Hi there,

I must ask you to please name your files properly before uploading them. Files that are solely intended for use on your user page should always be prefixed "User", followed by your username. An example of a proper filename would be: <code><nowiki>User Jane Doe14 example.png</nowiki></code>

This is already stated on the Upload page and help us distinguish between user-content and actual images, as well as to easily keep track of them, and it also means staff won't have to bother with renaming - or deleting such files.

On another note; please make use of the '''Show preview''' button when editing. It gives you a preview of the edit you are making, allowing you to perfect your changes before you save the page. It is rather redundant to edit a page multiple times when it could have been done in a single edit and also clogs up the IRC channel with unnecessary edits. Thanks . .

Hello, Jane Doe14!

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 Signature Icon.png 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 Jane Doe14 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:Jane Doe14/ to the page title when you create the page.

Once again, welcome to the Team Fortress 2 Wiki!

Naming convention of files

Hi there,

I must ask you to please name your files properly before uploading them. Files that are solely intended for use on your user page should always be prefixed "User", followed by your username. An example of a proper filename would be: User Jane Doe14 example.png

This is already stated on the Upload page and help us distinguish between user-content and actual images, as well as to easily keep track of them, and it also means staff won't have to bother with renaming - or deleting such files.

On another note; please make use of the Show preview button when editing. It gives you a preview of the edit you are making, allowing you to perfect your changes before you save the page. It is rather redundant to edit a page multiple times when it could have been done in a single edit and also clogs up the IRC channel with unnecessary edits. Thanks . .
