 * There are some changes coming next week that will make most of these extensions a non issue. I will be posting more details in a few days. -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  19:34, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

Portuguese Translation
I have noticed the PT translation project as complete, but you have deleted ALL the translation, why is this, why did you delete our hard work?
 * You can find the Portuguese translation here, as noted at the top of the project page.. --Icke 08:44, 27 March 2013 (UTC)

Thank you very much, sorry for this, also I have noticed the lack of work on the PT wiki, I would like to submit a progect to re-activate it. Also why is it that the login page on the PT wiki didnt recognize my ENG wiki acc? --Ricalou 23:32, 30 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Because it is a separate wiki, so you have to reregister. There is no need to "reactivate" the project, simply go to work on the Portuguese wiki and continue translating. -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  01:15, 31 March 2013 (UTC)

ZHTW (Chinese)
Hello, add zhtw (Chinese) interwiki function in Russian Wiki. User Alex Great talk 05:08, 3 April 2013 (UTC)

What happened?
Why you add adblock in right side of page? Many and many ads? Top, bottom, and right.... OK, i want to say that this block merged infobox to down (see this for example). User Alex Great talk 12:52, 18 April 2013 (UTC)
 * OK, don't warry, I finished this qestion... I delete  clear: right;  from Common.css. Now infobox displayed correctly... User Alex Great talk 08:19, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

And what is it with user's names and pages "Wynthyst (User:Wynthyst)"? User Alex Great talk 13:01, 18 April 2013 (UTC)
 * This is all part of our new wiki platform. -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  14:51, 18 April 2013 (UTC)

Searching
Hello. In Russian Wiki searching is crashed! Why search for individual words does not show the page where the word occurs at least once. Plz, fix it. User Alex Great talk 04:22, 9 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Same seems to be the case for this wiki. --0icke0 (talk) 10:07, 20 May 2013 (UTC)

Guide: Articles
Hello, it recently came to my attention that it is impossible for (un)registered users to edit articles in the Guide namespace (although admins can). However non of those articles are protected. Can you take a look at that? --0icke0 (talk) 10:07, 20 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Sure, I'll make sure it's added to the core permissions. -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  21:39, 20 May 2013 (UTC)
 * It seems it is still not possible for (un)registered users to edit those articles (although they can edit the talk pages of those articles). Could you take another look at that? Also the search function still isn't working great either (see above). --0icke0 (talk) 09:44, 1 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Sigh, I thought they had taken care of this issue. I will get it on the queue for next week! -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  10:28, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

Regarding a guide revamp
Hey Wyn,

I was going through the 'Getting started' guide for my usual changes and restructuring. In prep for this, I bought the console version of Terraria in the hopes of adding (what I thought at the time) was minimal changes and differences. My impression was completely wrong.

The differences between the PC and console games is much more convoluted than what I had thought possible. If I was to do one single guide for the three systems it would far exceed being a simple guide and far larger than what would be necessary.

I would like to propose a fundamental restructuring of (at first) the Getting started guide.

It would be easiest to use the current page that the guide is on (Guide:Getting_started) as a gateway between three pages: One for the PC, one for the Xbox, and one for the PS3 version. While the differences between the Xbox and PS3 version are minimal, it would make sense to have console-specific pages to account for the changes between controllers.

Ultimately, it would be nice to have certain guides follow suit, which would allow a person on this wiki to easily understand where they stand in terms of which system they are on. The biggest culprit would be the crafting page (as the system is MUCH more detailed).

At the moment, nothing needs to be done. I would have to write all the guides from scratch, and that would probably take me a few weeks. Mainly, I just want your input on if this is a good idea or not. You have the experience and would most likely be the person implementing the structures.

So, what do you think?--Jesthel (talk) 01:04, 22 May 2013 (UTC)
 * I think it's a great idea. We want the wiki to be as beneficial as possible for ALL players, not just the PC players. I personally don't own any game consoles, so I have no idea what the differences are between them are, so anything you can do to make it better, please do so. I would suggest though rather than using the current getting started guide as a disambig page, we simply create a notice box (like a nav box, but to put at the top of the page) that would direct players to the other versions as they are completed. I think it should say something like... "This article is a guide to getting started on the PC. For the X-box, please see ...." etc. Or we could do something more like a nav box at the to that just has links (with icons) to the various versions. Work on getting the new guides finished first and we can figure out how to link them later. I would use a standard disambig naming convention, Guide:Getting Started (Xbox), Guide:Getting Started (PS3), etc.... -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  10:10, 23 May 2013 (UTC)
