Why is this locked? Tyr 01:02, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

There is a huge influx of new members not abiding by the formatting guidelines we have in place. The new pages are being locked as it's easier for the Wiki staff to create them. -RJ 01:05, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

The description "the player can choose to equip the item with either the custom or the original name through the character setup menu." doesn't work for me. I can't choose "Vintage Kritzkrieg" for my named Kritzkrieg in the setup menu. (nanosheep_inc) 08:21, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

Description

Name Tag Level 1 Tool

Changes the name of an item in your backpack.

This item is consumable, non-tradable and non-craftable (unless found).

This item can be used to permanently modify the name of a single item. Other players will see the name you choose instead of the original name.

This item is a Tool. It can be applied to another item in your backpack, and is consumed in the process. Click the 'Use with...' button in the backpack to start the process of applying it.

This item costs $4.99 USD for one use. Iloverice 04:49, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

Named items will always appear in capital letters ingame, while backpack examiners such as tf2items.com will distinguish between upper and lower case. The Ultimate Potato 15:46, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

The word 'Vintage' will disappear, should a vintage item become nametagged. The text, however, will remain blue. The Ultimate Potato 15:46, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

When viewing a named item in game, it will always appear in all-caps. If you look at it from an online backpack viewer, it will appear the way you typed it in. M-NINJA 14:50, 3 October 2010 (EDT)

Can Renamed Items be re-renamed?

For instance if you make a spelling mistake and want to change the name again, can it be done? (nanosheep_inc) 04:01, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

You can as long as you use another Name Tag. Or so I heard -Mistah Phoenix 07:06, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
-Confirmed from me. I just used another name tag on a previously named item. Barbossa 15:54, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

character limit?

Whats the character limit on the names? think this info should be on the page.Rocketlawnchair 05:54, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

40 Characters is the limit (nanosheep_inc) 06:59, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

Default weapon naming?

Can you name a default weapon with a name tag? Like, say I wanted to name the default medigun, would that be possible? Or is it just randomly dropped items? Cleretic 15:51, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

Yes, there is a checkbox to switch to stock weapons. I have a renamed Knife in my backpack, if you would like proof. Search barbossarox on tfitems Barbossa 15:56, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
now what if you were to rename, say, the shotgun, would this custom name apply to all classes holding the shotgun like it does the Pain Train?--Zootch 09:38, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
yes all classes get the change if they share the item.Rocketlawnchair 16:37, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
