  • 2fort is done! As always, it could still use more info, but it's now stubless! Yay!
  • Dustbowl is coming along well. It's a huge map, though, so it's still got a while left to go.
  • Pay special attention to the most popular maps, 2fort (done) goldrush and dustbowl.

Map page names

The map page names have been changed to reflect the names given in the Table of Contents at the time. However, it seems the actual map names in the game itself may be the same as the original page names, e.g. things like ctf_2fort. On the one hand it is nice to have page names reflect the accurate map name from the game, and on the other it is nice to have properly capitalized, full words as page names. Here is where you say which is better for the guide. - najzere^T 21:01, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

I think the issue may be a bit deeper than just Team Fortress 2. For example, games such as Doom, Quake, UT and other similar games may be more easily referenced along the lines "E1M1"; but looks unfriendly when shown as such in the TOC. The alternative of typing out a friendly name may make things more difficult when a player is used to searching by map name. This never applied to games that are names Half-Life style for some reason or other, as the map names are not directly accessible to the user.

In either case, this should be clarified or updated in the style guide (after discussion). If this turns out to be allowed, a short description on prevname= and nextname could help a bit in these custom cases. --Sigma 7 02:10, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
