Women

In the "Did you know..." section the second entry is a listing about the venus symbol being in the Meet the Pyro video. The link to the Wikipedia page goes to a page on women. This link should be corrected to go directly to the Wikipedia page on the venus symbol: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venus_symbol

the word "update' in class hat/misc tables

Example - Manniversary Update. Update is replaced with writing in an Asian language. Not even sure which one it is, or how to fix it, though I will look. Appears to happen with all classes. Cranberry Jerk 18:38, 4 July 2012 (PDT)

This talk page is for the Main Page only. Anyway, if you are looking for a way to translate/fix translations of these texts, you should see Template:Dictionary/common strings#major update titles.  –  Epic Eric (T | C) 18:42, 4 July 2012 (PDT)

Fixed this. —Moussekateer·talk 18:45, 4 July 2012 (PDT)

Yeah, sorry, I didn't know the best place for it. Better on each class page? Thanks for fix Mouskateer Cranberry Jerk 20:54, 5 July 2012 (PDT)

Adding Archimedes to Trending topics or MvM Feed

Adding Robot Responses and Taunts

I think we need to add robot responses and taunts because we would love to hear the robot versions of voice lines and the taunts are technically new. — The preceding unsigned comment was added by GamerGuy09 (talk) • (contribs) 22:01, 1 September 2012

All voice responses have a filter applied on them in-game to sound robotic-like, which means doing this for all of them wouldn't be helpful. As for the robot taunts... that's not a bad idea. Still, this page is for discussing the Main Page only, and you should probably try the Talk:Taunts or the Team Fortress Wiki:Discussion page for this instead.  –  Epic Eric (T | C) 10:33, 3 September 2012 (PDT)

nah, i don't think we need to put all the robot responses and taunts, because they're only modified voice of normal classes, so why put them?--MarcoDoctorwho 13:04, 18 March 2013 (PDT)

Random Page Function should be filtered by language

Who agrees with me? It's pretty annoying to usually be linked to a page in a foreign language. ToSTONEiGO 19:58, 5 September 2012 (PDT)

This has been discussed many, many times before, but it's unfortunately out of our hands - I believe one of the mods has written the code that would filter it by language, but it's up to the people at Valve to implement it. » Cooper Kid (blether) • (contreebs) 02:20, 6 September 2012 (PDT)

Mann vs. Machine can probably be removed from the topics. It's been more than a month since the update.  – Tabs 01:50, 24 September 2012 (PDT)

Class Icons

What's up with the Scout and Engineer icon? I'm pretty sure that's not supposed to be there. --TzuZen 23:32, 22 October 2012 (PDT)

The main page is non-editable; any change would show up as being done by an admin. The current change on the TF2 website (tf2.com) is per Valve, not per us. Darkid (|) 20:02, 23 October 2012 (PDT)

Smissmas 2012

So the smissmas is coming, and VALVe released an article about it (The update page). The page tells about the new MvM map and a boss robot, Mecha-Engineer. It also contains 3 new weapons ("Rescue ranger" for engi, "The loose cannon" for demo and "The vaccinator" for medic) and a postcard with "Season greetings" written on the upper left corner. On the postcard there are all nine classes with a reindeer antlers, except pyro, scout and sniper. The Spy and the Demoman have a christmas ornament badge (forgot the name of the ornament), the Spy is also wearing shoulderpads much like the Fancy dress uniform, The hat that scout is wearing, is a lot like "Ye olde baker boy", but with earmuffs. Both the sniper's and pyro's hats look like ski masks. Balloonicorn has a new reindeer-like skin. The classes are all holding the new festive weapons, from left to right: Axtinguisher(pyro), ???(demo, the gun is not visible), Ubersaw(medic), Frontier justice(engineer), Huntsman(sniper), Ambassador(spy), Sandwich(? heavy is holding a triangular package, the same shape that sandwich has), Holy mackerel(scout) and Buff banner(soldier).

Trivia statement incorrect.

In the trivia section it said that, a Pyro flamethrower named Wrath of Wan Hu would have been part of the Triad Pack, but was replaced by the Huo Long Heater It has been stated by the author of this weapon that it was not a replacement and simply that square enix was monitoring there weapons to which they added, and decided not to add the weapon.--hj 06:03, 4 January 2013 (PST)

There's an error on the main page

http://puu.sh/1XSmp this is displaying in the action figure post. — The preceding unsigned comment was added by Davo (talk) • (contribs) 15:50, 5 February 2013

To clarify, the post has bad grammar. The main page says "TF2 Action Figure are out now" when it should be Figures. The appropriate template to change is {{Current Events}}. Darkid (|) 07:54, 5 February 2013 (PST)

Yeah, bad grammar, someone fix it--MarcoDoctorwho 07:56, 5 February 2013 (PST)

Unofficial TF2 project page

Hello, I would like to know if I can add a wiki page about something that isn't developed by valve but by the community, in the TF2 world of course. The project is the Electric Boogaloo, where the community make robot version of the hats and miscs. Thanks, ViST3 21:40, 24 February 2013 (PST)

While we have no official guidelines on notable projects, we do tend to only create articles for projects that have been mentioned on the official blog. A link to the project page would be handy in making your case though. —Moussekateer·talk 05:37, 25 February 2013 (PST)

Sure, this is the project page: http://robots.tf2mods.net/ Actually, there's just a video and some guidelines, but in the Facepunch forum there's a thread about this project and it is plenty of good quality item previews. I know the html code and the wiki code (quite similar) so i think something good will come out. I still have to contact one of the project moderators though. ViST3 10:40, 25 February 2013 (PST)

Change Forums to Community Hub

...Or Discussion. Valve seems to have migrated everything to their new Community Hub system, and we should follow suit if we are an official resource.

Suggestion: Remove Beta from front page

As Team Fortress 2 Beta is no longer supported/active, I propose that it be removed from the Latest Updates section of the front page. --Jmudge (talk) 15:00, 30 October 2013 (PDT)

 Support I don't see why should it be kept there if it's incredibly outdated and, consequently, I don't think it's important enough to be in the main page anymore. – Epic Eric (T | C) 07:53, 9 December 2013 (PST)

I agree, it seems the beta is dead. I've been looking into redesigning that part of the main page and will hopefully push soon. —Moussekateer·talk 08:03, 9 December 2013 (PST)

 Support The front page is due a little shuffle - and I still think the big buttons should be altered a little. » Cooper Kid (blether) • (contreebs) 03:53, 10 December 2013 (PST)

Characters in the comics

I was thinking, should we have a section on the playable characters page to explain their roles in the official comics so far and which comics they appear in? It makes sense to me. Or, have a separate page for the characters as they appear in the comics, since that's what a lot of superhero wikis and wikis dealing with multiple universes or canons tend to do. --PyroGothNerd (talk) 10:52, 23 December 2013 (PST)

I don't know, the comic pages themselves tend to explain what's going on--and it's not like there's a huge amount of continuity within the comics, or that this continuity is so horridly broken by the game. Darkid (|) 10:59, 23 December 2013 (PST)

Well, not previously, but now they have like TF comics #1 and TF comics #2 so it seems like they're starting to explore having a more continuous story. (Although it probably started with Blood Brothers) --PyroGothNerd (talk) 11:05, 23 December 2013 (PST)

Ok, so recently there is a bit of a story. What, beyond what is listed in the comics, needs telling? Keep in mind that the majority of players do not focus on these comics; rather on the game Darkid (|) 11:23, 23 December 2013 (PST)

Also, since this is general discussion, it should be taking place Here. Darkid (|) 11:24, 23 December 2013 (PST)

Favorite character poll?

Is it possible to create a poll on the home page this wiki? Because I'm curious to see which fighting class/character is the most popular (or at least among people who visit this wiki). --PyroGothNerd (talk) 11:37, 25 December 2013 (PST)

Such a poll does not belong on the wiki. It's opinion based which is better off being on the Steam forums rather than here. Even though there were probably tons made, it's pointless for the wiki. Ashes (talk) 15:59, 25 December 2013 (PST)
