Hello, ScottishDrunkard!

Welcome to the Team Fortress 2 Official 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 ScottishDrunkard 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:ScottishDrunkard/ to the page title when you create the page.

Once again, welcome to the Team Fortress 2 Wiki!

Signing Talk Pages

I'm going to have to bring this up again, you must sign your posts on talk pages using ~~~~. As far as I'm aware, it says about doing that on every single talk page when you're editing it, so you can't really say you don't know that you have to do it or that you don't know how to do it. WelcomeBOT's message above this covers using the signature too. --Omolong (talk) 08:38, 24 December 2014 (PST)

Apologies, but getting into new habits is very difficult. I will try to keep that in mind, but nobody is perfect. ScottishDrunkard (talk) 08:40, 24 December 2014 (PST)
I can understand that, but it's not really something you can just not do, you have to sign your posts. There is even a button in the editing toolbar that automatically inputs the tildes when you click it. Having to sign your posts after you can get quite annoying to do. --Omolong (talk) 08:59, 24 December 2014 (PST)
Did you say a button that would do it for me? That would allow me to be lazy :) ScottishDrunkard (talk) 09:02, 24 December 2014 (PST)
