== Item infobox ==
  
== Just a quick appreciation post ==
+
Hi!
 +
 +
Please refrain from updating old item pages to make use of new templates (such as "used by" and "item description"). We'll be updating the item infobox itself to handle these templates automatically in the future.
  
I'm relatively new to the Wiki, and I made it here to pretty much translate all things TF2. Prior to this I translated [https://tf2classic.com/team Team Fortress 2 Classic] (as swfcapslock) and [https://prefortress.com/credits/ Pre-Fortress 2] (not credited yet, localization will be implemented in the next update), and I enjoyed every second of contributing to those projects with my Turkish localization file. So after finding out what I can do in this website, I felt like I just found myself a gold mine.

Thank you for you work so far! <!-- Team_Fortress_Wiki:Discussion/Archive_35#The_brand_new_.7B.7Bitem_description.7D.7D.E2.84.A2_template_and_dictionary --> — [[User:Tark|<span style="font-weight:bold;color: #5BC236">Tark</span>]] 16:24, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
  
Even though translating things are so fun, I often mess things up, whether that be me missing out on things to translate under the large, spooky jumbles of formatting text, or ruining something while trying to do something with that same text. I have never used any kind of wikia page, and I have pretty much zero prior experience with those. But it's all thanks to people like you that make it a fun, learning experience where I can also get to meet new people in return. Thank you for the stuff you helped pointing out to me thus far, and I hope to see you again. [[User:Swiffie|Swiffie]] ([[User talk:Swiffie|talk]]) 21:40, 14 January 2023 (UTC)

I have seen you fixing minor errors on my (and others') edits. Unfortunately, most of those documents I try to update these days have not been updated since 2015 ~ 2018-ish, which means their template usages are severely outdated, and you might need to keep fixing those. I'll try to imitate your fixes, but it would take some time to fully learn those. If you let me know what to fix with examples here or on my talk page, that would be grateful. Have a nice day!

== Revision Question ==
 
Hey, I wanted to ask you a question, I'm pretty new here so I may not know how these things work.
 
As I translated the Swiftwater and the Meet Your Match Video pages I noticed that your name appeared on the edit log too. Is that like some kind of check if I made my work correctly?
 
Just asking because as I already told you I'm new and I dunno how things work here lol.
 
Bye!

:Hey there.
 
 
 
:If you mean that you received an alert about my edits, then it's because you left "Watch this page" checked, so you'll be alerted whenever people edit those pages.
 
 
 
:If you just mean that my name is in the revision history, that's simply because all edits are recorded there; all pages have a revision history where changes are recorded and can be seen, as well as the previous versions of that page.

I finally found out, the edit log shows a single edit if a page is edited in little time more than twice and therefore listed your name along mine in what it seemed to me a single edit, but was like 4 edits packed in one. Thanks and bye!

== A little question with the use of { { itemlink}} ==
 
 
 
Hi there,
 
A recent edit of yours revert my changes with "[[Flying Guillotine]]".
 
Here's the problem, you see , I just join wiki for about 5 days and I kinda learn things through other editor's improvment edit for my edit, somedays ago a editor done the exact same thing to one of the pages I translate "[[Banana/zh-hans]] ", so I just thought Its a better kind of link use it instead of [[]] = cool .Now I'm kinda confused, to me its the same ,they are just links to other pages , can you tell me sth about the use of { { itemlink}} and how its different with a redirect link?
 
[[User:Profiteer|Profiteer(奸商)]] ([[User talk:Profiteer|talk]]) 08:03, 8 March 2023 (UTC)
 
 
 
 
 
:Hi there, we suggest the use of the string '''{{code|<nowiki>{{item link|ENGLISH NAME}}</nowiki>}}''', when translating item names with links..
 
 
 
:'''Using the Spanish ({{code|/es}}) section as an example:'''
 
:* If you use '''{{code|<nowiki>{{item link|Buff Banner}}</nowiki>}}''', the wiki will automatically translate the name into '''Estandarte de Ánimo'''.
 
:** But if you want to translate just the text name, you can use '''{{code|<nowiki>{{item name|ENGLISH NAME}}</nowiki>}}'''.
 
:
 
:Same rule applies for '''updates''':
 
:* '''{{code|<nowiki>{{update link|ENGLISH NAME}}</nowiki>}}'''
 
:* '''{{code|<nowiki>{{update name|ENGLISH NAME}}</nowiki>}}'''
 
 
 
:It is encouraged for users to use that string, because sometimes the names change.
 
 
 
:'''Using a case study that happened with the Spanish localization as an example''':
 
:* [[Backburner/es|Backburner]], used to be called ''El Dragón'', but was later changed to ''El Tuestalomos'' in an unknown patch date.
 
:* [[Market Gardener/es|Market Gardener]], used to be called ''El Jardinero'', but was later changed to ''El Hortelano'' in the {{Patch name|8|11|2022}}.
 
 
 
:With the string, if any future changes happen, instead of manually updating who knows how many articles, simply we can just change the dictionary once, and the syntax automatically changes all the old names.
 
 
 
:Hope this helps!

:Hello, Profiteer.
 
 
 
:Translation templates such as {{tl|item link}} are generally not used in English pages because English is already the root language, and so there's nothing to translate on them.
 
 
 
:The exceptions are mostly tables and when there are several links and/or names together (such as patch notes and lengthy disambiguation pages), which is done to make translating and updating localized articles easier (a simple copy and paste does the job).

:Hi there,
 
:Please note that every edit undo has an edit summary that explains why something was removed. Your Trivia got removed because it was about a Whoopee Cushion, which is not related to the Whoopee Cap besides both containing "whoopee" in the name.<br>[[User:GrampaSwood|<font color="DB9C1F">GrampaSwood</font>]] ([[User talk:GrampaSwood|<font color="DB9C1F">talk</font>]]) 19:26, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
 
 
 
== Removal of quotation ==
 
 
 
Hey. Why did you removed the quotation from [[Breach and Bomb]] and other translated pages? [[File:User Denied signature.jpg|50px|link=User:Denied]] [[User:Denied|Denied]] [[User talk:Denied|(Talk)]] 15:14, 6 May 2023 (UTC)
 
 
 
:Because it did not match the cosmetic. I originally thought it was a helmet used for defusing bombs, but upon better inspecting the item and understanding its name, I realized that was not the case - it's not about breaching a place to defuse a bomb, it's about '''breach'''ing '''''and bomb'''ing'' a place. Its basis, the [https://equipment.fandom.com/wiki/K6-3 K6-3 helmet], further reinforces this, as it is "used by Russian special police and anti-terror forces" (Breach and Bomb's Trivia), not by bomb squads.
 
 
 
:In either case, it was flavor text, so nothing important was removed. - [[User:BrazilianNut|BrazilianNut]] ([[User talk:BrazilianNut|talk]]) 20:58, 6 May 2023 (UTC)
 
 
 
::Maybe replace it with something else instead of removing it? Kinda weird to see cosmetic item article without quotation/publicity blurb. [[File:User Denied signature.jpg|50px|link=User:Denied]] [[User:Denied|Denied]] [[User talk:Denied|(Talk)]] 08:46, 7 May 2023 (UTC)

== talk section and new item translation ==
 
 
 
i've been trying to reach out to you and i have also seen this talk page but i thought to myself there is just no way that you have to write to a whole page in order to communicate with someone like in mid 2000's facebook there should be another way, but no you actually have to write to someone's wall apparently
 
 
 
anyway thanks for the heads up about the display title and stuff but i have a question and i would be very grateful if you answer it, how do you add translations for the new items hats etc.., i could able to add translations for the war paints on dictionary/decorations but couldn't do the same thing for items because dictionary/common strings page is locked for some reason

:When a topic is created on your talk page, you should reply by editing the topic and typing your response there, so the conversation is kept in the same page and there's no need to check multiple ones to keep track of it.
 
 
 
:Item names are stored in dictionary/items, not /common strings. It is possible you can't edit some pages because your account is new as a way to prevent vandalism of important wiki assets.
 
 
 
:If you wish to add translations to the dictionary, make sure to add the official ones; ''do not'' create translated names on your own. Also, if you use translation tools such as {{tl|item name}} and {{tl|update link}}, then the articles will be automatically updated once the translations have been added. - [[User:BrazilianNut|BrazilianNut]] ([[User talk:BrazilianNut|talk]]) 07:33, 25 July 2023 (UTC)

== Question about a link ==
 
 
 
Hello! I am trying to translate the Grappling Hook page in romanian. As per the comments I recieved on my last translations I'm using {{}} links instead of [[]] links so that I no longer have to specify the language I'm using. For some reason however the Gunslinger is not creating a link using this method despite it working for every other weapon. {{item link|Gunslinger}} is what I'm using. The page exists in romanian and even if it didn't a red link would be created. Is this link missing from the wiki page these tipes of links draw from and if it is what can I do to fix that? I can easily solve this by using [[Gunslinger/ro|Gunslinger]] but I would like to keep the links the same way.
 
Also thank you for your help in showing me the guidelines --[[User:Lord of Dominating|Lord of Dominating]] ([[User talk:Lord of Dominating|talk]]) 15:00, 27 August 2023 (UTC)

::Glad to know you solved it. Keep it up. 👍 - [[User:BrazilianNut|BrazilianNut]] ([[User talk:BrazilianNut|talk]]) 15:21, 27 August 2023 (UTC)
 
 
 
== Question about a patch ==
 
 
 
I have a small question about the 6|28|2011 patch for the Persian Persuader. I don't understand what the patch actually did so I don't know how to translate it. This is the patch in question:  'Added/Refined recoil/draw/crit/reload forces for the Persian Persuader.'
 
Was the strenght of this weapon's recoil increased or was the animation changed? Or was it something else entirely.

== About the word "cosmetic" ==
 
 
 
Hello! Thank you for helping me with my recently translated pages by fixing my mistakes. I wanted to say though, that while the word cosmetic exists in romanian, it refers only to skin care and products related to skin care so I can't translate "cosmetic item" as "obiect cosmetic". What should I use in place of this, if the romanian word for "hat" is not allowed? -[[User:Lord of Dominating|Lord of Dominating]] ([[User talk:Lord of Dominating|talk]]) 23:59, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
