-snip, bad reading-
Damn, I have to retranslate the 'griefing' article again.
I never noticed any intrusive advertising (ad block plus) :smug:.
[QUOTE=GastricTank;23021184]You are so lucky Smash. Valve loves you, and you have a community item, even if it is the knife. If I had one, I would want it to be the flamethrower, I want everyone to feel privileged to get killed by a reflected projectile, have a fire put out, or an Uber stalled by me.[/QUOTE]
If I got a community item I'd want it to be the halo. :smug:

I'm pretty sure that's just drunken rambling. Everything the demoman says should be taken with a pinch of salt.
How many people are currently working on the French translation? Because it's fucking terrible and riddled with spelling mistakes. I'd gladly give them a little help.
Nice work. TF2Wiki is awesome
Half the servers I join have a person with a community weapon playing in them. Hell, even I have one - that's gotta mean something about a lot of people having one.
It is a nice touch, I like my Community Wrench but I'd rather have a Community Shotgun for the engy.
On topic, I like the tf2 wiki, it's nice to check when I need something to reference. I need to memorize the new domain though, I habitually type tf2wiki.net every now and then.
I'd love a community item, but it's probably never gonna happen :sigh:

Just do something nice for the community. I made the Pros vs. Pubbers event (well, I actually adapted it - it was originally an experiment on GameFAQs I hosted, and I brought it onto the Steam Forums) and I actually never really cared about getting a Community weapon (not like any were out back then). Actually, I'm pretty sure my events only came to Valve's attention because I sent them an email about it, unless they've secretly been watching the games since last year.
Honestly, there are so many things you can do to get a community weapon. Just look at the people that have one. My friend Goldenhearted (who made those [URL="http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=819874"]awesome TF2 RPG mockups[/URL]) got one for the [URL="http://tf2.com/post.php?id=3963&p=1"]poster on the blog.[/URL] Acegikmo got one for creating textures used in cp_yukon (and maybe for his work on cp_glacier). The ubercharged.net guys got weapons for their [URL="http://www.ubercharged.net/how-to-play-tf2/the-competitive-tf2-guide/"]detailed introduction to competitive TF2 guide.[/URL] The key people behind [URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3zJcMlqWZA/"]TF2 Interactive: A Heavy's 2fort Adventure[/URL] also got community weapons.
Just a note though: don't actively try to get a community weapon by making it your goal. You probably won't get anywhere. Just focus on doing something cool that'll impress Valve, and do something that actually contributes to the community (such as bridging competitive and public communities, or two continents, as I aim to do next) and you'll probably be rewarded for your work.
Besides, if you're just doing all that hard work for the community weapon, you'll be disappointed, big time - it's just a few sparkles on your weapon.

[B]Oh dear fucking jesus christ lord YES.[/B][/QUOTE]
I thought you meant he won't advertise the wiki anymore so I read the OP and I realized you were talking about ads. :frown:

Cheers for the words dude. You're right

Nah I wouldn't actively seek a community item like that, simply because as you said it's just a few sparkles and a bit of +rep. I've had a few ideas knocking around, nothing substantial mind, but I might consider actually contributing something one day.
Why is the Beta spy on the front page? :/
[QUOTE=Frying Dutchman;23026721]Why is the Beta spy on the front page? :/[/QUOTE]
It's the official class pictures.
Heavy has outdated shading, Sniper has dark glasses and Spy is completely left in the dust.
Yeah we all know that, but before it was official the class images were corrected on the wiki.
I was wondering what happened to the fixed ones.

No they weren't, go to [url]http://tf2wiki.net/wiki/Main_Page[/url] and to [url]http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Main_Page[/url] and you can see there's no difference.
[QUOTE=Lucinice;23018400]Finally no more stupid weight loss ads.[/QUOTE]
It was trying to tell you something.

What the fuck, Soon as I open the wiki page I get about 30 fucking popups for something called Zwinky :argh:
I translated the Sniper's page in french and I edited Scout, Soldier and Pyro's to match wiki standards and correct grammar issues and typos.
Tomorrow i'm going to translate the Heavy, Engineer and the medic then i'll check the other pages :)
New api info on the wiki is pretty disappointing, it doesn't have any ability to update/manipulate backpack like the existing scripts. It could be making way for trades though. :3
if this is a port of the wiki, howcome the original has 1500+ articles but this obne has 500+ ?
Also, some icons are different

If I ever get a community item, I want a community golden wrench.
