In addition to the other kill taunts, the Scorch Shot's kill taunt name is simply listed as "Scorch shot". I think I'll move everything, similarly to the other kill taunts, to the most official name we have for it. Unless the taunt is name directly mentioned somewhere.<br>[[File:BLU Wiki Cap.png|20px|link=List of Wiki Cap owners]] | [[Help:Group rights|<span style="color:green;font-family:TF2 Build;">s</span>]] | [[User:GrampaSwood|<font color="DB9C1F">GrampaSwood</font>]] [[File:PraisetheSun.png|20px|alt=Praise the Sun!]] ([[User talk:GrampaSwood|<font color="DB9C1F">talk</font>]]) ([[Special:Contributions/GrampaSwood|<font color="DB9C1F">contribs</font>]]) 13:47, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
 
 
So we need to update the class taunt pages that don't have the high-fives. [[User:Shine|Anyone who is good with images]] wanna take a crack at that? If not, I'll work on it this weekend. -- [[User:En_Ex|En Ex]]  <sub>([[User_talk:En_Ex|talk]])</sub> 18:07, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
 
 
 
 
 
A question, wouldn't the Sandvich taunt be considered a special taunt, like Oktoberfest? [[User:Justin8|Justin8]] 12:56, 24 November 2010 (UTC)
 
 
 
== Amputator's healing taunt ==
 
 
 
Should the Amputator's taunt be classified as a Special Taunt? Given that it has an additional ability very similar to (and definitely more powerful than) the Kritzkrieg's taunt, one would think it would fit right in even though it's visually identical to the Bonesaw/Vitasaw's taunt. -- [[User:KaiserYoshi|KaiserYoshi]] 09:45, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
 
 
 
==Videos==
 
Does anyone really need ''four'' videos to illustrate the exact same set of taunts? [[User:Hostile Companion Cube|Hostile Companion Cube]] <sup>Roar</sup> 05:55, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
 
:Was about to pull this to attention. This is what the crap wiki does, they have a multitude of videos all of the same thing on the same page. Anyways, the unused guitar taunt is should go on the [[Dischord]] page itself. We should keep if any, one of the high five videos, and get an AA image for the bottle taunt to go on the bottle page. Just an ideal way to fix things. Any other ideas people? -= [[User:M-NINJA|<font color="Blue">'''M-NINJA'''</font>]] [[File:Burger_Gib.png|24px|link=User_talk:M-NINJA]] =- 02:27, 5 January 2011 (UTC)
 
 
 
==Possible use of High Five?==
 
Recently, I was parked in a corner, when a Demoman walks up and taunts. This somehow triggered the high five animations. I'm thinking it's some sort of mod, but if it's not, it may be worth adding.[[User:Gigaspine7|Gigaspine7]] 21:11, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
 
 
 
Same here, but I had a high-five when me and Soldier were in front of each other and taunting simultaneously. Have to check on couple of different servers to see if it's a mod or not.

== Must have ammo? ==
 
 
 
Why to include that? Everyone knows that if you don't have ammo you can't exuip the weapon. Besides you can do the taunt with no ammo. Shoot your last bullet and then quickly press g before the game switches your weapons. There should just be a trivia section explaining that in the bottom of the article. --[[User:SandeProElite|SandeProElite]] 17:14, 22 March 2011 (UTC)
 
:Irrelevant, IMO. Besides, that stuff doesn't belong in trivia. It's a game mechanic. [[User:Turboplant|Turboplant]] 18:11, 19 May 2011 (UTC)
 
 
 
== Do we need these videos? ==
 
 
 
Take a look at the videos on the class specific taunt articles (let's use the [[Soldier taunts]] as an example). I suggest that we remove these as the individual taunts are demonstrated on a per-weapon basis and therefore in more depth by the weapon demonstration project. Besides, I think whoever put them on the articles might be farming views as the videos have been made with the Replay system. [[User:I-ghost|i-ghost]] 13:26, 8 May 2011 (UTC)

I don't like the high five video. Its 8 minutes long and seeing as the taunts take up all of 4 seconds it seems like a brilliant waste of time . It's just repeated heaps and heaps of times and i think the only way you can get off with that is by providing different angles. Anyway, I think it'd be better if someone remade the video.[[User:Pierow|Pierow]] 06:48, 31 May 2011 (UTC)
 
:Removed videos on individual class pages (only present on [[Scout taunts|Scout]], [[Soldier taunts|Soldier]], [[Pyro taunts|Pyro]], and [[Demoman taunts|Demoman]] pages. [[User:Rocket Ship BBQ|-Rocket Ship BBQ]] 10:20, 9 August 2011 (PDT)
 
 
 
== Taunt kill names ==
 
 
 
I just want to know where we got the taunt kill names from. Were they fan made, created by the wiki or officially released? [[User:Pierow|Pierow]] 06:42, 31 May 2011 (UTC)
 
 
 
== Hi-five? ==
 
 
 
In the "hi-five" description, it says that all classes except the Engineer have hi-five taunts, but it then says that after the Soldier and Demo got their taunts, Engi got his in the Engi update, followed by the others. So which is it? Can the Engineer Hi-five? [[User:Ericson666|Ericson666]] 17:29, 13 July 2011 (PDT)

== Class taunt demonstrations ==
 
I think it's kinda silly that we just have images for taunts on the class taunt pages, like [[Scout taunts]]. Maybe videos or .gif files should replace them? Same for the kill taunt pages, like [[Decapitation]]. --[[User:SilverHammer|SilverHammer]] 18:50, 13 July 2011 (PDT)

I understand why the star of my own show achievement is here but maybe a few other people won't. Just throwing it out there how maybe we should explain somewhere here how the achievement unlocks the Director's vision taunt. Also, should we remove the addition of videos banner?

There are a few weapons without taunts now (eg the bison)... What do we think about a list of tauntless weapons on its own page. [[User:FRIENDLYUNIT|FRIENDLYUNIT]] 18:24, 8 August 2011 (PDT)

== kill taunt demo ==
 
 
 
Do we really need such demonstrations of the taunts? I mean, it's a replay video, not even english audio and has stupid music on background. I'm talking about [http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Taunts#Demonstration this]. [[User:Fresh|Fresh]] 08:07, 9 August 2011 (PDT)
 
:Agreed, usually don't post personal/non-technical youtube videos. Removed. [[User:Rocket Ship BBQ|-Rocket Ship BBQ]] 10:00, 9 August 2011 (PDT)
 
::Well, idk but the vids on this page should be redone. Taunt Kills are already demonstrated in the specific wep's own video, so only these showing the unused taunts would have to be redone to show everything better. Or just removed, they're pretty useless. [[User:Fresh|Fresh]] 13:36, 9 August 2011 (PDT)
 
 
 
== Kill taunt and Taunt kill ==
 
 
 
There is no difference between the terms, except that "Taunt kill" sounds better when used as a verb (i.e. "I taunt killed that Pyro" vs. "I kill taunted that Pyro") ''However'', there is a specific someone intent on changing every instance of "Kill taunt" to "Taunt kill", effectively gradually obliterating its existence. Therefore, I would like request that "Taunt kill" is entirely acceptable and should ''not'' be changed to "Kill taunt" just because. Agree?

It appears to trigger multiple flags at the same time. I was trying for the Be Polite achievement and taunted with the Sniper's melee weapon, the server forced the Thriller taunt, and I got these two conflicting achievements at once. --[[User:Zootch|Zootch]] 16:48, 6 October 2011 (PDT)
 
:The same thing happened to me with the normal Kukri taunt on a vanilla server (Therefore, it's not the Thriller taunt causing it). It's appears to be a bug. I'll add it to the [[Kukri]] and [[Sniper Achievements]] pages. [[User:Rocket Ship BBQ|-Rocket Ship BBQ]] 19:27, 6 October 2011 (PDT)

== Special Taunt Criteria ==
 
 
 
What are the criteria for Special taunts? The page defines it as an attack that deals 500+ damage, however, taunts such as the Eureka Effect taunt, Mmmph, Oktoberfest, and the Medicating Melody do no damage by themselves. Additionally, other "special" taunts that grant some sort of passive ability are missing such as the Heavy nomming his Sandvich and the Scout drinking animations. As it stands, the table needs to be reordered with new categories.
 
 
 
Also, shouldn't the Pyro be holding the Phlogistinator for the Mmmph taunt?

== Rename Action Taunts and Special Taunts ==
 
 
 
Currently, the article lists Special Taunts - taunts that have an effect on gameplay, like kill taunts or Heavy eating a Sandvich, and Action Taunts, taunts that used to be equipped in the [[Action items|Action slot]], like the [[High Five!|high five taunt]]. I propose that we rename the Action Taunts section to Special Taunts, as they're no longer equipped in the Action slot, but rather their own designated Taunt slot (and the fact that that's what their item type is depicted as), and think of a different name to label the current Special Taunts section as. I was thinking of something along the lines of Kill Taunts at first, but not all of them are kill taunts; they just all do something beneficial in the game. -[[User:MarioMaster2008|MarioMaster2008]] ([[User talk:MarioMaster2008|talk]]) 21:04, 23 June 2014 (PDT)
 
 
 
== Taunts can have a craft number ? ==
 
 
 
I've just gone to the action taunt's page and noticied that it's marked that taunts can have a craft number.
 
I've also saw that with the recent patch(about the taunts) :
 
'''{{Patch name|6|23|2014}}'''
 
* {{undocumented}} Set all [[taunts]] to be [[Gift Wrap|giftable]], [[Name Tag|nameable]], and have [[Crafting|craft numbers]].
 
 
 
In the game we can see that the taunts are craftable, but is there any plan to craft them ?
 
<small>— ''The preceding unsigned comment was added by'' '''[[User:Dasboumis|Dasboumis]]''' ([[User talk:Dasboumis|talk]]) • ([[Special:Contributions/Dasboumis|contribs]]) </small>
 
: There's no way to craft taunts as it currently stands. Valve would have to add in a blueprint for that. An item can have craft numbers even if there isn't a blueprint for it, or if it isn't craftable at all. All three of these things are separate settings in the schema. --[[User:Omolong|Omolong]] ([[User talk:Omolong|talk]]) 08:11, 22 November 2014 (PST)

Additional kill taunt name

In addition to the other kill taunts, the Scorch Shot's kill taunt name is simply listed as "Scorch shot". I think I'll move everything, similarly to the other kill taunts, to the most official name we have for it. Unless the taunt is name directly mentioned somewhere.
