Hi, I'm Misdirected of Starbounder. You can contact me via IRC at #starbounder on freenode or my talk page. I would also like to direct you to our YouTube Policy to understand why your link was removed.

I understand that you consider the wiki to be "wrong and it is very false", but consider the information used to edit your contribution. Here is the file found at \unpacked\monsters\ghosts\erchiusghost:

}

You can see that the monstertype file lists "capturable" as "false". This is why the page currently lists them as un-capturable.

Given the contradictory nature of your empirical experience against the file the game uses to create the monster in question, it would be reasonable to add the "{{Error}}" article tag to flag the faulty file data. This and may other useful editing tools can be learned from guides we've put two mouse clicks off the main page.

The wiki is a project driven by the contributions of the Starbound community. The information you contribute is for everyone, and likewise, everyone has a right to edit. If you would like to contribute to the wiki, we have several guides on how to do precisely that.

Again, I can be found on IRC. We have an in-browser client, right off the homepage, for exactly this type of discussion.

Edit: I've attempted to repeat your successful capture from June 4th today, June 15th, and have not been able to capture one. Though, I have confirmed that lava still effects them, and be killed.
Looking through the change logs, I can confirm that the erchiusghost.monstertype file was updated to its current version on June 7th, three days after you posted your claim.

 

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo why???? it was an amazing monster!!! well at lest i can still see them

 

Looks like it was indeed a bug and has been corrected.

Closing as the wiki article should now correctly reflect the game data.
