Page of good faith?
http://terraria.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/Joeakuaku Made http://terraria.wikia.com/wiki/Boss_Monsters I find this page as not meaning harm but it is unneeded, however it isn't spam. Should it be made into a disambiguation page? Koggeh

Just answering a question
Ok.

Thanks.

Coin Images in Templates
Finally got it.

Before you left
I was about to tell you one quick thing. Koggeh

He is back. o___o
http://terraria.wikia.com/wiki/User:CJPC2 Is off the leash & he is already flustered about the Portabal Guide page removal. Keep him under watch if you can? Koggeh

Wordmark
No objections from me, Math.

Well
I know I found out I was unblocked after like 5 refreshes and logging in. I appreciate it and all but thanks for giving away my ip.... not that anyone might see it but still..

Update Info Template
I also approve of the Update Info template you mentioned :).

CJPC2 is not a vandal, but a grounded child.
This is not "CJPC2". This is his mother. He created this account without permission and we are changing his password so he cannot access it. We only found out because he used his grandmother's email address to create the account. He is grounded from Terraria and the internet.

"Please do not make edits like this one (the Destroyer does not have 50k HP, do not insert false information) or this one (removing content from pages). This is vandalism, and it is not tolerated."

This was a mistake. He really thought he was contributing and trying to help out. He is only 11 years old (special needs put him mentally about 8 or 9) and has no idea how a wiki works.

"Furthermore, I am well aware that you are associated with the IP address 173.88.21.18 who was recently banned for vandalizing Koggeh's user page and talk page, as can be seen here and here. Please note that vandalizing another user's personal pages is also prohibited. Due to your history of vandalism, I am sending you this warning to stop vandalizing the wiki or harassing other users. Please edit in a manner that is contructive and helpful to the wiki, because if you continue your current behavior, you will be blocked again. — Mathmagician talk ♥ blog 16:54, March 22, 2012 (UTC)" No one here has vandalized anyone's page. Our ISP gives us a dynamic IP address, which is probably why we have the same IP as a previous vandal. According to the email we recieved, his account was started on tht 21st of March, but the vandalism is from the 7th. I can assure you that this was not his doing.

I, personally, use Wikia for other games and I play Terraria myself from time to time, so please do not bring out the ban hammer. What he did was wrong but I don't want him (or the rest of us) to be blamed and punished for what we didn't do.

Is there anyway, short of banning us so we can't use Wikia, that you can delete this account altogether. That would be far better than just changing his password, because then we wouldn't get inundated by all the emails as well.

~KaitLynnHt (KaitLynnHt@gmail.com)

P.S. As you can tell, I have no idea how to use a wiki either. I've never used on like this before, I only read them. I don't know how my message got added to the previous person's comment. I had a blank page when I typed my message but I didn't notice the subject line on the right. I apologise, I don't know how to fix it. Hopefully I think I can delete it form the previous comment, hopefully that is okay to do.

P.P.S. I can change his name but can find no where that will allow me to change his password. Can anyone help me here? --CJPC2 18:13, March 24, 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for the help and understanding ^_^
Oh, I completely agree with the TOC. Last time, he tried to sign himself up for a Facebook without us knowing a year ago and got himself in HUGE trouble. You can imagine the trouble he's in now. I'm not upset at all with the tone you took, because I assumed you thought he was older, or a troll. If I came off sounding like mama bear protecting her cub, I apologise. I should apologise for my kid causing such a commotion. He just didn't understand. The computer is one of the few things he can use and use well, so I hate to restrict him too much, but this is one of the things I do restrict. No accounts - email, wiki, facebook or otherwise unless we make them for him.

Thank you so much for the help. And for not banning. As I said, I use Wikia all the time, just don't have an account since I don't make edits myself. There shouldn't be any more activity from this account in the future but I'm not sure how the whole dynamic IP thing works. But as long as I can use Wikia in the future, I'm happy.

~KaitLynnHt (gmail) Tell KaitLynnHt@gmail.com if you see me online, I'm grounded. 18:43, March 24, 2012 (UTC)

Important.
http://terraria.wikia.com/wiki/Special:UserRights/Jalletheweregoat Has been banned from the chat by me. He was harasing chatters, making fun of the fact that a chatter's relative was dead, & trolling.

I would like to discuss the length of the ban with you. Koggeh

Ice Armor
yeah ive played the obsidian mod but the ice armor looks pretty cheap..........i mean i would like for HERO to add some kind of armor like that but with more detail

Armor Picture Errors
Hey Math, I figured out how to upload the pics to my blog. I believe that it was just the filetype because I switched it to PNG instead of bmp. Now that it's out of the way, mind taking a look at how I've done?

Uhh, not sure.
This guy has been making edits. Not really sure about what to do with that, considering the nature of the edit summaries at the very least.

hello. i am posting this on behalf of my lover, who was banned from your wiki:


 * Unacceptable username - Okay maybe, but there's no your site-specific or wikia-wide rule against my username. I'll change it because it causes me nothing but trouble, but if this is your only reason for banning me, you certainly give me time to correct my user name. On other wikis it's not even possible without bureaucratic intervention. For the record usernames that are not allowed are an offensive name, a blocked name, or a name that attempts to impersonate another Wikia user
 * Intentionally dodging the abuse filter - It said my edit had been blocked due to being a common vandalism phrase. It wasn't a swear, and it wasn't even dishonest, and given the location, it wasn't vandalism. I'm currently in a relationship of that alignment. To be entirely honest, I'm very offended by the fact that I can't even discuss my orientation in public, I have enough issues hiding in my real life.
 * Intentionally breaking the functionality of a user talk page - I was told here by your staff I could do whatever to my talk page, even remove posts. This isn't what aligns with other wikis, so I figured you all have some unwritten code you follow. Maybe you should correct him or specify in the rules before you list something your staff told me was okay as a reason for banning.
 * Engaging in a reversion war - No, I made only positive contributions, you even said so yourself. Our friend even unknowingly admitted to not having read my edits when I claimed to be uncapitalizing as can be seen here, and he said I was capitalizing and pointed to my other edit. You said yourself my edits were unarguably positive. This is a wiki. Anybody's allowed to edit anything, and if you consider my contributions positive reverting them is vandalism. I was undoing vandalism. It's pretty obvious why he did it, I have to deal with it any wiki I go to, but to say I was in the wrong for positive edits, and he was justified in not reading my edits before reverting them is asinine. I didn't start the pointless reversions, which is the definition of engage.
 * Behavior clearly demonstrative of trolling - Please define this one, as it's an abstract idea. I've been using wikia since Borderlands came out and your wiki since about September. I'm not trolling, and you even said my edits are unarguably positive. I don't have anything to gain except loss of editing rights. If you look at the conversation in order, the first thing that was said to anybody was, "Don't revert my edits." If I've said it once, I've said it a million times it's a wiki and anybody can edit anybody else's edits.


 * Every reason you've listed is very, very arguable. I honestly wouldn't care too much, but the abuse filter one really, really upsets me. Even Wikipedia recognizes that users need a place to express themselves and the place I dodged the filter and the content with which I dodged would have even been protected on the most formal of wikis under User pages. I couldn't imagine that somebody would go and ban for the very thing which Wikipedia protects. Also, sorry for not waiting the week, I figured having somebody post this for me isn't a violation of any rules, since they've not lost their rights. Yes hi I am a vandal (talk to me baby) lol banned 20:21, March 28, 2012 (UTC)

. he is distraught over the ban, and i hope that the matter can be reviewed. sincere thanks. :)

Good luck
Hey sorry i never replied, i just got so sick of the wiki. This is the first time i have really been back, still haven't checked my email lol. I just wanted to say thanks for all the help u gave me and good luck for the future, u seem to be doing a great job keeping the wiki going forward. :D Gracey91 (talk • contribs • count)

Just wondering, before I go to bed
Isn't it nearing the time when we should be starting the next round of administrative candidate selections? I hate to sound hasty, but I think things have gotten a little slow, in terms of nominations. ^ᴗ^


 * Nominations are open for now. I talked with Sannse last week and she asked that we wait a month before nominating you again. There's not really anyone else I wish to nominate at this time besides maybe Shadow Wolf TJC, who isn't around, so it appears likely that we'll be waiting a few weeks. — Mathmagician talk ♥ blog 15:57, April 1, 2012 (UTC)


 * Also, I didn't want to say this before because I know it inhibits your creativity, but I really would appreciate it if you could change your signature. Here's a visual of what one of the main issues is. The show/hide code was not designed for being used with signatures. Also, the vertical height is rather out of place, as this isn't a forum. I would appreciate it if you could use an inline style similar to Dzylon's, as is standard on many Wikia wikis, limiting your sig to a max height of 25 pixels. — Mathmagician talk ♥ blog 16:19, April 1, 2012 (UTC)

Re: Signature
Well, I made some adjustments to my signature as per your instructions, what do you think so far? I did want the date and time to print on the same line, but it seems that Mediawiki has other ideas as to that.

I SAY THE LANGUAGE SO FOUL!

It appears that we are missing the icon for the flippers on the accessories template.

I didn't try to fix it and risk messing it up site-wide.

User:Ilvandel
hello. my boyfriend, User:Ilvandel still is unable to edit his talkpage, despite being advised that he is now able to do so. sorry i got it wrong the first time. i dont play Terraria. Ilvadel 03:31, April 5, 2012 (UTC)


 * I have reviewed the settings, and like I said, he should be able to edit his talk page. That being said, if you can post this, then you can also post his response for him, as I said on his talk page that you can do so: "I've enabled you to edit your talk page, but it may take some time for that to work on your end due to caching/server issues. If you're unable to edit using this account, it's acceptable in that case for Ilvadel to post your response(s) ". — Mathmagician talk ♥ blog 04:12, April 5, 2012 (UTC)
 * hi. my boyfriend seems to be IP banned, he is still unable to edit his talk page. :\ Ilvadel 23:12, April 6, 2012 (UTC)
 * Short of completely lifting the block, which I will not be doing just yet, there is nothing further I can do to enable him to edit his talk page. As I told you, the settings on this end say that he should be able to edit his talk page while logged in to his account. He can also certainly edit the talk page using another IP that isn't blocked, or you could make the post for him using your account. — Mathmagician talk ♥ blog 00:05, April 7, 2012 (UTC)

Partnership Wiki!
Hey Mathmagician, I am NgoRocktoro. You might have seen me on the Custom Hero Factory Wiki but that's not the point. I have made a Terraria Fanon Wiki, and can we be partner wikis, I don not know who the Founder is here, but I would like to be a partner wiki, please message wall me on MY TALK PAGE. Thanks,

NgoRocktoro 16:10, April 8, 2012 (UTC)

Okay, I saw your response. I am new to all wikias, so I'm not entirely sure I can use that export and import thing. Plus, my cousin LOVES terraria, and I don't have Terraria myself, but he let's me use Terraria sometimes. He's working on his wikia account too. Also, my cousin's friend has terraria, and I told him about the website. Anyways, about the blog, I am probably going to say:

I have created the Terraria Fanon wiki, come and see it! You can post your fan-based stories, characters, enimes, or even new items!

That's not a lot though, so what else should I write?

Thanks Mathmagician, you've really helped me, I hope I didn't bother you, and maybe you can check out the wiki! Thanks,

NgoRocktoro 13:34, April 9, 2012 (UTC)

Hello Mathmagician ive been making articles on the testing site like Blur, Red, and Purple slimes and probably many more just to help out.

Oh sorry i didnt know i thought it would help.Mr.Hallow 09:59, April 11, 2012 (UTC)

OK, i got the thing you left on my page. i get it. from the way you said it, it sounded like you were really frustrated about it. and i can explain. for one thing, i didn't know. also i just wanted to let you know that the ONLY reason i was posting things like that WAS NOT because i wanted my ideas always at the top, like you made it sound, but its because when i came up with an idea, i wanted to get it put down before i forgot it, especially if i thought it was a really good idea. sorry if it seemed like Spam, it was unintentional, and not meant to be bad in any way, shape, or form. ill try better to follow the rules of the wiki, its just i don't know very many of them, but i will try my best to follow them. and if there are any i am breaking, please let me know, and i will try my best not to do it again. thanks for the info, ill keep that in mind next time i make a post.DT.hak 23:17, April 12, 2012 (UTC)

Re: Hey
Sorry that it's taken me a while to reply to this message, but seeing as how the developers no longer seem to be interested in updating this neat game, I doubt that I'd be interested in participating much on this wiki in the future, sadly. :-( Besides, I feel like I need a break from Terraria in order to pursue new interests. Other than Terraria, there are many other games that I like to play from time to time, including not only popular games like Mario Kart Wii or Super Smash Bros. Brawl, but also more obscure games like Warzone 2100.

However, if there's interest in creating a project that's as epic in scope as, say, patch 1.1, then I might wish to rejoin and contribute once again. Heck, I may even be interested in contributing towards such a project, as a programmer, offering ideas on new enemies, items, etc. or both even. :-)

Also, my earlier interest in becoming an admin stemmed from a need to settle disputes, mediate on issues, and keep others from abusing their powers. If I do return, then sure, feel free to open up a nomination for me as admin. :-)

Quick question
I know I should wait for you or another one of the admins to come on chat, but I have something to ask you; how do I send a complaint to the wikia staff again? I know its using one of those Special: pages, but i'm not sure entirely what that page is. Thanks in advance, LumpZ 04:59, April 15, 2012 (UTC)

Terraria Fanon wiki
So after awhile asking if I could help in the fanon wiki, they made me an administrator. I was suprised by this act but now I want to help the wiki out. Can you link me to a page where I can learn more about the codes used in wikia? LumpZ 08:30, April 16, 2012 (UTC)


 * My personal favorite page for learning wiki markup is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Wiki_markup. Yes, that is Wikipedia, not Wikia, but the cool thing is that all wikis that run on MediaWiki software work the same way. So in general stuff that works on Wikipedia also works here. Another good resource is Wikia's Help Wiki at http://help.wikia.com/wiki/Help:Contents. Also, if you know exactly what to type in to google to find out how to do what you want to, that's a good way to search as well -- but it generally requires that you know the jargon/terminology for what you're looking for. If you have questions, you can always ask me too. — Mathmagician talk ♥ blog 15:02, April 16, 2012 (UTC)

Comments
How do you enable comments in a page? The Fanon wiki doesn't have comments on content pages and I'm wondering if you have to enable it somehow... LumpZ 06:49, April 20, 2012 (UTC)

Advanced wiki code
Hey! I am starting a wiki and was wondering how to code the comments to be different colors for admins and also how to make each user-group have different colored links.(hi-lite) I tried to implement hi-lite but was unsuccessful. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

EDIT: I managed to add comment highlighting. Still having some trouble with link highlighting.

What do you think?
Hey math! What do you think of my Wiki so far? Any suggestions? I think that once I get alot more contributors the mainpage will function very nicely. I don't know if you play Minecraft, if you do, you are welcome to join and contribute. P.S.: I think that the rules seem a bit "overdone" but I think they will set a good foundation and structure. I will make it a little less restrictive in the future. Thanks Dak47922 Talk  17:56, April 24, 2012 (UTC)


 * Hey, I don't really play minecraft at all, so I'm not sure I can help much with that. But, the wiki looks good so far. Keep putting in the time and effort and try to draw more contributors to help it grow =). — Mathmagician talk ♥ blog 19:37, April 25, 2012 (UTC)

"Use Time" and "Knockback" Templates
Hey there Math ^ᴗ^ Long time no Talk-page, eh? Heh. Remember how I started coding those templates to decode the Use Time and Knockback values for the infoboxes? Finally completed them tonight. Also, I had a bit of a breakthrough in that respect; No switches used at all. :) All #iferror's and #ifexpr's in there now. Feel free to have a look at either one of them, the Documentation is all written up too, plus the sandboxes are up with all examples. Luckily enough, with the new syntax, they support just instantly passing through non-numeric values, so they could just be substituted safely into the infoboxes even now, without making a difference to the way they're displayed (while allowing the infobox coding in articles to be modified to save space and time). I do hope this comes as good news, and as something else, I may try revising the CoinCalc template to try and run it off of similar principles. It'd be great to either only need the one parameter, or even have a cross-compatible one, right? :D Anyway, that's me for now. Catch you later dude!


 * Could you draft up an example on the testing wiki of what Infobox-Items would look like with those changes implemented? Basically, I'm curious to see examples like this displaying correctly:


 * I'm sure that's what you intended to do, I was just confused because you created a Template:Use_Time. But we wouldn't actually be using Template:Use_Time, rather, that code would be copied into the infobox templates (so as to not be passing a template as a parameter). And basically what you're saying is that because the #ifexpr's won't affect non-numeric input, no pages would get screwed up in the change. I think I'm just repeating what you said, basically to make sure I understand it. Is this correct? — Mathmagician talk ♥ blog 19:37, April 25, 2012 (UTC)


 * All done. :) Sorry it took so long to draft up the pages and all, but I had a bit of catchup work to do now that school's back on, heh. To sum most of what I meant up; yes, the templates can handle both numeric, and non-numeric values now. This is thanks to a single #iferror at the beginning of each one that prints the base input if it stuffs up. :P Anyway, on to what you requested:
 * The template itself: Infobox-Item
 * Article One (Numeric Values): Excalibur
 * Article Two (Non-Numeric Values): Excalibur-2


 * I do hope this piques your interest a little, heh. If there's any more you wish to know about these, or any more you wish done, just ask. (I am planning to try revise the ValueCalc template in my own time and in my own testing space at some stage, to try and save space on the coding and to save resources on it too.) ^ᴗ^


 * Could I ask that you use the speed parameter instead of the Use Time parameter? I basically put Use Time in there because Dzylon wanted it, but in hindsight, we really don't use it and it conveys the same information that speed does. There's no need for 2 parameters for that, and I think that speed is more widely used, therefore for simplicity, I think we should stick with speed and just consider Use Time to be deprecated. — Mathmagician talk ♥ blog 00:07, April 28, 2012 (UTC)
