The Lever is a 2x2 trigger for wiring activation. It is sold by the Mechanic. It can activate Statues, lights, etc. via right-clicking.

The Lever can be placed on any flat surface, the same as furniture, including on Wood Platforms. As of 1.2.3, it can also be placed on walls.

Despite its depiction as a switch with two positions, the Lever does not need to act as an on/off mechanism. When wired to Dart Traps, for example, right-clicking the Lever will always cause the Trap to shoot, the same as a Pressure Plate would, no matter which position the Lever happens to be in.

Notes

The Lever is identical in operation to the Switch. The Lever is easier to see and activate though, as it provides a larger clicking target; whereas Switches can be more difficult to spot and click on due to being only a single tile in size.
Paint can be used to identify what the lever is used for, as well as what each state does. By using a different colour for each side, the lever's two states can be coloured differently; this is particularly useful when the lever does something more complex than an "on/off" function, like switching a minecart track junction. Using non-deep paints will allow the ball to be recoloured while having minimal impact on the lever's arm and base.

Trivia

The inventory sprite shows it switched to the left side, although when you place it, it is switched to the right.
On the Lever's sprite, the base appears to be the sprite of a Pressure Plate, but doesn't show any of the colors that can come from any of the actual pressure plates.

History

1.3.0.1: Updated sprite.

1.2.4: Fixed a bug where only one wire attached to a Lever would work when you flipped it.

1.2.3.1: Fixed bug that allowed levers to be placed and immediately broken.

1.2.3: Now placeable on walls.

1.2: Stack limit increased from 250 to 999.

1.1: Introduced.

-No problem, looks like someone just vandalized it. In the future, the best way to go about fixing almost all problems like this is to go into the affected page's [http://terraria.gamepedia.com/index.php?title=Blade_of_Grass&action=history history] and check to see if someone has altered one of the filenames. The timestamps are in UTC or something, but basically just hit "prev" on the entry on the top of the list and it'll compare the changes. If they're bad, undo them, but check the revisions before it as well. Seems complicated, but you get the hang of it eventually.

-Also, while I'm here, regarding your questions on the community noticeboard- uploading or modifying images isn't necessary too often, but there's not much to it besides using [[Special:Upload]]. Just make sure your image has an appropriate name and that it isn't a duplicate- most images are named for the things they represent, like [http://terraria.gamepedia.com/File:Demon_Altar.png Demon Altar.png], so if a page has a red link asking for something different it's likely been vandalized.

-==The Meatball==
-Protecting [[The Meatball]] was unnecessary, in my opinion. I don't feel this is a matter that requires administrative intervention- I intentionally avoided protecting it myself, both because I believe that this is ultimately a small issue that can be resolved through more diplomatic means, and because I'd personally feel it to be a misappropriation of power. Locking a page to stop someone from making changes you disagree with runs entirely counter to the idea of a wiki, and protection is meant to be used as a maintenance tool, not a weapon.
