Alms For The Poor?
Hello Mr. Firestorm, sir.
I recently made an account after mooching data off of you guys forever, and I decided to help in return. Good for me. Unfortunately, I haven't found much to do aside the common grammar fix, and I'm itching to write something worthwhile. So, er, you seemed like a good place to start. Would you direct a misguided nubble towards something to do? TheMedik 19:25, 14 October 2010 (UTC)
- First thing's first, you aren't allowed to be so formal next time you talk to me, it makes me seem old. The first place to look would be in the Task list which can be found by clicking "Help" on the left sidebar. In there, you can complete items on todo lists, fill out stubs and fix orphaned/dead end pages. Projects that are currently ongoing are:
- Remove unneeded trivia from ALL the articles on the Wiki
- Develop the Strategy articles more thoroughly
- Test various statistics and measurements for new Polycount weapons.
- Let me know if you're interested in any of these, and I'll direct you to the person running the project. --Firestorm 01:33, 15 October 2010 (UTC)
- Dear Mr. Firestorm the Third, Esq.
- Excellent. I can work on either the trivia or the polycount needs. Also, I'm not going to stop now, sir. TheMedik 01:53, 15 October 2010 (UTC)
- Trivia would be best. See the Style guide for some info. see the Checklist to see what needs to be done, and contact Alex2539 if you need more info. --Firestorm 02:08, 15 October 2010 (UTC)
- I've been looking at doing a bunch of trivia changes myself lately---feel free to hit me up on the IRC channel (#tfwiki on freenode) and we can perhaps coordinate some of our efforts! ~
lhavelund(t ▪ c) 14:34, 15 October 2010 (UTC)- Awesome, thanks! I'll be sure to drop by sometime. TheMedik 03:13, 16 October 2010 (UTC)

Alrighty, sorry, I'll keep that in mind. BUBBLES TICKLEPANTS 17:56, 15 October 2010 (UTC)
- It's all good --Firestorm 17:58, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

AWB...
Authenticate with http://wiki.teamfortress.com/w/, make list from Category:Lhavelund Test, Advanced Find & Replace, create expression on:
== Trivia ==
making it change to
== Trivia == [note goes here]
make sure it auto-saves (I'd pick every 5 seconds), then run it. Worked fine on my three pages. Also, your homework awaits. ~ lhavelund (t ▪ c) 03:39, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
Interrobangs?!
You should use {{User:Lhavelund/Template:Interrobang}} on your user page. ~ lhavelund (talk ▪ contrib) 02:35, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
Unusual Engineer's Cap with Vivid Plasma screenshot
You were looking for unusual screenshots, yes? Well I brought one.
--Urinat0r 11:18, 23 October 2010 (UTC)
- We already have a screenshot of that effect, so no need. Thanks. – Smashman (talk) 11:28, 23 October 2010 (UTC)
Scout 'Basic Strategy' section error
There is an error with the template on the scout's 'Basic Strategy' page that I have no idea how to fix. Just wanted to bring it to someone who's more knowledgeable than me's attention. Moussekateer 08:23, 24 October 2010 (UTC)
Just a quick question
Is there any way to create some sort of try-out page? For example: I have an idea for a new page and want to create an example and show to others to see what they think of it. Thanks in advance. Desertfighter 10:46, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
- Yep, it's very easy. Simply create the page in your userspace in a sandbox. For example, you'd go to User:Desertfighter/Sandbox and work on that one. You can see my own sandbox at User:Firestorm/Sandbox for an example. --Firestorm 14:18, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks =) Desertfighter 14:55, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for the advice
Well, I think Pyro talking is an important lifeskill that we should all learn (its the best gas-mask imitation). Besides all that, I didn't realise the importance of cutting down trivia before. I thought we should have added more, until Alex2539 showed me old wiki pages where the trivia sections were so long it was tedious to read. So now I understand the way this wiki works, I hope I can make positive contributions. By the way, how do you editors respond so quickly to wiki edits? The Engineer 13:16, 30 October 2010 (UTC)
- We check the Recent Changes Log fairly regularly when we have time to. Personally, it was just chance that I saw you when I did, I've only been semi-active lately because of school --Firestorm 17:35, 30 October 2010 (UTC)
