RTE glitches
Hey Path, if you see any more edits like this one where the RTE glitches out big time, could you maybe start a diff list for them? I think I've seen this once or twice before -- wish I could remember where -- might be nice to start up a list of these so we can send them to Special:Contact/bug. Not a big deal though, just if you feel like it. — Mathmagician talk ♥ blog 02:15, May 2, 2012 (UTC)


 * Definitely sounds like a plan there. :) Thanks for reminding me about that Math, I knew something must have been up when I saw that amount of code in the page. Last time I saw it (And looked into it) I think I heard it was because of an old version of IE misreading Wikia's new editor.

Congrats
Congratulations, you nomination has been successfully closed. Brandon Rhea has granted you admin rights per the results of the nomination. (The temporary provision requiring staff approval for nominations has been removed.) Dzylon is updating all of the necessary stuff, so if it doesn't say "Administrator" on your profile or something -- don't worry, it will soon.

I don't really have much else to say, as I'm sure that you're comfortable with most of the basic admin tools. If you have any questions though, feel free to ask, as always. Otherwise I'll assume that you pretty much have the hang of everything ^^ — Mathmagician talk ♥ blog 00:18, May 3, 2012 (UTC)


 * Yes, everything's been updated (though some of it may require a hard refresh). Congratulations! :)


 * An extreme thanks to all that nominated me, to Dzylon for giving me the provisions that go with becoming an admin, and to Brandon Rhea for approving of the nomination in the end! I'll be sure to serve the wiki to the best of my ability as I have in the past, and for as long as I can in the future. ^^

Quick Congrats
Heya Path! Congrats on getting admin! Hope you get to be one of the best admins on this wiki!! :D

Good luck, -- Hellexarus 15:50, May 3, 2012 (UTC)

New Banner
Hey, I'm currently working on the new main page design. If you still have it, could you send me the original main page banner (without the buttons for the imagemap)? Also, we may be using a wider banner that takes up the width of the page, but I'm not entirely sure of that yet.

Thanks,


 * By "original", do you mean Hero's, or my version? Because if you mean Hero's, I won't likely be able to do much about the buttons. :/ Otherwise, if you do mean mine, I can definitely get back to you in regards to the base design.


 * Yep, I mean yours.


 * Nice and Easy. :)

 * Nice and fast reply this time around, heh.

Capitalizing
Hey, just wondering why you capitalized "very slow" and "average" in the Night's Edge article. Only titles for items and enemies/monsters should be capitalized. Quote: Speed changed from "Very Slow" to "Average".


 * Main reason being that the speeds themselves are capitalised ingame, and I was just keeping to those exact quotes.


 * When quoting sentences from the game, it's correct to let the capitalizing stay the same. However, the following: Speed changed from "Very Slow" to "Average" is not a quote from the game, and only the single adjectives are "quoted". Like I said, only titles from the game's content (items, monsters, environments..) should be capitalized. Adjectives should never be capitalized, unless when part of a citation.


 * Be that as it may, there is another element used throughout the wiki that follows that exact same principle: Infoboxes. Are not all instances of an item's speed (And knockback) capitalised in infoboxes?


 * If we used English we wouldn't have this problem~ 07:37, May 17, 2012 (UTC)


 * Reference; Use Time

┌────────────┘

I'm not really happy with the legibility of my sig yet, and four tildes is convenient enough for temp sigs. I thought you were talking about the mediawiki magic word for inserting my time in my sig automaticaly until I read the link 07:56, May 17, 2012 (UTC)


 * Oh, in relation to that; What magic word(s) would/do you use?


 * Well it depends. I would personally rearrange the format because, well D/M/Y, but to look like I would do,  ,  (UTC) which would display 08:43, May 17, 2012 (UTC)


 * I Would also forget to sign my posts altogether. 08:51, May 17, 2012 (UTC)

reply
Continuing where we left off. That's another...issue, if you will. Yet another thing we need to be clear about in the Editing Policy. Infoboxes usually don't contain sentences, but instead a list of statistics and cue words. I therefore personally feel it's acceptable to capitalize things like "Crafted With" and "Very Slow," although I'd prefer if the same rules of capitalization applied here, and that we change the infobox-templates and edit the infoboxes accordingly. I'm asking Math for feedback regarding this subject.


 * In the article: The priority with articles is making them readable. Attributes such as very slow needn't be capitalized in the article. Full sentence, direct quotes from the game should be shown exactly as they appear in game. Item, monster and buff names (or plural forms of these nouns) should always be treated as proper nouns -- capitalized to help people identify these important entities. Besides these allowances, follow the general rules of English. (I wouldn't capitalize things referring to more general concepts: i.e. environments, hellevator, attributes, obsidian generator, etc.)


 * In infoboxes: Infoboxes are meant to display statistics at a glance, rules of English don't matter so much here. I'd be perfectly fine with both very slow and Very Slow in infoboxes, but Very Slow looks more professional and mirrors how it appears in in-game menus. In general, infoboxes aren't meant to be edited frequently -- there's no real concern on my part for setting "rules" for them. That's my opinion, at least.


 * Fair enough, we're on an agreement. Thanks for replying.

Re: Merchant Glitch
When a bloodmoon rose my merchant died and zombies and demon eyes started spawning around my house again for 3 nights, then after that my merchant came back and that night no more zombies and demon eyes spawned.Is this a glitch?~TheShadowphoniex~


 * It seems other spawning factors may have been in effect. What sort of place was your house in? Were there caves around? How many NPCs were there present?

Talkback
Is it true a blood moon has 1 out of 9 chance of rising???When I was a noob there was never a blood moon until I went to the coruppt areas, now everytime I visit the corrupt areas 2 nights later there is always a blood moon.~TheShadowPhoniex~

Resume tips
I've been re-working my resume lately and thought I'd share this blog I came across with you. It has some great tips for how you can potentially put your experience on Wikia to use on your resume. You should bookmark it =)


 * This is an extremely interesting post! Thanks a lot for sharing it with me, Math. :) In fact, I've actually been looking for a way to translate my Wikia experience into a "usable" form in terms of job applications - This may just be exactly what I was meaning.

Chat with Bushi
Hi the pathogen how old are u. I'm 14 by the wayBushi99 01:31, May 20, 2012 (UTC)Bushi


 * Hi there Bushi, I'm 17 years old. Good to see you joined the community here! I hope you're enjoying it so far?

NPCs
Hey, I'm fixing the NPC pages with the collapse template. I'm just semi-active atm so it takes a little bit time. No need to take my job. Thanks.


 * I had no intention of taking the job, just that I had those particular pages open at the time when I saw your first use of the collapse template. :) I wasn't even aware that we had such a template on the wiki, so I have to thank you for indirectly introducing me to it. Oh, in addition; those three pages were the only three I was going to add the template to.


 * No worries, it's all good, hehe. It's just that I like keeping busy, especially when I'm working on a to-do list. Just wanted to let you know that I want to do the edits, as I'm sure you have no problem finding things to do anyway. :)


 * Yup yup! Now I've just got to locate a suitable way to get that "craftable" parameter to work the way we all want it to, preferably without having to use it at all... But, #if's have their limits. ^ᴗ^

Banner
I don't mean to rush you, but how's the new banner coming along?

Terraria Problem
Hi. I recently bought Terraria, so this is about the first time. It says, installing, but then it says it doesnt work. Then it says Terraria itslef has stopped working. I try over and over and I get the same results every time I try. What should I do?

66.74.179.38 20:31, June 20, 2012 (UTC)


 * Hi there, and welcome to the wiki! Just a small piece of advice, as it may make it easier to communicate; if you wish you can create an account for use here on the wiki. Anyway, in regards to your problem: could I ask what your computer specs are? The main aspect I'd need to know is your Operating System, but other pieces of info may help. It does sound like it could be a Steam error, though that also depends; did you buy the Collector's Edition, or the normal Steam version?

Looks familiar..?
This is totally random, but this person's signature reminded me of a picture you've used on your profile at one point in time... http://anilinkz.com/forums/member.php?u=5309 -- does that look familiar at all to you, or am I just going crazy?

Spotlight Image
Hey, do you happen to have a larger version of the spotlight image you made? Wendy told me that the design team is more likely to use an image that hasn't been sized for spotlight use.


 * I do not, though if it's needed I can put one together.


 * That won't be necessary, we're going to try the one you already made.

Time travel + Summer 2012 anime season
https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-M4WDyKC_paA/T_KPqgwZHjI/AAAAAAAAAZM/eQzmcWgyFMQ/s278/I%2520must%2520be%2520a%2520time%2520traveler.png <-- Time traveler indeed! That's pretty cool =)

By the way, did you know summer anime season is starting? Here is my list so you can see what I'll be watching. This season is going to be sooo overkill on the fanservice =P. Oh and, Campione has quite possibly one of my favorite first episodes out of any anime ever. You should look into those shows if you want to watch any of them. Oh and if you have shows from this season not on that list, send them to me! Anyways, hope all's going well,


 * Haha, that occurred after I edited my page on the Minecraft Wiki, then quickly switched back to the activity page. >.> My my, I do need to catch up on the flow of things, that and actually finish some of the anime I've started! But I do see some interesting ones on there, especially the Fairy Tail Movie and Dog Days. I didn't think that the fanservice could really be turned up much more! O.o I'll certainly look into Campione, and let's see...


 * Nothing really to suggest in regards to recently (Anywhere around mid-2012) aired shows, and I was going to suggest Railgun, but then I noticed you'd already watched it, as well as rated it at the same level as I have, haha. Anyway, I'd probably recommend Ao no Exorcist, as I thought it was very, very entertaining, as well as being nice and balanced with the action enclosed. You may be interested in FLCL/Furi Kuri; it's quite a random show, though I did think it was one of the funnier ones I've seen. I'll certainly be watching Mirai Nikki at some stage, looks quite good in many aspects. Another one you may like (and that I thought was quite good - despite the suddenly romantic scene, which didn't really fit the theme) is REDLINE. That's probably about it for now, heh. Doing quite well here, and the same goes for you; hope you're doing well! Wall of Text mode disengage!


 * Of course I've seen Railgun, it's an awesome show =). Thanks for the suggestions, I'll look into them and add them to my list! By the way, three things.
 * 1) Koi to Senkyo to Chocolate just started airing
 * 2) http://www.anime-planet.com/anime/studios/aic-build
 * 3) Need I say more?


 * Oh wow. How I've not found/loved that studio yet, I do not know. Thanks for linking it! :D Koi to Senkyo to Chocolate - straight onto my WtW list, no hesitation at all. Thanks for evev moar to watch. ^ᴗ^

Picture
i didnt know my pic went to the gallery i just wanted to send it privateley


 * To "send a pic privately" you'd have to upload it to an outside image host that's supported by the wiki. Some of those hosts are ImageShack, TinyPic, Picasa Web Albums (Hosted by Google), and a few others. My personal recommendation would be Picasa, as it's easier to link pictures from it, said images are organised in a much cleaner fashion, it has a very high storage allowance and also no bandwidth limit.

HEY DO U PLAY TERRARIA???IF THEN PLS HELP ME MY TERRARIA SERVER ID IS 5.183.121.98

Fardin017 05:07, July 7, 2012 (UTC)


 * First off, please don't type in all caps, as I prefer not to feel like I'm being yelled at. I do play, though I won't be able to join your server as it's a Hamachi one, and I don't know your group details. Feel free to join the Wiki Chat if you wish to discuss it further. :)

The question on the buttons on the main wiki?
I want to add to your wiki interesting buttons as you have. can tell how to create them on the main wiki?. that stand in the category. Thanks in advance. Dr.elisey 18:46, July 7, 2012 (UTC)

well could you please edit the mistake with the gallery then?


 * In what sense? I asked. how to do the same buttons as on the main menu of the wiki. terraria wiki? It is necessary for the other wiki. Dr.elisey 12:13, July 8, 2012 (UTC)

Weapons infobox refactoring proposal
Let me know what you think.
 * 1) I've noticed that, to use Excalibur infobox as an example, it says:  and  . Seems inconsistent to have the number come first on one, but second on the other. Could you change it so that it says   and   -- I think it makes most sense to always have the number come first.
 * 2) I'd like to change  to something like  . I feel that a tiny image (icon) next to the number would look cool. Also, changing the left column from "Base Damage" to just "Damage" would make it fit on a single line.
 * 3)  parameter could possibly evolve into something more descriptive. For example, instead of just "yes" or "no", maybe we could change the parameter to "Attack" and the descriptive values could be a list of any combination of...
 * 4) *"Continuous Attack" (hold down mouse button)
 * 5) *"Moonwalk" (walk backwards while swinging sword forward)
 * 6) *"Multiple Hits" (can hit multiple enemies with a single swing)
 * 7) *"Penetrates Target" (bullets pass through initial target and can hit enemies behind)
 * 8) *"Consumes Ammo" (requires ammunition to use)
 * 9) *"Consumes Mana" (requires mana to use)
