Blood Moon
Hi ferretwings! Was just wonder what was going on with what you brought up about my edit. I was going through the edit history of the page blood moon when I saw an anonymous user has deleted so called "religious nonsense". I simply copied the deleted content, pasted it back in and saved the page. I saw the notification, and I'm confused on what I did wrong. Please respond back soon. -KittenLover33 KittenLover33 (talk) 02:27, 21 March 2016 (UTC)


 * Revision as of 05:36, 8 March 2016 by User:Gearzein where he did some cleaning up and re-worded it. —Ferretwings (talk) 02:59, 21 March 2016 (UTC)


 * Generally speaking, it's a bad idea to go through history and correct edits like this. Vandalism remains in a page's history into perpetuity, even after it's been reverted. As in this case, these problems are often resolved shortly after that point, and attempting to fix them can cause these conflicts with the current version of a page. Gearzein (talk) 04:34, 21 March 2016 (UTC)

Thanks guys! I'll delete this conversation now that his is settled. Thanks. KittenLover33 (talk) 02:31, 1 April 2016 (UTC)

Admin?
I'd like to make you an admin. Under ideal circumstances I might like to wait until someone has a higher edit count before promoting them, but I think we could really use another admin now. I'm not here as much as I'd like to be anymore, and others seem to also be here only sporadically. From where I'm standing, you have good language skills, firm grasp of the game, good wiki instincts, and you spend a lot of time here. So, let me know if you're interested and/or if you have questions (via a reply here). Equazcion ( talk ) 04:52, 1 Apr 2016 (UTC)
 * Yes, I would be interested. – Ferretwings (talk) 05:13, 1 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Alrighty, done. Let me know if you have any questions about your new tools, enforcing rules, etc. Good luck :) Equazcion  ( talk ) 05:29, 1 Apr 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks! I've got a couple of projects going on right now... if I have any questions, I'll definitely ask. I love lists (tables), and am creating some lists for myself, and will learn how to make templates probably tomorrow.
 * I do have one question, if I create sub-pages for myself, will the edits appear with the Recent Changes? And is there a way to stop the Sandbox edits from appearing with the Recent Changes? – Ferretwings (talk) 05:50, 1 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately there's no way to stop userspace edits from appearing in recent changes, but you shouldn't really worry about that. "Cluttering up" recent changes isn't really much of a problem. You could cause maybe a minor inconvenience if you made hundreds of edits but still, no major issue with that. Equazcion  ( talk ) 06:01, 1 Apr 2016 (UTC)
 * I just blocked a user for making erroneous and mis-leading edits, but I'm wondering now if he was editing for the Mobile platform. I'll go through his edits and see if that's the case. --Ferretwings (talk) 12:42, 6 April 2016 (UTC)
 * An editor got me thinking... We've described some weapons as post-Golem and post-Plantera. Should we continue the pattern with other bosses? For example, the Phantasm uses Vortex Fragments, which can only be obtained once the Vortex Pillar is defeated (or the other pillars). Would that make the Phantasm post-Cultist? --Ferretwings (talk) 02:35, 15 April 2016 (UTC)

Megashark reverted undo
May I ask why you undid your undo of the edit on the Megashark from 142.167.249.243? From what I see your reasoning was sound. Flisch42 (talk) 21:49, 14 April 2016 (UTC)
 * After I undid the edit, I had a flashback to about a year ago, when I spent many coins modifying all my weapons and accessories, not realizing that the modifications would be lost once I crafted them into something better. Ferretwings (talk) 01:43, 15 April 2016 (UTC)
 * That is reasonable but that would mean we have to add this to all weapons and accessories which can be crafted into something else and than I find this a bit redundant. Flisch42 (talk) 08:08, 15 April 2016 (UTC)
 * You do have a point. I thought of adding it to the weapons (I believe there are 9), that are used to craft more powerful weapons. I'll need to think about this for a while. For now, I'll just add it the the Reforge page, to let players know that modifications are lost when the item is used in crafting. --Ferretwings (talk) 15:46, 15 April 2016 (UTC)

Housing Menu
Hi, I noticed that Housing Menu redirects to Inventory but there is no information about it on this page. All the info are on the House page. Does "Housing Menu" should directly redirects to "House" instead or the content of it have to be moved to "Inventory" ? --  Dinoxel  discussion  00:59, 29 April 2016 (UTC)
 * At some point, the content was moved from the Inventory page to the House page. It makes more sense on the House page, I think. I went through and removed all the recursive links to House. Good catch. --Ferretwings (talk) 04:03, 29 April 2016 (UTC)
 * That's perfect now ! ;) --  Dinoxel  discussion  12:52, 29 April 2016 (UTC)

admin
I'd like to make you an admin,my contributions in Brazil of the Portuguese in minecraft wiki are good and want to be in administrator to terraria in Portuguese,it is too late. Eduaddad (talk) 15:08, 30 April 2016 (UTC)

Asking about Projectile IDs page
This is fairly random and I'm not sure whether you'd be the best one to ask about it, but you seem active on here so I'm asking, I want to do some maintenance on the Projectile IDs page (not necessarily the most important of pages but I find all the ID stuff interesting and the pages are somewhat under-maintained), and I was wondering if you'd think it would be a good idea to reorganize the main table to somehow incorporate a "source" of each projectile to allow for including an actual image of the projectile itself (examples where it isn't the case being Frost Shard from the Ice Queen, for example). A lot of images are missing so for a lot of projectiles it isn't exactly clear what it is (for example, IDs 486-489 are all named "Hook" with no link and no image so it pretty much means nothing to anyone who might be using the page for modding or whatnot). I can navigate the source code so I can upload the images and find the information but basically I was wondering if something like IMAGE | NAME | SOURCE | ID would be a feasible set of header columns for the page, if they were filled in down the table with the relevant information. Thanks, Echofire (talk) 02:43, 9 May 2016 (UTC)

Edit: Upon going back and reading this again I realized I never really actually explained what I meant by "source"... It's supposed to be what NPC, item, or block the projectile comes from, for example the Frost Shard's source would be the Ice Queen, Wooden Arrow's source would be all Bows/Repeaters (or the Wooden Arrow item itself, I suppose) and the Guide, and so on. With this system the name of the projectile wouldn't need to be a link (unless it has its own dedicated page, though most don't) because the source of the projectile could be a link instead, and the image could be an image of the actual projectile as it appears in the game rather than occasionally an image of the source entity or no image at all. Echofire (talk) 03:26, 9 May 2016 (UTC)


 * It sounds like a good idea to me. Make the proposal on the Community Noticeboard, to allow admins to comment on the idea. Perhaps include a short table as a demonstration. I would keep the projectile id column next to the projectile. If you don't get a response within a couple of days, I'd drop a note on User Talk:Gearzein and User Talk:Equazcion pages and ask them to take a look at your proposal.

Adding a French link
Hey, could you add Robe de Gypsy on the Gypsy Robe page ? --  Dinoxel  discussion  10:48, 28 May 2016 (UTC)
 * I see you have already done it :) &emsp;&mdash;Ferretwings (talk) 15:19, 28 May 2016 (UTC) ... or perhaps I misunderstand
 * Thanks ! But what do you mean ? --  Dinoxel  discussion  15:52, 28 May 2016 (UTC)
 * I mis-read your request, and thought you wanted the Gypsy Robe image on the French wiki. And then I saw you had already uploaded the image. Then I came back and re-read your request, and understood. I think I need some coffee. :) &ensp;&mdash;Ferretwings (talk) 16:13, 28 May 2016 (UTC)

Delete my Page?
Excuse me for a moment, I was creating a gif and put it in this wiki, but when I saw the thumbnail of the file, It says "Error creating thumbnail: gm convert: Corrupt image (/media/hydra-media/terraria.gamepedia.com/8/8e/Ezgif.com-gif-maker.gif)". Is there something wrong with my gif? If there is, can you delete it? I think I just made an mistake and do some random stuffs. Here is the file. http://terraria.gamepedia.com/File:Ezgif.com-gif-maker.gif. Thanks! :D. --IosKent (talk) 05:06, 3 June 2016 (UTC)
 * It is normal that no thumbnails are created for large .gifs. You can just use the image like you normally would. --0icke0 (talk) 08:40, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

Ok thanks. :D --IosKent (talk) 13:11, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

Is It Appropriate?
I was wondering, is my User Page is appropriate? Thanks.. --IosKent (talk) 07:59, 5 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Yes, it's fine, lol! Users can do whatever they want with their own pages. And it was very sweet what you said about the admins here. We try to be fair. Several of our editors are really good at editing, some editors are good at looking stuff up in the compiled version of Terraria, and one editor... well, half his work is really good. What we really need now are more Mobile and Console users to help edit, that's why I reached out to you. I do appreciate the help you give. :) &emsp;&mdash;Ferretwings (talk) 13:27, 5 June 2016 (UTC)

Thanks, you can ask me whenever you want. Because I am active everyday. You can ask me what is the recipes, tips, notes, etc..

Also, I saw an IP Address vandalizing on the page Lucky Horseshoe. Can you please block him. Its name is 24.248.204.129. Thanks --IosKent (talk) 13:35, 5 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Most vandals are "hit and run"... they change a few words on a single page, and then we never hear from them again. I don't bother blocking them, I just revert their edits. The vandals I'm most concerned about are the ones that delete whole blocks of information (like recipes). Also, the vandals that vandalize more than just one page. I'm going through the list of recent edits now, looking for vandals. --Ferretwings (talk) 13:56, 5 June 2016 (UTC)

Oh, Ok. Thanks for telling me that. Now I know minor vandals doesn't need to be block, but the major vandals needs to be block. Thanks Ferretwings --IosKent (talk) 14:00, 5 June 2016 (UTC)

Amber Can Be Found in Underground
The page you edited, called Amber, right? For the mobile, amber can actually be found in underground and cavern layer. --IosKent (talk) 11:48, 13 June 2016 (UTC)--
 * Can you provide a screenshot? In "real life," Amber isn't mined, it come from tree resin. --Ferretwings (talk) 14:00, 13 June 2016 (UTC)

Added discussion
I'm testing this right now.

=Will Chaos State last longer on mobile?=

I am testing this right now. Sorry for the previous glitched disscussion, i forgot the title and it was thought of as "harmful" when I tried to fix the title. EDIT: It is found to be true. I tested it.
 * Exactly how long does it last in Mobile? -- Ferretwings (talk) 03:08, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
 * I just tested it again, it lasts 9 seconds on Mobile, 6 on PC (I think, I'm not too good at counting seconds but I'm almost completely sure it's 9 on mobile) Squeaker340 (talk) 21:55, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Ok, it lasts about 7 seconds on PC, 10 on mobile. I'm still not exactly sure though. I DO know that it lasts 3 seconds longer on Mobile than on PC. Squeaker340 (talk) 21:55, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
