Valve Wiki Network Images

The images should link to the sites themselves rather than simply to the image, makes it easier to get to them. Also the Team Fortress 2 Wiki image should not have any link at all. --Firestorm 23:09, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

Yes, yes and yep. Easy to do. It's saved at Template:VWN make sure the Team Fortress Wiki text is bolded though. Smashman 23:13, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

Shortened Name?

I think when referencing the Wiki's name we should call it OTF Wiki or TF Wiki, as the entire name can be quite cumbersome. I am also lead to believe there's a shortened name property in the MediaWiki settings, but I may be wrong. Any suggestions? Smashman 23:20, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

I'm just a member who registered like 5 minutes ago, but I think the best shortened name would be TF Wiki or even TFW... Blue Kleiner 00:44, 30 June 2010 (UTC)

That's fine. New members are welcome and their opinions too. I think TF Wiki would be good. We're combining the Team Fortress Wiki about TFC as well, that's good. -- Smashman... _{(t • s)} 00:47, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

Did you know...

The second fact

...that the liquid splash when equipping Bonk! uses the same effect as the acid splatters emitted by the antlion workers in Half Life 2: Episode Two?

should be changed to

...that the liquid splash when equipping Bonk! Atomic Punch uses the same effect as the acid splatters emitted by the antlion workers in Half Life 2: Episode Two?

This should be edited so you can tell if the liquid effect is reffering to the Bonk! Atomic Punch or the Bonk! Crit-a-Cola liquid splash effect.

You are welcome to fix it. -- Pilk _(talk) 05:07, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

It is on the main page, which i do not have permission to edit. Coconut 05:12, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

All that you need to edit is the Template which the page refers too. You can access this template by opening the source and checking the templates used at the bottom of the edit window. -Firestorm 05:53, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

Case in point, I've done it already. Vi3trice 05:58, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

Thanks, i was wondering how to do that. Coconut 06:01, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

Don't they have the same particle effect? Thus the use of Bonk! is correct? Meter1060 06:45, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

I'm assuming the change is just to specify that it's the Atomic Punch, because just "Bonk!" could mean different things (like the kill taunt). Granted, in context of the sentence, it's clear what was meant, but now the link will go to the specific page as opposed to a "Bonk!" disambiguation page. TaargusTaargus 21:10, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

The eighth fact

...that Team Fortress 2 has a popular fan-made podcast, called the Control Point podcast?

should be changed to

...that Team Fortress 2 has three popular fan-made podcasts: Control Point, KritzKast and Friendly Fire Podcast? --The preceding unsigned comment was added by Madsser (talk) • contribs)

Yep, go ahead and add it, you don't need to ask permission for everything. We'll revert/change anything incorrect or useless. DO ask permission for any major changes you make though. Thanks! -Firestorm 17:11, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

How do i edit the main page when its locked? -Madsser

What do you want to change? Vi3trice 19:15, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

The eighth fact so it say ...that Team Fortress 2 has three popular fan-made podcasts: Control Point, KritzKast and Friendly Fire Podcast? and not ...that Team Fortress 2 has a popular fan-made podcast, called the Control Point podcast? -Madsser

I went ahead and added them, thanks. By the way, sign your comments with four tildes. WindPower 21:23, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

This wiki rising on Google.

If you google "TF2 Wiki", this wiki is now 6th on the list. We're doing well guys. Give it a month, I think we're going to manage it. -- Smashman... _{(t • s)} 14:02, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

Fact Change

...that the Demoman, Medic, Sniper and the Scout are the only classes to have known living family members?

You can now include the Engineer. As of the new TF2 web comic Loose Canon.

I'm not sure if Radigan Gonagher is still alive... Vi3trice 18:44, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

WAY dead, his corpse was looted, remember? Also, sign your name on talk pages with "~~~~" The Neotank 18:46, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

Background

Cool new backgroud, but I would suggest to change the color of the TF2 icon Blue Kleiner 21:29, 2 July 2010 (UTC)
