Before I go there, I wanted to confirm that it is acceptable to upload images found on the workshop, particularly of maps, with the caveat that the workshop image accurately conform to the present release of the map. I should think that the licensing would be that of screenshot taken in game. I don't have a particular image in mind, but I would think it could save me some time if I found an ideal image in the workshop.

:Yeah it's okay to use Workshop images if they're representative of the final version of the map. And yes they are licensed as screenshots. I never really use Workshop screenshots and always make my own for chances are the Workshop version of the map and the final release version always changes. --[[File:User Dr. Scaphandre Golden Ghastly Gibus.png|30px|link=User talk:Dr. Scaphandre]] [[User:Dr. Scaphandre|<font color="FFDF00"><big>''Dr. Scaphandre''</big></font>]] 16:30, 25 October 2017 (PDT)

== TF2 Classic page ==
 
 
 
I don't think we need the Team Fortress 2 Classic page, not only the project "illegally" uses the Source Code from 2008's TF2, but it does also have no impact into TF2 as a whole. This wouldn't be good for a Wiki which is stated to be "Official". Last time I checked, they got no permission whatsoever from Valve to change their Source code to make their own "different" game. This would cause several issues if Valve actually sees this on their Wiki, as well, it's advertisement for their project. I suggest asking someone first about it, I don't know if you've done that already, I'm barely in IRC Channel nowadays.

== Jump Gamemode ==
 
 
 
So you're saying that Jump is not a gamemode heard of? Why was it featured in 3 tip of the hats events then?
 
 
 
And plus it has a huge community of jumpers from around the globe. There are a lot of jump videos on  youtube, how is that unheard of?

:Just because there's a lot of Jump videos on Youtube doesn't mean that the mod is popular enough to warrant an article. It's the same reason Slender Fortress doesn't have an article on the Wiki. However, if you believe that the mod gamemode deserves an article, then you should make a page about the mod gamemode instead of every single individual map. If you do though, please make it in your sandbox before actually submitting it as a real page. If it's in your sandbox then that shows that it's a work in progress page and cannot be deleted by the mods. Also, please look for more notability instead of just Youtube comments and word of mouth. We need more proof that the mode warrants an article. --[[User:Dr. Scaphandre|Dr. Scaphandre]] ([[User talk:Dr. Scaphandre|talk]]) 08:46, 3 October 2015 (PDT)

== Some stuff of your pics. ==
 
 
 
I'll list some issues I found with your pictures, they look pretty good, honestly, but for having consistency with others, I list:<br>
 
* [[:File:Pyro finder's fee.png|Bad Cropping]], clearly here, you can see the crop is not well done. On GIMP, you can use the Auto-Crop function;<br>
 
* [[:File:Scout finder's fee.png|Non-HWM models]], images for classes requires the use of HWM models for their high-quality;<br>
 
* [[:File:Demoman finder's fee.png|Non-Stock weapons]], that's a thing I, myself, actually get bothered. I think that only stock weapons should be shown on those class images, so the reader doesn't confuse with them or don't have questions about the weapon (in-case they don't know);<br>
 
* [[:File:Jaunty Pin 2015 Demoman.png|Way too large pictures]], pictures that take too much wide space looks bad on the page, since they're going to be resized to fit on the Infobox or the gallery section;<br>
 
Some other stuff: Try making the pictures not crop on the sides, but still keeping a good "size" on the character's head;<br>
 
Never crop the top boundaries;<br>
 
Check your Texture Quality settings, I think it's currently at Medium, but I'm not sure;<br>
 
Don't adjust the lighting settings, just keep it default. You can reset by either deleting on regedit or placing the default value.<br><br>I think your pictures looks great, just some few things to make them perfect.

== Reversion of edit to Shadow Boxers article ==
 
 
 
Hey, in response to your reversion of my edit: Wouldn't you agree that the Soldier's voice responses only talk about the ''enemy'' team, and not his own? So from that we can agree that Soldier doesn't necessarily know his team's nationalities, only the enemy's.
 
 
 
And in response to the Trivia line "The Scout Robot head says BEEP BOOP OVER HERE after talking. This is a reference to the popular fad 'Need a despencer here!'". That's not a "useful piece of trivia", as it's not a verified fact. It's just a guess. I thought guesswork put down as fact was against the rules on the wiki? [[User:Minimuslim|Minimuslim]] ([[User talk:Minimuslim|talk]]) 00:01, 18 October 2015 (PDT)
 
 
 
 
 
:To the first part, you have to remember at the point that Mann vs Machine happens the RED & BLU teams disbanded and fought together, and the trivia section is referencing the discontinuity between the voice lines and the comic.
 
 
 
:The second one is debatable, but I was hasty and just undo'd the whole edit. If you think it's not noteworthy then go ahead and remove the Page 21 bit. --[[User:Dr. Scaphandre|Dr. Scaphandre]] ([[User talk:Dr. Scaphandre|talk]]) 00:10, 18 October 2015 (PDT)

Map infobox images

Hi.

1) Is there any guidance on the overview image?

2) Is there a place in the game files to find the "Map photos" or are they just shopped from a screenshot of the splash page?

Image Quality

I have still been disappointed by the resolution of the screenshots. You can see my latest efforts at Category:Enclosure images. I have Model and Texture detail at the highest settings. I guess I should try higher Antialiasing and Filtering modes (than 2x MSAA and Anisotropic 4x)? MIKADO282 oOOOOo oo oo 02:20, 15 April 2018 (UTC)
