Strong Bad, Max, and Tycho articles

I figured I'd ask about creating these before I did, since I know that if I created them nobody would ask before taking them down.

Would anyone have a serious problem if I were to create these pages? They would keep the Heavy article from being cluttered with references to his interactions with the other characters from Poker Night at the Inventory. You know, like how the Heavy wants Strong Bad to try out for RED team, or how the Heavy has the hots for Tycho's wife, that sort of thing. Granted, the pages would be short, but they would keep the Heavy's from being too messy. Piggie 06:18, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for asking first. Nothing in Poker Night at the Inventory is considered canon in the TF2 universe and as such none of these characters are relevant to this Wiki. The Heavy's page should not have references to his interactions with them and any necessary linking should be done to Wikipedia or another reputable site. -- - _{(talk | contribs)} -- 06:21, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

They really aren't canon? I find that surprising. Just out of curiosity, did the Valve TF2 team say that or anything, or is just non-canon because it isn't official canon? Piggie 21:17, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Poker Night at the Inventory. It was made by Telltale, with the Heavy licensed by Valve. Here are pastbin credits of Poker Night. http://pastebin.com/4DcafX16 — ventus|talk    21:18, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

Licensing doesn't define whether something is canonical or not; Bungie didn't produce Halo Wars and yet that's canon. It's really just a question of whether or not the original owner decides whether or not it's canon. Not that I mean to argue against you, I was just clarifying. Piggie 21:24, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

Valve said it was not canon. They had direct input on the dialogue to make sure that it fit the Heavy's style, just like all of the other property owners, but nothing he says should be considered as having occurred in the TF2 universe unless there is direct confirmation otherwise. -- - _{(talk | contribs)} -- 21:27, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

Just out of curiosity, is there an interview or forum post that has Valve specifically saying Heavy's dialog is not to be considered canon? --Mar 21:32, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

Why is your policy "non-canon until proven otherwise"? Why can't it be the other way around? Just saying. Stab ! 22:43, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

Obviously, the Heavy, Tycho, Max and Strong Bag can't live in the same universe. And well, if the Mac comic isn't canon, why this game, less TF2 related, it is? Sr Domi 22:45, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

...the Mac comic isn't canon? ...why not? Piggie 22:50, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

Because valve said it on the TF2 Blog. And well, it's impossible to fit it on the TF2 Universe. Sr Domi 22:51, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

See, you just applied my logic here. It should be canon unless Valve says otherwise (in my opinion, of course) Stab ! 15:11, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

Language of main page

I'm TF2 user of South Korea We are doing translation wiki, and it translated 10% now (Team_Fortress_Wiki:Translation_progress) When we can see Korean in Main_Page? Bellona 17:51, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

 Done. seb26 [talk] 21:04, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

Thanks! Bellona 06:59, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

Beta Trivia

We're getting quite a lot of trivia/info on beta items/maps etc. in the main articles. Good or bad?

 Oppose: The entire point of the beta is changing stuff often. We don't want to update the stats every day. --CruelCow ^(talk) 01:25, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

 Oppose: Totally agree with CruelCow's point. —Moussekateer·talk 01:27, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

Oh, I thought you were about to introduce a system where you vote on trivia to see if it'll pass. Anyway.
