Freeman airboat tours

Where can that airboat tours sign be found in game? The preceding unsigned comment was added by Hobbes348 (talk) • (contribs)

Please sign you post with four tildes. But to answer your question, I would say it's on that swamp map. AHA! I did research and have found out it's the BLU spawn in Mountain Lab (cp_mountainlab). ErnieTheGreatest (talk) 14:20, 14 August 2013 (PDT)

Where?

Where do you find the title and description of the posters? Not knowing, some seem a bit off. Rolandius 06:15, 20 August 2011 (PDT)

This is from 2011...but yes, I have the same question too. Where? ⇒Leaderboard class spy.png Anyar (talk/contributions/giveaway) 17:02, 7 September 2017 (PDT)
Simple. Find a one or few words on the sign, copy them under Title. Find a few more words on the sign, copy them under Description.
No, really. That's it.
Yeah. Mikado282 (talk) 20:22, 7 September 2017 (PDT)
That's what I thought, but... some of these titles and/or descriptions look terribly off.
Guess nobody will mind if I go over them, then. ⇒Leaderboard class spy.png Anyar (talk/contributions/giveaway) 15:49, 8 September 2017 (PDT)
Ah...never mind. Not sure how to do it, and it doesn't seem high priority anyway.
Most posters don't have a title or a description, yet in the table all of them are forcibly given a title, even if it's repetitive/misleading/not on the poster...
Tried to fix it but found out I didn't know what to do with some. Well, I tried. ⇒Leaderboard class spy.png Anyar (talk/contributions/giveaway) 16:06, 8 September 2017 (PDT)
The fact that no one has bothered to do translation switching is a sign of low priority or interest. That said, I do like the collection of the signs, even if the Title and Description are completely obvious and mostly useless. I have tried to make things a little more consistent. Feel free to add non-company posters from 2fort Invasion (use the captions for the descriptions). Mikado282 (talk) 20:30, 13 September 2017 (PDT)
Translation switching? Isn't that for templates? Is this page actually a template, not a standalone article?
Took a look at your recent edits, though, and I gotta say I'm impressed. Very nice job, Mikado. ⇒Leaderboard class spy.png Anyar (talk/contributions/giveaway) 06:55, 30 September 2017 (PDT)
Thx. Re. Translation switching -- compare the architecture of this article with the architecture of the similar List of companies and its embedded translation switching template: Template:List of companies. I have other interests at this time; so, I'm not personally up for making a Template:List of posters. Moreover, I am not sure one is needed since 1) it is not such an important article, YMMV, and 2) there are already 10 translations. That said, I have made and proposed major content changes to the article, and the 10 translations are now out of date, assuming they weren't already, and a translation switching could help fix that, if someone wants to.

Red/Blue rectangles unnecessary

I appreciate Dix digging into the signs, but it is not necessary to display every image in the signs folder. It is even less necessary to include unused images in this specific list.

These Red/Blue rectangles do not have the game function that the many signs and posters do. They do not seem to be even used in the game. Their content is similar to the TF2 BATTLEMENT / INTELLIGENCE / CONTROL POINT signs, but the specific wording seems more like TF or TFC.

"I haven't seen [these] used anywhere, most likely leftovers from some earlier development."ICS]

For this reason, I removed them. For convenience of discussion, I have placed them in a gallery here. But, unless we know they are in the game, they don't really have a place on the wiki, except, perhaps, as unused content. And if they are used, they should be in a specific gallery rather than the general list.

In general, editors should review the remainder of images in the list and remove any that are not used.
