: I've deleted the page and posted on their talk page. I don't think they were acting maliciously but this counts as a warning to them for now. [[User:4e696e6a6f795844|4e696e6a6f795844]] ([[User talk:4e696e6a6f795844|talk]]) 20:00, 2 December 2020 (UTC)

{{vandal|194.81.49.186|ip=yes}} Multiple vandalism edits, persisted despite reversions. [[User:2057clones|2057clones]] ([[User talk:2057clones|talk]]) 14:06, 30 October 2020 (UTC)
 
 
{{vandal|204.11.188.94|ip=yes}} History of vandalism, returned after two blocks to continue vandalizing. (If this is already listed farther down, apologies, I couldn't find it anyway) [[User:2057clones|2057clones]] ([[User talk:2057clones|talk]]) 13:20, 30 October 2020 (UTC)
 
 
: Both blocked. Thanks! --[[User:Eraloiz|Eraloiz]] ([[User talk:Eraloiz|talk]]) 15:35, 30 October 2020 (UTC)
 
 
{{vandal|63.152.2.174|ip=yes}} Replacing content on [[Bathtubs]], persisted despite a reversion. Only two edits as of writing, reporting for awareness. [[User:2057clones|2057clones]] ([[User talk:2057clones|talk]]) 00:55, 23 October 2020 (UTC)
 
 
{{vandal|Pcgmrich}} I'm skipping the usual warning I give new members because this one's just doing the same vandalism that Germag2213 does whenever his blocks expire. Probably a sock puppet account. [[User:PuzzledKino|PuzzledKino]] ([[User talk:PuzzledKino|talk]]) 00:38, 26 September 2020 (UTC)
 
 
: Bumping for awareness. (Sorry if I'm not allowed to do this or anything, I didn't see any rules about it, so...) Anyway, they are moving pages in an identical manner to Germag2213, and persisting after reversions. --[[User:2057clones|2057clones]] ([[User talk:2057clones|talk]]) 14:45, 26 September 2020 (UTC)
 
 
:: Blocked, thanks for the report. Gotta protect the [[Enemies]] page. --[[User:Dinoxel|'''<span style="font-family:Helvetica">Dinoxel</span>''']] <sup>[[User talk:Dinoxel|''<span style="color:blue">talk</span>'']]</sup> 15:34, 26 September 2020 (UTC)
 
 
::: Returning to say that they are misquoting people in their talk page as Germag2213 does. Given the severity of Germag2213's actions and the fact that this appears to be a sockpuppet account anyway, this may warrant disabling their talk page? --[[User:2057clones|2057clones]] ([[User talk:2057clones|talk]]) 02:25, 1 October 2020 (UTC)
 
 
:::: Might be preferable yeah, thanks. --[[User:Dinoxel|'''<span style="font-family:Helvetica">Dinoxel</span>''']] <sup>[[User talk:Dinoxel|''<span style="color:blue">talk</span>'']]</sup> 14:59, 1 October 2020 (UTC)

: Blocked. --[[User:Rye Greenwood|Rye Greenwood]] ([[User talk:Rye Greenwood|talk]]) 23:42, 19 September 2020 (UTC)
 
 
:: Thanks! Unfortunately, the block does not prevent this user from modifying their talk page and [[User talk:Germag2213|misquoting other users]], which they are currently doing. [[User:PuzzledKino|PuzzledKino]] ([[User talk:PuzzledKino|talk]]) 01:51, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
 
 
::: Just bumping this for awareness, since I probably drowned my own report in all the edits I made last night. Thanks. [[User:PuzzledKino|PuzzledKino]] ([[User talk:PuzzledKino|talk]]) 17:13, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
 
 
:::: Alright; vandals are usually not deprived of their right to edit their own talk page, so that they are still able to communicate and appeal against the block, but this user apparently has no intention of using that right constructively. Thanks for this followup. --[[User:Rye Greenwood|Rye Greenwood]] ([[User talk:Rye Greenwood|talk]]) 19:18, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
 
 
{{vandal|Theterrariaplayer89}} Created a page documenting a nonexistent item, vandalized one page, and put something strange on the community noticeboard that I'm not sure how to deal with. Has not been warned as I can tell, reporting for awareness and alert. --[[User:2057clones|2057clones]] ([[User talk:2057clones|talk]]) 15:44, 18 September 2020 (UTC)
 
 
{{vandal|76.189.163.233|ip=yes}} History of vandalism. Recently returned from multiple blocks, I believe, to continue vandalizing. --[[User:2057clones|2057clones]] ([[User talk:2057clones|talk]]) 20:13, 17 September 2020 (UTC)

{{vandal|Bazavark}} Repeated vandalism, even after warning. [[User:PuzzledKino|PuzzledKino]] ([[User talk:PuzzledKino|talk]]) 03:38, 5 September 2020 (UTC)

{{vandal|Germagsam221331}} Vandalized the [[Confetti Wall]] page again. I'm posting here without messaging the user first because, if I'm not mistaken, this is the same user who has repeatedly vandalized the Confetti Wall page over the last few weeks, between blocks. [[User:PuzzledKino|PuzzledKino]] ([[User talk:PuzzledKino|talk]]) 01:28, 13 August 2020 (UTC)

: Blocked, but forgot to respond here. Thanks! --[[User:Eraloiz|Eraloiz]] ([[User talk:Eraloiz|talk]]) 21:06, 13 August 2020 (UTC)
 
 
{{vandal|31.19.250.164|ip=yes}} did some naughty vandalism on the [[Last Prism]] page. [[User:EvanPi314|EvanPi314]] ([[User talk:EvanPi314|talk]]) 13:59, 11 August 2020 (UTC)
 
 
{{vandal|208.84.154.132|ip=yes}} Immediately re-vandalized the page [[Pumpkin Moon Medallion]] after I removed their initial vandalism, and is continuing to add further misinformation. [[User:PuzzledKino|PuzzledKino]] ([[User talk:PuzzledKino|talk]]) 06:31, 10 August 2020 (UTC)
 
 
{{vandal|24.101.191.92|ip=yes}} Repeated vandalism on the page [[Confetti Wall]]. Also, this page has seen repeated vandalism throughout an extended period of time and could perhaps benefit from protection. Thank you. [[User:PuzzledKino|PuzzledKino]] ([[User talk:PuzzledKino|talk]]) 01:25, 10 August 2020 (UTC)
 
: Blocked, thanks. --[[User:Dinoxel|'''<span style="font-family:Helvetica">Dinoxel</span>''']] <sup>[[User talk:Dinoxel|''<span style="color:blue">talk</span>'']]</sup> 02:38, 10 August 2020 (UTC)

At this point they should probably activate the anti-vandal wards around every page that has something to do with the word prism. [[Special:Contributions/24.64.85.189|24.64.85.189]] 02:51, 6 August 2020 (UTC)

{{vandal|User-100108363‎}} Randomly moved [[Terraria]] to [[Terraria Wiki:Terraria]] and [[Talk:Terraria]] to [[Terraria Wiki talk:Terraria]] for no reason. [[Special:Contributions/172.58.172.238|172.58.172.238]] 22:15, 4 June 2020 (UTC)
 
 
{{vandal|Boom853}} Seems to be purposefully making edits in small steps to grind up their edit count. Refer to edits such as from [https://terraria.gamepedia.com/index.php?title=Pumpking&diff=prev&oldid=985607 this] to [https://terraria.gamepedia.com/index.php?title=Pumpking&diff=prev&oldid=985627 this], from [https://terraria.gamepedia.com/index.php?title=Enemies&diff=prev&oldid=985578 this] to [https://terraria.gamepedia.com/index.php?title=Enemies&diff=prev&oldid=985583 this], and [https://terraria.gamepedia.com/index.php?title=Molten_Quiver&diff=prev&oldid=992274 this] to [https://terraria.gamepedia.com/index.php?title=Molten_Quiver&diff=prev&oldid=992275 this]. Their entire contribution history is filled with what I'd call "double edits" where they change 1 tiny thing followed by a second tiny thing shortly afterwards. These double, triple, or even quadruple edits are done within minutes of eachother and have no summary, leading to a contribution history of only "Mobile edit, Mobile web edit". While some double edits can be seen to be informative, some are completely un-necessary, such as from [https://terraria.gamepedia.com/index.php?title=Honey&diff=prev&oldid=1013379 this] to [https://terraria.gamepedia.com/index.php?title=Honey&diff=prev&oldid=1013381 this]. If an example of quadruple edits is needed, one can look further on the Honey page. After the un-necessary edit to the wording of their tip, they followed up with these edits: [https://terraria.gamepedia.com/index.php?title=Honey&diff=1013405&oldid=1013385 this edit] adding a useless info box, [https://terraria.gamepedia.com/index.php?title=Honey&diff=1013406&oldid=1013405 the following edit] removing the info box, [https://terraria.gamepedia.com/index.php?title=Honey&diff=1013410&oldid=1013406 the next edit] adding an image of honey in a "Forest", [https://terraria.gamepedia.com/index.php?title=Honey&diff=1013419&oldid=1013414 the next one] editing "Forest" to be "Bee Hive" but with "Bee" and "Hive" being linked separately, and then [https://terraria.gamepedia.com/index.php?title=Honey&diff=1013420&oldid=1013419 this edit] fixing the link to properly point at "Bee Hive". Multiple edits is acceptable but this user is clearly making purposefully incorrect edits to pad out their edit count.

== Please add the Link for dedicated Server Downloads ==
== Blocked edit from a filter ==
 
  +
Terraria was updated and there is a new Terraria Server Software. Found here:
An attempt to add an internation link to a page in another (Russian) language was blocked by the filter "Too many foreign letters or repeat symbols". Well that's how it works I guess. (In that case I tried to add russian link on [[Tile IDs]], but it would also prevent from adding any other link of this kind. The link itself gets blocked even here) [[User:Pickpocke|Pickpocke]] ([[User talk:Pickpocke|talk]]) 10:35, 9 January 2020 (UTC)

== NPC infobox $auto in a mess ==
 
Like take [[Green Slime]] as an example. Expert mode damage 112 max life 324? That's nowhere close to the proper value... I see that infobox template is getting a lot of updates recently and hopefully you're working on this issue and the addition of Master mode NPC stats.
 
 
The Expert mode damage is not just post-Plantera damage either. Check [[Slime#Variants]] where the data is the same as when I first edited Blue Slime to add in Master mode data- Blue Slime is currently displaying the data I updated, and in the brackets with a question mark are the data from $auto.
 
 
The max life and damage data for blue slime are a bit messy from this, I know, but it's better than telling people the wrong expert mode data and missing master mode data.
 
 
I hope that the data for $auto can be fixed and have Master mode data included asap. Thanks a lot! --[[User:Creeper NoDenial|Creeper_NoDenial]] ([[User talk:Creeper NoDenial|talk]]) 15:20, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

== API help ==
 
Dear Devs, I am working on my custom Discord bot (All Credit will be provided once finished) and I was wondering if there was API documentation for terraria.gamepedia.com because I am currently struggling to write a python code since the closest thing I can find is the API documentation for League of Legends' gamepedia (https://lol.gamepedia.com/Help:API_Documentation). Please let me know if you could provide me with a little help or show an already existing help page which I cannot find. Thank you for taking your time reading this email.
 
P.S. In case you're wondering what will the bot do, it will take in the keyword as an input from the user and give it a brief summary which will be taken from you wiki (I was told that all the info here is free to use) {{unsigned|Specialedceo|UTC=22:08, 28 May 2020}}
 
 
: Hello, we don't have a page dedicated to API help, but most of what is described on Leaguepedia's page applies to the Terraria Wiki as well, since both wikis are based on the same software. In particular, [[mw:API:Main page|MediaWiki's API help]] is a good reference, and every wiki has an [[Special:ApiSandbox|API sandbox]] that you can use for testing queries. The entry point is, again, as on all MediaWiki wikis, {{code|/api.php}}: https://terraria.gamepedia.com/api.php.
 
: In general, if you're writing in Python, I highly recommend you to take a look at the two packages linked on Leaguepedia's page, [https://mwclient.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user/index.html mwclient] and [https://mwparserfromhell.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ MWParserFromHell]. I have very positive experiences with them.
 
: Lastly, I'd like to inform you that [[User:MarkusRost|MarkusRost]] has created a bot, "Wiki-Bot", whose functionality is similar to what you seem to want to create. Maybe you can get in touch with Markus if you need assistance, or pay the bot's [https://discord.gg/v77RTk5 Discord support server] a visit.

== Not allowed to make edit ==
 
Hello, I am trying to edit the Gem Critters page by removing a lot of invisible infocards which are cluttering the edit section. In that page, it appears that there originally was an infocard for every single type of critter, but they were condensed into 2 general infocards because they all had the exact same statistics. However, the old infocards were not removed and were instead made invisible by some method, which results in a lot of unnecessary clutter when editing. Would it be helpful to remove these invisible infocards, and if so, how would I or someone else be able to do it without it being denied?

== Vandalism Report ==
 
It seems I have been accused of vandalizing the Guide:Defending Against Events page, and I would like to clear that up. When I wrote the Guide:Goblin Army Strategies page, I wrote that a ditch with a little bit of lava was ideal. It seemed to me the 2 guides were contradicting each other, so I removed the simple ditch on Guide:Defending Against Events. In hindsight, I guess of should've replaced it with the lava ditch strategy. So yeah, sorry about that.

== Breaker Blade ==
 
 
I was trying to add a trivia for breaker blade, but when I put it as a POSSIBLE reference to Cloud's Buster Sword, but there have been no response from the developers, due to me seeing stuff like that, it said the info I tried to put in was harmful. What's up with that?
 
 
== Can't edit Stardust armor trivia ==
 
 
I understand why the page was locked, but since it has been confirmed since 1.4 to be a Jojo reference, the lock should probably be lifted. I was trying to change
 
 
"Due to the community's enthusiasm in comparing Stardust armor to the manga and anime JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders, Yoraiz0r has acknowledged the resemblance and said the armor can be a reference."
 
 
to
 
 
"Due to the community's enthusiasm in comparing Stardust armor's name and set bonus to the abilities of the protagonist in manga and anime JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders, Yoraiz0r acknowledged the unintentional resemblance, and in 1.4 the Stardust Guardian's behavior was changed to even more closely resemble the anime/manga."
 
 
Just to improve clarity to the backwards way the reference got added to the game, but it seems that all edits to that section are locked. {{unsigned|15:21, 5 June 2020‎|96.244.77.100}}
 
: ''"and in 1.4 the Stardust Guardian's behavior was changed to even more closely resemble the anime/manga"'' -- That's not confirmed. They actually said "All resemblance to a certain anime is purely coincidental." Much as that ''might'' be an intentional tease, we still have no confirmation regarding any intention on the developer's part to make this look like the anime.

So that definitely used to be the case, but I noticed that someone added this conversation screen cap (https://terraria.gamepedia.com/File:Stardust_Jojo_ref.png) to the page confirming that series of events.

There is something strange about the [[Vanity items]] page. When I save it as a pdf, any other Terraria Wiki page is saved quickly without any problem. But Vanity items don't, and it raises my computer's RAM usage to the maximum available, crushing. I tested with several Terraria Wiki pages, but it only happens with Vanity item page. I understand that it's not really a wiki problem, but I confess that I was curious about why this happens.

== Last Prism is unfairly locked ==
 
Everyone knows that this weapon and its tooltip are references. Everyone. Even your mom knows it. And this shouldn't be surprising. This game is FULL of references. Nearly every single item in the late game contains or is a reference to something. Yet this page has been unfairly singled out and blocked from people posting theis extremely obvious reference by an admin who insists that it's all just wacky coincidences and that no references exist in the game, with absolutely no reason given for why they are so deadset on disallowing mention of these very blatant references. It's especially bizarre considering that other, WAY more tenuous references are allowed on various other pages. Considering that the only reason stated in the Discussion page is, and I quote, "League and Touhou fanboys need to leave this game alone", I can only assume that it's a power-mad admin with a grudge against those properties, trying anything and everything to prevent them from being mentioned on this wiki.

Hello, it is me, [[pispacedolphinmachinegun]]! Apparently, I have missed some changes to Gamepedia because it looks different. I tried to log in, but it said it couldn't find my account! It also said something about adding something to my username. I tried pispacedolphinmachinegun-gpuser to sign in but no luck there either!

Hello!
== Gamepedia won't let me insert a gif when editing a page ==
 
  +
I was wondering if this mediaWiki has the developer API enabled so we could parse pages from JSON and create some neat tools based off of the information captured here?
I want to contribute to the wiki by adding gifs that show the new flail mechanics, but when I try and insert the gif in the page, [https://imgur.com/a/8m4YAnm this] pops up. The translation would be along the lines of "This action has been identified as hurtful, therefore it has been disabled". And then it says that I committed "size vandalism". I don't know what's that, but I don't mean to vandalize anything. {{unsigned|Marlux895|UTC=19:00, 23 September 2020}}
 
   
  +
For example, a fun side project would be re-creating the Guide's ability to look up crafting recipes, but in this case pulling the latest information from this wiki :)
Edit: Okay, after trying differents things, I managed to upload the gif. But still, could someone give me an explanation for the automatic filter to go off? Thanks. {{unsigned|Marlux895|UTC=19:37, 23 September 2020}}
 
   
  +
Let me know if you have any questions!
: The filter was misconfigured to catch file uploads as well, instead of only normal edits, and I suppose the size of your file exceeded its limits (hence the "size vandalism").

If the screenshot I tried to upload didn't appear, I'll explain what's happening; whenever I finish an edit and go to save the changes, the popup that's supposed to have me input my reason for changing the page and the 'save changes' button appears ''behind'' the page's paragraphs. Every time I try to press a button, it clicks onto the paragraphs instead.
== Was asked to solve captcha because "Your edit includes new external links." althrough edit did not have them. ==
 
I was shown "Your edit includes new external links. To protect the wiki against automated spam, we kindly ask you to solve the following CAPTCHA:" when saving page, even though my edit didn't have any and as far as I can tell section I edited didn't have external links either. I'm guessing something is misconfigured on the wiki.

  +
I'm not sure if I'm the only one having this problem, or if it is caused by me not having an account, but this keeps happening. This time, a captcha popped up, and because I can't click on it (due to paragraphs being on top of it), I cannot save the changes I made. I'm not sure if this is where I'm supposed to bring problems like this, but I didn't see anywhere else to do so.
: I apologize for the inconvenience, though I'm afraid that's outside of our control. What we as editors have control over is the [[mw:Extension:AbuseFilter|abuse filter]], but it didn't react to any of your actions, there's nothing in the logs (and it can't force a captcha anyway). Hence I'd guess some system on Fandom's side was responsible for this, since the wiki recently got moved to Fandom and there have been no reports of this kind of issue before. --[[User:Rye Greenwood|Rye Greenwood]] ([[User talk:Rye Greenwood|talk]]) 18:54, 26 October 2020 (UTC)

[EDIT] I zoomed in to 110% and it moved the box in front of the paragraphs, so I could save. Pretty sure this still isn't how the page is supposed to work though...
== Editing Infoboxes ==
 
According to the 1.4.1 patch notes, the set bonus on Cobalt Mask was changed from melee speed to +15% melee damage, a great boost. I tried to edit that in the main article, but the infobox is automatically generated. Is there any way to incorporate the changes to the infobox?

I don't know if this is related but will post under this topic anyway. It seems to be a possible bug related to the template/code that generates NPC's icons in eg this page https://terraria.fandom.com/wiki/NPCs/preferences (note that the page has not been edited so it's not related to the specific page).

:This is most definitely just a caching issue, and not a site, db, or image repo issue. You can forcefully purge the page with ?action=purge (or from the "More" drop-down, if the Purge gadget is enabled), which should also resolve the issue. Since it's likely a browser caching issue, deleting the relevant portion of your browser's cache will also force an update and resolve the issue. Forcing a refresh of the page with Ctrl+F5 should resolve the issue, but possibly won't.

--><br><!-- -->Someone with access to the server (specifically, the LocalSettings.php configuration file) should be able to resolve the issue "at the server level" by setting $wgCacheEpoch to the current date & time–this would forcefully invalidate every page, including media files. Ideally, the configuration FANDOM uses would avoid issues like caching irregularities, but I don't know what their setup is. In my initial reply, I said it was "most definitely [not] a site, db, or image repo issue", but what's most likely happened is that they've changed either the file repository being used, and/or the wiki's configuration for/to their repo. The fancy URL path to the image repo, for example, has most likely changed recently, which while still ultimately a caching issue it would help explain why you couldn't see Silly Balloons.[[User:MoltonMontro|MoltonMontro]] ([[User talk:MoltonMontro|talk]]) 16:42, 13 April 2021 (UTC)

  • The admin noticeboard is one way for users to notify administrators of issues requiring administrative attention. Users are also welcome to directly contact specific administrators (especially if they are seen to be active), but posting here can more reliably ensure that at least one admin will notice an issue and respond promptly. Remember to sign when posting an issue.
    • Post only issues that require administrative action, e.g. blocking vandals, protecting pages, or restoring deleted pages.
    • Do not post deletion requests here. Add {{delete}} to the top of the target page instead. In most cases, add the delete tag, rather than replacing the entire page content with it, so that administrators can easily verify that the content was deletable.
    • Do not post issues here regarding content disputes. Try posting to the community noticeboard instead.

    Vandalism reports: Posting here should be a last resort. Revert first, as anyone can do so. If the vandal created a new page, tag it for deletion. Assume good faith and consider leaving a message on that user's talk page to explain the reason. Post here only if the user has made several disruptive edits and/or persists despite a warning. Always avoid a revert war with the vandal; it is far better to wait until an admin has a chance to intervene.

    Creating a new request – vandals
    1. Edit the Vandal reports section
    2. At the top of the list, use the {{vandal|IP address or username here}} template. Provide a short and neutral summary of the issue.
    Creating a new request – non-vandal cases (e.g. user issues, page protection/undeletion, etc.)
    1. Add a new section (+) to the page and enter an appropriate title (without using templates or links) in the subject field.
    2. In the edit field, enter a short and neutral summary of the issue. Use the {{user|IP address or username here}} template to refer to users involved with the case and provide links to important pages or edits.
    3. As a courtesy, also leave a message on the talk page of any involved user.

    Constant notification to try "Dark Mode" (which is not a gameplay issue)

I've returned to Dark Hydra and hope the notice stops popping up. Thanks for the quick help, Motozappa Motozappa (talk) 18:11, 7 January 2021 (UTC)

    Developer API for JSON fetching

    Hello! I was wondering if this mediaWiki has the developer API enabled so we could parse pages from JSON and create some neat tools based off of the information captured here?

    For example, a fun side project would be re-creating the Guide's ability to look up crafting recipes, but in this case pulling the latest information from this wiki :)

    Let me know if you have any questions! Best, Dan Hagmandan (talk) 17:51, 9 January 2021 (UTC)


    EDIT: from reading earlier posts, i found my answer :) thank you!

    Page Editing Glitch?

    If the screenshot I tried to upload didn't appear, I'll explain what's happening; whenever I finish an edit and go to save the changes, the popup that's supposed to have me input my reason for changing the page and the 'save changes' button appears behind the page's paragraphs. Every time I try to press a button, it clicks onto the paragraphs instead.

    I'm not sure if I'm the only one having this problem, or if it is caused by me not having an account, but this keeps happening. This time, a captcha popped up, and because I can't click on it (due to paragraphs being on top of it), I cannot save the changes I made. I'm not sure if this is where I'm supposed to bring problems like this, but I didn't see anywhere else to do so.

    [EDIT] I zoomed in to 110% and it moved the box in front of the paragraphs, so I could save. Pretty sure this still isn't how the page is supposed to work though...

    Images do not display

    The images on all pages are gone, they're even removed completely from the DOM. This happens consistently across different browsers and devices for me (and on all language wikis). Does anybody have a clue what's going on? --Rye Greenwood (talk) 15:53, 8 April 2021 (UTC)

    I don't know if this is related but will post under this topic anyway. It seems to be a possible bug related to the template/code that generates NPC's icons in eg this page https://terraria.fandom.com/wiki/NPCs/preferences (note that the page has not been edited so it's not related to the specific page). Also when previewing in edit mode the icons do appear. Timbof5 (talk) 00:12, 9 April 2021 (UTC)

    This is most definitely just a caching issue, and not a site, db, or image repo issue. You can forcefully purge the page with ?action=purge (or from the "More" drop-down, if the Purge gadget is enabled), which should also resolve the issue. Since it's likely a browser caching issue, deleting the relevant portion of your browser's cache will also force an update and resolve the issue. Forcing a refresh of the page with Ctrl+F5 should resolve the issue, but possibly won't. Purging the page, however, should be consistent for all readers.MoltonMontro (talk) 01:02, 9 April 2021 (UTC)
    Cache related sounds likely, I also noticed some code was modified related to caching recently but i can't say if that's relevant. I already tried force update and it did not help, but visiting the same page now it works, the images are showing correctly. I did not try ?action=purge or anything like that (nor should that be a viable solution to all ask users to do..) - I guess someone did something? Timbof5 (talk) 02:05, 9 April 2021 (UTC)
    I tried purging cache on https://terraria.fandom.com/wiki/Healing_Potion which was still displaying without images since this issue started. Used the url https://terraria.fandom.com/wiki/Healing_Potion?action=purge and uit helped. But isn't this likely to be a problem for many users? I did nothing to warrant this behaviour. Does purging the cache work at server level? If so maybe a full cache purge is warranted at this time Timbof5 (talk) 02:19, 9 April 2021 (UTC)
    It's certainly not my browser cache though, as I went to a page I haven't visited yet (https://terraria.fandom.com/wiki/Silly_Balloons) and it had no images. I did the ?action=purge and voila, but there's gotta be a way an admin could do a site wide purge? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Timbof5 (talkcontribs) at 02:51, 9 April 2021 (UTC)
    I didn't mention it in my initial reply, but the caching issues won't be permanent for any reader, regardless of whether or not they end up manually trying to resolve the problem.
    Someone with access to the server (specifically, the LocalSettings.php configuration file) should be able to resolve the issue "at the server level" by setting $wgCacheEpoch to the current date & time–this would forcefully invalidate every page, including media files. Ideally, the configuration FANDOM uses would avoid issues like caching irregularities, but I don't know what their setup is. In my initial reply, I said it was "most definitely [not] a site, db, or image repo issue", but what's most likely happened is that they've changed either the file repository being used, and/or the wiki's configuration for/to their repo. The fancy URL path to the image repo, for example, has most likely changed recently, which while still ultimately a caching issue it would help explain why you couldn't see Silly Balloons.MoltonMontro (talk) 16:42, 13 April 2021 (UTC)
