Well hey there you as well as Gracey seem to be reputable, so I have a question. I'm trying to redirect the page Weapon Variants to Reforging. But I'm not sure if I'm doing it correctly, so I will post my edit and if it doesn't work you, or someone else can revert it back and fix it. This is my first attempt at redirecting, so I'm sorry if I screw up. Fawie42 22:22, December 13, 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, i'm sorry for that :P In fact i wrote it at last, but when i searcehd up the word "Presents" it didnt show up! So i was begining making this page, and suddenly, wild page appears. Thanks again, my mistake Vladragon 21:31, December 16, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks
Hello Mathmagician, I just wanted to stop by and say thanks for all the great work you have been doing on the wiki. You have been a great help with the 1.1 and 1.1.1 info. Thanks Gracey91 (talk • contribs • count) 03:55, December 17, 2011 (UTC)


 * Sure, no problem, just trying to be helpful. Mathmagician 04:23, December 17, 2011 (UTC)

Wall of Flesh blog
Awesome blog, great guideline! I love it, keep up the great work!

Thanks
I just wanted to thank you for you help with the housing thing, but I managed to fix it shortly after I commented, and I was wondering: If I needed any help with Wiki in general, could you help? Thanks in advance ^^ KaeKai 20:28, December 22, 2011 (UTC)KaeKai


 * I'm glad you got it sorted out =). If you need help with Wikis, I'll be glad to help if I can. I don't know everything, though, just a few things. Mathmagician 20:43, December 22, 2011 (UTC)

Note
Thanks for the note, I fixed itto where it can be put as a page on the Wiki, but if an admin still has a problem, Ill move it. And Ill take a look at your Goldfish note. I do prefer the timers instead of pressure plates though, Infact, the page you saw wasnt even completed, my internet was screwing up so i had to publish every couple of minutes, KaeKai 22:32, December 22, 2011 (UTC)KaeKai

From which anime is your avatar? Airbornefilip

Page Moves
Hello Mathmagician only admins have to power to merge pages together since it requires they be deleted. Additionally you are correct that they must be merged together under the wikia TOU. Just let me know what you want to call it and i'll move them all to that page. Gracey91 (talk • contribs • count) 04:03, December 27, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hey I'm more than happy to move the pages but i think the name "Diurnal cycle" is something no one will ever search for, and since the other pages wont appear in the search bar like "day" and "night" once they become redirects i think something a lot more basic is in order. I personally think "Time" works the best? Gracey91 (talk • contribs • count) 04:33, December 27, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hey, all done. The histories merge by date so if you wanted to use one of those pages as a starting point you will need to find it in the history and revert to that version. If you need anything else let me know. Gracey91 (talk • contribs • count) 04:52, December 27, 2011 (UTC)

Chat
Hey dude, good to see you're editing in a responsible manner! You know, you're welcome to come onto chat and hang with everyone else one, if you so wish. Nobody's going to bite ^_^ 05:47, December 28, 2011 (UTC)

Categories
Hey I seen you have been adding some new categories which is fine. One thing you need to remember is to create a content page for the category otherwise its just all alone. I know it can be easy to forget to add the content pages especially when your doing other things too. So i thought this may help you a bit, it makes all categories without content pages appear red to you. So you add this To this page.

That page is on the Community Central wiki, its considered the wikia hub. So by adding that script above to the wiki will mean you will see it on all wikis you use. Last off, over my time here i have found many handy scripts like that one which are kept here and here, feel free to try them out if you want. All you have to do is change my name in the url to yours then copy paste them across to your pages. If that doesn't make sense let me know i will try to clear it up a bit. Gracey91 (talk • contribs • count) 11:08, December 29, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hey thanks for the notice. I copy/pasted couple of your scripts over to my global.css and my global.js. I then hard-refreshed my browser (I use Chrome) to try and see the changes, but I don't see anything different anywhere on the wiki. No red categories, no IP addresses. Did I do something wrong? Or are they actually working and I just don't know how to tell? Mathmagician ( Σ talk ♥ blog ∞ contributions ) 11:48, December 29, 2011 (UTC)


 * Edit: I think I got it working now. I see red categories at least! Thanks, I'll try to remember to put content on the category pages. Mathmagician ( Σ talk ♥ blog ∞ contributions ) 12:10, December 29, 2011 (UTC)


 * Glad you got it working. With the css and js its cached so it doesn't always update correctly even with a hard-refresh. If it doesn't work for me i always purge the page, what it does is "break" the cache and forces it to fully reload. To purge the page you add "?action=purge" to the end of the url then hit enter.

I seen in your css you put a question mark about the color code. With the css/js files, they are personal and only affect you. So no-one else will see the hilite on your name. The reason you can see mine and others is, i add it to the sites css/js files. If you have any questions about css/js or how the scripts should work, let me know.

Question about Category Pages
(Sorry in advance for the long post). After thinking about your point about creating content pages for categories, I realized that there are a lot of different scenarios that exist on the wiki:

A: Category page has basic description of category. Page (not a category, but an actual page) with the same name covers the topic in detail and is labeled with that category. Current Example: Category:Explosives and Explosives

B: Category page has basic description of category. Page with the same name covers the topic in detail but is not labeled with that category. Current Example: Category:Ores and Ores

C: Category page has basic description of category. Page with the same name redirects to another content page that covers the topic in detail. Example: Category:Flat Surface Item and Flat Surface Item

D: Category page has basic description of category. Page with the same name does not exist (but searching for that name will still take you to the category page). Current Example: Category:Hardmode Items and Hardmode Items

E: Category page exists, may have a ton of info or just a basic description. Page with the same name redirects to a questionable location. Current Example: Category:Seeds and Seeds (In this case, Seed is an item on the category page (why? it can't be planted), but the Seed page doesn't even have the Seeds category. And, in my opinion, someone searching for "Seeds" might want the information currently on the Seeds category page, or they may want the Seed item. Perhaps a disambiguation would be useful here?)

F: Category exists but the category page itself is blank (but searching for that name will still take you to the category page). Current Example: Category:Adamantite

Which scenario should I strive for when creating categories? It seems to me like A is the best. B and F are easy fixes (I think F is what you were talking about in your earlier post). E can be fixed, but it makes me question the purpose of category pages. Why is there so much info on that category page? Would it be better to turn Seeds into a disambiguation page listing Seed and Category:Seeds, or would it be better to move most of the information on Category:Seeds (leaving behind a basic description of the category) to the Seeds page and make a note at the top saying "Not to be confused with Seed."

C and D are both borderline in my mind. The information is technically there... but people doing searches won't have the name pop up in the search bar when typing, so they might not be able to find it. On the other hand, if the category itself is small/self-explanatory, then making a separate, actual page on the side seems kinda pointless to me because it would just be saying the same thing as the category page. Obviously we want people to find information they're looking for. And obviously we want to try to remove redundancy. But what about when these two goals clash? Which one is a higher priority? Thanks for clarifying, Mathmagician ( Σ talk ♥ blog ∞ contributions ) 21:13, December 29, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hey just to be clear, the Seeds category shouldn't have that much content its way too much for a category page, and yes seeds should be a disambig. Also the page Ores should be in the Category:Ores its just a mistake its not already in there. What i aim for is to try to sum up the category on the category page, if there is a fair amount of info i would make a new page and add it to the category, i'd also link it at the top of the category. But if i can cover it on the category page another page is pointless like you said.


 * F was what i was talking about, you can find them but there not linked with another categories so the only way you would find it is searching the exact name or by clicking the category link.


 * E is something we want to avoid, category pages aren't meant to replace the pages in them.


 * In the end i would say removing redundancy is the most important. Only people who understand categories can really use them to get around, so i doubt it will really effect anyone. I hope i managed to sum that up, if i failed let me know. Gracey91 (talk • contribs • count) 04:11, December 30, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks
Okay, thank you, that gives me some better guidelines to go by when it comes to editing and categories. On another note, I've been using templates on pages for a while now, but I've never actually created or edited one. I've read the Template:Documentation page and some other things, and I want to get some more practice with templates, but I don't want to cause any harm around the wiki. Could you maybe link me to a test template that I can play around with without doing any harm to any pages? Mathmagician ( Σ talk ♥ blog ∞ contributions ) 05:18, December 30, 2011 (UTC)


 * I have my own personal testing wiki here, your more than welcome to use it for any testing you would like to do. I'll make you an admin there so you can test whatever you want. With the template i suggest you start out with these 2 here and here. The first is the most basic of infobox's, which are the template we use to put all the items info in. As you progress, just compare the more advanced ones we have here and see what the differences are. The second is a heading template, we use that one on the front page. This page here may help too, just incase you don't know pretty much everything you can do on wikipedia we can do here. So wikipedia help pages can be quiet useful.

New Section
Thanks for all of the help you have given to this wiki, almost every page I go on, you have edited.Izuh 17:10, January 5, 2012 (UTC) Mathmagician ( Σ talk ♥ blog ∞ contributions ) 21:03, January 5, 2012 (UTC)
 * Well I'm glad to know that my recent efforts are appreciated.

1) Sorry, new to the wiki. I'll add the section.

2) I honestly hadn't noticed those until you said something, and I don't know how they got there in the first place, but I've removed them. Dzylon 01:05, January 6, 2012 (UTC)

Where can I find a list of all the categories?

Also,

Rollback
Hey, due to your excellent edits we have decided (the admins) that it would be a good idea if we were to make you a member of rollback. Rollback is used to revert vandalism with 1 click. A bit more info can be hound here. Gracey91 (talk • contribs • count) 10:46, January 10, 2012 (UTC)


 * Thanks, I'll try to use it when appropriate. On another note, I just noticed that on the wiki navigation bar, a couple links under Community -> Community Portal point to deleted/moved pages. If you could fix them to point to the right place again that would be great. Mathmagician ( Σ talk ♥ blog ∞ contributions ) 02:11, January 11, 2012 (UTC)


 * Thanks, didn't even notice that. Funny thing is its been like that for months your just the first person to notice. Or at least the first to report it. Gracey91 (talk • contribs • count) 05:22, January 11, 2012 (UTC)

Indivisual projects
Forgot to summarize AND sign this one. Erf. Anyways:

I was talking to Dzylon, and looking at your indivisual projects page and I do understand you and him have it under controll, but I figured if you needed help, I could atleast do the Dungeon brick Wall pages for you, to speed the project up if nothing else.

KaeKai 01:02, January 11, 2012 (UTC)

Mathmagician ( Σ talk ♥ blog ∞ contributions ) 02:33, January 11, 2012 (UTC)
 * Hey thanks for helping. By way, totally off topic but I was reading this old physicsforums thread the other day and since you said "erf" (which is awesome) I just had to mention it =)

Eh...
Im still trying to figure out how you reply like that. >o>;; So, excuse the second message. And I finished Pink as far as I can go other than creating a link tpo the brick itself. Ill do blue now, then green if I have enough time.

 * Nice, that's pretty awesome. So far as I can tell, there's just a few div tags. Is that it or was their some other css/js you had to add to the site too? I'm assuming it also works over on the For Testing wiki? I just have to go play around with this again when the project is over =)


 * I had to add the ShowHide/code.js and tweak it a bit, then add the custom classes which i adjusted too. The templates parameters are all set through css/js too. And yes it is fully set up on my testing wiki too. Gracey91 (talk • contribs • count) 04:57, January 12, 2012 (UTC)

Mathmagician can you pleasee explain to me that when you buy terraria on steam will it give you the newest version or the oldest version so you have to update it and if I have to can you please tell me in detail on one of your blogs like hardmode farming and boss walkthroughs how you update it and please do it quickly because I like this game and please answer all of my questions you will see my post starting with your ID in all caps

Mathmagician ( Σ talk ♥ blog ∞ contributions ) 02:01, January 12, 2012 (UTC)
 * Terraria auto-updates through Steam (for free), so if you buy the game on Steam you will get the newest patch.

 * Thanks. Fixed. Mathmagician ( Σ talk ♥ blog ∞ contributions ) 08:37, January 17, 2012 (UTC)

Pardon me for my inexperience, I hadn't been able to find the page I was looking for until (unfortunately enough) immediately after I finished making the page. I will be moving my page to somewhere more fitting to be sure it doesn't get deleted, but I'd rather have liked to avoid this situation in the first place.

hey my friend thanks for all your help on the wiki. if you would like to be an admin please let me know on my talk page. i only have a few things that i want to be done certain ways and if your ok with those then i would like to have you on the admin roster.

things that i think are very important for this wiki if you can deal with how i run a wiki and my horrible grammar/spelling then i would love to have you on the wiki as an admin. (text isnt my thing. I'm more of a visual person.) HeroGaming 20:26, January 18, 2012 (UTC)
 * i built this wiki with video so it should remain video focused.
 * admins must really enjoy the game
 * the front page is something i am very careful about so i dont like any real editing on it without first talking it over.
 * i am very good at marketing because its what i have done for income for several years so i know how colors and articles shoul look and what brings traffic and what causes people to leave so on the marketing aspect i am not very good at taking input because i know what i am talking about so i tend to butt heads.
 * admins have to be active to remain admins its not a forever thing.
 * i dont ever intend to promote another bcrat unless i decide to leave the wiki so yu ould have to be ok with knowing that i want the wiki to always have a final word if something cant be decided.


 * Hey, thanks for the recognition, Hero. I'll put my RE on your talk page. Mathmagician ( Σ talk ♥ blog ∞ contributions ) 23:18, January 18, 2012 (UTC)

Nomination RE
are you my twin brother?

diamond in starcraft 2 i stopped playing just before they came out with masters. just not enough time.

anime? yup my favorite is death note followed by code geass.

about 2000 hours in terraria with mods and texture packs. (the wiki is going to be indorsing a mod very soon we have 6 programmers and 3 pixel artist working on it right now. its going to be a content update. not really a mod but they way it will run is like a mod.)

your walls of text are refreshing.

i dont run this wiki like other wikis. there are no votes. ive been on alot of wikis where they put things to votes and nothing ever gets done. to be honest i am also thinking of promoting the pathogen aswell. i just happened to read a few of your guides and thought you were the right person for the job atm. im pretty sure he will be promoted soon. but i just wanted 1 atm and your guides were on my mind. very hi quality edits. its the opposite of the spectrum for me. i am visual so the wiki needs other good admins who are good with text or this peice of junk im typing right now is how the wiki would look. im just a long term thinker i focus on big picture and grammar and spelling to me are short term. so thats how i am.

also this mod content pack wont be some crap mod that will break the game and make it unfun. its being balance tested and i think you would be a good tester so if your feeling up to it then id like your to give it a shot.HeroGaming 01:13, January 19, 2012 (UTC)

also youve been promoted.HeroGaming 01:13, January 19, 2012 (UTC)


 * Hey thanks for the promotion. I'll continue to help out around here mostly like I have been, and in the new role. On the other topics yeah I love SC2 alot but I only made it to platinum in the ladder (solo) and then I kinda got frustrated and switched to custom maps. I play a ton of Desert Strike and Squadron TD. I hail from the Warcraft 3 era where I played a ton of customs there too.


 * Also thanks for the invite to play the new mod. Actually I was a video game tester recently, testing cloud and the new dashboard for xbox360 xD. So yeah testing is kinda fun in my opinion. However, I think I'm gonna have to decline because I'm just so busy with school, tutoring, other games I'm playing in addition to Terraria (currently on Assassin's Creed: Revelations, moving on to Skyward Sword, Skyrim next, and got more lined up after that!), anime I'm watching, and helping out on the wiki that I just don't think I can squeeze in the time to play more at the moment =(

Mathmagician ( talk ♥ blog ) 07:37, January 19, 2012 (UTC)
 * As for anime hey that's cool it's a great hobby for me. I love action stuff like Code Geass and Fairy Tail primarily, but I also like ecchi/romance/comedies a lot too. So yeah I guess you might be my twin after all hahaha. By the way, if you saw the message I left on your talk page on the other wiki, I'm sorry if it was offending or anything. I'm actually a really nice guy (and I know you are too), so I look forward to talking with you more. For today, I think I've typed so much my fingers are about to fall off!

Chat Question
My stupitity might be overwhelming but I haven't figured out how to use chat yet it just comes with a blank page and when I type a letter in and press enter it dissapears?Donoman 04:57, January 19, 2012 (UTC)

Mathmagician ( Σ talk ♥ blog ∞ contributions ) 05:02, January 19, 2012 (UTC)
 * Hey, to be honest I pretty much never use the chat here and I don't know that much about it. However, I believe that The Pathogen is a chat moderator and I think he might be able to help you. I'm sorry, I just don't really know much about it currently.

not mad at all
im not i understood your intentions in what you were saying was to help not hurt.

also i just finished watching season 2 of sekirei and man i loved that anime must be my favorite haha.HeroGaming 11:35, January 19, 2012 (UTC)

also i have a paid subscription to funimation.com beacuse i like my anime so much i want to pay for high quality i cant stand watching stuff that is bootleged. i really like hd. its kinda snobish of me but once i watch d anime i couldnt go back.HeroGaming 11:38, January 19, 2012 (UTC)

Page protection
Hey the protection you added here isn't needed, the wikia.js/css are both protected from others editing them. Only you and other admins can edit your pages. Additionally sub-page protection isn't generally needed, i haven't seen any sub-page vandalism since I've been here. The vandals are just too stupid to find them i guess. Gracey91 (talk • contribs • count) 15:43, January 19, 2012 (UTC)


 * Hey thanks, sorry I didn't stop to consider the fact that it was in my namespace meant that it was pretty much already protected. I was just trying to think safely by making sure that important code doesn't get changed. I understand that protection is something to be used sparingly so I'll try to keep this in mind.


 * By the way, I think you already know this based on my personality but I just wanted to add that even though I'm an admin now, I still look to you for guidance on all kinds of issues, especially related to policy. You've been here longer than me and you know things I don't, so I will always still defer to you on issues that I'm uncertain about, or that you're 100% certain about. Thanks for all your help recently too, I enjoy talking with you. Take care, Mathmagician ( talk ♥ blog ) 18:15, January 19, 2012 (UTC)


 * P.S. I'm having an issue with turning A Wikia Contributor into the IP address (copy/pasted it onto my community central global.js). In the "Recent Wiki Activity window on the right side of the screen it works just fine. Works just fine in the comments. On the Special:WikiActivity page itself though (which I like to use a lot), if I hard refresh the page I see IP addresses for a second... and then it changes back to A Wikia Contributor. I'm thinking there's some js here on this wiki that's overriding my personal js on the community central? (I also tried moving the code here and here and that didn't work for me. Also, I don't have this issue on the For Testing Wiki--IP Addresses show up there for me without any problems)


 * Edit: Pathogen discovered that it has to do with auto-refresh. As long as I uncheck auto-refresh, I can see the IP addresses. Problem resolved, unless you have anything to add Gracey.


 * Hey thats fine, I'm just trying to teach you want i can. Thats great you still want my input, I'll be happy to help how ever i can. With the js/css you put in your personal files gets loaded last so the site wont over rule it. Path is right, thats the only way it works, you also wont get ips on comments if you go to the second page of said comments. Gracey91 (talk • contribs • count) 05:09, January 20, 2012 (UTC)

Hey there, just saying that I love the new look of your profile! I might take a few hints from it myself, then revamp my own, haha. But yeah, loving the setup and design, keep at it. :D 05:22, January 20, 2012 (UTC)


 * Thanks! It was fun to make, though time consuming. I'm mostly happy with the result. Getting the table exactly the way I wanted it took the longest actually. Tables are tough imo. Mathmagician ( talk ♥ blog ) 05:30, January 20, 2012 (UTC)

hi

Questions about editing
What is element which stands usually on right side of most pages, the one where is written how to craft it, where to craft, rarity, tooltips and stuff like that? And if it is a table, what are dimensions of it? I would like to help but don't want to screw sth.

Airbornefilip 21:20, January 20, 2012 (UTC)


 * What you're referring to is the "infobox." Infoboxes are used on a ton of pages and so they're implemented using "templates," which reduces the amount of code and helps with organization. You can read more about templates on wikipedia. Templates on wikis are stored in the Template namespace. For example, the template used on item pages can be found at Template:Infobox-Items.


 * The way it works is that the Infobox-Items template has all the table code, formatting, and stuff that makes it look pretty. Then, for example, this code is placed on say the the Mythril Sword page:

Mathmagician ( talk ♥ blog ) 21:36, January 20, 2012 (UTC)
 * Values are passed as parameters to the template, and the template does the rest of the work for you. The template code is complex so you shouldn't really mess with it, because a mistake in the template code will cause formatting issues on hundreds of pages that use that template. However, anyone can fill out infoboxes using code like I pasted above. That code is for editing in "Source" mode by the way. If you instead use "Visual" mode when editing, things are simplified by being able to right-click on templates and interact with them visually. Let me know if that answers your question or not.


 * Thanks a lot, that was what I wanted to know.

Server
Hmph... chat is refusing to work for me. 173.217.166.120 should work, on port 7774. Dzylon 00:03, January 22, 2012 (UTC)


 * Maybe not, danged router. I'll try to get this working. Dzylon 00:05, January 22, 2012 (UTC)

 * Okay. Hey by the way I've been wanting to make a new char and start from scratch lately. Is your server noob friendly or? Sorry about inconvenience about not having hamachi. If you can tell me how to set it up (and if it doesn't require me to port forward) then I might do that sometime if I'm not lazy.

I'd love to help you set one up. I, along with many others, prefer to use Hamachi for three reasons. Ease of use, stability, and convenience. It is convenient because most everyone who has anything to do with a Terraria server will be using Hamachi. My server also runs TShock, so I have an advanced array of server commands (including disabling hardmode, as for the noob-friendly situation). I may actually make a blog post later on how to set up Hamachi.
 * 1) Download the program (unmanaged) here. It will guide you through program and account setup.
 * 2) Go to Network > Join an existing network.
 * 3) We'll be using my server as an example. The network ID would by Dzylon, and the password would be Terraria.
 * 4) After joining, my group will be added to your program in a collapsible format. In that group you will see several other users, myself included. Take the IP of the server's owner (displayed immediately to the right of the owner's name, before the backslash) and enter it into Terraria's multiplayer IP query.
 * 5) The port is, unless otherwise specified, almost definitely 7777. Enter that. It's worth noting that Hamachi must be open and active for you to join the network.


 * You can right click any group you have joined and press "Open chat window" to join that network's chat.

That's basically all you need to know. Setting up a server on Hamachi is a very different story, so let me know if you'd like to do so, or if you encounter any problems. Dzylon 06:02, January 23, 2012 (UTC)
