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.

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)

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)

i think we need robot's new taunts because more funny =) ~Yuj09126~ (talk) 08:19, 22 June 2014 (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)

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)

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)

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)

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)

TF2 Beta link

Being the TF2 beta is completely defunct these days I think we should replace the link with something else. Having historical articles on it makes sense, it being important enough to have on our frontpage doesn't in my opinion. My suggestion would be a Major Updates link. Theharribokid (talk) 18:09, 19 June 2014 (PDT)

There is no "All class cosmetics" page?

I was looking at the cosmetic items of the classes and noticed the List of All class cosmetics page is completely empty. I thought that maybe the page linked on the Cosmetic items page was not correct and there was a correct page elsewhere but when I googled this, it was the only page that appeared other than the obviously outdated tf2wiki's page (found here). I'm not sure if we have never had an all class cosmetic page or if it was deleted when it was last modified over a year ago, but we shouldn't ignore the hats that can be worn by every class considering we are the wiki of the one and only hat simulator for crying out loud...

Just so you know I am completely new to the wiki and wiki editing for that matter but I might try creating/fixing the page myself if no else is up to it. I have been a fan of you guys' hard work for years and I'm surprised I haven't joined the wiki sooner. Midlight (talk) 10:04, 21 July 2014 (PDT)

Out-dated main-pages

The https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Main_Page/zh-hant page has a patches section instead of weapons in the Index. Also, Trading is in the wrong spot.

The http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Main_Page/hu page has an out-dated hats section in the index, and has an out-dated game modes picture

The http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Main_Page/no has an out-dated hats section (should be cosmetics with different picture)

The http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Main_Page/pt has an out-dated hats section (should be cosmetics with different picture)

The http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Main_Page/sv has an out-dated hats section (should be cosmetics with different picture) and has slightly smaller game mode picture in the index

There are several that you can find via Mods -Fuzzeh! (talk) 20:18, 10 August 2014 (PDT)

Should we update the latest update page?Its 16th and it still says 13th and 14th were yesterday and today Doctor medic (talk) 05:37, 16 August 2014 (PDT)

The main page says "(3 days ago)" and "(2 days ago)", respectively. Maybe there is a problem with your cache or something?.

Also, please create a new topic with the title == NAME OF THE TOPIC == instead of using four ---- to separate it. SackZement <Talk> 05:52, 16 August 2014 (PDT)

Weapon Modeling Tutorial

dont we need a page that tells players how they can make weapons, hats or cosmetics Villager3056 (talk) 03:09, 23 August 2014 (PDT)

This is not only limited to TF2 and thus better covered by the Source Developer Wiki. SackZement <Talk> 03:16, 23 August 2014 (PDT)

Outdated

There are two things that seem to bug me, and those things are the Featured Article & Did You Know... sections. The Engineer Update was featured for a couple months (I think), and the Did You Know... section should have new content as well. You can recycle old content, I wouldn't care, but these things NEED TO CHANGE!!! M15513c0mm4nd (talk) 18:14, 17 September 2014 (PDT)

I second that. The featured article is over a year old and well overdue for a change. There are several more "Did You Know?" to be shown, and some will never be shown for years at this rate. I suggest at least monthly changes, since the main page is getting disgustingly bland. Admins, please notice this message. --  Heeeeyyyy, everybody! It's Meester Tweester!   21:55, 21 September 2014 (PDT)

Featured article updates slowly due to a lack of articles of high quality. Please see TFW:Featured articles to suggest new articles.

Did You Know requires user submissions, and is updated as soon as 9 new DYKs are available.

If you need something from the staff, 2-3 staff members are generally on the IRC. If it's particularly urgent, say "~staff" in chat. Darkid (Talk | Contribs) 12:36, 18 October 2014 (PDT)

Well, there is plenty more than 9 DYKs available. I am sick and tired of seeing the "zombie spy" trivia every time I come here. --  Heeeeyyyy, everybody! It's Meester Tweester!   20:14, 23 March 2015 (PDT)

help with making my user page nicer

i know that this post is not the place for here, but i really need help with those user boxes and stuff, any help would be appreciated. Villager3056 (talk) 06:49, 23 September 2014 (PDT)

a clan page

Is it a idea to add a page about populair clans on TF2 or Steam. So yes, can i add the page Villager3056 (talk) 02:33, 22 October 2014 (PDT)

 Nope. We did that a long time ago, it didn't turn out well. --Piemanmoo 03:32, 22 October 2014 (PDT)

Please add posts to the bottom of discussion pages.

This page is not for general discussion. Please see TFW:Discussion instead.

I only saw a teaser page, not a released update. Do you have more information?

Darkid (Talk | Contribs) 14:02, 29 October 2014 (PDT)

Im saying we need to get everything ready for when the update does release, hell its only a few hours from now, dosnt hurt to be prepared, just set a bunch of shell pages and we will fill them in when we get information --This just got signed by Doctor Martex (talk) 15:44, 29 October 2014 (PDT)

Latest update

Since the End of the Line update was released on December the 8th and it is December 20th i think that we need to put at least something in there so that people know

So that people know what? Also, please sign talk post edits by adding a ~~~~ at the end of your edits. -- atf412 (talk) 09:18, 20 December 2014 (PST)

Smissmas 2014

No links or anything, just saying , this smissmas has 3 new weapons, now that may look bad , but there are pretty amazing festives. By the way , just adding this , nothing serious but what do you think about the festive and new weapons. — The preceding unsigned comment was added by Evolvedsauron‎ (talk) • (contribs)

Did you Know...

Its been a while since any trivia has been added to the main page. given there's plenty to choose from, can we have someone in charge to check those and put them to good use? Metaru (talk) 06:07, 29 March 2015 (PDT)

Deleting Accounts

Hi, I'd like to delete my account or at the very least hide it. I don't know where to put this. Bluemen230 (talk) 17:33, 17 July 2015 (PDT)

It is not possible to delete or hide wiki accounts but we can rename it to something that contains random characters or the like so no one knows it is your account. Please provide a new (random) user name if you agree with that. SackZement <Talk> 00:22, 18 July 2015 (PDT)

I also want to delete my data from wiki.teamfortress.com and dev.wiki.tf. But i can not find where to create a ticket. <GDPR> --DeletedUser1042 (talk) 20:31, 31 May 2018 (UTC)

Thin layout

How about fixing the layout to work better with viewports with small widths?--Henke37 (talk) 07:22, 2 September 2015 (PDT)

New featured article?

PASS Time should be featured on the front page.

Or you could revamp the whole Wiki itself?

Just some thoughts …

TheSwaggiestLoser (talk) 12:05, 8 July 2016 (PDT)

Featured articles are only changed once in awhile and we only put what is nominated. PASS time isn't nominated to be a featured article and since it just came out of Beta,

It most likely will not be until all changes are done. Same with the formatting as it still needs work for the page. Ashes (talk) 12:08, 8 July 2016 (PDT)

Fix language tab on right side menu

When visitors is located on english version of main page, they cant change language through right menu. It's uncomfortable. MirScout 03:43, 13 April 2017 (PDT)

Are we unable to have Collapsible elements?

I've made attempts to make collapsible elements, or tables rather, no progress. I wonder if they disabled/ban the collapsible element, feedback/help would be appreciated. MikeMan2332 (talk) 06:13, 30 October 2017 (PDT)

We indeed have collapsible elements, look no further than the table at the top of this very page. I think there's not much more to it than just adding a 'collapsible' class to the table, something like {| class="wikitable collapsible" .... { TidB | t | c } 06:20, 30 October 2017 (PDT)

Adding New Content

Is it me, or has the Main Page stayed the same for a while now. I feel like we should change the featured article from the Gunslinger to something else. It has been the Featured Article for a long time. Change it to a weekly featured article. Also, if possible maybe we can add a monthly/weekly poll for users to use, so we can see their TF2 info and help the users get more involved in the Wiki. One final idea is to have the Team Fortress 2 page put on the index of the Main Page. If anyone has more ideas, add them to the bottom, we can make some great contributions to the Wiki this way!

Index update 2019

1. Shouldn't one of Contracker or Jungle Inferno Campaign take the place of something on the Index Column 1 or 3?
2. Shouldn't Comics take the place of something on the Index Column 1 or 3?

Maybe Item Quality and Critical Hits go.

An idea for translated main page

There is a navigation section which showed "Guidelines", "Discussion" etc, which doesn't appear for translated home pages.

And so Dereko tried adding a navigation (which is also shared with other important zh-hans pages) right there to improve the zh-hans page, though without a formal discussion (please forgive me if it's rude).
The navigation section includes useful links for both translators and visitors, from where they can enter translation progress page much easilier than before, or use another page I am working on to search for pages using Chinese names.

You can have a look at here (very clear with a Chinese TF Logo), and Dereko wonders if it's ok to keep it.

Thanks for spending time here :D 14:11, 17 November 2019 (UTC)

Hyperlink name: why don't we just call it 'archive'?

Dear people of the TF wiki,

In the Featured article section, there's a 'Previously featured' hyperlink.

but the page which through the hyperlink has current featured article, not only previous featured articles.

why don't we just named that hyperlink as 'archive'? It would be much appropriate name. 123rse (talk) 08:51, 22 November 2019 (UTC)

The previous featured articles are right below the current featured article. See Template:FeaturedArticle#Previous_featured_articles — Tark lm(pt-br) 17:04, 25 January 2020 (UTC)

Should some form of warning be put in place regarding the leak?

Source code for TF2 and CSGO was leaked, allowing for RCE. I think some form of warning advising players not to play until Valve responds would be appropriate. InfernalShroom (Talk) 17:43, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

Yes
GrampaSwood (talk) 17:45, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

Either of you can make a template (similar to Rick May's Memorial) and I'll put it on the main page. - ▪ - 17:57, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

I feel like having it on every page would be a bit overkill if we already have it on the main page, what do the others think? VasyaTheWizard ^{(talk) • (contributions)} 18:25, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

I'd put it on every page. Banner blindness and stuff. And not everyone visits the wiki through the main page, and this is vital information. { TidB | t | c } 18:27, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

I agree, putting this warning on every page will ensure that anyone who visits the wiki will see it. InfernalShroom (Talk) 18:29, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

The situation is extraordinary and requires that we inform this everyone that comes here and at all times - that means putting the banner everywhere. In "best" case scenario the game becomes unplayable thanks to "just" exploits found in the engine, and at worst we have a real disaster in form of RCE, with a possibility of more than just 1 method of doing that. Goodjob (talk)

Good points, I'll look into if it's possible to have it visible on all pages without editing every single page for it. VasyaTheWizard ^{(talk) • (contributions)} 18:37, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

The global notice doesn't seem to be working on every page. - ▪ - 18:51, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

Rick May's date of death is incorrect

As mentioned in the Tribute to Rick May and Rick May Wikipedia article, he passed away on April 8,2020. However, the "Latest Updates" section of main page incorrectly lists it as April 13, 2020. InfernalShroom (Talk) 22:17, 6 May 2020 (UTC)
