* FandomNod: A popular fanon interpretation of Pyro is either a burn victim, and/or a woman. While the Pyro itself remains a mystery, TF Comics eventually established that the ''TF Classic'' Pyro was a woman with a massive burn scar.

** In a rare singular instance of Valve asking directly for content via contest, they hosted the first and only "Art Pass Contest" in 2010 where entrants were asked to take a new Attack/Defend map whose geometry was already locked in, and give it an "art pass", adding textures, set-dressing, and provide the overall aesthetic. Two winners were officially announced in October 2010, resulting in maps that would become officially released as "Mountain Lab" and its Halloween variant "Mann Manor".

* OfficialFanSubmittedContent: Many maps, cosmetics, and weapons are community made. Contributors will receive a cut of the profits made from their item being sold on the Mann Co. store[[note]]Since maps aren't purchasable, mapmakers instead have a map stamp put in the store; all proceeds from stamps go straight to the mapmakers[[/note]], and contributors of weapons or hats will receive a one-of-a-kind Self Made quality item.
