That Pyro loves saying random nonsense. RED Mart Security 21:17, 24 June 2012 (PDT)

I need some help with that Porntuguese of yours

Disciplinary Action/pt-br needs an "as a crafting ingredient" section, and you seem like you're the right guy to handle the hoovy dooty stoof. rZ 05:29, 26 June 2012 (PDT)

Question

Hello, I recently saw your removal of my Trivia on the Hazmat Headcase. While you are allowed to remove it if you feel it is necessary, I do believe it is relevant to the item. The definition of 'Headcase' combined with it being an item for the Pyro and it being released on the same day that we learned how insane the pyro is, I believe it is worth being noted in the Trivia section. Anyway, thanks for your time. LazerEagle1 23:45, 29 June 2012 (PDT)

Putting the {{backpack item}} discussion in that news template didn't get more people to do it. Having a sitenotice about it would be too far. What do we do? We are runnin' outa op-shinz. rZ 13:04, 14 July 2012 (PDT)

vOv Maybe you can ask individual people to add their opinion? Just try not to be invasive/spammy about it.  –  Epic Eric (T | C) 02:49, 15 July 2012 (PDT)

Yeah, so I'll individually ask a bunch of people without being spammy. (Just in case you dun realize, that's pretty impossibru. :<) Maybe we should consider a simple collapsible sitenotice. rZ 11:07, 16 July 2012 (PDT)

Butbutbut that's even spammier. Well, just cross your fingers and hope that more people notice it.  –  Epic Eric (T | C) 12:06, 18 July 2012 (PDT)

An idea for alphabetics disambiguation pages

I have an idea for the translation of alphabetics disambiguations pages. See my exemple (in french) and say me if it's a good idea or not. Kero Zen 04:10, 17 July 2012 (PDT)

I have two issues with this:

• First, disambiguations in other languages should ideally point out to pages in that language. Which means: /fr disambigs point to other /fr pages, not /en pages;
• Second, these "alphabetic disambiguations" (as you call them) were removed because they are orphaned and no-one would type "AA/fr" or "HH/de" or "CC/pt-br" or anything similar in the search bar.

I would be glad to see other possibilities to solve this issue, though. But this one wouldn't work. Sorry. :/  –  Epic Eric (T | C) 23:50, 17 July 2012 (PDT)

Thank you for your answer, I stop my work on this pages and I concentrate on other pages more important to translate.Kero Zen 00:54, 18 July 2012 (PDT)

Did you know…

Hi. There are duplicates in some new facts:

• that the Backburner originally granted a bonus of +50 maximum health?
• that when the Scout double or triple jumps with the Atomizer, he will leave a purple smoke puff behind instead of his regular white trail?
• that the Razorback originally had a -15% movement speed reduction on the wearer?
• that a Scout getting gibbed has a 1 in 100 chance of spawning a dove flying out of his body?
• that the Huntsman, Jarate, and an unpacked crate marked "Razorback" can all be seen in the Meet the Spy video?

They all can be found on page Template:Did you know/Previously featured facts. Maybe look for other? --Genuine GAL 06:16, 17 July 2012 (PDT)

Hey, good job spotting these! I'll change them right away.  –  Epic Eric (T | C) 23:54, 17 July 2012 (PDT)

Image Cache

Regarding your recent discussion with me, I wanted to bring to your attention a potential problem.

When I was attempting to correct the Bazooka's killicon, I noticed that the cache was not loading properly, instead displaying the old image as apparently everyone else thought as well. Unfortunately, inside the MediaWiki box, the hyperlink to view to server's view of the image appeared to be not properly formatted.

In short it reads:

[?1343869613 View the most recent version of this file stored on the server]

Instead of :

View the most recent version of this file stored on the server

I attempted to view the server's image by viewing the viewing the image by itself (right-click -> view image) and appending "?1343869613" to the end of the image URL itself. It was incorrect before I reverted it and corrected itself after.

I presume that the hyperlink was what you were referring in order to view the server's image.

Looking around I noticed that there were several image files with this type of problem.

For comparison here is an image file with a valid hyperlink:

http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/File:Healthico.png

And here is one with an invalid link:

http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/File:Painted_Hero%27s_Tail_D8BED8.png

Granted that viewing a server's image cache is not a particular priority, I fear there may be many more images if this becomes a problem.

Ah, I see. Thanks for pointing that out. I'll try to get this issue fixed soon.  –  Epic Eric (T | C) 20:23, 1 August 2012 (PDT)

Gray?!

Hey Eric! I Found a Secret Link Near the F On Free to Play On the TF2 BLOG! Here is the link! http://www.teamfortress.com/gray/ RRaccoon99 18:55, 9 August 2012 (PDT)

Uhh... congrats?  –  Epic Eric (T | C) 19:40, 9 August 2012 (PDT)

YEH! But I'm going to Add Gray to The Nonplayer Chars. RRaccoon99 19:52, 9 August 2012 (PDT)

Dúvidas

Eu acabei de "chegar" na parte de contribuição da Wiki do TF2, e queria que você pudesse tirar algumas dúvidas minhas, se não for incômodo:

- Como funciona a comunidade de pessoas na Wiki? Vendo o seu perfil e de outros usuários e tradutores pt-br da Wiki eu notei que existe uma espécie de "rede social", com informações do usuários, achievements e outras aleatoriedades. Isso é feito pela pessoa, pela comunidade de usuários ou pela própria Wiki?

- Quais páginas é recomendado traduzir ou atualizar? É melhor colocar informações para que a página em pt-br fique idêntica visualmente com a página original ou fazer como você achar melhor?

- Traduzir nome de armas e de achievements? Ou melhor não?

- Quanto tempo demora normalmente até que novos itens tenham, no jogo, seu nome e sua descrição traduzidos? Até lá, é válido deixar o nome do item em pt-br igual ao nome em inglês?

- E finalmente, quanto ao chapéu maroto da TF Wiki, quanto custa para conseguir, em esforço, tempo e qualidade?

Desde já, obrigado pela atenção.

Tradução de páginas

Olá, desculpe por traduzir o nome dos itens novos, ainda sou novo na contribuição da wiki. Quando eu tiver tempo, lerei os links que você me enviou. Eu gostaria de fazer parte da comunidade brasileira da wiki, ajudando em traduções e atualizações. Vou aprender mais sobre como posso contribuir. enquando isso, acho melhor eu não editar nada. :D

Obrigado pela atenção. Kelvin drone 16:19, 16 August 2012 (PDT)

Sem problemas. Caso tenha dúvidas, pode me fazer quaisquer perguntas, nesta página mesmo.  –  Epic Eric (T | C) 17:35, 16 August 2012 (PDT)

in regards to a certain "cap"

hello friend, i was wondering (be this a very bold question) how i could improve my chances of obtaining my very own wiki cap, while i am quite new to the wiki(i may have asked this question already), i am no stranger to tf2 , i really do admire your work on the wiki and i do wish to help, please get back to me as soon as you can, Zackvee 13:30, 29 August 2012 (PDT)

Some strange on main page

Hello. The last fact in 'Did you know…' (the bobble-head civilian in Meet the Sniper is standing on the Team Fortress Classic logo?) was already published. You can check the Previously featured facts. --askarmuk, C? 05:21, 5 September 2012 (PDT)

Thanks for pointing that out. Fixed.  –  Epic Eric (T | C) 12:28, 5 September 2012 (PDT)

Re: {{class infobox}} and {{featured article tag}}

So, I can't use a Bio like the Spy's one, and put my primmary weps, and my fav taunts, or my hats+misc packs... ? Damn it. — The preceding unsigned comment was added by JUGOSILLOSO (talk) • (contribs) 19:48, 9 September 2012 (UTC)

Of course you can. The only problem was with those two templates, which were fixed and removed accordingly. You are free to revert your page to this state, just try to do any additions in a single batch.  –  Epic Eric (T | C) 16:19, 9 September 2012 (PDT)

Template:Current Events

The August 24, 2012 entry should say "Whose birthday is it?" - Tabs 18:23, 9 September 2012 (PDT)

 No. The blog post is titled "Sweet Sixteen".  –  Epic Eric (T | C) 18:48, 9 September 2012 (PDT)

I know, I meant that the sentence right after in the template should either read, "Whose birthday is it?" or "Guess whose birthday it is?" instead of "Whose birthday it is?".  – Tabs 19:21, 9 September 2012 (PDT)

Ah.  Done  –  Epic Eric (T | C) 12:32, 10 September 2012 (PDT)

Ajuda? :3

Pode me ajudar a fazer minha userbox? Não manjo nada desse negócio. — The preceding unsigned comment was added by Omninerd (talk) • (contribs) 20:25, 20 September 2012 (UTC-3)

Infobox. Eu quis dizer infobox. — The preceding unsigned comment was added by Omninerd (talk) • (contribs) 19:06, 29 September 2012 (UTC-3)
