French replacements

 * continued from archive

Hey, have "Minerai d'or" by "Minerai d'Or", "Bloc de sable" by "Bloc de Sable" and "Bloc de pierre/Stone Block" by "Bloc de Pierre" --  Dinoxel  discussion  01:17, 23 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Done Equazcion  ( talk ) 02:41, 29 Dec 2014 (UTC)

Thank you, have "Silt Block/Bloc de limon" by "Bloc de Limon", "Slush Block/Bloc de gadoue" by "Bloc de Gadoue", "Mud Block/Bloc de boue" by "Bloc de Boue", "Spike" by "Pique" and "Wooden Spike" by "Pique en Bois". The new face of the Wiki is really awesome! Did you finish to modify it, to know when I can copy/paste it? (To avoid modifying a thing to an other thing, ...) --  Dinoxel  discussion  10:14, 30 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Done. I think I'm done with the major changes to the main page, at least for a while. And thanks, glad you like it :) Equazcion  ( talk ) 12:09, 30 Dec 2014 (UTC)

Hi Equazcion, could you please replace some words on the french wiki ? --  Dinoxel  discussion  14:28, 25 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Done now. Equazcion  ( talk ) 19:12, 25 Mar 2015 (UTC)

Thank you, I'm going to add more of them later. Check this page when you'll have some time. --  Dinoxel  discussion  15:17, 26 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Hey I'm back again with a few replacements. I wrote them here to stop to spam your page. Thank you in advance. --  Dinoxel  discussion  18:35, 11 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Done - Equazcion  ( talk ) 21:52, 11 Jun 2015 (UTC)
 * Thank you, I added 6 new edits, altought this update will make us a lot of voluntary work ! :'D --  Dinoxel  discussion  02:19, 24 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Hey, do your bot can import every images of this page ? --  Dinoxel  discussion  15:32, 9 July 2015 (UTC)
 * I don't think AWB can do that. However let's see if we can get the French wiki to use English image. Most of the other language wikis can do that, but French seems to lack that feature. I'll contact Gamepedia and see. Once that's done you wouldn't need to keep re-uploading images to the French wiki all the time. Equazcion  ( talk ) 16:01, 9 Jul 2015 (UTC)
 * 0Icke0 has already done it, but he isn't active anymore. --  Dinoxel  discussion  17:50, 9 July 2015 (UTC)
 * He imported every pictures of French items too. --  Dinoxel  discussion  17:52, 9 July 2015 (UTC)


 * Is there a reason you don't want to use the English wiki's images? They emailed me back saying maybe someone requested that be turned off. Equazcion  ( talk ) 18:03, 9 Jul 2015 (UTC)


 * They've switched on your ability to access English images at the French wiki. However they also said you (Dinoxel) may have originally requested that this be turned off. I wasn't aware of that when I made the request, just thought it would make things easier for you this way. I guess I can request that it be turned off again, although I don't think it should interfere there -- you can use your French images in place of English ones wherever you like.


 * As for importing the images, I don't think I have any way of doing that using AWB. You would need a custom bot, which I don't have. Maybe if you email wiki@curse.com they could help you. Equazcion  ( talk ) 18:21, 9 Jul 2015 (UTC)


 * I don't want English images because the French wiki isn't completely translated, there is always some English old pictures and I want to remove them to have a true French Wiki. I already have every images on my PC, Chrisf1020 gift me a XNB converter but it's very long to upload new images and I'm actually translating Items IDs Part11. If it doesn't get bored you and them, I would to turn off it again. So 0Icke0 used a custom Bot to uploaded eveyr images on the French Wiki, right? If you have the page Items IDs Part11 translated, can't you do anything with the ID or something else ? By the way, thank you for your help and sorry, I'm not good to explain precisely what I want and what I mean. --  Dinoxel  discussion  21:46, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

Note
Sorry I thought the website was glitching and the submit ion wasn't submitting.
 * No problem :)  Equazcion ( talk ) 19:19, 7 Dec 2014 (UTC)

Deleting Anomaly and Bug pages?
In the recent changes, I see that you effectively removed every bug and anomaly template. Any specific reason? --JosephChor (talk) 20:21, 7 December 2014 (UTC)
 * See this discussion for an explanation.  Equazcion ( talk ) 20:23, 7 Dec 2014 (UTC)
 * Since I'm about to go through the pages the bot just edited, I was thinking that I would add any lost information that may be interesting back to the article. For example, in Iron Pickaxe, this was an anomaly: "Unlike the other base metal pickaxes (Copper, Silver, and Gold), the Iron Pickaxe requires only 3 Wood to craft." Should I add something like that to the trivia section since it isn't a bug? Chrisf1020 (talk) 21:37, 7 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Trivia sounds like a good idea for that one. There may be some anomalies that affect gameplay more substantially than that (for which the Notes section might be better in some cases). Use your judgment, I would say :)  Equazcion ( talk ) 22:20, 7 Dec 2014 (UTC)
 * Alright, thanks. Chrisf1020 (talk) 22:27, 7 December 2014 (UTC)

Signatures
Are we allowed to change the color of our username in our signature to something like this or this? It's oh so tempting, I figured I would ask first though.  Chrisf1020 ( talk ) 04:12, 9 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Yup, you're allowed to style your signature any way you like, within reason -- as long as it's reasonably-sized, not too painful for others to look at, doesn't produce too much code on the page (255 character limit), and doesn't use a transcluded template.  Equazcion ( talk ) 09:39, 9 Dec 2014 (UTC)
 * Very interesting, thank you.  Chrisf1020 ( talk ) 19:16, 9 December 2014 (UTC)

Files
Alright, I can't help but notice that whenever someone needs a file, you find it within minutes. Out of curiosity, where do you get all of these? For example, all of those updated console sprites or the Santa Zombie you just uploaded.  Chrisf1020  (talk)  01:39, 16 December 2014 (UTC)
 * I got the console sprites from the mobile game files. You can download the mobile (android) version's APK file (free) from several websites and decompress it as a ZIP file. You won't have the source code but you can get at the images.


 * The PC sprites are a little trickier -- they're in the Terraria content/images folder as XNB files. You can get images out of the XNB files using this, however they're only labeled according to ID, so unless you know the ID you're looking for, there's some time and guesswork involved.


 * Hope that helps :)  Equazcion ( talk ) 01:55, 16 Dec 2014 (UTC)

Thanks so much! It took a little while to get to this point, but the 6,392 xnb files are being converted as I type! Of course, I had to, you know, make a Steam account, buy Terraria, install it, find another .xnb to .png converter, as the one on the forums no longer works, and then watch a video tutorial on how to do it. ;)  Chrisf1020  (talk)  03:15, 16 December 2014 (UTC)


 * Hehe ok no problem. Sounds like you got a complicated one but as long as it worked out :)  Equazcion ( talk ) 03:46, 16 Dec 2014 (UTC)

"Developer Blogs" link
The link to the developer blogs on the front page still links to TerrariaOnline even though it would make more sense to change the link to the Developer Blogs on the Terraria Community Forums because the developers don't use TO anymore. --109.91.37.175 17:52, 17 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Fixed now. Thanks for pointing that out :)  Equazcion ( talk ) 17:56, 17 Dec 2014 (UTC)

Hey their
Hey their my name is Fuddlercrafter AKA Fuddler I'm new here and I was wondering if you could help me with something I noticed you talk to someone named Gearzein recently and just a while ago he/she delete my message in the pirate captain this is what my post said “their may be a glitch in terraria iOS where the Pirate captians death animation drops multiple pirate captian heads" can you see what is wrong with this please message this back? Sincerely: Fuddlercrafter P.S I have a picture of it happening
 * It looks like you got an answer to this already, but just to confirm: The wiki doesn't list bugs/glitches anymore, which is why your edit was reverted. You can report iOS bugs via the forum: Mobile Bug Reports.  Equazcion ( talk ) 06:49, 19 Dec 2014 (UTC)

Should I go ahead?
On this page, we were discussing possible solutions to the distinction between grappling hook, hooks, and "hook". Should I just go ahead and try my solution?

Console & Mobile Version history articles
Hey, I just wanted to let you know that I'm impressed with the changes lately that you've done to the Mobile Version history article. Nicely done! The patch history for each version would probably be best to be put in spoilers to decrease the "scroll-rate" (how big the article is which could get harder to find the version the person may want to see and the mouse wheel will be used too much) of the article. Oh and just to mention, the Console Version history will also need to be done the same way, or it would look great like that. Terraria from what I know is available for Xbox 360, Xbox One, PlayStation 3 & 4 (console wise). And again, nice work! 08:29, 26 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks! Nice to get feedback, especially when it's favorable :) The mobile history was more pressing due to all the separate update paths but I'll get on the console history too, if only to collapse those long lists.  Equazcion ( talk ) 08:40, 26 Dec 2014 (UTC)

Little problems
I found this page and this page. They are both about Signatures. --  Dinoxel  discussion  16:35, 30 December 2014 (UTC)
 * And the link of the logo of Windows 8 on the main page doesn't work. --  Dinoxel  discussion  16:37, 30 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks for pointing those out. Should be all fixed now :) Equazcion  ( talk ) 01:25, 31 Dec 2014 (UTC)
 * Hey, I don't understand why the English link in this French page redirect to Item Infobox. Do you know where it comes from ? --  Dinoxel  discussion  14:11, 3 January 2015 (UTC)
 * fr:Template:Item infobox had its language link outside the . I just fixed it. Equazcion  ( talk ) 15:02, 3 Jan 2015 (UTC)
 * Thank you, but why only "Coins" redirect to "Item infobox" and not to an other page ? --  Dinoxel  discussion  16:21, 3 January 2015 (UTC)
 * I don't know, I only checked that one page before I fixed it. Are you sure other pages didn't also do that? We could experiment and figure it out, but as long as everything is working now, it's sort of academic :) Equazcion  ( talk ) 16:38, 3 Jan 2015 (UTC)
 * Nah it's okay. I found a new thing, I can't take the pictures from Android, Xbox 360 and Xbox One. They are the only one who finished by .svg. --  Dinoxel  discussion  17:46, 3 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Seems to work for me. I just uploaded fr:Fichier:Android logo large.svg. What happens when you try? Equazcion  ( talk ) 17:59, 3 Jan 2015 (UTC)
 * I just uploaded the others. Equazcion  ( talk ) 18:03, 3 Jan 2015 (UTC)
 * Yeah, it's working. Thank you :D --  Dinoxel  discussion  18:17, 3 January 2015 (UTC)
 * No problem :) Equazcion  ( talk ) 18:38, 3 Jan 2015 (UTC)

Bot for the French wiki
Hey! I'm helping Dinoxel with the French wiki. Do you think it could be possible to give us a copy of the bot if you don't mind. I am also making studies in IT and I have a lot of background in programming in general.--PatateauChou (talk) 16:19, 3 January 2015 (UTC)
 * It's true. He just wants some help to know how the bot can work. --  Dinoxel  discussion  16:21, 3 January 2015 (UTC)
 * I've downloaded it and I'll try to make it work on my own but if you could provide a TL;DR on how to make it work, it would be great. --PatateauChou (talk) 16:25, 3 January 2015 (UTC)
 * I use a pre-compiled program: AutoWikiBrowser. It's somewhat easy to figure out and you won't need to do any programming, but most operations will require regex.
 * Use file->login/profiles to add your login info, and go to options->preferences->site to set http://terraria-fr.gamepedia.com/.
 * Under "Make list" on the left, choose "Category (recursive)" and enter "Terraria" in the line, then click "Make list". Wait til the list appears, then right-click it and choose remove->non-mainspace and then again remove->duplicates. Then file->save settings. Now you have a list of all pages on french wiki.
 * Check "Find and replace", and use normal for ordinary text replacements, or advanced for regex.
 * When you have those set up, choose the "start" tab and enter an edit summary. Click start, check the edit, click save.
 * Once you tested and think you're ready to have it proceed automatically, click the "bot" tab and click "auto-save", then click "start" again.
 * That's my crash course. Hope that helps :) Equazcion  ( talk ) 16:36, 3 Jan 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks a lot. Everything seems to be working after Dinoxel gave me the right password to the bot account. I just need to understand the rest now :)--PatateauChou (talk) 17:46, 3 January 2015 (UTC)
 * No problem :) Play with it a bit, you'll get the hang of it. Equazcion  ( talk ) 17:55, 3 Jan 2015 (UTC)
 * Well, do you know how the bot can modify words in Templates ? --  Dinoxel  discussion  17:50, 3 January 2015 (UTC)
 * If you want to include templates (and all other pages), just skip the part where I said to "remove->non-mainspace". Equazcion  ( talk ) 17:55, 3 Jan 2015 (UTC)
 * What would be the procedure to rename a page? I guess you would have to first move the content to the new page then make the bot change all the tags to the name of the new page and finally make the old page redirect to the new page. Is that it? --PatateauChou (talk) 02:00, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure if it's possible to rename pages automatically with AWB. It operates on one page at a time, and doesn't have a method of auto-moving pages, or copying content between two pages. Something like that might need to be done manually, or with a custom-written bot, to my knowledge. Equazcion  ( talk ) 02:11, 4 Jan 2015 (UTC)

Fiery Greatsword
What is the source of your information that an unmodified fiery greatsword is 36 damage? According to my game, as well as a screenshot I can provide of my game, and of my Terraria.exe file attributes, it's 42 in Terraria 1.2.4.1.--Macks2008 (talk) 05:21, 9 January 2015 (UTC)

basically, I challenge your version of my edit--Macks2008 (talk) 05:22, 9 January 2015 (UTC)
 * My source is the game code, which I just double-checked. The Fiery Greatsword's damage is listed at 36. You might have a modifier or armor bonus in effect -- try un-equipping all items and deactivating all buffs; that might drop the damage back down to normal. Equazcion  ( talk ) 05:26, 9 Jan 2015 (UTC)
 * Oh! How about that, you're right. I was not counting on the Molten armor set's melee damage bonus. I switched my Molten Greaves into a social slot and the damage went back down. Curiously, I remembered taking a screenshot of a hacked character that I made for testing this who also had a 42 damage Fiery Greatsword, but after checking my screenshot, I notice he also had the Molten set. Seeing as the armor set and the sword are at the same tier of equipment (Hellstone Bar), should there maybe be a note on the page about the set bonus?--Macks2008 (talk) 04:49, 10 January 2015 (UTC)
 * I don't think it's necessary to state the end result of stat bonuses on item pages. It doesn't really add much useful information, and although you might associate this particular bonus with this item due to the crafting material, it's a slippery slope to everyone posting stat bonuses they associate with items for whatever reason. Equazcion  ( talk ) 05:48, 10 Jan 2015 (UTC)
 * I suppose, but I'm inclined to inquire for better logical explanation, in order to safeguard against the "slippry slope fallacy". While I understand the concern people could start adding things willy-nilly (this so called slippery slope), I'm more concerned people might repeat my edit for the same reason I made it (they might equip the entire hellstone set and think the Fiery Greatsword damage went up), which would be around as bad as adding things due to a distant relationship. Maybe a routine check of that damage value is in order (possibly by a bot) at least? Also, where could I go to see the source code? I always like seeing the nuts and bolts of a good program, and I've been considering making a mod or two.
 * People edit stats and other things for all sorts of reasons often, and the changes are often inaccurate. As long as we have active editors watching Recent Changes, it's generally caught quickly. Instead of a bot, we could just keep stats on protected subpages, but this isn't enough of a problem currently to make that kind of move. It's best to keep as much as possible freely editable. You can download the source code here (you may need to register at that site first). Equazcion  ( talk ) 18:07, 11 Jan 2015 (UTC)
 * Ah, I should have known it'd be on mpgh.net. thanks!--Macks2008 (talk) 01:30, 12 January 2015 (UTC)

Remember
So remember that time in August of last year when I tried to create that article of the list of console items, you just deleted it... Beforehand you were on my side and saw the use for an article like that. 0icke0 and FyreNWater kept fighting me on the article to attempt to delete the article and in the end YOU DID. And then whenever i attempt to edit a stub article, my changes get deleted such as in the Tungsten Hammer article. What i'm saying is that I do not know how to write or edit a proper article or use complex expressions properly (0icke0 said to use a "regex" expression once and I had no clue what that was). Please help me and can you give me some articles that i could possibly try to work on. I don't want to be banned because i don't know what i'm doing...

Here's the link to how I found out an edit war was supposedly going on between us: Terraria Wiki:Admin noticeboard/Issues August 2014 I'm also curious why whenever i look at the history of pages that i previously edited my name appears red... ~User: DXOS3 15:44, 10 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Someone else came and nominated the article for deletion again, and I myself had a change of heart. The page also wasn't anywhere near completion and you hadn't seemed to be active in a while. I've been thinking of better ways to achieve what you were doing through categories and may yet implement something.


 * Your additions to the Tungsten Hammer article consisted of a lot of general information that was best left to other articles (such as general Hammer and Ore information), or text that duplicated information already contained in the article's infobox (the upper-right box containing the item statistics). In the future, it's best to look over some similar articles for clues on what is and isn't appropriate to include, as well as style and format cues. Keep in mind, though, there isn't always something useful to add, and simply adding "filler material" purely for the sake of making the article longer will probably be reverted. Equazcion  ( talk ) 18:51, 10 Jan 2015 (UTC)


 * Offhand I don't know of articles that need work, but I'll keep an eye out. You won't get banned for sincerely trying to improve an article, as long as you communicate, and aren't adamant in reinstating your edits if several other experienced editors correct or revert them. Equazcion  ( talk ) 19:06, 10 Jan 2015 (UTC)
 * Your name appears red because it's a redlink, i.e. you didn't create a User page, which is not a problem, in case that was your concern.-- Just passing through, Macks2008 (talk) 13:05, 19 January 2015 (UTC)


 * IM BACK! Enough said, I was a stupid editor back then. But that's in the past.  I am now putting this page forward as a suggestion that I think all wiki editors and players alike should highly consider for the console edition of Terraria.  With the advent of 1.3 coming out the end of June and the fact that the developers of the console edition will not be able to match the PC version for a much longer time away, I highly reccommend a page like this would be very beneficial to the players of Terraria alike.  I thought this was a good idea a LONG TIME AGO(I suggested this on the advent of 1.2 coming out) and still think it good.  I don't want to fight and I would rather like the help of supporters to make the page a reality.  In conclusion, please consider my appeal for this page as it would help any console player to find an article from the list that could supposedly help them to progress or build or craft something inside the game... I think you admins don't really care on a persistence of just one user but if other people helped it would become a reality bigtime! I'm fully outta here if I can't get anything together as the wiki needs no work as you said in January(you said you would keep an eye out! Well, I checked this page every week for 5 weeks and I go NO ANSWER!) As for me "sincerely trying to improve articles" is something very interesting out there.  It's confusing because articles that could be considered stubs by some people can be too long for others.  The clues you get looking over other articles can widely vary in length and what they describe. At the time I saw lots of articles that restated the infobox in a description and others that did not so again I got confused.  I still to this day have not figured out what regex expressions are! Wow, why did i even get into wiki editing??? Apparently, being active also has to be a consideration for the activity of editing on a disliked-by-the-admins page... -DXOS3

Fish Bowl
Is 1 Goldfish PC Version, Because On Console It Took Me 2 Goldfish?
 * It's 1 goldfish in the PC version. I checked the source code and it appears you're right, the recipe changed in version 1.2.3, which isn't available on console yet. I've corrected the page. Equazcion  ( talk ) 23:19, 13 Jan 2015 (UTC)

Category for dangersense, spelunker, etc.
I feel like buffs of this type should be grouped together. Perhaps call the category "highlight potions"? What do you think? --Macks2008 (talk) 12:57, 19 January 2015 (UTC)
 * I think those are the only two potions that do things like that. I doubt it'd be very useful. Equazcion  ( talk ) 13:34, 19 Jan 2015 (UTC)
 * There's also hunter. see, if we had a category you'd have been able to check :P
 * That said, I suppose you have a point... we don't need another useless category to add to the 500+ categories we already have--Macks2008 (talk) 14:04, 19 January 2015 (UTC)?

Hello
Hello I'm idow and I'm wondering if I can edit your page Lunar Boss to add an image, thanks idow
 * You can edit any page, they don't belong to anyone. Equazcion  ( talk ) 15:12, 19 Mar 2015 (UTC)

While you were out
Hey, just making you aware of some stuff that went down during your hiatus. You probably actually know about a lot of this but if you have any feedback or insight it'd be welcome. There's probably some other issues I'm forgetting but that's all that's pressing enough to come to mind at the moment.
 * In addition to myself, both Chrisf1020 and FyreNWater have been promoted to sysop status.
 * Following the announcement of Terraria: Otherworld, an informal poll determined that we'll likely be hosting that game's content here as well, as that seemed to be the preference of many editors as well as Curse staff.
 * Curse is putting more pressure on to integrate more video content (see these discussions). Considering that our current guides are in a bit of a sorry state, I've recommended they do a test post, and if all goes well we can use it as a framework to redo most of the content in the guide project. I've no idea what we'll do if it doesn't go well, as I don't think we have much say in the matter.
 * On a couple of pages (see Terra Blade) we've started moving most of the stats and recipe stuff to protected subpages. While it has apparently decreased vandalism on highly targeted pages without locking out editing entirely, we haven't moved forward with it much yet because of the potential technical concerns of having so much content transcluded from other pages.
 * The people behind Terraria: The Animated Series may want to discuss having their content posted on the wiki as well.

Welcome back, by the way. It's good to have someone around who knows what they're doing again. Gearzein (talk) 21:44, 25 March 2015 (UTC)


 * I'm happy we have more admins now, and you three have certainly shown that you'd be assets there.
 * I'm on board with Otherworld info coming to the wiki. We may need to set up a new namespace for that, but any release is probably still too far off to start worrying yet.
 * As for videos, I'd been rethinking my stance on those recently anyway. We could use the participation they might bring, and I like the idea of making them guide-y in order to aide or replace the wiki's guides. I'd personally given up on the guide areas here, as they are in such terrible shape and I think the concept of crowdsourced game strategy guides might have been flawed from the get-go. Having some sort of central authority drive them might be the better course. I look forward to seeing what User:CrsDash comes up with.
 * Transcluding locked subpages for infoboxes and recipes might be a good idea, but we can roll it out as-needed for pages that see frequent vandalism of that type. If we were to make any sweeping conversion to those (I'm on the fence as to whether we should, currently), it would probably be wise to wait until after 1.3 is released, so the community can contribute to documenting the massive number of changes that 1.3 is likely to bring.
 * I know zilch about the animated series. If that becomes a serious request I'll have to get educated.
 * And, thanks for the welcome :) Equazcion  ( talk ) 03:21, 26 Mar 2015 (UTC)

Beginners guide
Hey, what was your rationale for preserving Guide:Beginners? It's not a great page. I can't see much in it that's worth keeping, but I'm a bit reluctant to just go ahead and delete it, because I figured you have a plan for it or something. Gearzein (talk) 21:06, 13 April 2015 (UTC)
 * I didn't have a particular plan; I just wanted to move it to the right place and link it (it had been created in mainspace). I was reluctant to pull the trigger quickly on something somebody seemed to have put effort into, but at this point you can feel free to use your discretion in dealing with it. I'm usually not in any particular hurry to police the Guide: area since it's all such a fundamental mess. Equazcion  ( talk ) 21:20, 13 Apr 2015 (UTC)

Boss Spawners
You guys should make a page dedicated to all the boss spawners just saying :):">"
 * There's already a category for that purpose. There's not much to be said about them that isn't covered in individual pages either. Gearzein (talk) 22:22, 27 April 2015 (UTC)

help with dutch translation
hey, you say your good with wiki code, i'm trying to make more pages to the dutch translation of the wiki, but im horrible with templates and bold text and titles, could you help me with that or look trough te pages at least?
 * I'll take a look at the Dutch pages when I can sure. Equazcion  ( talk ) 20:24, 4 Jun 2015 (UTC)
 * thanks!

French things
Hey, thank you to help me for the interwiki war ! But don't put french link on the English wiki, we're waiting the true translation of every words. French is a very complex language. --  Dinoxel  discussion  16:02, 13 June 2015 (UTC)
 * I was just noticing how many common pages existed on our wikis with missing links. But I'll leave the interwiki links to you if you want. You're much more bilingual than me anyway :) Equazcion  ( talk ) 16:05, 13 Jun 2015 (UTC)
 * Yes that's true, I want to connect them too. What do you mean by "leave the interwiki links", place them on the French or English wiki ? You'll make me blush. :X But you you're definitely better programmer than me. :D
 * I noticed that I can't paste huge page again (like enemy). Does it exists an other way to paste than create some parts like we did a long time ago?
 * When the 1.3 will release, could you give me the file with true French names ? And will you help me to replace every wrong names on every pages ? :D --  Dinoxel  discussion  16:15, 13 June 2015 (UTC)
 * I was copying the page titles I found on the French wiki, to make sure I used the right words. I wasn't trying to translate them myself. But if they still might be wrong for some reason I understand. I meant I'll stop posting interwiki links for now and let you handle it instead.
 * I don't think there is any way other than pasting. If you want I can give it a try, or you can email wiki@curse.com to request help.
 * Yes, when 1.3 is released and the source code is available I can send you the language file. I'll do the replacements too, just make a big list of them and let me know. Equazcion  ( talk ) 16:22, 13 Jun 2015 (UTC)
 * You can continue to add English links in French pages but not the reverse for now.
 * I'll send a mail now. After thinking, it's probably a problem with the French Gamepedia server located to Paris. EDIT : Game widow is talking a look.
 * Thank you. I have done the Item IDs, you could use it (I can make a second Item IDs with true French translation too). And I'll put your bot as an Administrator so it will be able to replace everything everywhere. --  Dinoxel  discussion  16:46, 13 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Hey Equazcion, I know you're really busy right now but when you'll have time, could you send me the French File with every translated names of everything. (Does I'll be able to see what's write ?) --  Dinoxel  discussion  14:34, 1 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Forget it, they didn't change anything since the 1.1.2. --  Dinoxel  discussion  14:42, 1 July 2015 (UTC)

Challenges
Could I make a page that people can post challenges for other people or is there already one somewhere


 * Guide:Ideas seems to be along those lines. Equazcion  ( talk ) 07:25, 16 Jun 2015 (UTC)

French problems (Again)
Hey, I noticed two problems on this page. Could you please check them when you'll be available.
 * First, there is no lines between each items.
 * Then, the image of the placed Lhizhard Furnace don't want to appear. --  Dinoxel  discussion  23:28, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

Add this to fr:MediaWiki:Common.css:

The image of the placed furnace does appear for me. Try hard-refreshing your browser (ctrl-F5)? Equazcion ( talk ) 23:44, 24 Jun 2015 (UTC)

Also in fr:Modèle:Crafts first sub row, replace each  with    Equazcion  ( talk ) 00:17, 25 Jun 2015 (UTC)


 * I did everything you told me. It's working, thank you ! --  Dinoxel  discussion  00:52, 25 June 2015 (UTC)


 * No problem. I also just realized those pages had  in each row; that was probably the main reason no lines were showing. That's only supposed to go on the first row. I fixed that on a few pages I found.  Equazcion  ( talk ) 01:48, 25 Jun 2015 (UTC)


 * Thank you to have fixed it ;) --  Dinoxel  discussion  02:39, 25 June 2015 (UTC)

Hey, I noticed that several furnitures have the ID and the craft in one table (like table) and others it is separate (like chandelier). I want to know if it will be the same on every furnitures ? --  Dinoxel  discussion  14:45, 25 June 2015 (UTC)


 * Hopefully everything will be in one table. Right now, Chandelier has two tables mostly because we needed to list all the different chandelier prices -- the crafts table can't show prices yet. IDs are in the other table because of a display problem I ran into, but I think I just fixed it, and I'll be moving the IDs over the the crafts table now. Equazcion  ( talk ) 15:02, 25 Jun 2015 (UTC)
 * If you want to copy Template:Crafts first sub row to the French wiki now, I think you'll be able to list your IDs in all the crafts tables. We'll be doing that, likely from now on. I don't have a solution for listing prices yet, so when there are several different prices we may still be using separate tables for those, for now. Equazcion  ( talk ) 15:18, 25 Jun 2015 (UTC)
 * We now have sell value display in the crafts table. Copy Template:Crafts row, Template:Crafts first sub row, and Template:Value if you want to add it at the French wiki, and see Chandelier for an example of how it's used. Equazcion  ( talk ) 16:31, 25 Jun 2015 (UTC)


 * Nice work, I'll copy that thank you. ;) By the way in the futur, could you tell me when you change things in important templates (Like ajax) --  Dinoxel  discussion  17:23, 25 June 2015 (UTC)


 * Sure, I can try to remember that ... although I won't always remember, and there are other people who could make changes to templates. This is a wiki after all. It's best to check recent template changes once in a while (like via this), but I'll try and give you a heads up. Equazcion  ( talk ) 17:35, 25 Jun 2015 (UTC)


 * Thank you for the link, I saved it. --  Dinoxel  discussion  17:48, 25 June 2015 (UTC)
 * I don't understand here why there is no line between Steampunk Boiler and Work Brench. It's exactly the same as the English page ! --  Dinoxel  discussion  02:52, 26 June 2015 (UTC)
 * problem again, fixed now :) Equazcion  ( talk ) 02:56, 26 Jun 2015 (UTC)
 * Thank you again! And I notice that the Large Dynasty Lantern is in the placed chandeliers picture. So is this a Lantern or a Chandelier ? --  Dinoxel  discussion  03:10, 26 June 2015 (UTC)
 * It's unclear what it is. It's in the placed Chandeliers because whoever originally updated the page assumed it was a chandelier. I say it's a lantern -- its crafting ingredients are more similar to the other lanterns (it doesn't take a chain like the chandeliers), it's called a lantern, and the crafting station is the workbench, like the other lanterns, not the anvil like the chandeliers. We'll need to update the placed image. Equazcion  ( talk ) 03:15, 26 Jun 2015 (UTC)
 * Huhu ! Sorry to be meticulous. And you're right with your details, you have conviced me. --  Dinoxel  discussion  03:31, 26 June 2015 (UTC)
 * No problem, I'm kinda meticulous myself here. :) Equazcion  ( talk ) 04:12, 26 Jun 2015 (UTC)
 * Hye, I saw that you modifiy "MediaWiki:Common.js" and added "MediaWiki:ImageForeignUseCheck.js‎". Do I have to do something ? --  Dinoxel  discussion  13:29, 28 June 2015 (UTC)

No, this only relates to the English wiki. It's a way for us to check if an image here is used on a foreign language wiki. The other language wikis don't serve as central image sources like the English version does. Equazcion ( talk ) 13:32, 28 Jun 2015 (UTC)
 * Ok I understand, thanks. I tried to modify what is write when an ajax table is loading here, but now the ajax tempalte doesn't work anymore. --  Dinoxel  discussion  16:36, 28 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Replace the failure line with this: cell.text("Impossible de charger cette table; la source de l'article ne semble pas exister."); Equazcion  ( talk ) 16:39, 28 Jun 2015 (UTC)
 * ...and replace the success line with this: cell.text("Attendez s'il vous plait, le contenu est en train de charger..."); Equazcion  ( talk ) 16:40, 28 Jun 2015 (UTC)
 * Thank you again :X --  Dinoxel  discussion  18:00, 28 June 2015 (UTC)

New 1.3 spoilers
I know it's kind of hard to maintain sources on these, but the developers have been participating in several 1.3 prerelease live streams tonight. Most of the new information coming in is from player observation in those. I don't know how much of that spoiler information should be taken at face value, as some values are still being adjusted in response to viewer input, but most of it is valid. Gearzein (talk) 10:01, 29 June 2015 (UTC)
 * It just occurred to me that I read the times on the deletion log wrong, so you may know this already. Gearzein (talk) 10:05, 29 June 2015 (UTC)
 * There will be a lot to fix later, and likely some inaccuracies that slip by and remain in articles, if we allow a free-for-all during the spoiler streams. The release is only hours away now, so I don't think it will hurt to make everyone wait til the bits they want to post can be verified. I'd take a relaxed approach to the upcoming features page, since it will be moot soon anyway, but the individual articles on future features are mostly going to be around permanently and I think it may cause problems to base them on shaky ground. Equazcion  ( talk ) 10:12, 29 Jun 2015 (UTC)
 * I just noticed your page creations. I don't think that's much of a problem if they stay general and just declare the item names and classes. Equazcion  ( talk ) 10:16, 29 Jun 2015 (UTC)
 * I didn't create most of the pages, just put them in order with the other 1.3 items on the wiki. So far I've been trying to take the same approach as I have with other spoiled items- a limited page that treats it like it's not out yet so it isn't a red link when it's looked up but doesn't list any stats or too much information.
 * This post was an edit conflict- I was going to ask if you'd rather they be deleted, but if the solution so far works I've no problem with policing them for consistency and to weed out speculation. Gearzein (talk) 10:21, 29 June 2015 (UTC)
 * As long as you've seen the items yourself I have no problem with the pages remaining. When new editors create pages etc for things we've never heard of before, we can't be bothered to go searching for evidence of them, or have a batch of "maybe" material to look through and verify once the release happens. I'm about to post somethng at community noticeboard detailing how I plan to go about this. Equazcion  ( talk ) 10:28, 29 Jun 2015 (UTC)

I know I should be...
...looking through the source code to get all the info up, but I'm having too much fun. Equazcion ( talk ) 22:04, 30 Jun 2015 (UTC)
 * I plan on doing infoboxes later tonight or early tomorrow for sure. All I've been able to do so far is patrol edits and make minor changes, as we've been getting several edits/minute.  Chrisf1020  (talk)  22:12, 30 June 2015 (UTC)
 * I'm spending too much time fighting aliens and flying around in my UFO mount. I think Icke will be getting basic stats up at some point using automated means direct form the source code, so you might want to hold off for a little bit in case your manual efforts are for naught. Thanks for patrolling during this hectic time :) Equazcion  ( talk ) 22:15, 30 Jun 2015 (UTC)

crafts templates for czech language
Hey Equazcion, I'd like to ask if you could help me change craft templates for Czech language. It'd take me more time to understand what parameters from one template are used in another one, than asking you for help. So is it possible to change those templates so they'd display Czech names and link to "EN/cz" pages? I have tried but made this mess Stone Block/cz :/ Thanks for you answer Kvikk (talk)
 * I think I got this fixed. You'll need to use "item1cz" and "item2cz" etc to provide czech names for ingredients. You were actually almost there yourself, it wasn't a mess at all :) Let me know if it's working the way you need. Equazcion  ( talk ) 13:36, 1 Jul 2015 (UTC)
 * You are awesome (/me giving you cookie)! But I want to ask you to check it again, please. I maybe, somehow messed it up and can't find where I did something wrong -.- Everything works fine, until I have item that is composed of 3 items. It puts "item3amout" into "item2" and "item3cz" into "item2cz". Sorry for bothering you with this! Kvikk (talk) 15:47, 1 July 2015 (UTC)
 * The template code was fine. On the page you were just putting some of the amount numbers before the czech names. Also remember the trailing | after the czech name even when there is no amount number. See here for the edit. Equazcion  ( talk ) 15:57, 1 Jul 2015 (UTC)
 * Oh and thanks for the cookie, it was delicious :) Equazcion  ( talk ) 15:59, 1 Jul 2015 (UTC)
 * I'm such a Derp -.- I got it now! Until now I thought I'm good at this stuff… So again – thank you very much. Kvikk (talk) 16:05, 1 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Template code is very strange, it still gives me plenty of trouble often. No problem :) Equazcion  ( talk ) 16:13, 1 Jul 2015 (UTC)

Adding sold items
Ok so its been a while since ive done this, but i recently got a http://terraria.gamepedia.com/Yellow_Counterweight# from the Skeleton Merchant. I forgot to get proof for it but could you give me instructions on how to add a item from the Skeletons merchants "items sold" tab? it would really help if you talked to me about this, please email me thesquiddy@gmail.com or reply to this message.
 * It looks like the item has now been added. See here for how that was done. Equazcion  ( talk ) 10:29, 2 Jul 2015 (UTC)

Unobtainable items
I think the All Fragment Axes and Hammers are unobtainable too.
 * Looks like you're right. Thanks, I'll get them fixed up. Equazcion  ( talk ) 02:54, 5 Jul 2015 (UTC)

Thanks
I can't believe Terraria has gotten this far! I just wanted to thank all you at Terraria wiki for helping me from being a noob with a Copper shortsword to being a person with a True Night`s edge! Keep up the edits :) From Retanizer aka RetaR (talk) 20:52, 5 July 2015 (UTC)

Last Prism trivia section
Yo, just to touch base and make sure I'm not overstepping my bounds, I'm just making you aware of the edit warring on the Last Prism page. I've stepped up its protection to autoconfirmed and left a warning on the talk page, but I'm concerned that further involvement on my part could be construed as (or even might be) abuse of power. I think I've got it under control, but if you feel the need, go ahead and step in. Gearzein (talk) 06:23, 6 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Indefinite was overkill, but I agree with semi-protection to help prevent all the "may be a reference to" trivia from being re-added. That material is a matter of wiki policy and can warrant protection. I lowered the expiry to 3 days; we can always escalate if need be. Equazcion  ( talk ) 06:53, 6 Jul 2015 (UTC)

Image link template change?
Did the image link template change at some point? I noticed just now that on the mount page some images were linked as follows:. This image links to the file instead of the actual Pigron Mount page like it used to at some point. (Unless I remember incorrectly?) Adding "link=" to the image link like this: makes the image link correctly. Did you run an automated task to fix all the image links and it missed some pages? -- DataNalle (talk) 23:01, 6 July 2015 (UTC)


 * If you mean the [[File: syntax, that's not a template, but a basic MediaWiki feature that wouldn't have changed. Bare text with no "link=", "frame", or "thumb" becomes tooltip text for the image, and nothing more. This is how it's always worked.


 * The page previously used linking templates for mount buff images : item link, which automatically creates linked images, and which is what we use in most cases on this wiki. When all the 1.3 editing started, someone changed the images to the actual mount characters, and did so manually via without a template -- so no automatic image links.

Lunar_Portal_Staff
Hey you just re-edidet my edit on Lunar_Portal_Staff because I was too stupid to actually make the gif appear. I made a better one. Could you explain it how I can edit it? I copied " File:True_Nights_Edge_Animation.gif|frame|Animation of the True Night's Edge. " (with the brackets) from another page and changed the text and the right, changed the File Name and uploaded the file but it did not seem to work. Thank you for your help.
 * If you're trying to get File:Lunar Portal Animation.gif to show up on the Lunar Portal Staff page now, just replace the "File:Lunar Portal Animation-Light.gif" with "File:Lunar Portal Animation.gif". It appears just under the text. I might be misunderstanding what you're asking, but I hope that helps :)  Equazcion  ( talk ) 16:44, 10 Jul 2015 (UTC)

EDIT: I got it to work. Another question: Is it okay to update older gifs? Most of them look fragmented and damaged.
 * Yes, simply click the existing GIF and then click the "Upload a new version of this file" link. It's just below the file history. Equazcion  ( talk ) 16:49, 10 Jul 2015 (UTC)
 * It's only the thumbnails that look fragmented and damaged because they are encoded incorrectly. If you look at the GIF you recently uploaded even that thumbnail looks bad but animation is fine once you open the file page. --DataNalle (talk) 16:57, 10 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Some actual GIFs do look pretty bad, like the one at Christmas Tree Sword. I wouldn't say this particular one is "damaged", just poorly made -- but some might be. On most article pages you shouldn't be seeing thumbnails (of animated GIFs), so if you do see GIFs that looks odd, feel free to upload new versions. Equazcion  ( talk ) 17:02, 10 Jul 2015 (UTC)

New notice concerning 1.3
Reading the new notice ("Editors, please note: When updating information" [...]), I had to wonder: just how crazy has it been this week? This is obviously a low priority question, but I'm curious nonetheless.--Macks2008 (talk) 02:24, 11 July 2015 (UTC)


 * It's been pretty nuts, we've got over 1,000 "active" editors according to the stat on the main page vs the 200 or so we normally average. I'd gotten used to being able to examine practically all edits but now we're back to relying on everyone for reverts and vandal reports etc.


 * The PC vs console/mobile thing is a pretty muddy area that we don't currently have a great system for addressing. I actually don't think we can expect most editors to appreciate the need to do much more than simply replace old info with new info, especially all the drive-by editors we were bound to see a lot of around this update. Maybe the notice will help but I'm wary of forcing new people to either deal with our half-assed approach or be scared away.


 * Anyway, yeah it's been much more active, but that's a good thing :) Equazcion  ( talk ) 05:30, 11 Jul 2015 (UTC)

Helping Out: How to create GIFs for users of this wiki.
I made a Page on "How to Create GIFs for new users": http://terraria.gamepedia.com/User:M0ritz (saved on my Page). Maby this can be the foundation for a new site in the HELP category.

I created this this site because I was sick of seeing GIFs like this one: http://terraria.gamepedia.com/File:BeamSwordAttack.gif Too many distractions and particles, no clean look and a random things distracting new players from the Animation of the sword.

I also would like to get Feedback. It's my first time on a wiki - I created about 30 gifs for this one but I don't know if that was okay or not since there seems to be no feedback.

Thank you for reading.
 * It was fine! You won't generally get much feedback unless there's a problem :) Your GIFs are actually excellent, and I think they've really improved the articles.


 * I like the idea of creating a little manual on GIF creation, and your looks good. You could copy it to a new page in the Guide: section (click Guide:Creating animated GIFs and copy the code there, for example). Equazcion  ( talk ) 15:10, 11 Jul 2015 (UTC)

Okay i created the page. Another question: I would like to add a "TL:DR" Box at the top right corner, like the item box for every item ... Is this possible? And would you recommend editing the pages with the visual editor or the source editor? The visual editor only always shows a blank page for me so I had to do everything with the source editor and read something about the mark up to create tabls etc...
 * I'll get a template up for TL;DR in a few minutes (it'll be called nutshell).


 * I recommend editing using the source code editor in general, as Visual Editor has never really been reliable, and is much slower. Wikipedia's newer marketing-oriented management created Visual Editor and have been attempting to push it into regular use for some time, but it's frankly still so awful that the community of Wikipedia editors refused to allow that. Roughly a quarter to one half of all Visual Editor edits leave something unintentional behind. Equazcion  ( talk ) 16:40, 12 Jul 2015 (UTC)

Thank you! --M0ritz (talk) 15:13, 14 July 2015 (UTC)

Disappearing drops
The items will disappear after a few minutes if you don't pick it up. Is it a new feature of 1.3 or is it an old feature did exist in the older version?
 * I don't know offhand if this is true, but if it is, it would be a new thing. Although older drops always disappeared if too many new drops appeared afterward, or upon exiting a world. Equazcion  ( talk ) 17:20, 15 Jul 2015 (UTC)
 * Earlier I had items lying on the ground for about 10 minutes and they never despawned. Are you sure they do despawn over time? MinecraftPhotos4U (talk) 17:25, 15 July 2015 (UTC)

Vine
Doesn't my edit also work for the vine page? I mean, when I read it, it made perfect sense and I even checked if it was grammatically incorrect.
 * Sorry I missed this comment before. Your edit changed the text to say "Vine is a crafting material...", however this implies that the word "vine" is akin to a substance, as in "water is clear". A vine is an individual object, so your sentence could be analogous to saying "piano is black", or "apple is red" &mdash; whereas "pianos are black," and "apples are red" (or "an apple is red"), would be the grammatically correct statements, respectively. Equazcion  ( talk ) 18:31, 16 Jul 2015 (UTC)

hey Equazcion Dash here again from the Curse video team
Hey Equazcion,

Mitch/Dash here from the Curse video team, we spoke briefly a while back about collaborations in terms of videos, however I went dark as Gamepedia got shut down (my fault, apologies) the good news is that I have moved into the Curse team and they are extremely interested in covering Terraria more in depth and even have their own private server in the office.

Is there a way to grab your email, so our other hosts and content creators could talk to you about video ideas and embedding? much appreciated!

Thanks, Mitch
 * Sure, but I'd rather not post a plain-text email address publicly here. If you email me via the sidebar link to the left ("Email this user"), I'll reply via regular email and you'll have my address.


 * Also note that things like video topic choices, locations for embedding, and questions of content might better be discussed openly on the wiki. You can still feel free to contact me via email nonetheless, as well as pass on my email address to anyone else who'd like to contact me that way. Equazcion  ( talk ) 18:20, 16 Jul 2015 (UTC)

Sorry
Sorry about my stupid edit that I made yesterday on the S.D.M.G's page. I feel pretty stupid about that now

Banner as a drop
Hello Equazcion, I was wondering, you changed the template for the NPC, but you took the banner=yes as a drop, and placed it as a characteristic of the monster itself, that's because... If you click on the banner you get the info on how it's dropped? --Frenchiveruti (talk) 02:50, 17 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Yup, that's the idea. Equazcion  ( talk ) 03:02, 17 Jul 2015 (UTC)

What's up with the enemy banners being in the Infobox and not where the drops are? Sorry for asking, I just wanna know. OMGIHAVENOUSERNAMEOMG (talk) 03:11, 17 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Read my question right above this one. --Frenchiveruti (talk) 03:16, 17 July 2015 (UTC)

Swamp Thing
Hey Eq, could you please delete the from the page? It's now showing the transparency correctly, I'll reupload it, or you can reupload it too, thanks! --Frenchiveruti (talk) 04:04, 17 July 2015 (UTC)
 * There's no need to delete it, just use the "upload new version" link on the image page. It'll be replaced. Equazcion  ( talk ) 04:08, 17 Jul 2015 (UTC)
 * If you open it you'll see what I mean, there's like 4 new uploads from me, and it keeps failing ); Frenchiveruti (talk) 04:10, 17 July 2015 (UTC)
 * This wiki has a strange image caching system. It can take up to 15 minutes for changed images to actually update and display their changes. If the last one you uploaded was the updated version, just wait a little while and do a Ctrl-F5 (hard refresh) every once in a while if you want to check. It'll show up at some point soon. Equazcion  ( talk ) 04:16, 17 Jul 2015 (UTC)

Abuse filter acting up?
The filter that catches modifier names should have been disabled some time ago. It's not still suppressing page creation somehow, is it? Gearzein (talk) 17:35, 17 July 2015 (UTC)
 * No, I just didn't realize it had been disabled. That's my bad. It prevented a few creations in April and May and I just assumed it was still in effect. Equazcion  ( talk ) 17:43, 17 Jul 2015 (UTC)
 * Huh, I could have sworn it was disabled before that, because it was giving users the business about Deadly Spheres when the solar eclipse news came out back in January. There were too many false positives for it to work correctly against the small number of times where that mistake is made.
 * Also, unrelated, but I could definitely stand to be more careful in copying code. It's actually super embarrassing to make that mistake! Gearzein (talk) 17:57, 17 July 2015 (UTC)
 * It was pretty reasonable to assume the code would just add sections to the current page, so don't be too embarrassed. No matter how careful you are you'll still overlook things like that from time to time :) Equazcion  ( talk ) 18:07, 17 Jul 2015 (UTC)

Lantern wiring
I've added a few sentences to the lantern article and need someone to improve it. Due to your recent activity on the lantern article I thought I could ask you. That's what I've added to the article >> "Lanterns can be toggles on and off via wires. It's important to notice that the wire needs to connect to the chain of a lamp. If the wire is connected to the bulb itself, it will still emit light in its off state. (somebody please improve this. I'm bad at english and writing wiki articles.)" If you have some time please have a look at it and either undo or improve it.
 * Your wording isn't too bad, but I believe the statement is wrong. Which lantern did you test this with? Equazcion  ( talk ) 11:27, 19 Jul 2015 (UTC)


 * I first found this weird behaivor on a glass lantern. I just tested a Shadewood and a Steampunk Lantern with the same result. You can easily reproduce this. Set up a dark room, place the lantern and place wire to the bulb instead of the chain. use a switch to toggle the lightbulb on and off. You will notice that the room is still litten up. Do this again but this time place the wire to the chain. You will notice the difference. It might be a bug. I don't know. And sorry that the formatting of my text is bad. But as I said, I have no clue to properly use a wiki. Intopf (talk) 10:28, 20 July 2015 (UTC)


 * I made a video to proof it to you but you can still test this on your own. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYqXBk_cK5A Intopf (talk) 10:45, 20 July 2015 (UTC)


 * I watched your video and then tested this myself using those lanterns. I wasn't able to reproduce this. The lanterns' light turns off completely whether the wire is connected to the chain or bulb, in my tests. I noticed you have some sort of cheat mod, or something similar, in your video -- it's possible those are causing the glitch...? Equazcion  ( talk ) 23:53, 20 Jul 2015 (UTC)


 * Lol. Yes it seems to be a bug then. I'm using the official dedicated server tool. I also can't reproduce this bug in singleplayer. Sorry for the confusion and thanks for your time :) ps: I don't use any mods other than the third party tool TerrariaInvEdit.61. It's probably a bug in the server software. I'll report it to them. Intopf (talk) 11:21, 21 July 2015 (UTC)

Chinese prefix
I noticed you added chs to the prefix table. Before I noticed this, I had already left a message for one of the translators regarding its code while it's on the english wiki, and in doing so recommended the prefix zh with a few alternatives; I did this to maintain consistency with the use of zhtw for Taiwanese Chinese. What do you think we should go with? Gearzein (talk) 03:13, 20 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Never mind, I see you've changed the table already. Gearzein (talk) 03:19, 20 July 2015 (UTC)
 * The wiki software has pre-entered languages attached to language codes. ZH, which apparently produces the plain "Chinese" link (this is in the software, or the software's config files that we don't have access to), currently redirects to ZHTW. I'm hoping there's another code that'll produce an adequate "Chinese" language link that we can redirect to these "CHS" pages currently being created.


 * It's kind of a confusing process, possibly made more complicated by the use of some inaccurate codes early on -- I don't think ZH was supposed to be used for ZHTW, but that would be difficult to change now. I'm not sure exactly how to go about this but I'm hoping to muddle through. We might need some Curse intervention though. Equazcion  ( talk ) 03:21, 20 Jul 2015 (UTC)


 * Looks like I found the right code: "zh-cn" produces the link "中文（中国大陆）‎", which translates to "Chinese (Mainland China)". Whew. This language stuff confuses the hell out of me. Equazcion  ( talk ) 03:30, 20 Jul 2015 (UTC)

Thanks (2)
I just saw you clean up a change I made and realized you existed. I didn't know the wiki had admins, but it makes sense... how else would it be so great? Anyway, it seemed like a good time to say: THANK YOU for all the work you do on this wiki. I love the game and I can't imagine playing it without this resource. I'll keep helping out where I can. - Camelotcrusade (talk)
 * I sometimes don't realize I exist either. Thanks for the kudos, it's most appreciated :) Equazcion  ( talk ) 07:06, 20 Jul 2015 (UTC)

Unable to edit Itailian Wiki?
Recently I was trying to create a page for the Terraria Itailian Wiki. But when I went to save my edit, it said that my edit has been subjected to a Non-Construtive edit. I put useful info into the page, not vandalism. Is there any way you can help? OMGIHAVENOUSERNAMEOMG (talk) 05:28, 22 July 2015 (UTC)
 * I was editing a filter for foreign translations at the time, and amazingly it managed to catch this edit (by both you and an IP shortly beforehand) in the couple of minutes it was active for testing. I actually saw the edit to Steampunker get caught in the log and everything. You didn't actually get flagged as a vandal or anything- that was the default filter message, and what it was checking for would've flagged you regardless of page content (because I wrote it wrong). I've repaired the filter and it should be possible to create the page at Steampunker/it now. Apologies for the inconvenience! Gearzein (talk) 05:31, 22 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Ok, thank you Gearzein ^v^! OMGIHAVENOUSERNAMEOMG (talk) 05:37, 22 July 2015 (UTC)

subst?
I'm trying to make a couple more mobile recipe readditions, specifically the Slime Crown recipe on Altar, and I've run into something I've literally never seen before now. Template:Demon Altar Recipes has a warning to not edit the template itself, but to instead make changes to Altar itself and replace the entire template with.

I'm 90% sure that this is a relic of the previous owners and that this process isn't necessary any longer, as changes to the page have been made very recently with no detrimental effects on server load times, but I'm erring on the side of caution in this case, because from what I can tell from the discussions surrounding it, it was a pretty serious matter when it was implemented. Gearzein (talk) 06:01, 25 July 2015 (UTC)
 * You're correct, that was a real old warning and template isn't used that way anymore. The version of Altar referred to there was from when there was no Crimson version, and was deleted a long time ago. I've just updated things a bit and you can edit it. Equazcion  ( talk ) 11:35, 25 Jul 2015 (UTC)

Interpreting source code
I'm reading through the source code to find data to add to the wiki, and I came across this "discrepancy" while researching the Distorted debuff.

if (Main.expertMode) {	Main.player[i].AddBuff(164, Main.rand.Next(300, 540), true); } else if (Main.rand.Next(2) == 0) {	Main.player[i].AddBuff(164, Main.rand.Next(360, 720), true); }

In this case, it appears as if the duration for the debuff in Expert Mode is shorter than the duration in a regular world. Do you have any idea why this is? Thanks! DoktorFox (talk) 04:05, 30 July 2015 (UTC)
 * No idea whatsoever, but if I had to guess I'd say that was unintended. They probably meant for those to be switched around, with Expert having the longer duration. Equazcion  ( talk ) 04:12, 30 Jul 2015 (UTC)
 * I just realized why it makes sense: in Normal Mode, there's a 50% chance for the debuff to apply (that's what the  is for), as opposed to a 100% chance in Expert Mode. Thanks for the help, though! DoktorFox (talk) 04:35, 30 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Ah, that makes sense :) No problem. Equazcion  ( talk ) 04:40, 30 Jul 2015 (UTC)

 * I've changed it using Javascript, which I think is the only way without requesting wiki config changes. This won't have any effect in Google results etc, but it will change the browser title display. If you wanted it changed for reasons besides the display let me know and I'll see if they can change the config settings. Equazcion  ( talk ) 07:01, 1 Aug 2015 (UTC)

CE
So let's say one of us roving users decides to do some copyediting ourselves? What exactly is the upper limit on thesaurus usage? 76.125.252.80 09:08, 1 August 2015 (UTC)
 * We don't set those limits ourselves. The exact limit is 23 minutes of total thesaurus usage per day per wiki, with no more than 2 hours or 180 words per calendar week (whichever is hit first). Holidays and leap years complicate things further. Webcam users don't need to worry much: You'll be notified automatically when you're about to go over your limit, as the site tracks editor eyeball focus on synonym text not served by a wiki.

Dye question
I will just askyou a question about a gif you post on this wiki.

http://terraria.gamepedia.com/File:InfluxWaverDemo.gif

Can you tell me what dye you ve used and social stuff and social accessory for having this skin?

Thanks =)
 * That wasn't me. I only cropped a GIF someone else posted. The original author was User:Deltacrafter. I'm not sure which equipment they used. Equazcion  ( talk ) 17:03, 1 Aug 2015 (UTC)

Shadowflame knife
Might be a silly question, but do you remember what dyes you were using in this gif you posted on the page?95.65.64.76 15:17, 3 August 2015 (UTC)
 * I think it was teal dye on Beetle Shell. The red fists and feet are from a Fire Gauntlet (no dye), and a Frog Leg with red dye. Equazcion  ( talk ) 15:40, 3 Aug 2015 (UTC)

Animal character?
is there ever gonna be a thing where you can make a charachter thats an animal?

Polish Wiki Help
Howdy ! I have a few question, could you please answer them for me ? It'd motivate me and help me editing the Polish Wiki ;)

How did you do the background and where did you get the picture from ? Is there any page listing ALL the pages on this wiki ? This would be so amazing :p Do you think the Polish wiki will ever catch up the English one ?

That's actually it, I don't want to overhelm you with questions, as I think you're busy :) --TheGhostCatcher (talk) 19:46, 6 August 2015 (UTC)
 * I took the background image from the Terraria forum. You can use it at your wiki by adding this to MediaWiki:Hydra.css:


 * Special:AllPages will show all pages in a wiki.
 * I can't really say whether or not the Polish wiki will catch up to the English one. I guess I'd suspect the English wiki will usually be ahead of most or all the other languages just because the game is originally released in English. Equazcion  ( talk ) 00:13, 7 Aug 2015 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much ! So, bye :) --TheGhostCatcher (talk) 08:58, 7 August 2015 (UTC)

Files
I think better idea for interwiki files is making in English Wiki rule: "If file unused in local (english) Wiki, that file can be deleted, but this file must be merged to all Wiki projects that already used this file.". It means that if you want delete, for example, File:Wandering Eye (2nd form).gif (you earlier do it), that you can do it (again) but check all wikis, and upload this file to all wikis where it uses (for example, delete there and upload to Russian Wiki). What do you think? ← Alex Great talk 10:54, 7 August 2015 (UTC)

Please archive your page. Its very long. ← Alex Great talk 10:58, 7 August 2015 (UTC)

Trying to add 1.3 Antlion sprite, file history bugs out
Hello Equazcion,

I just tried to update the antlion.png sprite to the 1.3 version. However, the file I uploaded somehow showed the same image as the old sprite. I reverted my change and tried to upload it again. Only then my previous attempt, now reverted, showed the actual file I uploaded. I tried to revert to my first change again as it now showed the actual file I uploaded, however this just showed the old version AGAIN. It looks like the file history completely bugged out... making it impossible for me to update the sprite, as well as leaving a messy file history record.

Could you please take a look, and maybe try to revert to the actual new sprite? (And maybe clean up all the unnecessary reverts)

Myrmeleon (talk) 10:33, 10 August 2015 (UTC)


 * It takes a while for images to update across the wiki. Give the software about 10 to 15 minutes when uploading new images over old ones, and try clearing your cache if the old image is still displaying. By now the new one should be up- it's displaying properly for me, anyway. Gearzein (talk) 10:10, 10 August 2015 (UTC)

The DPL on the Swords page?
The changing over to the Dynamic Page List format on the Swords seems to have messed with the ability to sort by damage, as it now sorts by the first digit in the damage rather than by the number as a whole. Should it just be reverted for now, until it can be fixed on a test page or something of the sort?
 * I'm pretty sure I know the cause. The old table had pure numbers as damage values, and the new one has some text included for some items, so the sort defaults to alphabetical for the damage column. This should be dealt with via some changes to the item infobox that standardizes the way additional damage notes are entered. Until that's addressed, the sort issue is relatively minor and I don't think we need to revert. Equazcion  ( talk ) 22:24, 10 Aug 2015 (UTC)

Ajax button
I've noticed there is a new "ajax" button next to every rollback and patrol button. Since when is that there and what does it do?  Chrisf1020  (talk)  17:13, 13 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Ajax Rollback rolls back without having to go to the "action complete" page. Notably, these rollbacks are flagged as bot edits. Ajax patrol is presumably intended to do the same thing but seems to just return an error message. Gearzein (talk) 18:03, 13 August 2015 (UTC)


 * Ajax rollbacks are included in a new Gadget called "Ajax Sysop" (see your preferences -> gadgets). I added it yesterday and enabled it by default for all admins, because it includes a feature that lists all talk and sub-pages when you perform a page deletion -- I feel this is an important feature that's otherwise missing from MediaWiki. You can however disable it for your account if you want.


 * I'll take a look at those patrol links though. If they're not working, I'll try and get a customized version up that repairs or removes them (I didn't write this particular gadget and it's currently being pulled from an external site). Equazcion  ( talk ) 20:26, 13 Aug 2015 (UTC)
