Ore
Under items do you think we could redirect Ore and Special Blocks to just Ore? -Shadowclaimer 18:07, 18 May 2011 (UTC)
 * The Ore page doesn't really serve the same purpose as Ores and Special Blocks. I would prefer to see Ores and Special Blocks expanded.-- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  18:10, 18 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Hmm hadn't noticed they were all just flat lists like that, thought they linked to full pages on the category of items, my apologies. -Shadowclaimer 18:13, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

Slime
Under "Monsters", it lists Slime as well as Blue Slime AND Mother Slime. I suggest removing Blue and Mother and just letting the Slime article handle them all. --FungusTrooper 13:06, 19 May 2011 (UTC)
 * You can make changes to Terraria_Wiki/editcopy. If approved, and administrator will sync them as appropriate. -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  13:47, 19 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Sorry to be a pain, I can see the main page has been updated, but there are still two Meteor Heads right next to each other in the monster list :( --FungusTrooper 18:28, 19 May 2011 (UTC)

NPC Icon
Can I upload a resized version of the updated icon I uploaded previously? I can scale it to whatever size is necessary. That blurry and outdated icon looks awful.


 * I agree. Let him, or use http://wiki.terrariaonline.com/File:Guidenpc.png . - AgentShawn

Game controls
Where are the Game Controls wiki page? I only know the ESC key, WASD, 1-9 and left mouse button What does the other keys?
 * There isn't one... so create it :D -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  19:00, 21 May 2011 (UTC)

I created Game controls. If you could expand the article it can be linked from the Main Page

"Did you Know" Section
Do you think a possible Did-You-Know section can get on the front page? We can allow it to obtain user-submitted facts and allow 10 or so at a time through a period of time. Not to mention, a featured article page might be interesting too.

Terraria Weapon Overview
Hey all, basically I started a new series on youtube where I take a look at weapons in terraria, give info on their stats etc and give you a verdict on it. The first episode Sunfury is currently on the Sunfury page as somebody suggested I should put these on the wiki. However after putting it on their I thought I should check first, just want to make sure people are fine with these going up. An example of the Sunfury episode is shown here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZYzp2y-9Zo&feature=channel_video_title

Mining Techniques:
I made a page called Guide:Mining_Techniques, I was wondering if anybody had something to add before it (hopefully) goes on the main page? --ThePalindrome 23:36, 27 May 2011 (UTC)
 * It will take a bit more development before it gets a main page link, but keep up the great work! -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  23:39, 27 May 2011 (UTC)

News
How about changing news to be like the other categories instead of just listing a few random bullets, and getting rid of the very tiny "more news" link. The first link could be "Recent News" and have all those things we have now related to internet reviews and steam, etc. The second could be a "Recent Developer Remarks" section that contains all these random Red/Blue snippets we have all over the wiki about "what we plan on adding in the next few weeks." Then we could get rid of all these random one liners that are hidden away on several item pages and put them all in one news section (for example, the ones on all the different biomes). A third could then be patch and content history. --440Music 28 May 2011

Merge sections
I suggest to merge Soils with Ores_and_Special_Blocks and move Gems to Miscellaneous section. --RND 14:26, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

Blurry sprites
All of the sprites on the main page are scaled and blurry. Could someone fix that? Qbicfeet 15:44, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

Player Stats
I've created a page called Player stats.

I think it would be a nice addition under "The Game" main category on the main page. Other things like melee attack speed, mana depletion rates, and/or damage to health could also go there. --440Music 05:48, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

New Version
Time to fix it the front page, it's 1.0.3 now

Link to new version log: http://www.terrariaonline.com/threads/1-0-3-change-log.19653/   --Cloakedboltz 22:10, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

Quick Edit - Broken Link
There's a broken link at the bottom of the page that links to Terraria Wiki

Some suggestions
Stuff I can't do as an anonymous contributor and which would require building some consensus first anyway:
 * Add a link to version history. I'd suggest changing
 * Latest Version is 1.0.3

into
 * Latest Version is 1.0.3


 * Add a link to the list of known bugs, and one to the proposed Guide:Guides portal page (which would be more visible than the list of guides in the sidebar); probably in the "The Game" section which at the moment contains direct links to three of the guides. --The preceding unsigned comment was added by 88.141.47.199 (talk).
 * You can make your suggested changes to the Terraria Wiki/editcopy page. That's what it's there for. -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  20:22, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

Add Jungle
Jungle is not displayed in the Environments section. --Cloakedboltz 19:20, 10 June 2011 (UTC)
 * It is now, per the time of this post. --Cloakedboltz 20:53, 10 June 2011 (UTC)

All the slight variations…
moved to Terraria Wiki Talk:Community portal

Dr. Bones
Dr. Bones's link should be renamed to Doctor Bones -- Kalilla 05:35, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Use the Terraria Wiki/editcopy to suggest changes to the main page please. You can edit that one. -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  05:36, 11 June 2011 (UTC)

"Latest version is 1.0.4"
Hey guys, is it possible you can edit this line so the "1.0.4" text links to the relevant section of the Version page, rather than to the forum-published changelog. Reason being, most visitors to the Wiki that click on "1.0.4", like myself, are likely doing so for a Wiki-text version of the changelog, complete with links to the relevant pages; it gives the same information, but provides a more friendly experience by keeping things interconnected in the Wiki.

I also think it would be a good idea to shift that "Latest version" extract to a template, so that anybody can update it quickly as soon as an update it shipped.

Thanks, RJackson 12:43, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
 * The word Version is linked to the Version history page. The 1.0.4 is linked to the forum. You can suggest changes on the Terraria Wiki/editcopy page that is not protected. -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  12:46, 11 June 2011 (UTC)

Monsters section
Why not just put Monster? Use   (or includeonly, cant remember) in that said article (to exclude its categories and any other things we don't want in the main page) and in the main page just put Monster. This way we don't have to wait someone with admin privileges to update the main page. yeh 06:57, 24 June 2011 (UTC)
