Hello, Interqwark!
Welcome to the Team Fortress 2 Official Wiki!
Here are a few links to get you started:
- If you're not too familiar with editing wikis, you might like to start with Help:Editing.
- If you already are familiar with wikiediting, you might want to try Help:Style guide.
- Recent Changes will let you see others' contributions as they happen.
- To make Recent Changes more useful for all users, remember to provide an edit summary in the "Summary" field before you save your changes.
- You can set the wiki to prompt you for a summary in your preferences.
- When posting on an article's Talk page you should add four tilde symbols or ~~~~ onto the end.
- This will add a signature and timestamp to your comment so others can easily tell who posted it.
- Any new sections on an article's Talk page should be added to the bottom of the page and not to the top.
- When editing normal article pages, don't sign your contributions.
- You can use the
button in the editing toolbar to quickly add a signature.
- If you have any questions or need any help, please feel free to leave a message for a staff member.
- If you have trouble with anything on the wiki or you're not sure about a specific topic, feel free to join the IRC.
- You can also customize your user page if you like.
- When uploading images for use on your user page, please add the prefix User Interqwark to the file's name.
- Additionally, if you would like to add any self-made content to the wiki, please do so by adding the prefix User:Interqwark/ to the page title when you create the page.
Once again, welcome to the Team Fortress 2 Wiki!

Please don't change anchors
As I am sure you know, one purpose for using anchors is to have in-page links that don't break when headings change. (Another use is to have shorter tags for the anchors.) But when a later editor changes the parameter, the edit breaks the links that were made to the previous anchor parameter. For example, your replacement of the anchor to "Bhopping" with an anchor to "Bhopping / bunny hopping" broke the link from Bunny to the entry in this page. Now, in the case of your change of "FriendlyAnchor" to "Friendly / friendlies", you did complete the maintenance of changing the one link within this page, but you did not change the links to "FriendlyAnchor" in other pages. That was long enough ago for me to not reliably remember all the places I used it (if any, I suppose). Nor can I know for certain if anyone else has used it.
If you want to use different text for your anchors, go ahead, but, please, don't break the anchors that other editors have used. Add your preferred anchors, but, please don't remove or change existing anchors when you do so. Mikado282 (talk) 16:02, 3 February 2018 (UTC)
- Hi. I didn’t take into account that links to anchors were used on other pages. My apologies; it won’t happen again. I think that anchor names should be the same as the names of the sections, however. Interqwark (talk) 02:28, 4 February 2018 (UTC)
- Hi, back. NP. I don't think that anchors should necessarily be the same as the heading (or glossary entry), especially if the heading changes (that defeats the purpose anchoring the old heading when you change the anchor also). Also, I prefer short anchors when the heading is long. All that the anchor needs to be is unique in the page. When I started anchoring, I felt uneasy with white space in the anchors (computer programmer), but that is unnecessary. Mikado282 (talk) 04:20, 6 February 2018 (UTC)
- Yes, you’re right. I do think, however, that anchor names should be consistent, which they weren’t. Interqwark (talk) 08:56, 6 February 2018 (UTC)
