Dedicated Server Page
I think there should be a page explaining the dedicated server functions and how to use it.
 * Created Dedicated_Server page and added basic information.

NPC Icon
Can I upload a resized version of the updated icon I uploaded previously? I can scale it to whatever size is necessary. That blurry and outdated icon looks awful.


 * I agree. Let him, or use http://wiki.terrariaonline.com/File:Guidenpc.png . - AgentShawn
 * Yeah, and I can't figure out how to get that extremely ugly interpolation switched to nearest neighbor. Looks so much better with pixel art. I'll fix that now and put it on the editcopy. --Null  Talk  03:45, 6 September 2011 (UTC)

"Did you Know" Section
Do you think a possible Did-You-Know section can get on the front page? We can allow it to obtain user-submitted facts and allow 10 or so at a time through a period of time. Not to mention, a featured article page might be interesting too.

Terraria Weapon Overview
Hey all, basically I started a new series on youtube where I take a look at weapons in terraria, give info on their stats etc and give you a verdict on it. The first episode Sunfury is currently on the Sunfury page as somebody suggested I should put these on the wiki. However after putting it on their I thought I should check first, just want to make sure people are fine with these going up. An example of the Sunfury episode is shown here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZYzp2y-9Zo&feature=channel_video_title

Quick Edit - Broken Link
There's a broken link at the bottom of the page that links to Terraria Wiki

All the slight variations…

Character design tips
Hey guys, I make a lot of characters to play Terraria but I can never seem to pick color choices that look good and realistic. I've looked around for an article giving character design tips but I couldn't find any. Perhaps that would be a wise page to make? 174.66.18.53 21:13, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

Terraria 1.1 Wyvern?
Has anyone thought about where to put a link to the Wyvern enemy? I thought it appropriate to place them under Mini-bosses, but I'm still unsure of whether or not they fall into that category. -- Beschutzer 01:25, 5 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Wyvern should go under Common Enemies. This is not a mini-boss, since you can't summon it, and there is no music change nor a message in the chat when it appears. I doubt it should even go under the Rare Enemies category, since they are pretty common. 174.93.195.170 11:59, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

Need to consolidate modifiers
Now that we know more about modifiers and have a modifiers page with subheadings for each item type, we should create a modifiers template to automatically list the modifiers available for each item without having to manually type them in to each item page or replace modifier info on individual items with just a link. Plasmafox 11:36, 5 December 2011 (UTC)
 * This is a wiki. That much information shouldn't just be included on every weapon page. At the most, i'd say that the item infobox could potentially provide a link to the modification page. --JonTheMon 13:31, 5 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Right. The infobox link is a better implementation. Plasmafox 05:46, 6 December 2011 (UTC)

Fail in "Hardmode Enemies"
Bald Zombie isn't a Hardmode Enemie. It's not even a different Enemie, its just a Zombie with a different Texture. --95.222.220.186 13:54, 19 December 2011 (UTC)

Wiki constantly refreshing over time
Does anyone know why this wiki refreshes itself every minute or so, adding another entry to my browser's history (in Firefox or Chrome)? This basically prevents using the back button since you would have to click back like 15 times (if you kept the page open for a while). This is a very weird bug! 24.185.138.174 01:17, 20 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Hmm, that's strange. I use IE/Chrome, and while I'm not seeing multiple history entries, since this week all of my Chrome browser tabs which are on the Wiki do seem to be loading constantly, whereas previously they'd load and then done. So yeah, there's something going on. Do you have any extensions on or something? I'm just using the vanilla configuration of my browsers, no extensions. - Spinfx 01:55, 20 December 2011 (UTC)

Its because of the scripted advertisements - every minute or so, a fresh ad loads

King Slime
Let's rename the section he's currently in to "Events", then move him to "Bosses". He's a real boss - now more than ever. -- TechpriestMagos 00:25, 22 December 2011 (UTC)

I second this. --Moxxy 06:31, 22 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Done. Also removed mini-bosses from the title. — iLiaWneK (block) 10:29, 3 January 2012 (UTC)

Bald Zombie
On the main page it says that Bald Zombie is a hardmode enemy. It's not, someone change that. --79.112.108.69 20:35, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Fixed. — iLiaWneK (block) 10:26, 3 January 2012 (UTC)

Latest version
Current game version is 1.2.0.1, but the "Latest version is 1.2" link at the top of the page wasn't. Also, even though the link says 1.2, it actually links to the 1.1.2 thread on the forum. Blue 3 Oct 2013

New Section
Hi. I was thinking that the main main page, has lots of text. The suggestion I have is that if you could create a section called "Featured Article", "Article of the Day" or "Featured Enemy." What do think about it? (I hope you have understood the idea :S) --ZebaX 23:51, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

Russian wiki
On the Russian wiki does not work the video, but instead sign .

Hallowed Gear
The Hallowed Gear category link sends you to the page "The hallow" --Aidoboy 23:31, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

Allowing NPCs moving up/down the wood platform with help of blocks (simulate stairs)
http://i43.tinypic.com/2m61pia.png

I have found out a way to make NPCs run up/down "stairs", see the picture above. Since NPCs do this unintentionally, they will sometime waste a lot of time getting to where they should be by chance, but well, at least we can build skycrapers which allow NPCs to come down and go back up now.

I don't know how to post it to the wiki page properly, so I will just drop it here.
 * If you want to make feature request you should try finding some modders on the forum. --Icke 09:58, 17 March 2012 (UTC)

Outdated Strategies
Is it ok to remove outdated references (such as this and this), or are they intentionally preserved for those who haven't upgraded to the current version? --Sinister Stairs 14:49, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Feel free to prune outdated information. Articles should reflect the status quo. Keeping things like this around for users who haven't updated doesn't really make sense, at least to me. I don't know who would choose to intentionally not update, and the majority of these people have probably pirated the game. --Lunboks 15:02, 19 March 2012 (UTC)

my-family-lineage

Please, add the Spanish wiki Main Page
http://wiki.terrariaonline.com/Terraria_Wiki/es

Regards!

A change to the main Page
On the main page it just says "Hornet". I belive that it should contain Big Stinger, Hornet and little stinger.
 * Why? User Alex Great talk 07:44, 9 October 2012 (UTC)

Link to hardmode on the main page
There is no link explaining what Hardmode is on the main page, from the first few articles I read I thought it was referring to hardcore. I think linking the two references on the main page would be sufficient. All that needs to be done is change: ! colspan="2" style="text-align: left; padding-top: 2px; padding-bottom: 3px;" | Hardmode enemies to ! colspan="2" style="text-align: left; padding-top: 2px; padding-bottom: 3px;" | Hardmode enemies and ! style="text-align: left; padding-top: 4px; padding-bottom: 3px;" | Hardmode bosses to ! style="text-align: left; padding-top: 4px; padding-bottom: 3px;" | Hardmode bosses
 * Done. --0icke0 (talk) 11:03, 5 May 2013 (UTC)

NPC and Item IDS.
We should list the ids used in the coding for the Npcs and items.

Click Here <-- --EpicCriddle (talk) 07:47, 6 May 2013 (UTC)

Yes I know but I meant listed in the template itself by interjecting this. The PyroX 115 (talk) 08:08, 6 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Because this is only interesting for modders (properly far less than 1% of the visitors) this was removed some time ago and now can only be found on the Data IDs page. I don't think there is currently a need to add this again. --0icke0 (talk) 14:09, 6 May 2013 (UTC)

1.2 release date
i think everyone is in agreement when it is said that 1.2 will be a big deal. it seems to me

Death page should be added to the game mechanics link
The death page seems like it should be added to the link of game mechanics links. It is a good page and hard to find otherwise. 4.30.62.18

Gif files for Npcs
I think that .gif files should be considered as a replacement for Npcs pictures The PyroX 115 (talk) 05:24, 23 May 2013 (UTC)

Servers
i thought it would be nice to have a freebuild server conversation considering they are hard to find...plus my favorite server got griefed so im looking for ANY other server thats freebuild.if you want to see what happened to the server go to 94.23.195.138i suggest you drink an obsidian skin potion before coming on though ---Tobor87

Corrupt Transformation
Should Corrupt Bunnies and Corrupt Goldfish be able to change back to bunnies and goldfish after the Blood Moon sets, because it would make more sense. Werewolves too. Because, in legends, werewolves change back to humans after a full moon sets, so maybe werewolves should change to, ummmm..., something after the full moon and corrupted animals should change back to regular animals after Blood Moons. terrariatrooper9

IRC Link
The Irc link in the portals side bar is highly outdated, Please fix this error. 209.240.122.107 01:29, 9 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Updated. --0icke0 (talk) 09:23, 9 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Icke, Please do not forget to also make similar changes for other language wiki sections. Hard for me to to watch two Wikis. If there are any changes in the terms of reference, global changes, or the design pages (css, js, etc.) Please let me know about these changes. Russian Flag.png Alex Great talk  03:34, 10 August 2013 (UTC)
 * I'm not an admin on the other language wiki's, so I don't have the rights to edit those sections. But I'll let you know if something like this changes again. --0icke0 (talk) 12:29, 10 August 2013 (UTC)

iOS Edition has features from Console
I have seen a few albino antlions and have collected the dragon helmet (or whatever it's called). This should be added along with the IOS version page.--24.196.4.14 19:45, 2 September 2013 (UTC)

Redirect Loop attempting to login...
When I try to log into the Terraria Wiki, I get a message that tells me that there is a redirect loop on the login link. I usually use Chrome, but I confirmed the same problem trying to log in via Firefox. Henceforth, I can not log in. By any chance, is this related to the infrastructure being upgraded on Curse?

--24.144.250.152 21:58, 17 September 2013 (UTC)

Okay. The link works now, so I have no need to complain. Thanks.

1.2's current patch notes on Google Drive
As of time of posting, the wiki main page link to the 1.2 patch notes is incorrect, and takes viewers to the 1.1.2 notes. Currently, the proper patch notes are listed here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1nubZZSGBoUiuKFKzWT7raMrPI35MQtDWSsL-MbHFgqs/preview?sle=true on Google Drive. ~ Novawolf (talk) 22:35, 2 October 2013 (UTC)

Current version is incorrect, and links to 1.1.2
As of the time of posting, the listing for the current version on the main page says 1.2, when it is in fact 1.2.0.1 (Silly Red). It also links to a 1.1.2 thread, instead of something 1.2.x related. Now version is 1.2.0.2 but link still points to 1.1.2.
 * Should be fixed now. --0icke0 (talk) 13:34, 8 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Broken again, current version is now: 1.2.0.3.1 -209.234.193.178 19:31, 10 October 2013 (UTC)

And broken once again, since it's now 1.2.1.2. The editcopy page uses Template:Version, which has been updated, but the actual page has a "hardcoded" link instead. --88.141.106.70 10:24, 3 November 2013 (UTC)

Full list of new enemies/weapons/etc (1.2)
I think it would be very helpful to the readers to have a 1.2 page where all the new items/enemies/weapons/etc are listed in a easy to look at format like at Weapons. Currently, the 1.2 version history page is a very oddly thrown together list which does not do the changes justice. Does anybody agree? Bws2cool (talk) 14:58, 3 October 2013 (UTC)

I agree, not sure why this hasn't been done yet. --NoxiousRaven (talk) 15:11, 7 October 2013 (UTC)
 * There is currently a list of all new items/npcs on my user page which you can use till this is finished. --0icke0 (talk) 13:34, 8 October 2013 (UTC)

Needs additional links
There are news enemies, environments, bosses and such that need to be added to the front page. --64.254.244.103 16:04, 3 October 2013 (UTC)
 * I'll add some of those to the front page. Some other pages need to be combined first. --0icke0 (talk) 13:34, 8 October 2013 (UTC)

Add Pets page to main page
Add Pets page to main page perhaps under NPCs?

Halloween update
Hey there, now that the halloween update has been released the Pumpkin Moon event should be added to the events page. Also, the new enemy Mourning Wood has a pretty obvious referance in it's name, but can we include that referance on the wiki? We also need spirtes for the enemies (I could do this, but I don't know how to). Happy Halloween everyone!

Also, I would call the Pumpking a boss, but would you call Mourning Wood and the Headless Horseman bosses?

Mourning Wood drops it's own trophy, so I would consider it a boss. Horseman does not so I suppose it's safe to leave it. -The Glitch- Hey guy I have been playing Terraria alot now, When the 1.2 update comes and npc arrived something glitch was happening.. well after the painter arrived and bought me some paint..A tile glitch happens.. I was painting my wall until some random tile switch the paint..all of it..I was wondering if somebody know the problem just answer Here...

Link to german Wiki is broken
On the left menu, the link to the german version of the wiki seems to be broken. It only transports me to Gamepedia, not to the actual german version of the wiki, althought a main page exists. I don't know how to change this, so can someone that knows how and has the right permissions please fix the link?
 * Should be fixed now, as well as all other German language links. --0icke0 (talk) 23:43, 12 November 2013 (UTC)

Request for update
The main page and the news need to be update due to the v1.2.2.0 release. 108.11.237.84 01:26, 20 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Updated version number+new event for now.

WHAT THE F*CK
Ok, so a little while after the chest bug happened, the one that destroys everything in the worlds chests as well as the presence of them, a giant part of my world transformed into nothing, then added a glass background and a bunch if weird brown blocks that are completely covering the destroyed section, and the weird blocks were blinking with a yellow outline, then I later found out that when the weird brown blocks brake or get smashed or mined with a pickaxe, THEY DROPPED CHESTS, the world is deleted now, it's no use considering the chests dont give me anything, the dungeons been blown up into oblivion, the village sucked beyond possible, and a bunch of other things, anyways, WHAT THE CRAP HAPPENED?????!!!!!

ANSWER: The game derped. Vague, but true.

ADD HARDMODE
Hey there, I was playing my terraria on mobile, and after killing the wall if flesh 3 times, it got boring knowing I cant access hardmode. Could you please add hardmode to terraria mobile in the next update, also, why not give us some more pre-hardmode boss's, or at least allow players to summon hardmode boss's in pre-hardmode, I'm looking for a fight as you can tell.

Can you add.....
Hey can there be a costume page on the main terraria wiki page? --Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.193.66.130 (talk • contribs)
