-* ''[[Team Fortress Wiki|Usefulness]]'' and ''notability'' are the gatekeepers for admissibility of topics to the [[w:Wikipedia:What is an article?#Namespace|main namespace]] of Team Fortress Wiki.
+{{Map credits|plr_nightfall}}
-* This applies equally to Community topics ([[Custom maps]], [[:Category:Mods|Mods]], [[:Category:Community events|Community events]], etc.). Such topics must be sufficiently ''notable'' for inclusion in the main namespace, as discussed in the policies below.
+{{Map credits|pl_frontier_final}}
-* Many Community topics [[:Category:Topics covered better by other wikis|are best covered by other sources]] and are not covered within this Wiki. In those cases, Team Fortress Wiki will only provide direction to those sources.
+{{Map credits|pl_frontier}}
-}}
+{{Map credits|koth_lakeside_final}}
+{{Map credits|koth_lakeside}}
-'''Community topics''' are pages about notable content related to the [[Team Fortress series|''Team Fortress'' series]] but not directly published by [[Valve]].
+{{Map credits|cp_gullywash_final1}}
+{{Map credits|koth_king}}
-Because the [[Team Fortress Wiki]] is treated as a reliable source of useful information by players, all new page additions are subject to review by [[Help:Group rights|staff]] and any other editors to ensure that they meet minimum quality standards. This includes official Valve-published content, but ''Community topics'' are particularly scrutinized due to past issues with such pages.
+{{Map credits|cp_process_final}}
+{{Map credits|cp_standin_final}}
-A significant amount of ''TF2'' playtime is spent on [[Server Browser|Community servers]] where players are likely to encounter many [[w:Mod (video games)|modifications]] and related content installed. Therefore, our aim with these pages is to find a balance between documentation that is useful to players but with notability requirements strict enough that it doesn't devolve into an all-inclusive sprawl or allow opportunities for spamming, self-publishing, or self-promotion. Content that has a known presence and user base in the community is preferred and should be prioritized.
+{{Map credits|cp_snakewater_final1}}
+{{Map credits|cp_snowplow}}
-''To maintain this standard of quality and avoid moderator actions'', please ensure that the topic of your page meets the general guidelines outlined above and within the content-specific sections below. If staff find a page related to a community topic that doesn't satisfy these guidelines, they may create a talk page section asking you to join the [[Help:IRC|IRC channel]] to coordinate edits. Or ask for clarification and request edits to make it fit the community topic guidelines. Otherwise, the page may be moved to a subpage of your User space without a redirect. Please note that due to the inherent difficulties of deciding notability with certainty, the problem might be as simple as lack of significant community presence and demonstrated user base.

-== General rules ==
+{{Map credits|cp_mossrock}}
-{{anchor|rules}}
+{{Map credits|koth_lazarus}}
-As with ''any'' article, incompleteness, poor grammar, inconsistent formatting, and other quality issues are ''completely separate'' issues from notability — low quality is ''not'' a reason to tag for non-notability. All notable topic pages with quality issues can and should be fixed by normal editing. ''Severely'' underdeveloped pages may be moved by authors or custodians to User <u>sandboxes</u> until improved to at least stub quality. Similarly, there is no requirement that any stub be completed; some Valve map pages languished as stubs for years.
+{{Map credits|plr_bananabay}}
+{{Map credits|pl_enclosure_final}}
-''Please do not [[w:Wikipedia:Reliable_sources#Self-published_sources_(online_and_paper)|self-publish]]''. Generally, to neutrally reinforce notability, a Community topic page should not be written by anyone who developed the subject of the page or with any other personal connection to the production of the topic.
+{{Map credits|koth_brazil}}
+{{Map credits|koth_bagel_event}}
-''Notability is forever.'' Once a topic is notable, it is notable indefinitely; even if a topic can no longer be found hosted in the Community, or by Valve (e.g., [[Asteroid]]), it still retains its notability.
+{{Map credits|pl_rumble_event}}
+{{Map credits|pd_monster_bash}}
-== Mod notability ==
+{{Map credits|koth_slasher}}
-{{anchor|mod|mods}}
+{{Map credits|pd_cursed_cove_event}}
-{{see also|Category:Mods}}
+{{Map credits|koth_slaughter_event}}
+{{Map credits|pl_precipice_event_final}}
-A '''Mod''' is a community modification of a ''Team Fortress'' series game, which is distributed and hosted only by community servers or websites. ''[[Team Fortress]]'' itself was a mod of another game.
+{{Map credits|koth_megalo}}
+{{Map credits|pl_hasslecastle}}
-Mods will only be granted an article if they meet the following criteria:
+{{Map credits|pl_bloodwater}}
-* '''Running on multiple servers''': The mod must be shown to be in use on multiple servers, run by different entities (meaning that if there are a half-dozen servers being run by one group or person, it doesn't count). These servers also have to show a reasonable amount of player activity, and not simply be empty all the time. If a mod is truly notable in the community, then players will request that server admins run the mod and/or plugin, and it will see reasonable activity onthose servers.
+{{Map credits|koth_undergrove_event}}
-* '''Discussion among the community''': Discussion of the mod must extend beyond the thread announcing its creation and development. It must be shown that the mod is actively discussed by multiple users over multiple communities, in order to illustrate its popularity among players.
+{{Map credits|pl_pier}}
-* '''Reported in game media (blogs, YouTube, etc)''': A very good marker of popularity is if a prominent YouTuber uploads a video of gameplay of the mod, or a popular Twitch streamer plays it (with or without fans/subscribers is acceptable). Simply showcasing the mod over the course of a few videos and a few personalities is proof enough of trending popularity; it does not have to be multiple videos over a consistent time period.
+{{Map credits|pd_snowville_event}}
+{{Map credits|ctf_snowfall_final}}
-Coverage of Mods should not serve as the website for the Mod. The creators/owners of the Mod have the responsibility of supporting it online as necessary.
+{{Map credits|pl_wutville_event}}
+{{Map credits|pd_farmageddon}}
-=== Total conversions ===
+{{Map credits|koth_synthetic_event}}
-'''Total conversion''' mods are quite a rare case, and are seen more so as individual games rather Mods of any ''Team Fortress'' game; and as such, are [[:Category:Topics covered better by other wikis|better off documented on their own wiki]]. What would be considered a total conversion would be:
+{{Map credits|koth_los_muertos}}
-* A mod that completely changes the play style or art style of the game, to the point where it is unrecognizable as a ''Team Fortress'' game.
+{{Map credits|arena_lumberyard_event}}
-* The mod is dependent on third-party [[w:Software repository|software repository]] clients for downloading assets.
+{{Map credits|cp_ambush_event}}
+{{Map credits|pl_terror_event}}
-=== Variant games ===
+{{Map credits|pl_coal_event}}
-'''Variant games''' or '''fan games''' are such complete conversions that they are in fact their own games and cannot be played except outside of any ''Team Fortress'' game. There is a large variety of ''Team Fortress''-inspired/fan games; it is simply not relevant for the Wiki to document their presence and they are [[:Category:Topics covered better by other wikis|better covered by their own wiki]]. This does '''not''' include topics that are ''covered better by other wikis or sites'' that were published by Valve, such as [[Garry's Mod]] and [[Counter-Strike]], or part of a Valve game promotion such as [[Deus Ex: Human Revolution]].
+{{Map credits|pl_breadspace}}
+{{Map credits|pl_chilly}}
-=== Source mods on Steam ===
+{{Map credits|koth_cascade}}
-In the event of a Valve-endorsed or Valve-published ''Team Fortress''-based Source mod being released on [[Steam]], this Wiki will offer and provide full support for the mod, similar to how it covers ''[[Main Page (Classic)|Team Fortress]]'' and ''[[Main Page|Team Fortress 2]]'' content. However, if the information regarding the mod is already sufficiently covered, such as in the case of [[Fortress Forever]], additional Wiki-wide support through dedicated main pages, namespaces and other systems may not be necessary.

-== Community event notability ==
+{{Map credits|koth_sawmill_event}}
-{{anchor|events}}
+{{Map credits|ctf_helltrain_event}}
-{{see also|Category:Community events}}
+{{Map credits|plr_hacksaw_event}}
+{{Map credits|ctf_crasher}}
-'''Community events''' are significant, higher-profile events sponsored by organizations other than Valve, such as content competitions, special server activities, charities, tournaments, campaigns, or tours. Community events have been a source of many custom maps, items, and other content that have been [[Patches|added]] to the game. However, Community events can be significant areas of activity in their own right, rivaling the popularity of some activities on official servers.
+{{Map credits|pl_sludgepit_event}}
+{{Map credits|cp_spookeyridge}}
-Community events will only be granted an article if they meet the following criteria:
+{{Map credits|cp_frostwatch}}
-* '''Promotion by Valve''': Promoted through [[blog|blog posts]], [https://www.teamfortress.com/?tab=news news], and/or [[Promotional_items|promotional]] items.
+{{Map credits|pl_frostcliff}}
-** '''Promoted as a TF2 Event''': As part of the Steam Library update, Valve introduced a way for developers to prominently [[steamworksdoc:marketing/event_tools/event_examples|display important game events]] through the Steam Library. This should not be confused with regular announcements mirrored from the blog's news section.
+{{Map credits|pl_rumford_event}}
-** '''Note''': For one-off events or events with a single reward, event coverage should be included on the page of its promotional item (e.g., [[Lo-Fi Longwave]]). For recurring events or events that have multiple rewards, a dedicated page should be created to list all relevant promotional items and provide comprehensive coverage of the event (e.g., [[TF2Maps 72hr Jam]]).
+{{Map credits|ctf_frosty}}
-* '''Running multiple event servers'''
+{{Map credits|cp_gravelpit_snowy}}
-* '''Significant participation''': Public reports on the total player count and rewards distributed.
+{{Map credits|koth_sharkbay}}
-* '''Perpetual event''': Event content is still used after event ended (e.g., maps, mechanics, etc).
+{{Map credits|koth_rotunda}}
-* '''Not region-limited''': Available to players worldwide.
+{{Map credits|pl_phoenix}}
+{{Map credits|pl_cashworks}}
-Coverage of Community events should be no more than ''encyclopedic'' and should ''not perform the functions of the host's webpage''. To ensure historical records are not lost, coverage should start from Valve's announcement and continue beyond the event. The article should:
+{{Map credits|pl_venice}}
-* … include all original links, as long as they comply with other wiki rules, to ensure the wiki article has the same vital information and resources as the Valve announcement does (e.g., Valve’s announcement of [https://www.teamfortress.com/post.php?id=83043 Operation: Digital Directive] provided no less than 6 links into the host’s website).
+{{Map credits|cp_reckoner}}
-* … include {{botignore|updates}} for important changes in the event, such as calendar extensions or rule changes.
+{{Map credits|cp_sulfur}}
-* … include event outcomes, such as participation numbers, achievement levels, contest winners, and charity donations.
+{{Map credits|cp_hardwood_final}}
-* … include navigation to similar past events run by the present host and other past hosts as relevant.
+{{Map credits|ctf_pelican_peak}}
+{{Map credits|pd_selbyen}}
-== Custom map notability ==
+{{Map credits|vsh_tinyrock}}
-{{anchor|maps|custom maps}}
+{{Map credits|vsh_distillery}}
-{{see also|Category:Custom maps}}
+{{Map credits|vsh_skirmish}}
+{{Map credits|vsh_nucleus}}
-'''[[Custom maps]]''' are maps created by community map makers. Custom maps have gained popularity on community servers and have influenced gameplay within the official game, and some custom maps have also been included in the game by Valve as [[Community maps]].
+{{Map credits|arena_perks}}
+{{Map credits|koth_slime}}
-Custom maps will only be granted an article if they meet two of more of the following criteria:
+{{Map credits|cp_lavapit_final}}
-* '''Original version''': A custom map that was later modified into an official event map by Valve is considered notable (e.g., [[Rumble]]).
+{{Map credits|pd_mannsylvania}}
-* '''Used in a notable community event''': Winning or placing in a reputable and recognized community event supports notability (e.g., [[Probed]]).
+{{Map credits|cp_degrootkeep_rats}}
-* '''Rivaled Valve servers / Significant use''': Custom maps with high player count and popularity on community servers over a ''long period of time'' (in order to avoid recency bias) are considered notable. (e.g., [[Achievement Idle]] in all of its variants).
+{{Map credits|pl_spineyard}}
-* '''History making / Originated or promoted new community activities''': Custom maps that played a significant role in creating or promoting new community activities are considered notable (e.g., [[Walkway]]).
+{{Map credits|pl_corruption}}
-* '''Perpetual event''': Custom maps that were part of a community event and continued to be used after the event ended are considered notable.
+{{Map credits|zi_murky}}
-* The following are difficult to assess but may support notability:
+{{Map credits|zi_atoll}}
-** '''Reported in game media (blogs, YouTube, etc)'''
+{{Map credits|zi_woods}}
-** '''Discussion among the community'''
+{{Map credits|zi_sanitarium}}
+{{Map credits|zi_devastation_final1}}
-The following '''do not''' count as factors for notability:
+{{Map credits|koth_snowtower}}
-* '''"This is a really good map."''': Notability should be determined by a competition or community consensus.
+{{Map credits|koth_krampus}}
-* '''"Obviously, someone put a lot of time and effort into this map."''':If so, then enter it into a competition!
+{{Map credits|ctf_haarp}}
-* '''"Such and such have pages and they aren't notable, so this one should get a page, too."''': Notability should be determined by policy, not by comparison to other content.
+{{Map credits|cp_brew}}
+{{Map credits|plr_hacksaw}}
-Coverage of Custom maps must conform to ''all'' policies and [[Help:Style_guide/Maps|styles]] applicable to official map articles.
+{{Map credits|ctf_turbine_winter}}
+{{Map credits|cp_carrier}}
-== Custom MvM missions ==
+{{Map credits|pd_galleria}}
-{{anchor|missions|mvm missions}}
+{{Map credits|pl_emerge}}
-{{see also|Category:Custom Mann vs. Machine missions}}
+{{Map credits|pl_camber}}
+{{Map credits|pass_timbertown}}
-'''Custom MvM missions''' are [[Mann vs. Machine mission]]s created for use in a custom or official Mann vs. Machine map. Custom missions have been used in ''notable community events'', however, guidelines are in place to prevent an overwhelming amount of non-notable or incomplete content from flooding the Wiki.
+{{Map credits|pass_district}}
+{{Map credits|pass_brickyard}}
-Custom MvM missions will only be granted an article if they meet the following criteria:
+{{Map credits|#default}}
-* '''The article is fully developed and complete''': The article for the mission and the map should both contain enough information and media to be considered comprehensive and not lacking in content. Articles should be fully written before being published in the main namespace.
+{{Map credits|}}
-** For any maps and missions associated with a ''notable community event'', all map and mission articles must be completed and polished on user space before being moved the main namespace (e.g., [[Operation Digital Directive]]).
+{{Map credits|}}
-* '''Used in a notable community map or official map'''
+{{Map credits|}}
-* '''Used in a notable community event'''
-Coverage of Custom mission must conform to ''all'' policies and styles applicable to official mission articles. Any media must conform to the naming schemes and categorizations, meaning that files are to be prefixed with the event name, e.g. {{code|[[:File:Operation Digital Directive Blimp.png]]}} and categorized under {{code|[[:Category:Custom Mann vs. Machine missions media]]}}. In addition, articles should be categorized under {{code|[[:Category:Custom Mann vs. Machine missions]]}} along with the event name, e.g. {{code|[[:Category:Operation Canteen Crasher missions‎]]}}.
-== Community assets ==
-{{anchor|assets|map assets}}
-'''Community assets''' are packs of content created by the community for use in custom maps and maps added by Valve. While some packs have been widely used and promoted by Valve, such as the [[Swamp Theme]], [[Construction Theme]], and [[Bullet Crops Project]], the Wiki does not ''need'' to deeply cover all of them. Priority should be given to those that have been notably promoted by Valve.
-Other less notable are better covered on their mapping platform (e.g., TF2Maps.net) rather than using the Wiki as a separate webhost or simply mirroring a webpage, as in the case of [[The London Pack]].
-== Community patches/Fan updates/Showcases ==
-{{anchor|assets|collections|fan patches|fan updates}}
-'''Community patches''', also known as [[:Category:Fan updates|Fan updates]] or showcases, are unofficial content releases, some with fanfare and "update days" that mimic official updates. Most of their content is only usable on community servers or not usable at all.
-To avoid concerns of bias and the usage of the Wiki as a vehicle for ''product advertising'' and ''vote manipulation'', this type of content is not considered notable.
-== Tags and assessment process ==
-{{anchor|tags}}
-Tags are applied to Community topics, first to serve notice that the page undergoing review/assessment for notability, then to indicate that the page has passed the assessment for continued inclusion.
-* Community topics that have '''not yet been assessed''' for notability should be tagged with {{tlx|custom content notice|2=assessment=no}} to initiate the review process through the [[Team Fortress Wiki:Community topics notability assessment project|Community topics notability assessment project]].
-* Community topics that have been assessed as '''notable''' should be tagged with {{tlx|custom content notice|2=assessment=yes}} and a link to the page where the assessment was recorded.
-* Community topics that have been assessed as '''not notable''' should be removed from the main namespace.
-'''Note''': "Legacy content", content that was created before the implementation of the Community topics notability assessment project, should be tagged as such and will not be removed from the main namespace unless it goes against other [[Help:Style guide|style guidelines]].
