Admin
It was pointed out to me that I've been nominated to be an admin here on the Terraria Wiki. You said here to leave a message on your talk page if I was interested, so here I am. My goal is to help out this wiki as much as possible, and if we are short on admins right now, I'm willing to step up. Thanks.  Chrisf1020  (talk)  18:59, 14 February 2015 (UTC)
 * You have been promoted. — Game widow (talk) 14:11, 15 February 2015 (UTC)

Glowbomb12
Recently User:Glowbomb12 was promoted to administrator. Despite having only been on the wiki for a week, the wiki was shorthanded, and they seemed genuinely interested in contributing to the wiki, so I didn't make a recommendation to the contrary. Unfortunately, as their talk page indicates, they're not quite ready to make appropriate use of sysop status. I'm recommending that Glowbomb12 be returned to regular user status. Gearzein (talk) 23:04, 3 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Alright, but are you certain it's not just a learning curve ? If you're sure, then fine, I'll go with your reading of the situation. — Game widow (talk) 23:09, 3 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Part of me wants to say to give Glowbomb one more chance, but this is far from the first time I've said that. We need more admins on staff to help make policy and for oversight reasons, but having to look after one and review all their actions is causing more problems than solving them. An admin who learned how to use the regular undo edit function a day before they were appointed isn't ready, and I wish I had said something about it at first. Gearzein (talk) 23:59, 3 March 2015 (UTC)
 * I second this recommendation. The admin tools have been continually abused by this user, leading to, more often than not, additional issues that other admin including myself have to address.  Chrisf1020  (talk)  00:02, 4 March 2015 (UTC)
 * OK, you are the people who deal with the aftermath. I will take your word for it. — Game widow (talk) 00:41, 4 March 2015 (UTC)

Modules
Hello, what about including into Russian Terraria Wiki (and language sections) modules. i think it is very good idea. Alex Great talk 12:14, 16 June 2015 (UTC)
 * By the way, it was my idea :) More info: mw:Extension:Scribunto. &mdash; NickTheRed37 (talk) 12:16, 16 June 2015 (UTC)
 * I'm just the Curse liaison person, you'd have to discuss that with the wiki administrators Chrisf1020, Gearzein, Equazcion and KM100 — Game widow (talk) 12:53, 16 June 2015 (UTC)
 * OK you have scribunto on the Russian Terraria wiki — Game widow (talk) 13:17, 16 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks. — Agent NickTheRed37 (talk) 14:52, 16 June 2015 (UTC)

Syntaxes for modules
Hallo, please add this features to Russian section of Terraria Wiki: dowhile, dpl, dplchapter, dplmatrix, dplnum, dplreplace, dplvar, forargs, fornumargs, loop, pBars, pBubble, pLines, pPie, pRadar, pScatter, while, widget. Thanks ← Alex Great talk 09:44, 25 July 2015 (UTC)
 * We don't have / support most of those. We have DPL3, Loops and widgets from that list. I will see if the other extensions we have cover the ones not listed and get back to you — Game widow (talk) 22:17, 26 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Ok. I only have some of this syntaxes for fully automatical module of documentation. I take it from Minecraft Wiki and I approve it for Russian Wiki. But of course module have an error, because this syntaxes doesn't exist. If the syntaxes does not add, that I have enough with templates. Thanks for answer. ← Alex Great talk 05:48, 27 July 2015 (UTC)
 * This is the list of active extensions on minecraft wiki — Game widow (talk) 11:52, 27 July 2015 (UTC)
 * If you can select which ones on there you want, those i can give you easily. I did activate DPL3, Loops and widgets for you — Game widow (talk) 17:05, 27 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Ok, thanks. I continue to work with module. If module wants more syntaxes, I can talk to you. ← Alex Great talk 10:08, 28 July 2015 (UTC)

Curse rights
How can I become a Curse member? Some of the rights is very useful for administrators and bureaucrats. Maybe it is possible to transfer these rights? ← Alex Great talk 05:50, 27 July 2015 (UTC)
 * The Curse group and associated rights are reserved for Curse staff, so you can't unless you are hired by Curse. — Game widow (talk) 13:12, 27 July 2015 (UTC)
 * What about move some rights by Curse to bureaucrats or administrators: hideuser, mergehistory, reupload-own, suppressrevision, deletedhistory, deleterevision. For example mergehistory and deleterevision is very useful for all bureaucrats. Can you add this right or dub it for bureaucrats? 13:40, 27 July 2015 (UTC)
 * I'll vote for mergehistory as well, and actually I might suggest it be given to admins -- maybe reserve deleterevision for the bureaucrats. Merges happen pretty often and I would find the ability to merge histories very useful quite often. It seems benign enough for admins to have access to it. Equazcion  ( talk ) 14:12, 27 Jul 2015 (UTC)

Error 413 Request Entity Too Large
Recently, in the Russian section began some error. This is: Error 413 Request Entity Too Large Request Entity Too Large Guru Meditation: XID: 1042499671 Varnish cache server For example this error exist at this time. I don't know what is that. ← Alex Great talk 13:30, 27 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Which page? without knowing that, i can't really track much down — Game widow (talk) 14:15, 27 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Since i've not heard back from you, i took a guess and assumed the problem you are having is with ru:Рецепты. Because the page is so large, it is very difficult to open. For now, our platform team managed to split that page into 3: ru:Рецепты, ru:Рецепты2 and ru:Рецепты3. Please try doing what was done here on the Recipes page. Then you can reassemble them into a single page (if necessary). Otherwise, consider converting it into more than one page — Game widow (talk) 18:57, 27 July 2015 (UTC)
 * This error get when edit any page. This error very rare, and sometimes I edit page, and get it when want to preview or save edit. Maybe it is server error. Maybe Recipes crash server, bacause many users can know how to craft item, I don't know. I think better way with Recipes is collapsing all recipes like english page. ← Alex Great talk 10:06, 28 July 2015 (UTC)
 * I agree. So please do reformat that page like the english one — Game widow (talk) 12:04, 28 July 2015 (UTC)
 * I alredy recostructed ru:Рецепты. Now it has become much faster to load. I hope the error no longer appears. ← Alex Great talk 12:51, 28 July 2015 (UTC)

Namespace shortcuts
Hello, can you add at Russian Wiki (and of course in English if it needed) system of shortcuts for namespaces like Wikipedia:Shortcut. I think it's useful feature. I don't know how it called maybe "Pseudo-namespace". I mean this:
 * Template: → T:
 * Terraria Wiki: → TW:
 * User: → U:

Same function used in Wikipedia. But for Russian Terraria Wiki I want to add russian variants: ← Alex Great talk 06:05, 3 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Участник: (User:) → У:
 * Обсуждение участника: (User talk:) → ОУ:
 * Terraria Wiki: → ТВ: or TW:
 * Шаблон: (Template:) → Ш:
 * Категория: (Category:) → К:

Guide namespace
I see that English Wiki have special namespace for Guides. Very good. What if you add same namespace for Russian wiki? But in Russian of course :) More of our guides exist at Article namespace, if English have special namespace we want it too. Thanks. ← Alex Great talk 06:05, 3 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Guide = Руководство (Р: if shortcut)
 * Guide talk = Обсуждение руководства
 * At the moment, i cannot add namespaces with Cyrillic characters, but there will be an upgrade to our system later this week which should permit it. — Game widow (talk) 13:26, 3 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Good news! I should be able to give you the Руководство namespace today. I'll start with that, then we can look into shortcuts — Game widow (talk) 14:25, 24 August 2015 (UTC)
 * This is realy good news. ← Alex Great talk 14:44, 24 August 2015 (UTC)
 * I meant to let you know earlier, but the namespace is there now. Let me know if it is spelled correctly (it should be, i copied and pasted the text, but just in case), also, when a new namespace is created, the talk namespace is automatically created, so in english that will appear as "Руководство talk", but in Russian, i'm not sure what you'll see — Game widow (talk) 20:30, 24 August 2015 (UTC)

Zh-cn interwiki for French
At the French wiki wrong website for zh-cn interwiki. Interwiki goes to Example.com. ← Alex Great talk 13:28, 4 August 2015 (UTC)

Special:Editcount
I like this Special page. Can you add it to Russian Wiki? ← Alex Great talk 10:42, 12 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Added — Game widow (talk) 13:01, 12 August 2015 (UTC)

Extension:MyVariables
What about this (Ru wiki)? ← Alex Great talk 15:15, 12 August 2015 (UTC)
 * OK — Game widow (talk) 15:21, 12 August 2015 (UTC)

Gadgets
Please add in Russian Wiki UTC Clock, IP Info, Edit Intro Section, Purge Link and HotCat. All of this gadgets used in English Wiki (Preferences->Gadgets) and we want it too. Thanks a lot. ← Alex Great talk 08:33, 13 August 2015 (UTC)
 * I know that I can export gadgets and merge it by myself. But I can't see Gadget section at Preferences in Russian Wiki. Maybe this is an extension? Do you add this extension if it is? ← Alex Great talk 08:40, 13 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Yes, it's an extension Game widow enabled at English Terraria Wiki recently: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Gadgets Equazcion  ( talk ) 08:50, 13 Aug 2015 (UTC)
 * Ok, I hope that Game widow can enable it at Russian section too. ← Alex Great talk 09:04, 13 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Do you think you could make one decision about all the extensions you want, Alex? This one, by one, by one request style is getting to be a pain. Gadgets are active — Game widow (talk) 13:02, 13 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Well, I'm sorry. I have to add a new section that you react as quickly as possible. If I write everything in one section, you delete it (for care), or did not answer, as it was above. I understand you are very busy (hundreds of wiki to work). But, for example, many important questions still unresolved. For example, you do not correct the mistake of the Chinese (zhcn) interwiki in the French wiki. You do not have added support for the Korean language in Portuguese and Chinese (zhtw) wiki (including sidebar language section support). ← Alex Great talk 10:04, 14 August 2015 (UTC)

If you can, put more extensions into Russian Wiki: SyntaxHighlight, ImageMap, Javascript Slideshow and LabeledSectionTransclusion. And what about Guide namespace? Thanks. ← Alex Great talk 10:04, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
 * The extensions have been added. As for the namespace, our platform team is still working on making it possible to use Cyrillic, so if you can wait a bit more you can have the namespaces and shortcuts using the Cyrillic. For the record, i've never deleted any section you added — Game widow (talk) 12:38, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Deleted. ← Alex Great talk 04:34, 15 August 2015 (UTC)
 * That's a glitch that happens sometimes on MediaWiki. It undoes the last edit when making anew edit. I think it has something to do with an attempt to automatically merge edits during an edit conflict. I'm pretty sure Game Widow didn't intend to delete anything there. Equazcion  ( talk ) 04:39, 15 Aug 2015 (UTC)
 * I also do not think our Wiki Manager is malicious intruder. :) ← Alex Great talk 04:49, 15 August 2015 (UTC)

Special:RevisionDelete
Hello. I want to delete one edit on page, how can I do it? I don't know, but Special:RevisionDelete used for it, and I don't know how to use it. ← Alex Great talk 12:25, 23 August 2015 (UTC)
 * For me to test this properly, i'd need to know which deletion exactly you are try get rid of. It's possible that you just don't have those rights. We don't normally give those out as they allow people to try to mask inappropriate behaviour. — Game widow (talk) 13:58, 23 August 2015 (UTC)
 * I am a Bureaucrat of Russian section. And I thought that we have these rights. Now I looked at ListGroupRights and we do not have these rights. I see that this right have only Curse. I wanted to remove vandal edit containing banned dirty words. ← Alex Great talk 05:55, 24 August 2015 (UTC)
 * I would be happy to delete it for you, if you just let me know which one to delete — Game widow (talk) 13:12, 24 August 2015 (UTC)
 * OK. This edit. This IP have two abuse edits at that page, I block him IP-range at one month. I hope that he will cease to commit vandalism acts. I also protect this page in one week. ← Alex Great talk 14:44, 24 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Both edits by that IP address are now hidden from everyone except administrators. If you also do not want to see them, i can hide them from you as well — Game widow (talk) 20:29, 24 August 2015 (UTC)
