Please use this page to discuss pages that have been labelled for deletion.

Does not need deletion but could uase work. Im on the case!

Zapinator
There is no reason to remove the Zapinator article. If the item is indeed in the game there is no reason not to cover it. Cloakedbolts 17:35, May 15, 2011 (UTC)

Zapinator Marked For Deletion
The Zapinator has been marked for deletion by a supposed alpha tester (who, by the way, only used his word to varify: http://terraria.wikia.com/wiki/Zapinator), Being that this is an unofficial wiki, and not the official one that is to come, neither alpha testers or even the developers themselves have the authority to mark an informational item page for deletion on the basis that they don't want it there.

The Zapinator is an item, whether they like it or not (though I must say they have to, as they included it to play around with themselves), and it warrants a wiki page. Removing the wiki page will do nothing save for give information to the general populace (such as, "What was that item that a developer just smashed me with?").

If they would like to make the Zapinator unobtainable, then they either have to remove it completely from the game (bearing no ability to simply give yourself anything you can create with your mind via an editor) or prevent character editors from being used. If they're worried people might give themselves this item, then the fact that it has a wiki page isn't the actual problem, and they need to go about fixing the actual issues, as I'm fairly certain removing a wiki page does nothing to remove the item from the actual coding.

Saphire
There was no reason for the saphire page to be marked- there are pages for other gems like amethyst, if it was due to no description/photo I fixed that.

-- It's marked, my friend, because it's spelled sapphire, not saphire. And there is already a sapphire page.


 * Not only because of the misspelling, which can easily be fixed, but there was already a page with the registered name of Sappire, so even a spelling correction would lead to some kind of traffic jam / confusion.


 * Also, by looking at the histories of both pages (single P has 12 edits, while the actual page has 14), AND looking at each edit, there is much more of a general agreement that Sapphire was more "loved" and "taken care of"; besides, it was on the wiki LONGER than Saphire.


 * If also needed to present as evidence, in the Saphire page,


 * http://terraria.wikia.com/index.php?title=Saphire&diff=prev&oldid=7270


 * The time it was set to be deleted there was really no information about the gemstone, while at the same time, the closest edit in the Sapphire page,


 * http://terraria.wikia.com/index.php?title=Sapphire&action=historysubmit&diff=7353&oldid=6952


 * Has almost the same content, yet with an actual fact that it is usually spotted in a 5 block cluster in deep caves. Also in the edits that follow, Sapphire really takes off with other editors putting in a good word/edit here and there, while it takes almost the rest of the editing history, to the end, to make progress. Now what you could do is maybe confirm whatever information you can use from the Saphire page, and then incorporate that into the more mainstream Sapphire page. All of this was my argument on why we should be deleting the Saphire page. Elfstevie 06:29, May 17, 2011 (UTC)

Known Glitches
Known Glitches should be removed as we already have a bug list page.
