Admin?
You've been a great help, and I'd like to make you an admin. Let me know if you are interested and/or if you have questions (via a reply here). — Ferretwings, Wiki Specialist ( talk ) 14:56, 11 September 2023 (UTC)


 * Hi, I'm not familiar with Gamepedia-exclusive stuff (like the Cargo extension), but I hope it couldn't prevent me from editing. I have an access to the source code of Terraria, so I hope it could help with creating new templates and modules. Is there a place like Community Noticeboard, where admins could suggest/ask active contributors about new features for the wiki? — [ https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/terraria/images/4/45/%D0%93%D0%B8%D0%B4.png/revision/latest?cb=20230204123035&path-prefix=ru] BotAntony   15:10, 11 September 2023 (UTC)


 * There is a lot of learning on the job as an admin. Many of my own Cargo queries don't work, which is driving me nuts. Our Cargo expert left, as did our Lua expert. I was the DPL semi-expert, and between the 3 of us, we kept the wiki running pretty smoothly. As you have noticed, our wiki relies heavily on databases. Now I'm learning how to do their jobs as well, and it's taking some time.
 * We have brought on admins that have other specialties and resources to offer (not too many recently). Understanding the C spaghetti code that Terraria runs on is a plus. The main qualification for admin is, can we trust you? I have looked at your edits, and yes, I trust you. If you make a mistake, just fix it or undo it. You can create test modules and templates to try out new code. You may want to create pages in your userspace if you brainstorm ideas (I actually need to clean out my own userspace because 90% of it will never be used).
 * The obvious place to post wiki suggestions would be Terraria Wiki:Community noticeboard, but there is also Terraria Wiki:List of proposed changes. I should probably add that to the wiki navigation at the top.
 * Any proposed changes that might go against Fandom's policies should be brought up with our wiki rep Saunt3D (talk). He can advise and give suggestions. — Ferretwings, Wiki Specialist ( talk ) 17:43, 11 September 2023 (UTC)
 * If you think that I can be be an admin, I would be glad to help. Also I want to set up interlanguage links using Template:Language info on the ru section, so the admin rights could be kinda useful. — [ https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/terraria/images/4/45/%D0%93%D0%B8%D0%B4.png/revision/latest?cb=20230204123035&path-prefix=ru] BotAntony   18:41, 11 September 2023 (UTC)


 * Welcome to the team! If you see something that needs improving, feel free to jump right in :). If you feel you don't have the right skills, just make a note of it. — Ferretwings, Wiki Specialist ( talk ) 21:08, 11 September 2023 (UTC)
