Archiving tips?
Hey Oscuritaforze, could I get some tips on Archiving? Heh, my talkpage is starting to fall to ruin.

TerrariamcSwaggins (talk) 01:23, April 7, 2014 (UTC)


 * Alright, there are a couple of ways you can go about doing that:


 * If your talk page doesn't have anything that you wouldn't want to appear in your archives (such as header templates), then you can simply move/rename your current talk page to a title like User talk:TerrariamcSwaggins/1 or User talk:TerrariamcSwaggins/Archives.
 * If you do have stuff on your talk page which you don't want in your archives, then you can just cut-and-paste the older messages to a new title.


 * After the older content on your talk page has been moved to a new location, you'll want to add a link to the archives to your current talk page. You can do this by either using the  template (though note that this template doesn't currently function unless you have exactly one archive page which is named your exact talk page name with a "/1" after it) or by manually creating a table which contains archival info (see my talk page header for an example).


 * As for the archive page itself, you'll want to place the  template at the top of it in order to let people know that they shouldn't edit it. It's also useful (but not strictly necessary) to add  to the top of archive pages, which removes the "edit" button next to section titles.


 * Hope this helps!


 * Oscuritaforze (talk) 18:45, April 7, 2014 (UTC)


 * Perfect, thanks man! This should help me get my ruined talkpage back into order. :D


 * TerrariamcSwaggins (talk) 19:06, April 7, 2014 (UTC)


 * Hey man, the archiving went quite well and it looks like everything is squared away.

"Star" page
Recently, I tried to rename the Mana Star page, as the item's true name is Star. However, the renaming does not work, as the Fallen Star page was formerly called Star. Help with deletion of Star redirect?

Concerning some of the Pirate Army pages
Hey Oscuritaforze, some of the Pirate pages aren't displaying all the drops. Maybe a bug? I'm not too sure, here's the pages.

Pirate Deadeye

Pirate Corsair

Pirate Crossbower

Pirate Deckhand

Thanks! :D TerrariamcSwaggins (talk) 19:27, April 11, 2014 (UTC)


 * Looks like part of it was a minor error in coding (two semicolons where there should only be one, no comma where there should be one), but there's also a limit on how many drops the monster infobox can display (was eleven (11)). I just added support for a few more drops, so it should be fixed now. There just might be some other formatting issues to resolve.


 * Oscuritaforze (talk) 19:48, April 11, 2014 (UTC)

Adding images
Im having problems adding photos to Lost Hopes of Man Banner page. do you think you can help.

EnvyMe2010 (talk) 23:32, April 12, 2014 (UTC)


 * Can you describe what kind of problems you are having? For example, do the images just not appear on the page, or are you getting error messages when trying to uploading the images?


 * Oscuritaforze (talk) 23:58, April 12, 2014 (UTC)


 * There is no area to add pictures like a gallery. There isn't even an add photo button on the page.


 * EnvyMe2010 (talk) 02:31, April 13, 2014 (UTC)

(Reset indentation) Does this sidebar show up to the right of the editing interface? If so, then you can add a single image to the page by just clicking the "photo" button or a gallery by clicking the "gallery" button (you will be given the opportunity to add images to the gallery in the "gallery builder" interface).

If that sidebar doesn't show up, then you may need to insert the image/gallery manually in source mode:
 * In order to add a single image to a page, you just need to add the filename (for example, "Greenslime.png") preceded by "File:", all surrounded by double square brackets . It should look something like this:
 * In order to add a basic gallery to a page, you would need to add the "

Missing Files!
Hello. I saw a problem with the charts. You see, when a person would go to a crafting station page (like Iron Anvil), the person would open up the chart to see all the other crafting stations. However, the pictures are missing! Instead, they are put as just their picture code in red. Can you access the chart and fix it? Thanks!

Falafel Time (talk) 14:54, April 15, 2014 (UTC)Nathanael Lakkis


 * Sorry I missed this earlier. It looks like took care of that already. For future reference, those collapsible navboxes are controlled by templates. In this specific case, the template you would want is CraftingStations.

I Have Problems
Hello. I have a problem in uploading pictures on my Ipad. It doesn't let me. When i try again, it said that this picture was deleted before. Why?

Oh, and in the table mentioning what items need gold, the depth meter was put there and it is not supposed to be.

Thanks!

Falafel Time (talk) 10:04, April 19, 2014 (UTC)Falafel Time


 * The latter problem (with the Depth Meter in the  template) has been fixed.


 * As for the former problem, there are a couple of reasons why an image would not be allowed to be uploaded, but I'll need more info to determine which one it is. So, do you mind telling me what the title of the image that you were trying to upload was? Does it give you an error message when you try to upload it, or does it just fail to work without any comment? Can you give me a link to the deletion log (a link should appear where it says the image has been deleted before)?


 * Oscuritaforze (talk) 19:50, April 19, 2014 (UTC)


 * Ah, its Ok now. I was doing a bit of trial-and-error. All i needed was to give a license to it. Thanks!

Question About Terraria Console (PS3)
Hey Oscuritaforze can you get Chlorophyte on console I'm just not sure because I can't find it and now I found out that you can't get Plantera which is a bug.

Buggsy101 (talk) 06:54, April 20, 2014 (UTC)


 * I don't have either of the console versions of Terraria so I can't be 100% sure of this (as I'm going off of the PC version), but Chlorophyte should start spawning once one of the mechanical bosses is defeated. It won't be able to be mined unless you fight all of the mechanical bosses or bring in a hallowed-tier drill/pickaxe from another world, though.


 * Oscuritaforze (talk) 07:11, April 20, 2014 (UTC)

Concerning strange pictures
Hey Oscuritaforze, I'm sure that you've noticed 's strange pictures that he's been uploading to his profile. Can you delete them or give him a heads up on it? I mean, the pictures don't even have anything to do with Terraria execept for the Beetle Armor guy that's Photo Shopped into every pic. It also looks like tried talking to him but he hasn't responded and most likely won't. -_-

Have a look at that please. Thanks.

TerrariamcSwaggins (talk) 14:06, April 22, 2014 (UTC)


 * I deleted those images and left him a message. We'll see what happens now.


 * Oscuritaforze (talk) 20:58, April 22, 2014 (UTC)

Wiki affiliation
Swaggins and I were wondering if we could set up some link system between my newly created wiki, the Terraria Fan Ideas Wiki, and this wiki. I believe it could benefit both.

Thanks,

SilverHexxitFights (talk) 17:08, April 22, 2014 (UTC)


 * Yeah, that would be doable. You'd just need to upload this wiki's wordmark and place it on the main page over there, and we'd do the same with that wiki's wordmark over here.


 * ...But, uh, have you considered editing on/adopting/asking for rights on the Terraria Fanon Wiki instead? The two wikis appear to be very similar in topic and scope, so it seems like it would make more sense to "pick up" an existing wiki (which is already linked to from the main page here, no less) than to build one completely from scratch. I suspect that merging the two wikis would be a possibility, as well.


 * Let me know what you think.


 * Oscuritaforze (talk) 20:58, April 22, 2014 (UTC)


 * Okay, thanks. I'll place the wordmark over there now. I will give thought to merging us with the fanon wiki.

Chat Moderator
Hey Oscuritaforze I'm trying to become a chat moderator and TerrariamcSwaggins has already given me some info. Could you please tell me how to become one.

Buggsy101 (talk) 22:53, April 25, 2014 (UTC)


 * Hey Oscuritaforze do you think I'm ready to become a chat moderator.


 * Buggsy101 (talk) 09:48, April 28, 2014 (UTC)


 * Sorry I didn't reply to this sooner.


 * Essentially, chatmod rights are given out at the discretion of any admin (so, any of these users) to users they think would do well in the role. I can't speak for any of the other admins, but I tend to look for most of the qualities TerrariamcSwaggins explained to you on your talk page (with the possible exception of "...[needing] a substantial amount of edits.").


 * However, I feel like I should add a disclaimer: don't ask for additional rights just to have those additional rights! Being added to a "privileged" user group on a wiki is not a big deal; they are more positions of responsibility than of authority or power. You should only aim to become a chat moderator here if you have an interest in keeping the chat clean and relatively sane.


 * Oscuritaforze (talk) 22:04, April 28, 2014 (UTC)


 * The main reason I want to become chat moderator is because sometimes people on chat just keep on swearing and won't stop and when I'm on sometimes there is no adiministrators and no chat moderators.


 * Buggsy101 (talk) 07:54, April 29, 2014 (UTC)


 * It sounds like you are interested in the position for the right reasons, then – great!


 * However, I haven't been in chat with you all that much, so I don't know if you'd be capable in the role. I'll have to talk with others who are frequently in chat to see what they think.


 * Oscuritaforze (talk) 06:56, April 30, 2014 (UTC)

Sorry I didn't read this message sooner but thanks for thinking about the role.

Buggsy101 (talk) 06:24, May 6, 2014 (UTC)


 * I know I shouldn't be bugging you about this but have you asked the administrators about me being a chat mod.


 * Thanks Buggsy101 (talk) 08:27, May 7, 2014 (UTC)


 * The people I would need to talk to are the other chat moderators and people who have been active in chat (preferably those who have been in at the same time as you). I haven't been in chat all that much myself recently, so I haven't done that yet, sorry.


 * Oscuritaforze (talk) 22:10, May 7, 2014 (UTC)


 * Sorry for the late response.


 * None of the people I talked to believe that you'd make a good chatmod at this time, sorry.


 * Oscuritaforze (talk) 07:14, May 30, 2014 (UTC)

Ok Forze I understand Thanks For The Response though :D Buggsy101 (talk) 07:30, May 30, 2014 (UTC)

Concerning shading comments
Hey there Forze, I just had a question concerning shading comments for Admins and Users with rights over on the Terraria Fan Ideas. and I couldn't figure how to do it. XD Do you happen to know how?

Thanks for the help. TerrariamcSwaggins (talk) 02:21, April 29, 2014 (UTC)

For admin comments, I believe you would want to add the following to Wikia.css:

That would produce the particular shade of cyan that we use for admin comments on this wiki. You could then add a second list for users with rollback rights, a third for users with chatmod rights, etc.

(Naturally, you can mess around with the colors if you want to by just changing the "#A1CAF1" to something else.)

If you also want the "Administrator" tag next to admin names in comments, then you can add the following:

...Also, might I suggest that you guys use a different color to highlight admin names on that wiki? It's kinda difficult to read the cyan-colored usernames on Special:RecentChanges against that background, as you can probably see here.

Oscuritaforze (talk) 03:06, April 29, 2014 (UTC)


 * This is perfect, thanks! And yeah, I see what you mean about the names being difficult to read, I'll see with Silver about that.


 * Thanks again! TerrariamcSwaggins (talk) 13:05, April 29, 2014 (UTC)

Concerning multiple/custom tags
Hi Forze, I am here to bug you again. ^-^

Anyways, would you happen to know how to add multiple/Custom tags to a User's profile page?

Sort like this: http://prntscr.com/3eqwiq

Thanks. TerrariamcSwaggins (talk) 02:59, April 30, 2014 (UTC)

For starters, you can change the default "Admin" tag which appears at the top of admins' profile/talk/contributions pages by creating this page with whatever text you want.

As for actually adding custom tags to the masthead, that's a bit more complicated than the comment highlight stuff, as it requires you to edit Common.js. I don't know a whole lot about JavaScript (not as much as I'd like to, at any rate), but I'm pretty sure that the following code should work:

I'm pretty sure this will work; please let me know if it does!

(Also, as this is technically only tangentially related to this wiki, what do you think of posting any further queries on my message wall over on the Fan Ideas Wiki? I feel like keeping this stuff on the wiki where it is relevant would make sense.)

Oscuritaforze (talk) 06:56, April 30, 2014 (UTC)


 * Alright, thanks! I don't have the time to muck around with it now but I'll be sure to give you a heads up on its success.


 * Hehe, I totally hadn't thoughten of just messaging you over on the other Wiki. XD


 * TerrariamcSwaggins (talk) 13:06, April 30, 2014 (UTC)

Tutorials section
I think we should open up a "tutorials" section of pages, for specific information on how to kill bosses, build stuff, mine stuff, guard, etc. This could open us to a new variety of users and help those who can't find their way around boss pages for tutorials.

Play Terrari exxit craft! -SilverHexxitFights 00:37, May 6, 2014 (UTC)


 * To make sure that I'm interpreting you correctly, do you mean creating pages like – using the Wall of Flesh as an example – Wall of Flesh/Strategy? If so, then that kind of content has generally been handled by user blogs, as it's usually considered unsuited to the main namespace.


 * That said, I actually like the idea: moving such info to content pages would have its merits. I imagine that that could be something which we could consider requesting a second custom namespace for, too.


 * Oscuritaforze (talk) 08:14, May 6, 2014 (UTC)


 * I'm sorry, but I don't know what a custom namespace is :P


 * Like a prefix, such as Category:?


 * I have seen them as Tutorial: or Tutorial/. I agree that user blogs tend to cover this, but not well. For example, when was the last time you saw a blog tutorial? It's been ages since I have. And they don't cover specific things, for example How to Get The Megashark.


 * Play Terrari  exxitcraft! -SilverHexxitFights 23:25, May 6, 2014 (UTC)


 * Sorry this took so long.


 * Anyway, yeah, that is exactly what a custom namespace is. We already have one in the form of the Mod: namespace, but I'm pretty sure we can request up to three, and a Tutorial: namespace might make sense for a wiki like this (especially since you're right that blogs aren't used all that often for this purpose).


 * However, I think it would make more sense to just use it for boss strategies and other non-objective info, as objective stuff such as means of obtaining certain items is basically already on the wiki. I mean, if we continue to use the Megashark as an example, that page already lists and links to all of its ingredients and its crafting station (which all have their own pages on the wiki telling where they are found/who they are bought from). Unless we were to remove that info from the other pages first (which would make no sense), also putting it on another page entirely seems like it would be redundant.

Fan-Fiction
Hey Oscuritaforze, I need some help, I wanted to post fanfic series, but it seems that I used some strong language, activating the Abuse Filter. I can't know what is inferfiring since English is not my language. I would like if you had a look in the text and tell me which words should I substitute.

About this template
I noticed this template a while ago, and this one as well. I noticed that it could be abused too easily, even though that would be undone in moments, but I made this template to minimize the chance for anyone to abuse it futher: This is essentially the two existing ones merged together with some added security, i.e. that it would only write the text to the page if it is on the page it was meant for. So it wont do anything when it is neither on the Pirate nor Party Girl pages.

I tested this on the testing wiki, and it worked =)

To make it more secure you might also want to lock the template, and remove the other ones.

PS: The thing blocked me from entering the correct source here, but Im sure you can guess whats meant to be there =)

PPS: Its also continously blocking me from entering the thing, even with all possibly profanity censored. I have no idea where any profanity is on this text, so you might want to review that.


 * Ah, excellent! Although neither of those templates have actually been abused yet, I think that this new template will work rather well as a substitute for both of them nevertheless. Thanks! :)


 * (As for why it wasn't letting you post even after censoring those two phrases, that is because the abuse filter also prevents the use of four or more consecutive asterisk (*) characters.)

I just discovered some spam comments on Mod:Adamantite Pole War Axe. Well, aren't we a cute little spammer >_>

I'm not sure what the punishment for this would be - just deletion of the comments?

Play Terrari exxitcraft! -SilverHexxitFights 14:27, May 7, 2014 (UTC)

 * But the comments should be deleted.


 * TerrariamcSwaggins (talk) 14:48, May 7, 2014 (UTC)


 * Those comments have been deleted.


 * As for punishment...well, considering how it happened so long ago and was done by an anonymous user (who can't even edit here anymore), I don't think that there's really any punishment that would make sense.

 * Thanks Swaggins! The only thing I would add to that is that you can also create a page by using Special:CreatePage, by just navigating to the title of the page you want to create and clicking the "Create" button at the top of the page where the "Edit" button usually is, or by clicking a red link, like this: Sticky Grenade.

Terraria question
Hey, I know this is rare, but I have a Terraria question.

I was playing on the cracked version (was trying to see what it was like) on version 1.2, and had just recently gotten into Hardmode. I went into the dungeon and got attacked by Hell Armored Bones and a Diabolist (farther up), then Rusty Armored Bones, Giant Cursed Skulls and Blue Armored Bones farther down, as well as a Bone Lee (you can bet I got out of there quick with my molten armor). Is this a known bug, or did it have something to do with the cracked version I was playing on at the time?

P.S. I got myself a Large Keybrand for my efforts. Way to go, Silver.

Silver  (talk) 17:33, May 18, 2014 (UTC)


 * If it's a cracked version specifically of 1.2 (as in, the initial version which was released on October 1, 2013), then that is actually how it was back then; activating Hard Mode in a world used to be the sole requirement for it also being activated in the Dungeon.


 * The requirement of defeating Plantera was only added in 1.2.0.3 in order to move the HM Dungeon loot (especially Spectre Armor, which used to be incredibly overpowered and easy to get) further back in the game's progression.


 * So, long story short, yeah, it's because of the cracked version.


 * Oscuritaforze (talk) 19:11, May 18, 2014 (UTC)


 * Oh, okay, thanks! As you probably know because of Swag's Bugle interview, I have been kind of out of the Terraria scene for a while, so I never knew. Thanks much! ...and I wanted the Wizard too... guess he'll have to wait. But then again, I might go bloodlust...

Image Categorization
Hey Forze, I was wondering what's the deal with this whole image categorizing thing. Is it needed? Beneficial to the wiki? Would it be considered as edit farming? Can you fill me in?

TerrariamcSwaggins (talk) 15:50, May 24, 2014 (UTC)


 * I think that those edits would best be left to a bot, but – considering how we don't currently have a bot available – I don't think it's much of a problem if users want to do them manually.


 * As for whether it's useful or not, I think the idea is that the Images category is supposed to be a more easily searchable version of Special:ListFiles. The other two image categories are supposed to document images which are either in special circumstances (unused, but potentially useful) or used for specific purposes.


 * Oscuritaforze (talk) 03:17, May 26, 2014 (UTC)


 * Alright, thanks! Hmm, perhaps we can get Dzy to boot up his bot?

If you have access to a PC at the moment, try changing your avatar there. If it still doesn't work, then you've probably found a bug, which you can report via Special:Contact/bug.

Abuse Filter for the chat
Hey Forze, I was chatting with and he offered me a JS coding to filter out profanity in the chat. I believe this would be of great benefit to the chat in prevent trolls or people who are up to no good from joining the chat and just cussing us out. The people who are normally there don't really curse in the first place so this would be mostly used in preventing profane language from trolls and such.

Here's a link to the wiki with the Js:http://minecraft-computer.wikia.com/wiki/MediaWiki:Chat.js (I would install it myself but I don't have the sufficient privileges. ;-;)

I believe that you just simply put that Js into this wiki's MediaWiki:Chat.js and you're done. (I believe the credit for the js goes to this fella: http://minecraft-computer.wikia.com/wiki/User:Jeff16306) On a side note, there's probably more profane words we could add to that JS, I guess we could discuss that in chat at a later date.

I feel that this would benefit the chat quite greatly in preventing people from spamming out profanity. I also spoke with a few chat members (,, and ) concerning it and they said that it would be amazing and quite useful.

Please consider, thanks. TerrariamcSwaggins (talk) 21:43, May 26, 2014 (UTC)
