Q1: I'm positive the Spy has a French/Spanish/British/Italian accent. Can I add that to the article?
A1: The accent for the Spy cannot be verified by reliable sources. Unless a reliable source (which does not include fan sites or other wikis) can be found to verify the accent, or it is confirmed in a primary source from Valve, do not add accents for this character. Due to the wide-range of suggested accents for the character, it is prudent not to include any accent. Q2: The Scout comes from Brooklyn/New York/New England. Can I add this to the article?
A2: According to the preamble on the page for "Meet the Scout", the Scout comes from "the south side of Boston". This reference is straight from Valve, and is used as an in-line citation in the prose. A3: Although this was previously subject to much debate and was previously rested on machete due to the game models being named machete and a lack of reliable sources pointing to kukri, the introduction of the character customisation screen into the game has confirmed that the sniper carries a kukri, not a machete. Q4: The Demoman's bottle contains scotch/scrumpy. Can I add this to the article?
A4: As there is evidence to the effect that the demoman's bottle is both scotch (from a variety of game textures of the bottle) and scrumpy (from a line spoken by the demoman) it is more prudent not to refer to the bottle's contents, unless a reliable source can be used to conclusively back the point up. Furthermore, the exact contents of the Demoman's bottle is likely a trivial detail to most readers. Q5: Why doesn't the article mention the fact that the Pyro is female?
A5: Since no reliable sources are available to verify the Pyro's gender, it is entirely speculation, and should not be included as per Wikipedia's policy No original research. If in the future Valve confirms that the Pyro is indeed female, then this should be altered. Q6: Can we include game-guide content?
A6: As Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information or a game guide, do not include any game guide style content, such as indepth information on weapons, multiplayer map lists, lists of achievements, lists of ranks, trivia, etc. Individual sections consisting of in-depth information on each class falls into this category. Q7: Can I add fan sites, clans or the TF2 Wiki to the external links?
A7: Because Wikipedia is not a repository for links, Wikipedia has certain restrictions on what should and should not be linked to in the External links section. According the relevant guideline, fansites and wikis are almost always to be avoided. |

"ozfortress" name capitalisation
[edit]Nowhere on the ozfortress website or the newbie guide is the league referred to as anything other than "ozfortress" in all lower case (or "OZFORTRESS" in branding).
Because Institution names need to be capitalised, I suggest "Ozfortress" be preferred over "OzFortress" which is never used.
The topic has been discussed to death in the ozfortress discord. See the then head admin Catfish expressing his feelings towards capitalisation of "ozfortress".
Is the Team Forteress Wiki reliable?
[edit]The TF2 Wiki, although official, still utilizes User Generated Content, which is unreliable (WP:UGC). Im unsure if we can use it for citations (The TF2 Wiki is used for citation 200) Ekrpat-co-x.yy.p (talk) 23:23, 10 November 2025 (UTC)
- the iphone part was kind of a trivia-y thing and not mentioned in the other two refs about the leaked video so I removed it. Ringtail Raider (talk) 05:37, 11 November 2025 (UTC)
15.ai Paragraph
[edit]Is, uh, is the little paragraph about 15.ai really necessary? I mean, not only are there other tts programs used, sentence mixing is still way more prevalent. I'm just saying that the paragraph is kinda framed as if AI TTS changed everything, and is used more than sentence mixing, but it's objectively not??? Could maybe use a little clarification or rephrasing. I could be reading it wrong or taking the phrasing wrong though. So, I mean, not too important, just thought I'd mention it.

About Your Team Fortress 2 Revert of Me
[edit]Thank you for reverting. When I realized that the 2nd team was actually called BLU and not a typo, I tried to fix it but couldn't. So thank you. CΛΛI (talk) 14:30, 14 March 2026 (UTC)

Would it be possible to add a redirect, where it mentions the Official Team Fortress Wiki as reliable source on the article? Quarnds (talk) 19:54, 3 April 2026 (UTC)
Question: What do you mean by adding a redirect? Unfortunately the Official Team Fortress Wiki cannot be used as a source for the article, as anyone can edit it (See WP:UGC). InfernoHues (talk) 20:37, 3 April 2026 (UTC)
