Please use this page to discuss pages that have been labelled for deletion.

Remember, you can make a page automatically switch to another page by replacing the page content with a redirect annotation. (Eg: #REDIRECT Environments)

Zapinator
There is no reason to remove the Zapinator article. If the item is indeed in the game there is no reason not to cover it. Cloakedbolts 17:35, May 15, 2011 (UTC)

Zapinator Marked For Deletion
The Zapinator has been marked for deletion by a supposed alpha tester (who, by the way, only used his word to varify: http://terraria.wikia.com/wiki/Zapinator), Being that this is an unofficial wiki, and not the official one that is to come, neither alpha testers or even the developers themselves have the authority to mark an informational item page for deletion on the basis that they don't want it there.

The Zapinator is an item, whether they like it or not (though I must say they have to, as they included it to play around with themselves), and it warrants a wiki page. Removing the wiki page will do nothing save for give information to the general populace (such as, "What was that item that a developer just smashed me with?").

If they would like to make the Zapinator unobtainable, then they either have to remove it completely from the game (bearing no ability to simply give yourself anything you can create with your mind via an editor) or prevent character editors from being used. If they're worried people might give themselves this item, then the fact that it has a wiki page isn't the actual problem, and they need to go about fixing the actual issues, as I'm fairly certain removing a wiki page does nothing to remove the item from the actual coding.


 * I fully agree. Vaendryl 00:24, May 18, 2011 (UTC)
 * on 2nd thought, patch notes say it's been removed now. I don't mind an archive page that lists obsoleted items though. Vaendryl 02:48, May 18, 2011 (UTC)
 * I think all this page needs is a tag at the top saying that the item doesn't exist anymore, but did at one time. Similar to the box at the top of this page on the runescape wikia: http://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/Big_fish. I'm gonna make one now. — Paul9631 (talk) 14:42, May 21, 2011 (UTC)
 * How does that new box look? It can be used on anything that gets removed, and has an input for the name of the page. — Paul9631 (talk) 15:34, May 21, 2011 (UTC)
 * There should be a category for dev only items as well Excavater9 22:56, May 24, 2011 (UTC)

Saphire
There was no reason for the saphire page to be marked- there are pages for other gems like amethyst, if it was due to no description/photo I fixed that.

-- It's marked, my friend, because it's spelled sapphire, not saphire. And there is already a sapphire page.


 * Not only because of the misspelling, which can easily be fixed, but there was already a page with the registered name of Sappire, so even a spelling correction would lead to some kind of traffic jam / confusion.


 * Also, by looking at the histories of both pages (single P has 12 edits, while the actual page has 14), AND looking at each edit, there is much more of a general agreement that Sapphire was more "loved" and "taken care of"; besides, it was on the wiki LONGER than Saphire.


 * If also needed to present as evidence, in the Saphire page,


 * http://terraria.wikia.com/index.php?title=Saphire&diff=prev&oldid=7270


 * The time it was set to be deleted there was really no information about the gemstone, while at the same time, the closest edit in the Sapphire page,


 * http://terraria.wikia.com/index.php?title=Sapphire&action=historysubmit&diff=7353&oldid=6952


 * Has almost the same content, yet with an actual fact that it is usually spotted in a 5 block cluster in deep caves. Also in the edits that follow, Sapphire really takes off with other editors putting in a good word/edit here and there, while it takes almost the rest of the editing history, to the end, to make progress. Now what you could do is maybe confirm whatever information you can use from the Saphire page, and then incorporate that into the more mainstream Sapphire page. All of this was my argument on why we should be deleting the Saphire page. Elfstevie 06:29, May 17, 2011 (UTC)
 * This is so very silly. Look, when there are two articles, merge one into the other, then turn it into a redirect of the other. Simple as. MechPlasma 12:36, May 18, 2011 (UTC)
 * Redirects can slow down page load times. Not by much but a wiki clouded with redirects can run noticably slower than one with hardly any.  I'd say delete the improper article.

Known Glitches
Known Glitches should be removed as we already have a bug list page. Vaendryl 00:24, May 18, 2011 (UTC)

Instead of removing Known Glitches, it should be merged with the Bug List page to a new page, "Known Glitches and Bugs" as there is a difference between the two, but not worth having 2 different pages over. Bugs are irregular events that happen in the game without human intervention. Glitches are irregular events that can be controlled by human interaction. 99.99.154.85 22:47, May 27, 2011 (UTC)

I have combined both pages, this seemed to be a sensible idea.

Yellow Phaseblade
Yellow Phaseblade - See Phaseblade article.

It makes little sense to have 6 different articles when you can have one comprehensive and valuable article instead.

Diamond Cheese Wedge
It's funny and all, but it doesen't actually exist.

Or does it???

EDIT:No, No it doesnt

"Unknown"
I don't want this to be deleted. Its an object in the game but no use. I should be kept. Hope you like my editing! 18:15, May 19, 2011 (UTC)

Cobalt ArmOUR
I have no idea how to edit wiki's or anything, but I noticed Cobalt Armour is a candidate for deletion, (My inability for editing wikis is demonstrated here by not being able to turn off bold apparently) I don't think it should be deleted, just redirect to Cobalt Armor.


 * Redirect added. Felicrux 01:41, May 23, 2011 (UTC)
 * Bold type fixed, to make the record look nicer. 67.170.244.238 03:09, May 24, 2011 (UTC)

Bro Mining
Whilst a stupid name for a topic I believe it should be kept as it is a valid 'technique' that can be used within the game. It has been cleaned up and structured into an informational article and does not warrant deletion. Josh &#39;Danger&#39; Austin 17:45, May 20, 2011 (UTC)

Skeletron Head
I edited this page so that it has better grammar and alot more information. I believe that the page should not be deleted because it is an npc and a part of the game. I understand that it is a part of the skeletron from a different page but it is not the whole of skeletron that attacks you just the head. During the day, it aslo acts completely differently.

Life Heart Deletion
There is currently no topic on the effects of Death in Terraria. While the topic of hearts may be trivial, I would hope that it could be expanded to cover what happens when you run out of them. Please either expand the article to include this information or create a new section on Death. (I would do this, but I don't really know all the details!) 131.107.0.117 22:21, May 20, 2011 (UTC)Eric

restoration potion
the restoration potion is part of the game and should not be deleted

Set Bonus (Armour)
I am aware that ALL of the separate pieces of armour say its set bonus,how its crafted,total defence, ect. but i have changed the set bonus page to include ALL the armours,ALL the crafting rescipes,ALL the total defence,ALL the bonus' and while i was going through all the pages to find the infomation, i found that it was quite tedious having to natigate all the pages to find stuff out , so i made a table showing crafting,bonus ect for easy access and will also soon add links to the accual armour page for each single type of armour for easier access to the separate pages. of corse if it isnt deleated yet

so in a way i restored the page so its ACCUALLY HELPFUL!


 * This should be a redirect to Armor Set Bonus since armour is just an annoying way to spell it properly. that's like saying bouk instead of book.  Accually is not a word, spell better I'm sorry but I just can't take it anymore

Trees
it goes without saying why trees shouldn't be deleted


 * While the article itself should not be deleted, it should be cleaned up to meet wiki standards.

The Underworld
"The Underworld" page should be deleted, it's already listed in the Environments page. It's redundant.


 * I personally think it should stay. While it is listed in the Environments page, its entry there is a summary and not a full explanation of the Underworld, what's found there, etc. As such, the page offers more information than the Underworld's entry on the Environments page, so it'd be beneficial for new players who want to know what exactly they'd be getting into and what they'd find if they dug far enough. DMagnus 01:25, May 23, 2011 (UTC)
 * Despite the minimal information on the Underworld's page, it has all reasoning to stay, especially because all other unique environments (The Corruption, Underground Jungle, etc.) have their own pages. I do, however, think that the length of the page could be improved. I will be adding in the stub template so that it can be expanded. Felicrux 01:41, May 23, 2011 (UTC)
 * Each kind of environments should have its own page. The general environment page should only introduce to the concept of environments/biomes in Terraria and summarize each one of them before giving a link to their own dedicated pages.

Dual Mining
We don't need this page. Post a section about "dual techniques" in the Multiplayer page.

I created a multiplayer techniques page, linked from the multiplayer page. This now redirects to that.Kraflab 07:01, May 28, 2011 (UTC)

Corrupt Angel
The Angel statue DOES do something and this page should be it's placeholder until further notice. There is no reason for it to be deleted

No, it doesn't. Supply evidence that it does, or the page should be deleted. Go through the Terraria image dump - nothing there. If something related to the Angel Statue is discovered with image/video proof, then yes, the page should be made again. I did a test world holding an inventory full of Angel Statues for 2 day and night cycles, nothing happened. Stop trolling. 86.21.68.198 18:40, May 25, 2011 (UTC)

That's what I mean. You should test it before deleting it wich you did, if nothing happened then yes I agree to everything. (no sig)

Category:Terraria
It should be deleted. Simply as is. Inside the category:

dont delete nigaboss!!!!!
dont delete nigaboss!!!!! i know hes not real but its a funny joke :)


 * Well, if "he" doesnt exist, then "he" should be deleted. The name is also rasistic. Steamruler 10:20, May 26, 2011 (UTC)

Harpoonitron
It was the name of the harpoon in Alpha, it should redirect instead.
