The admin noticeboard is one way through which users can notify administrators of issues needing administrative attention. While users are welcome to directly contact specific administrators (especially if they are seen to be active), posting here can be an easier and quicker way of ensuring that at least one admin will notice an issue and respond to it promptly. Remember to sign (using four tildes: ~~~~
) when posting an issue.
Before posting an issue here, please consider the following:
- This page is for reporting wiki issues. Please post any discussions on the community portal talk page.
- Post only issues that require administrative action, i.e. blocking vandals, protecting pages, restoring deleted pages etc.
- Do not post deletion requests here; instead, the page should be tagged for deletion.
- Do not post issues regarding content disputes. Try making a request for comment instead.
- Mediation requests between users should only be made once a resolution could not be reached between users.
- For issues regarding the use of this wiki, please see our help center.
- For issues with filters preventing edits from being saved: filters are not able to be disabled for specific people. However, an admin may be able to perform the edit themselves for you. "New user" filters expire after you log in and make some edits around the wiki.

In case of vandalism, posting about it here is low priority. Revert it first, anyone can do so. If the vandal created a new page, tag it for speedy 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.
If a user must be reported here, do not create a new section. Instead, add * {{vandal|Example user}} Your concise reason (e.g. vandalised past 4th warning). ~~~~
in the Block requests section.
If a protection or unprotection request must be requested here, do not create a new section. Instead, add * {{la|Example page}} '''duration (temporary or indefinite) and protection level''': Your concise reason (e.g. constant spam and vandalism). <nowiki>~~~~
in the Protection requests section.

Mob yo-yo
On the mechanisms tutorial, there's a section called "mob yo-yo" that doesn't have anything to do with redstone. The section is:
"
This works with any mob that you can place a lead on.
Simply place a lead on a mob and attach it to a High-up Fence post, the mob will dangle and bounce on the lead. If you place the fence post too close to the ground the mob will die from fall damage. Even if you don't, if the mob bounces, it will die when it touches a solid block unless it lands in water.
I think it should be removed. 173.73.154.139 13:44, 26 May 2014 (UTC)

I am creating a page on different methods to harvest dragon eggs, and the "Unwanted/New User" notice popped up. I am relatively new to wiki pages, and feel this would be a contribution as the Dragon egg page only briefly mentions it. What can I do?

Unwanted/New User
Hello, I created an account to help Turkish Translation project, but when I try to edit the project page (to change a guideline about translating in unification, I created a pastebin link from translation taken out from Minecraft.jar) it says "An automated filter has detected an unwanted word in your edit. As a new user, your action has been disallowed. If you believe your edit was constructive, please post a message on the admin noticeboard or notify an admin directly."

pdf as image
I have asked this question in the german wiki already, but maybe you have some ideas. I created a pdf version of the brewing chart which is smaller, contains scalable vector graphics and might be easier to translate. You can find it on my "user wiki" site. Unfortunately I can't include it as a "normal" image as described in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Picture_tutorial#DjVu_and_PDF_files by using the optional "page" parameter. That's why I still prefer the pixel-based-png-version. Do you see any reason why this pdf is not shown as image on this wiki, and/or can you request support of this pdf-view-feature the wikipedia provides? Otherwise I'm going to remove this pdf again to prevent synchronization of multiple files with same content. Endernose (talk) 10:02, 1 September 2014 (UTC)
- Why would you want to use a pdf?? Just use SVG. –Majr ᐸ Talk
Contribs ⎜ 11:53, 1 September 2014 (UTC)
- Because of the editability (translatability) of the contained texts. Also there are some pixel graphics within the image but SVG is for vector graphics only as far as I know. The pdf contains both. Endernose (talk) 12:42, 1 September 2014 (UTC)
- Just tried to save as SVG: it works with embedded bitmap images and texts are stored as plaintexts within the file. I can change them with a texteditor. But file size is larger than PNG (SVG:672KB, PNG:380KB, PDF:94KB). So I still prefer PDF-support but SVG might be an option. Endernose (talk) 17:19, 1 September 2014 (UTC)
- Most programs generate bloated SVGs with a lot of unnecessary data. Try running it through SVG Optimiser or SVG Cleaner and see if that makes the file size more reasonable. -- Orthotopetalk 20:01, 1 September 2014 (UTC)
- I made a comparison of the PNG and SVG at my user site. As you can see for small resolutions (width=500) the font looks different and some texts are overflowing the boxes. On higher resolution (width=1100) svg-texts are not leaving their boxes and images look quite equal. I probably have to play with different fonts and improve the layout, but I don't want to do that right now and I don't like this rendering behavior in this case. I never noticed something similar in PDF-documents so far. So I still would prefer PDF, is there any chance? Otherwise thanks for you help. Endernose (talk) 06:26, 2 September 2014 (UTC)
