Question Re: Data IDs
Hi, i'm the bureaucrat/sysop of the spanish wiki of Terraria.I got a question regarding items/creatures ID's. How do you get ID's in the game?

 * Hello Supernal Chief,
 * If I am understanding your question correctly, you want to know how to get into the games coding to view the item IDs? If so, I am afraid I don't know how to do that, and when I need IDs, I look elsewhere to find the numbers. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Interwiki
Hello Squazzil, I'm working on the PT-BR version of Terraria's wiki and I would like to have your permission to link that wiki with yours to allow the use of Interwiki links. Lin coln  Speak!  15:00, February 1, 2017 (UTC)

Boss Help Page
Hello Squazzil,

I am sending this message to ask if I/we could make a page specifically for help on beating bosses. I am only asking because information/help/strategies are on the page of the boss itself, but I am seeing lots of talk pages on the forum of people asking how to beat certain bosses, mainly the destroyer. I wanted this page to be on the forum to help out other players who are in a struggle. I know that some bosses are not much of a challenge to anyone, but I thought it would be helpful without multiple forum pages being made for problems with one boss.

 * Hello DeltaRed12,


 * You are certainly welcome to start a new thread and create a strategy guide to place in the Game Help board of the forums. While I don't think it will eliminate some people still creating threads asking for help, I'm sure a thorough guide could help some people who are looking for tips. It is true that there are strategies and gear recommendations on each boss page, so perhaps you could try to offer some more in depth descriptions, pics of arena setups etc. to make your guide worthwhile. Just to be clear though, you'd be starting a thread in the forums, and not a main page article. I hope you enjoy making your guide, and let me know if you need help with anything.

Help for another wiki? Templates n such
Hi! My wiki is the Kingdom the Game Wiki, and I'm trying to set up some nice templates around. (Call me a newbie administrator.) I'm trying to get the same kind of thing you have on this template, but I don't understand what I'm missing. I've got the base navbox template set up, and... well I think I'm doing everything right, but my navbox (<-- The complete one I'm trying to set up) just doesn't look the same. Everything's bunched up on the right, and the table background is invisible. If there's anything you can do to help a fellow wiki out, it'd be much appreciated!

So I figured that out, btw. Thank you for what help you gave me :) Turns out there's a lot added on the Terraria wiki's Common.css that's relevant. JavaRogers (talk) 18:53, April 3, 2017 (UTC)


 * Yeah I assumed there must be something like that. Good luck, and let me know if you need any other help.

Terraria Otherworld Merge
Hello. I have been assigned the task of merging the inactive Terraria Otherworld community with Terraria Wiki. I will then be closing that community and redirecting the URL here. Is there a specific way your community has been handling information for the new game? For example, the character "Little Eater" was replaced in the original game by "Eater of Souls" but yet remains in Otherworld's alternate universe. Should the Little Eater page be updated, or should a 'Little Eater (Overworld)' page exist instead? As the only currently active admin, your thoughts would be appreciated. Pinkachu ( talk ) 19:51, April 3, 2017 (UTC)


 * Hello. There wasn't a whole lot that needed to come over and I am somewhat limited on time. I created pages for anything I saw that was new and specific to Terraria: Otherworld. I added a Terraria: Otherworld category wherever I went so those pages would be easier to find for you and users. Feel free to move things around as you see fit. I am not a player of Terraria but I tried to follow similar articles in context. I noticed there was no mention of the new game in the navigation or on the main page. At least not one that I could find. If this community is to be a home for the franchise and not just the first game, then the mainpage and navigation should be updated as we learn more information. We would love for the fans to be able to find their information here first! Pinkachu ( talk ) 23:48, April 3, 2017 (UTC)


 * Hi,
 * I believe there was some discussion a while back for what to do about this new game coming out, and whether we wanted to have the game featured here, or on a seperate wiki. I personally felt it was better to have its own wiki, because it is very much different from the original game, especially graphics wise. None of t he sprites are going to look like any of the existing ones, and I felt that having a completely seperate game listed here was going to take a lot of work. On the other hand, if presented well, I can see it working here. I am a fairly new admin and I'm not sure I have the ability nor the time to put into a whole other game, and I don't even know when Terraria is planning on bringing this game out. When we discussed it in the past, The developers gave the community the impression it was coming soon, but "soon" kept getting pushed back. Hopefully once the game is out, new interest in this franchise will grow and more people will come, and old members will come back to help out. For now, I'm afraid not much progress will be made.

Discussions Feature
I noticed while I was here editing that you don't have Discussions available. Discussions is a new feature we added last year to replace Forums. It is available on both desktop and mobile views as well as the mobile app. Adding it to the app can take up to 30 days after activation. Discussions is similar to social channels in that users can post images, links, videos and share them. They can upvote posts they like and report those that are inappropriate if necessary. Admins can moderate Discussions themselves and assign moderators as needed. More information can be found at Help:Discussions.

We have noticed a pretty large increase in user interaction since we first enabled Discussions. Especially from mobile devices. I encourage you to allow me to activate it for this community. To see how it works, feel free to take a look at one I personally hang out at: Mass Effect Wiki Discussions. You could put a 'trending discussions' module on the main page and replace article page commenting with a Discussions footer (the latter, I would have to enable), or simply keep everything confined to just the Discussions page.

Please let me know whether or not this is something your community is interested in. Thanks! Pinkachu ( talk ) 23:38, April 3, 2017 (UTC)


 * We have previously had a forum post about Discussions and we aren't in any rush for this feature. I feel that this community prefers the current forum style, but if some day this feature is implemented across all of wikia, well then I guess it has to change at that time. This isn't a very active wiki at the moment because this game is getting on in years and doesn't hold the appeal it once had. We also do not have a very strong admin staff here to help monitor the new discussions and I feel things would just run rampant without a stronger trusted group of members to keep things running smoothly.


 * Thank you for your reply. I will hold off enabling Discussions. It is however a global feature. Forums cannot be enabled or disabled via Wiki Features and all new communities will have Discussions enabled automatically. We are allowing our established communities with an active to semi-active forum the opportunity to opt out if that is what they prefer. Of course, we would prefer to have it active. :)


 * To have it enabled in the future, you can contact me if you like, or use Special:Contact and request it. Pinkachu ( talk ) 01:29, April 4, 2017 (UTC)

Blue Acid Dye
aww... why no picture?--Marhawkman (talk) 10:21, May 19, 2017 (UTC)

Also, how does it count as a "low quality image"?--Marhawkman (talk) 12:12, May 19, 2017 (UTC)


 * Hi Marhawkman,
 * Usually images that are mostly black and very hard to view what is being described in it, are not the best looking. I did leave the one you added on the Acid Dye page, but that one is also pretty hard to see. I do appreciate what you are trying to show however, as I tested it myself on various non-glowing grappling hooks and these dyes do in fact give them visibility in the complete darkness. I also noticed a few other dyes that give them visibility. I don't think this is an odd behaviour for the dyes nor a bug, but it's an interesting feature for sure. Perhaps a different hook shows up better than the one you are wearing and a more clear image can be captured. Which hook is in your picture? is it an Ivy Whip? If you'd like to try to get a more clear image you can, or I can add one as well. Just let me know.

Yes, yes the blue version is Ivy whip. The green one was the webshooter. :D Maybe a pic where the line ends in darkness but the character is in light? Acid dyes are the only ones I've seen do this, what else have you seen do it?--Marhawkman (talk) 16:46, May 19, 2017 (UTC) how's that? Prob needs cropped.--Marhawkman (talk) 21:15, May 19, 2017 (UTC)


 * I tested a bunch and found the following dyes add some sort of lighted effect:


 * Red Acid Dye
 * Infernal Wisp Dye
 * Unicorn Wisp Dye
 * Glowing Mushroom Dye
 * Living Ocean Dye
 * Loki's Dye
 * Martian Dye
 * Solar Dye
 * Phase Dye
 * Pixie Dye
 * Living Flame Dye
 * Also, you may not have known this, but certain dyes can also light up wings that otherwise would have no light in the dark. Pretty handy to have lighted wings or grappling hook just by applying a dye. Here's what the phase dye looks like on the Spooky Hook:
 * Phasegrapple.png

Ah, I see, I don't have any of those yet. also for some reason the hook gets colored erratically. Sometimes it's all the hook, sometimes only part of it.(like that pic)--Marhawkman (talk) 12:24, May 20, 2017 (UTC) Apparently it works on Balloons too.--Marhawkman (talk) 13:29, May 21, 2017 (UTC)

Bewitching Table
Bewitching Table is listed as a crafting station, what can be crafted at it?--Marhawkman (talk) 18:27, May 21, 2017 (UTC)
 * I guess technically it isn't, so I changed it. Thanks for pointing it out.

Creating pages
Hi, Squazzil.

I am asking if I can make a page on how to get items--Seth2008 (talk) 17:34, May 31, 2017 (UTC)Seth2008


 * I don't think those sorts of pages should be added to the mainspace, but you can make a blog or forum post for things like tips and guides.


 * oh

Hi, for some reason it is not letting me comment on the wiki.--Seth2008 (talk) 21:50, June 12, 2017 (UTC)Seth2008

I have returned
I apologize that I have been away for a week, as I have moved and was unable to get internet until now. I can once again be contacted here for help, and will be going through recent activity to get caught up.


 * Hooray!! The wiki was on fire and all I could do is throw dirt on it and hope the flames slow down until you arrive with water. :p I think I've went through every edit when you were gone, I even asked The Crusader of Truth to take a look if I missed things, but of course double checking is nice because I might've messed something up, as usual. :p There's this new article which I think is useful, then this edit and this other edit which I am not sure about. Then some people made a lot of pages that need to be deleted, I just marked them for deletion. XD


 * So how was your house moving thing? :D

Thanks for holding down the fort during my eventful absence :D I haven't had a chance to give everything a thorough look, but I did delete the 2 pages. Things are going well in my new house, still a lot to organize, and now with my internet back, I will be more distracted from productivity heh. At least I got a lot done during my week offline, even though I now have an injured back from attempting to lift heavy things. See you in the chat :p
