Questions

 * Is there any way to take an in game screen shot? Or do you need to use an external source in order to take pictures of Terraria?
 * Hey, IF you bought it from Steam, you can press F12 in-game and Steam will capture a screen-shot. From there you can press the "Prtsc" key once you uploaded it and copy-pasta it onto something such as Gimp or Paint. If you need to crop to something, go ahead. Or you can press the "Prtsc" key directly from the game, but I have no idea if this works. --Reginald 23:53, 21 May 2011 (UTC)


 * I can't post in the terriaonline forums, I don't receive emails from my aol account to confirm my account in the forums!


 * On certain weapons, such as the minishark, there are 3 speed stats: Use time (which I understand), Shoot, and Shoot speed. They all have different values, what do Shoot and Shoot Speed mean?

It says in a creepy writing style- "You feel an evil presence watching you...". OK heres the setting, I went to the guide - For help - and he said he thought i was ready to defeat the Eye of Cthulu. I ignore this because I knew I was ready, and I remmembered I need more bombs. So, I went to the demolitionist to buy some. He ran inside. I thought, WTF? And then it said that I felt an evil presence watching me. PLZ HELP!!! -DwezaltheArgonian
 * I'm a PRO at terraria and i've no CLUE what this means.

Stubs
Is there a way to tag pages as stubs on this wiki? I feel bad starting short or incomplete pages without being able to stub them. --RBrandon 14:35, 21 May 2011 (UTC)

Image upload
Whenever I try to upload an image for Pinky, it says Could not rename file "/tmp/phptgKbrw" to "public/1/17/Pinky.png". Help? I really want to contribute this image. --Reginald 23:53, 21 May 2011 (UTC)
 * It would appear you don't have the image resident on your computer, or it is not a .png file. -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  00:31, 22 May 2011 (UTC)
 * It's under a .PNG file and I have it on still in the "My Pictures" folder (if that's what you mean by 'resident on your computer'). --Reginald 02:35, 22 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Well, in needs a lowercase extension, and based on the path you indicated in your initial post, it's in a tmp folder with a filename of phptgKbrw. It doesn't matter what the file name is, but the extension must be .png (lowercase). If you continue to have difficulties, upload it to a file sharing site and I will help you get it on the wiki. -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  03:27, 22 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Ok.. it appears this is an internal error due to the database migration that occurred earlier. Nothing you are doing wrong, and we will hopefully have this resolved soon. -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  04:26, 22 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the heads up, I just saw the notice so I rushed here and was about to tell you. --Reginald 11:50, 23 May 2011 (UTC)

Style guide
Are the links referencing a Style Guide article that is planned but not yet written...? Or are they just broken? MayaMayhem 08:47, 15 July 2011 (UTC)
