User:Memayz/Helpful Notes

Wiki tricks

• Instead of typing wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/something, you can do wiki.tf/something
• To find the documentation of any template (stuff which looks like {{example template}}), just do wiki.tf/Template:example template
  • Example: documentation for {{User infobox}} can be found at wiki.tf/Template:User infobox

Editing tricks

• To link to the page for something embed-able, without embedding it, add a colon in front of its name:
  • [[:File:Logo.png]] --> File:Logo.png
  • [[:Category:Tournament Medal images]] --> Category:Tournament Medal images

Weapon Demonstration

• Run TF2 with the launch option -no_texture_stream if some textures briefly appear blurry before becoming clear again (example: the Engineer's blueprints when placing a building).
• If Pyroland isn't working on certain maps (for example tr_karma), go to steamapps\common\Team Fortress 2\tf\cfg and add "map_name.bsp" "1" to mtp.cfg. (More info)
• If parts of the HUD aren't disappearing, even after running exec weaponref, run the hud_reloadscheme command in the console.

Misc.

• You can use HTML (and by extension, CSS) on wiki pages (Wikipedia:Help:HTML_in_wikitext)
