About my edits that you undid with the summary "this really isn't necessary"
[] That's kinda why I put it in the previously nonexistent notes section. I suppose I can see sorta your point but if this is the first and only page someone was going to read to try to understand what a [modifier name] Paint Sprayer is and why it's not a regular Paint Sprayer, they might better understand with that note, and the note is not particularly large.
 * I think most people would see that their paint sprayer is increasing their stats and put two and two together. By the time someone can spawn in a traveling merchant, they've likely been exposed to plenty of modified weapons and can grasp the concept pretty handily. One note seems small in the short term, but the same is true of all other accessories, so it makes little sense to add auxiliary information like that to one page.
 * Just a note from an editor passing through, carry on. Gearzein (talk) 03:31, 24 December 2014 (UTC)
 * ok. I suppose I agree. Have a nice day/night.--Macks2008 (talk) 04:07, 24 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Just to expand a bit on that, modifiers are confusing in general. People often assume they're part of an item's name when they first encounter them and go searching for information. I've attempted to think of ways to deal with that. Placing a note on one particular item isn't going to do it, though I can understand the motivation.  Equazcion ( talk ) 04:47, 24 Dec 2014 (UTC)
 * Nothing personal. :) The only places where something like this would really be worth noting are where the modifier is the same as the first word of the item. For example, the Lucky Lucky Horseshoe.  Chrisf1020  (talk)  19:42, 24 December 2014 (UTC)

About the chlorophyte swords
I'm so sorry. I had no idea. I'm new to editing this wiki, and i'm not sure what is "right" and what is "wrong". I will try not to do that sort of edit in the future, but it would also be nice if you could maybe write a guide or at least give me some tips on how to edit properly. Thanks!
 * You can refer to the Style Guide as a general outline. Gearzein (talk) 01:27, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

Crafting the web slinger
Is the web slinger craft able or do they not the crafting recipe if they do then they should tell us cause it's cool
 * The Web Slinger is only found in Web Covered Chests. It cannot be crafted.  Chrisf1020  (talk)  23:44, 8 January 2015 (UTC)

Blinkroot 'vandalism'
Your reversion of my edit on Blinkroot seems to have reverted more than necessary. There was a useful change included along with my unintentional "vandalism" (by the way, a simple drag-and-drop mistake is not really vandalism. Vandalism typically implies that it was undeniably intentional). Do you mind if I put back the part that was useful (where I said about Silverthorn's blooming)? I'll make sure to preview the revision this time...


 * Perhaps "vandalism" wasn't the most appropriate edit summary, as I know you normally made valid changes to articles, and I see your name a lot around here. I hadn't actually read the entire change and didn't notice that it was a copy/paste error. I just saw "therrass", "pie", and "gayer" and reverted the edit. And in the future you don't have to ask to revert changes that I made. Keep uo the great work(And don't forget to sign your comments)!  Chrisf1020  (talk)  19:37, 24 January 2015 (UTC)

Admin
It's taken me a while to get around to this for some reason, but since Equazcion disappeared and we're short admins, you've been nominated for a position if you're available. You've done enough grunt work around here that I think you've got it coming. Gearzein (talk) 12:51, 14 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks for pointing that out to me, as I probably never would have seen it. I haven't been very active lately, just checking the forums daily for a 1.3 release date (one can only hope, am I right?) Having admins on this wiki is definitely important, so if I'm needed, I'd be happy to help out. I can't say at this moment how active I will be in the coming weeks, but the more admins, the better I guess. :)  Chrisf1020  (talk)  18:49, 14 February 2015 (UTC)

Difference between Flying and Hovering
Hi Chris, what is the difference between Flying and Hovering ? Hovering PNJs are PNJs which can pass trough blocks and Flying PNJs are those which can simply fly, nah ? --  Dinoxel  discussion  16:02, 7 March 2015 (UTC)
 * From the looks of it, I think flying enemies are the ones that are free to fly anywhere around the screen, while hovering enemies are the one that either hover at ground level or at a fixed distance above the ground. I don't think it has anything to do with passing through blocks, as some of each type can.  Chrisf1020  (talk)  17:15, 7 March 2015 (UTC)
 * So, you think Bats and Reapers fly in the same way ? By the way, congratulations for your promotion :D --  Dinoxel  discussion  13:15, 8 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Sorry it's taken me so long to respond. I've been so wrapped up in school and work the past week. I saw that Gearzein answered your question already, but I'll add on to it. Each of the NPCs is categorized by the parameters added in the NPC infoboxes, shown here:

I want to precise so I'm not a programmer, but I understand some things. (I read the Wikipedia page you sent me, thanks) --  Dinoxel  discussion  22:43, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Adding gifs to alotsof pages
Hello, i read an article about grappling hooks and saw the animation of to-platform grappling. And I decided to make animated pics to another pages. For example: character walks with Titanium armour with mask. Can i do this?

P.S. I have already done first gif for that armour set AND my English knows what he is bad!

Mair "Loeen" Wraitth 21:59, 14 March 2015 (UTC)
 * If you can upload an example of one of these onto the wiki HERE, it will be easier for me to make a decision. I'm not sure that gifs would be necessary for items, but maybe for enemies, as the images of each enemy in each position of its animation are in the game's files. If they are of high quality, I don't see why not.  Chrisf1020  (talk)  20:38, 15 March 2015 (UTC)
 * It`s HERE!
 * [[File:TitaniumHeadgearWalk.gif]]

Mair "Loeen" Wraitth 15:34, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Gonna go ahead and interject here, because unfortunately this image isn't really up to the standards of the wiki. It's far too large and appears to be corrupted in some way, as there's visible distortion on the right-hand side. I was expecting something more along the lines of the animated images added to certain furniture items (old image for comparison) that could be added to a stat box or placed on a page unobtrusively. By comparison, this image would displace a large amount of text in exchange for relatively little information, and assuming you intended to do one gif of this sort for each variation, the result would be an entire screen for just those six images.
 * At the very least, these gifs will have to be hugely downsized before they can be used. Like Chris said, though, I'd focus on creating animated gifs for enemies or furniture; most players know what their walk cycle looks like or wear enough vanity equipment for the appearance of armor to not matter. Gearzein (talk) 16:05, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Ok, I'll make another that you like! Mair "Loeen" Wraitth 16:43, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
 * I agree with Gearzein. What I had in mind was much more simple, for example, this one that I just created of a Cave Bat. [[File:Cave Bat.gif]]
 * All of the images are found in the game's files, and a nice, clean animation was recreated.  Chrisf1020  (talk)  20:12, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Reverse tomore lines
 * Yes, yes, I understood my mistkes and my duty is to make anim of Harpy. In few days!!!  Mair "Loeen" Wraitth  (talk)  20:26, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Editing Reasons
If you're going to edit everything single thing I write, you could at least have the decency of leaving a valid reason as to why you're editing them.


 * The only edit I removed without leaving an edit summary was this one, regarding Mimics spawning in Jungle Shrines. This is not worth noting because if a Mimic does happen to spawn in a jungle shrine, then it is purely coincidence. They do not have a raised chance of spawning there. Additionally, Jungle Shrines spawn Ivy Chests, not gold chests, so there would be no reason to think it was real in the first place. If you were referring to any other edit that I rolled back, please read the edit summaries.  Chrisf1020  (talk)  21:58, 18 March 2015 (UTC)


 * The note was about the rare chance of a Mimic spawning in the Jungle Temple, not a shrine, and I think you'll find a lot of things are "not worth noting", but the idea of this site is to gather information, it's not based on what you deem necessary or otherwise, though I'm not going to be petty and continually undo your opinion, so you carry on.
 * Jungle Shrines or Lihzahrd Temples, it doesn't matter (although Gold Chests spawn in neither of those by the way). The point is that Mimics have a "rare chance" of spawning anywhere after hardmode is activated. Naming specific places is hardly useful or constructive, and doesn't add to the article, and therefore was removed. There is a general rule here that if information is too specific to be useful, then it is removed. I understand that this is a wiki and that the goal is to gather information, but your note was duplicate information, as it is already stated that Gold Mimics spawn in the underground layer. If everyone made notes listing each location where mimics can spawn, you can imagine that the page would get unnecessarily long and messy. Our goal is to keep articles to the point and as clean as possible (we can only do so much with two active admins), without tidbits of information that are otherwise obvious or useless.
 * I have seen many productive edits by you, and your contributions are appreciated. I have no problem explaining why I reverted an edit, but there is no need to throw a fit over it. Everyone has had edits reverted, it isn't a big deal. You should not be discouraged to edit articles in the future, so long as you follow the style guide. Also, don't forget to sign your comments.  Chrisf1020  (talk)  23:01, 18 March 2015 (UTC)

I don't think you quite understood the context of that particular edit, but it hardly matters now, and I'll sign my comments on open topics, it seems pointless to do so when my comments are for the eyes of one person only, regardless, I appreciate your calm tone, and would in future appreciate valid reasoning on the editing of my notes.
 * I understand that information should not be added or removed from the wiki based on what I deem necessary or otherwise. Obviously that would be wrong, as no one else would have a say, completely defeating the purpose itself of everyone having editing rights. That being said, I have spent more time on this wiki than any normal person probably ever should, and I have patrolled tens of thousands of edits. I do what is best for the wiki, and try to keep pages as "to the point" as I can. I understand there are plenty of other notes here that aren't worth noting, but it doesn't mean they should be added to. I remove them as I see them, as it creates less work for me down the road.
 * Regarding signatures, it doesn't matter to me whether you sign your comments or not. It isn't hard for me to slap the template on there. It is more for archival purposes. Additionally, there was a new global abuse filter introduced yesterday that seems to be keeping many unharmful edits from being published. I see that the filter caught you quite a few times in your attempts to post here, many of them I believe are BECAUSE your comments aren't signed. Also, I have no problem leaving you reasoning on any of your future edits. :)  Chrisf1020   (talk)  00:00, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

Removed tooltips
Most effective tooltips are now listed in the code's Lang (languages) file, independent from the code's Item stats listing. Bear this in mind when checking whether an item has a tooltip. I noticed you removed a few where tooltips weren't specified in the code's item stats, but I've now re-added them. Equazcion ( talk ) 22:01, 17 Apr 2015 (UTC)
 * Alright, thanks for the heads up, I'll double check the language files when I am done as well.  Chrisf1020  (talk)  22:30, 17 April 2015 (UTC)
