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.

Editing Golden Delight recipe to use "Any Golden Critter" item group

Hi, I know a lot of people get confused because they assume Golden Delight takes 1 of EACH critter instead of just any single one. I am trying to get an item group set so that the recipe can say "Any Golden Critter" much like Fruit Juice requires "Any Fruit".

I already created an item group with all of the Golden Critters in it. The recipe just needs to be changed, but the Cooking Pot Recipes page is edit-protected.

If an admin could simply edit the recipe to use the new "Any Golden Critter" group, that would be much appreciated!

Hi there, thanks for reaching out. I'd like to direct you to the Yoyo Bag and "Any Counterweight" section on this page, where I answered a similar request. The gist of it is: There is no group of alternative crafting ingredients for counterweights, or golden critters in this case, defined in Terraria's source code, and we shouldn't diverge from the source code (which includes the Guide in-game). It might be a good idea to suggest this to Re-Logic on the forums, though.
Regardless, I see that the recipe table might be confusing. If there are multiple ingredients in one recipe, they're listed in the same table cell without lines in between. For tables with multiple recipes that each have multiple ingredients, this is usually fairly obvious and understandable (e.g. Spelunker Potion#Crafting), but that's not the case with the Golden Delight. Is there perhaps another way we could avoid this confusion? Changing the table format for just this one page would raise concerns about consistency, but would it perhaps help to mention in the very first sentence of the article that the item is crafted from any one golden critter?
--Rye Greenwood (talk) 20:49, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
Something I can think of would be to add a note below the Crafting header stating that only one is necessary, similar to the Statues page, or we could just bold the "any" part indeed, it's a common thing we already did to highlight important details Dinoxel (talk) 23:47, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
Alright, I've added this. Feel free to improve. --Rye Greenwood (talk) 12:40, 12 February 2023 (UTC)

Fruit pages seem to have their Crafting section broken

Take Apple for example. Apple Juice does not show up in "Used in" for some reason. This seems to apply to every fruit drink (I'm not going to list every single one, but their item IDs should be 4614–4623). SlabFoot20 (talk) 05:12, 17 April 2023 (UTC)

Looks like this was fixed in Special:Diff/873276; thanks for reporting! --Rye Greenwood (talk) 22:10, 17 April 2023 (UTC)

Pages that are supposed to be locked are not locked

All site logos are protected except File:Site-logo-crimson.png and File:Site-logo-underground.png.

File:Site-background-hydra.jpg is not protected either.

Also, while I'm here, why does the Admin noticeboard and Vandal section not have a 2022 archive? Oversight? SlabFoot20 (talk) 23:11, 20 May 2023 (UTC)

I can't add a hyperlink to a reference.

On the page about the game itself, Terraria, I replaced the 3DS version's purchase link section with a description regarding the 3DS version's unavailability for digital purchase. I also added a reference, but the wiki did not let me hyperlink the reference, so the reference is currently unhyperlinked. The editor told me to contact an administrator about it. The hyperlink I was going to add was: https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/p/994/c/186/a_id/58358 AdamEternal (talk) 21:50, 5 June 2023 (UTC)

Hi, another user added the link. The wiki's abuse filter blocked your edit because it recognized that you removed a section (the "Purchase link" section) and replaced it with a paragraph that contained a link, which is a common pattern for vandals. Sorry for the inconvenience! --Rye Greenwood (talk) 15:12, 23 June 2023 (UTC)

Math broken

It is no longer fixed. MeowMeow123 (talk) 23:04, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
It still looks fine to me. What you see is the initial representation of the math expression. After you load a page, the JavaScript code provided by the extension comes in and converts it into the expected output. So one possible reason why it's not getting converted is that you have JavaScript disabled – make sure you haven't. Aside from that, clearing your browser cache is always worth a shot. If the math still doesn't look correct, please tell us what browser (and version) and operating system you're using. --Rye Greenwood (talk) 00:28, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
I cleared all of my browser cache and made sure that Javascript was on, it is still broken. I am using Microsoft Edge (126.0.2592.68 (Official build) (64-bit)) and Windows 10. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MeowMeow123 (talk • contribs) at 13:47, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
Also I tried it on Google Chrome and it showed up correctly. MeowMeow123 (talk) 14:15, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ Thanks for the info. Edge on Windows 10 displays it correctly for me, but now it briefly broke in Firefox (only for a few minutes or so). When you encounter the error again, try checking https://www.mathjax.org/#samples (MathJax is what powers the wiki's math extension). If the equations there look fine, then it's more likely the issue is on the wiki's side and not on your end. In that case you could try adding the code from the documentation to your common.js: 

function waitForMathJax($content) {
  if (typeof MathJax === 'undefined') {
    setTimeout(function () { waitForMathJax($content); }, 1000);
  } else {
    MathJax.Hub.Queue(["Typeset", MathJax.Hub, $content[0]]).execute();
  }
}

mw.hook('wikipage.content').add(waitForMathJax);

That should force a correct render after a couple of seconds at most.

--Rye Greenwood (talk) 02:22, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

It renders correctly now, but it would seem helpful to have that code run for everyone. MeowMeow123 (talk) 13:09, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

Infoboxes changes request

I have some requests for item/npc infobox:

  • {{item infobox}}
    • On line 49, the variable's value is {{lcfirst:{{{type|}}}}}/{{lcfirst:{{{type2|}}}}}}}. Due this, this makes some localization issues.
      For example, infobox uses type = Armor/Set, and variable's value is armor/Set. When I need to define pagetype:@@@@ parameter on l10n subpage, it needs to define both pagetype:Set and pagetype:set for any cases where used type = Set too.
    • Following to "Set", in Russian localization, words "Set" and "Loadout" are having same name (Комплект), so I need to define l10n parameter with namespace, for properly link (to Категория:Комплекты, not to Комплекты (page does not exist yet)). So, in {{item infobox/infoboxView}}, on line 92, can you add : for link ([[:)?
  • {{npc infobox}}
    • Unlike {{item infobox}}, this infobox has no abilities described above. There is also issue with localization.
      In Russian localization, words "Spawner" (this type has the Mysterious Portal) and "Summoner" (non-formal class) are having same name (Призыватель), so we need to do same thing for properly link.
    • General
      • Is it possible to apply #formatnum function for displaying numeric values (for huge HP values, at least) and custom formats?
        In R..., in-game numeric stats and descriptions (weapons damage, defense value, etc.) have additional ед. (единица(-ы); point(s)) postfix (10 damage → 10 ед. урона; by 5 → на 5 ед.)
    • {{npc infobox}}
      • Unlike {{item infobox}}, this infobox (and {{buff infobox}} too) has no lname-relative parameter to display English subname. I was talking about that a bit for a year ago on Wiki Discord, and thats it...
    • {{buff infobox}}
      • This infobox uses <infobox> tags rather customized <div> tags, which does not allow to change infobox's width.
      • $subname just creates second title (for example, Beetle Endurance).
    • Infoboxes that built by <infobox> tag
      • Comparing with item/npc infobox, these infoboxes have different font.

    • Sincerely, Horn772 (talk) 15:20, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

    Thank you for the recommendations. The types in {{item infobox}} and {{npc infobox}} now all consistently have a lower-cased first letter, so typepage:set will be sufficient now. A category page as typepage works correctly now. {{npc infobox}} now also supports type text and link configuration via the /l10n subtemplate just like {{item infobox}}, so e.g. |type:critter=Friendly animal and |typepage:critter=Animal would change the "critter" display from [[Critter|Critter]] (the default) to [[Animal|Friendly animal]] (or just Friendly animal if the page [[Animal]] doesn't exist). Do note, however, that {{tr}} is and was supported for this, too – consider adding ["Spawner"] = "Spawner_ru_link_target", to the pagename section of your {{tr}} database in order to change the link translation of "Spawner" to "Spawner_ru_link_target" across the entire wiki.
    I added the lname and showenglishname functionalities from {{item infobox}} to {{npc infobox}}. For both templates, I also moved the default setting for $showenglishname to the /l10n subtemplate (it used to be hardcoded for all languages in the template itself). Setting |showenglishname_default=yes/no there will enable/disable the functionality by default in all infobox transclusions. This is merely the default setting; it is still always possible to use |showenglishname=yes/no in an individual transclusion to override the default.
    The <infobox> tag comes from the PortableInfobox extension. These infoboxes are a bit special and have a different style than our own infoboxes, but I'll see what I can do.
    I'm not sure I understand your request regarding number formatting correctly. Do you wish to append the string единица/единицы to all numbers in the statistics table?
    --Rye Greenwood (talk) 02:50, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
    Thank you, Rye!
    About number formatting with additional strings. Probably not, the formatting is more prefer to use in descriptions/texts rather in tables/stats. I will try to notice about it later, when I will more to sure. Horn772 (talk) 06:38, 4 July 2024 (UTC)

    ┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ Seems these changes slightly broke infobox translude on Guide pages: instead displaying actual types, it displays "raw" (escaped) values (\{\{lcfirst:@@@\}\}. The similar thing happens with plural values where strings completely disappear (Projectile(s) created -> created; Inflicts Debuff(s) -> Inflicts; 5-10 seconds -> 5-10). Example: the Duke Fishron and his guide page. Horn772 (talk) 09:15, 6 July 2024 (UTC)

    Fixed. {{transclude infobox}} uses the "include" functionality of DPL (unless |selection=y is used) and it looks like DPL is not able to handle the <esc>...</esc> tags correctly (may be a bug, or maybe it's intended this way), which are necessary in the localization subtemplates for proper handling of plural cases or other things. Luckily the tags have an alternative syntax (e.g. \{\{ instead of <esc>{{</esc>; full documentation here) which DPL does accept. It's not the cleanest solution, unfortunately, but this replacement should work now (Template:Npc infobox/l10n diff, Template:Duration/l10n diff). Same thing for the "type" display in Template:Npc infobox (diff). --Rye Greenwood (talk) 04:57, 7 July 2024 (UTC)

    NPC stats for different states in Hardmode

    Some enemies changes their stats in different states (e.g., Giant Shelly, when rolling, increases its damage and defense). These values are manually expression via $damage2.

    The problem is these values are relevant for pre-Hardmode only, and the {{npc infobox}} information may to confuse readers (actually, the Giant Shelly's damage does not decrease in rolling state during Hardmode).

    I did an example of how it should to be look. — Horn772 (talk) 07:12, 16 July 2024 (UTC)

    That's a good point, and your solution looks good already! I'd suggest not to invoke Module:Npcstat directly and not to use the dplvars, though; both should primarily be used internally as far as possible. You can actually simply extend the way it's done in the "current view" infobox with {{modes}} and {{npcinfo}}. I took the liberty to add a version to your sandbox to demonstrate it. --Rye Greenwood (talk) 01:59, 21 July 2024 (UTC)

    Page Freezing when Previewing

    When I preview a page or section, it freezes the editing page (It is more common the less content is previewed), only allowing me to scroll the main scrollbar, however the page doesn't scroll. The freezing is accompanied by high CPU and memory usage, which is affected by the amount of content in the page, for example previewing a blank page consumes more memory and CPU then the page Mini Nuke. --MeowMeow123 (talk) 18:52, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
