Lightbulb Wiki suggestions?

Does anyone have any pages they would like to have written on the wiki or any suggestions for existing pages? I'd be happy to write some, I have nothing better to do with my life.

Get at Graham and he could do a front page call-for-suggestions or something.

The wiki has needed attention for a long time but it's labor intensive, so it's kind of been left by the wayside.

Wow, a whole lot can be suggested, I am generally throwing this out there..

A Leagues page
A post on all the TF2 Leagues, where their teams are located and website information. A nice little rundown

Extend map section to cover newer maps that aren't there yet (gullywash, mainline, uhmm other stuff)

I suppose we could do a team specific pages if the teams themselves issue the content, or supply a template page for the information for a team for people to fill out for a look/feel thing..

We could work with Cinq to get a good information page for tf2.pug.na and tf2.pug like the old tf2.gather.us use to have.

Another page on tf2lobby.com

I could drop some stuff on how to setup mIRC and so forth that I have lying around

Page on SOAP TF2DM / MatchMod / Match Recorder and other plugins useful to teams in Comp

Page on P-REC and other client things useful for comp players

A page on the CommFt servers (I will do this as soon as I make heads or tails out of a wiki)

A page describing the huge walls of text I write..

A page dedicated to how every third post in a forum thread is "Wait for Sigma's answer"

Not sure if this is wiki material. But a calendar showing the dates/times of league games would be cool. Especially if you could configure it match the users timezone, and provide the link to watch the sourcetv.

I'm not a Wiki guru, but I'd like to offer a response to you, if it's what you are looking for in assistance. I've looked at Badlands as an example and tried to just add to what is there, rather than full rework.

I hope this is what you were looking for or at least some idea to improve.


Template for Maps --


Map Name

Map Biography

- type
- author
- current version if applicable
- popularity scale (1-5) 5 = highest


(new feature) Thumbnail pictures of the map running horizontal and can view in larger slideshow


Description (CP/CTF/other):



Individual Map pictures with terminology, technical description of each point (e.g., cap rate, access methods, general/typical tactics of either team).


Class based descriptions, like their jobs as typically done, basic tactics
- Medic
- Sollys
- Demo
- Scouts




Resource of Strategies
- youtube vids
- individual writeups
- links to threads or consolidation of threads
- atypical strategies



I concur with Hawkeye's suggestions too.
