The basics of rocket jumping are obvious: you get thrown by an explosion. But far from all Area weapons cause explosions at all, and not all explosions will toss you away! I'm looking for Rocket Jumping weapons for several categories, but it is very unclear which actually work. Going by the info and comments here on the Wiki, many have also been changed, and lost the function...

Is there a way to identify which weapons allow Rocket Jump?

Which are good choices for it, in the various categories? Of course low damage and high mobility are preferred attributes.  And the most interesting categories are (for me), in descending order: Special, Backup, Sniper, Primary.(Heavy has a lot of choices and we all own one that works, although there are many better ones. Melee seems unlikely, but if there is one of those that'll let you RJ, it would be interesting indeed!?)
