Category talk:Candidates for deletion

__NOWYSIWYG__ Please use this page to discuss pages that have been labelled for deletion. (Such discussions tend to remain open for at least one week (potentially longer for larger/more established pages))

Remember, you can make a page automatically switch to another page by replacing the page content with a redirect annotation. (Eg: #REDIRECT Environments)

Admins: If an article has been deleted, then remove the link to it from this page.

If you believe that a page has been deleted in error and should be restored, please explain your reasoning to one of this wiki's active administrators.

"User blog:FireBlade45/Do you guys like it?" - Deletion discussion
He subtracted the image and this page is pretty pointless now.

I think that said enough, the picture got removed from the page and he only has text covering up. Has nothing to do with Terraria and violates the Blog Policy. WrittenTutorials (talk) 20:25, August 12, 2014 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the reminder. That blog has been deleted. Oscuritaforze (talk) 21:14, August 12, 2014 (UTC)

"Nexas" - contested deletion
Just another herobrine crier. I don't see a reason to delay the deletion at all. We already have some people feeding the troll.

Capitalization redirects - deletion discussion
According to MoS, pages which can be redirects include "pages with improper capitalization" (with the given example being "Horseman's blade" redirecting to "Horseman's Blade"). The idea here is that such redirects can help with the search engine, even if they would never be used in articles due to other parts of the manual of style. However, upon looking into this issue a bit, it turns out that differences in capitalization apparently don't affect the search tool at all (as Wikipedia puts it: "...it is not necessary to create redirects from different capitalizations just because readers may enter them in the search box - the Go button resolves this automatically"). As a result, the reasoning for keeping them is invalid and any such redirects are (provided they aren't linked to from anywhere) mostly useless.

If anyone wants to keep these redirects anyway, please post here. Otherwise, I think the manual of style should be amended to clarify which capitalization differences are worth making redirects for, and then all redirects which don't fit based on the new text of the guideline should be deleted.

Oscuritaforze (talk) 18:20, September 8, 2014 (UTC)


 * I'm inclined to agree with you, Forze. If the redirects do not contribute positively to the wiki's search engine, they aren't needed. That said, I do indeed agree that the Manual of Style should be amended to clarify what you mentioned above, and I also agree that the redirects that don't conform with the amendment be deleted.

Oktober Festival - contested deletion
Oktober Festival shouldn't be deleted because its interesting to know about the Terraria Oktober Update! (Yeah, I know I made the page, but still it shouldnt be deleted). Loads of people I know rly wanted a page about this, including my little brother, and the wiki should have pages about everything on mobile as well as computer and console! So even if you admins delete my page about the Oktober Festival, please just make another page about it at least. Thanks for reading.

 * Cross-referencing the page in question with other wiki yielded this, which is the only other information I've been able to find concerning this "festival". So I'm presuming that it exists? Even if it does, I don't think that information should be clumped together on that page; rather, each new item or addition to the game should have it's own separate page. I'll be changing the deletion template and the reason, but I still believe that it should be deleted and that the separate articles should be created.

 * Oh, wait. Separate pages? Ok, I just wanted to put as much info as possible on the page to make it as good as some of the other pages. I'll edit out the extra and put some of the new items on other pages( clothier, merchant and guide pages)


 * Elpop11900 (talk) 18:52, October 10, 2014 (UTC)Elpop11900


 * Well, I don't see why it can't stay as one page for now. It'll be like Halloween and Christmas. Admittedly, those two are category pages, but this can be an event like the Moons. Though I must say that page is a bleeding mess. It needs some severe cleanup, to be honest. Freenight (talk) 19:06, October 10, 2014 (UTC)


 * Really? I don't think the content that page discusses is in any way relate-able to the way the Moon events are presented on their respective pages. In my opinion, each of the the new items should have their own articles and the "Ocktober Festival" part of it should be treated only as the title of the update – similarly to how the Easter and St. Patrick's day updates were treated. I may be mistaken in all of this, though, so let me know if I am.


 * On the subject of what to do with this update and its content; Once the pages for it are created, we can update the Mobile Version History article to include where this update belongs on the history. That should be all we have to do regarding this.

"Terraria's Maximums" - contested deletion
I am currently working on this page and I would very much appreciate that it not be deleted. I was planning to have this page be a page that can be a source for gamers from all platforms to go to and immediately be able to see how to get the maximum of something. Ex: Max defense, max mana, max life, max mining speed... TheMeep (talk) 18:27, October 10, 2014 (UTC)


 * If you are planning to make it a guide, then it should be placed on a blog, but with more content than a single line proclaiming "something is gonna go on here, but you can read this while I do something else". Placeholder blogs/pages is violating this wiki's policy. Also, max life, mana and defense are already mentioned on their respective pages. On the whole, the new page is totally unnecessary. Freenight (talk) 18:33, October 10, 2014 (UTC)


 * I agree with Free here, that page should probably be moved to a Blog post.


 * (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻Swaggins ~ ( The Terrarian Bugle ) ~ ( Contact me )┬─┬ノ( º _ ºノ) ~  19:14, October 10, 2014 (UTC)


 * I have moved this to a blog post, it is free for deletion.


 * TheMeep (talk) 19:39, October 10, 2014 (UTC)
 * I personally think that it'd be a good idea for either a mainspace page or highlighted thread when addressing these particular questions. They're often asked, so a quick link would be a big help in more than one way, now that I think of it.

If a decision is made that it would be a good idea, just contact me or use the information I put on my blog post "Terraria's maximums"

"Post-plantera" - deletion discussion
why do you want to delete it :( Ch0mper (talk) 19:34, October 24, 2014 (UTC)


 * New pages are only for actual in-game contents. If you want to talk about new ideas, there are plenty of forums on that topic. If you want to post your own, you can either create a blog or visit the Terraria Fan Ideas wiki. If you plan on creating a blog, be sure to review the Blog Policy, first. That page was unnecessary. Freenight (talk) 19:37, October 24, 2014 (UTC)


 * I agree with Free, here. That page is unneeded and would be better placed in the forums or the wiki he linked to.


 * (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻Swaggins ~ ( The Terrarian Bugle ) ~ ( Contact me )┬─┬ノ( º _ ºノ) ~  19:42, October 24, 2014 (UTC)
 * The page has been deleted in favor of having the information set out under a subheading on the Hard Mode page. Possibly a better idea, as it's still highly relevant to hard mode, while also not having enough information to really require its own page.

"Space Mode" - contested deletion
Why Delete it? I Said it could be a possible update IF Terraria thinks its a good idea, Not trying to make that any type of harshness. Please don't delete it, I Just want it to maybe someday be added.


 * I can't even believe that you'd contest the deletion of that page; that page is like borderline vandalism, in my opinion. "Space Mode", or any of the content you included in that article, are probably not gonna get added into the game. So, if you haven't noticed, this wiki is for actual in-game content, not ideas like "Space Mode". Please refrain from removing the deletion template, thanks.

 * Deleted, but it looks more like it was a misplaced game suggestion than a page which was legitimately made in bad faith. Oscuritaforze (talk) 20:32, November 1, 2014 (UTC)

Mounts - deletion discussion
Mounts seem to behave uniquely enough when compared to everything else which enables flight in this game that having a page for them would be worthwhile. Oscuritaforze (talk) 23:27, November 24, 2014 (UTC)


 * That seems fair, I'd be fine with keeping the page.


 * (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻Swaggins ~ ( The Terrarian Bugle ) ~ ( Contact me )┬─┬ノ( º _ ºノ) ~  23:53, November 24, 2014 (UTC)


 * Seeing that no one else seems interested in discussing this, I'm going to remove the deletion template.

User blog:TerrariaPlayerM8/Terraria PS3: What 1.2 Version? - deletion discussion
I don't know how to put this on forums TerrariaPlayerM8 (talk) 06:01, December 27, 2014 (UTC)


 * On the top bar, there should be a tab that says "forums" click/tap on it, and post your question there. I've answered your question on the blog, but the blog itself is a violation of policy, so expect for it to get deleted anyway. If you have any other questions pertinent to the wiki, please leave a message either on my talkpage, or one of the admin's. This section is used to contest deletion.


 * Freenight (talk) 06:06, December 27, 2014 (UTC)


 * TerrariaPlayerM8 &mdash; As it is indeed a violation of the TW:Blog Policy, that blog was deleted. I'm glad that you managed to find your way to the forums, though! I hope your questions get answered quickly! While I have your attention, however, I would like to ask you to please use proper grammar. Typing with every word capitalized can be very annoying to a lot of people, including myself. Thanks!


 * Freester &mdash; Thanks for helping him out! ^u^

"Upcoming Features" - undeletion discussion
The rationale behind the deletion of this page was that the Main Page rendered it redundant by serving its purpose as an update announcement. However, upon reflection, it seems to me that the value of a page like this is in presenting information about all known upcoming features in an encyclopedic style rather than selected upcoming features in the style of a news feed. As a result, I would like to propose that a) this page be restored and restructured to only include features which are confirmed for appearance in a future update, or b) said information about confirmed upcoming features be added to an existing page – perhaps clearly disclaimed sections on Version History?

Thoughts are appreciated. Oscuritaforze (talk) 22:07, January 8, 2015 (UTC)


 * I would personally be inclined towards adding a "spoilers" section or whatnot to the Version History page. I'm assuming that the page already has a high amount of traffic, so I think it'd make more sense to add it there, rather than restoring the Upcoming Features page, which is bound to have less traffic due to its recent deletion.


 * (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻Swaggins ~ ( The Terrarian Bugle ) ~ ( Contact me )┬─┬ノ( º _ ºノ) ~  17:28, January 10, 2015 (UTC)


 * So it's clear, I don't have a leaning towards either of the options. Oscuritaforze (talk) 07:57, January 13, 2015 (UTC)
