Re: {{w}}

I already know dis, stoopid it's on my bookmarks bar rZ 13:54, 25 October 2012 (PDT)

thanks for the help :D

thanks for the warning no more google translator Hardcell 11:54, 23 November 2012 (PST)

Sorry.

Hey,

I'm sorry about breaking that template. And that cache thing explains why it looked broken even when I restored it back to original version at one point. But thanks for pointing this out, I'll remember to use this purge thing next time.

My dyk addition

I wasnt sure if it was a GOOD fact, does it match the rules, not is the fact actually true. I just poorly worded the summary, stupid me, TheGuy299 08:02, 26 November 2012 (PST)

Well, if it is true indeed, then it's a good fact. Also, a link with proof would be greatly appreciated.  –  Epic Eric (T | C) 08:06, 26 November 2012 (PST)

Nevermind, just found a link about it and added it back, with some wording changes.  –  Epic Eric (T | C) 08:20, 26 November 2012 (PST)

Item infobox

Im curious as to how you feel that a user sub-page differs from a user page given that they're in the name-space. How is {{User infobox}} an adequate replacement in any case? i-ghost 15:05, 26 November 2012 (PST)

A question pertaining to the current Did you Know facts.

Can you tell me why the second fact in the Did you Know facts is still there? There is absolutely no proof that it happened. RED Mart Security 14:23, 4 December 2012 (PST)

I have replaced it now.  –  Epic Eric (T | C) 07:54, 5 December 2012 (PST)

Golden Botkiller Models

Hi, do you know how to let the Golden Botkiller weapons show up in HLMV. Golden Wrench say something about discription template.

But i'm not exactly sure where to place it. SuperNova123 07:47, 5 December 2012 (PST)

Sorry, I have no idea how to do this. I'm not completely familiar with HLMV and I don't know how to do such a thing.  –  Epic Eric (T | C) 07:50, 5 December 2012 (PST)

It's seems like these two users i have tried to get contact with just ignore my talk message regarding how, User_talk:I-ghost and one named Ragnar. Can you please remind them to check there text book, also how do i get into the IRC since it appears somewhat down. SuperNova123 09:26, 11 December 2012 (PST)

They may be busy with something else, I don't know, but they've probably have seen your message already. Anyway, the IRC channel is fine and running; see here for info and click the "Chat Now!" button when you're ready to join it.  –  Epic Eric (T | C) 09:38, 11 December 2012 (PST)

This is absurd, from time to time they edit stuff but responding my question is never gonna happend, also i can't connect to the IRC chat because of some error log-in show up when i try. I'm sure they have enough leisure time to respond on my talk page. SuperNova123 03:01, 13 December 2012 (PST)

Re: list of dominant weapons

I noticed that you deleted the page I contributed. Are there guidelines anywhere for notability? I agree that some of the cases listed were a rather specific, but I would consider at least the first few to be worth mentioning - they're interesting from a game balance point of view. Kzig 11:37, 15 December 2012 (PST)

The points in each weapon, if they are better than the default ones, are (or should be) noted in the community strategy pages. Which means all this information already exists in the Wiki, and an additional article for this information is not necessary. Plus, this information is mostly subjective and the terms used (eg. dominant weapon) are unknown to the community.  –  Epic Eric (T | C) 11:45, 15 December 2012 (PST)

I don't see what was obscure or subjective about stating a simple logical definition and applying it to the numbers at hand, but the clarification re duplication is appreciated. To some extent this seems to be tolerated, e.g. with weapon stats appearing both on weapons and individual weapon pages, but clearly this was a list too far.

Re: THE GIANT RED INFOBOX RIGHT ABOVE IT

Ahem. What is "GIANT RED INFOBOX RIGHT ABOVE IT"? Where is "RIGHT ABOVE"? Browser page screenshot one, two Irvitzer 06:20, 21 December 2012 (PST)

I do NOT had this infobox, you may see top of "version history table" in first screenshot. And I don't have this infobox now: screen shot three. I don't know what is wrong ang why I don't have it, but, of course, I'll read it, when (and if) it's appeared.

Mecha Update/ro

After i finished translating the whole page i made the mistake to edit the english version, instead of create the new one with "/ro". Sorry for confusion :) but i have to ask, what are the points good for?

That number is the total bytes added (if there's a plus sign) or removed (if it's a minus one) in a specific edit. Since I copied that page, it'll show a lot of bytes (around 10000). It (usually) helps keeping track of minor or huge edits.  –  Epic Eric (T | C) 13:46, 2 January 2013 (PST)

sorry

hello. I do not speak English very well, so please understand.

Sorry, I mean arbitrarily modify.

About the menu bar thing...

I was wandering how you made the menu thing at the top of your page. I want to create something like it on my user page. Can you help me?

--Lord Manship I love Engineers! I hate Spies! 14:59, 19 January 2013 (PST)

I've created it using tables. You can see more help on tables here.  –  Epic Eric (T | C) 15:02, 19 January 2013 (PST)

Re: Page Move

Thank you very much for the help, I figured there was an easier way than duplicating the file but i did not know how. :) Ekx 06:56, 21 January 2013 (PST)

Painted Dangeresque, Too? painted images

ohai. The painted images do not play nicely with mediawiki/imagemagick because of the '?' in the file title. You can confirm this for yourself by going to any currently working image page and purging it. When MW tries to save the generated thumbnail image it will error out, as ? is not a valid filename character. —Moussekateer·talk 18:48, 2 February 2013 (PST)

Re: Tradução em português do Brasil

Olá Eric,

Agradeço pela ajuda com a minha página. Arrumei a maioria dos Links e vi que você também me ajudou nisso.

Se possível, peço que você revise a página e se caso houver alguma coisa errada ou alguma tradução que não ficou fácil de entender, por favor me comunique ou arrume caso seja sutil.

Agradeço também pelas dicas. Com certeza deixará as traduções futuras melhores.

Can I ask you a favor?

I hope there's a Korean version of 30000 articles event image. I tried to make it but since my work isn't based on non-text image, it's little bit messy. File:Main Page event 30000 ko.png

May I ask for a clean Korean image? Themokey 16:55, 26 February 2013 (PST)

Sure, though I'd need: 1) a "Pathang" font download link (font used in-game in the Korean version of TF2); and 2) a translation of the text "30000 ARTICLES!" in Korean. If you give me both, I can do it in a sec. – Epic Eric (T | C) 16:59, 26 February 2013 (PST)

Thanks :) Here's Korean font, and Korean text is 문서 30000개 돌파! Oh, font for "30000" and exclamation mark is TF2Build. Themokey 17:15, 26 February 2013 (PST)

Alright, as soon as the cache refreshes, the new image will show up. Thanks! – Epic Eric (T | C) 17:24, 26 February 2013 (PST)

Thank you SO much! I don't know how to thank you enough. Themokey 17:30, 26 February 2013 (PST)

Main Page event

You probably didn't see my post here. --BisB 00:57, 27 February 2013 (PST)

That Spy's a bloodeh traitor!

Just undid your removal of the Zombie Spy fact because I just looked in the materials folder of the TF2 GCF file, and found the Spy is indeed meant to have a bloodstained face. [UGS 2nd]Lancer @nti-tank Rocket 22:58, 28 February 2013 (GMT)

Then I'll remove only the "but a bug removed the face" part, as there is no proof they removed it on purpose; they could've done it to make him look creepier (the model itself has no info on any face, so it could have been purposefully removed during development). – Epic Eric (T | C) 15:04, 28 February 2013 (PST)

What's this...

File:Voodoo-Cursed_Spy_Soul_Unused_Face.png. Why did you upload it. What is it, even? Darkid (|) 08:32, 12 March 2013 (PDT)

I thought the title was straight-forward enough. This image was uploaded so that it would be linked to in a DYK fact (...that the zombie Spy was originally meant to feature a face stained with blood?) as a reference. – Epic Eric (T | C) 14:54, 12 March 2013 (PDT)

I should be appreciated if you would do me a favor.

It's kinda embarrassing but, can I ask you a favor?

Would you make a staff vote about *THAT HAT* for me?

I know it's hard to evaluate me since most of my work is written in Korean.

But please make review for me.

If you think I'm not required for it, give me No, when you can't make a decision, give me Abstain.

and If you think I'm okay to get it, give me Yes.

Thanks.

Basic wiki coding.

Hi, i'm starting out here on the wiki and really want to contribute. I'd appreciate it if you could give me some coding giblets and a few Do's and Don't's. — The preceding unsigned comment was added by Chitzy (talk) • (contribs) 00:50, 4 November 2013
