Talk:Terraria Wiki/editcopy

Buffs and Debuffs Section
I think we should make a new page containing all the buffs and debuffs that the game currently has and throw it on the main page. CrapTM 19:01, 9 August 2011 (UTC)

Pinky & Chaos Ball
Can anyone remove Pinky and the Chaos Ball from the monsters list becouse of a slime article already being on the monsters list and the Chaos Ball isnt a monster

Featured Page/Did You Know Section
Would these 2 section propose any interest to any other Terraria Editors? The Featured Page Section could be a page to be shown on the front page, awhile the Did You Know Section could contain Trivia and other interesting information to be presented to users. --Reginald 00:46, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Currently, I don't think there is enough fully fleshed out articles to warrant a "Featured article" section. Also, these kinds of projects take huge time and commitment to maintain. With a game this new, and a wiki this new, I think we should hold off at least for awhile... maybe revisit the issue in 6 months. As for a Did you know section... provide some ideas of what you would like to see, and an idea of the mechanics. -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]]  talk  00:50, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
 * For example, present a fact the average Terraria player might not know, such as "Did you know... Underground Jungles are on the opposite side of a map to a Dungeon?" or, "Did you know... Your player can jump 12 feet high max without a Shiny Red Balloon?" --Reginald 23:11, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
 * And how would they be presented, and how would they be rotated? -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  23:15, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
 * A certain bot or a trusted Admin of the Wiki could be able to put it under a Category Box (such as the Items Box, Monsters box, etc.) and the bottom of the page, and every week or so, the bot/Admin could pick up 3 or 4 facts from a Special Talk Page that members of the Wiki can contribute. Also, under the facts, there could be in small italic font say "Submit a Fact!". --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:Reginald (talk).
 * A week is too long, It would lose it's impact. -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  23:39, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
 * I love this concept of the "Did you know?" It'd work a lot better if there was a way to have a bunch and maybe update it every few days or if it could randomly change each refresh/visit. IKJames 15:48, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
 * I have seen the "Did you knows" A trillion times and they are very interesting. I would love to have that on the wiki. --Revolt- Change Is Welcome 19:30, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

Main Links
Just some minor suggestions, but under the "Welcome to the Official Terraria Wiki," can we place some main links, for example:
 * Latest Version (States Version and links to Patch Notice)
 * Terraria Online Main Website
 * Steam Store Page (ie. Buy Terraria Now!)

Here's an example of what could be it

 Welcome to the official Terraria Wiki, the comprehensive reference written and maintained by the players. We are currently maintaining articles

Monsters section
Moved from Talk:Terraria Wiki 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)


 * Meant . yeh (talk) 07:52, 24 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Here's what it is. Note that the noinclude command was not yet put in Monster. yeh (talk) 08:00, 24 June 2011 (UTC)


 * If we did that, then Monsters couldn't be edited by anyone but admins.... -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  08:04, 24 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Well, I thought that wouldn't be a issue as far as protecting the page for admins edit only would be needed (didn't see any vandalism so far) . yeh (talk) 08:39, 24 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Anything directly included on the main page is protected. That's why we have an editcopy of the mainpage. -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  09:40, 24 June 2011 (UTC)
