Concussion grenade

I hope you don't mind, I went ahead and implemented the Featured article system and chose the Concussion grenade as it's a staple tool of the classic Fortress. i-ghost 06:40, 7 October 2011 (PDT)

"Armor (Classic)" for next Featured article?

The current Featured Article has been featured for the last few years. The least we could do is update it once, eh? I propose the "Armor (Classic)" page. Here's my reasoning:

  • It's one of the more complete TFC pages.
  • So far the pattern (if you could even call it that) has been features present in Classic but not the current game. Making the next Featured Article "Armor (Classic)" would fit in nicely.
  • Adding a new Featured Article might breathe new life into the TFC section, if only a slight amount.
