Something rather interesting I came across after starting Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica
Well, I decided to do some googling, and it brought up some rather interesting results. Namely, this, heh. Found the images posted to be quite entertaining! Oh and some news on my current computer situation; it's still technically out-of-commission, as it regularly fails to boot, and even then regularly bluescreens when it does boot. Though I just recently got the job I was hoping to get, so I can probably fix it within a relatively short delay. :D

Spam and abuse filter
Thanks, I noticed and realized the problem were all the caps. Should have known, since I am a bit familiar with the way the spam filter works (but never stumbled with an all caps limitation yet). Thanks for checking and corroborating what the issue was. I will be using bold letters more often. :) --Liliana (my talk). 08:20, August 22, 2012 (UTC)

Mod policy/guidelines
I posted a message at the bottom of Forum:Mod_Namespace_Suggestion. Please offer any suggestions or changes you may wish to regarding the version I've set forth at Terraria Wiki talk:Mod Article Editing Policy. If you have no problems with it, I'll go ahead and implement it (but not before Path and Leet have been given a chance to see this message and respond to it). Thanks,

Mods in search results
Could you maybe try something with js? Thanks,

Re:Bot
You have new messages on my talk page. I said I wouldn't do this, but it seems RC is being flooded with automatic comment deletions, so yeah.

Articles needing attention
Hi! Nice to meet you! I've been working on fixing up the Boss Monsters page, but I was just wondering, when is an article good enough to not need the "Needs improvement" tag any more? I don't know if I can remove it myself when I'm finished editing or if it needs to be verified by an admin first.

Thank you! Brightcynder (talk) 23:53, September 22, 2012 (UTC)


 * Hi, nice to meet you too! If you feel the article is good enough to remove the Needs Attention category, you can remove it -- when you do so, just try to leave an edit summary that says "Removed Category" or something like that in the box in the upper right corner. If someone else thinks the article still needs work when they read it later, they can just re-add the Needs Attention category. There's not very many things here that need approval or verification of an admin.


 * We have very few policies (formal rules) about who can/should do what, but these are quite limited for the most part. We tend to operate on more of a "do first, if it's a problem then we talk about it afterwards" kind of way, as opposed to a "ask first, if it's okay then you can do it" kind of way. In general, as long as your goal is to be helpful, please don't feel like you need to ask to do anything, although you're always welcome to ask if you want to :)

Hellexarus has Returned
Hey Math, I'm back! Also, I kinda forget some templates and stuff, so it's natural that I'd come to you or path, or any other admins, for help. :P

Um, this is the only thing I need, I think... What's the template for the item.. Thing. (I don't know the name) It's the template that holds the mobs/npcs/items/etc in it. I don't know if it's very specific, but I can't really describe it well. :S

Sorry, and thanks.

Hey Math, could you come on steam for a bit please? I'm having trouble getting the weapon infobox to work properly. :P

My Own Wiki
Hey, I was wondering if I should make my own wiki or not. I've been thinking about it, and now that Google Chrome helps me edit and stuff, I might be able to manage. I don't know if I have to pay for it or not, but it would be nice to have my own wiki and stuff. Although, I don't know what kind of wiki I should make. Please reply if you have any suggestions/think that I can manage! (If the wiki is set up I will make you admin. :P)

And also, I copied and pasted this to most admins that I know. Thanks for your time!

Hellexarus (talk) 01:46, September 29, 2012 (UTC)


 * You can actually create your own Wikia wiki ("Wikia" is the name of the company that hosts the Terraria Wiki and thousands of other wikis) for free anytime you want. To do that, you simply click the Start a wiki button in the upper-left corner of the screen and follow the process. Personally, I do not recommend starting your own wiki, especially if you don't know what topic it should be about and you're not comfortable with advanced coding stuff (like knowing how to create and use templates without anyone helping you, etc). If you do start a wiki, please note that I probably won't be able to help you with it very much, as my time is pretty limited and I have to be more selective -- I can't help everyone :(


 * That's fine Math, thanks anyways! Also, I did know that it was Wikia, I just put wiki for short. :P Also, I'm testing stuff on Path's Wikia, and I'm gonna ask him to help me out when he get's online again. (Sometime around 2:30 PM EST). Thanks anyways! Oh, and when you (possibly) respond to this, could you possibly come on steam so it's easier and more private to chat, rather than long paragraphs on a talk page? :P Thanks -- Hellexarus (talk) 13:10, September 29, 2012 (UTC)

Please read this and help me......

Thank You.

Hi,

I have a issue with Terraria. The problem being that when I go onto my own worlds with any of my characters when I press esc or open chests the game pauses. I can hear the ingame music but cannot move. I have tried updating Microsoft /NET from version 4 to version 4.5 but it hasn't solved my problem. I also tried installing XNA 4 again but again didn't help.

Any suggestions would be appreciated,

Thanks

Hi, you probably have the setting to 'pause while inventory is open' or something. Try going to settings and finding that. Should help. -- Hellexarus (talk) 02:45, October 6, 2012 (UTC)

It turns out that was the case and I have now solved this problem. Thanks anyway :)

Re:Background
Hello MathMagician. I am happy to see I have a helper on this Wiki :)

User "Flowers111"
http://terraria.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/Flowers111

She's uploaded a Minecraft pic and tiny pic showing what she looks like in Terr. Neither of the pics are referenced anywhere, or so pics' pages tell. I couldn't quickly find how to undo or mark a pic for deletion, so I came to you.

Rautamiekka (talk) 18:42, October 10, 2012 (UTC)


 * Thanks, Rautamiekka. The image of the user's player does not explicitly violate our image policy, but if it is still not in use in a few days, it'll probably be deleted. I have deleted the Minecraft image.


 * If you want to mark a page or file for deletion in the future, you can edit it and add delete, which adds it to Category:Candidates for deletion. This category is monitored by admins.


 * Thanks. I know the Terr pic doesn't violate anything but I mentioned to make a figure out of the total. --Rautamiekka (talk) 19:17, October 10, 2012 (UTC)

Article for sell prices/values ?
Does article for everything's sell price/value still exist ?


 * Not that I know of, you're welcome to create one if you want. So far as I know, every item page has the price of the item listed in the infobox though and that's usually good enough for most people. But yeah, if you wanted a listing of all items according to their sell prices, I don't think we have an article about that.

Renaming of page Hardmode Ores
To me that article should be renamed to Hard Mode Ores since Hardmode isn't the correct spelling, but the renaming form says links pointing to it aren't auto-changed.

Now that I checked, there are more of "wrongly named" pages dedicated for HM stuff. --Rautamiekka (talk) 21:56, October 18, 2012 (UTC)


 * I actually second this. It's a good thing to note, regardless of the fact that Hardcore Mode is sometimes shortened to both Hardmode and Hard Mode, in my experience. A proper boundary between these two mechanics would definitely be something I'd be interested in seeing defined. ^ᴗ^


 * Rautamiekka: I agree, go ahead and rename the page. That's true, links pointing to it aren't auto-changed, you need to change those manually. To do that, go to Special:Whatlinkshere/Hardmode Ores (there's a "What links here" option in your toolbar at the bottom of the screen, if you don't have it, click the Customize option to add it to your toolbar) -- that will show a list of all pages that link to Hardmode Ores. Then you simply edit all those pages and change the links to point to Hard Mode Ores instead.


 * If you forget to check incoming links with "What links here" don't worry about it too much. When you rename a page it will automatically leave a redirect behind, so incoming links will be redirected to the newly renamed page. Sometimes this creates a problem called "Double redirects" -- but I will check for those at Special:DoubleRedirects later -- they can be easily resolved later.


 * If you have a list of pages you want renamed, feel free to rename them yourself, or list them here and I can do it for you if you want.


 * There's no official term. I prefer "Hardmode" - that also seems to be used more often on the forum. Redigit has used both terms (example). Whatever we go with, I agree that it should be consistent. Not that any of that matters, as I've already been outvoted.


 * Official would be following how the game has it named, if HM even is ever mentioned in the game. --Rautamiekka (talk) 01:06, October 19, 2012 (UTC)

New category idea: corruptible/corruptibles
An idea hit me about a category for blocks that can be corrupted by Corruptor or by The Corruption expanding on its own. --Rautamiekka (talk) 15:28, October 20, 2012 (UTC)


 * Sounds like it could be helpful. Go ahead and make the category if you'd like :) -- you don't need to ask my permission to edit things.


 * I kinda do, and you know a few things more. --Rautamiekka (talk) 20:12, October 20, 2012 (UTC)

Background - finally complete
I ended up scrapping my original project in favor of something simpler. Here it is - http://fortesting.wikia.com/wiki/For_Testing_Wiki

Suitable? Detestable? Is there something I should change? Please let me know what you think :)

(The lit area at the bottom left seems kind of distracting to me, I think I'll take that out. I'm just far too lazy to do it tonight.)


 * It looks pretty nice. Do you have a full version of that picture, w:c:fortesting:File:Bg.png (without the black square in the middle)? I'd like to try making the background partially transparent, just to see what it looks like.


 * Also, at the top of the screen there's that black bar (#WikiaTopAds in the HTML) ... doesn't look terribly appealing, I feel that top strip should be part of the image, not black like the rest of the middle.


 * No. The two areas are only a few blocks apart in the world itself. I could do something with it if you're really interested in a transparent body.


 * With my ad blocker on, I had semi-forgotten about that. The area's filled now.


 * JungleTreasure.jpgExample: 80% white on top of an image Yes, I am interested in making the background of the wiki not be plain white. It can still be mostly white, I just want to experiment with opacity so we can have the background be partially seen behind the article. Here's a crude example:
