Reborn Mod
Hey, the Reborn Mod is approaching release, and the mod team is offering for us to host info about the mod on our wiki. Please come comment on my blog post, as this is an important issue and your feedback is needed: User_blog:Mathmagician/Reborn Mod. Thank you very much, Mathmagician ( talk ♥ blog ) 15:53, March 6, 2012 (UTC)

Reborn Mod part 2
Important, please read: User_blog:Mathmagician/Reborn_Mod Mathmagician ( talk ♥ blog ) 04:20, March 7, 2012 (UTC)

Hey mate! I'm furions friend and i was just letting you know that all the editors are doing a great job, this wiki has helped me heaps (Im still bad at this game ahah). Keep it up! (:

Talk soon?
Hey, would it be possible for us to chat on steam / wiki chat in a few days? We need to talk more about the mod very soon, and a real time discussion would be helpful. I'm also trying to notify a few others about this. Mathmagician ( talk ♥ blog ) 17:22, March 7, 2012 (UTC)


 * Unfortunately, Steam is an impossibility right now. I'll join chat now if you wish to speak with me.

Mathmagician ( talk ♥ blog ) 03:45, March 9, 2012 (UTC)
 * Path and I are on wiki chat right now. Please stop by if you happen to be around at the moment (I saw you edited within the hour)

ModHeader-Reborn
The template automatically adds Category:Mod and Category:Reborn Mod to the page. So don't worry about adding categories because the template will do it for you. We can go back and make up other categories later. Mathmagician ( talk ♥ blog ) 01:09, March 11, 2012 (UTC)

 * Thanks... but that position should be Math's, not mine. Not like I'll hold it for more than a few days anyway, lol. Also, it's 4:14 where I'm at, so I'll be going off to sleep.


 * By the way, please don't commit suicide.

Ello Chap
When I enter the chat could you tell them I cannot talk due to not being on a computer. Just that I am overseeing the chat for any wrong doers.

Fan Art
Hey, I'll think about what you said. I need to take a little bit of a break from the wiki, as school demands my attention at the moment (finals week). I'll still be checking in every day, but I don't have time to do terribly much. If you can do me a favor, please gather some extra opinions on what should be done with the Fan Art page and whether the images with text count as fan art or what to do with them. You could message say Pathogen / Dak / Koggeh or make a blog post. Thanks. Also, I saw the background...and it looks exactly the same to me?? Mathmagician ( talk ♥ blog ) 00:14, March 13, 2012 (UTC)


 * No problem, Math. I think I'll make a blog post and notify members of its presence.


 * Also, depending on the contrast of your screen, the new image is quite different. The main changes were at the top left and top right, as well as a few other tweaks.

Comments & Noticeboard
Hey, I have a couple of questions for you, go ahead and reply on my talk page please (or reply here + send me a talkback notice).

1) Do you want comments in other namespaces? Currently we have comments enabled in the main namespace, for blogs, and for the Mod: namespace. Are there any other namespaces on our wiki for which you would like to see comments enabled? Or do you think the current setup is fine?

Note: when comments are enabled, the associated talk namespace is inaccessible. For example, with comments enabled in the Mod: namespace, we cannot use the Mod_talk: namespace.

2) I would like to establish an Admin Noticeboard that people could use to report any kind of issue (vandalism, incorrect info on pages, disputes with another user, etc.) to admins and rollbacks. This would A) keep my talk page from filling up so fast, B) allow all admins to see/handle the issue, not the just one who got the message on their talk page, and also C) potentially make it easier for most people to report things.

The idea I had in mind was a single page in the main namespace, where the comments on that page would be used to report issues. Admins and rollbacks would check this page frequently, replying to comments once the issue had been taken care of. This page would be linked to from the Wiki navigation bar (and possibly other places, such as the top of admin's talk pages) to make it easier for people to find.

The content on the page itself would just be basic instructions for how people should use the page (how/what to report). It could also potentially include links to other things, such as our policy pages. Well, what do you think about the noticeboard concept? Mathmagician ( talk ♥ blog ) 01:06, March 17, 2012 (UTC)

Donate template, URLs in parameters
Continuing on the topic of URLs as parameters of templates, and the equals sign messing things up, I played around with that some more. It's possible to get around the issue by using a = template inside of the URL. That will make the link work, but the template inside of template issue then pops up (even if you do in the URL). Furthermore, trying to encode the = with %3D in the URL fails. So, to answer the question, that template just won't work. There's no solution other than putting the code on the page manually without a template.

To review, the issue is that you can't pass the = character as part of a parameter in a template, because = is a special character used to assign the parameter to its name in the template. This is exactly the same scenario as how you can't pass the pipe character | as a parameter to parser functions, which is why if you look at say Template:Infobox-Items, you'll notice code like this:



^Here the | is a stand-in for the pipe character | required for wikitables, but it can't be used directly within a parameter of the parser function because the parser function regards the pipe character as a special character delimiting the condition, true action and false action. So as part of a parameter, the pipe character has to be included via a template instead so that MediaWiki parses the code appropriately. Messy, I know, but that's how the syntax works.

 * I see. I could use Quickfox (a small in-browser notes app) to store the current template, and simply inject that into pages when necessary. I suppose the template no longer has reason to exist.

Sig
Hey man I sent you an email the other day and I'm pretty sure my sig preferences are the ones you gave me...

Furiion52


 * Can you post them anyway? There's a problem, and it isn't with your signature. Either:


 * 1) You are typing Furiion52 at the end, every time you use your sig, or...
 * 2) There is an issue with your preferences.


 * Also, I didn't see your email until just now. I'll send you a reply later on.


 * Ahhhhhhhhhh!! I have been writing Furiion52 at the end -_- Srry I didn't know I just supposed.
 * Tadaa

Happy late new year! First time this year iv'e been on this wiki so helloz and all! Kayla Kerr 22:04, March 19, 2012 (UTC)kayla kerr

Thanks for the suggestion!
Hey dude, thanks for the suggestion about changing the disambig page into a redirect, certainly looks better and it's much simpler!


 * Lol, no problem Path. Also, I've decided to start writing about the Obsidian Mod. It's pretty neat, you should check it out.


 * Heh, noticed that a little while ago. I'll have to look into it when I get home from school. ^_^

Reborn logo
Here is the logo the video has some 3d assest to it so this logo isn going to look exactly the same. hope this works for you. Also yes i made the logo.



how are you and why did you delete my very frst page?

Rights
Congratulations on your successful admin nomination, you've been given the rights and all of the necessary site js/css changes have been made (though they may take some time to be seen due to caching).

Some of the most important things to check regularly are...
 * (obviously) your talk page
 * The Admin Noticeboard that I will be creating sometime in the near future
 * Special:RecentChanges <-- most useful Special: page that exists in my opinion
 * Special:NewPages (delete spam / move to the user's blog)
 * Category:Candidates for speedy deletion (same as above)

Of course, please continue to fix vandalism. You can now block vandals as well, which you should do. We do have a Blocking Policy but the lengths of blocks are up to the admin's discretion. Just make sure to always provide a reason for the block, and don't ever infinite block. Generally I stick to 1 and 2 week blocks. Blocking is done by going to the user's contributions. Make sure to check their block log first, as repeat offender's may need a longer block.

For you in particular, I was hoping that you might be interesting in playing a key role in image management and maintenance. One thing I was hoping you would do is keep an eye on new images added to the wiki, deleting them if necessary and alerting people about the image policy if necessary. There are a lot of existing unused images from a long time ago that can be deleted if we ever find the time to look through them all, but I'd say as far as images go, keeping track of newly added images is the highest priority. I honestly don't do a very good job of this myself =/, which is why I need a lot of help with images. Pages that you may want to know about are:
 * Picture Database & Mod Image Database (I'd like to leave the management of these pages completely up to your discretion for now.)
 * Terraria Wiki:Image Policy (Make sure to delete non-Terraria images from the wiki and send people a message about it. I usually leave the uploader a message similar to this)
 * Special:UnusedFiles (unused images that are potentially useful can be added to Category:Unused Images, otherwise they should be deleted)
 * Special:UncategorizedFiles (all images are supposed to be in Category:Images, although honestly this isn't a huge concern..)
 * Special:NewFiles and Special:ListFiles (useful for keeping track of stuff)
 * Terraria Wiki:Duplicate images (this page will track all duplicate images)

Sorry for the long message and let me know if you need anything. I'll be in touch, — Mathmagician talk ♥ blog 00:00, March 22, 2012 (UTC)

Quick Congratz
Hey man, congrats on the admin promotion. Just thought I'd say that quickly while I was online. Catch you later! ^^


 * Congratulations aswell!

Wordmark
Dak has fine-tuned the wordmark to a state that he and I are comfortable with. It's over on http://fortesting.wikia.com if you'd like to see how it looks. I think it matches the background nicely. Unless you have any objections, I'd like to make that wordmark live tomorrow. Let me know, — Mathmagician talk ♥ blog 07:52, March 23, 2012 (UTC)

Template:UpdateInfo
Pathogen and I have been talking about implementing a template to handle update info in the Update Info section at the bottom of content pages. What the template does is it allows us to pass in update info line by line, but the template itself handles all the formatting. This will help us to standardize our update info and have it appear uniform across the site. Let me know if you approve of implementing this template. — Mathmagician talk ♥ blog 08:34, March 24, 2012 (UTC)
 * Template:UpdateInfo (complete with documentation)
 * Test Page (formatting comparison)

Update info template ready to go
UpdateInfo is installed and ready to go. Check out the Dungeon page to see what it looks like, and check out this edit to see how I converted what was on the page into the form that the template reads. Basically you just remove  around patch numbers, remove * at the start of lines, and put | at the start of every line inside the template. Again, be sure to check out the template documentation so that you know how the template is used.

Pages that are using the template already will display "v1.1" instead of "1.1" for the patch number. So look for that little 'v' as a visual indicator that that page is already using the template. Pages that don't have that little 'v' are not yet using the template.

Note: this template is not designed for use in the Mod: namespace. It is only designed for usage in the Update Info section of official Terraria content pages (main namespace). — Mathmagician talk ♥ blog 05:59, March 25, 2012 (UTC)
