New task force
This task force has been created to help co-ordinate work on articles relating to Valve Software, of which quite a large amount are in a terrible state at present. -- Sabre (talk) 16:54, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
Copyedited the Team Fortress Classic article
I Copyedited the Team Fortress classic article. Don't Stone me if I made a mistake, it's my first wiki edit. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gravelz (talk • contribs) 15:57, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
- The edits you made were fine, no problems. If to you the text flows naturally, makes sense and lacks any spelling or grammar problems, then all's good. -- Sabre (talk) 17:17, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
Team Fortress 1
Why is it part of this task force? --Mika1h (talk) 23:23, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
- Its a logical extension of the task force's scope: Valve did TFC and TF2, hiring the creators of TF1 to do it. TF is intrinsically linked to Valve, so it makes sense to add one article that is of historical importance to the company. -- Sabre (talk) 08:32, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
Counter-Strike: Source
This article is desperate need of more info. This article should be FA by now. It has no gameplay or no information about the game whatsoever. Can article have a complete revamp?. --SkyWalker (talk) 05:34, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
I was going through the article and found very little information on the article. Three have been some readers who've commented that they want some more information about the game. I'll be willing to help putting in more information. By the way, Are cheats needed in the article?(There was a comment on that). GideonWanna talk? 07:40, 17 February 2014 (UTC)
- Cheats meaning cheat codes or "hacking"-type cheats? Cheat codes, no. If there are any notable instances of large hacks, e.g. thousands of players banned by VAC in a small time period, controversy caused by some sort of hacking, etc, then you can feel free to include it in either "History" or "Reception". If you can't find any specific examples of hacking, feel free to just exclude it. Thanks for contributing! I've wanted to improve the article myself, but haven't gotten around to it. Glad someone else cares about the game :D --Nicereddy (talk) 07:49, 17 February 2014 (UTC)
Half-Life: Uplink (film) under discussion for deletion
The article entitled
Half-Life 2 or Source engine mods?
Right now the articles/categories/lists are mixed between "Half-Life 2 mods" and "Source engine mods". "Half-Life 2 mods" was the status quo from a while ago before the mods started being for the Source engine, not just Half-Life 2. Should the remaining usage of "Half-Life 2 mods" be converted? If so should a Source engine category be created to separate Half-Life 2 articles from the mods/technologies?
- The remaining usage of "HL2 mod" should probably be put out of commission, mods tend only to need an official Valve game powered by Source now rather than HL2 itself, thus making "HL2 mod" somewhat inaccurate. Category:Half-Life 2 mods should just be renamed as "Source mods". -- Sabre (talk) 13:28, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

Steamworks is becoming very popular for PC games, most of the major 2010 PC titles are using it. So I feel it's about time for a list, similar to the "List of games with DirectX 11 support" style. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_games_using_Steamworks
- the page to which this link leads has been deleted -Resolutionsmasher (talk) 22:27, 14 December 2011 (UTC)-
- now that i think about it, the page was probably deleted for a good reason, I personally own steam and have viewed their catalog, it is absolutly massive. I couldn't all those games on 20 of my computers, so maybe a set of lists would be more efficient. On the parent list, have a list of all the different game manufacturing companies that Steam sells for(i.e.-E.A Games, Gearbox, Crytek, etc...) Then have each manufacturer linked to a list of games that they sell on steam. Steam provides a list of their manufacturers, so it shouldn't be too hard to do, just time consuming.-Resolutionsmasher (talk) 22:26, 15 December 2011 (UTC)-
Mods
Just a suggestion, but maybe we should cover Mods for the games as well? Example,
- If there is a framework for which mods get 'accepted' by the task force I'd say this is a good idea. Perhaps mod's that charge (such as again Garry's Mod) would be a logical benchmark.--Senor Freebie (talk) 22:41, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
- Exemplary mods are probably the only ones that need coverage, an easy way to tell if one is that good is to check with valve, they often aquire rights on the best mods and offer them through Steam(sometimes free, sometimes not). -Resolutionsmasher (talk) 22:05, 15 December 2011 (UTC)-

Defense of the Ancients
Why is Defense of the Ancients in the article list? It is NOT a valve project or game. — Gmt2001 (talk) 13:29, 3 March 2013 (UTC)
- Because like the original Team Fortress or Counter-Strike, it is Valve's intellectual property and represents a part of a franchise owned by Valve. talk•cont 01:35, 07 September 2013 (UTC)]
- And it is technically a Valve project... though I'm two years late with this addendum. :P talk•cont 10:49, 13 June 2015 (UTC)]

Hello everyone, I've gone through most Valve games and tried to improve their infoboxes, categorization, and other, more minor things. I also created a page for

Updating the to-do list
I wanted to suggest, based on the Nintendo task force to-do list, an update to our to-do list which is much better organized than the previous version. Thoughts on this? The current "tasks" header would remain, but with only the "Merge" section having any content right now. We can add others like "split", "verify", "requests", etc. to the Tasks template if articles that would fit under them come up.

Suggesting a redesign
Hey everyone, I made a redesign for the Valve Task Force at my Sandbox page. I still need to add back the Guidelines, Articles, and finish up some minor things, but for the most part it's pretty much functional. The members list is there, but I've commented it out to avoid sending out a bunch of notifications to users. I'll gladly take feedback, I'm not 100% sure about the shades of orange I chose and I think there are undoubtedly more improvements to be made. I'm planning on trying to make a new logo for the Task Force as well, but that won't be for a few days.
Thoughts,
-Nicereddy (talk) 07:53, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
- I like it, as it is thematic and professional looking. You have my support, talk•cont 19:57, 2 February 2014 (UTC)]
- @DarthBotto: Excellent, thanks! I'm going to work on finishing up the articles list and improve the prose, I'll comment again once it's done and then I'll replace the current Task Force page if you approve of its final design. -Nicereddy (talk) 21:04, 2 February 2014 (UTC)]
- @DarthBotto: Done! Prose can still be improved, but I'd consider it ready to be placed now. -Nicereddy (talk) 00:18, 3 February 2014 (UTC)]

Is this place still active?
This place seems pretty dead, anyone still active around here? :/ I joined before I realized that it hadn't been active in a while, but I've still done some work on some Valve related articles. --LichWizard talk 21:05, 23 May 2018 (UTC)
- There's definitely a bunch of active editors still working on maintaining Valve articles. But there isn't much discussion around here. Pretty much all video game related discussion happens at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Video games which gets a lot more traffic. --The1337gamer (talk) 21:37, 23 May 2018 (UTC)
- Oh, cool. I'm a part of that as well, but I thought I may as well join this because I assumed it'd have a more centralized disscusion. --LichWizard talk 22:03, 23 May 2018 (UTC)
