Welcome
Hi, welcome to Terraria Wiki! Thanks for your edit to the Snatcher page.

Please leave a message on my talk page if I can help with anything! -- Gracey91 (Talk) 06:47, 12 October 2011

Hi I have done a page and the name of this page was actualy given to another page, so you have done anything, now stand there something about deleting the page?

can you define me how I change the name so it won't have the same name of an other page?... -.-

H4rd5tyl3 01:23, October 18, 2011 (UTC)Tony aka. H4rd5tyl3

Sorry I'm new here and I am just a pupil from Germany, I've done a lot with Google-translate :-/ H4rd5tyl3 01:30, October 18, 2011 (UTC)

Signature Test
Well, hopefully this works! 05:29, October 26, 2011 (UTC)

Signature Picture
Hey, I seen you uploaded a picture for your signature. Sorry to say this is against the wikis Image Policy to upload non-terraria related pictures, so i'll have to remove it. But you can easily upload the picture to photobucket and then use the url to show the picture. If you need help with that, let me know. Thanks Gracey91 (talk • contribs • count) 06:20, October 26, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hey, just letting you know i did get your reply and I'm working on it. Hopefully i will have it working for you soon. Gracey91 (talk • contribs • count) 18:15, October 26, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hey, I personally would allow it but its not something i can change(as far as i know). The accepted sites are set by wikia. But if you know a way to change it, i will add it for you. I know what you mean with photobucket, I've had a number of issues with them and i only upload pics i use on the wiki. Gracey91 (talk • contribs • count) 10:48, October 27, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hey, thanks for that info. I have enabled hotlinking from tinypic.com now, if you have any issues with it, let me know. Gracey91 (talk • contribs • count) 06:58, October 28, 2011 (UTC)

Signature
Hey, i have made some small adjustments to your signature, i hope you don't mind. Since you added the Category Noindexed pages, to your signature, it causes the category to be added to all pages you sign on. I also added an automatic timestamp for you. Btw you don't add the Noindexed pages category to pages, you add __NOINDEX__ somewhere on the page, generally right at the top or bottom. It whats called a "magic word". Gracey91 (talk • contribs • count) 11:44, November 7, 2011 (UTC)


 * Not a problem. I've been quite clueless when it comes to signature formatting using Wikitext, more used to bbCode and HTML. Also I've been wondering, is it possible to use an external image as a link to an internal page? So far I've had very little luck with it, but I thought I might ask while I remembered. Thanks again. 13:14, November 7, 2011 (UTC)


 * That's fine, it can be quiet complicated sometimes. I still often have no idea what I'm doing and have to ask for help too. Images from external sites can't be linked to pages, I tried myself for quiet some time. Ended up asking around and its not possible, sorry. Gracey91 (talk • contribs • count) 13:47, November 7, 2011 (UTC)

False positive
Hey the text you tried to restore caused a false positive with one of the filters, i have adjusted it and it shouldn't cause this issue again. Don't worry about the warning/threat to get blocked, all the edits are reviewed by me before blocks are placed. btw the comment you replied to about the blanking of the page, was the ip who blanked the page in the first place, so i have delete it too. Gracey91 (talk • contribs • count) 08:16, November 10, 2011 (UTC)


 * Thank you for the brisk reply, and i'm glad to sacrifice what I must for facts to prevail. Vandals need what's coming to them. 12:11, November 10, 2011 (UTC)

Dungeon Guardian
OOPS! Sorry about that. K I posted it on the bugs and glitches page. Thanks for letting me know!

Hellexarus 20:29, November 15, 2011 (UTC)\


 * No problem, good to see that we have enthusiastic editors ^_^ 23:06, November 15, 2011 (UTC)

vids and layout
I cant click your signiture fix it dude!

yea def want to get some vids out but im laying skyward sword so its gonna be a little hectic on my channel for a bit. how do you like the new layout?HeroGaming 15:35, November 18, 2011 (UTC)


 * Success! Finally managed to rearrange the linking correctly, it should redirect straight to my talk page now. Also, loving the new channel dude! "HERO IN REAL LIFE OMG" made me laugh! :D 01:13, November 19, 2011 (UTC)

My Signature
Hey, I was wondering how you did your signature like that, and was wondering if you can tell me. Please leave a message on my talk page and we can talk about it, or if you don't want to tell me then just say you don't want to, on my talk page. Thank you.

Hellexarus 16:46, November 21, 2011 (UTC)

Umm... what is the photoshop program? And what is imageshack? I don't really know those programs, and I think this might be a little too much work just for a signature... anyways, I might just keep this one. Thanks anyways.

Hellexarus 15:33, November 24, 2011 (UTC)

Oh ok thanks for the link! I'll try to get my signature PERFECT, but it may take some time. Thanks for everything!!!!!!!!

Hellexarus 14:36, November 25, 2011 (UTC)

Rollback
Hey Pathogen, I watch the recent changes and generally review all edits, so i often see you cleaning up after vandals. I was wondering if you would be interested in becoming a member of "rollback" so you can more easily revert vandalism? Let me know. Thanks Gracey91 (talk • contribs • count) 06:34, November 28, 2011 (UTC)


 * I'd be glad to mate, if it's for the wiki, i'll happily do it. Thank you for considering me for those rights. 11:33, November 28, 2011 (UTC)

Your edits seem good and input from Gracey has prompted me to promote you to a rollback user. My philosophy about promotion is do it when its necessary and to demote after the person becomes inactive. So as long as your helping the wiki you will have the rollback ability. Use your new found power wisely and edit with kindness.--HeroGaming 02:15, November 29, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hey, congrats. Not that your a member of rollback, you'll need to read through this page to see how it works, its a wikipedia page but I'm sure you'll be able to work out what applies here. If you have any questions, let me know. Gracey91 (talk • contribs • count) 02:44, November 29, 2011 (UTC)


 * Thank you to the both of you for considering and promoting me to this position. I'll definitely be able to help sort through more vandals, misguided edits, incorrect information, and pages needing attention. 03:43, November 29, 2011 (UTC)

Terraria 1.1 Playing
Hey The Pathogen, I was wondering if you would like to play 1.1 with me when it comes out. We can start at new chars, new world, the like :) So if you would like to, just feel free to buddy me on steam, if you have it, and I will respond as soon as possible. Thanks.

(Main) Steam - Hellexarus

(Other) Steam - Hellexar

Hellexarus 16:08, November 29, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hey dude, please just call me Path! ^_^ Anyway, my name on Steam is P4thogen, but I barely ever go on it. Feel free to add me, and i'll accept asap. 11:12, November 30, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hey Path! Sorry, my spelling may not be entirley correct because I'm still getting used to typing with this keyboard for my laptop. -.- So anyways, sorry I haven't replied for a while, I've been playing 1.1 and 1.1.1, so I can't find your steam, did you set up your profile? If I still can't find it, another way to add someone is to add their account. Mine is DeltanusEradanis. Thanks for replying ^_^.
 * Hellexarus 15:03, January 9, 2012 (UTC)


 * Hey again Path! Hope your new year is going well, I think I found your steam, but I'm not sure. You don't have Terraria yet do you? Or is it on your wishlist? Oh well, maybe you can add me. I am the only one who has the name Hellexar or Hellexarus, and if someone else has that name, they are copyrighting me. -.- So my steam is Hellexarus, and Hellexar, the only ones. Talk to you later. ^_^
 * Hellexarus 16:54, January 16, 2012 (UTC)


 * Hey Path! I just saw on your profile that you had a Hamachi Network, so I decided to join that instead of adding you on steam (which I already did). So I will join your network and maybe we can play sometime. I can host for us if you want. ^_^ Talk to you later. Hellexarus 20:35, January 19, 2012 (UTC)


 * Hey Hellex, good to hear from you again! I'll have to play sometime later, as I'm going out for the day today, haha. Anyway, we'll have to organise a let's play or something, lol. Later man ^^ 20:39, January 19, 2012 (UTC)

Redirect
Hey i noticed you put the Hallowed page up for deletion. With pages that have the same basic spelling like Hallow and Hallowed, its best to turn the page into a redirect, opposed to deleting it. To make the Hallowed page a redirect you blank it then add this: #redirect Hallow. You just change the link for the page you want it to go to when your redirecting other pages. Gracey91 (talk • contribs • count) 04:04, December 4, 2011 (UTC)


 * Ah, that's a good point, heh. Forgot that I could just have easily redirected it. *facepalm* Thanks for the reminder 04:06, December 4, 2011 (UTC)

Hey Pathogen
Hey Pathogen hows it been? As i'm sure your aware the vandalism has increased some what since the 1.1 update. I'm trying to keep a handle on it but i can't review all edits, so if you come across anyone vandalizing can you message me with the details. Thanks Gracey91 (talk • contribs • count) 05:30, December 14, 2011 (UTC)


 * Heya dude, I sure have - and I'd be glad to message you in the event of any malicious edits that fit the criteria. If there's anything more you need, feel free to ask, and i'll do my utmost to help. 06:02, December 14, 2011 (UTC)

Thoughts on Path
hey you sound like a cool and dedicated person

hey you sound like a cool and dedicated person01:42, December 16, 2011 (UTC)Deend


 * Thanks dude ^_^ 01:45, December 16, 2011 (UTC)

Signature
Nice signature there :D

Vladragon 10:07, December 17, 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks :D 10:14, December 17, 2011 (UTC)

Whoops, sorry.I'll keep that in mind. 10:52, December 17, 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, must be because I use the italian wikia toolbar. 11:07, December 17, 2011 (UTC)

Rolling Edits
Hey Pathogen hows doing? I seen this in the logs and I've seen a few others like it. Edits like the one I linked to should be undone by hand, rollback is only for obvious vandalism/spam. Thanks Gracey91 (talk • contribs • count) 13:51, December 17, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hey Gracey, doing quite well actually, yourself? Sorry about that, just been a little hectic with all the vandalism lately, and I've been clicking rollback simply to save time. I will use undo from now on though. 13:54, December 17, 2011 (UTC)


 * I'm good, just relaxing listening to some music. Thats fine, its mainly because rollback removes an edit from the wiki activity so people don't know its been removed and they can't dispute the validity of the info. Also with pages ips make, you can't move them to there userspace or to a blog. Only accounts can have those pages, generally just mark them for deletion. But if its a reasonable question(something not explained clearly on a page thats easy to find) and you think someone could help, you can move it to the forum, you will just need to add the preload so it categorizes correctly. Gracey91 (talk • contribs • count) 14:00, December 17, 2011 (UTC)


 * Best thing to do when you're relaxing later in the day, heh. Thank you for informing me of that, I'm sure my use of the rollback function, and my renaming of pages, will be considered much more responsible now. 01:45, December 18, 2011 (UTC)

The Guns page
Sorry, but I disagree.Not only does the lenghty version look ugly, but the heading is also chock-full of broken links.Besides, I had added the Space Gun and Flamethrower, you could've left those at least.Oh, and as one last thing, lots of info is not only unclear but also useless (Body Shot?What's that supposed to mean?) 09:04, December 19, 2011 (UTC)

Ah wait, got a better idea.I'll replace the component's name with an icon.This should keep the table tidier.


 * Thing is with the lengthy version, it gives much more info. This wiki is here for people to learn, to know, to contribute information. The lengthy version gives this information. 06:39, December 20, 2011 (UTC)

Vandal?
Hi, i mad a major update on the Magic Power Potion, since some vandals just ruined it.

I did a major good update, but then you edited and removed it all, why?


 * Check your talk page. 11:30, December 20, 2011 (UTC)

Done
Done, isn't it strange how they undid the edit straight after vandalizing it. Gracey91 (talk • contribs • count) 12:10, December 20, 2011 (UTC)


 * It is, quite. Kind of confusing that I've seen it happen before too, and I think it was a similar IP. 12:12, December 20, 2011 (UTC)


 * Its something i've seen for a long time, i think some people kind of regret it or there just a complete spaz. If you can find a block of ips causing problems i can place a range block. Gracey91 (talk • contribs • count) 12:15, December 20, 2011 (UTC)


 * *shrug* Some people are just strange, heh. I'll certainly keep an eye out for ranges performing bad edits, and then forward any I find on to you. 12:17, December 20, 2011 (UTC)


 * Cheers. Gracey91 (talk • contribs • count) 12:21, December 20, 2011 (UTC)

Vlad
dont write there, leave me alone -Vlad


 * Dude, it's there to write on. Plus, make sure your edits are right. What you were doing before was wrong. Hence why I fixed it, twice. 12:38, December 20, 2011 (UTC)


 * stop writing to me, you give my computer virus -Vladragon 13:01, December 20, 2011 (UTC)


 * Excuse me? I did what ? 13:03, December 20, 2011 (UTC)

Chatmod
Hey seen you hanging in chat, figured you should have chatmod powers too. So you can now kickban people from chat. Kickban once you given a warning for swearing, abuse, harassment, trolling etc. Btw when you kick them you can't set a date so you either have to note it down or just wait till they apply to be unbanned from chat. One last note, if you kick someone, it will say they were kicked by someone else. A wikia account kicks them, you just set the command for it to do it. Kind of strange but it works. <span id="User:Gracey91" class="plainlinks">Gracey91 (talk • contribs • count) 12:39, December 20, 2011 (UTC)


 * Sounds good, thank you for granting me that permission Gracey, I shan't abuse it. 12:40, December 20, 2011 (UTC)

smithy919
can you com on and help me plz


 * ) S919


 * I'm currently trying to, but it won't connect. Is the server up and running, and is port 7777 open? Also, if you have Hamachi, that could simplify matters. 20:36, December 20, 2011 (UTC)

Avatar Info
Thanks for the advice about the avatar. Rainbow Hooves 08:11, December 22, 2011 (UTC) :)


 * No problem at all! Better to help and warn when I can ^_^ 08:49, December 22, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the help with my avatar. I wouldn't have seen it if you hadn't warned me. :) Rainbow Hooves 11:41, December 22, 2011 (UTC) And thanks for deleting the Delete This Page page. It was originally called Nyan Troll so I changed it to Delete This Page. :) Rainbow Hooves 11:41, December 22, 2011 (UTC)

Chat Hacks
Hey since your using chat more, i thought you might like to use this little script i have. It adds extra commands you can use, extra ping phrases can be added and few other things. If you want to use it, go to this page and add this text to it: //

By adding it on the Community Central wiki, it will work on all wikia wikis you use. You will need to clear you cache after you do it, it will be explained at the top of the page i linked to once you add the text and publish it. All commands use a / before the command. To get help use /help. Btw the command nc is Nobody Cares and i links to a page about how no-one cares. lol i used it by mistake. And /coppa is a link to a page about why people under 13 can't use the site. Last thing don't worry bout the name, staff know about this and have no issue with it. <span id="User:Gracey91" class="plainlinks">Gracey91 (talk • contribs • count) 09:10, December 23, 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks for that Gracey, definite big help! Just added it, and I'll test it in a bit. 09:39, December 23, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks
Done and done. Thanks for the heads up and clean up after those clowns. <span id="User:Gracey91" class="plainlinks">Gracey91 (talk • contribs • count) 04:59, December 24, 2011 (UTC)


 * No problem at all, very glad to help. ^ᴗ^ 10:17, December 24, 2011 (UTC)

About the new "Hardmode" categories...
I created them to show viewers which items they can find ONLY in a hardmode world, not necessarily which items are useful in a hardmode world. Unfortunately, as useful as Spectre Boots or Obsidian Shields may be for thriving in a hardmode world, they weren't included simply for the fact that they can be crafted, found, or purchased normally before the Wall of Flesh is defeated.

Shadow Wolf TJC 07:43, December 25, 2011 (UTC)


 * I feel like an idiot currently. I completely forgot that the Wall of Flesh doesn't have to be defeated before you can find the Goblin Tinkerer. I apologise for my trouble-causing. 07:44, December 25, 2011 (UTC)


 * No worries. The damage done seems pretty minor, so it shouldn't take long to fix. Also, Merry Christmas! :-)

Stuff
Hey Pathogen don't worry about messaging me, it doesn't bother me at all. Even if it did i would just ignore you till i felt like replying. I sent them a mild worded warning. Why is it they don't like you? Did you revert there edit or something? The whole you gave me viruses seems a bit out there. <span id="User:Gracey91" class="plainlinks">Gracey91 (talk • contribs • count) 08:22, December 25, 2011 (UTC)


 * Sorry, I thought that editing other people's messages on someone elses talk page was considered vandalism. Anyway; I think the whole scenario did build from me reverting his edits (They were either completely useless, had major grammatical errors rather than fixes, or had false information) and then myself asking him to stop replacing the infoboxes with text, and to stop calling me a vandal. He then removed all the content on his talk page, and replaced it with "Stop changing this" which I thought was a bit off. I think a little later, he decided to reply to my comment on one of the pages I reverted, and said "Your computer gave me virus" (looked for the comment in question, but I can't seem to find it). I replied, words flew, I asked him to come to chat so we could sort it in a civil manner, but no reply. Nothing else up til now. Thanks for the insight nonetheless though, and a belated Merry Christmas to you! 08:40, December 25, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hey yeah people aren't allowed to edit others messages. I must of missed that. I seen the comment about the virus and them calling you an idiot. Generally i like to give a warning first cos it does often work(many people apologize in the end), if they choose to continue this I'm willing to place a block. Additionally since you are becoming more well known you will find haters against you. Like I'm not saying they're one, but you will have people make some over the top claims just to try to hassle you. You wouldn't believe some of the messages i received after removing useless info from pages. Btw sorry for the late reply, i didn't spot it in wiki activity. Can you put a talkback on my page from now on, Thanks <span id="User:Gracey91" class="plainlinks">Gracey91 (talk • contribs • count) 12:11, December 25, 2011 (UTC)


 * Allgood, I'm just starting to tire of this particular person. I can see where you're coming from about the haters, already been hit by them back on a previous wiki. Funnily enough, I've just started really using the talkback template, heh. If for some reason I don't post one, it tends not to be an important reply is all. But, either way; thanks again, and I'm always glad to help as I can. 12:34, December 25, 2011 (UTC)

Page Rename
Hey i seen you renamed a page to blog. When you did it you forgot to add the "blog" after user. What i mean is its meant to be "User blog" and you just had "User". Also when you move it you have the option to turn the original page into a redirect, with pages you are moving from the content namespace to a blog, you should never tick that box. Thanks <span id="User:Gracey91" class="plainlinks">Gracey91 (talk • contribs • count) 16:07, December 26, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yeahh.. Sorry about all that. After I attempted to move the page to the user's blog space, I was greeted with the message: "You don't have permission to perform that action" and couldn't progress from there. Thanks for the heads-up though, I'll definitely remember for the future. 20:04, December 26, 2011 (UTC)

Crafting Recipe Layout
In infoboxes, when it comes to crafting recipes, I personally think that the using the itemized list approach (using an asterisk) looks better than just putting the different items on different lines (using a  ). It makes it easier to see how many different items are required for the crafting--especially when the item names are so long that they wrap around to the next line. I will continue to use the itemized list layout, though I'm not going to try and start editing wars over it or anything. Both layouts are fine, I just prefer itemized lists. Mathmagician 08:46, December 27, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks
Hey Pathogen, thanks for letting me know. Your getting quite good at dealing with these idiots, by the comments they posted i gather they followed Hero here. For some reason he seems to be a big target for haters. <span id="User:Gracey91" class="plainlinks">Gracey91 (talk • contribs • count) 08:12, December 29, 2011 (UTC)


 * No trouble, I actually quite enjoy undoing what they do, it gives the feeling of ending their fun. ^^ They're probably envious of his popularity, if not that then I'm unsure. 23:56, December 29, 2011 (UTC)

Hey Pathogen, how you doing. I'm doing fine. Peace off.

Link note
Hey just a note, i made a redirect for each of the updates that links to the correct section of the version history page. So you only need to add 1.1 or 1.1.1 etc. just saves time. <span id="User:Gracey91" class="plainlinks">Gracey91 (talk • contribs • count) 12:06, January 3, 2012 (UTC)


 * Thanks for that Gracey, was just wondering if that could be an idea myself! It'll be a great way to decrease clutter in page formatting. 12:08, January 3, 2012 (UTC)

No worries
Thats fine, don't worry about it. <span id="User:Gracey91" class="plainlinks">Gracey91 (talk • contribs • count) 14:42, January 3, 2012 (UTC)

Good point about the pixels
But by reverting my edit you destroyed my other fixes. 

I applied my fixes again, and I kept the pixel information there.

Thanks, 3ICE 11:04, January 5, 2012 (UTC)

Double Badge
Hey i received a reply from staff about the double badge:

"Ah yes, duplicate badges can sometimes occur due to a known bug. Sometimes when users edit a page and hit "submit" multiple times, it can cause a blip and accidentally award two badges. I've sent your report over to our technical team who will being removing the duplicate badge shortly. :)"

So you were right. At least you will still be #2 even with the points loss. <span id="User:Gracey91" class="plainlinks">Gracey91 (talk • contribs • count) 04:41, January 6, 2012 (UTC)

Reverting Edits
It did do something, a word was part of a hyperlink that shouldn't have been, so I removed the formatting. Don't know why you reverted the first edit as well, but whatever - knock yourself out. Changed "Items that are excluded include armor, vanity items or special items such as the Grappling hook." to "Vanity items, armor, and special tools such as the grappling hook are unable to be reforged." which I assumed was more organized, but apparantly you liked the old version better.

Dzylon 12:19, January 6, 2012 (UTC)


 * I apologise for that, it seems my editor change-checker page is malfunctioning. Just checked it now and it's showing changes that never appeared. Also, please remember to make a new section when posting on someone's talk page. 00:28, January 7, 2012 (UTC)


 * It's no problem, and I'll be sure to take your suggestions. It's been a while since I used the wiki interface. Also, I'm reverting the page back, if that's alright with you.

Dzylon 15:39, January 6, 2012 (UTC)


 * That's perfectly ok with me! ^_^ 00:28, January 7, 2012 (UTC)

Admin Nomination
hey my friend thanks for all your help on the wiki. if you would like to be an admin please let me know on my talk page. i only have a few things that i want to be done certain ways and if your ok with those then i would like to have you on the admin roster.

things that i think are very important for this wiki if you can deal with how i run a wiki and my horrible grammar/spelling then i would love to have you on the wiki as an admin. (text isnt my thing. I'm more of a visual person.)HeroGaming 01:18, January 19, 2012 (UTC)
 * i built this wiki with video so it should remain video focused.
 * admins must really enjoy the game
 * the front page is something i am very careful about so i dont like any real editing on it without first talking it over.
 * i am very good at marketing because its what i have done for income for several years so i know how colors and articles should look and what brings traffic and what causes people to leave so on the marketing aspect i am not very good at taking input because i know what i am talking about so i tend to butt heads.
 * admins have to be active to remain admins its not a forever thing.
 * i dont ever intend to promote another bcrat unless i decide to leave the wiki so you would have to be ok with knowing that i want the wiki to always have a final word.


 * Hey there Hero, thank you for considering me for this role! I'll leave my full reply on your talk page. 01:39, January 19, 2012 (UTC)

Admin
Hey, fellow new admin! I look forward to working with you. I know that we haven't talked too much in the past, but let me say I'm a big fan of some of the templates you introduced, etc.

I took the liberty of giving you and myself all the usual admin coloring on the site. In case you're curious how I did it, the files I modified are
 * MediaWiki:Wikia.js/userRightsIcons.js (gives you the admin/chatmod icons)

Anyways I'll be around if you want to talk. I keep a lot of tabs open in my browser usually, so I kind of don't like using the chat because of all the clutter/multitasking I've already got going on. But, if you want just send me a message and I can jump into the chat. Also, if you want to talk about internal business outside of the wiki, I can give you my email address / youtube / etc. Just let me know what your preferred method of communication is and I'll give it to you.

 * Hello there! Great to see you're already getting off to a start, as I'm still waiting on the permission changes, heh. I very much look forward to working with you too, and I return your compliment on the templates, but in the fashion of categories - reason being you've done some serious organization that's easily worthy of merit.


 * Hmm, interesting in how you did those, I wasn't aware it was done in that manner. I regularly use Evolve/Raptr/Xfire/MSN for chatting (Through the base application of Evolve - Due to multi-platform messaging capabilities as well as allowing for messaging while gaming)


 * I'll be glad for you to be around should I need help on anything, or a chat on anything I'd like a second opinion on. And don't worry, I know the feeling about multi-tabbing, heh. Anyway, that's all I can think of saying for now, haha. 06:03, January 19, 2012 (UTC)


 * Hey, sorry, I wasn't aware that you're still waiting on permissions. I just read what Hero said and your reply and so I assumed that he had made you an admin. I really should have actually checked the user groups before preemptively making those changes.

Mathmagician ( Σ talk ♥ blog ∞ contributions ) 06:29, January 19, 2012 (UTC)
 * I think that Hero probably will and should make you an admin though, because you've done a lot, you're active (many admins here aren't) and you even have some seniority over me. I'm going to leave the changes for you the way they currently are in confidence that Hero is going to follow through with making you an admin. If for some reason he doesn't... I will sadly have to change the coloring back =(


 * All is well, I don't mind waiting as it won't really obstruct any edits I'll make, heh. I thank you for the recognition, and you certainly deserve it yourself! You've flown up the leaderboard from the edits made, as well as completely reorganizing several aspects of the wiki that really needed it. I'm sure we'll manage some good things for the wiki, working together. Guess we'll just have to wait and see how things turn out, eh? Haha, take it easy. 06:47, January 19, 2012 (UTC)

Yeah it's either that it's not working or I'm not using it right?Donoman 05:08, January 19, 2012 (UTC)

possible admin
hey i want to clear up a situation with another admin before i decide to promote another first. sorry to leave you in limbo but i want to make sure that is all cleared up before going forward with a second admin. it will be a few days before i make the decision. again sorry for limbo! 1000 apologies.HeroGaming 11:40, January 19, 2012 (UTC)
 * All is well, all is well! Haha, no worries Hero, take your time. I don't mind waiting, and it's better to deliberate and decide than make a decision and regret it later, we all know that to be true. Also gotta say, saw you liked Sekirei too! :D I might actually rewatch it, after I finish with Death Note, heh. Anyways, Catch you later! 11:42, January 19, 2012 (UTC)

Chat Glitch
Hey Path. Yea I understand why you kickbanned me temporarily, I think its either my internet, or a bug in the chat. Well anyways, I joined your Hamachi, and all that, and maybe we can play Terraria sometime. Thanks again. ^_^

Redirects
Hey hows doing? I seen you made a Minerals redirect to the Category:Minerals. It isn't needed since searching Minerals will take you straight to the category page anyway. Thanks <span id="User:Gracey91" class="plainlinks">Gracey91 (talk • contribs • count) 06:02, January 20, 2012 (UTC)
 * Heya Gracey, doing quite well actually, heh. Reason I made the redirect was to make pages a little smaller and more organized when Material items were linked in the "Type" section of the infobox, just to save a little space. Thanks for the maintenance anyways though ^^ 06:25, January 20, 2012 (UTC)


 * Oh i see, I'll make you a template for it. I don't like the idea of cross-namespace redirects. <span id="User:Gracey91" class="plainlinks">Gracey91 (talk • contribs • count) 06:33, January 20, 2012 (UTC)


 * Ahh, ok. Thanks again Gracey, sorry for the trouble caused though, heh. 06:35, January 20, 2012 (UTC)


 * Don't worry bout it, its nothing. I have made the template, its here. Its not quiet as fast as the redirect but you only need to add a couple more characters. <span id="User:Gracey91" class="plainlinks">Gracey91 (talk • contribs • count) 06:50, January 20, 2012 (UTC)


 * Very nicely done, that'll serve well for the little redirects needed, heh. Thanks! 06:51, January 20, 2012 (UTC)


 * Thanks and no worries. I enjoy making templates. <span id="User:Gracey91" class="plainlinks">Gracey91 (talk • contribs • count) 07:07, January 20, 2012 (UTC)

Categories
Hey Path hows it going? I seen you made some new categories a while back, there listed here. Don't worry about Browse it can't really be categorized, but can you add the other 2 into a category? I figure you had/have a plan on where they should go? Thanks <span id="User:Gracey91" class="plainlinks">Gracey91 (talk • contribs • count) 07:28, January 27, 2012 (UTC)


 * Heya Gracey, good to hear from you, and I hope you're well. Done and done, though I actually didn't know I had to categorize the categories, heh. Thanks for that (°▼°) 07:50, January 27, 2012 (UTC)

Undone change - please undo or explain
The changes I made to the gun were from mousing over the crafting info in the game, not from the actual item after I created it. Other similar items, like the Megashark, still had the correct stats when checked this way. Please revisit this change and verify whether or not the stats have changed in the latest version of the game. I would not think armor and items would affect the crafting menu before the item is created.

Bright Future.
Hey I spoke with staff the issue has ended. Lets Grow the wiki together and focus on the positive future for the wiki together.HeroGaming 01:41, January 31, 2012 (UTC)


 * Hey there Hero, great to hear that! I'll be glad to stand with you and the other faithful editors to keep this wiki up for the masses. 05:53, January 31, 2012 (UTC)

Admin
Great I'm gonna be honest with you, you are being considered heavily for the admin spot but there is some stuff I'd like you do work on. You are a bit touchy when responding to people comments. It seems that your love for the game is translated into pride about the game. If you can try to be more kind and gentle with users it would make the decision easier.

Teamwork
I will also work on being more kind. I have a tone problem and need to lead by example. (I was way to angry and unprofessional during the whole event. For some of the stuff I said and how I acted I am a little embarrassed) So we will work together. Also when it comes to video it's no secrete I am very picky about how it's handled. I will be working out a clearly defined policy that makes it easy for users to know how to submit video as long as they do there best to follow the rules and have the wikis best interest at heart. It was always possible but the guidance was never given which is my fault. More faults I will be working on.

Have a good day don't take the kindness thing personal I am very blunt as well we both need more compassion my friend--HeroGaming 07:08, January 31, 2012 (UTC)


 * It's good to hear an update on the situation Hero, and thanks for putting that forward. I've often wondered if I'm being too harsh in the manner of my replies, not to mention the situation at home has been a little "questionable" in nature lately, hence the many different types of reply I've left. I've continually told myself to try be nicer in many situations, though it seems I need to try harder; and that I shall do. I will admit I'm quite proud of my own achievements ingame, though I wish not to boast on them, and I'm quite proud of the game in general, as I enjoy it more than any other game I've come to play, even more so than Skyrim (I've been an Elder Scrolls fan since Daggerfall). I'll also admit I'm quite easily angered when I'm accused of something I didn't do, or when I'm insulted, though that's a pretty general reaction.


 * I'm honored to hear I'm still being considered for the position of admin here, and should it be decided in my favor, I'll be certain to do my utmost to uphold the quality of the wiki, the information therein, and the happiness of the community too. I'll patiently wait for your decision, in the meanwhile working on my own faults, helping the community through their troubles, and if you so wish, helping you on anything you need.


 * We'll come to see this wiki become one of the very best, I'm sure. I may not be able to get back on again tonight, so I'll say "Peace Out" now, and let you deliberate on the next course of action. Thanks again ^_^ 07:46, January 31, 2012 (UTC)

Wiki mediation.
Hey Path. I know you don't agree with me about everything but I think you should know we are talking about the whole wiki thing with staff here http://terraria.wikia.com/wiki/Forum:Wiki_Mediation

Feel free to voice your opinion.HeroGaming 03:33, February 2, 2012 (UTC)


 * Thanks for referring that to me Hero, I'll be certain to put forward what I think. 03:36, February 2, 2012 (UTC)



What am I doing?
Hey, can you tell me what I am doing wrong with the editing because I saw you deleted my edit on the antilion page but someone spelled they're wrong they spelled it they'er what am I doing wrong

Donoman 04:00, February 3, 2012 (UTC)


 * "They're" was spelled correctly there, actually. Feel free to have a look, if need be. Thanks. 04:02, February 3, 2012 (UTC)


 * Sorry, look I'm tired I don't have my classes on and maybe feeling a bit hated on, so from now on making edits during the day :-l Donoman 04:07, February 3, 2012 (UTC)


 * That's ok. I just like to see things that're grammatically correct, and look clean, hence my pedantic behaviour when it comes to spelling, formatting and punctuation. 04:09, February 3, 2012 (UTC)

Your userpage and signature
I really like your userpage and signature. Did you draw that yourself? Trollipopz 21:33, February 3, 2012 (UTC)


 * Thanks! I did the design work on the images in Photoshop myself, but I took some of the page design ideas from Math's page. 04:13, February 4, 2012 (UTC)


 * I see. Very nice. Trollipopz 18:30, February 4, 2012 (UTC)

New Sig Functions
Testing, now with date/time and email :). Also, saw the glowing timestamp you did with yours. Nice.


 * Very nice Dzy ^_^ Glad to see you got it all working well. And thanks for noticing, I may yet link it to something, heh.


 * Thanks. One thing I noticed on yours, however, is that the Date and Time are static. It might just be my cache, but for me it's showing "<span style="text-shadow: 0 0 0em #F87, 0 0 0.2em #F87;">Sun, 05 Feb 2012 02:59:36 +0000" no matter what time you posted at. Again, if it's just me, disregard this.


 * Funnily enough, yours is too. :P Thanks for noticing that. I think I've fixed mine.


 * Nah, mine is good, lol. The time updates when the section it is placed in is edited in any way. If you'll look on my page, talk page, sig page, etc. you'll see they're all showing different times. When I post this, the time on your sig will change too.
 * Edit: Yours is functioning properly as well, if you'll look on my page.

Discussions
Discussions about our wiki's video policy and administrative structure going forward will be started tomorrow (Wednesday afternoon/evening) by Sannse. Discussions will use a regular content page--which will basically be a forum with comments. The page itself is for detailed discussion, comments are for the rest of the community who don't feel comfortable with the forum format. I'm sending this message out to some key members of the community here so that they're notified. Let's have a polite and productive conversation.

Chathacks
Hey not sure if you got my message on the official wiki. Chathacks is working fine, its because you have added in into your global.js file on this wiki. Global.js only works on the Community Central wiki, move it to your wikia.js and it will work fine. <span id="User:Gracey91" class="plainlinks">Gracey91 (talk • contribs • count) 04:43, February 9, 2012 (UTC)

Categorizing templates
Hey path i noticed you have made some templates like the HP one. One thing, you need to categorize them. This is generally done by adding to the template in noinclude tags. Then add includeonly tags to the doc page to add the category to the template. Also when you make templates that will display next to numbers its always a good idea to add the parameter to the template so people can add it in the template. So it would be. If you need any help with it let me know. <span id="User:Gracey91" class="plainlinks">Gracey91 (talk • contribs • count) 08:31, February 9, 2012 (UTC)


 * Heya Gracey, I'll have to do the categorizations later because I gotta get off for now, but the HP Template's been revised as you said, I'll also update the ShorthandCode template so others can see it too. Thanks for the pointers ^_^ <span style="text-shadow: 0.2em 0.1em 0.2em #700, 0 0 0.1em #F87, 0 0.1em 0.2em #F87;">09 Feb, 2012 - 08:49:50am

Coin icon templates not working =/
Coin Icon Templates for infoboxes are currently not working on across the wiki. I think it's because you used an if statement that's hiding the image when the template is called without a parameter. (If I'm understanding what you wanted to do, the if statement is unnecessary.)

I'm guessing what you wanted to do was make: 20

By calling the template in either of the following ways: 20

Is that what you were trying to do? If so, try this code for the template:

See w:c:fortesting:Template:CopperCoinIcon and w:c:fortesting:Green Slime for example.

Templates can take hours to update across the wiki, so even if you catch and fix a mistake quickly, it can stick around for hours. Feel free to use fortesting when you're not exactly sure about stuff =)

Anywho I'll leave you to fix the templates. I could fix them myself but I'm not 100% sure what you're trying to do so I'll leave it to you. Mathmagician ( talk ♥ blog ) 02:01, February 10, 2012 (UTC)


 * Thanks for informing me of that Math, I did a bit of an edit on the template pages, they should be working now. What I did was slightly different to what you suggested, but I think it should call the variable better in this way. ^_^  <span style="text-shadow: 0.2em 0.1em 0.2em #700, 0 0 0.1em #F87, 0 0.1em 0.2em #F87;">10 Feb, 2012 - 03:15:21am

New Template
I responded on Math's page. Also, I'm currently in the process of writing a (rather exhaustive) blog post on signature creation. I was wondering if you'd allow me to use your signature in some examples. I, of course, won't make your sig's code available... probably just some sort of quick inclusion when demonstrating the many types of signatures available. By the way, it won't be up for at least another few days. Like I said, it's exhaustive... 1,013 words so far and I don't feel I'm anywhere near completion.


 * Also, what do you think about a spawntime template for Hardmode enemies? I like the idea, but execution sounds sketchy.


 * My my! Sounds like a very exhaustive process dude. If there's anything I can contribute towards the post itself, please don't hesitate to ask me. Also, it's perfectly fine for you to use my sig as an example, heh. I'll be interested in seeing how the post turns out! (Edit:) Also, I quite like the sound of a Hardmode spawntime template, I think it'd clear up many of the pages by removing "This monster spawns when hardmode is activated" <span style="text-shadow: 0.2em 0.1em 0.2em #700, 0 0 0.1em #F87, 0 0.1em 0.2em #F87;">10 Feb, 2012 - 11:26:40pm


 * Heh, it shouldn't be any problem. There's just so very little information for inexperienced users regarding signature creation... anyways, I'll try and come up with some ideas for the Hardmode template. The wiki has no unified format for Hardmode enemy spawn info. On some pages, you'll see "spawns after the Wall of Flesh is killed". On others, "spawns only in Hardmode worlds". Just about every page is different.

Remove New when you can
Hey Path as your going along making changes can you remove the word "new" from anypages you see. As in its a new item from. Since once the next update comes out it ain't new anymore. Thanks <span id="User:Gracey91" class="plainlinks">Gracey91 (talk • contribs • count) 06:53, February 12, 2012 (UTC)

News regarding templates
Hey Pathogen, since you work with templates a lot (and thank you again for the huge amount of work you've done there =), I just wanted to let you know Gracey is working on implementing a sandbox in the documentation for templates. This should allow us to make test edits and see the results without actually affecting the template itself. This is good because templates themselves aren't meant to be used for testing or frequent editing--we don't want to accidentally mess up a template, or cause extra server load by making successive edits to a template.

In the meantime, while we're waiting on the sandbox, please continue to use the For Testing Wiki to get templates functioning, and then copy/paste and publish here on this wiki once you're 100% sure that the code works the way you want. Thanks, and nice fix on the coin templates. Mathmagician ( talk ♥ blog ) 06:14, February 14, 2012 (UTC)

P.S. The Administration Discussion will likely be moving forward pretty soon, be sure to check back there in the next couple days. Also, please feel free to continue to add your ideas and state your opinions on the Video Policy Discussion and give feedback to others ideas.

Capitalization
Hey there, Path. Why do you insist that common nouns be capitalized? I'm not necessarily saying that I'm right, it's just something that bugs me, and I always try to only use capitalization on proper nouns. The wiki should have a unified format when it comes to this, so it's certainly something that needs to be discussed. I await your reply :).


 * Obvious exceptions exist, one of which being in the case of infobox text. I'd just like to prevent an edit war, which I can see happening if we don't get this sorted out. I won't change back your edit to the boulder page or any other until then.


 * Hey Dzy, was wondering if you'd notice that. I simply prefer to save clutter and page size when editing, so unless the case specifically calls for lowercase links, I use the shorthand form. I do it purely to save time, little by little. I also wouldn't like an edit war, so I'll say that now. ^ᴗ^ <span style="text-shadow: 0.2em 0.1em 0.2em #700, 0 0 0.1em #F87, 0 0.1em 0.2em #F87;">20 Feb, 2012 - 07:39:48am


 * I prefer to lowercase common nouns because that is technically the grammatically correct format. Source mode clutter only affects editors, and even then, the difference is diminutive. I can't speak for others, but it's never bothered me. I'd love to get some opinions on this matter other than our own.
 * Edit: By edit war, I didn't mean edit war in the traditional sense. For example, I revise a page, and use pipes. You do some formatting a week later and remove them. I add an image the next month and put them back. That kind of thing. It's still something I'd like to avoid.

Mathmagician ( talk ♥ blog ) 18:22, February 20, 2012 (UTC)
 * (Inserting opinion) This is something that's important and should (eventually) become part of the editing policy, as we do need a standard here. My opinion is that item names and monster names should always be capitalized, no matter where they appear on the wiki, link or no link. This is because 1) they are keywords which need to be recognized quickly and easily by readers and 2) consistency--item and monster names are always capitalized in the game. Aside from that, I am not strongly opinionated on capitalization rules in links. But, this is something that needs to be discussed a bit further.


 * I may not agree, but if outvoted, I will happily conform to whatever policy is enacted :). What of other links, such as Statues? Statues are items in the game, but there is no item specifically titled "Statue". Then there are others, such as Tree, Version History, et cetera. A blog post or forum can be eventually created to discuss this in a cleaner fashion. Perhaps not now, because of other policy discussions, but I do feel it is something that should be worked on at some point.


 * I'd be glad to participate in a vote, should one be used to decide. Though in my own opinion; names should be capitalized regardless of whether they're in a link or not, and whether they contain a common noun or not. I also think we need to advertise the full usage of the and  templates, and finally I think we need to have a proper revision of the "Spawn" section on the monster infobox. I can't actually remember if it was Dzy or Math who suggested it, but I think the Spawn section should be changed to Spawn Conditions, then only used when special conditions are valid, such as the Wyvern spawning at only certain heights as well as only on hardmode. Just my two cents though. Update: I've also been looking further into wikitext, while doing my essays. I'm still here, just lurking more than editing at the moment. ;)  <span style="color:white; font-family: Trajan Pro; font-size: 12pt; text-shadow: 0.1em 0.1em 0.75em #F33, 0 0 0.1em #000, 0.1em 0.1em 0.1em #900;">22 Feb, 2012 - 07:47:52am


 * I did propose a Spawn Conditions section, but Gracey seemed a little iffy regarding implementation. To quote:
 * Regarding combining the 2 sections i don't have a problem its just as soon as i edit the template to change the code it will remove the spawn conditions from all the infoboxes until someone edits them an adds in the correct syntax. So if use do decide to to it you will have to edit pretty much every single monsters page. Choice is yours.
 * He hasn't yet changed the template (that I know of). Also, I (or any other user) could start a forum or blog post within which general policy may be discussed, instead of using talk pages. Awesome new sig by the way :).


 * Ah, I see. I'd be more than glad to help you go through the pages to cleanse the unneeded code, as well as add the relevant code, and I'd even be willing to do the template edit myself (Should Gracey approve and not mind) after testing it properly. Thank you for the compliment, I've been watching yours too; very nice. ^ᴗ^ I'm currently doing a huge revamp of my own pages, and relevant pages that I think actually need it (Such as the ShorthandCode page that Math drew up the original table for, and I made and maintain the template for) while watching for vandals. Heh, it's a fun thing to do to while the time away. <span style="color:white; font-family: Trajan Pro; font-size: 12pt; text-shadow: 0.1em 0.1em 0.75em #F33, 0 0 0.1em #000, 0.1em 0.1em 0.1em #900;">22 Feb, 2012 - 08:01:46am


 * I would have changed it already, as well, but it's Gracey's template, so I thought I'd leave that change to him if he wants it made at all. My sig is getting pretty irritating, what with the WebKit compatibility issues :(. If all you people would just use the superior Firefox everything would be fine, lol.
