Terraria Wiki:Admin noticeboard

The Admin noticeboard is one way through which users can notify administrators of issues needing administrative attention. While users are welcome to directly contact specific administrators (especially if they are seen to be active), posting here can be an easier and quicker way of ensuring that at least one admin will notice an issue and respond to it promptly. Remember to sign when posting an issue.

Before posting an issue here, consider the following:
 * As this is a noticeboard and not a talk page, please refrain from discussing.
 * Post only issues that require administrative action, i.e. blocking vandals, protecting pages, restoring deleted pages etc.
 * Do not post deletion requests here. Deletion requests should be made by adding  to the top of the target page, which will then automatically mark the page as a candidate for deletion.
 * Do not post issues regarding content disputes. Try making a request for comments instead.
 * Mediation requests between users should only be made if a resolution could not be reached between users.

In case of vandalism, posting about it here is low priority. Revert it first, anyone can do so. If the vandal created a new page, tag it for deletion. Assume good faith and consider leaving a message on that user's talk page to explain the reason. Post here only if the user has made several disruptive edits and/or persists despite a warning. Always avoid a revert war with the vandal; it is far better to wait until an admin has a chance to intervene.

As a sign of courtesy, also leave a message on the talk page of any involved user.
 * Creating a new request &mdash; vandals
 * 1) Edit the Vandal issues section
 * 2) At the top of the list, use the   template. Provide a short and neutral summary of the issue
 * Creating a new request &mdash; non-vandal cases (e.g. user issues, page protection/undeletion, etc.)
 * 1) Add [ a new section (+)] to the page and enter an appropriate title (without using templates or links) in the subject field.
 * 2) In the edit field, enter a short and neutral summary of the issue. Use the   template to refer to users involved with the case and provide links to important pages or edits.

Image uploads
I can not for the life of me figure out how to upload an image. I've searched it, looked in Help, no luck. --The preceding unsigned comment was added by 76.19.202.134 (talk).


 * You have to be a registered user and logged in to be able to upload images. -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  23:03, 21 May 2011 (UTC)

I've been attempting to upload an image to replace another, but I keep getting an error that the file could not be renamed. Are the images protected or something? -- Michael 17:36, 22 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Did you read the site notice? -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  18:39, 22 May 2011 (UTC)

PvP page
Hey I created the PvP page and was planning on adding to it, I can't now, which I understand. If there is something I need to do to enable me to add more to the PvP page let me know.

Navigation bar needs update
I've created a Curse noticeboard which will come in very handy sometimes. I think some bureau/sysop should add this to the left side navigation bar, right under Admin noticeboard. Ju ze  10:54, 23 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Currently there is no need for this page as this Admin noticeboard serves the same purpose. Considering I am the only active administrator currently on this wiki, there really is little need for the separation. -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  02:07, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
