Terraria Wiki:Admin noticeboard

__NEWSECTIONLINK__ The Admin noticeboard is one way through which users can notify administrators of issues needing administrative attention. While users are welcome to directly contact specific administrators (especially if they are seen to be active), posting here can be an easier and quicker way of ensuring that at least one admin will notice an issue and respond to it promptly. Remember to sign when posting an issue.

Before posting an issue here, consider the following:
 * As this is a noticeboard and not a talk page, please refrain from discussing.
 * Post only issues that require administrative action, i.e. blocking vandals, protecting pages, restoring deleted pages etc.
 * Do not post deletion requests here. Deletion requests should be made by adding  to the top of the target page, which will then automatically mark the page as a candidate for deletion.
 * Do not post issues regarding content disputes. Try making a request for comments instead.
 * Mediation requests between users should only be made if a resolution could not be reached between users.
 * For technical issues that admins can't handle, please see the Curse noticeboard.

In case of vandalism, posting about it here is low priority. Revert it first, anyone can do so. If the vandal created a new page, tag it for deletion. Assume good faith and consider leaving a message on that user's talk page to explain the reason. Post here only if the user has made several disruptive edits and/or persists despite a warning. Always avoid a revert war with the vandal; it is far better to wait until an admin has a chance to intervene.

As a sign of courtesy, also leave a message on the talk page of any involved user.
 * Creating a new request &mdash; vandals
 * 1) Edit the Vandal issues section
 * 2) At the top of the list, use the   template. Provide a short and neutral summary of the issue
 * Creating a new request &mdash; non-vandal cases (e.g. user issues, page protection/undeletion, etc.)
 * 1) Add [ a new section (+)] to the page and enter an appropriate title (without using templates or links) in the subject field.
 * 2) In the edit field, enter a short and neutral summary of the issue. Use the   template to refer to users involved with the case and provide links to important pages or edits.

Vandal issues
Adding many duplicate pages (one is Cock Madoc) and images of an item from a mod, to the point that it can be considered spam and/or vandalism. --Xolroc (talk) 22:51, 29 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Left a message on his talk page, this should properly solve it. --0icke0 (talk) 09:46, 30 July 2014 (UTC)

Grappling hooks -> Hooks
Can we move Grappling hooks to Hooks? It seems more intuitive than using the plural of Grappling Hook. I realize we have Hook, which could continue causing some confusion... but, being that the Grappling Hook is one of the current Grappling hooks, I think it would still be an improvement. Plus, the game and the developers refer to them as "Hooks", not "Grappling hooks".  Equazcion ( talk ) 23:51, 31 Jul 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm in support of this idea, but leave a redirect from Grappling hooks to Hooks, and put something like Wikipedia's "for" template on the Hook and Hooks pages. --Xolroc (talk) 02:13, 1 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Ok, I've moved it. --0icke0 (talk) 08:35, 1 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks again Icke, and thanks for the input Xolroc :)  Equazcion ( talk ) 11:59, 1 Aug 2014 (UTC)
