Creating categories
When creating new categories, please remember to tie them into the Category tree. Thanks! -- Wynthyst  talk  17:04, 10 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Got it, will do. Thanks for letting me know.  Equazcion ( talk ) 17:06, 10 Aug 2011 (UTC)

Since you've been on a categorizing spree ;'] do you think there should be Comfort Item and Flat Surface Item categories for the NPC housing requirements? futRtrubL 05:04, 11 August 2011 (UTC)
 * I categorized decorative and storage items cause I think it'll be useful for people to have a catalog of the items that only have visual appeal and items used for storage. I'm not sure if having a catalog of the items you're referring to would come into quite as much practical use, but I guess it does make sense from an obsessive-compulsive standpoint :)  Equazcion ( talk ) 09:53, 11 Aug 2011 (UTC)

Moving
So, you're gonna get the same talk as Excavator: "Rather than copy pasting info to change the name of the page, you should use the move function instead as it retains the appropriate edit history. Thanks!" --JonTheMon 20:08, 11 August 2011 (UTC)
 * I would have, but apparently the requirements for moving a page over a redirect aren't met here (redirect created manually or a previous move already occurred). I didn't think you guys would be sticklers for maintaining history here but that's fine. Could you perform a move and history merge then? I'm not an admin so I can't do it.  Equazcion ( talk ) 20:14, 11 Aug 2011 (UTC)
 * Well, at this point, i think you should hash it out what wording is correct (get consensus) before we move it again. --JonTheMon 20:16, 11 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Consensus huh... you move from Wikipedia to a gaming site and you think that'll let you escape it, but nooooooo. I think I'll just wait for someone else to care enough to start that up. Thanks.  Equazcion ( talk ) 20:19, 11 Aug 2011 (UTC)
 * Sometimes consensus is being the only person who cares enough to discuss it. --JonTheMon 20:25, 11 August 2011 (UTC)
 * More often it's being pretty sure you're the only one who cares, til you start a discussion and everyone suddenly forms an opinion simply because they can. Call me jaded :)  Equazcion ( talk ) 20:28, 11 Aug 2011 (UTC)

Biome Temps
For the record, that looks hideous: http://wiki.terrariaonline.com/The_Underworld are you sure the mob & drop data is necessary that high up the page? Xeroproject 20:30, 12 August 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm working on the item link templates so we can adjust the size of the graphics included there using an additional parameter. Should be ready soon, and won't look quite as hideous :) stay tuned.  Equazcion ( talk ) 20:27, 12 Aug 2011 (UTC)
 * Ah ha! Yes that is what I was just looking into myself.  The images are great to have, but badly need re-sizing.  I'm unfortunately too new to wiki editing but I've been researching ways to do it.  It works for the Ocean page, but the ones like the Underworld with a large amount of unique mobs & items are just cluttered currently, especially on 1280x1024 res, most likely not as bad on widescreen.  I'd love to see how you can resize when you figure that out.  Xeroproject 20:30, 12 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Even if you fix the images, that still too much for the infobox. It needs to be separate further down the page. --JonTheMon 20:36, 12 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Reserve judgement til you can see the result? Also Biome pages are different from others, as the objects encountered there are really the most pertinent info.  Equazcion ( talk ) 20:38, 12 Aug 2011 (UTC)
 * My original idea was to include the images, edit down the images of the "long" mobs, like EoW, Bone Serpent, etc to just show the head, however in some cases this requires editing existing files that are already linked on several pages, unless there's some way to specify in the template which file to use? Then its simple.  I was wrestling with those issues for the last few days when I was on, but didn't really come to a conclusion that wasn't going to require massive mob file standardization as a jumping off point. Xeroproject 20:41, 12 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Jon got there first it seems -- my head wasn't on straight, I kept forgetting the # in the IF statements, couldnt figure out why it wouldnt work :) Result looks good at Ocean, no? Equazcion ( talk ) 20:48, 12 Aug 2011 (UTC)
 * It's ok for now, but if "Unique Treasures" gets added, then it's too wide. That's why I want it in a separate section where width is less of an issue. --JonTheMon 20:51, 12 August 2011 (UTC)
 * I'd say Unique Treasures is important information, if it applies to the Biome, I know its information I personally have looked up before I started editing. I agree that Oceans looks good, but I think consistent formatting is more important.  I see how you did the Bone Serpent on the Underworld page, apparently when I did this: http://wiki.terrariaonline.com/index.php?title=The_Underworld&action=edit&oldid=34691 it wasn't correct.  Last question is, do you want the Biome information at the very bottom, with only Version History below?  Because the organization of the Tips, Notes, Version History, etc is kinda all of the place as well.  Xeroproject 21:19, 12 August 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm still working on this. I think the Biome infobox should use tables rather than line breaks, as the text wrapping (or lack thereof) is what's causing most of the width problems now. If the width problems can be solved hopefully the float=right will be more feasible.  Equazcion ( talk ) 21:23, 12 Aug 2011 (UTC)
 * Tables can still have width issues. And I think the biome info should be the second thing on the page, under the general description. --JonTheMon 21:27, 12 August 2011 (UTC)
