Talk:Terraria Wiki

Dedicated Server Page
I think there should be a page explaining the dedicated server functions and how to use it.
 * Created Dedicated_Server page and added basic information.

Ore
Under items do you think we could redirect Ore and Special Blocks to just Ore? -Shadowclaimer 18:07, 18 May 2011 (UTC)
 * The Ore page doesn't really serve the same purpose as Ores and Special Blocks. I would prefer to see Ores and Special Blocks expanded.-- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  18:10, 18 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Hmm hadn't noticed they were all just flat lists like that, thought they linked to full pages on the category of items, my apologies. -Shadowclaimer 18:13, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

Slime
Under "Monsters", it lists Slime as well as Blue Slime AND Mother Slime. I suggest removing Blue and Mother and just letting the Slime article handle them all. --FungusTrooper 13:06, 19 May 2011 (UTC)
 * You can make changes to Terraria_Wiki/editcopy. If approved, and administrator will sync them as appropriate. -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  13:47, 19 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Sorry to be a pain, I can see the main page has been updated, but there are still two Meteor Heads right next to each other in the monster list :( --FungusTrooper 18:28, 19 May 2011 (UTC)

NPC Icon
Can I upload a resized version of the updated icon I uploaded previously? I can scale it to whatever size is necessary. That blurry and outdated icon looks awful.


 * I agree. Let him, or use http://wiki.terrariaonline.com/File:Guidenpc.png . - AgentShawn
 * Yeah, and I can't figure out how to get that extremely ugly interpolation switched to nearest neighbor. Looks so much better with pixel art. I'll fix that now and put it on the editcopy. --Null  Talk  03:45, 6 September 2011 (UTC)

Game controls
Where are the Game Controls wiki page? I only know the ESC key, WASD, 1-9 and left mouse button What does the other keys?
 * There isn't one... so create it :D -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  19:00, 21 May 2011 (UTC)

I created Game controls. If you could expand the article it can be linked from the Main Page
 * Don't forget your slashes BlGuru 18:14, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

"Did you Know" Section
Do you think a possible Did-You-Know section can get on the front page? We can allow it to obtain user-submitted facts and allow 10 or so at a time through a period of time. Not to mention, a featured article page might be interesting too.

Terraria Weapon Overview
Hey all, basically I started a new series on youtube where I take a look at weapons in terraria, give info on their stats etc and give you a verdict on it. The first episode Sunfury is currently on the Sunfury page as somebody suggested I should put these on the wiki. However after putting it on their I thought I should check first, just want to make sure people are fine with these going up. An example of the Sunfury episode is shown here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZYzp2y-9Zo&feature=channel_video_title

Mining Techniques:
I made a page called Guide:Mining_Techniques, I was wondering if anybody had something to add before it (hopefully) goes on the main page? --ThePalindrome 23:36, 27 May 2011 (UTC)
 * It will take a bit more development before it gets a main page link, but keep up the great work! -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  23:39, 27 May 2011 (UTC)

News
How about changing news to be like the other categories instead of just listing a few random bullets, and getting rid of the very tiny "more news" link. The first link could be "Recent News" and have all those things we have now related to internet reviews and steam, etc. The second could be a "Recent Developer Remarks" section that contains all these random Red/Blue snippets we have all over the wiki about "what we plan on adding in the next few weeks." Then we could get rid of all these random one liners that are hidden away on several item pages and put them all in one news section (for example, the ones on all the different biomes). A third could then be patch and content history. --440Music 28 May 2011

Merge sections
I suggest to merge Soils with Ores_and_Special_Blocks and move Gems to Miscellaneous section. --RND 14:26, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

Blurry sprites
All of the sprites on the main page are scaled and blurry. Could someone fix that? Qbicfeet 15:44, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

Player Stats
I've created a page called Player stats.

I think it would be a nice addition under "The Game" main category on the main page. Other things like melee attack speed, mana depletion rates, and/or damage to health could also go there. --440Music 05:48, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

New Version
Time to fix it the front page, it's 1.0.3 now

Link to new version log: http://www.terrariaonline.com/threads/1-0-3-change-log.19653/   --Cloakedboltz 22:10, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

Quick Edit - Broken Link
There's a broken link at the bottom of the page that links to Terraria Wiki

Some suggestions
Stuff I can't do as an anonymous contributor and which would require building some consensus first anyway:
 * Add a link to version history. I'd suggest changing
 * Latest Version is 1.0.3

into
 * Latest Version is 1.0.3


 * Add a link to the list of known bugs, and one to the proposed Guide:Guides portal page (which would be more visible than the list of guides in the sidebar); probably in the "The Game" section which at the moment contains direct links to three of the guides. --The preceding unsigned comment was added by 88.141.47.199 (talk).
 * You can make your suggested changes to the Terraria Wiki/editcopy page. That's what it's there for. -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  20:22, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

Add Jungle
Jungle is not displayed in the Environments section. --Cloakedboltz 19:20, 10 June 2011 (UTC)
 * It is now, per the time of this post. --Cloakedboltz 20:53, 10 June 2011 (UTC)

All the slight variations…
moved to Terraria Wiki Talk:Community portal

Dr. Bones
Dr. Bones's link should be renamed to Doctor Bones -- Kalilla 05:35, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Use the Terraria Wiki/editcopy to suggest changes to the main page please. You can edit that one. -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  05:36, 11 June 2011 (UTC)

"Latest version is 1.0.4"
Hey guys, is it possible you can edit this line so the "1.0.4" text links to the relevant section of the Version page, rather than to the forum-published changelog. Reason being, most visitors to the Wiki that click on "1.0.4", like myself, are likely doing so for a Wiki-text version of the changelog, complete with links to the relevant pages; it gives the same information, but provides a more friendly experience by keeping things interconnected in the Wiki.

I also think it would be a good idea to shift that "Latest version" extract to a template, so that anybody can update it quickly as soon as an update it shipped.

Thanks, RJackson 12:43, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
 * The word Version is linked to the Version history page. The 1.0.4 is linked to the forum. You can suggest changes on the Terraria Wiki/editcopy page that is not protected. -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  12:46, 11 June 2011 (UTC)

Monsters section
Moved to Talk:Terraria Wiki/editcopy

Potions
The Potions page should definitely be linked to from the main page. 79.177.41.203 19:34, 25 June 2011 (UTC)

Game Mechanics
I would like to request permission to add Player stats to the Game Mechanics section on the front page of this wiki. Said article is already in the Game Mechanics Category, so why not be consistent?
 * You can try the change here. The reason it is not there is either because we haven't gotten to it yet, or because it takes too much room. Not sure which. happypal (talk &bull; contribs) 08:13, 13 July 2011 (UTC)
 * OK, first off, apologies for not putting my signature on the first post (I was the one who started this thread). Also, I just noticed that I am not allowed to edit the main page.  Surhotchaperchlorome 14:02, 13 July 2011 (UTC)

Dev blogs link
I think it would be better to use this link as it sorts the posts by start date (with newest at the top), so people can easily spot any new posts: &bull; iLiaWneK &bull; T &bull; C &bull; 11:47, 21 July 2011 (UTC)

1.0.6
When the heck is it coming out?!?!?!?!?!?
 * According to a post on Reddit, some time next month. Link Olrad 12:37, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
 * This is the reason why I haven't been as active. Usually about 1-2 weeks after an update the pages are finished getting cleaned up and the images are fine, but this update is taking a while. I will return with actual edits whenever the game updates. 14:07, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm also holding off some things that I'd like to do because of the update. It's taking so god damn long, but I respect the time and effort it takes to pull it off. &bull; iLiaWneK &bull; T &bull; C &bull; 15:44, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

It's coming tomorrow, could be tonight, IDK. -Meep140

Wiki v Wiki
There are currently two different Terraria wikis. What can be done about this? The other wiki seems to be aware of this. Should the two come to a mutual agreement or mabey be combined? 
 * This is the official wiki. The others are fanmade - there's more out there than just, ugh, Wikia. - Spinfx 08:39, 30 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Wikia used to be quite good, until they were overloaded with pop-ups and ads that take up half the page. I always find that other wikis are better (like this one, or UESP for example). &bull; iLiaWneK &bull; T &bull; C &bull; 10:06, 30 July 2011 (UTC)

my recommendations for 1.0.7 is also a climatic time head of the ocean as a fish Nose jugante poseidon I also like different types of white walls and wall flowers different types of colors and shapes vijilantes statues else is alos being shot enemies but nesesite gold Nose running or Marterial also different types of the floating island in a head nurse Nose like a bird or a cloud and the last thing alos affect climatic time enemies as the player Snow slow Rain: indundaciones and last events of Christmas, Halloween, Easter estodo good that I wanted the google translator does not understand what is screened estoi that I write in Spanish so goodbye

irc link in main nav broken
it should be updated to http://webchat.fossnet.info/?channels=terraria
 * Fixed. 17:58, 26 August 2011 (UTC)
 * It would also be nice if there was a simple server/channel notation for those of us who use IRC clients, if possible!

Character design tips
Hey guys, I make a lot of characters to play Terraria but I can never seem to pick color choices that look good and realistic. I've looked around for an article giving character design tips but I couldn't find any. Perhaps that would be a wise page to make? 174.66.18.53 21:13, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

Terraria 1.1 Wyvern?
Has anyone thought about where to put a link to the Wyvern enemy? I thought it appropriate to place them under Mini-bosses, but I'm still unsure of whether or not they fall into that category. -- Beschutzer 01:25, 5 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Wyvern should go under Common Enemies. This is not a mini-boss, since you can't summon it, and there is no music change nor a message in the chat when it appears. I doubt it should even go under the Rare Enemies category, since they are pretty common. 174.93.195.170 11:59, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

Need to consolidate modifiers
Now that we know more about modifiers and have a modifiers page with subheadings for each item type, we should create a modifiers template to automatically list the modifiers available for each item without having to manually type them in to each item page or replace modifier info on individual items with just a link. Plasmafox 11:36, 5 December 2011 (UTC)
 * This is a wiki. That much information shouldn't just be included on every weapon page. At the most, i'd say that the item infobox could potentially provide a link to the modification page. --JonTheMon 13:31, 5 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Right. The infobox link is a better implementation. Plasmafox 05:46, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
