Administrator Noticeboard

Do not post game suggestions, game bugs, or game technical support requests on this page. Use Calamity’s official Discord server or forum post instead.

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, eg. 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. Administrators: Indefinite blocks should generally not be used, except in cases of confirmed incessant spam bots. Blatantly malicious registered users with a clear intent to continue vandalizing should receive a 6-month to one-year block. When the intent to continue vandalizing is not completely apparent, or for non-vandalism cases that still require disciplinary action, use warnings and/or escalating block lengths, beginning with days or weeks. Creating a new request — vandals Edit the Vandal reports section At the top of the list, use the {{vandal|IP address or username here|ip=yes (if IP)}} 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.) Add a new section (+) to the page and enter an appropriate title (without using templates or links) in the subject field. 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. As a courtesy, also leave a message on the talk page of any involved user.

Deletion Candidates No deletion candidates (Purge page to update)

In-Game Visuals

Hiya? Im not sure if im doing this right or posting this in the correct location, but I wanted to address/suggest something. I love this webpage and its content, however one thing has continued to bother me, that being that not all items/weapon has visuals for what they look like in game. and while the text-only still helps alot, sometimes it doesn't do an Item justice. so, I was wondering why that, was. I am assuming that not everyone can just test out every weapon obviously, so if that were the case, I'd like to offer to help. I figure going through and testing out weapons and items in game to provide a better experience to new people in the game coming here looking for help (especially with the new update) That being said, keep up the amazing work, and I hope to help however I can

Thank you for taking your time to read this, -Gwen

I assume you're talking about weapon GIFs here. GIFs generally increase page load times by a lot, and we want to avoid this wherever possible. To that end, we have a couple of rules regarding which weapons get GIFs. Firstly, if a text description suffices to describe a weapon's function, then it does not get a GIF. Secondly, only the last weapon in a crafting line will get a GIF, unless there is a substantial change in function between it and the weapon below it. I hope this clears it up and welcome any further contributions you make.

If you'd like to talk more, please join the Official Calamity Mod Discord server and ask a Moderator+ for the Wiki Contributor role which gives you access to a channel where you can discuss edits with other contributors.

Draedon’s Arsenal Page

With all the low effort pages being created and it now being protected, we need an administrator to create an actual, real, substantive page, rather than just deleting every low effort one and not doing anything to improve it. If more information still needs to be gathered on such an important topic, please let us know. I don’t mean to be rude or harsh, it is just an issue that needs attention badly. Thank you for taking the time to read this. Lawrence K. (talk) 16:19, 6 August 2020 (UTC)

WIP pages for Draedon's Arsenal and the Arsenal Labs can be found here and here respectively. If you would like to help out, feel free to edit those. Temp35 (The One True King) (talk) 16:29, 6 August 2020 (UTC)

Adding on to this, if you'd like to discuss further, I'd suggest doing it on the Calamity Mod Discord in the appropriate channel/s where you're likely to get faster and more numerous repsonses. Temp35 (The One True King) (talk) 16:34, 6 August 2020 (UTC)

The Biome Blade still has a Hardmode checkmark on following pages:

https://calamitymod.gamepedia.com/Swords

https://calamitymod.gamepedia.com/Melee_weapons

This weapon can be crafted in Pre-Hardmode, which is stated on the weapon's page.

Fixed. Thank you for pointing this out. Temp35 (The One True King) (talk) 15:51, 3 January 2021 (UTC)

Help Creating Category:Specialist weapons

I have created the page "Category:Specialist weapons". I would like an admin to assign the "Specialist weapons" category to any page which has the "Ranged weapon" category and none of the "Bows", "Guns", or "Repeaters" categories. This would be helpful for using the Shroomite and Lunic Corps armor sets, as well as organization. Afterwards, I will make the "Specialist weapons" page, since I will be able to make the table based off of the category. Loopsi17 (talk) 20:48, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

We don't need a separate category for that, since by definition it's just all the weapons that don't fall into the other categories. I also don't think there should be a page for it since again, by definition, it's not a category of its own, but a 'catch-all' for any weapons that don't fit into the other categories. If you want to, you can just make a DPL table in your Sandbox to look at. Ask again here if you need help setting that up. Temp35 (talk) 21:12, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

Sure, maybe not a full-on category then, but I think having a page where all of the specialist weapons are listed would be much more convenient than fumbling through the Ranged weapons page. So not a category, but just the Specialist weapons page, with a table? Does that sound reasonable? Loopsi17 (talk) 21:18, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

It shouldn't get its own page because it's not a proper sub-class category like the rest. Again, if you want a page for this, I'm happy to help you set up a DPL table in your sandbox, just not in the main namespace. Temp35 (talk) 22:59, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

Sure, I've never done that before. Could you point me to where I can find out how this works? Loopsi17 (talk) 23:22, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

Well, a sandbox isn't anything special. Just create a page titled 'User:Loopsi17/Sandbox' and you can work on what you want in there. As for DPL, there's a helpful manual available on the Vanilla Wiki here, but you can mostly just copy how it's done on one of the current class/subclass pages and change it to filter out ranged weapons that have the Bows, Guns or Repeaters categories with the notcategory parameter. Temp35 (talk) 23:55, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

So, I've created it here, but I'm getting this red text at the top. Any idea how I could get rid of this? Loopsi17 (talk) 05:53, 19 May 2024 (UTC)

I added |uses = Template item infobox. Basically it was picking up pages that fit the category filters but didn't use the template so it was returning errors. Temp35 (talk) 12:57, 19 May 2024 (UTC)

Cool, thank you. That's everything for me, so feel free to delete this section. Loopsi17 (talk) 19:04, 19 May 2024 (UTC)
