Hey, although I'm glad to see people translating wiki pages into Dutch, you really should pay more attention to basic grammar - you're getting basic verbs wrong in some of your translations. Sleepybird (talk) 04:43, 9 January 2019 (UTC)

Grammatica

Hey, er zijn een hoop pagina's waarvan de Nederlandse vertaling barst van de spelfouten, niet alleen de pagina's die door jou zijn vertaald. Het meest voorkomende probleem is volgens mij dat veel woorden die aan elkaar zouden moeten staan los worden geschreven: ik heb vandaag de pagina van de Gemuteerde melk verbeterd, waarin herhaaldelijk 'brood monster' stond in plaats van 'broodmonster'. Bijvoeglijk naamwoorden staan los - 'eng monster' zou wel los moeten staan - maar vaak zie ik foute spaties in zelfstandig naamwoorden. Ook had ik in het artikel dat ik van jou had verbeterd, die van de Millenial Mercenary, wat werkwoordspelling verbeterd. Derde persoon enkelvoud in de tegenwoordige tijd heeft natuurlijk geen stam + d. Kijk hier nog even naar: https://wiki.teamfortress.com/w/index.php?title=Millennial_Mercenary/nl&diff=prev&oldid=2386201 Sleepybird (talk) 15:46, 9 January 2019 (UTC)

Iedereen maakt trouwens fouten, dus maak je geen zorgen :) Het is alleen iets om op te letten. Sleepybird (talk) 15:51, 9 January 2019 (UTC)

Smissmas 2018 Nav

Sommige Smissmas 2018-voorwerpen hebben Nederlandse namen, ik ben ze aan het updaten. Weet jij toevallig hoe de nav onderaan de pagina's kan worden geüpdatet? Die geeft namelijk nog steeds de Engelse namen aan. Sleepybird (talk) 17:28, 9 January 2019 (UTC)

Als het goed is dan word de nav geüpdatet via de dictionary (https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Template:Dictionary/items, deze link gaat naar de pagina met alle voorwerpen), je moet alleen wel met CTRL + F de Engelse naam opzoeken. (De Dictionary word ook gebruikt voor de {{item name/link|voorwerpnaam}}. Dat zorgt ervoor dat de naam automatisch vertaald word). GrampaSwood (talk) 18:05, 9 January 2019 (UTC)

If you could edit it to include a timer showing how 1 swing decreases it by 1,5 second, 2 swings would decrease it by 2 seconds, and 3 swings would decrease it by 3 seconds. You could also show how the first hit decrease. My adobe premiere shows it off as a having 61 frames per second, but 1,25 seconds being equal to 1 second for some reason. Preferably side by side, starting on the frame you place down the Sentry and ending on the frame the HUD icon changes. If you can't do this, or if someone else can't do it, you will have to wait until next week so I can do it myself.

Meet the Robinsons speculation

Hi, GrampaSwood.

I added a note about speculations about the Shutterbug being a reference to Meet the Robinsons to the Trivia section because three different people have done it four times already. Considering the article is barely over one month old, I thought that was enough times to warrant a note, like how the Hound Dog has a Trivia note saying "Let readers make their own connection between the yellow painted Hound Dog and Johnny Bravo", and decided to add the Observer to the note as well because I saw that as a potential item for people to add multiple times too.

Cheers. =) - BrazilianNut (talk) 23:23, 10 September 2019 (UTC)

I only saw it being added once, and I usually see all/most edits on the English part of the wiki (I check the RC every morning until the last edit I saw in IRC's RC then sort on English only to make sure). I did not see other edits, so I missed them. I undid it now, but put the note at the bottom so people who are tempted to add it read it first as opposed to at the top/next to == Trivia ==

Soul Gargoyle Rank

Hey there GrampaSwood! First of all congratulations for the hat! You deserved it! Second of all I need your help, again. Do you know how to translate the Gargoyle Ranks in this page https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Soul_Gargoyle/it ? It looks like some sort of dictionary template, but before doing something stupid I'd prefer to ask.

Thanks buddeh. D-ray (talk) 09:55, 2 November 2019 (UTC)

Ciao amigo :D

You can add them in Dictionary/items， just search for "===[[Soul Gargoyle]] ranks ===" and add them as other languages did.

10:29, 2 November 2019 (UTC)

Hi there,
as Dereko mentioned, you should edit it in the dictionary itself here.
However, you can find out where to do it yourself in the future too: Edit the Soul Gargoyle page, scroll down the page (not the page's text) and you might see something like this or this. These are the templates used on the page, here you will just have to find the template's name (In this case, Soul Gargoyle Ranks and click on it using your mouse's scrollwheel (This opens it in another tab). Now, click on edit and scroll down again, you should now see there's the whole list of dictionary entries (DO NOT EDIT THESE INDIVIDUAL PAGES). This means it's done via the dictionary, otherwise it's done via the template itself with translation switching. (Alternatively, you can look at the template itself and see it uses {{item name|Sad}})
GrampaSwood (talk) 11:27, 2 November 2019 (UTC)

Thanks both of you guys! :)

Edit: it looks like the template is already translated but for some reasons it doesn't appear.

Trivia removal

I think your removal of my trivia was unjustified, since it had evidence to corroborate it. There was a a splash of speculation but look at this image, then look at Illustrative Rendering in Team Fortress 2's silhouette section. It's some evidence that the Scout was using the SMG model as a Nailgun placeholder. Mind you both Trailers 1 and 2 were made in SFM (then called IFM by VALVe), but it's something. I hope I can convince you with this evidence.
Please forgive my poor formatting, as I'm new to the TF2 Wiki. All I want to do is help, but sometimes, even I need help. Sandvich Thief (talk) 07:48, 6 January 2020 (UTC)

This doesn't mean that the SMG was the world model for the Nail gun. We don't get to see Scout's first person perspective in the first trailer, so there is no way to know that it's a placeholder (world)model. The most likely thing is that it's most likely just a whole different weapon that was later given to the Sniper. Unless there's some source directly from valve specifically stating that the SMG was a placeholder model (I don't think you'd put it in a trailer if it was a placeholder), it's speculation. Spy lost his tranquilizer gun too, but it isn't necessarily a placeholder for his Revolver. (Nail gun might've been moved to Medic as well, but with a different model).

I fixed your formatting btw, if you want a file to be linked add a ":" in front of the link, like this [[:File:filename]]
GrampaSwood (talk) 12:23, 6 January 2020 (UTC)

First off, thanks for reformatting my poor writing.

Now, I understand what you're saying about the Nailgun, and I get that, but you also forget Medic had the SMG, as in Concept art, the SMG was labelled as his. Not to ::mention, in early builds of TF2, the Syringe Gun's script used the localisation tag "TF_Weapon_SuperSMG". Another thing, the Tranq was never a Revolver replacement. The ::leaked coded corroborates this as it has seperate (albeit useless code) relating to it. Instead of a revolver, Spy was presumably meant to have a silenced pistol. Think ::about it, his ragdollspawn sequence has him almost perfectly hold the Pistol's model. Not only that, Spy also has sequences related to Primary weapons. The Revolver is a ::secondary. Take all this evidence as you will. Sandvich Thief (talk) 11:05, 7 January 2020 (UTC)

The concept art bit doesn't matter, it's unrelated to this. The tranq thing was just an example, just because it got replaced doesn't mean it was a placeholder. I still don't see enough evidence, all I see is that Scout once had an SMG and then it was switched to the Nail gun.
