Blood Moon
Hi ferretwings! Was just wonder what was going on with what you brought up about my edit. I was going through the edit history of the page blood moon when I saw an anonymous user has deleted so called "religious nonsense". I simply copied the deleted content, pasted it back in and saved the page. I saw the notification, and I'm confused on what I did wrong. Please respond back soon. -KittenLover33 KittenLover33 (talk) 02:27, 21 March 2016 (UTC)


 * Revision as of 05:36, 8 March 2016 by User:Gearzein where he did some cleaning up and re-worded it. —Ferretwings (talk) 02:59, 21 March 2016 (UTC)


 * Generally speaking, it's a bad idea to go through history and correct edits like this. Vandalism remains in a page's history into perpetuity, even after it's been reverted. As in this case, these problems are often resolved shortly after that point, and attempting to fix them can cause these conflicts with the current version of a page.

Thanks guys! I'll delete this conversation now that his is settled. Thanks. KittenLover33 (talk) 02:31, 1 April 2016 (UTC)

Admin?
I'd like to make you an admin. Under ideal circumstances I might like to wait until someone has a higher edit count before promoting them, but I think we could really use another admin now. I'm not here as much as I'd like to be anymore, and others seem to also be here only sporadically. From where I'm standing, you have good language skills, firm grasp of the game, good wiki instincts, and you spend a lot of time here. So, let me know if you're interested and/or if you have questions (via a reply here). Equazcion ( talk ) 04:52, 1 Apr 2016 (UTC)
 * Yes, I would be interested. – Ferretwings (talk) 05:13, 1 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Alrighty, done. Let me know if you have any questions about your new tools, enforcing rules, etc. Good luck :) Equazcion  ( talk ) 05:29, 1 Apr 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks! I've got a couple of projects going on right now... if I have any questions, I'll definitely ask. I love lists (tables), and am creating some lists for myself, and will learn how to make templates probably tomorrow.
 * I do have one question, if I create sub-pages for myself, will the edits appear with the Recent Changes? And is there a way to stop the Sandbox edits from appearing with the Recent Changes? – Ferretwings (talk) 05:50, 1 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately there's no way to stop userspace edits from appearing in recent changes, but you shouldn't really worry about that. "Cluttering up" recent changes isn't really much of a problem. You could cause maybe a minor inconvenience if you made hundreds of edits but still, no major issue with that. Equazcion  ( talk ) 06:01, 1 Apr 2016 (UTC)
 * I just blocked a user for making erroneous and mis-leading edits, but I'm wondering now if he was editing for the Mobile platform. I'll go through his edits and see if that's the case. --Ferretwings (talk) 12:42, 6 April 2016 (UTC)
 * An editor got me thinking... We've described some weapons as post-Golem and post-Plantera. Should we continue the pattern with other bosses? For example, the Phantasm uses Vortex Fragments, which can only be obtained once the Vortex Pillar is defeated (or the other pillars). Would that make the Phantasm post-Cultist? --Ferretwings (talk) 02:35, 15 April 2016 (UTC)

Megashark reverted undo
May I ask why you undid your undo of the edit on the Megashark from 142.167.249.243? From what I see your reasoning was sound. Flisch42 (talk) 21:49, 14 April 2016 (UTC)
 * After I undid the edit, I had a flashback to about a year ago, when I spent many coins modifying all my weapons and accessories, not realizing that the modifications would be lost once I crafted them into something better. Ferretwings (talk) 01:43, 15 April 2016 (UTC)
 * That is reasonable but that would mean we have to add this to all weapons and accessories which can be crafted into something else and than I find this a bit redundant. Flisch42 (talk) 08:08, 15 April 2016 (UTC)
 * You do have a point. I thought of adding it to the weapons (I believe there are 9), that are used to craft more powerful weapons. I'll need to think about this for a while. For now, I'll just add it the the Reforge page, to let players know that modifications are lost when the item is used in crafting. --Ferretwings (talk) 15:46, 15 April 2016 (UTC)
