Terraria Wiki namespace issue
Yo, looks sort of like the permission issue caught someone's attention upstairs, but unfortunately the admin board and others are still off-limits for editing by general users. --Gearzein (talk) 19:30, 5 November 2014 (UTC)
 * I just got an email saying they're still working on it. FYI This thing started because I originally emailed them about being unable to protect Terraria Wiki pages, and the current state appears to be temporary while the developers attempt to fix that. It turns out this is an issue affecting all Gamepedia wikis (including Minecraft Wiki), so I think they're devoting a fair amount of attention to it. I'll contact them again if this keeps up but for now people can post here regarding any admin issues.  Equazcion ( talk ) 19:39, 5 Nov 2014 (UTC)

Background
Any change that you still have the old background saved somewhere? It seems the translation wikis relied on that image for the background and are now without a background. --0icke0 (talk) 17:38, 9 November 2014 (UTC)
 * I changed the background by editing MediaWiki:Hydra.css. The old body background value can be seen here: http://hydra-media.cursecdn.com/terrraria.gamepedia.com/3/3a/Bg.png. I didn't remove or change any existing image files -- and I believe each language wiki has their own Hydra.css, so I don't think my change should've affected those. If you could link me to a wiki that seems to be affected I can take a look.  Equazcion ( talk ) 17:52, 9 Nov 2014 (UTC)
 * Going directly to that old URL doesn't seem to work. I'm not sure if it ever did though -- we had a simple background color here, rather than an image. The other wikis appear to have that same color there now, as we did here.  Equazcion ( talk ) 17:55, 9 Nov 2014 (UTC)

Scribunto
The extension should now be live on this wiki — Game widow (talk) 15:19, 13 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Great, thanks!  Equazcion ( talk ) 18:15, 13 Nov 2014 (UTC)

RE: Unexpained Revert
The reason was that when I veiwed the changes it appeared that much had been deleted. After spending more time I realise you have just reorganized it. I am deeply sorry and hope you can forgive me. I have put your edits back and beleive that you have reorganized it well. Cooly9
 * Ah I see. No harm done, thanks :)  Equazcion ( talk ) 20:14, 13 Nov 2014 (UTC)

Can you replace me ?
Hey, have some words to replace in the French wiki, and I don't know where I can put them so I'll place them right here : -- Dinoxel (talk) 01:06, 29 November 2014 (UTC)
 * - "Histoire/History" by "Historique"
 * - "placed" by "placé"
 * Here is fine. All done :)  Equazcion ( talk ) 01:39, 29 Nov 2014 (UTC)
 * Thank you ! I will put them here when I will get them. -- Dinoxel (talk) 12:32, 29 November 2014 (UTC)
 * - "Crafting" by "Artisanat"
 * - "Recipe" by "Recette"
 * Done  Equazcion ( talk ) 05:39, 1 Dec 2014 (UTC)
 * - "Colporteur" by "Marchand Itinérant"
 * - "Pixie" by "Fée"
 * - On the page Bannières (Banners in English), can it be possible to replace the word "Banner" by "Bannière de" ? Thank you in advance ! --Dinoxel (talk) 00:18, 7 December 2014 (UTC)
 * I don't think I can do the banner replacement in any automated way, if "Bannière de" needs to go before the banner name. Currently doing the others though.  Equazcion ( talk ) 01:18, 7 Dec 2014 (UTC)
 * Thank you ! Forget it for the banners. I'll do it. :)
 * - Have a new : "Gastropod" by "Gastéropode" / "Gastropods" by "Gastéropodes" --Dinoxel (talk) 12:51, 7 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Done  Equazcion ( talk ) 13:26, 7 Dec 2014 (UTC)
 * New Word in da House ! -"Shiny Red Balloon" by "Ballon Rouge Scintillant" ! (Thanks for your help ! :D) --Dinoxel (talk) 21:41, 7 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Your old replace, "Marchand Itinérant", failed. Look at here. --Dinoxel (talk) 22:17, 7 December 2014 (UTC)
 * First one is in progress. I don't remember "Marchand Itinérant" -- let me know what that was supposed to replace.  Equazcion ( talk ) 00:28, 10 Dec 2014 (UTC)
 * It was supposed to be "Marchand Itinérant" instead of "Colporteur" (Marchand Itinérant is the good name) --Dinoxel (talk) 19:51, 10 December 2014 (UTC)
 * So shall I replace all "Colporteur" with "Marchand Itinérant" on all pages now?  Equazcion ( talk ) 19:55, 10 Dec 2014 (UTC)
 * Finally it's good about that. Your bot worked as the perfection. --Dinoxel (talk) 20:51, 10 December 2014 (UTC)
 * I found a lot of words for you: "Music Box" by "Boîte à Musique", "True Excalibur" by "Excalibur Véritable", "Night's Edge" by "Lisière de la Nuit", "Illegal Gun Parts" by "Morceaux Illégaux de Pistolet", "Spectre Boots" by "Bottes de Spectre", "Hellstone" by "Pierre de l'Enfer", "Potion du hibou de nuit" by "Potion de vision nocturne", "Depth Meter" by "Altimètre", "La purification" by "La Purification", "Accessories" by "Accessoires", "Montre de cuivre" by "Montre en Cuivre", "Montre d'argent" by "Montre en Argent", and "Montre d'or" by "Montre en Or". Thank you in advance ! :) -- Dinoxel  discussion  22:53, 12 December 2014 (UTC)
 * I have "Lightning Boots" by "Bottes d'Éclair" too. --  Dinoxel  discussion  07:14, 15 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Done. Diggin' the new signature by the way :)  Equazcion ( talk ) 14:13, 15 Dec 2014 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much ! And thank you ! Your signature doesn't work (at least in my case). I'm seeing that  Equazcion instead of Century Gothic. --  Dinoxel   discussion  16:46, 15 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Yeah it doesn't show up correctly on some browsers. Maybe Century Gothic isn't installed or something... I haven't had the inclination to really investigate.  Equazcion ( talk ) 17:00, 15 Dec 2014 (UTC)
 * PS. I think your signature has the same issue: It doesn't show up correctly for anyone who doesn't have the Andy font installed on their computers.  Equazcion ( talk ) 21:39, 15 Dec 2014 (UTC)
 * I agree. And yes it wasn't, so I installed it and now your signature appears less serious! :D --  Dinoxel  discussion  22:48, 15 December 2014 (UTC)

Why did you remove my tip on Turkor The Ungrateful? (I used to be The Know It All)
I would be happy if you could add back my tip. Coolcam6578 (talk) 20:27, 4 December 2014 (UTC)
 * It took some digging to find what you were talking about (this). I don't think I removed your tip, but I probably did cut it down some. It's understood that bosses are generally challenging and that players will want to equip the possible gear. I left a shorter tip in at Turkor to note that since it's expensive to re-summon, players may want to take extra care in determining when they're ready for the fight. Someone seems to have changed it since then to say that Turkor is actually not that challenging... that part I wouldn't know firsthand since I don't have the mobile version.  Equazcion ( talk ) 20:36, 4 Dec 2014 (UTC)


 * Can you revert it? Coolcam6578 (talk) 20:37, 10 December 2014 (UTC)Coolcam6578

Why pages of the French wiki loads slower than that of the English wiki ?
I don't understand why the French wiki take a lot of time to load big pages. Example : Banners and Bannières. 1/3 time the French page crash : "Error - A problem occurred while trying to load the page" Would you know where it comes from? --Dinoxel (talk) 19:01, 7 December 2014 (UTC)
 * This is just a guess but I think it's because French wiki doesn't have the images yet. It might go looking for them when you load the page. <font face="Century Gothic"> Equazcion ( talk ) 19:05, 7 Dec 2014 (UTC)
 * Ok I see, thanks. Have an other thing, I can't edit this page Enclume en Fer probably because it is too huge. But it's annoying =/ Any suggestions? --Dinoxel (talk) 21:41, 7 December 2014 (UTC)
 * I think an edit might work if you removed a big chunk of the page. I'd try moving the entire list of recipes into a template. See if the page will save with the list removed, and a template with all that stuff in its place. <font face="Century Gothic"> Equazcion ( talk ) 22:47, 7 Dec 2014 (UTC)
 * This Recipe of the iron anvil exists too. But I can't edit too (I mean when I press "Save page", the page crash and my edits too). --Dinoxel (talk) 23:53, 7 December 2014 (UTC)
 * I attempted a fix on the recipe page, but can't seem to get it to work. It's currently incomplete -- I attempted to split it into 4 smaller transcluded pages. I've emailed the Curse staff about this issue and I'll report back when I hear something. <font face="Century Gothic"> Equazcion ( talk ) 01:20, 8 Dec 2014 (UTC)
 * Ok, thank you Equa! But please don't import missing images, the are just misspelled. The base name of every images is on IDs Item IDs (fr). I didn't finish to translate (and 0icke0 to export them), I have to finish faster the eighth and the nineth.
 * I was just uploading images to try and get the recipe page working. My theory was that the pages are glitching due to missing images. Unused images become listed in a special category and are easy enough to delete later on, so don't worry about images existing under the wrong names. Once you have the right image names in the articles, I can make a run through and delete all the unused duplicates. <font face="Century Gothic"> Equazcion ( talk ) 10:07, 8 Dec 2014 (UTC)
 * This may be caused by using this template in the crafts template. As a result, for every item in the recipe list it needs to be checked against about 75 possible names, which results in a huge amount of checks for such large pages. As a result (taking into account that mediawiki isn't all that fast with such things) it could very well cause the long loading times. So you may want to try and remove that template. --0icke0 (talk) 14:16, 8 December 2014 (UTC)
 * I'd say that's a good bet. I'm not sure I understand the purpose of that template though so I'm not messing with it myself yet. The Curse people emailed me this morning saying they're looking into the issue and are examining the nested templates. I'll probably check myself later today when I have more time to dig into it. <font face="Century Gothic"> Equazcion ( talk ) 15:04, 8 Dec 2014 (UTC)

Following Icke's suggestion, I took a look at those templates. It appears that fr:Modèle:Linked icon is the offending template. It currently uses fr:Modèle:Item link redirect to produce links. At the English wiki, we basically retired that template a while ago due to performance issues. At the French wiki, from what I can gather, the template is still used -- but for a sort-of good reason: It allows links to English article names to redirect to their French names (so if you copied an article from English wiki to French, links to articles that exist at French wiki will automatically work, without having to change the links to their French versions). I created fr:Modèle:Linked icon/sandbox, which you can use to replace fr:Modèle:Linked icon. This will likely improve performance, but it will also disable that auto-translate feature, and any English links in a recipe template will become red (edit: nothing would become red -- the 'linked icon' template just links bare images; the text links with images beside them are handled by fr:Modèle:Item link, which already doesn't have this feature). Personally I think French wiki is mature enough to disable the feature safely, but I'll leave that up to you. <font face="Century Gothic"> Equazcion ( talk ) 19:54, 8 Dec 2014 (UTC)

PS. Curse may still contact me about their investigation into the recipe templates and any other performance issues they might uncover, in case you want to wait a bit for that before trying something on your own. <font face="Century Gothic"> Equazcion ( talk ) 19:56, 8 Dec 2014 (UTC)

PPS. Some more info: fr:Modèle:Item link (which produces most links within article) already does not use fr:Modèle:Item link redirect (meaning your 'item link' template does not have the auto-translate feature) and things seem to be working out with it. This is just some further 'proof' that the feature can probably be disabled safely at fr:Modèle:Linked icon as well. <font face="Century Gothic"> Equazcion ( talk ) 20:00, 8 Dec 2014 (UTC)

PPPS. Upon looking a little closer I'm seeing that fr:Modèle:Item link redirect actually doesn't contain all that many translations. For the vast majority of links, it's producing a default link as-typed. I would say that you can definitely go ahead and replace fr:Modèle:Linked icon with fr:Modèle:Linked icon/sandbox. <font face="Century Gothic"> Equazcion ( talk ) 20:07, 8 Dec 2014 (UTC)

Wow. Thank you very much for your help. Hum, you disturbed me with your Post-Scriptum =/ I don't understand much about programming, and I still have trouble in English (a little). But I quickly understand, so could you please tell me again what I have to do ? :X --Dinoxel (talk) 19:51, 10 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Just replace the contents of fr:Modèle:Linked icon with the contents of fr:Modèle:Linked icon/sandbox. I'd do it myself but it's protected, and it looks like my admin rights don't extend to the French wiki. <font face="Century Gothic"> Equazcion ( talk ) 19:54, 10 Dec 2014 (UTC)
 * Okay, I'll do it now. It's normal for your admin rights, the French wiki is a full-fledged wiki not an "expansion" like the German. --Dinoxel (talk) 20:53, 10 December 2014 (UTC)

Do I have to do anything here ? --Dinoxel (talk) 22:18, 10 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Not really, but you can replace its contents with to disable it entirely, just to be safe. We did that here at the English wiki. <font face="Century Gothic"> Equazcion  ( talk ) 22:24, 10 Dec 2014 (UTC)
 * Evin if it's write "This template is used in A LOT of pages. Please do not modify it without prior discussion. Please do not "update" it before the corresponding page redirects have been discussed, done, and confirmed." ? =/ --Dinoxel (talk) 09:27, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Do you know what "Wiki Guardian" mean on my profile ? --Dinoxel (talk) 09:29, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes, you should be careful when you edit a template that's used on a lot of pages. You've discussed it with me, but if there are others you can discuss it with also, go ahead. Doesn't hurt to be careful. The edit I suggested would basically just disable the template's feature though. We made that same edit on this wiki: Item link redirect. You don't have to do it though, since the edit you made to fr:Modèle:Linked icon pretty much got rid of it already. WikiGuardian means you're a step above admin. You have a couple of extra rights at the French wiki. I don't remember exactly what they are but from what I do remember you probably won't need them. You can email wiki@curse.com if you want to ask. <font face="Century Gothic"> Equazcion ( talk ) 13:00, 11 Dec 2014 (UTC)
 * Ok, thank you. (I do not know what to answer you !) --Dinoxel (talk) 18:47, 11 December 2014 (UTC)

Note
Sorry I thought the website was glitching and the submit ion wasn't submitting.
 * No problem :) <font face="Century Gothic"> Equazcion ( talk ) 19:19, 7 Dec 2014 (UTC)

Deleting Anomaly and Bug pages?
In the recent changes, I see that you effectively removed every bug and anomaly template. Any specific reason? --JosephChor (talk) 20:21, 7 December 2014 (UTC)
 * See this discussion for an explanation. <font face="Century Gothic"> Equazcion ( talk ) 20:23, 7 Dec 2014 (UTC)
 * Since I'm about to go through the pages the bot just edited, I was thinking that I would add any lost information that may be interesting back to the article. For example, in Iron Pickaxe, this was an anomaly: "Unlike the other base metal pickaxes (Copper, Silver, and Gold), the Iron Pickaxe requires only 3 Wood to craft." Should I add something like that to the trivia section since it isn't a bug? Chrisf1020 (talk) 21:37, 7 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Trivia sounds like a good idea for that one. There may be some anomalies that affect gameplay more substantially than that (for which the Notes section might be better in some cases). Use your judgment, I would say :) <font face="Century Gothic"> Equazcion ( talk ) 22:20, 7 Dec 2014 (UTC)
 * Alright, thanks. Chrisf1020 (talk) 22:27, 7 December 2014 (UTC)

Signatures
Are we allowed to change the color of our username in our signature to something like this or this? It's oh so tempting, I figured I would ask first though. <font face="Tw Cen Mt"> Chrisf1020 ( talk ) 04:12, 9 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Yup, you're allowed to style your signature any way you like, within reason -- as long as it's reasonably-sized, not too painful for others to look at, doesn't produce too much code on the page (255 character limit), and doesn't use a transcluded template. <font face="Century Gothic"> Equazcion ( talk ) 09:39, 9 Dec 2014 (UTC)
 * Very interesting, thank you. <font face="Tw Cen Mt"> Chrisf1020 ( talk ) 19:16, 9 December 2014 (UTC)

Files
Alright, I can't help but notice that whenever someone needs a file, you find it within minutes. Out of curiosity, where do you get all of these? For example, all of those updated console sprites or the Santa Zombie you just uploaded. <font face="Tw Cen Mt"> Chrisf1020  (talk)  01:39, 16 December 2014 (UTC)
 * I got the console sprites from the mobile game files. You can download the mobile (android) version's APK file (free) from several websites and decompress it as a ZIP file. You won't have the source code but you can get at the images.


 * The PC sprites are a little trickier -- they're in the Terraria content/images folder as XNB files. You can get images out of the XNB files using this, however they're only labeled according to ID, so unless you know the ID you're looking for, there's some time and guesswork involved.


 * Hope that helps :) <font face="Century Gothic"> Equazcion ( talk ) 01:55, 16 Dec 2014 (UTC)

Thanks so much! It took a little while to get to this point, but the 6,392 xnb files are being converted as I type! Of course, I had to, you know, make a Steam account, buy Terraria, install it, find another .xnb to .png converter, as the one on the forums no longer works, and then watch a video tutorial on how to do it. ;) <font face="Tw Cen Mt"> Chrisf1020  (talk)  03:15, 16 December 2014 (UTC)


 * Hehe ok no problem. Sounds like you got a complicated one but as long as it worked out :) <font face="Century Gothic"> Equazcion ( talk ) 03:46, 16 Dec 2014 (UTC)
