Terraria Wiki:Admin noticeboard

__NEWSECTIONLINK__ The Admin noticeboard is one way through which users can notify administrators of issues needing administrative attention. While users are welcome to directly contact specific administrators (especially if they are seen to be active), posting here can be an easier and quicker way of ensuring that at least one admin will notice an issue and respond to it promptly. Remember to sign when posting an issue.

Before posting an issue here, consider the following:
 * As this is a noticeboard and not a talk page, please refrain from discussing.
 * Post only issues that require administrative action, i.e. blocking vandals, protecting pages, restoring deleted pages etc.
 * Do not post deletion requests here. Deletion requests should be made by adding  to the top of the target page, which will then automatically mark the page as a candidate for deletion.
 * Do not post issues regarding content disputes. Try making a request for comments instead.
 * Mediation requests between users should only be made if a resolution could not be reached between users.
 * For technical issues that admins can't handle, please see the Curse noticeboard.

In case of vandalism, posting about it here is low priority. Revert it first, anyone can do so. If the vandal created a new page, tag it for deletion. Assume good faith and consider leaving a message on that user's talk page to explain the reason. Post here only if the user has made several disruptive edits and/or persists despite a warning. Always avoid a revert war with the vandal; it is far better to wait until an admin has a chance to intervene.

As a sign of courtesy, also leave a message on the talk page of any involved user.
 * Creating a new request &mdash; vandals
 * 1) Edit the Vandal issues section
 * 2) At the top of the list, use the   template. Provide a short and neutral summary of the issue
 * Creating a new request &mdash; non-vandal cases (e.g. user issues, page protection/undeletion, etc.)
 * 1) Add [ a new section (+)] to the page and enter an appropriate title (without using templates or links) in the subject field.
 * 2) In the edit field, enter a short and neutral summary of the issue. Use the   template to refer to users involved with the case and provide links to important pages or edits.

Vandal issues
The stats for the Jungle Armor Defense Item has had a long diatribe on various aspects of the Finnish language inserted within the text.

Spelling mistake on main page in "The Game" section
I cannot make the correction for understandable reasons. The last sentence in "The Game" window on the main page spells "coming" incorrectly. If any administrator is available, please make the change. Thanks! Yardwork88 (talk) 01:02, 25 April 2013 (UTC)

This wiki site may have Trojan/Malware-downloading scripts embedded in an Ad
I closed certain pages from the Console-Only list (with a few related pages) and another tab popped up in my Chrome browser for a moment and automatically started downloading "FlashPlayer__2114_i20422763_il42840.exe". I managed to catch and cancel the download before it finished, but I don't think we want that sort of thing here. The site it links to is (See history for unbroken link.) "http://bs-self.s3.amazon***.com/1.1.1.72/Launcher.exe?response-content-disposition=attachment%3B%20filename%3D%22FlashPlayer__2114_i20422763_il42840.exe%22&AWSAccessKeyId=AKIAIVXZLUYTJZ52OS6Q&Expires=1369459486&Signature=VLtO0isUyiFS6R86J%2B7f%2F4Z6H0M%3D" This is an automatically downloading, probable Malware/Trojan website!!! I have removed the hyperlink, because NO ONE should follow the address.

Unfortunately, I don't know how to track down this issue, or I would. I hope this information helps find it.

I'm unsure as to which of the following pages may have contained the script, but these were all the pages I opened near the time the unauthorized download began: Sharanga, Vulcan Repeater, Soul of Blight, Ocram, Cabbage, Brain, Tiphia, Honeycomb, Guinea Pig, Pet Zombie, Wolf Fang, Petri Dish, Bat, Vial of Blood, Pet Bat, Pet Slime, Dragon Skull, Arch Demon, Albino Antlion, Arch Wyvern, Sandgun, Illegal Gun Parts, Shadow Slime, Vampire Miner, Spectral Mummy, Dragon Hornet, Dragon Snatcher, Shadow Hammer, Spectral Elemental.

But, upon going through this list again, the issue did not repeat itself, which leads me to believe the script may be embedded in an ad--which doesn't help much in finding it, because I don't pay attention to the ads. =/

 * I'm not aware of any scripts on this site and as far as I know you can't even add scripts to pages (for obvious security reasons). So most likely the script was indeed embedded in an ad, in which case the ad company has to do something about it and there is nothing we can do. --0icke0 (talk) 10:31, 25 May 2013 (UTC)
