Blood Moon
Hi ferretwings! Was just wondering 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. Gearzein (talk) 04:34, 21 March 2016 (UTC)

Thanks guys! 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 to 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)

Housing Menu
Hi, I noticed that Housing Menu redirects to Inventory but there is no information about it on this page. All the info are on the House page. Does "Housing Menu" should directly redirects to "House" instead or the content of it have to be moved to "Inventory" ? --  Dinoxel  discussion  00:59, 29 April 2016 (UTC)
 * At some point, the content was moved from the Inventory page to the House page. It makes more sense on the House page, I think. I went through and removed all the recursive links to House. Good catch. --Ferretwings (talk) 04:03, 29 April 2016 (UTC)
 * That's perfect now ! ;) --  Dinoxel  discussion  12:52, 29 April 2016 (UTC)

admin
I'd like to make you an admin,my contributions in Brazil of the Portuguese in minecraft wiki are good and want to be in administrator to terraria in Portuguese,it is too late. Eduaddad (talk) 15:08, 30 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Any help you give with the Portuguese translation project would be greatly appreciated. The link to the project is Terraria Wiki:Projects/Portuguese translation. The Portuguese Terraria Wiki can be found here. We cannot make you an admin on that wiki, you will need to contact an admin at the Portuguese Terraria Wiki. I suggest making a number of contributions to that wiki, so they can see the value of your work. -- Ferretwings (talk) 19:24, 17 July 2016 (UTC)

Asking about Projectile IDs page
This is fairly random and I'm not sure whether you'd be the best one to ask about it, but you seem active on here so I'm asking, I want to do some maintenance on the Projectile IDs page (not necessarily the most important of pages but I find all the ID stuff interesting and the pages are somewhat under-maintained), and I was wondering if you'd think it would be a good idea to reorganize the main table to somehow incorporate a "source" of each projectile to allow for including an actual image of the projectile itself (examples where it isn't the case being Frost Shard from the Ice Queen, for example). A lot of images are missing so for a lot of projectiles it isn't exactly clear what it is (for example, IDs 486-489 are all named "Hook" with no link and no image so it pretty much means nothing to anyone who might be using the page for modding or whatnot). I can navigate the source code so I can upload the images and find the information but basically I was wondering if something like IMAGE | NAME | SOURCE | ID would be a feasible set of header columns for the page, if they were filled in down the table with the relevant information. Thanks, Echofire (talk) 02:43, 9 May 2016 (UTC)

Edit: Upon going back and reading this again I realized I never really actually explained what I meant by "source"... It's supposed to be what NPC, item, or block the projectile comes from, for example the Frost Shard's source would be the Ice Queen, Wooden Arrow's source would be all Bows/Repeaters (or the Wooden Arrow item itself, I suppose) and the Guide, and so on. With this system the name of the projectile wouldn't need to be a link (unless it has its own dedicated page, though most don't) because the source of the projectile could be a link instead, and the image could be an image of the actual projectile as it appears in the game rather than occasionally an image of the source entity or no image at all. Echofire (talk) 03:26, 9 May 2016 (UTC)


 * It sounds like a good idea to me. Make the proposal on the Community Noticeboard, to allow admins to comment on the idea. Perhaps include a short table as a demonstration. I would keep the projectile id column next to the projectile. If you don't get a response within a couple of days, I'd drop a note on User Talk:Gearzein and User Talk:Equazcion pages and ask them to take a look at your proposal. Ferretwings (talk) 03:32, 9 May 2016 (UTC)

Adding a French link
Hey, could you add Robe de Gypsy on the Gypsy Robe page ? --  Dinoxel  discussion  10:48, 28 May 2016 (UTC)
 * I see you have already done it :) &emsp;&mdash;Ferretwings (talk) 15:19, 28 May 2016 (UTC) ... or perhaps I misunderstand
 * Thanks ! But what do you mean ? --  Dinoxel  discussion  15:52, 28 May 2016 (UTC)
 * I mis-read your request, and thought you wanted the Gypsy Robe image on the French wiki. And then I saw you had already uploaded the image. Then I came back and re-read your request, and understood. I think I need some coffee. :) &ensp;&mdash;Ferretwings (talk) 16:13, 28 May 2016 (UTC)

Delete my Page?
Excuse me for a moment, I was creating a gif and put it in this wiki, but when I saw the thumbnail of the file, It says "Error creating thumbnail: gm convert: Corrupt image (/media/hydra-media/terraria.gamepedia.com/8/8e/Ezgif.com-gif-maker.gif)". Is there something wrong with my gif? If there is, can you delete it? I think I just made an mistake and do some random stuffs. Here is the file. http://terraria.gamepedia.com/File:Ezgif.com-gif-maker.gif. Thanks! :D. --IosKent (talk) 05:06, 3 June 2016 (UTC)
 * It is normal that no thumbnails are created for large .gifs. You can just use the image like you normally would. --0icke0 (talk) 08:40, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

Ok thanks. :D --IosKent (talk) 13:11, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

Is my user page appropriate?
I was wondering, is my User Page is appropriate? Thanks.. --IosKent (talk) 07:59, 5 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Yes, it's fine, lol! Users can do whatever they want with their own pages. And it was very sweet what you said about the admins here. We try to be fair. Several of our editors are really good at editing, some editors are good at looking stuff up in the compiled version of Terraria, and one editor... well, half his work is really good. What we really need now are more Mobile and Console users to help edit, that's why I reached out to you. I do appreciate the help you give. :) &emsp;&mdash;Ferretwings (talk) 13:27, 5 June 2016 (UTC)

Thanks, you can ask me whenever you want. Because I am active everyday. You can ask me what is the recipes, tips, notes, etc..

Also, I saw an IP Address vandalizing on the page Lucky Horseshoe. Can you please block him. Its name is 24.248.204.129. Thanks --IosKent (talk) 13:35, 5 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Most vandals are "hit and run"... they change a few words on a single page, and then we never hear from them again. I don't bother blocking them, I just revert their edits. The vandals I'm most concerned about are the ones that delete whole blocks of information (like recipes). Also, the vandals that vandalize more than just one page. I'm going through the list of recent edits now, looking for vandals. --Ferretwings (talk) 13:56, 5 June 2016 (UTC)

Oh, Ok. Thanks for telling me that. Now I know minor vandals doesn't need to be block, but the major vandals needs to be block. Thanks Ferretwings --IosKent (talk) 14:00, 5 June 2016 (UTC)

Amber Can Be Found in Underground
The page you edited, called Amber, right? For the mobile, amber can actually be found in underground and cavern layer. --IosKent (talk) 11:48, 13 June 2016 (UTC)--
 * Can you provide a screenshot? In "real life," Amber isn't mined, it come from tree resin. --Ferretwings (talk) 14:00, 13 June 2016 (UTC)

Will Chaos State last longer on mobile?
I am testing this right now. Sorry for the previous glitched disscussion [deleted duplicate], i forgot the title and it was thought of as "harmful" when I tried to fix the title. EDIT: It is found to be true. I tested it.
 * Exactly how long does it last in Mobile? -- Ferretwings (talk) 03:08, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
 * I just tested it again, it lasts 9 seconds on Mobile, 6 on PC (I think, I'm not too good at counting seconds but I'm almost completely sure it's 9 on mobile) Squeaker340 (talk) 21:55, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Ok, it lasts about 7 seconds on PC, 10 on mobile. I'm still not exactly sure though. I DO know that it lasts 3 seconds longer on Mobile than on PC. Squeaker340 (talk) 21:55, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
 * I knew it lasts longer on Mobile than on PC. According to the Rod of Discord page, the Chaos State lasts for 6 / 8  seconds. I just wondered if it was lasting longer on Mobile than 8 seconds. --Ferretwings (talk) 05:50, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

Can you be stabbed without the cube touching you?
I tested this before. I turned on transparent map, zoomed in and made it fully visible, so I could see the cube as a visible shadow. I went into a pitch black area i previously lit up, and it stabbed me without touching me. Squeaker340 (talk) 19:31, 12 July 2016 (UTC) EDIT - I screenshotted this, here is the proof: http://steamcommunity.com/id/btoaper/screenshot/271723325199663204

Beetle Husk on 3DS version
Is Beetle Husk on 3DS version or not, because I am a mobile player, not a 3DS player. Thanks. -- IosKent  ( Talk Page  -  Contribs ) 02:44, 16 July 2016 (UTC)--
 * No, 3DS is only 1.2, so it doesn't have Beetle Husk yet. -- Ferretwings (talk) 02:50, 16 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Wow, quick response. Thanks. I was going to revert the edits of LordofEditting but you were too fast. -- IosKent  ( Talk Page  -  Contribs ) 02:54, 16 July 2016 (UTC)--

Goblin Summoner's Al
I heard that you made an edit that Goblin Summoner is Fighter Al, but it looks like Caster Al because he can cast Shadowflame Apparations. Is it really Fighter Al or Caster Al. Then give me the explanation why -- IosKent  ( Talk Page  -  Contribs ) 10:53, 17 July 2016 (UTC)--
 * I changed the AI back to Fighter per game code and left a paragraph on the Talk:Goblin Summoner page explaining the reason. I'd agree that based on its disposition, its unique behavior probably should have been implemented within the Caster AI, but its properties are specifically set to Fighter (3) when spawned.  I'll look into this a bit further to see if I can find any discrepancies or some non-obvious reassignment.  Critcodedtuna (talk) 14:05, 17 July 2016 (UTC)
 * When I saw that the Goblin Summoner's AI was a "3" (see here), I added it to the AI page. -- Ferretwings (talk) 19:00, 17 July 2016 (UTC)

Well, Ok, I will just accept that for now -- IosKent  ( Talk Page  -  Contribs ) 10:30, 18 July 2016 (UTC)--

Help with Tooltips
Hello Ferretwings, I would like a little help on the page Tooltips. It would be nice if you could help. Leafs reply here or on my talk page. Cheers. LordofEditing (talk) 00:23, 22 July 2016
 * I suggest collecting your ideas on a user sub-page first, and then copy it over to a wiki page once you have a sizable amount of information. You could create a sub-page User:LordofEditing/Tooltips. What is your plan for the page Tooltips? Is there something I can look at? I'll help if I can. -- Ferretwings (talk) 04:40, 22 July 2016 (UTC)
 * I have created a sub-page which you can view here: User:LordofEditing/Tooltips Note:  it is not finished. Obviously. LordofEditing (talk) 08:00, 22 July 2016 (UTC)
 * There appear to be some formatting issues with the ichor debuff, check if you can solve them. The layout can be seen with the other buffs & debuffs. LordofEditing (talk) 02:12, 29 July 2016 (UTC)

Help with sections on the French Wiki
Hey, I was updating the French "Wood" page but I had a problem, the section about Living Wood doesn't show. I had the content on the French "Recipes/Living Loom" page. Do you know where it comes from ? --Dinoxel (talk) 15:38, 28 July 2016 (UTC)
 * To include our Living Wood recipes, we use (don't forget the ":")&ensp; The full url is https://terraria.gamepedia.com/Recipes/Living_Loom   – Ferretwings  (talk ) 18:07, 28 July 2016 (UTC)

 * Sorry, I guess I need to be more aware of how changes to our wiki can affect the other wikis. – Ferretwings (talk ) 18:31, 28 July 2016 (UTC)


 * Well, thank you but I already added the section content here. You can find the French "Wood" page here. As you can see, the code isn't working. -- Dinoxel  talk  19:19, 28 July 2016 (UTC)
 * I see. It appears the French wiki doesn't recognize the tag. It's part of the Labeled Section Transclusion extension. I have contacted User:Game widow about it, and hopefully she can fix it. – Ferretwings  (talk ) 21:02, 28 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks that you contacted her ! By the way there is a problem on the Ranged_weapons page. -- Dinoxel  talk  01:08, 29 July 2016 (UTC)

About vandalism file upload and deleting
Just an hour ago, I noticed 3 duplicated spam pdf file uploaded as File:QB Welcome CALL @@ ⫸⫸ Quickbooks support ⫸⫸ 1 800 728 7356 ⫸⫸ Quickbooks support ⫸⫸ Quickbooks support phone number Quickbooks customer support phone number USA CANADA⫸⫸.pdf. I just want you know now they are exploiting file upload for vandalism, and I can't delete at all. Hope you can handle it. And to prevent this type of vandalism, I recommend you to limit file upload qualification for at least 1-day-old account. I don't think they even have effort to wait a day. If you know the reason why terraria wiki is getting vandalism in this serious level, please let me know with email: jupiterbjy@naver.com. I'm really sorry. I cannot check with this buggy terraria mobile interface. Jupiterbjy (talk) 17:49, 1 August 2016 (UTC)
 * We added some additional words to the spam filter, hopefully it solves the problem. Although I agree with you regarding preventing new users from uploading files, we do occasionally get png and gif contributions from new users. If the spam file uploads continue, we may need to re-think our current policy.

Bug
Ferretwings, could you please upload this to the forums in a bug report? This is slightly disturbing. Image:
 * It would be best if the person who experienced the bug did the reporting. The devs will need details, and it's easier if the questions and answers aren't going through a third person. Obviously they'll need to know the platform used and Terraria version number, and possibly under what Terraria version the world was created. They'll also need to know the armor used, minions, pets, weapons, buffs, anything that can help them recreate the bug. Unless they can figure out exactly what caused the bug, there's really nothing they can do. – <span style="color:#00755E; font:bold 15px Comic Sans MS,Arial">Ferretwings  (<span style="color:#800020; font:bold 13px Comic Sans MS,Arial">talk ) 14:54, 18 August 2016 (UTC)

Regarding vandals and block time
If seen your edits on the admin board and as that is not a discussion forum, I decided to post here, I hope this is ok.
 * 1) It is useless to block an anonymous account (IP) for an indefinite time. IPs are usually changing at some point, from a few hours until weeks (depending mostly on the provider) of course there are static IPs but that should not be the rule here (the wiki).
 * 2) I wanted to direct you to the beginning of the admin board, where I found this (maybe useful):
 * Administrators: Indefinite blocks should generally not be used, except in cases of confirmed incessant spam bots. Blatantly malicious registered users with a clear intent to continue vandalizing should receive a 6-month to one-year block. When the intent to continue vandalizing is not completely apparent, or for non-vandalism cases that still require disciplinary action, use warnings and/or escalating block lengths, beginning with days or weeks.

and at last I wanted to say something about User:ObviousSnowflake, the user is obviously a vandal, but he is creative and knows how to use the wiki and he took some time to create the page. We should block him, sure but my suggestion would be one month and we try to convert him, could be useful. Flisch42 (talk) 22:50, 29 August 2016 (UTC)
 * My intent was to elicit a response from other admins who may have dealt with this sort of vandalism in the past. I realize that blocking the IP indefinitely may not be the best solution, as he could probably contact his provider and ask for a new IP (however, admins have done range blocks before). I was simply stating what I very much wanted to do, lol. I would never initiate such a block without the approval of at least one other admin ;)
 * As for our creative troll... he can do a lot of damage if he wants to. He clearly has the knowledge and time. Even with the block, he has access to his user page, if you'd like to leave him a message. – <span style="color:#00755E; font:bold 15px Comic Sans MS,Arial">Ferretwings  (<span style="color:#800020; font:bold 13px Comic Sans MS,Arial">talk ) 00:09, 30 August 2016 (UTC)
 * I've responded on the admin board. In short, don't worry about it, it seems like a pretty run of the mill vandal to me. As a personal note, I might be overstepping my bounds here, but I'm willing to wager that the content of some of these edits in particular is the cause of some of the trepidation in taking action against them. I'm reluctant to make too strong an assertion here, but I'll say this- there's nearly no correlation between length of block and severity of "punishment". Blocking users is a tool for deterrence and prevention, an action taken not against a user but (pardon the grandiose wording) in defense of the wiki- anyone who would be really broken up by the inability to contribute to the wiki for any length of time is likely a regular contributor you can talk an issue out with. If someone on a school computer puts the word "butt" on a page four hours before you catch it, they're probably not coming back, so a block of three hours or 300 years has the same weight. The main factor you should consider in determining block length is likelihood of return, and in most cases that probability is near zero.
 * As for the other user, I'm gonna recommend against pretty much any form of communication with a blocked user. Vandals are vandals, and commending them for their creativity is giving them the attention they're asking for. Recommend that they take their fan creations to the forums instead. If they're going to keep being antagonistic, then treat them as a vandal, but trying to 'convert' another user is ill-advised. Gearzein (talk) 01:12, 30 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks, that's pretty much what I thought. Put some space/time between the vandal and the wiki. Most IPs are never heard from again, so I don't block them. To me, both of these vandals seemed likely to return, but maybe during their "time out" they'll find another wiki to harass... I mean find some constructive way to spend their time and energy.
 * I guess my level of annoyance got a little high with these two vandals, which is why I proposed a longer block.

NPC sandbox
I noticed you're attempting to implement the debuff chance param. I wanted to point out the il2l template -- I'm not sure offhand whether it'll help, but it's meant to split text between two lines next to an icon, so it might be of use here. Might be easier than dealing with all the | table row stuff.

I believe it always applies a link to the icon, whereas buff links in the NPC infobox are not supposed to by default (debufflink=yes activates linking), but il2l could be tweaked to allow unlinking the icon.

Just a note, in case it helps. Equazcion ( talk ) 04:37, 12 Sep 2016 (UTC)

Main page changes
Remember that whenever you make changes to the main page, always mirror them to Terraria Wiki/editcopy. When they're out-of-sync it creates confusion when editors propose changes at the editcopy (non-admins can only edit the "editcopy"). Thanks :) Equazcion  ( talk ) 01:27, 13 Sep 2016 (UTC)
 * I was going to take care of that today, I guess I forgot. I went through the editcopy yesterday, and I think there was something I wanted to check on. Oh, I think somebody added to the enemy list.

 * Yeah basically just copy and paste, although leave the EditMainpage template at the top of editcopy -- that should generally be the only difference between the two. I already synced them up, so if there were changes missed from editcopy, they'll be a revision or two back in its history. Equazcion  ( talk ) 02:09, 13 Sep 2016 (UTC)

 * I can add you. How long have you been playing Terraria on the 3DS?

Sometimes I'm only on a couple of hours, and sometimes I feel like I'm on all day. Of course, I wouldn't be here if I didn't want to :) I've owned Terraria for a number of years, playing off and on. There are editors who've logged in much more game time than I have, and sometimes I leave edits alone because I have no clue if it's correct, lol. Because of your experience with the 3DS version, I'll add you to the list now. Good luck with Golem :) I haven't tackled him alone yet, only in multiplayer. I'm still stuck on Plantera. :/ – <span style="color:#00755E; font:bold 15px Comic Sans MS,Arial">Ferretwings  (<span style="color:#800020; font:bold 13px Comic Sans MS,Arial">talk ) 17:56, 6 November 2016 (UTC)


 * The easiest yet most simple way I beat Plantera is with a Clockwork Assault Rifle and Crystal Bullets.(though I didn't fight him until I had Chloryphyte Armor) I also built an arena that gives alot of space to move around.
 * This is where I got the idea to do everything: Terraria 1.2: How to Defeat Plantera! (UPDATED EASY SOLO GUIDE / TUTORIAL) [demize ], though I did things a little different.

Last Prism Trivia
You reverted an edit on the Last Prism page, which was saying: "Despite being called a prism, The Last Prism seems to be a triangular based pyramid." As I see it, the fact seems right, so I was wondering why you reverted it? I know the fact was removed before that, which I did not recognized until now. Here are two links to wikipedia Prism (geometry) and Optical Prism and both seem to confirm that the last prism is not a prism. Flisch42 (talk) 23:38, 24 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Optical prisms really have only three requirements: the object must be transparent, the faces must be flat and polished, and there must be an angle between two faces of the prism, in order to refract the light. I'm guessing that most prisms are crafted with a flat base and a flat top, because it is easier to calculate what the light will do when it enters the prism, it's not as easy when you are dealing with the multiple angles that a pyramid would give you. Or perhaps, they are simply easier to manufacture that way. If you google prism pyramids there are some out there, although very few. – <span style="color:#00755E; font:bold 15px Comic Sans MS,Arial">Ferretwings  (<span style="color:#800020; font:bold 13px Comic Sans MS,Arial">talk ) 06:13, 25 November 2016 (UTC)

 * I used the Rollback feature, and realize I should have used undo, with an explanation. That was an oops.

Infobox wrapper
I modified test to make it list infoboxes vertically. However this was before I realized you wanted it to be able to show them in horizontal rows also.

FYI I think what you were trying to do would basically make infobox wrapper no easier to use than just putting infoboxes in a table format manually. The intended use seems to try to replicate table behavior by taking in table codes and outputting table codes...? Unless I'm misunderstanding. It might be better to have a template where people can simply enter each infobox as a parameter and the template aligns them all vertically down the right of the page (as my version does currently). Equazcion ( talk ) 23:55, 26 Dec 2016 (UTC)
 * After walking away from it and coming back, I realized I had missed something, lol. The test template is now doing exactly what I was looking for, thanks :) To list the infoxes horizontally, all one needs to do is include multiple infoboxes in one parameter. – <span style="color:#00755E; font:bold 15px Comic Sans MS,Arial">Ferretwings  (<span style="color:#800020; font:bold 13px Comic Sans MS,Arial">talk ) 00:18, 27 December 2016 (UTC)

Gardening: Soil Farming versus Planter Box farming
The Potion and Seed Farm section of the Gardening page flat out says, "If looking to have many spare consumable potions, Soil Farming is the only known time efficient method of doing so."

Why is that?

Regardless of how efficient you are harvesting plants (with dart traps, actuators, conveyer belts, etc.), it still seems to me that you have to replant the herbs. That means running from one end to the other. And that means running back (unless you use a teleporter). So it seems about as fast to run one way, harvesting with the Staff of Regrowth, and to run back while replanting.

I personally find planter boxes much more compact and much easier to move around amongst, since they are platforms.

I think the main advantage of Soil Farming is its lower cost when starting out, compared with Planter Box farming.

Could that flat out statement be softened? DavidForthoffer (talk) 21:10, 31 December 2016 (UTC)

Awww thanks! Now, I should've told you this before, but the main reason why I signed up for this wiki and asked that question about NPCs with party hats because I various pixel arts of Terraria characters and whatnot.

Console version history - Old-gen won't get the reset
Hi, I'm one of the admins on Terraria Community Forums. It was recently brought to our attention that there is incorrect information in your recent edit of https://terraria.gamepedia.com/Console_Version_history.

The first entry there says that there will be a re-release of 1.2.4 for PS3/PS Vita/Xbox 360 by Pipeworks in Q2 2017. This is not so - there will be no further releases/updates for last-gen consoles. I believe you've misunderstood the information in the forum post you cited.

You can certainly contact a Re-Logic person (such as Loki) to confirm that, but I'm 99.9% certain those platforms are done with updates. TunnelKing (talk) 02:12, 26 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Oops, mistakes happen, I guess. I'm not Ferretwings, but I've gone ahead and (hopefully) fixed it now. – KM100 (talk) 03:24, 26 April 2017 (UTC)
 * At https://forums.terraria.org/index.php?threads/the-path-ahead-major-news-updates-for-console-mobile.47156/ it clearly states "Old Gen players will have to purchase a Current Gen copy" which I took to mean that the retail copy would include the reset, but not 1.3. Did they clarify it further down in the thread? – <span style="color:#00755E; font:bold 15px Comic Sans MS,Arial">Ferretwings (<span style="color:#800020; font:bold 13px Comic Sans MS,Arial">talk ) 12:51, 26 April 2017 (UTC)

That post has a lot of info in it, I can see how it can be confusing.

https://forums.terraria.org/index.php?threads/the-path-ahead-major-news-updates-for-console-mobile.47156/#Oldgen

This part of the post talks about the old gen consoles, and clearly states that those devices will no longer receive updates past the final bug fixes to be released by Engine in September 2016 (which I think were the ones released in August 2016). Old-gen owners will be able to play this version until their device dies, it just won't get updates. As to whether old-gen console users will still be able to purchase this version going forward - I have no info on that; I think it's mainly up to the console manufacturers on that point.

https://forums.terraria.org/index.php?threads/the-path-ahead-major-news-updates-for-console-mobile.47156/#Currentgen

The intent of the part you cite from this section is that old-gen players must purchase a new copy of the game for a new-gen console to get the 1.3 content and beyond. There won't be a 'new' release from Pipeworks that will only be 1.2.4 for old-gen consoles. Prior purchase of a version for old-gen does not grant them a free copy for a new-gen device - if they want to 'upgrade', they'll have to purchase a new copy.

I hope this clears up any confusion, and as I said before, you can always contact someone at Re-Logic to confirm that. My position at the forum is as a volunteer, so I can't speak for them officially. TunnelKing (talk) 20:01, 26 April 2017 (UTC)


 * Thanks for clearing that up. I hadn't considered that some current-gen console users may be running old-gen versions of the game. They probably should have worded it a little differently.

I want to be an admin but i dont have twitch i have been blocked once i didnt do anything that bad and i was a new editer then so can i be admin i will block any vandiliser that has been reported over 3 times
 * I'm glad to see you helping out on the wiki :). If you'd like to become an admin, first you need to create a Gamepedia account (or Twitch I suppose). Afterwards, you'll need to make quite a number of good edits to the wiki. It could be months before we decide you are a good candidate for an admin position. Of course we don't expect you to be perfect, but good grammar and spelling, and a decent knowledge of the game are necessary. – <span style="color:#00755E; font:bold 15px Comic Sans MS,Arial">Ferretwings (<span style="color:#800020; font:bold 13px Comic Sans MS,Arial">talk ) 13:21, 9 June 2017 (UTC)

Ferretwings: Are you any good with gifs? I have the software, but upon uploading it to the site, it seems to have an issue with the background. Shadowjared24 (talk) 19:50, 12 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Nevermind. I finally got it to work. Shadowjared24 (talk) 19:54, 12 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Know I have another Issue: the gif stops at the last frame and freezes. Do you know how to correct this? Shadowjared24 (talk) 20:09, 12 June 2017 (UTC)
 * It's been a while since I've done gifs. You'll probably need to tinker with the software a bit. Can you erase the background? It appears to be white. Also, which software are you using? – <span style="color:#00755E; font:bold 15px Comic Sans MS,Arial">Ferretwings (<span style="color:#800020; font:bold 13px Comic Sans MS,Arial">talk ) 21:09, 12 June 2017 (UTC)
 * I finally got it to work. It took a lot of playing around. SpriteMaker isn't very User friendly. I'll probably get some other program instead. It was requiring a Background. I tried to change the black to white to at least make it look better, but as for removing it, that will take more work. So far I am still at a loss. Thanks though.

 * Could you perhaps use a solid background? Most editors use a plain stone wall, which seems to be just dark enough for demonstrating light-emitting weapons. Also, if you make the test area a little bigger, we can get a better feel for the weapon's range.

Master Template Luminite and the Mobile version
As you may have noticed, I have been messing around with the Mobile version and Template:Master Template Luminite pages. The Master Template Luminite template's function (hopefully) will be to combine the functions of, , , , and. I definitely messed up somewhere in the code, so would you be able to fix it?

Also, I may have found a bug in history: when multiple history templates have a version variable set, all of them have a section header. Is this intentional, or is it a bug? —<span style="color:#00BFF; font:bold 15px Papyrus, Arial">ϟAwesome_Diamondsϟ (talk) 12:52, 23 October 2017 (UTC)
 * The version parameter is only used to display the heading for the platform, so only use it on the top history entry. I can see how this could be confusing.
 * Perhaps I should have it used separately, before each list of platform entries? like this?->
 * {history|version=console}}
 * {history|Console ###|patched again}}
 * {history|Console ###|patched}}
 * {history|Console ###|Introduced.}}

 * Edit: I just realized that that would completely defeat the purpose of having the parameter. (requiring an extra line break and basically takes as much work as adding a header) —<span style="font:bold 15px Papyrus, Arial"> ϟ Awesome_Diamonds  ϟ  「talk」 01:01, 25 October 2017 (UTC)
 * True, it would require one more line. However, since entries are placed from bottom to top (the earliest entry being on the bottom), the way it is currently, with each new entry added, the version parameter would need to be erased from what was the top entry and placed in the new top entry. If the line with the header is separated from the other lines, the parameter would never need to be moved.
 * The point of having the header line as part of the template is to create uniformity from page to page. – <span style="color:#00755E; font:bold 15px Comic Sans MS,Arial">Ferretwings (<span style="color:#800020; font:bold 13px Comic Sans MS,Arial">talk ) 02:09, 26 October 2017 (UTC)
 * That is a good reason to keep the header (and also bots may find it difficult to edit if the new code above isn’t implemented). Speaking of headers though, maybe there could be a master history template which would work like this:

Awesome_Diamonds 12:09, 3 November 2017 (UTC)

And the actual inside code would be: —<span style="font:bold 15px Papyrus, Arial"> ϟ Awesome_Diamonds  ϟ  「talk」 12:17, 3 November 2017 (UTC)


 * Interesting idea. I need to see how it would affect a dpl I was working on. – <span style="color:#00755E; font:bold 15px Comic Sans MS,Arial">Ferretwings (<span style="color:#800020; font:bold 13px Comic Sans MS,Arial">talk ) 05:08, 5 November 2017 (UTC)
 * I changed up history/sandbox and added a detector for headers using variables. Basically, a "version=" parameter can be input on every single history line and only one header would display. This could cause over-clutter in-code however, or just plain inconvenient extra typing. Below is an example:

Profile Comment
Hey Ferretwings, I don't know if you saw my comment or not on your Profile, but I havn't heard back from you. Also, I have a question about files in user sandboxes. If a user hasn't edited in a very long time, is it alright to move a file without creating a redirect? Thanks, – ReedemtheD3ad!  ( talk ) 03:23, 2 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I needed a break :). I assume you found a sandbox page that looked fit to be added to the wiki? If that is the case, you should leave a redirect, and a note on the redirect page explaining the move. The editor may or may not be back... if they do return, they may want to know where their work went. – <span style="color:#00755E; font:bold 15px Comic Sans MS,Arial">Ferretwings (<span style="color:#800020; font:bold 13px Comic Sans MS,Arial">talk ) 01:08, 30 December 2017 (UTC)

 * The bottom list looks a little cleaner. lol, it took quite a while to get that table to blend in, and you had to go simplify it. :) – <span style="color:#00755E; font:bold 15px Comic Sans MS,Arial">Ferretwings (<span style="color:#800020; font:bold 13px Comic Sans MS,Arial">talk ) 22:50, 23 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Haha, sorry about that. Thank you for you hard work nonetheless! :-) On a side note I think I'll remove these collapsible tables and refer to the page history instead. When the page is loaded they are initially open and then collapse, causing the page to 'jump' a bit. Well, for me at least. NoseOfCthulhu (talk) 00:50, 29 March 2018 (UTC)

Template:Npc_infobox/de drop problems
Hey there! I translated the "Npc infobox" template into German today by looking at the French source code (since the English one seems to be using a lot of CSS and I thought it would suffice creating a simpler code that results in the same design). Now they require a sub-template (same as Template:Npc infobox/drop) which is quite useful, managing the sometimes quite long list of drops and the grouping really well. That's why I decided a sub-template would be best for the German version of "Npc infobox" as well. However, there's something wrong the feature of grouping: The bottom line of the last item in the group does not appear correctly (see Wall of Flesh/de for reference) and I can't figure out why. Just testing out a few things and understanding what effect they have is not really possible since it's a template so I'd like to ask you kindly if you could have a quick look into it and understand what is wrong there. Thanks in advance! :) --Rye Greenwood (talk) 15:57, 10 June 2018 (UTC)
 * So, a few weeks later and I was able to solve that particular issue (finally got to translating the original English Template:Npc infobox), and I am quite happy about the result. Unfortunately, however, there seems to be a new error: At the top of the infobox, just above the "Type" statistics, the text "  }} " appears (take Skeletron/de as an example). It is rather obvious where that comes from, looking at the source code of the template: The three lines 84-86 (in "section statistics", between "type" and "environment") are exactly identical to the unwanted output. I tested a handful of tweaks but none resulted on the desired output. This seems very strange to me, since those characters are actually functional in the template and not some kind of "leftover braces" and in the English original, which literally contains exactly the same code (at least in that enclosed section), everything works fine. If this was not enough of a mystery yet, there is one page (Wall of Flesh/de) on which only two braces are displayed (instead of the "   }} ") - although the syntax of the input is similar to the other pages.

 * I'm sorry I didn't get back to you sooner... I took a break from editing, but I'm back now. I'll take a look at the template and see if I can't figure out why it's doing that. – <span style="color:#00755E; font:bold 15px Comic Sans MS,Arial">Ferretwings (<span style="color:#800020; font:bold 13px Comic Sans MS,Arial">talk ) 04:29, 15 July 2018 (UTC)
 * I might have fixed it, there was unmatched pair of curly braces in debuff2 handling. 86.115.19.146 08:33, 15 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks a lot to both of you for your assistance! It makes me very happy that the infobox is now working like a charm, it looks great! Really, thank you! I am not too used to working with dpl variables or dpl in general yet, so I hope you do not mind if I might have to request your help once more in the future. Glad to see you back at editing! --Rye Greenwood (talk) 10:10, 15 July 2018 (UTC)

item infobox/sandbox
Just an fyi, switching pages to use item infobox/sandbox, "breaks" dpl that use params from regular item infobox, forcing them to try to use /dpl.default subpages that usually don't exist, which causes visible errors. I switched terra blade back to regular infobox(since there didn't seem to be relevant output difference), as part of a swords page dpl fix, but there's still north pole page that uses sandbox variant, and some other pages that use infobox/sandbox1, although I don't know if they're listed by dpl on any page. 86.115.19.146 12:10, 18 June 2018 (UTC)

Spider minions
Some time before you fixed an edit in armor page, with spider armor set bonus as you said "unnecessary edit". I wanna tell you that info placed on wiki (full spider armor set gives additional spider minion) is false, and was fixed on their pages (Spider Armor one doesn't metion that, as it shouldn't, and Spider Staff explains why you can summon more spiders)

If you don't belive me, go on and test for your own with Imps, Spides, Spider Armor and Bee Armor (with and without the Bewitching Table)

I did my testing, and it shown that:

1. With Bee armor (without table) I can sumon 3 imps or 3 spiders.

2. With Bee armor (with table) I can summon 4 imps or 5 spides(!).

3. With Spider armor (without table) I can summon 4 imps or 5 spiders(!).

4. With Spider armor (with table) I can summon 5 imps or 6 spiders.

Hope information from my tests shown enough, don't belive me, test yourself.

 * I'll need to check the source code to see how it's being handled. The images you uploaded don't show the minions; a simple image with you in armor, and all your minions out would have been better. btw, your edit to the Armor page added a bunch of code to the table... was it intended? If not, were you using Visual Editor?– <span style="color:#00755E; font:bold 15px Comic Sans MS,Arial">Ferretwings (<span style="color:#800020; font:bold 13px Comic Sans MS,Arial">talk ) 19:05, 3 August 2018 (UTC)


 * If I added every picture with minions instead of statues that would be a long mess. About added code I didn't knwo cuz I know only info I need to change, not realy how to, and I forgot what I was using
 * sorry if I cause too much problem --Some Dude (talk) 19:25, 3 August 2018 (UTC)


 * No problem, i tested it myself and confirm that it's not a armor-based effect. This comes after using the Stardust armor with all accessories-related minion capacity equipped and bewitching table, which spawned 13 spiders. Didn't test crows but it would have been 11 of them with the equipment detailed above. Murrayzero (talk) 20:18, 3 August 2018 (UTC)


 * This means you that you'll be with me to keep info about spiders correct,right? If so, that cool, if not, i guess I'll have to win this war alone. --Some Dude (talk) 20:31, 3 August 2018 (UTC)


 * Yes. I tested for proof and this is what i had: even with spooky armor i had 1 more spider than expected. I'll wait for Ferretwing answer before proceeding to remove that outdated info, for now. Murrayzero (talk) 20:33, 3 August 2018 (UTC)


 * Also small explanation of summoning process which I found out durring testing, player by default has 1 minion cell, every item which gives more minions gives more cells.
 * when you try to summon, game checks if you have at least 1 free cell, if yes summons minion consuming that free cell, if no it resummons last summoned minion.
 * and with spiders (example of bee armor with 3 total cells) you can only summon 3 spiders even thou you theoreticly summon one more (3-(3*0.75=2.25)=0.75) but because game can't find 1 free cell, it resummons last summoned spider instead. Also I hope :ReLogic doesn't fix this, cuz I dumped alot of time into those spiders and care about info being correct, also they're odd one out from all the minions (except twins, meaby). --Some Dude (talk) 22:10, 3 August 2018 (UTC)


 * Can you tell me where you found that in the code? I need to check how it handles rounding.– <span style="color:#00755E; font:bold 15px Comic Sans MS,Arial">Ferretwings (<span style="color:#800020; font:bold 13px Comic Sans MS,Arial">talk ) 23:14, 3 August 2018 (UTC)


 * Nothing about the code, just manual testing, and ideas that came to mind which best fit the situation. --Some Dude (talk) 04:41, 4 August 2018 (UTC)

code template tests
Can I have a look at your tests? My guess is that you had = in the code you were trying to highlight, and didn't covert it to =, which makes parser treat that parameter as named. 86.115.19.146 06:50, 12 August 2018 (UTC)

Re: Potions Graphic
(reference) The graphic is intended to be viewed on its own tab, in which case it's fine to read. As far as I can tell, the font is about the same size as on the other graphic. Sure, I can add flasks. Unfortunately, they'll (likely) have to have their own category, rather than falling into the existing ones. This is because the graphic was not made by hand but instead generated semi-automatically via this. Adding potions to existing categories and keeping the pixel-perfect regular placement of the images would take more work than just adding a new category.

Edit: flasks added. --Quelklef (talk) 13:33, 9 September 2018 (UTC)

Bone key discussion
Before I just go and edit what you did I want to talk to you about it first, respectfully, and ask that you understand why i would. The key does not have any look-alike to the key that it is referring to, i also looked up “old fashioned key” like you suggested and found none, that were similar. I would like to ask you to either edit “old fashioned key”, OR delete your said comment, as i find it has no value to the Video game “Terraria” I hope im being respectful, im not going to just DO IT ( again ), i am explaining it more thoroughly, and i wish for you to understand. ( I also have the same concern over the “fart in a jar” london plague reference, as i dont see how it is concerned with “Terraria”. ( on any system )

i am not here to embarrass you, but it seems you did to me when redacting my “bone key”edit. Again i feel the reference had no part of the game( Terraria) but just to be useless info that helps no one “inside” the game of Terraria ( as it has nothing to do with it). I will edit it again if i am not responded to in kind by 3 days( 10:00 Thursday ) I believe that is an adequate time for you to respond.

 * The Trivia section is often used to associate Terraria items with real-life items. You will find many instances of this on the wiki. Often, it will be described where the original name is derived from. The Trivia section will never help the player with the game; all helpful information is found under Notes and Tips. If you ever find Trivia that helps you with your gameplay, please move it under Tips.
 * Skeleton keys do not look like regular keys, as they do not have a serrated blade. They only have the bow (grip/handle) and the bit protruding from the end of the blade. In some skeleton keys, the bit is protruding from the middle of the blade. The Bone Key's blade is not serrated, and only has a small bit protruding from the end of the blade, therefore it is akin to a skeleton key. – <span style="color:#00755E; font:bold 15px Comic Sans MS,Arial">Ferretwings (<span style="color:#800020; font:bold 13px Comic Sans MS,Arial">talk ) 12:56, 7 May 2019 (UTC)

BIG THANKS TO ALL WHO CONTRIBUTED TO THE TERRARIA WIKI
Sneezeblessu (talk) 11:18, 16 March 2020 (UTC) Sneezeblessu (talk) 11:18, 16 March 2020 (UTC)Hello there!

I just wanted to say a huge thank you to anyone and everyone who contributed to the terraria wiki. It has honestly been so helpful and I'm amazed by how detailed and extensive it is! I'm sorry if this is the wrong place to be showing my gratitude! I've been looking around trying to find ways to contact anyone who may have added to the content here just to say that I appreciate what they've done! Seems you are the only admin under the title "content team member" so I thought it would be best to type this here. If you know anyone else who contributed please let them know I appreciate them! If this was an inappropriate area for me to write this go ahead and delete it!

I hope you all have a wonderful day. Sneezeblessu (talk) 11:18, 16 March 2020 (UTC)

I'm new, making sure I didn't do anything wrong.
Hey, I was the one who added that Trivia section to the Snake Charmer's Flute, I wasn't logged in at the time, just making sure I didn't do anything wrong since the IP was blocked and the change was marked as vandalism. I'm sorry if what I did was marked as such, I really wasn't trying to vandalize or anything. Yellowninja238 (talk) 17:21, 25 May 2020 (UTC)

Reverted edits
May I ask specifically what was wrong with my edits that warranted reversion? One trivia point didn't make sense and the other was unfounded and even had another point below it arguing against it. Why keep them? Bioness (talk) 00:18, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
 * It is called a Wet Bomb, not a Water Bomb, correct? And it places "water", not "wet"? And what the other bombs place is part of their names, correct? Therefor, how is this incorrect?
 * The Wet Bomb, inconsistently, is not named "Water Bomb", even though its counterparts share the name of the liquids they spread.
 * I believe the other trivia was correct as well. The surface of Terraria is almost completely land, while the surface of Earth is mostly water. Of course, most games are like this (but not all), but that does not mean that the trivia is incorrect.
 * Please explain how the various trivia are incorrect? — Ferretwings, Wiki Specialist 18:45, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
 * - Because Wet and Dry are opposites, which is mostly likely why it was called wet and not water. That "trivia" also ignores the Dry Bomb, how does one place "Dry"? There are also only 4 bombs, that is a sample size of nothing. 50% of bombs having similar names is not a pattern, it is just names. The trivia was not consistently applied which is why I think it fails as trivia.
 * - For the "Not Earth" "trivia", water is on both sides of the game world of Terraria, which implies it is a landmass surrounded by water, not a landmass with two tiny bodies of water on both ends. Also in the Ocean backgrounds we see multiple distance islands and mountains disconnected from the game world, which further implies the game world we are in is not the entire world. I also take issue with the fact that the "trivia" itself is contradicted by another bullet point below it. There should not be arguments over trivia, trivia should be useful or insightful information not ineffective surface level guesses. You pointed out yourself that most games aren't full of water, are we arguing every game not at least 71% water isn't on Earth? Having said all that, none of what I said matters because whether Terraria is set on Earth or not does not matter. The entire premise of the trivia is pointless and the "evidence" it uses is nonsense. It is also in the page about Water, rather than the World or Biome page, which makes it even less meaningful.
 * - In summary: Wet/Dry, only 4 bombs, not rules are inconsistent not the names, and Terraria not being on Earth doesn't matter, but even if it did, it doesn't make logical sense in the way it is presented.
 * - On a more personal note, I don't have many edits on this wiki, but tend to edit a lot of wikis as I play the games. Of the wikis I have edited, most have had higher thresholds for cogency on what is considered trivia or useful information to keep. You're an admin for the Terraria wiki, so ultimately if you decide what I have to say isn't persuasive enough, I will accept your decision and refrain from applying my personal standards to the Terraria pages.

Question
Why is it that so many pages are exactly like their wiki.gg counterparts, including the Shellphone page, when the wiki.gg wiki is the official Terraria wiki, whereas this one ceased to be the official one for a while now? GammaRaul (talk) 03:10, 29 September 2022 (UTC)


 * If you are referring to the 1.4.4 update, there aren't many pages added yet. Right now, much of the new info is bare bones. If you want to tweak any pages to individualize them, feel free. Over time, as editors add notes and tips, the two wikis will diverge again, but the main structure of the pages will likely be the same on both wikis. — Ferretwings, Wiki Specialist 03:54, 29 September 2022 (UTC)

Wiki Rep
Hi Ferretwings, I'm the new Terraria Wiki wiki rep, so feel free to let me know if your admin team could use any support! I'll let the other active admins know I'm here as well. -Saunt3D (talk) 17:59, 26 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Quick follow-up - If you get the chance, I would like to recommend setting up the new mobile skin. There are some minor color contrast issues that could be cleaned up, and then the mobile skin activated. It only takes a few seconds since the tool automatically recommends nearby colors within ideal contrast ranges, and this way you can have it perfect before the mobile skin rolls out across Fandom! -Saunt3D (talk) 22:02, 27 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Welcome! It is so good to have a Wiki Rep again! 🙂 I understand you probably have a couple hundred wikis to look after, so having you here is greatly appreciated. I was a bit fretful after they fired Mr. Pie, that it appeared Terraria Wiki had been left to blow in the wind like a tumbleweed. All the other admins left with the fork, leaving me a bit lonely here. Terraria recently had a medium update, and I only get 20 paid hours per week as a WS, so it's been a bit rough. There are a couple of editors I'm keeping an eye on, to see if they would make good candidates for admin.


 * I'll look into the mobile skin. I have a lot on my plate right now, lol. — Ferretwings, Wiki Specialist 05:02, 3 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Terraria is actually one of my priority wikis, so I can tell Fandom wanted to make sure someone was here. Though, I would have requested it myself if it wasn't already going to be assigned to me. I've logged more hours in Terraria than I care to admit! -Saunt3D (talk) 06:52, 3 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Hey, I know it hasn't been too long since we last spoke, but how strongly do you feel about your admin candidates? What are you looking for at the moment? -Saunt3D (talk) 15:46, 7 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Sad0atmeal09876 has been very helpful, but has only been editing for 2 weeks now. I had an ip for a while that I wanted to reach out to and ask that they create a user account, as they were really quite good. Unfortunately, ip talk pages are not very effective. One admin I promoted fairly recently is not fully familiar with the wiki layout and page formats, but he's good at coding. I'm hoping in a couple of weeks, I'll have a clearer picture. When I first became admin, I had been editing actively for 4 months. I'm not sure I have the luxury to wait quite that long to promote somebody.


 * I guess I'm looking for somebody good at editing (and grammar) and willing to follow the page style already set in place (which can be seen by visiting just about any old page). Most editors don't do this, and just go free-style. Access to the game code would be a plus, but I've got that, and the code is a mess.


 * I think my project this week will be to update all the recipe pages (already started), as those can only be edited by an admin. Followed by making sure all the new pages have an intro, infobox, and history section. Followed by uploading images. — Ferretwings, Wiki Specialist ( talk ) 20:47, 7 November 2022 (UTC)


 * All right, sounds pretty good. It could help fast-track things to suggest an admin track to Sad0atmeal directly. You could see if they're interested in what adminship entails, and then see how well they can get on board with any of these aspects that they haven't explored yet. just a thought. Anyway, I'll leave you to it! -Saunt3D (talk) 22:33, 7 November 2022 (UTC)


 * I just contacted them on discord and asked if they would be interested, and they said yes. I'll make a post on their wall to make the discussion official. — Ferretwings, Wiki Specialist ( talk ) 01:45, 2 December 2022 (UTC)


 * Sounds great! -Saunt3D (talk) 02:03, 2 December 2022 (UTC)


 * How would one accomplish a fast-track? — Ferretwings, Wiki Specialist ( talk ) 02:07, 2 December 2022 (UTC)


 * By "fast-track" I just meant reaching out and suggesting a path to adminship as opposed to waiting to see how it goes, in the hopes that the suggestion could lead to demonstrating one's passion for a healthy wiki community and get any questions asked and answered, and as a result speed up the path to adminship. -Saunt3D (talk) 02:16, 2 December 2022 (UTC)

Mobile Theming
Hello again! I'm not sure if I recommended this to anyone here already, but I want to recommend the mobile theming update.

I think this user is impersonating an admin
Hello, my name is Alway, I am from the backrooms wiki and this user “Cornollia” is claiming to be an admin from this wiki. I am sorry if this is not the right place to post this how this all works as you guys do not have message walls. I just wanted to let you know that this has happened and I am not sure if this user is for real or is just trying to get to us. She is also requesting to be a moderator there and I am not sure why as looking at your staff pages, I do not see her name.

No, I am not a moderator nor am I an admin but this is a decently serious issue as if they do end up trying to persuade our admin, we might be in a ton of trouble. ALwaysWand3ringg (talk) 21:54, 10 November 2022 (UTC)


 * I checked, and "Cornollia" has only one single edit on the whole Fandom site. Can you give me a link to where they are claiming to be an admin here? — Ferretwings, Wiki Specialist ( talk ) 01:09, 11 November 2022 (UTC)


 * [] ALwaysWand3ringg (talk) 01:13, 11 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Thanks! I'm sorry it took so long to respond. I suppose it is possible that they changed their username. And their email address, lol, because the only username attached to that email address is Cornollia. I left them a message on their wall. If they respond, I'll be able to sort it out, otherwise I'll let the admins at Backrooms handle it. — Ferretwings, Wiki Specialist ( talk ) 01:59, 29 November 2022 (UTC)

Discussions/Article Comments
If you haven't seen this yet, I bet it's something that would work well for the Terraria community. Terraria is quite a social game, after all. Discussions on Gamepedia -Saunt3D (talk) 06:28, 13 December 2022 (UTC)


 * Interesting. I feel we would need a number of moderators to make it work. I've seen some wikis where it got a bit out of hand, and moderators had to step in. The potential for a lot of spam is rather high.
 * I'm still on the lookout for potential admins &mdash; if you ever come across an editor that looks promising, let me know. — Ferretwings, Wiki Specialist ( talk ) 07:08, 16 December 2022 (UTC)


 * As I recall you were looking at SadOatmeal. Did that fall through? You're certainly more active on the wiki than I am - though, I do actually visit the wiki in my off hours now and then as a Terraria player myself - but I'll let you know if I notice anyone. As for the Discussions, that's definitely true. There's a new Discussions abuse filter we can activate as well, which can be customized by admins, so the risk of adding Discussions may be reduced by that. Plus, once Discussions get rolling, it's likely there will be potential thread moderators among the rest of the participants, so it could work out very nicely. Those are just my thoughts on the matter. It's still true that it would likely be a bit of work to get it going properly. -Saunt3D (talk) 01:38, 18 December 2022 (UTC)
