End of the Jungle Inferno Campaign

Rather than deleting the statement that the Jungle Inferno Campaign will end on Feb. 11, we could leave that statement there (the February 5, 2018 blog says the Campaign will end on that date). However, we could add clarification of what campaign features will end. We do that, and then state that the Mercenary Park Contracts will continue. That blog says nothing about the Pyroland Contracts, but we can wait until Feb. 12 to be certain of their fate. I have been thinking that these Contracts are sort of an extension to Achievements. If they continue indefinitely, then they really are an extension.

Is a split of Jungle Inferno Campaign from Jungle Inferno Campaign/Mercenary Park Contracts warranted?

Now, I don't think my time writing the Contract strategies so late in the Campaign was quite so wasted.  :) Mikado282 (talk) 03:53, 6 February 2018 (UTC) Mikado282 (talk) 03:55, 6 February 2018 (UTC)

You can do whatever you want, I just don't know the way to deal with it at that time due I was in rush. Rikka Takanashi (talk) • (contributions) 14:04, 6 February 2018 (UTC)

[ Looks like you are still in a rush. :) ]

Thanks. I think I will wait until the end of the Campaign to see what exactly happens with the free and premium Contracts and past tense it at the same time. Mikado282 (talk) 18:49, 6 February 2018 (UTC)

Jungle Inferno ConTracker extension

So, the change in the JIC's description was not associated with an announced Patch. Is this an Item schema change?

I have been looking for an example of how to add this "non-Patch" update to the Update history of Jungle Inferno ConTracker. I am thinking of this:

February 5, 2018 Jungle Inferno News (Blog Post)

• [Undocumented] Jungle Inferno ConTracker description changed to not refer to the end date of the Jungle Inferno ConTracker Campaign.

Mikado282 (talk) 18:04, 11 February 2018 (UTC)

IIRC, there's the item schema changes template somewhere. I just rarely touch it since it's not commonly my job Rikka Takanashi (talk) • (contributions) 05:28, 12 February 2018 (UTC)

K. I'll pester Tark, then. Assuming he now doesn't answer here.

help

So I am trying to make the demonstration video for the thermal thruster but I thought as I am quite new to this I would ask you a few questions before creating it. 1. Does the video need to be made on the map tr_target? 2. If it does, how could I access the tr_target map without activating training mode. If you think there is any important rules i should follow that you think I would forget about, please could you inform me of such. Thanks for your time. Firerox123 (talk) 11:26, 7 July 2018 (UTC)

Please ask in the Team Fortress Wiki talk:Weapon Demonstration instead, as I'm not the one who did the demo. Rikka Takanashi (talk) • (contributions) 23:07, 7 July 2018 (UTC)

Flamethrower & Dragon's Fury Bug.

Shouldn't the airblast bug be moved to compression blast since it applys to All flamethrowers that can airblast? MrJohnson (talk) 01:16, 27 August 2018 (UTC)

Well, it should be on both. Since people usually go to weapon pages to list the bug before the actual mechanic that is bugging (like this one) Rikka Takanashi (talk) • (contributions) 01:55, 27 August 2018 (UTC)

Mutated Milk Bug Removal Question

Hello, I noticed you reverted my change to remove the bug on the Mutated Milk page about it having a bug that uses the mad milk animations in the loadout screen. I just tested this listed bug and it is apparently no longer a bug so that is why I removed it from the list. Was I incorrect in removing it from the list apon testing and seeing the bug no longer occurs? AlexH898 (talk)

Was it plausible that the Scout's hand was clipping into the jar? if it does it is still using the animation. MrJohnson (talk) 05:04, 3 September 2018 (UTC)

Ah. Yeah, it was clipping into the jar but it wasn't using the same animation as the milk. Seems to now use the all-class melee animation. For Example AlexH898 (talk)

Second Banana Bugs

I was positive that the bug was not a bug, because it barely happened to me and i have never seen it happen. MrJohnson (talk) 00:55, 9 September 2018 (UTC)

Barely != does not occur anymore. Rikka Takanashi (talk) • (contributions) 01:19, 9 September 2018 (UTC)

Although you were correct on that one, it is never a good idea to dismiss a suggested bug without doing the proper testing. It "barely happening to you" and you "never seeing it happen" are not valid reasons to remove/add a bug. — Sam (a.k.a. cnoe) 01:26, 9 September 2018 (UTC)

I have tested it a quite alot when i was on Mercenary Park making sure the bugs are still in effect on that map. MrJohnson (talk) 01:37, 9 September 2018 (UTC)

Well, if you tested and it's not valid, that's the point. Rikka Takanashi (talk) • (contributions) 03:38, 9 September 2018 (UTC)

Poker Night 2 "False Info" Revert

The Poker Night 2 article edits do not contain false information. The game still has a store page, but if you add it to your cart, you'll see that it adds the first game instead. Furthermore, you can no longer search for the game on the Steam store, at least in North America. -MarioMaster2008 (talk) 09:25, 13 September 2018 (UTC)

I'm very sorry for that template messup

title, but can you inform me which parts i messed up in, so i can correct them in the future(Nevermind, i mislabelled ar as en, my mistake Aholic (talk) 11:46, 2 October 2018 (UTC)

You can simply look at history, and then compare between 2 different changes. I fixed that for you, even though I broke the template even more (Damn Darkid, where are you?) Rikka Takanashi (talk) • (contributions) 21:48, 2 October 2018 (UTC)

List of maps with Underworld locations

We are intending to delete that section in favor of the table we are working on here. We had considered replacing that particular section with a table, both realized that a table replacing the next section covered the content of the list we are deleting.

About [Category:Promotional items]

Before your edit - https://wiki.teamfortress.com/w/index.php?title=Ball-Kicking_Boots&oldid=2377991
After your edit - https://wiki.teamfortress.com/w/index.php?title=Ball-Kicking_Boots&oldid=2378024
All promo items are automatically moved to that category. You don't need to add "Category:Promotional items" on the page. Dan 17:45, 23 November 2018 (UTC)

The point is, your revert on that page removed it. Not quite sure how it's work but I just want to make sure you can go back and forth between category page and item page. Rikka Takanashi (talk) • (contributions) 03:38, 24 November 2018 (UTC)

Bounty Hat Trivia Removal

Hello I know this is about two weeks old but I was just wondering why you removed my trivia from the bounty hat page

I thought it was worth mentioning since it was one of the only hats which was untradable but could still be traded using gift wrap. No where else is this mentioned.

Trivia is just bits of information after all, and it may be of some interest to people. — The preceding unsigned comment was added by Cream Tea (talk) • (contribs) 09:46, 11 December 2018

The point is, the update history should covered this part, not trivia. You can clarify at the patch note to be more clearly. The patch note does not need to be exactly the same as in the official announcement, as sometimes the information is missing and can cause people to confuse. See Soda Popper page for example of the clarification of missing info. And remember to sign your name when doing discussion. Rikka Takanashi (talk) • (contributions) 09:34, 12 December 2018 (UTC)

Well thank you for clarifying, also I have re-worded your edit on there to make it grammatically correct (hope you are okay with that). You are right it didn't need a whole trivia section dedicated to it. :p Cream Tea (talk) 20:14, 12 December 2018 (UTC)
