- 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

Translating
Hello, Kawazaki.
When translating from English, you should take the original text and translate that instead of creating an entirely new translation. For instance, your translations of the newer taunts are very simplistic when compared to the English ones.
An example is the Engineer's version of the taunt "Cheers!": the original description in Engineer taunts reads:
| “ | The Engineer spins a beer bottle on the right side of his hips with a quick laugh before "drawing" it; he then points with his index and middle fingers while saying "Nice job" and proceeds to drink it with loud gulps, a lip smack, and a content sigh. When he is done drinking, he looks at the bottle for a moment before tossing it back over his shoulder.
|
” |
Meanwhile, all your translation reads is:
| “ | Инженер достаёт бутылку и после слов «Хорошо поработали.» начинает пить, потом убирает эту бутылку.
|
” |
One does not need to speak Russian to be able to tell the Russian text is severely lacking in information when compared to the English one (specially considering the original has two audio links, while the translation only has one).
I strongly recommend you take a moment to read the language translation guide when you can if you haven't read it already.
Cheers, and welcome to the Team Fortress Wiki. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask other, more experienced contributors, either by leaving a message on their Talk pages or by visiting the IRC channel. - BrazilianNut (talk) 02:51, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
