Hello, Amacli!

Welcome to the Official Team Fortress Wiki!

Here are a few links to get you started:

  • If you're not too familiar with editing wikis, you might like to start with Help:Editing.
  • If you already are familiar with wikiediting, you might want to try Help:Style guide.
  • Recent Changes will let you see others' contributions as they happen.
    • To make Recent Changes more useful for all users, remember to provide an edit summary in the "Summary" field before you save your changes.
    • You can set the wiki to prompt you for a summary in your preferences.
  • When posting on an article's Talk page you should add four tilde symbols or ~~~~ onto the end.
    • This will add a signature and timestamp to your comment so others can easily tell who posted it.
    • Any new sections on an article's Talk page should be added to the bottom of the page and not to the top.
    • When editing normal article pages, don't sign your contributions.
    • You can use the Signature Icon.png button in the editing toolbar to quickly add a signature.
  • If you have any questions or need any help, please feel free to leave a message for a staff member.
  • If you have trouble with anything on the wiki or you're not sure about a specific topic, feel free to join the IRC.
  • You can also customize your user page if you like.
    • When uploading images for use on your user page, please add the prefix User Amacli to the file's name.
    • Additionally, if you would like to add any self-made content to the wiki, please do so by adding the prefix User:Amacli/ to the page title when you create the page.

Once again, welcome to the Team Fortress Wiki!

About your recent translations

Hello, Amacli.

Please read the translation help page when you have the time. Also, be aware that automated translations are not allowed - editors are meant to do the translation work themselves.

Thank you for your attention, and welcome to the Team Fortress Wiki. - BrazilianNut (talk) 17:19, 26 January 2024 (UTC)

Hi there,
Using the "Show preview" button will help a lot. This shows you that the page is horribly broken and full of red error texts. Some pointers:
  1. Using {{item link}} and {{item name}} is preferred over using direct links. Instead of [[Sopa]] or [[Bat/tr|Sopa]], try using {{item link|Bat}}. If you only need the name, simply use "item name" instead. Same goes for updates and {{update link}} and {{update name}}.
  2. Templates (indicated by a set of curly brackets {{ }}) should not be translated. For example, {{item infobox}} should not become {{Eşya bilgi kutusu}}. The infobox has multiple parameters, such as "slot =" and "contributed-by =". These do not have to be translated either, as they will not work otherwise. For the {{patch name}} template, the dates should remain in the order that they are in, which is (unfortunately) M/D/Y.
  3. The whole page should be translated at once, if you can't do this leave {{trans}} at the top of the page. This indicates you're working on it, but it is preferred you work on it in a text editor such as Notepad++ or on your sandbox page. If you put it on your sandbox, make sure to leave out any categories. Additionally, make sure to not leave out half the page when translating, both the Jarate and Sydney Sleeper pages were cut off at the update history.
I've deleted the pages, as they were broken and not worked on for about an hour. I'd also recommend seeing the Wiki Cap information page, as your user page appears to be a nomination.
