Minecraft Wiki:Admin noticeboard

Minecraft Wiki Admin noticeboard

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.

Please post new topics at the bottom of the page by clicking the "add topic" button above.

The page was getting too long, so I archived it. - CrazyBliep NL Admin 20:06, 19 November 2013 (UTC)

Saw it in the recent changes, bad name in my opinion. Meeples10^{t ~ c} 22:31, 22 November 2013 (UTC)

Doesn't seem outright offensive to me, and they haven't made any edits, so no action needed at this time. -- Orthotope^talk 07:15, 24 November 2013 (UTC)

Could an admin kindly make this page for registered users only, it is a high traffic page and is affected by a lot of spam. –Goandgoo ᐸ Talk

13w48a

I added a new line in [Version_history/Development_versions#13w48a]. Since I am a new user, I cannot post external links.

Please add Server download link and update the version number on the homepage.

13w48a

I added a new line in [Version_history/Development_versions#13w48a]. Since I am a new user, I cannot post external links.

Please add Server download link and update the version number on the homepage. (unsigned)

Same problem: I wanted to fix the broken link in Version history/Development versions for version for 13w48a, but it was blocked, because I am an IP. Please also update the Mainpage. --88.73.107.151 18:48, 25 November 2013 (UTC)

 Done, thanx. Ready to be archived. --88.73.85.191 22:51, 26 November 2013 (UTC)

More than one water elevator section in the "other " section in the Shelters tut

There is more than one water elevator section in the "other " section in the Shelters tut. It does not seem right. --66.168.204.212 19:58, 25 November 2013 (UTC)

Page

I have made a page, and i would like it to be released. Here is a link: http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/index.php?title=Uploading_Earlier_Versions&action=submit

To make a page you need to click save page. That link only works if you have been editing it and is linked with save page or show preview. As such, the page cannot be put on the wiki and is lost. Next time, press save page. File:Redstone (Dust).png Lennbot File:Redstone (Dust).png (talk - contributions) 20:53, 25 November 2013 (UTC)

It's gone forever?--108.230.40.67 20:10, 26 November 2013 (UTC)

Afraid so, at least there is no such page right now, and no saved draft on the wiki. It is possible that your browser has a copy saved, especially if it's Firefox: You might possibly be able to get back to the edit page, by way of the "Recently Closed Tabs" menu (under "History"). (Or if you've actually kept the tab and browser open, by the "back" button.) --MentalMouse42 (talk) 23:17, 26 November 2013 (UTC)

You might be able to find the page in the Wayback Machine. MrJoeBob^(T) (Meeples10) 00:59, 27 November 2013 (UTC)

Somehow blocked by the non-administrator user Lobstarooo. Please unblock. MrJoeBob^(T) 00:52, 27 November 2013 (UTC)

Strange that it would say that; block was actually applied by Powup333 on the Chinese wiki. No reason specified, try asking about it on his talk page. -- Orthotope^talk 02:20, 27 November 2013 (UTC)

Aether

There is already an official Aether wiki here: aether.wikia.com/wiki/The_Aether_Wiki:_Genesis_of_the_Void Maybe the aether page on the Minecraft wiki should mention it, because it has a lot of information. –Preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.173.14.157 (talk) 17:52, 27 November 2013‎(UTC). Please sign your posts with ~~~~

Yes, I came across this post while searching for vandalism. Yes, The aether information provided here is terrible. Yes, there IS a much better aether information wiki. But still, we should be giving the wiki and its contributors some slack. --BrandSPim ^{(Need help?)} 18:57, 27 November 2013 (UTC)

Well if you mean giving the Aether wiki's contributors some slack, that wouldn't really be a problem. I'm the owner of the Aether wiki and his idea would actually help out (if you need me to verify that I'm the owner, you can message me there and I will reply back. I have an owner usertag on my page). The Aether wiki's purpose is to help people who are confused with the mod, and mentioning it here would probably help anyone who's looking for more information. --Istolethepies (talk) 19:33, 27 November 2013 (UTC)

It would be nice if we could maintain full subtrees for major mods like the Aether, but I suspect we'd be competing with their own wiki for "labor" -- that is, most Aether fans will be putting their effort in over there, and few will be moved to duplicate their efforts over here. Given that, a mod's page certainly should have a prominent link to its own wiki. --MentalMouse42 (talk) 21:16, 27 November 2013 (UTC)

Link added to infobox. Most of the information here still dates to the first version of the mod, so it may make sense to direct people to the Aether wiki instead of trying to update everything. -- Orthotope^talk 21:39, 27 November 2013 (UTC)

Just so you know, the official site is here: www . gilded-games . com/aether/ The official wiki was the one I gave you. --Istolethepies (talk) 01:54, 28 November 2013 (UTC)

Pocket Edition development versions

I want to link to the Google+ Community and the beta opt-in page, but it says I am too new to do it. May someone add it for me? GeneralBacon9 (talk) 21:34, 28 November 2013 (UTC)

 Done. --BrandSPim ^{(Need help?)} 23:15, 28 November 2013 (UTC)

Cookie Page vandalized again, cannot remove

The person who vandalized the "Cookie" page, has vandalized it again, under a VPN or proxy of some sort. I was unable to remove this, because I am considered a "new user", which meant that I couldn't undo their changes. TomRBify (talk) 16:04, 30 November 2013 (UTC)

External-link filter false positive?

I tried to post something on the Talk page for Music discs, and it was blocked for containing "external links". There were no URLs in the post, nor any code at all. I'd paste the content of the post here, but obviously that would be blocked as well. Furthermore, I was already able to post external links in two other pages. Did it flag me as a spambot and just not correctly identify why I'm being blocked from posting? Stevethepocket (talk) 23:28, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

The YouTube link in the text above is erroneously catching your edit. If you use the "new section" feature, it should ignore other text. For some reason, the filter catches surrounding text when looking at added text. It's a known issue with the actual extension. —Kanegasi ☺C 23:31, 2 December 2013 (UTC)
