Homepage suggestions

Maybe add a table to the home page with the current champions for every league would be good for newcomers to see who to look up to? Tell me what you think. --Kaneco (talk) 01:40, 3 July 2013 (WEST)


Templates

This site could use some. I don't know enough 'wiki' to not stuff this up, does anyone know wiki-fu? An About template (disambiguation hatnote), intext citation which point to footnotes, stub articles, ??? . I created Template:Hatnote already. Maxim (talk) 19:17, 1 July 2013 (WEST)

Will look into that tomorrow --Kaneco (talk) 01:40, 3 July 2013 (WEST)

Maps

We should standardize how we do maps. Are we going to include the version (b1, rc3, etc.), or do we just leave it at the actual name (ex. koth_pro_viaduct)? I don't like including version numbers because they change. Either way, it should be one or the other, we shouldn't have some maps include the version and some ignore it. --Koobadoobs (talk) 20:58, 1 July 2013 (WEST)

It's good that the map names on the list of this week's maps are in their proper form (cp_steel, cp_metalworks_rc4), but it is not a good idea to have these link to pages of specific maps versions.

Some example canonically named pages:

  • Steel
    • If a koth_steel is released, would we have to update the name of the page to Steel (Control Points), or do we go by the most famous principle?
  • Viaduct (Pro)
  • Waste (Payload)
  • Waste (KOTH)
  • Some Random Map (Pro) (Payload)
    • That doesn't look so good.

or perhaps we name them all:

  • cp_steel
  • koth_pro_viaduct
  • pl_waste
  • koth_waste

and we leave it to the person writing the page to state that the latest version of koth_pro_viaduct is koth_pro_viaduct_rc4, in a navbar.

The new task would be to include changelogs of the maps features, so that readers understand how their map is different to the one being played at the moment, or different to the latest version.

Are there any better ideas for naming map pages? -Maxim (talk) 06:00, 2 July 2013 (WEST)

I've redirected cp_granary to CP_Granary. Maybe that should be the standard? Flatline (talk) 01:13, 3 July 2013 (WEST)

Looked around the site, and I'm seeing more love for the second idea I posted above. -Maxim (talk) 06:13, 2 July 2013 (WEST)

The problem is, this convention looks really ugly when in the title of the page (see:Cp_granary) The first letter is forced to be capitalised (no good), and you can't see the underscore as it's covered by the line break. A layout change needs to happen should this one be implemented. -Maxim (talk) 06:13, 2 July 2013 (WEST)

Class Headings (Offense, Defense, Support)

They are misleading and of little relevance to the competitive formats played. Would like to remove that heading as per Koobadoobs -- http://teamfortress.tv/forum/thread/9921-comp-tf-a-competitive-tf2-wiki/3#post-147997

Now it's been changed to Generalists vs Specialists... which is really just the 6s mentality and doesn't fit in with how HL plays out... should we just leave it? I'm beginning to think just leaving them without headings is the best way to go--Koobadoobs (talk) 19:32, 2 July 2013 (WEST)

Maybe no headings at all would be the best way yes, this way we are not "favoring" any gamemode over the other. If there's an heading it should be much more specific, like Pick class for spy and sniper, Damage Dealer for Demo, etc... But even then it wouldn't apply to both gamemodes.

Something along this diagram? Still working on how it would be formatted in Wiki-Markup. http://i.imgur.com/rD34TzU.png

UGC 6s bans

Currently every weapon only has four optional bans

| 6s_legal = Yes | hl_legal = Yes | etf2l_6s_legal = No | etf2l_hl_legal = Yes

When there should be UGC 6s and even CEVO bans added.
