 Hoog support How the BLU article didn't get into featured article? How pootis happen? Hoog support TheGuy299 04:05, 24 December 2012 (PST)

 Support Given that a merge proposal has been made regarding the RED and BLU articles, I think it appropriate to revisit the FA status of RED and BLU. The argument for merge is that the articles are redundant. A counter-argument is that that very redundancy is fundamental to the themes of the articles. If the two articles are intentionally so similar, and if the decision falls against the merge, then BLU should have at least a brief, if long overdue, stint as featured article if only to complete the intended symmetry.

The merge discussion is closed. The result of the discussion was "do not merge". MIKADO282 oOOOOo oo oo 15:19, 21 April 2018 (UTC)

Duck Journal

Very unique page, well-written, and has a lot of information and images on it. Each contents of the page are really well explained and as well listing to other areas of the Wiki. I also think that the "Mann vs. Machine" featured article on the main page are quite outdated, especially as it states "In the newly added Mann vs. Machine game mode...", so we probably need something else for that. ▪ - 22:36, 22 May 2015 (PDT)

 Support Its unique mechanic and attribute make this item worth to be feature article. With good writing and the way to explain the mechanic, I think it should be there. Rikka Takanashi (talk) • (contributions) 20:56, 23 June 2015 (PDT)

 Done! It's rather well-written, and I feel that after the improvements made to the article by Mikado, it definitely deserves to be one. -- LordKelvin 17:49, 30 July 2015 (PDT)

Can you please change the image? The model is too pointy and it doesn't look too good on the main page. I would suggest using the File:Duck Journal.png instead, or the Backpack Icon (though, proper cropped). The only issue with the Backpack Icon would be that the Duck is yellow and not orange as it's in-game. ▪ - 13:59, 12 August 2015 (PDT)

Mannpower

The new mode in development. It has a lot of great information on the mode, powerups, and others. Plus, we really need to change the Featured Article. It's been stuck on "Mann vs Machine" for so long. --Dr. Scaphandre (talk) 17:08, 23 June 2015 (PDT)

Main menu

The main menu page is a well organized page about all the features of the game's main menu. It has organized tables with images of each feature that describe them in full detail, and has quick links to other parts of the wiki. --Dr. Scaphandre (talk) 14:50, 5 October 2015 (PDT)

Decorated

Well... It is an interesting and informative article, and not really long (and boring) at the same time. Also its content is not that old and not that new at the same time. It has lots of pictures for the people who loves images and some nice interface stuff. It is one of the rare articles that I managed to read until its end before I decided to translate it. So... you know. It is nearly the perfect article to be featured. Cagrimanoka/tr - (Say something) 12:02, 24 August 2016 (PDT)

 Support The page is extremely well done with lots of well fleshed out templates. With good writing and explains easily the concept of skins, I agree. -- Dr. Scaphandre 12:05, 24 August 2016 (PDT)

 Done! Well, after a minor hiccup, it's now up. -- Dr. Scaphandre 15:39, 24 August 2016 (PDT)

Gunslinger

The information on this page is well written, well thought out, and really informative. I would love to see this great page featured. --Scunt Main (talk) 10:33, 28 February 2017 (PST)

 Support Agreed. Perfect writing and very informative. It's also very easily understandable in my other main language. Support! --User:47flipfell

 Actually, yes There is a lot to say about it, and a lot was said, by someone(s) capable of saying so clearly and distinctly. It meets the criteria. Mikado282 (talk) 04:18, 14 March 2018 (UTC)

But, now I think it should be first checked that it is current to all patches, especially the October 20, 2017 Patch #1. It may be a few days before I can test this myself. Mikado282 (talk) 18:24, 14 March 2018 (UTC)

I updated it a bit. Is it stable enough now? Mikado282 (talk) 00:40, 29 March 2018 (UTC)

 Done — Tark lm(pt-br) 00:45, 16 April 2018 (UTC)

Holy Mackerel

Not much to say, it's a good page and informative. Perkzitos (talk) 15:39, 10 June 2017 (PDT)

Achievement items

It's a big part of TF2, how has this not been featured already? -- BrofessorBeta (Talk | contribs) 18:07, 13 March 2018 (UTC)

Maybe. Its should first be decided whether to add the new contract reward items as Achievement items, since they are Achievement items. Please see: Talk:Achievement items‎#Contract reward items are Achievement items. Mikado282 (talk) 04:04, 14 March 2018 (UTC)

Teleporters

The contents of this page are thoroughly explained and well written, it has proper images and links, and the subject matter is detremental to gameplay. I was surprised when I found this article wasn't featured among the Sentry Gun and Dispenser, as the teleporters are as important to gameplay as the Engineer's other buildings.
