Rottenburg Reversion

The statement "The buildings in the Rottenburg map and in this Barvarian town bear remarkable similarity." is no mean speculation. From the first play, I thought Valve nailed it. Now seeing the pictures of Rothenburg, I know why. I thought about matching up photos of Rothenburg and Rottenburg buildings, but that would be original research? Any point to contacting Valve? Rothenburg is source material for media. Mikado282 (talk) 17:29, 12 January 2014 (PST)

I see well that is fine, however the movie similarities on the other end don't really fit well in it. I understand the research part. So thats fine. Ashes (talk) 18:50, 12 January 2014 (PST)

So, you don't mind if I re-revert the similarity statement. Not that I don't see a problem with it; it does border on wiggle words without confirmation from valve? Thinking of uploading snapshot of the clock towers side by side. Appropriate? Worth it? The movie references were not about the similarities -- the movies were filmed at Rothenburg, so if there is a building in the map based on the town, you could see it in a movie. My 15yo son has barely played Rottenburg, yet he recognized the Rothenburg photo in an instant. I see you prefer to converse on the others talk page -- mine is now up. Mikado282 (talk) 19:08, 12 January 2014 (PST)

Image uploads won't be necessary. As for the revert, I would keep the movie film locations out for now. The similarities is fine though. Just remove the movie parts for now. Thats all I really have to say. Ashes (talk) 19:32, 12 January 2014 (PST)

About undoing recent changes.

It'd be a great idea to, instead of immediately undoing the edit because you assume it's incorrect, you A. Check the topic at hand out yourself, and/or B. at least look at the changes, as not all of them are just adding in small parts of advice, but are also fixing grammar.

Did you know

<math>Insert formula here</math> I will read them but I thought that it was rather interesting — The preceding unsigned comment was added by Krazy4golf (talk) • (contribs)

To you yes, however it was a rather obvious trivia. Takes 5-10 minutes to play on Degroot Keep to figure it out. :) Ashes 09:09, 13 November 2012 (PST)

I added a new fact hopes this one works

Can you help me

Im trying to create my page can you put a user info box in for me — The preceding unsigned comment was added by krazy4golf (talk) • (contribs)

(Talk page stalker) Just add {{User infobox}} to your page. Darkid (|) 12:45, 13 November 2012 (PST)

Adding unusual info

Hmm... well... oh dear. Before I get to work undoing all that (help would be appreciated, my computer is slow), can you give me a link to this page? -Zykx 12:54, 15 November 2012 (PST)

Ah, I was wondering if you meant that page, but I didn't think you did as you mentioned a page which also shows which hats cannot be uncrated in Unusual quality. No problem, I'll continue adding the Unusual tag and I'll pop in on the IRC in a bit. :) -Zykx

User Files

Hello. If you find user files with the wrong name, you can mark them with the {{move}} template instead of the {{delete}} template. User files with the wrong name are only deleted in certain situations.  –  Epic Eric (T | C) 10:49, 13 December 2012 (PST)

RE: Paintability of new promos

Don't ask me, ask whoever put "yes" in the paint field in the infoboxes. -Zykx 16:23, 22 February 2013 (PST)

Okay, firstly, you were the one who created said pages, filling in the paint fields with "yes" despite not knowing whether they were paintable or not... then telling me to "not always believe what's in the infobox".

Secondly, unless you are watching my userpage intently, I like to reply to people's messages on their own userpage where they will get the notification, as is customary for any other wiki I've ever been on. Please tell me where I've gone wrong as I'm not understanding your logic.

-Zykx 16:30, 22 February 2013 (PST)

Noticed that after creating the pages. I'm merely using a copied template I use for new pages. the paintablity option happened to be put as yes instead no by default. Also I'm on the IRC, So user talks are also logged. Thats why I ask if we just keep it on one user talk page. Not blaming you or anything but, just saying if you have doubts check the schema. Ashes 16:33, 22 February 2013 (PST)

Ah, that makes sense. Will do in future. -Zykx 16:40, 22 February 2013 (PST)

Stars and Stripes beats Hammer and Sickle, LOOK IT UP!

This technique could be frowned upon by some, but I go to the gallery of one of the other badges (Usually the Mercenary one) and look at the name of that item. Then go back to the one being edited (Soldier of Fortune in this case) and type out the caption, except replace the badge name in the caption with the subject one. Let me give an example...

Say I didn't know English, yes? I'd look at the Mercenary Gallery, look at the caption, copy it to the Soldier of Fortune Gallery to the right picture, then look at the name of both the Soldier and Fortune and Mercenary. I'd then trim out the "Mercenary" part in the caption and replace it with "Soldier of Fortune" and for class names, simply look in the other gallery, since in these cases, there's one of two galleries that have the class names if I need to write them down.

It seems complicated, but it's actually a little easier as you're doing it. [UGS 2nd]Lancer @nti-tank Rocket 20:32, 28 February 2013 (GMT)

Future reference, Keep it on one talk page. 2nd, Sooo you're basically assuming a translation? Btw I'm talking about the descriptions.

Example:The Scout's Soldier of Fortune medal. -> Die Glücksrittermedaille der Scout. Ashes 12:38, 28 February 2013 (PST)

Sort of. "Assuming" implies I'm using something like Google Translate or whatever. I'm taking the words from the wiki itself, as they appear on a very similar page and recycling them in a sense, for the active editing page. You could argue I'm just banging rocks together here, but I'm not really taking on the full challenge of ripping into the language pages properly and translating them, just cleaning and improving the quality of existing ones a bit. [UGS 2nd]Lancer @nti-tank Rocket 20:44, 28 February 2013 (GMT)

Wait.

You informed me how you spouse to include one item in the update history, but then in the Editor's Summary you say "Nevermind :P". So, you made a mistake? BleedinSkull

I was right the first time. Someone on the IRC Eels... kinda tricked me. My bad :P Ashes 15:16, 28 February 2013 (PST)

Request for translators

For those who translate, Could you please create language categories for your language: http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Special:WantedCategories

That would be great! Thanks :D Ashes 08:07, 3 March 2013 (PST)

Adding section headers in other languages

Please do not add english section headers ("Painted Variants") etc in other languages. Use {{common string|painted variants}} instead. Darkid (|) 19:08, 3 March 2013 (PST)

Attempted the use of common string before. Most languages aren't entered. So just leave em red or just leave em out overall? Ashes 19:12, 3 March 2013 (PST)

Use the common string template. Edit the dictionary to add the strings you found in other languages. Do not, under any circumstance, leave english text on other language pages without a {{update trans}} tag. Darkid (|) 19:14, 3 March 2013 (PST)

Mk, Acknowledged. Though gonna have to find the "Correct" translation of it. Only ones I'm really looking for are strange variants, related achievements and damage and functions. If you can help me find em that'd be great. Anyways, Searching time. Ashes 19:16, 3 March 2013 (PST)

Correct translation, only sortof. By adding the dictionary entry, it will allow the translators to settle on a correct translation, and change it easily. Add section headers in {{Dictionary/common strings}} for those three. Darkid (|) 19:17, 3 March 2013 (PST)

Added, correct me if I'm wrong cause I never added a dictionary entry before :P. (only edited existing) Ashes 19:27, 3 March 2013 (PST)

About painted hats tables

Should we really include unpainted hats in them? It seems that it defeats the purpose--and is rather tedious to add. I'm thinking we start a Discussion about it. Darkid (|) 06:56, 14 March 2013 (PDT)

Hm. Good point. Since I noticed in the rest of the tables have "unpaintable" hats in the table. Ashes 12:05, 14 March 2013 (PDT)

I tried I did I try

But erry time I try ta categorize sumthin, you come and pull eet all from under me feet! IS THIS a JOKE, or is it a sad sad sad sad attempt to get me down?

(So how do I know what fantastic categories to use?)--Samuel Enthers 18:22, 20 March 2013 (PDT)

Keep it one page next time. Once again, Snoop around. Check existing categories or check similar contents to see where they would go. That what I do. Ashes 18:23, 20 March 2013 (PDT)

Regarding painted images

The main issue that needed improving was the rotation. The rotations page gave the same rotation as the one on the Mann Co cap page, so I had to make a new rotation from scratch. That's why it's different.

Secondly, it looks fuzzy because the thumbnails need to update. The fuzzy images and bad transparancy was from the previous owner. If you look at the server-side pictures, they look much clearer.

If there are any more issues, I can help. --Samuel Enthers 13:13, 23 March 2013 (PDT)

Regarding videos

We have videos for almost every other tool on the Wiki. Unless it's impossible to record, we should have videos for the ones that don't. --Samuel Enthers 14:33, 24 March 2013 (PDT)

Memes

I am sorry about the memes. I would delete the pages; its just I just don't know how to delete them. If you could can you delete them for me? I made 3 in total, so I guess you could just delete these and the contributions on my page too? Also I am pretty new at doing any Wiki stuff so I am sorry if I upset you or anyone else. I thought I could help improve the Meme page by adding these but I guess not. Here are the links (I hope):

Sorry :( Just An Average Toaster 15:20, 27 March 2013 (PDT)

Well they were deleted. Perhaps taking a look at the guides on the wiki. They should help you out. Also pop on the IRC more often if you need help.

I half-expected your early edits to be Lovecraftian horrors and I was quite Wary, but you learned quickly. Will you now vanish into thin air, or have all of the Warm fuzzies in your Talk page encouraged you to stick around? Some will tell you to take your Cap and run, Warning you to escape while you can.

mass redirects

This is about the german Summer_Appetizer_Key. I wanted to note that it needs a specific link, a link which localized to the specific Mann Co. Supply Crate Key#"future german name" if it should work in the future and to be not redundant! Hopefully you find a solution for it. As it is now it only works as long as the english name is fix forever, which isnt long. Magicalpony (talk) 01:24, 3 July 2013 (PDT)

Its a temporary redirect until an offical STS translation of the name is put through. Once it is put through on the article, The redirect anchor can be changed. So its really about waiting for that one STS translation. Not a big issue. Easy fix. Ashes (talk) 01:28, 3 July 2013 (PDT)

Okay. I just hoped with: [[Mann Co. Supply Crate Key#{{item name|Mann Co. Supply Crate Key}}]] we dont need to change and add redirects and change later the anchors. Magicalpony (talk) 01:32, 3 July 2013 (PDT)

Well I make the redirects mainly to prevent someone from making the actual page on that name. Besides, Fixing the redirects isn't a big issue really. Speaking of that, If you come across any Redirects that don't work properly throw them my way. Ashes (talk) 01:34, 3 July 2013 (PDT)

Fortress Forever class images

Hey Ashes, I saw that you edited those pictures I uploaded, removing the "Another license" license in the process. I think it was added to that "incorrectly" even though similar images (namely the GG2 class images) have the same categories. When uploading images, is there a way to prevent the "incorrect" notice WHILE uploading the image (even though it was correct [fair use]), or is it always going to take another edit to remove the notice? I hate making more work for other people and if I can prevent it myself in a single step then I will. ~Sven~ (talk) 17:08, 8 July 2013 (PDT)

Usually it shouldn't do that. Just try selecting a license via the drop down first then add it into the summary. Otherwise manually remove it. Ashes (talk) 18:02, 8 July 2013 (PDT)

Will do. Thanks!~Sven~ (talk) 19:07, 8 July 2013 (PDT)

Wiki help.

I got your message about using the preview button more often. I would actually like a list of the do's and don't's of the TF2 wiki so as to not have myself start screwing things up around here.

Here are the things I currently know:

1: Do not use auto translators on pages that need translating.

2: Do not post irrelevant entries to any page.

3: Do not post things that have not happened yet.

4: Do not remove anything that does not need removal.

5: Do not add anything that does not need addition.

6: Don't beg for a wiki cap. (That's a given)

7: Don't make pages unrelated to anything about TF2.

I would like to know more about the wiki and how it functions so i can improve this site better. I'm going to need some coding giblets before I start though.

Wouldn't really say "wasted". You just translated some wrong categories is all. Ashes (talk) 17:13, 29 November 2013 (PST)

By the way, May I translate Category:Images/ja ? I think it doesn't violate the Wiki rules. -- Tomate045 (talk) 04:28, 4 December 2013 (PST)

It should be fine. If there are multiple translations to it via the left side (probably right side for you), Then by all means go for it. As long as it doesn't involve templates :P. But anything you're unsure of, run it by me. Ashes (talk) 07:29, 4 December 2013 (PST)

Translating categories

I appreciate the enthusiasm for translation (and removal of redlinks), but please be sure to only pull categories from the WantedCategories list to be translated--and also check if the really are needed. One of your requestees got a little out of hand. Darkid (|) 17:07, 29 November 2013 (PST)

Those red links were from the Wanted Categories. He went off on his own there. Ashes (talk) 17:11, 29 November 2013 (PST)

Category:Templates/ja. Darkid (|) 17:12, 29 November 2013 (PST)

Oh that one. Yeah my bad. Seems i may have rushed that one. Sorry bout that. Will keep it in mind. Ashes (talk)

Spell page changes

Thank for fixing my edit that wasn't done right but I am still unable to figure how to change the right side of the giftable table to no, this item can no longer be gift wrapped, I tested it on 3 accounts and there is no option to choose any of the spell pages to be gift wrapped anymore. Thanks for your Help! — The preceding unsigned comment was added by Randinie (talk) • (contribs)

I've already fixed it. You put giftable. The template accepts only the word gift = yes/no. Ashes (talk) 16:22, 29 December 2013 (PST)

Australium Info

I think the information is good. What's wrong with it?GTAS1234 (talk) 16:25, 29 December 2013 (PST)

The info you put is already mentioned in the infobox under its availability. Adding what you did would be irrelevant. Similar to how there is no mention of festives or botkillers, then the australiums are no exception to it. Ashes (talk) 16:26, 29 December 2013 (PST)

Damn. Didn't notice that. Guess I should be more careful. I think it's because the pages are messed up. Or am I the only one who sees it that way?GTAS1234 (talk) 16:29, 29 December 2013 (PST)

Probably just you. Ashes (talk) 16:34, 29 December 2013 (PST)

Guess I better try and fix it then:) It appears to be an issue with the rotating images. Any ideas?GTAS1234 (talk) 16:35, 29 December 2013 (PST)

The 3D images. No idea. Hop on the IRC, maybe someone else can help. Ashes (talk) 16:42, 29 December 2013 (PST)

Figured it out. I cleared everything on my browser (cache, etc) and it fixed the problem. Thanks for the advice. The spam ends now:PGTAS1234 (talk) 16:47, 29 December 2013 (PST)

The problem was Template:Avail not allowing more than 9 values. It's fixed now

MvM mission tables

Thanks again for solo-creating all of these. However, the formatting for bonuses is slightly inconsistent, and I was wondering what you (as the primary creator) were intending. For example, Benign Infiltration lists 5.0x über charge rate, whereas Hamlet Hostility uses damage penalty 0.33x. Additionally, the tables could be rewritten to use {{pro}} and {{con}}, such as:  33% increase in damage. Thoughts? Darkid (Talk | Contribs) 16:47, 3 January 2014 (PST)

I've noticed the inconsistency for awhile. And yes I've been trying to figure out a new way to list all the attributes in a different way. The pro and con templates could be useful I would say. However the mass amounts of time to change things. And the bonuses should be listed as <number> <attribute>. Which I've noticed is messed. I very well appreciate that you noticed it though! Ashes (talk) 16:53, 3 January 2014 (PST)

If we can pick a consistent styling, I've got the time to make all the relevant changes. Darkid (Talk | Contribs) 17:35, 3 January 2014 (PST)

What i was thinking, I agree with your format. the pro <number> <attribute> . Same with cons and what not. Ashes (talk) 17:51, 3 January 2014 (PST)

Follow-up: Can you look over this revision, and make sure I haven't misunderstood what you meant? Darkid (Talk | Contribs) 09:19, 10 January 2014 (PST)

It looks good. Should be fine. Ashes (talk) 10:22, 10 January 2014 (PST)

{{Mvm mission cave-in}}

This table confuses me in a few ways:

• Generally, why are some of the waves tooltipped? The naming convention is standard here.
• Wave 1A: 1/4 + 1/4 ≠ 1. Where did the other half go?
• Wave 1B vs Wave 4: 2/3 goes to 1/2 and 1/2 vs 1/2 goes to 1/4 and 1/4.
• Wave 5C and 5D: Are these scouts grouped?
• Wave 6A-1 and 6A-2: Why aren't these just combined, or listed with colored groups?
• Wave 6B-1 and 6B-2: Why aren't these just combined, or listed with colored groups?

Thanks Darkid (Talk | Contribs) 20:29, 3 January 2014 (PST)

I generally did not make this table. However I'll see what I can do to fix some of this. Cause it kinda does look wonky. I'll see what I can do. Ashes (talk) 20:35, 3 January 2014 (PST)

Yeah I did that one, back when I had the time for it. Here's what's up:

• Waves are tooltipped to elaborate on whether it's "after X has finished spawning" or "after X is all dead". If not tooltipped they're in action from the start.
• 1A: 1/4 of the bots flank right, 1/4 flank left, and the rest don't have any special behaviour.
• 1B: Two out of every three Scouts are stunners. Half of those are expert, the other half is hard. I don't quite remember whether this is equivalent to saying "1/3 easy scouts, 1/3 expert stunners, 1/3 hard stunners" (it might not be, depending on how it's set up).
• 4: Half the bots are expert stunners, half are easy scouts. For both these halves, a quarter flanks left, a quarter flanks right, and the other half has no special behaviour.
• 5C/5D: Well I didn't mark them as grouped, so they probably aren't.
• 6: As I originally intended it, coloured groups were to mark one of two things:
  • The bots in the group are spawned as a squad.
  • The bots in the group are part of a random choice.
• The reason 6A-1 and 6A-2 are split is because the Tanks only appear once 6A-2 is done spawning, regardless of where 6A-1 is at. 6B-1 and 6B-2 are spit for the same reason (6C starts once 6B-1 has fully spawned).

Toomai Glittershine 21:36, 11 January 2014 (PST)

I normally would have followed that format above but i had no idea what it meant, so yeah. Ashes (talk) 21:42, 11 January 2014 (PST)

Alright, the majority of my confusion came from normal scouts (non-flanking) not being listed, but I understand that now. Darkid (Talk | Contribs) 21:43, 11 January 2014 (PST)

MvM table spawns and routes

It seems important to note in MvM tables where things are coming from and where they go. That is, it would be useful to know whether the bots in Mannhattan are coming from the lower or upper spawn, or whether the Tanks in Rottenburg are going through the tunnel path or not. I'm not sure how you'd implement this but it seems needed. Toomai Glittershine 13:07, 14 January 2014 (PST)

Yeah i've been trying to figure out a way to implement those paths. Similar to how "bot uses special left" or something. But I can't get a proper layout without messing up the table and make it a cluster. Ashes (talk) 13:47, 14 January 2014 (PST)

um... How about using the cursor hover thing... The black dot? StarHorder 13:53, 14 January 2014 (PST)

That would be a bit complicated. As the spawns differ for each. So the info hover wouldn't work. Ashes (talk) 13:59, 14 January 2014 (PST)

Hamlet Hostility

You list the flare pyros on wave 2B as "damage bonus 1.0x". Do you mean they deal 100% additional damage? Darkid (Talk | Contribs) 06:26, 21 January 2014 (PST)

I was going off of the .pop standard file. 1.0x dmg I would assume would be 100% additional. I'll see what I can figure out. Ashes (talk) 07:26, 21 January 2014 (PST)

I'm pretty sure that a damage bonus of 1.0x means "normal damage". It would be in a file in order to override a damage bonus that's part of a robot's template. For example, the Bowmen template does 0.5x damage, but setting their damage bonus to 1.0x will override that and cause them to deal regular damage. Toomai Glittershine 16:05, 23 January 2014 (PST)

Noh Mercy

You undid my edit. I have noticed that the original spy mascot for the gamemode The Hidden [[The Hidden|(see for yourself), is shown wearing the Noh Mercy. --Tordenofitami (talk) 16:12, 3 February 2014 (PST)

And... your point...? Its not notable at all regardless. Doesn't follow wiki guidelines. Ashes (talk) 17:13, 3 February 2014 (PST)

To clarify, a detail like that in a community-made mod doesn't have relevance in a page about an item officially in-game. (contribs ▪ talk) 17:18, 3 February 2014 (PST)

Fed/Bolt MVM bots

Question: If the Super Scout is on the Bonk Boy page, and Captain Punch is on the War Head paghe, what's the matter with my edit? Just wondering.
