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.

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.

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)
