Talk:List of posters

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? ⇒

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. ⇒

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. ⇒

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. ⇒

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. Essentially, Dix did what I hoped someone would do. Please, do not take it as criticism that I made or propose making several changes.

It is not necessary to display every image in the signs folder. It is also not 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.

RfC, IRL car poster?

Where is this poster used in the game?

Dead! Removed from the list. Add back only if known what map it is used on. M I K A D O 282 ⊙⊙⊙⊙⊙⊙ ⊙⊙ ⊙⊙ (Contact Mikado282 (SM)) | (contribs) (Help Wanted!) 00:24, 5 February 2023 (UTC)

RfC, unexpected robot signs?

Where are these MvM posters used in the Valve-published game? I have probably seen the first two, not so sure about the third.

Including the Fate cards here is Redundant and Misplaced.

Redundant: The Fate Cards are fully and better covered in Wheel of Fate.

Misplaced: The Fate Cards do not function in the game as signs or posters.

IMO, the Fate Cards do not belong in this list, even if they are found with other filenames.

Dead! Removed Fate Cards from list per the above statements.

Sorting

In particular, the OSHA and Non-OSHA Danger/Notice/Warning signs that were added near the end of the list should be sorted with the rest of the Danger/Notice/Warning signs.

RfC, RED/BLU team game-play wayfinding signs

I propose that these signs be grouped in a separate table, section, or gallery. They have a specific game function distinctive from the other signs and posters in the list. Their purpose is wayfinding for each team, effectively "this way to the fight".

Their names are really unimportant. I'm not sure where these should be covered; but, they really functionally don't belong in this list. They don't need to be explained, but maybe they are more relevant to some article covering map design or game play aspects.

Are some missing?
