Apology. i don't now. But can i help you ? (something)
 * No worries, we appreciate your enthusiasm, and there is plenty you can do... add some screenshots to the environments pages, or detail to the items pages. We just were fortunate to have developers that were willing to provide us with clean images of all of the items (which is actually unusual). -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  11:40, 18 May 2011 (UTC)


 * So you don't want any pics of items? What about enemies?


 * We have a few, I just haven't gotten to them yet but if you want to add the monster/NPC images you have, that would be fine :D Oh, and please sign your talk page posts with 4 tildes ~, Thanks! -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  11:47, 18 May 2011 (UTC)


 * I'm new to this XD Never done much wiki editting before, but never been part of something which had a fresh wiki made before. I do hope I can help ^_^ I'll try my best. --SabotageTheFool 12:03, 18 May 2011 (UTC)


 * You are doing just great! We are happy to have you here! -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  12:05, 18 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Also just to avoid any confusion the first post wasn't actually from me, I just picked up on pictures being removed and then saw this so came to check ^_^ --SabotageTheFool 12:15, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

Suggestion
I think in the Gems section you should also include an image of what it looks like when you encounter it in the world (before mining) to give people an idea of what they're looking for as it's not always that clear :) --SabotageTheFool 14:40, 18 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Go for it. I have added all the images and information the developers provided for us. The rest is up to you guys! -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  14:42, 18 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Fair enough, when I get back from the office I'll attempt to grab some screen shots :) --SabotageTheFool 14:44, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

Reporting
In all my years of wiki editting I've never really found out how, but who/wear do I go to to report someone for vandalizing the wiki? -Shadowclaimer 17:34, 18 May 2011 (UTC)
 * I haven't gotten the noticeboard set up yet, probably by tomorrow, but you can post it here for now. Once the noticeboard is established there will be a link in the navigation box. -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  17:36, 18 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Alright I'd keep an eye on http://wiki.terrariaonline.com/Special:Contributions/205.211.96.12, I've had to clean up his spam all over the place (he keeps posting "Noteable users include King Hardcore" and other stuff like that all over the place. He's had a couple legit edits lately so I'd just keep an eye out. Thank you ^^ -Shadowclaimer 17:39, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

How to Remove Categories from a page
How exactly do you remove categories from a page? I'm mostly taking about this page. --Mkolpnji 23:44, 18 May 2011 (UTC) Nevermind, I realized what was causing it. --Mkolpnji 23:52, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

Image License
Hiya, dunno the best place to bring this up, sorry! I was just licensing some monster images I uploaded, and the Terraria license is lited under.. um.. Mojang Licenses? I'm.. guessing that isn't on purpose? --FungusTrooper 13:55, 19 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Man.. I thought I had fixed that... -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  13:56, 19 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Can you point it out to me? I don't see Mojang anywhere in the template. -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  13:58, 19 May 2011 (UTC)
 * http://wiki.terrariaonline.com/File:Mojang.png --FungusTrooper 14:39, 19 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Got it.. lol that's me just not reinventing the wheel :D all better now :D -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  19:19, 19 May 2011 (UTC)

Tables
Can you check them out? User_talk:happypal Happypal 14:24, 19 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Hi, I just wanted to know if you saw iteration 3? If there is anything un-satisfactory, I can tweak it all you need. Happypal 19:16, 19 May 2011 (UTC)

Favicon
I tried uploading one at File:Favicon.ico. It didn't work though. Reading documentation, it would appear it is because the current file name is Favicon.ico, when it should have been favicon.ico. Now that I screwed up and the image is here, the slot is taken. Could you delete the image and upload it in the right place? Another solution would be to change the "$wgFavicon" variable to take the uppercase ico, but I don't know if you have these privileges. Happypal 14:36, 19 May 2011 (UTC)
 * It's fine... it will propagate.. it just takes forever. -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  14:45, 19 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Hum, you're right. It was taken into account in my ie. Sorry for bothering you. Happypal 14:56, 19 May 2011 (UTC)

Altering a Template
Hey man,

I just updated the Recipe template and wanted to draw it to your attention to make sure I was not overstepping my bounds. In my attempts to spread the usage of the template to as many item pages as possible I have started coming across conglomerate pages (Molten Armor) showing multiple recipes that were not clear when done that way. I am new to the whole Wiki thing so I do not want to step on any toes so to speak :) --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:Crysyn (talk).
 * On a side related note, why do these say I have not signed them? (Oh, cause you have to click the signature button I guess. Hehe) --Crysyn 18:47, 19 May 2011 (UTC)

Navbox
I created a few navboxes; two to be exact. I tried them at Slime and Ore, as well as their sub-pages. I wanted your approval before rolling out more of them (or reverting). I made sure to keep them nice and minimal (ie. I didn't make a navbox called "Items", with everything). The actual navboxes could use some template/css tweaking, but that can wait. Happypal 07:10, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Can you use the blue border like the boxes on the mainpage rather than the grey? Other than that, they are fine. -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  07:27, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
 * I noticed you added a bar. It looks good, but kind of breaks on pages with more than 1 navbox, like Gold Ore or Eater of Worlds. I'd suggest we add the line as a standalone template like . 89.224.212.127 17:01, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Would prefer not. The double bars is fine. -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  17:02, 20 May 2011 (UTC)

Deleting articles?
Heyo, just wondering how to tag things for deletion on this wiki? I updated the Devourer page to no longer need three seperate templates, but I can't tag the templates for deletion? They are: Devourer Body, Devourer Head and Devourer Tail. --FungusTrooper 11:27, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Use the template . It will add a box to inform users of the page's impending demise, as well as add it to the Category:Candidates for deletion. Happypal 11:33, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
 * That's what I wanted. I tried to no avail, lols. Thanks! --FungusTrooper 11:41, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
 * BTW, you can add a second parameter to the template to add a reason, for example . If you are the original author of the page, or if you are marking a page for obvious deletion (vandalism, test page, etc...) you can also use the  template. It should speed up the deletion process. You can also add a comment to further help the admins analise the situation, like this: ,  Happypal 11:58, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Those pages are much more appropriate as redirects than deleted. -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  16:03, 20 May 2011 (UTC)

Comparison Chart
I have started a Comparison Charts page and have completed it with the all the armor types I am aware of (with a little help from an IP address:)). Before I put in the effort to do this for the tools and weapons as well I wanted to see if this was something that was of use on this wiki. --Crysyn 16:18, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
 * I think it's fine, I just don't like the colors. -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  16:20, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Well, I am colorblind and I just copied the ones from the item templates, hehe.. I then made the middle colors one grade darker for 'subheadings'. If you could give me a color code that fits with the color scheme I will put it in place--Crysyn 16:39, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
 * I prefer a darker heading compared to body content, so try #AFCFE2 for the header row, and use the current header color #E4F0F7 for the body colors... see what you think of that. -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  16:42, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Looks good to me (for whatever that is worth :)). The page has been updated with that scheme.. Ill work on the rest of the charts now then try to figure out how to link it into the wiki some where. Thanks --Crysyn 17:12, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I like that much better... Thank you. You might want to put each chart on it's own page and then transclude them together. That way the separate charts could be added to more specific pages, like Weapons, or Defense items etc. -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]]  talk  17:14, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Will do, Right now I am attempting to template the entries so they will be easier to maintain/update going forward as well.--Crysyn 17:33, 20 May 2011 (UTC)

NPC icon on the front page
So, I noticed you reverted the "NPC" icon on the front page back to the blurry, low quality, and outdated icon. Is there a specific reason you keep reverting all my attempts to improve the wiki? I mean, this is a community wiki, right? Do I need to ask permission for every single change I want to make? Spacebear 22:41, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Changes to the main page need to be discussed and approved. I also do not like your version of the image. It's too pixelated at that size. As for your changes to the item infobox they were ill advised at best. I appreciate your enthusiasm but discussion is the way to go on a template that is used on every single item/weapon page on this wiki.... -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  22:45, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
 * I had fully intended on going through every single item page and updating the referenced parameters individually. It would be completely idiotic to change the parameters of a widely used infobox and not go through and update every page related to it.
 * Apart from that though, I understand that some things need to be discussed and I will attempt to be more careful around important articles. On the subject of the icon, couldn't you have just asked me to upload a smaller version of the icon instead of just flat-out reverting it? Spacebear 22:54, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
