User talk:Gracey91/1

Friendly Hello
Hello. ^_^ I'm new to this wiki thing, I still don' knwo how it all works but....

I've been on terraria for a few weeks, and this is the most convenient site I've found (and due to your badges... You are probably a huge contributer)

Well anyway, I just wanted to thank you (since you are an admin) and whoever else puts this thing together. its helped me alot, and sustains my new addiction xD So far i've only gotten to the rock layer, I see some lava, btu thats as far as I've gotten. I have hermes boots, cloud in a bottle, and the first 4 NCPs all living up on ground level. One thing i wish it had was being able to transport between homes, instead of just one. it'd make it easier traveling between the surface and underground. Currently I put a house with a spawn point at the upper rock layer, so I don't have to travel through the dirt layer everytime I die (Which is happening less frequently.)

I think i just babbled. o.o

Anyway, thanks again. I'll stop talking now XD

Category Namechange Requests
Hey, I'd like to request renaming the category Speed to Speed-Boosting Items.

Also, sorry that I've been keeping you a bit busy lately. I'm just trying to be a good contributor to this wiki. :-)

Re: Add me on Steam
I recently tried to add you on Steam, but it said that "gracey_91" wasn't found. Are you sure that that's your Steam username?

By the way, if you wish to add me, my username is "ShadowWolfTJC" without the quotes.

Template
Hey, i was wondering, what's the actual template for tools, because they're all different on each tool and each tool page (ex:on copper pickaxe it's one, on molten pickaxe it's another one), if you could send me the most recent, i would be grateful. Leocruznt 09:18, August 28, 2011 (UTC)

RE:
Hi Gracey! Sorry for that :). I thought with the new design the templates could also do with one unified template. I've changed it back though. Which template should be used on item pages? Considering the name "Infobox Item" it seemed like the logical choice. Mark  ( talk ) 12:11, August 29, 2011 (UTC)
 * The Glee wiki uses this script to add a box to the bottom left. You can edit the code to suit your needs. Another option would be to use MediaWiki:Community-corner. Mark  ( talk ) 13:04, August 29, 2011 (UTC)
 * I think that will work perfectly. Thanks. Oh btw i forgot to say good job on the front page. :) Gracey91   ✉  13:23, August 29, 2011 (UTC)

Re: A Thought
Personally, I don't think that the Eater of Worlds needs a separate page for strategies on defeating it. In fact, I was considering giving the Eye of Cthulhu and Skeletron pages similar treatment later on.

Whereas the House Defense tips seemed to warrant its own separate page from Home, the Strategy section from the Eater of Worlds page seemed right at home there, given that many players would come to the page in search of ways to defeat it. (Besides, what is really the most common way to defeat this guy? Is the most common way also a very effective way of dealing with the Eater of Worlds, or is it just a very costly and difficult way?) That might just be my opinion though, so we'd better consult with the other members (especially the senior ones) on whether or not Eater of Worlds Strategies should be its own page or not.

Intimidating?! Pages this long and in-depth seem very normal in most of the more mature wikis (which often feature even longer pages than what I've seen here), though they also used table-of-contents templates (the ones that you normally see at the beginning of pages on Wikipedia articles) to help people navigate through likewise long pages. (There are other pages in this Wiki that are likewise long, such as Version History, the PvP Guide, House Defense, and Player-Made Structures to name a few, and they all used a table-of-contents template to help navigate their respective pages.)

Look, I don't mean any trouble or offense, but I think that anyone who runs a wiki (such as admins or the webmaster) should realize that, as any game (such as Terraria) grows in popularity, more and more people will want to visit wikis that support the game (such as this wiki here), many of whom may have high expectations as to the accuracy or the amount of detailed information present in any given article, or even how organized or easy-to-read the article is. If such information isn't present, or if the article looks sloppy, then they may be inclined to add that missing information themselves or clean the page up.

I was one such person, and I felt that, since the Eye of Cthulhu and the Eater of Worlds pages were lacking in vital information (specifically in terms of strategies on beating them), that I just HAD to add it in, and since they also seemed rather messy to read, that I just HAD to organize them better as well. (On the other hand, the wall of information presented in the Defense section of the older Home page seemed out-of-place, which was why I approached you earlier to talk about moving it to its own page.) You may have been another such person as well prior to becoming an admin here, right?

If you still think that the Strategy sections of those 2 pages are too long to be worth keeping them in, then go ahead and make a couple new pages with that information there. Unfortunately, regarding the need to place down ONLY 1 method of defeating the bosses, I don't know how we can do that when nobody has even agreed upon the single most effective way of defeating them. Instead, can't we just say that there are many methods of defeating this boss and just list an example or 2?

Someone vandalised your page.
Dante1243. Don't worry, I reverted it and won't hesitate to do it again. --Mocha2007 | Talk | Fun Fact: The capital of Illinois is Springfield. our eyes see in 24 bit color. This is randomly generated text. The most popular wikia site is  Tomatoes are fruit. 5, not 3, colors are needed to create all visible colors. Despite amazing ratings and reviews, the game M.U.L.E. Only sold several thousand copies. Fireworks were invented in china Fire is not an element, rather a chemical reaction. Get real, alchemists. In risk it is most likely that you will lose if you attach 4 units with 4 units. anything 8 bit has exactly 256 different values, none of which is 256. 2012 is NOT the end of the world. If you try to divide by zero, M.A.D. will occur. 00:42, August 31, 2011 (UTC)
