The use time on the Tombstone is wrong.


As you can see here, The Tombstone has the wrong usetime. Ont he wiki it's listed as 15 when it's actually 10.


 * The item statistic useTime is what translates to the tool speed of tools, or, if not applicable, an internal use time. The actual use time, as it is commonly known, and referred to on the wiki, is represented by the useAnimation statistic. (This is not the only case of slightly confusing source code naming.) A good example is the Clockwork Assault Rifle, whose useTime, 4, is one third of its useAnimation, 12, resulting in the effect of three bullets being shot per use (the Golden Shower has a similar effect). See also Use time, and Module:Iteminfo for an explanation of all statistics. --Rye Greenwood (talk) 19:37, 6 January 2020 (UTC)

Already bought the game
I have kind of a weird question. I have Terraria on my Xbox, but I just got a new computer that I want to get Terraria on. If I go to buy it it says I need to pay. Is there a way to just install because I already own it or do I need to rebuy it?

Blood Moon Rarity
I Don't think the rarity for the blood moon to occur is correct, since I've had 4 blood moons BACK to BACK. :D

Separating information from different versions of the game
The Terraria Wiki is an extremely useful tool for gaining access to accurate information across all versions of Terraria. However, it can be difficult to interpret at times as a result of the version differences, and there are some redundancies. To give a few examples:
 * Terra Blade's sentence "The Terra Blade becomes available after defeating one (Old-gen console version 3DS Version) / all (Desktop Version Console Version Mobile Version) Mechanical Bosses."
 * Palm Wood's version symbols on every craftable item, and itself, despite the version-exclusive page heading.
 * "Spectre Wings" and "Ghost Wings" being listed as separate items in Wings.

To give an example of how differences are handled on other wikis, see the Splatoon Wiki. Here is a page involving different versions: https://splatoonwiki.org/wiki/Splattershot And a page involving just the newest version: https://splatoonwiki.org/wiki/Splat_Dualies

As you can see, they use tabs to separate the versions, along with different sections in the article. I believe something similar could be implemented in the Terraria Wiki to make information easier to understand. The majority of Terraria Wiki's users likely play on the latest version of the game (Desktop / Mobile / Console), but for those who play on Old-gen Console / 3DS, there information would still be there.

I created a sample here: https://imgur.com/a/JQipguu It could likely be optimized to remove some duplicate information, but hopefully the main idea is clear. Notato8 (talk) 02:57, 1 February 2020 (UTC)

Unknown Easter egg?
So im just sitting here, messing around and getting farther than i ever have before (steam user name Venompool25) and suddenly, as im messing around at the homescreen, having just switched worlds, i click by accident and the screen turns dark, i panic for a second thinking i just did something, then realize the screen isnt moving, i let go it starts moving again, and i quickly click again and it stops, i look where im clicked and its the sun, turns out you can move the sun on the homescreen (I'm excited bc i cant find any information online and it seems to me no one has found this yet) Daddipool69 (talk) 08:05, 6 February 2020 (UTC)


 * This is actually a known feature. It is documented here: Day and night cycle (comes up when searching for "sun" on the wiki). --Rye Greenwood (talk) 21:05, 6 February 2020 (UTC)

What’s the resolution?
I’m having some trouble with finding the resolution anyone know or know if it’s on a certain page? I just want to have my mod be the same resolution as the core game, so anyone know?

Server
I need help. My server says I am on updated and I'm on the old version which is 1.2, but I'm actually on 1.3 by the way I'm on mobile. And the server I want to connect to keep saying that it's connecting which it should already be fixed. Please help.

You will have to purchase it again, as Terraria console and desktop versions have some differences, the most notable being the ability to download mods. Phenomalix008 (talk) 01:42, 11 March 2020 (UTC)

Adding Frostpark Boots guide link
I just added the Guide:Crafting Frostpark Boots to template:Guide/Content. It needs to be added to the other guide links on their respective pages.Pispacedolphinmachinegun (talk) 20:01, 20 March 2020 (UTC)

Strange problems with template include size
Previously, the page List of weapons/it contained a table with a cargo query, and the table refused to load properly because it was reaching the limit of Post‐expand include size. However, while testing I noticed that the table will work as intended on a blank page, so I created a User:Philo04/sandbox/it and transcluded it onto List of weapons/it via Ajax, and it seems to work properly. BUT, when I tried to move my sandbox to a mainspace article (something like List of weapons/table/it), it refused to show the table, no matter how many times I purged or null edited it. Can someone explain why that is? — Philo04 (talk) 21:48, 28 March 2020 (UTC)
