Mostly just the general formatting of articles - keeping consistent section titles and using the headers etc...

Also, it would be nice to mention something about trying to be objective when writing articles - articles that completely shit all over a game/gush all over a game are pretty awful.

In terms of actual sections - maybe something about writing plot summaries and keeping them concise (as oppose to writing 1000 words detailing all minute details of the story)

I'm on board with that too. Bringing agendas both positive or negative into wiki's isn't what they are for. Wiki's are for straight up information and nothing more.

@jeff: I'd say just an overall basics on formatting and stuff would be nice. Some people might not know how to use all the tool bars or do things like highlight a word of a game then click the "link" button to instantly link it to the database.

So I'm thinking about diving back into TF2 but my problem is the Tested server from which I played Oh so many hours of TF2 is a barren waste land now. So, if any of you still play what are some cool severs to check out?

So, right now I work at Wal-mart. Yeah, I know its a far cry from being a worthwhile job but its sort of paying the bills for the moment. Anywho, I usually work in grocery but a lady today stopped me and asked if I knew anything about the WiiU console.

Being that Vidya games are a pretty large hobby of mine I jumped in and tried to help her. She was pissed because her daughter couldn't play the game she downloaded. So, next I went down a line of questions to try to actually figure out what the issue was. After several questions I arrived at the most face palm inducing thing.

She was attempting to use the WiiU tablet as a portable game system and did not understand why her daughter couldn't play it when they were on car trips and not at home. She was utterly convinced that this was the entire purpose of the tablet.

I just wanted to see anyone else who works in retail if there is really this much confusion about this thing. It really seems crazy to me that people would be this confused about what this thing is ESPECIALLY when the base model is running your $300+ taxes

This is the absolute scummiest thing ever. And the way they are pitching it makes it even scummier. Christ I hope Gawker goes down in flames. Along with all the shitty blogs that it runs.

So this may seem like an insanely stupid question and I feel like I'm severely over looking something obvious but I have a bunch of TF2 items that I think I wanna try to sell. So... first I want to see what the going rate for these things are on the marketplace but I actually have no idea how to access it?

I updated the game and launched it and poked around but only saw option for the valve run store. Can someone help my bumbling idiot self figure this out?
