. 05:20, 20 June 2020 (UTC)

WOW BRO YOU MADE IT!

 Sank into egocentric delusion for quite a few years... achieve nothing but self consolation... I always give up in middle stage of every field, shamelessly use those shaky works as ostentatious clothes. But you, persisted in the welfare undertaking for so many years, finally reach the peak, if not so high, tind at least. What's more, you still stay modest and humility, shame swept in my heart with envy, those hypertoxic flood eventually transformed into an inferiority complex... But it's guaranteed that staying frustrated cannot support making progress, just like this post.
 However, Congratulations!
 Dereko's 2 years diligently efforts undoubtedly worth for the reward, the personal quality which shows out in translate process signs your bright future, Wish you success!

Duplicated Display Title

Hi Dereko!

According to this report, the translation progress for the /zh-hans section has some issues with the title and/or sort key. It is not a critical issue, but it's good to point it out, for sure it won't be a problem solving this matter. Thanks for reading, and hope you have a nice day!

Yossef | Talk | Contributions 08:12, 8 August 2022 (UTC)

Greetings, Yossef. You have Dereko's personal thanks for noticing the problem. It won't be a problem if we had the problem solved for sure, but solving the problem does make problems to me.

My humble reports have shown that the matter is resulted from simultaneous applications of {{Achievements Nav}} and {{Class Strategy Nav}}, which could not happen in most cases, but it does happen because the problematic page needs to show their contents at the same time for some readers' convenience. The two templates, both using the magic word "DEFAULTSORT", generate different sort keys for the page. And of course, only the latter one is effective, leaving the former key overwritten and an error report displayed.

Making edits on two widely-used templates for a single page that not even using the sort keys is too bad an idea, thus to solve the case, I will make individual tables on the page based on the templates instead of directly calling them. And, of course, if you know any way I can keep the nav templates without concern about the sort keys, please show me the way. 13:52, 8 August 2022 (UTC)

I'm no wiki code expert, but I have a few ideas on how we can circumvent that error, I'll add you on Steam.

Help request regarding translation LUT for itemboxes

Hello Dereko!

I am here because I need your help to verify that my LUT translation for zh-hans is correct. I am currently updating all german weapon articles and noticed that the majority of itemboxes are very much out of date. So here I am trying to update them ALL. For this I would kindly ask you, to please have a quick look over the translation I have on the LUT for zh-hans. Thank you so so much in advance for your help! CampeR (talk) 07:04, 6 September 2023 (UTC)

Greetings, CampeR. The zh-hans translation text listed in the table are well consistent with the localization file. The only supplements this one may make are:

• The translation for "Festivized" was changed from "节日化" to "彩灯" in order to better distinguish it from "节日" （Festive）.
• If convenient, it is advised to use double-byte brackets for Chinese.

English	Chinese
Festive	节日
Festivized	节日化 → 彩灯
Australium	澳元素
Australium Festivized	彩灯澳元素
(RED)	（红队）
(BLU)	（蓝队）

My appreciate for the efforts! 14:03, 6 September 2023 (UTC)

Thank you so so much for your help Dereko! Your feedback was amazing, changed it accordingly.
