Getting started
Heyo!
Here's some 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
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.
- Additionally, if you would like to add any self-made content to the wiki, please do so by adding the prefix User:Spelsucre/ to the page title when you create the page.
Now for some more specific info, following links may prove useful:
- Very important: Spatieregels and the DT-regel
- Tf_dutch.txt for the official in-game names and descriptions
- This page and this page page for the default translations of commonly used terms.
Some more useful information:
- (Almost) everything between square brackets should be turned into its /nl counterpart
- e.g.:
[[Meet the Medic]]→[[Medic/nl|Ontmoet de Medic]] - This includes updates, maps and game modes.
- If you don't know the name of a weapon, for example the Soda Popper, you can use
{{Item link|Soda Popper}}for a link or{{Item name|Soda Popper}}for the item's name.
- e.g.:
- In links to specific sections of pages, like
[[Medic strategy#Blutsauger]], the"/nl"comes before the hashtag, so →[[Medic strategy/nl#Blutsauger]]
- Links to Wikipedia, like
[[w:Banana|Banana]]become[[w:nl:Banaan (name of the Wikipedia article)|Banaan]]
Again, if you need any help whatoever, feel free to join us over at the IRC.
I didn't give you all of this information just for you to ignore it. I insist that you either read and apply it, or refrain from translating altogether. It might seem a bit crude, but I rather have no translations or do it myself than seeing the pages you write.
Please leave a message on my talk page or join us at the IRC if you disagree. Eels 10:49, 6 March 2013 (PST)
Translating + Image guidelines
Heyo. When translating, Any links that lead to other pages must have the /nl at the end. For example Engineer/nl. Also please re read the Image guidelines for User page images. Thanks. Ashes 01:36, 13 March 2013 (PDT) Haha thx for the info,good luck with that wiki-cap nomination :)
Style
I must insist that you read and apply the information Ashes and I gave you. The way you are translating right now contributes nothing to the wiki and only gives other /nl translators more work. Eels 08:13, 13 March 2013 (PDT)
User images
Please ensure that you follow the rules regarding user images. I have moved your uploaded image that was at Image:Spelly Avatar.png to follow the rules. You will likely have to change the link from your user page. Please ensure that you adhere to the rules for further images. Thank you. – Smashman (talk) 13:51, 28 June 2014 (PDT)
Signature and show preview.
Please make use of the Show preview button. It gives you a preview of the edit you are making, allowing you to perfect your changes before you save the page. You can edit the whole article by clicking the edit button at the top of the page, which is preferable to editing multiple sections consecutively.
Also, please remember to sign your comments on talk pages with ~~~~.
