Vandalism
User Nakiejuice is adding inappropriate and incorrect information to pages.

His only two edits are both vandalism.  

Would you be able to get him to stop please? Thanks :]

Also, just out of curiosity why doesn't this wiki use the Message Wall system?

 * He's been dealt with. To my knowledge, it's due to preference of the old system. Personally, I prefer this system than the Message Wall.

Hi! I'm just stopping by to say hi, and thanks for protecting the wiki! --Patratswag (talk) 01:38, December 10, 2013 (UTC)

Catching Up
Hey Path, long time no see! Just wanted to catch up a bit if that's okay. I would try to see if you're on Steam but, it's hard to do that in real time, so I figured leaving a message is easier. How is life in your corner of the world? Last I remember you were graduating from school and moving on to work or college yeah? Done anything exciting recently? – obviously the new version of Terraria, how is it? I haven't had the chance to play it yet...

On my end, I've been just crazy busy with work and school. I'm working in an office doing data entry, editing, coding and whatnot for a company that produces online curriculum and E-learning solutions marketed to public school districts. Turns out if you know how to use wikis and MediaWiki software, you can use just about any other content management system with ease XD. Simultaneously, I'm taking night classes trying to get a master's degree, so that thing called "free time", I don't really have much of it anymore :( – but I still have time watch anime at least :)


 * Heya Math, it's good to hear from you again~! Don't worry, I've seen that you've been a little inactive on Steam, so I thought something must have come up. :) It's not all bad, summer isn't my favorite season here as it's the "least constant", in terms of weather stability. T_T At this stage, I'm preparing for my final exams, then I'm talking to an old family friend to see if I can get into an Electrical firm as an apprentice. I quite like the new versions, though it's a little hard to keep up with all the hotfixes, heh. I'm sure you'll enjoy it when you get the time to do so. ^_^


 * Wowsers, sounds like quite the workload! Though, it does sound like you don't mind all that much. :P No matter how I look at it, it's an admirable thing that you're doing. All that study, as well as having time for anime! :D

Bosses Page
would it be cool if i changed out the bosses page layout for the layout here? its all the same info except i added the ice golum to mini boss descriptions. ~ Juper0 (talk)

Icons on Main Page
How do you make those icons on the main page that direct you to different areas of the site? I especially like that they have "lava" trails on them when you mouse over.

Thanks,

Accessory Template
Hey Path, I tried adding to the Accessories template as it was really outdated. I noticed that the thing is kinda messy, was wondering if you could somehow work some magic and and streamline the process a little.

Thanks :P LumpZ (talk) 14:58, November 7, 2013 (UTC)
 * This all depends on what exactly you're trying to add. D:
 * Sadly, I've been unable to play Terraria for a little while, as it's exam period for me at the moment. If I have a list of the things that should be added, though; I could look into doing so. :)

Licensed Video Swap Tool
Hey there, The Pathogen. My name is Doug and I'm a member of Wikia's Community Development Team! Wikia has recently updated a new admin tool for videos called Licensed Video Swap. This is a new tool that allows admins to quickly swap embedded videos on your wiki from outside providers (such as Youtube, Vimeo, Dailymotion, etc) to the same (or very similar) video that exists on Wikia Video. The benefit being that the videos hosted on Wikia Video are fully licensed and will never be removed for a licensing issues.

You can read about the updates to the tool on this staff blog. and I am available to help you if you would like any assistance switching any videos out on your wiki, it's your call. Thank you and have a good one! TheBlueRogue (profile)•(talk)•(email) 22:26, November 18, 2013 (UTC)

Hi there Pathos.

First I would like you to know I very much admire what your doing for the community of Terraria!

Then I'm asking myself : is this the right place to ask questions about the game ? Sorry if it is'nt!

The matter is, I'm afraid I'm stuck. I want to make the chlorophyte drill, but the drill itself is made out of chlorophyte,

and you need it to mine the chlorophyte ore. Seems impossible to me ! Could you please help me ?

Thanks for your time ! P2u (talk) 19:22, November 28, 2013 (UTC)

Disabling Achievements/Spam Blogs/other stuff
Hey Path. How're you doing?

Anyway, a few things:

Considering how we've had a large number of users creating low-content/spam blogs or otherwise farming for achievements over the past few months, I talked with a few users a little while ago (including and, among others) about potentially disabling achievements on this wiki. Would you have any particular objections if this were to happen? As I've expressed in the past, I feel like disabling achievements at this point would have minimal impact on a wiki of this size, so I'd like to think that the good in such a decision would outweigh the bad.

Additionally, do you think it would be a good idea to make a way for users on this site to propose new wiki policies? It has become more and more clear over time that there are some things (such as categories, the aforementioned blog posts, etc.) which desperately need to be regulated (or at least better explained), but there isn't really a way of doing that at the moment (there have been a couple of attempts at policy changes in the forums over the past few months, but they didn't really yield any results). What I had in mind for this purpose was creating a template like this one to be placed on the proposed policy page, then discussion about the policy would take place at Terraria Wiki talk:Policy. If need be, we could update MediaWiki:Community-corner, MediaWiki:Communitymessages-notice-msg, and MediaWiki:Wiki-navigation to make new policy proposals more visible.

Let me know what you think!

 * Hey Oscurita, long time no talk! :) Looking at the content of those blogs, as well as the recent (and not-so-recent) influxes of blogs akin to them, I can see where you're coming from. Personally, I don't mind either way; whether I'm top of the achievements board or not even in the top ten doesn't bother me as much as it used to (I was honestly pretty obsessed with maintaining the top spot for quite a while, though that was several months ago now), so I would have to say it may be a considerable option. I do think that achievement farming on a wiki as large-scale as this one (if not in general) could prove very problematic in the long-term.


 * In short, no particular objections from me. It may even prove to help the growth of the wiki, with more editors focusing on the content rather than the "rewards" so to speak. Now, in relation to the second point; I think that is an excellent idea. All of the latter suggestions appeal to me greatly, and I think it would help improve the regulation of many things on the wiki, not just "spam-like" blog posts. :)


 * tl;dr: I approve of both suggestions at this point in time, you have my ^_^


 * Pretty much everyone I talked to about it agreed, so achievements have been disabled*.


 * More importantly, the Proposed Policy template has been implemented (and mentioned in the MediaWiki pages I linked above, explained in Terraria Wiki:Policy, etc...)! I ended up creating a proposal for changes to the Image Policy in order to test it out, which can be found here. Feel free to comment on it if you have time. :)


 * * (Interesting aside about achievements: apparently, if we ever want to re-enable them, they would not actually be fully reset – instead, they would be in the state they were in when they were last disabled. Something to keep in mind if the proposed policy...policy works as planned.)

Hi
Thanks so very much for your kind words. I'm really hooked on editing right now, and there's so much work to do! Exitwound 45 (talk) 00:33, March 14, 2014 (UTC)

Rollbacker nomination
Hi Path.

Not sure if you noticed, but there's a Rollbacker Nomination for that's been going for a little over a week. Would you mind commenting on it and closing it when you get the chance?

Thanks. Oscuritaforze (talk) 20:30, April 16, 2014 (UTC)

Manual of Style
Hey Path. 'S been a while, hasn't it? Hope you're doing alright.

You may or may not have noticed, but there is currently (finally!) a discussion going on regarding implementing a manual of style on this wiki. Considering how this is a particularly major policy change (based on the discussion from a few years back on the testing wiki), your input would be greatly appreciated (if you have the time to give it, of course)!

Thanks! Oscuritaforze (talk) 20:45, June 13, 2014 (UTC)

Thank you for telling me. I was not aware of what I was doing was irrelevantPixel Eldon (talk) 21:28, September 13, 2014 (UTC)

Private Talk
Hey The Pathogen, I just want to ask you somethhing privatly but I don't really see you in chat and I don't want to write it on your talkpage. Where would I talk to you on. (Like an email or something)

Hey pathogen I saw what you said in my notifications and you r right cause I play kindle fire terraria and the recipe for crystal storm is different if you want to know more just give me a yell I'm on 12/7

Sorry to bother you here, but
On the Minecraft Wiki, one of my rollbacks (CP Lover 1) wants to become an administrator. I personally believe he fits the job well, and he's been contributing daily for a few months. I don't feel right making a decision like this without either you or Sharple's approval, and since he isn't active anywhere, I figured I'd ask you. I know this isn't the best place to ask, but I figured you might actually see it here :P
