What are the limitations of free to play? I understand that there is a level limitation, but what is the level limit and what is the pay to play level max? Also, I can't create more than one character. Is this a free to play limit? If so, what is the pay to play character limit. Are there any other limits that I don't know yet?
What's on your mind?

I've been keeping the Istaria forums posted on updates for a few months now, but it just occurred to me that I should keep wiki-goers posted on these updates too, since not everyone uses the forums.
So I'll start by summing up the last few updates I shared:
- Created and tweaked multiple templates (Template:Infobox:Creature, Template:Infobox:NPC), mostly just messing with the visuals, trying to find a good setup for presenting information. Some templates broke spectacularly when I tested their limits, so I had to make adjustments here and there.
- Finished all the loot table templates and started implementing them on Creature pages. The amount of loot some enemies drop makes me giggle; this creature for example. Look at all those red links in the facts box! Good luck getting something specific from that guy.
- I started updating NPC pages to use the new infobox; so far all the Adventure and Craft trainers have gotten their overhauls. There's going to be some broken templates on other pages until I can get around to updating them to reflect the new changes to categories and new properties. Shouldn't take too long to fix.
- Got a request for a minor change to Town Marshall Quest presentation, which gave me an excuse to make the Quest Infobox and give the Town Marshall NPC pages and their category/info an overhaul. The change requested was to see how many tokens each quest gave out right in the table, which took a little work, but I managed to get it working and you can see the new Town Marshall Quest table here. Each of the quest pages has the new infobox and presentation as well.
- While looking through the wiki's templates to see what else I could clean up, I noticed Location pages were using some messy, outdated templates... So I quickly whipped up a location infobox to replace it all and it looks really good in practice! I think my favorite page is Mahagra, the screenshot displayed is very pretty. I plan to eventually (once I can resubscribe to get some wings) get in and take my own high-res shots for a ton of areas.
- Updated the Trophy Hunter portion of the Wiki, all 155 quest pages got the new infobox/layout, same with the Trophy Hunter NPCs themselves. Still need to do a second pass and add any missing quest text/steps/descriptions, but the basics are all there currently. There are a few newer Trophy Hunter quests that have yet to be added to the wiki, so I'll get to those soon.
- Enabled a wiki feature that displays categories in thumbnail form. Makes it so that categories that used to look like this, now look like this. Unfortunately, it doesn't translate well to categories with pages that have no images... But luckily there's a little toggle at the top of every category page for that reason.
- Revamped categories, mostly renaming to a new standard and shifting some pages around so that they make more sense. Starting from the Browse category downward.
- Included in this was the Images category, long overdue for an update. I went ahead and established two different "types" of image, which are Screenshots and Images, and filtered stuff into categories as they fit (you can typically tell what goes where by looking through some of the categories). This was incredibly time-consuming (pretty much took up my entire day), and I'm so glad I have a bot account for mass-renaming jobs. That poor thing racked up 3,000 edits yesterday with me looking over every little change... Very mind-numbing work, haha.
- Made space for Concept Art too, since there were a few pieces floating around the wiki and I wasn't sure if I should put them with other Images. Have a whole stash on my external HD that I never posted to the Wiki because I wasn't certain if it would have a place, but I thought of some neat ideas to implement while staring at my bot's work, heh.
- With the Images-category revamp, I also manually took care of the ~800 Uncategorized Images on the wiki, and there are now NO uncategorized images left! *party poppers* Still some images I have to funnel to respective categories, but the bulk of the work is taken care of. With these new categories, and everything being filtered, it'll be easier to find what is and isn't in use or needed, and I can actually start cleaning up images in general.
- Redid some of the site navigation as I finally figured out what was causing submenus to not come up. Was a dumb little pound sign that messed with the script. You can see the new navigation options under Istaria > Characters, with a total navigation-bar revamp on the way once I can figure out what should go where.
- Worked on the Item Infobox a little more, but geez, it's a biggun. It's definitely going to take a lot of time and messing around with code to complete and get to a usable, clean state.
- Shifted some stuff around on the front page and brought back the Create box for people wanting to make new pages! I'm steadily going through and reworking the New Page templates so I can bring back that old functionality.
And with that, here's the start of the Wiki Update thread. Feel free to leave feedback, as suggestions are always welcome. I will continue to post updates below.

After spending a lot of time over at the Terraria Wiki, I've learned a lot of new, cleaner ways to go about wiki-text and page formatting. Over the next few weeks, I'm going to be updating a lot of templates and pages to make them cleaner and more streamlined. I've started with Item pages, and the item description field. After realizing that the code for the Item Description boxes looked a bit messy being on every page, I adapted the code to fit into a template (the ItemDescription template to be exact).
This code will be replacing the old div code, and will be between the Item Infobox and first header of every item page. Italics tend to break when using the template, so I've decided that the item descriptions just won't be italicized at all. To use this template, place the following code into the page:
{{ItemDescription|Item Description goes here}}
The result will be the following:
Item Description goes here
Wheee description box!
If an item description has multiple lines, you can do something like the following:
{{ItemDescription|Item
Description
goes<br>
here}}
Which displays...
Item
Description
goes
here
Thanks for all your feedback, I hope that this change will make editing much easier.

It has come to my attention that many of the older pages and templates were using bits of code that are no longer valid with our wiki. You'll find that on some weapon pages, older technique pages, and especially, once you enter edit mode there are errors all over the place! This is due to a specific piece of code that looks like this: [[property::value]], which is outdated and no longer functional (if you spot anything like this in a current template, do let me know ASAP!).
I have since come up with fixes to these broken bits of code that work just as they used to, I just need help pinpointing pages that are outdated (since scouring through thousands of pages is incredibly time-consuming) so that I may fix them. I'll still be actively seeking out these errors, but I feel that asking the community for assistance will make this process much easier.
If you come across any pages that have errors in edit mode, please don't change anything! Instead, give me a link (or multiple links at once!) in a reply to this thread. This format will work just fine: [[Page Name]]
Thanks for all your help!
