 * This isn't the place for questions about how to do things it for suggestions. But generally if NPCs wont spawn you need to create a new world. Gracey91 (talk • contribs • count) 12:13, January 23, 2012 (UTC)

I don't like how hero can only add videos
"Do not add video content to articles. Videos will now be managed by administrator HeroGaming."

Hi, earth to Terraria Wikia, THIS IS A WIKI. This is not a "add what you want but only if we let you" place, this is a place where you're free to add what you want. The is the biggest load of bul I have ever heard of, not to mention it just screams "OH MY GOD HERO IS SO AWESOME EVEN THOUGH HE'S NOT" and various other crap that doesn't belong.

Seriously. This is outright bullcrap, and it doesn't belong on a wiki. After all, making sure Hero's the one who does videos doesn't guarantee quality. After all, look at his Dual Hook video. HE BASHED IT BECAUSE HE FORGOT THAT HE CAN USE THE E KEY. This wiki would be better off if any decent person could post videos, not just some guy who apparently has beaten every single boss by himself and has beat all hardmode bosses at once which really isn't that big of an achievement because any decent person can do that.

If this isn't rectified, then I reserve all right to request that this wiki be shut down due to it being obselete AND prejudice against the general population. There's another, much better wiki that ISN'T obnoxiously prejudice that ACTUALLY CONTAINS CORRECT INFORMATION TOO, not to mention it's better organized and easier to use.

Thank you for reading this.

 * petden (2:08, January 23, 2012 (CET)): I completely agree with Anonymous about the videos. Hero is an admin, that doesn't mean, that he should be the only one, who can add videos. It's okay, to don't allow people to add crappy videos, but others should be able to post videos too, this is a wiki. I have a feeling, that Hero put this on the homepage, so everyone will watch only his videos, and he will get all the views. There are a lot of youtubers out there, who make good terraria videos, guides (like Yrimir). Hero is not a god, he isn't the best terraria player ever, and others make good terraria videos too. I don't like that, his videos are everywhere, even in the frontpage all the time.


 * To the original poster. To start off regardless of how you feel the wiki wont be shut down. Even if i (an admin) requested it get shut down, wikia will refuse. This is a community project and its not going to be shut down because someone dislikes it, we average 2 million hits a week, wikia isn't just going to cut off a nice portion of profit. The reason Hero is the only one allowed to do videos is from the past when people all thought there video was best. They would go to a page remove a really good video and replace it with junk, in an attempt to stop this a user from youtube was found to do videos. I'm not personally going to comment on what i think as it doesn't really help all i'm going to say is 1, please don't consider the wiki "obnoxiously prejudice" when this is the actions of just a single user. 2nd thing this is a community and what the community wants goes (assuming its reasonable) so you are welcome to start a forum post requesting support for additional users to add videos, if thats what the community wants hero has no choice but to accept it.


 * To the second replier, i hear a lot about Yimir but have yet to see him/her on the wiki. If you know them get them to apply to hero to add some videos. If you ever want to see who did something to a page you can use the History link in the Edit dropdown.


 * To sum up, hero told me he is willing to allow others to add them. He would just like to see them first to check quality, he also wants the user to be someone with a reasonably large following on youtube that they can use to help promote the wiki.

 * I admit that this announcement really feels more like a Hero wants to plug his own youtube channel for his own benefit. being admins of wikia's im pretty sure you can somehow view the recently linked youtube videos. or at least view recently updated pages. Most of Hero's videos kinda bug me anyway as it really seems more like hes just reading the wiki rather than showing anything useful.


 * If its possible you may be able to get away with adding a video section to each page where not-approved videos could be linked, all the while having a featured video be higher up on the page... Maybe this is a good compromise. Monopolizing videos doesn't really sit well with me. despite using this wiki since the day i bought terraria on Steam. if Hero's decision stands ill probably go find another. Yeah i may be 1 voice in 1000 but how many others agree with this.

 * I agree with the original idea that Hero gets to check videos first before posting them on to prevent spam deleting-and-posting, but again, perhaps we could find another way around this? I agree with the guy above me that we should be able to post our own videos in a "Video Gallery" section or something.


 * I would just like to see Hero putting more info into his videos, other than "Lets see this item, its made from this, this, this and this. I think it can do this? No? No, it can't. I wonder if it can do-? Oh never mind." It would be great if Hero could actually verify some things before posting up his videos. Its quite annoying when he gives wrong/unverified information.


 * I guess im siding with both sides- Don't stop Hero completely, but have him make better videos. A Gallery section where people can add their own videos would be great too.


 * Technically Yrimir doesn't make "help" videos, the kind of which should be on a wiki. He makes entertaining videos which don't teach you much (Most of them!). Don't get me wrong, i like Yri more than Hero. Its just that i don't think his kind of videos would be great up here.

Suggestion: Other languages
My suggestion is to make a section, for example at the end of each page, with new translations of items, creatures, NPCs... etc. With that more people would visit the Wiki. As a Spanish player I'd try to collaborate with that.


 * Hello i have been sort of looking into this lately. I have found a russian based terraria wiki and think maybe we should try to join them. I'm not so sure about having the translations on the same wiki as its hard to keep an eye on content you don't understand. But i like the idea of having partner wikis who have the different languages. Let me know if you interested in making a wiki. I and i'm sure some other users will be happy to show you the ropes.

Um, so where the reference to the Russian wiki? Igor 11:08, February 4, 2012 (UTC)

The Poll's broken
Every time I vote, it adds one to yes instead of no. Also, Hero, quit being such a Jew. 64.123.99.139 21:41, January 29, 2012 (UTC)

King slime revision

In the "Tactics" section of the article on king slime, a photo has typo, saying "deign" instead of "design".

Thanks
