Arms/Left Arm

Should the Pip-Boy go to the "Arms" region and/or the Purity Fist go to the Left Region? TFPlayer 22:20, 18 October 2011 (PDT)

Those are the equip regions as defined in items_game.txt so no. User Moussekateer signature sprite.pngMoussekateer·talk 22:27, 18 October 2011 (PDT)

Hat regions

"All hats have an equip region of Hat." Except some take up other regions as well, such as Spiral Sallet, or are Whole Head, like Horseless Headless Horsemann's Head. These should probably be listed in the table too, no? Building icon Metal.png Mar 00:14, 19 October 2011 (PDT)

Yes, those should also be listed, along with the hats that are "whole head" Balladofwindfishes 10:14, 19 October 2011 (PDT)

Region Conflicts

I'm not quite sure, but I think the table is wrong. I've seen several people using Foster's Facade (face region) with glasses/eyes. According to the table, this is not possible. BadKarMa 04:54, 20 October 2011 (PDT)

Those people are using the current exploit via the Quickswitch menu to equip conflicting misc items at the same time. It is not Valve's intention. SS2R 04:57, 20 October 2011 (PDT)

Obsessive Templation Disorder

Like most of my other projects, I felt the need to craft a hybrid template. In this case I created a new Equip Region Table. It's a combination between the style of our Hats/Misc Navboxes and our current Equip Region Table. It probably won't be easy to update as the current one, but it still looks pretty nice. So gather your opinions and tell them to me; shall we use it? User M-NINJA Signature.png 14:27, 25 October 2011 (PDT)

Pictogram minus.png Oppose I prefer the actual one, it's smaller and clearer. We don't need bigger icons, small are sufficient, and more elegant here. It's not like the Hat page where you need to see the hat to click on it. Tturbo Killicon ambassadorhs unused.png (Speech voice.png / Intel neutral pickedup.png) 16:18, 25 October 2011 (PDT)

Robot hats

All of the MVM robot hats/misc are missing, as is the gear grinder/oil spill badge. C2Vproductions The Ultimate Nintendo Fan 23:05, 21 October 2012 (PDT)

Fixed. User Ravecrib9t4 Signature Logo.JPG TNS 01:12, 22 October 2012 (PDT)

Nesting issue

All of the lines after the equip region table are inside of it. r 1 [ C T ] 21:31, 31 October 2012 (PDT)

Bearded Bombardier contradiction

On the Bearded Bombardier page in the info, it says that it's a Beard region item, but on this page it says that it's a Face region item. Could someone clear this up? The preceding unsigned comment was added by Reduxist (talk) • (contribs) 20:13, 01 December 2012

Demoman face and mustache.

One of the equip regions for the English page is "Demoman face and mustache" translated into Finnish. I can't seem to get into the table, so I'll let one of you guys do it :D ---- MrFreakshow182 at 18:57 (GMT) on 15th June 2013

You can simply sign your comments with ~~~~. I'll take a look, thanks. – Smashman (talk) 10:58, 15 June 2013 (PDT)

Heart of Gold Needs on the Medal portion on the List of Equip Regions.

I checked and as of this post it isnt on there. I'd do it myself but i'm rather new to editing pages and i couldnt figure it out.

Yes it does. I will update this entire list later on, thanks for pointing it out. User Moussekateer signature sprite.pngMoussekateer·talk 03:13, 3 December 2013 (PST)

Class Sorting?

Since the list is already some kind of table, shouldn't it be split into separate columns for the classes? I'm thinking, since this list orders the items by directly relevant and observable properties, as opposed the introduction date based sorting used everywhere else on the wiki, it's probably the most useful list already. Having it all in one column makes it somewhat hard to read, though, and I really don't see the harm changing this. LupoCani (talk) 12:55, 13 October 2014 (PDT)

Most of the template is done through a script that automatically outputs the contents once the updated tf_english.txt and items_game.txt files are run through it. To change how the template is arranged would require a large part of that script to be changed. --Omolong (talk) 17:46, 13 October 2014 (PDT)
How large an undertaking would this be? Where can this script be found?LupoCani (talk) 13:41, 14 October 2014 (PDT)
No idea how large an undertaking it would be, I didn't make the script and I don't understand Python (the language it's written in). I can also never remember where I got it from in the first place. --Omolong (talk) 13:44, 14 October 2014 (PDT)
If you have it, (And it's probably mousse's) I can edit it for you. LupoCani: Can you make a sample/describe more precisely what you want? Darkid (Talk | Contribs) 13:50, 14 October 2014 (PDT)
Yeah, I'm pretty sure it was originally Mousse's, I just can't remember where I downloaded it from. But here, that's my most up to date version. It includes all the tournament medals and such. Though we could probably do with something to automatically add in items without an equip region as well, but I've got no clue how to go about that. --Omolong (talk) 13:54, 14 October 2014 (PDT)
Alright, preciseness. What I suggest is that the items in each row be sorted into columns by what class they belong to. Ten columns would be preferable, one for each class plus one for all-class items. Items equipable by multiple classes, but not all, could get duplicate entries in the different columns.
Of course, the only reason I suggest this is because I think the wiki should have region-sorted and readable a list somewhere, and this is the one that is the closest at the moment. After all, the first thing you'll notice or want to know about an item is if it's a hat or a shirt, not what update it was introduced in. Having such a list somewhere on the wiki is what I'm actually trying to suggest, not that it specifically be found here. Before anyone codes anything, it should be considered whether it's the optimal place to keep it.LupoCani (talk) 14:54, 14 October 2014 (PDT)
