About Me
I am proud to be an administrator of the Terraria Wiki. I'm not the best at styling pages, but I can try my best. I am an intermediate writer in Java and I like to use Photoshop. I love listening to dubstep, and it makes me laugh when my spell-checker says "dubstep" isn't a word. I know quite a bit when it comes to computers, so if you need help, ask me! If only I had a better computer. :( I have access to the Terraria source code, and I can read it decently, so if you need confirmation to a drop percentage, etc., ask me! I love to watch YouTube videos, if I'm not editing a wiki, playing a game, or doing something else, I am on YouTube.

Contact Null
You can contact me via my talk page. That is the best way since I get a little notification thing when I got a message. I should be available on this wiki from 11AM - 12 AM, but will only be on it about once every 30 mins. On Tuesday, Saturday, and Sunday, I might not be able to access the wiki.

Images
To correctly upload an item image to Terraria, you should:
 * 1) Click on the item (in Terraria) so that your cursor has it and take a screenshot.
 * 2) Paste it into an imaging program. (Paint.NET is a very good, free program)
 * 3) Crop the image so there is no space outside the image.
 * 4) Delete (make transparent) all colors that aren't part of the image.
 * 5) Save image as PNG.
 * 6) Compress as PNG (RIOT is very light and very good).
 * 7) Upload.
 * 8) Wait around 10 minutes, refresh your cache (CTRL + F5) to see changes.

Preferred Way
This way will get you a perfect picture 90% of the time. Many NPCs are hard to take images of.
 * 1) Download |this program. (Direct Link)
 * 2) Extract the program to your Terraria Images folder found usually in "%programfiles%\Steam\steamapps\common\terraria\Content\Images\"
 * 3) Open the program and type the filename of the file you want to export as PNG for example: "Item_5" and leave out .xnb (You can also leave the text box blank to get every image in the folder)
 * 4) The image will be saved as "Item_5.png", cropped and transparent.
 * 5) In most cases, you can upload the image. In someone cases, the image will also have the animations of an NPC. Crop out which animation you want then upload it.

See Data IDs for the corresponding ID. For example, Item_5.xnb is ID 5, which is Mushroom.
