Cite note labels

Can an administrator create the page MediaWiki:Cite link label group-note to basically be the same as wikipedia:MediaWiki:Cite link label group-lower-alpha? This would allow notes to appear as "a, b, c, etc." instead of "note 1, note 2, note 3, etc.", which would read better and be more compact. We really do not need the rest of the groups used by Wikipedia here here (we only have at most one group of notes per section), and "note" is the group we use for all our notes, so it makes sense to apply the labels there.

Also, is there an official usage of this page? (as opposed to the main noticeboard) I tend to think of this page as a place to discuss an idea that requires administrative attention, rather than an issue to report, though I feel the official usage may be different.

–KnightMiner · (t) 02:19, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

Also, to allow the list style to display the "a, b, c, etc.", I would need the following code in MediaWiki:Common.css to correspond to a class to be added to the template. The code is similar to some code from wikipedia:MediaWiki:Common.css.

/* Enable custom list style types in {{static link|Template:Notelist}} */
div.notelist ol.references {
    list-style-type: inherit;
}

So... –KnightMiner · (t) 15:05, 23 March 2015 (UTC)

I dunno. Note is good because it makes it obviously different from references. You could use n if you want it to be short.

Also this page is intended to be used for discussing a request on the main page, but no one uses it for that because it's inconvenient. –Majr ᐸ Talk

Link Templates

I changed the template "EnvLink" so that it doesn't use Lua, but functions exactly the same. I would like same for {{BlockSprite}}, {{ItemSprite}}, and {{EntitySprite}}^[1], but these templates are protected so that only administrators (which I am not) can edit them.–Preceding unsigned comment was added by Contrapple (talk • contribs) at 23:07, 23 March 2015 (UTC). Please sign your posts with ~~~~

{{EnvSprite}} still uses lua, so all you did was break some usage and make it less efficient, and not using lua is usually not really an advantage ({{SimpleGrid}} was an exception, since {{Inventory slot}} could not be used in that case due to too many invoke calls, which was fixed by

{{
:Renewable resource/row}}

Wiki updated, unable to view while logged in

My name is Exhelah, and I can no longer view the Minecraft wiki when logged in. As soon as I sign in all I see is a 10 pixel box that's half white and half gray. I believe this to be a problem with my custom CSS file in correlation to recent wiki updates (my CSS is designed to hide a bunch of stuff on the top bar that no longer exists). And since I cannot even look at the wiki while logged in I can't put a deletion tag on the page. Can an admin please delete my CSS to see if it fixes the problem? Thanks! -98.202.119.245 23:20, 28 April 2015 (UTC)

Modules

I notice that there is no "Show preview" button in the module namespace, meaning that unregistered users can't edit them, even if they are not protected. Can an administrator change this? 67.160.25.176 22:48, 21 May 2015 (UTC)

Stating administrator request policy

I think it might be relevant to state our policy reguarding administrative rights on the director's page, seeing as it is the page we have to describe administrators. It would be nice to have the "we come to you" policy stated somewhere mainly for both the users curious about that who would never ask otherwise and for the users who would otherwise request due to not knowing that policy. What I have in mind is simply adding the sentence "Administrative rights are given to users based on them making exceptional contributions to the wiki, rather then by request.", with a possible additional note "An exception is on other languages of the Minecraft Wiki which have few or no admins, in which case a request is likely to be accepted" –KnightMiner · (t) 02:54, 1 June 2015 (UTC)

I think it is a good idea to prominently display the administrator policy. In addition, displaying it on the Admin noticeboard as well wouldn't hurt either. –Goandgoo ᐸ Talk

Changing username

How do I change my username? MinecraftImageEditior (talk) 14:59, 13 September 2015 (UTC)

Via a report to Curse administrators, for example at User talk:Game widow (the lead Curse representative’s talk page). Although she may notice you wanting this anyway, because I linked to her user page, which triggers a mention notification for the linked user. — Agent NickTheRed37 (talk) 15:14, 13 September 2015 (UTC)

Yes, I noticed. The best way to change your username is to go through http://support.curse.com. They can ensure that your username is changed everywhere on the Curse network.

Help

Hello! I'm from Russian Minecraft Wiki (https://minecraft-ru.gamepedia.com/Заглавная_страница), and we have some problems with translating of "Frosted ice". Can you help us? What is mean Frosted. Is it frozen, cooled or frostbitten? Ivanlosew (talk) 11:28, 11 January 2016 (UTC)

I'd say frozen or cooled is similar, but frost is really its own word (and all ice is frozen :P). Here's the simple English Wikipedia article on frost and here's the English Wikipedia article. Wikipedia seems to have translated it to "Иней". --Pokechu22 (talk) 14:14, 11 January 2016 (UTC)

Oh, really, thanks! Thank you for help ;) Ivanlosew (talk) 15:11, 11 January 2016 (UTC)

Hello. The “Frost” Pokechu22 was referencing doesn’t form on water, so it can be ignored as unrelated. “Frosted Ice” may sound like it was ice itself that was cooled, not water.

Actually the most authoritative sources for explaining names of game’s objects are Mojang developers themselves, because it is they who made these names.

Also learn how to indent comments. I fixed that. — Agent NickTheRed37 (talk) 15:21, 11 January 2016 (UTC)

Thai translation

Hello! I'm from Thailand. I have the question to admin, Can you unlock this Template:Items/th? (I have to translate this template for use in the others Thai translate pages) Is that true that to not translate templates? - Prem4826 (talk) 02:14, 7 March 2016 (UTC)

Hello! I’m not an administrator, but I can reply. The template was apparently deleted in accordance with the guideline that templates shouldn’t be translated, which is no longer in effect (so templates are allowed to be translated now). So, perhaps, an administrator could unprotect the page to allow translating it. I also split the question into a separate topic, because it was quite different from the discussion above this section. — Agent NickTheRed37 (talk) 15:10, 7 March 2016 (UTC)

Generally, templates shouldn't be translated (they'll all be lost if the translation is successful), however I can see how translating a navbox can be useful. –Majr ᐸ Talk

Spam accounts

I don’t see any activity from many recent accounts blocked for “spam”, yet they are being blocked. I want to know why. I’m taking this up mainly because there is a suspiciously high amount of accounts registered on Russian Minecraft Wiki lately, and I suspect some of them are spam accounts, but we don’t know how to tell them apart. — Agent NickTheRed37 (talk) 14:52, 17 March 2016 (UTC)

Most are using the Curse profile for spam, which doesn't show up in any logs. I've been blanking the profiles to get rid of their ads for drugs and prostitutes, among other things. Some are caught by the abuse filter. -- Orthotope^talk 15:03, 17 March 2016 (UTC)

New info: GreenStone says that the profiles of suspicious accounts on Russian wiki are empty. Are they already being blanked by Curse by chance? — Agent NickTheRed37 (talk) 16:21, 17 March 2016 (UTC)

Many accounts are created and never make any edits. There's no way to know which ones are actually spammers until they (try to) make edits or create a profile; I'm not willing to block accounts just because they seem suspicious somehow. -- Orthotope^talk 00:26, 18 March 2016 (UTC)

Some new accounts that “haven’t done anything” apparently have 2 wiki points and Gamepedia level of two. This might be caused by editing the Curse profile. Perhaps this is an evidence of spam activity. — Agent NickTheRed37 (talk) 15:08, 20 March 2016 (UTC)

Japanese Admin

I'm from the japanese minecraft community and I'm new to editing Wiki.And sorry in advance if this is off topic.

When I was editing some page,I noticed I don't have a permission to edit common.css and noticed that the Japanese Wiki has no admins.
I know that there was someone as an admin in the past,but to catch up to the latest changes,we need an (new) admin.
I'm too new to this community and I don't know who's best for it(maybe someone who contributed the most to the wiki?),and I'll try if no one appears to be.
TL;DR To contribute further,The japanese wiki needs someone to edit common.css.(and the other files restricted from editing)

You cain't just become an admin, but an existing admin can make a new one. To select a good admin, a user who can speak Japanese and English should visit the Japanese wiki and tell us his/her decision.The Blobs^16px 01:46, 17 May 2016 (UTC)

The problem is that there are no admins... -User:Xbony2 11:09, 17 May 2016 (UTC)

Not any administrator can appoint other ones; a special right is needed. This right is available to a special admin group known as bureaucrats (of which there is nobody on Japanese wiki, it seems like), and also to Curse employees, which have all technical rights everywhere on Gamepedia. Majr is a Curse member, so he can appoint somebody on Japanese wiki (and not only).

P. S. Russian wiki’s content is also becoming obsolete. The wiki has 3 active admins (including one bureaucrat), but they are not very active, and they are not quite vigorous. — NickTheRed37 (issues’ wall) 16:35, 17 May 2016 (UTC)

@Xbony2 and NickTheRed37: Try asking Game widow for help, since she is part of curse and can turn anyone into an admin or other position. The Blobs^16px 02:48, 25 May 2016 (UTC)

We have a semi-active community of our own (which could disagree on appointing a new admin), and even then it doesn’t focus on organized updating of the wiki. Either way, an attempt to make me an administrator was made at the end of February, and it failed. The situation should be improved if someone can make AttemptToCallNil or Asassin 1 (two of the Russian admins; Ivan-r is currently inactive) more active or more vigorous, as well as organizing the Global Update project will be done.

The only other reasonably active user of the Japanese wiki is MountainSteeve, but they appeared just recently. I’m fully supportive of making Otokoume an administrator there, but that wiki needs to have more users, perhaps including an already experienced one, as would it be possible for a single user not only to keep about 1200 articles in order, but also to create many templates (and possibly modules, if Scribunto will be installed there and someone knows Lua good enough) and to write an entire book of help pages for the potential future generation of users? — NickTheRed37 (issues’ wall) 14:50, 27 May 2016 (UTC)

The PvP Article

I am an experienced fighter who has played multiplayer minecraft for 5 years. I've played a lot of hours on pvp servers of many types, I stream on twitch, make youtube videos, and the article on PvP made me want to vomit. I embarked on a re-write but was auto blocked from deleting a large section called "troops" that does not refer to vanilla minecraft and had no context at all. I could not make head or tail of it. Oldlabert (talk) 22:26, 22 July 2016 (UTC)

A small thing: This doesn't require administrator action, this call to action would properly go on the Minecraft_Wiki_talk:Community_portal.

But you're right, the tutorial pages on this wiki get no systematic QA these days (and maybe they never did) so, any improvement you'd like to make would be welcome. – Sealbudsman ^talk/_contr 22:41, 22 July 2016 (UTC)

The Church page

The page is protected from creation. It should probably redirect to Village structures (which it didn't, according to the deletion log). Can an admin please create the page?

We currently have icons identifying edits made by Mojang employees.

"~=" is preceding with instead of equals. It was used so redlinks would me matched, as we are searching by title and if the user's page did not exist, the title is "User:X (page does not exist)". I think it is no longer required since the user profile system makes the user page always exist. –KnightMiner · (t) 03:37, 21 May 2017 (UTC)

Translate extension

It would be better if there will be an Extension:Translate installed in this wiki, rather than being individual projects, just like in the FTB Wiki (source). It will really help translators (like me) to translate pages into their own languages, without manually editing the pages and editing the corresponding language translation projects. I do not recommend installing it in interlanguages, as they are already translated into their own languages. – Dentedharp90041^tce 14:43, 21 September 2017 (UTC)

Use of this extension was touched on at Minecraft Wiki talk:Community portal#Translation cleanup, though there wasn't really a proper discussion of its use per se. I am passingly familiar with its use on Mediawiki.org and Meta.Wikimedia.org, and have never been terribly impressed with its markup requirements, but I've never made use of it myself so I can't comment on anything else really. 「ディノ奴千？！」^{? · ☎ Dinoguy1000} 15:43, 21 September 2017 (UTC)

The usage of Extension:Translate implies usage of special markup which may confuse newcomers. Also, as I have already noted in the linked discussion, VisualEditor apparently doesn’t understand such markup which may cause problems when using it. — BabylonAS (talk | ru.Wiki Admin) (fka NickTheRed37) 16:47, 21 September 2017 (UTC)

Correction for Babylon: it doesn't confuse newcomers, it seems to confuse everyone. As translation administrator of the FTB Wiki, from what I've seen, every other editor can't seem to figure out to edit around it, even the editors that should know how to. IMO it's really not that complicated, but it's not intuitive at all.

Also, you'd have to apply markup to every article, template and module. And if you do it right (not just putting the entire page in a <translate>) that will take a long time, along with the pain of fixing it when others break it. -Xbony2 (FTB Wiki Admin) (talk) 22:06, 21 September 2017 (UTC)

Yes, even that. I think FTB Wiki had it installed when it wasn’t intended to be freely edited (until one of FTB Wiki’s prominent editors called for allowing open registration). On the other hand, MediaWiki and Wikimedia’s Meta wikis are open, yet have it installed. Is it more stable there — I don’t know.

By the way, new Wikimedia projects (like Wikipedia’s language sections) are actually started on Meta’s incubator. Gamepedia’s closest analog of Wikimedia’s Meta is Gamepedia Help Wiki, although it is primarily used only as a help wiki. If reorganized (and probably renamed to something like “Gamepedia Central Wiki”), it would be a better place to start wiki translation projects, rather than the specific English wikis.

Also, Extension:Translate wouldn’t eliminate the current project system: in fact, it will be best used if projects are adapted to it. — BabylonAS (talk | ru.Wiki Admin) (fka NickTheRed37) 16:04, 23 September 2017 (UTC)

The wiki was freely editable at the point it was introduced, not really relevant though.

Stuff needs to be re-transferred if Extension:Translate is to be adapted to a page. For example, if we marked up Dirt, all of its subpages (like [[Dirt/ua]]) would be cleared away (like this) unless they were moved and then restored. That's been an issue on the FTB Wiki, since we want all translations to be through the interface so it can keep track of when its outdated and whatnot but we don't have the translators to move everything over to the new system. -Xbony2 (FTB Wiki Admin) (talk) 19:48, 23 September 2017 (UTC)

New page for requesting page protection

Hello! I think to create a new page for requesting page protection, and this page may be used to only request page protection, like Wikipedia's requests for page protection page. Psl85 ^Talk 18:53, 26 February 2018 (UTC)

Support. I've been thinking the same thing. The wiki is continuously growing, and pages keep getting vandalized. A lot of the time, requests for page protection aren't noticed for many weeks. (edit: see my comment below, I now oppose) --

Madminecrafter12^{Talk • Contributions} 19:22, 26 February 2018 (UTC)

Thanks! I will go and create this page! Psl85 ^Talk 19:40, 26 February 2018 (UTC)

If these requests are pushed to a single dedicated page, it'd provide a greater overview and the related people will be able to find stuff quicker. Especially if that page also gets sorted in some convenient way. But then at least one admin should keep an eye on it, or it won't do anything. Sadly the page deletion system currently doesn't work like that yet... – Jack McKalling [

] 19:43, 26 February 2018 (UTC)

Okay! Psl85 ^Talk 20:03, 26 February 2018 (UTC)

This probably should have been discussed more before being implemented, but uh, okay. -Xbony2 (GRASP) (FTB Wiki Admin) (talk) 22:25, 26 February 2018 (UTC)

In my opinion, such a page should be created by the administrators themselves once there has been enough discussion, not by any user who does not have the responsibility to monitor changes made on the page. TheLOLxd2 (talk) 23:15, 26 February 2018 (UTC)

I'm skeptical of this. In particular, it seems to me that the solution to one page not being monitored enough by admins is not to create an additional page that also has to be monitored by admins. Additionally, a discussion which is less than a day old, in which no admins commented, is not sufficient to determine that a new admin process page is wanted or needed. 「ディノ奴千？！」^{? · ☎ Dinoguy1000} 15:15, 27 February 2018 (UTC)

Then what's your opinion on adding a new section to the admin noticeboard instead, for requests like page protection, urgent page deletion, user blocking etc? If you think a separate page is undesirable for this. Either one section for all acceptable admin action requests or one section for each type of request. Because this content is not relevant to regular editors unless they're making a request themselves, and isolating general issues from the common requests makes it easier for them to find what they're really looking for on a page that has the tendency to grow huge like this one. – Jack McKalling [

] 20:00, 27 February 2018 (UTC)

I don't have a solution. The problem is (lack of) admin attention, and the solution to that is not (and will never be) to further fragment that attention.

This page's primary purpose is to bring issues to the attention of admins; ensuring non-admins can find things relevant to them isn't a primary goal (though it will inevitably align pretty closely with keeping the page usable for admins as well). I've explained in the past that there's no reason for the page to grow unmanageably big when anyone can archive old/resolved discussions, so I don't view that as a valid problem here. 「ディノ奴千？！」^{? · ☎ Dinoguy1000} 23:24, 27 February 2018 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but after thinking about this more, I now Oppose to this idea. The admin noticeboard isn't really getting that much traffic, and I don't think separating it will help anything. Particularly because page protections are really not done that often, more commonly blocking a user is necessary, and the last request for page protection (anywhere, including this page, the requests for page protection page, or an admin's talk page) was actually made several months ago. I don't see the requests for page protection page being useful in any way, and Dinoguy makes a good point about fragmenting admin attention unnecessarily.-- Madminecrafter12^{Talk to me} 14:41, 24 July 2018 (UTC)

We could delete it, it is COMPLETELY useless, and users prefer using the admin noticeboard for protection requests, the requests for page protection page it could be deleted,

psl85 (talk • contribs) 16:49, 24 July 2018 (UTC)

I also think we should just delete it and redirect to admin noticeboard just in case. But what about adding a new section to the admin noticeboard specifically for "protection change requests", and then just sort the relevant subjects under that heading instead? It would not "fragment" admin attention because it's still the same page, but it would organize the subjects better. That way both admins and requesting regular users alike can find (the place) that/what they're looking for easier. I'm also thinking the same way for "block requests" (excessive vandalism), but that may be just a different subject. – Jack McKalling [

] 18:07, 25 July 2018 (UTC)

Neutral. I'm not really sure how useful that would be, considering how little traffic the admin noticeboard has, particularly, as I mentioned, with page protection requests. It makes a bit more sense, imo, to have a separate section to report all kinds of vandalism/spam, regardless of how many users it is or if just one user needs to be blocked - this way requests like these won't be "cluttered" by reports of maintenance issues with the wiki, abuse filter problems, etc., but users wouldn't feel obliged to have to decide exactly what action an admin should perform and it would still get a fair amount of traffic. Still, I'm not sure even that would be necessary - I think it just makes things easier to have everything in one place, rather than in separate sections.-- Madminecrafter12^{Talk to me} 18:14, 25 July 2018 (UTC)

Oppose. I don't think we need such a page. We don't have that many protection requests (mostly the admins do that on their own) and the admin noticeboard isn't used too much so a request there wouldn't get lost. So the admin noticeboard is a good place for such requests.

MarkusRost (talk) 19:52, 30 July 2018 (UTC)

I've deleted it. There seems to be a consensus here that it's not necessary, and that it's much better to just post page protection requests on the admin noticeboard. Additionally, the user with the original idea for this, who was also the creator of the page, now supports deletion. I didn't turn it into a redirect, because I think it's confusing having MCW:Requests for page protection show up in the search suggestions and make people think that such a page exists. However, I would have no objections if someone else wants to make it a redirect, to do so, although I personally would disagree. Additionally, if someone wants to start a proposal to split the admin noticeboard into sections for different types of requests for admin attention, that would be fine as well, but can be discussed separately.-- Madminecrafter12^{Talk to me} 13:22, 22 September 2018 (UTC)

User warnings to this wiki?

Hello. I uploaded newly a stop hand icon to use in some user warnings to this wiki. These user warnings can then be used to warn vandals, spammers, disruptive editors, and to use to warn vandals for risking being blocked from editing.--Psl85 ^Talk 17:16, 14 March 2018 (UTC)

We already have several warning templates: {{Uw-delete}}, {{Uw-test}}, and {{Uw-vandalism}}. -- Orthotope^talk 21:31, 14 March 2018 (UTC)

For a week ago, I have created four new templates, {{User warning1}}, {{User warning2}}, {{User warning3}} and {{User warning4}} to warn users of all bad actions. And a {{blocked}} template, to put on blocked users talk pages, and {{tl|unblock}} template. Two more templates is needed, {{tl|unblock reviewed}} (to use on declined unblock requests) and {{tl|unblocked}} (to use on accepted unblock requests), because I want Wikipedia's warning system.

Please start also a warning system, and I will shortly create a blocking policy, warning policy, and vandalism policy pages, and please add a notice to let all users to request page protection in the requests for page protection page instead of on the administrators' noticeboard.--Psl85 ^{Talk Contribs} 18:15, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

Again, we already have templates for this, which aren't used very often as it is; how will having more templates improve things? This wiki is one-thousandth the size of Wikipedia (counting by pages or edits), so we don't have a need for some of the formal procedures they do. -- Orthotope^talk 01:46, 21 March 2018 (UTC)

While I think the user warning system of Wikipedia is a good idea, I think on this particular wiki, it's easy enough for admins to keep track of the relative amounts of vandalism by users. On average it seems that there are about 10 cases of vandalism a day on this wiki, but on Wikipedia, I've sometimes noticed about 15 per minute (that's no exaggeration; also that's 21600 vandalism edits a day if I did the math correctly, though I probably didn't :)). There hasn't really been any recent circumstances where a user has continuously vandalized pages and did not get blocked appropriately after a few days.--

Rename of 1.2.13/14 build x pages into 1.3 build x

I'm wondering why it's been chosen to rename pages like "Bedrock_Edition_1.3_build_1" (which has the actual build number 1.2.13.5 ) into "Bedrock Edition 1.3 build 2"? It doesn't reflect anything related to the actual build number reported by minecraft.net changelogs, nor the actual build number of the actual applications. The same pattern has been done throughout the entire 1.2.13 and 1.2.14 series. Holroy (talk) 22:37, 30 March 2018 (UTC)

Although I personally am not sure if renaming it like this is the best option, Ff98sha had done this because of this tweet, and it was discussed at User talk:Ff98sha#1.3 builds don't exist (yet), so if you want to join that discussion you're welcome to.--

Madminecrafter12^{T • C} 22:52, 30 March 2018 (UTC)

The new name is not referred to neither on Minecraft sites, like https://aka.ms/mcchangelogs, nor within the game files, so it's a strange rename. I've added some further notes in the mentioned user talk. --Holroy (talk) 23:20, 30 March 2018 (UTC)

Deleting by replacing content and moving without redirect

MinecraftPhotos4U (contribs) is currently performing a large number of edits to old Pocket Edition Alpha pages [edit: and other pages] marked for deletion, replacing their content with #REDIRECTs and moving them to completely unrelated pages. Is this an acceptable technique? It seems to me it hides or distorts the wiki history and is very confusing. – Auldrick (talk · contribs) 18:04, 11 April 2018 (UTC)

Do not move or rename a page by copying/pasting its content, because that fragments the edit history. (Minecraft Wiki's copyright license requires acknowledgement of all contributors, and editors continue to hold copyright on their contributions unless they specifically give up this right. Hence it is required that edit histories be preserved for all major contributions until the normal copyright expires.) But all the past edits made by MinecraftPhotos4U (contribs) is already done. So we may just leave it for now?--Skylord wars (talk) 12:13, 12 April 2018 (UTC)

Redirects violating style guide

I've managed to dig up a few that can probably be deleted instantly:

Dispencer
Greifing
Lapiz Lazuli

These all appear to violate the Style Guide section on redirects, since incorrect spellings are not allowed.

I've also marked numerous other most likely undesirable redirects for deletion, such as pages in the mainspace that redirect to user pages, unconventinal sentence formattings, and names for blocks and items which are most likely never used by anyone besides the redirect creator. - MinecraftPhotos4U (talk) 07:43, 17 April 2018 (UTC)

Create a "Help Desk" page where users can ask help and get answers

Hi! This wiki (and other Gamepedia Wikis) may need a "Help Desk" page (like Wikipedia's Village Pump) where users can ask questions, get answers, planned functions, and so instead of asking on this talk page, or other talk pages. The main reason for making that page is for this wiki have not yet a "Help Desk" or so talk page, users can ask questions there, get answers, and also plan some more functions on this wiki, and please add a link to the "Help Desk" in the sidebar so all users can quickly get there. --Psl85 ^Talk 16:23, 3 May 2018 (UTC)

Hey there. While I get where you're trying to go with this, I think that the community portal talk page is sufficient enough for the time being. If you, or any other users, need help with something, you can ask at Minecraft Wiki talk:Community portal. The community portal talk page is not really getting cluttered with users asking for help, so I don't really see much benefit in creating a help desk. However, I do think that it would be nice to make it more clear that if new editors have a question, they should refer to the community portal talk page.-- Madminecrafter12^{Talk to me} 16:32, 3 May 2018 (UTC)

Putting it in the sidebar would also invite questions about the game instead of the wiki, as if we were a chat board. – Auldrick (talk · contribs) 17:27, 3 May 2018 (UTC)

When categories are adjacent to links, they incorrectly delete paragraph breaks.

Issue

In the summary for Special:Diff/1206328, Madminecrafter12 was having a problem making the following paragraph break:

... taking a few seconds to become full.{{upcoming}}

[[Ladder]]s, [[sign]]s, [[fence]]s, ...

It was appearing like this:

... taking a few seconds to become full.‌^[upcoming]

Ladders, signs, fences, ...

So the editor had to force a line break with a <br> tag.

The heart of the issue

As far as I can tell, this happens whenever line breaks are the only thing between a category and a link. In Madminecrafter12's situation, the last thing included from that {{upcoming}} template was a category, and that was next to a link to Ladder. You can see it in this generic example, the category seems to eat all paragraph breaks on both sides:

...[[Block]]



[[Category:Example]]






[[Block]]...

...Block

Block...

And as Madminecrafter12 noted: you can put as many line breaks in there as you want, and they will all get deleted.

– Sealbudsman talk | contribs 21:40, 3 May 2018 (UTC)

I think an identical issue was discussed on Slack quite recently... --AttemptToCallNil (report bug, view backtrace) 21:43, 3 May 2018 (UTC)

This is a "feature" to stop category links creating unnecessary paragraphs, you'll note that categories will also eat any space above them, regardless of if it's after a link.

...Eat this:



[[Category:Example]]
But, [[Category:Example]]




don't eat this...

...Eat this: But,

don't eat this...

As such, categories need to not be at the start or end of templates that can be used within the flow of text. Simplest solution is to just stick a <nowiki/> at the end, which I made {{Template:cat plug}} for, so someone doesn't go removing it thinking it was a mistake. –Majr ᐸ Talk

Policy pages

Hi! I have now planned to create some "policy" and "guideline" pages, and "help" pages (could be redirects to gphelp wiki) to use as guidelines for blocking, deleting, protecting, and vandalism, how to fight it. Planned pages are suggested to create:

Minecraft Wiki:Blocking policy - blocking guidelines
Minecraft Wiki:Deletion policy - deletion guidelines and a "criteria for speedy deletion" section in the page to use as deletion guidelines using the templates {{speedy delete}} and {{delete}}. It could also contain when the templates can be used.
Minecraft Wiki:Protection policy - guidelines for page protection
Minecraft Wiki:Vandalism - vandalism guidelines, how to revert and warn users using the templates {{User warning1}}, {{user warning2}}, {{user warning3}}, {{user warning4}} and/or {{uw-vandalism}}, the general vandalism warning.
Minecraft Wiki:User pages - guidelines about use of user pages.

An template {{nutshell}} and a image File:Nutshell.svg is needed also to the template.

Any questions, ask below, and use {{ping}} to notify users in the discussion. If pages are ok, can I draft them using my draft page and please help clean up them if they are choosed to create them. Psl85 ^Talk 12:01, 9 May 2018 (UTC)

Please don't. If these pages were needed at this time, there would either be editors asking about them, or they would have already been created.

And vandalism and user pages are already covered by the MCW:Wiki rules. This wiki is small enough to not need any more than this.

Separate archive nav

I propose having the archive box that lists all the archives of the admin noticeboard to be separate from the header. So basically, we would create a page named [[MCW:Admin noticeboard/Archive nav]], that lists all the archives in an {{archive box}}, like what we have right now in the header. Then we would transclude that page onto either this page or the header page. I personally like transcluding it onto this page better, but right now the archive box is on the header page, and there's probably a reason for that. The reasons for doing this are, A. so that normal users can add new archives, it's kind of a pain having to contact an admin every single time this page is archived, and B. (less important than A) it would be consistent with almost all other talk pages, including the community portal talk. Thoughts?-- Madminecrafter12^{Talk to me} 16:11, 26 May 2018 (UTC)

Allowing more people to edit it would be good, though it would technically make the header editable as they can easily add content outside the box. I don't see that being too much of an issue though as its already possible below the header template, so overall I'm in favor of splitting it to a semi-protected page.

I think before we decide to transclude the header on to this page, we should better clarify the difference between this page and MCW:Admin noticeboard, as its a little vague what the difference is. I remember it stated before that the main page was for quick issues while this one was for longer discussions that require administrators, which I would agree to formalizing. –KnightMiner · (t) 16:49, 26 May 2018 (UTC)

I think Madminecrafter12 means the main page that this is a talk page of, when saying "this page", not this actual talk page itself. You're starting an actual new subject, which in my opinion is also very much worth a discussion. This talk page could do with a header as well. But the subject here, is that it isn't possible for regular editors to edit the archives list of the main admin noticeboard, as it is included in the transcluded header, which is fully protected. If we want regular editors besides admins to archive the page, it would be convenient if the archive list on the page has it's own semi-protection separate from the header, by splitting that part of the subpage into another subpage. I think the header should still be the place where the new subpage is transcluded, because the transclusion of the archive subpage itself doesn't need to be semi-protected, just its contents. So I Support the split. – Jack McKalling [

] 09:21, 27 May 2018 (UTC)

I just unprotected the header. If someone wants to vandalise the page, they can do so either way, so having the header protected doesn't accomplish anything. –Majr ᐸ Talk
Contribs 11:26, 27 May 2018 (UTC)

Change to when users have been blocked unfairly

"If you believe you have been wrongfully blocked, please visit an admin's userpage and send them an email using the left sidebar." First of all, and most importantly, most blocks are to IPs, which can't email users regardless of circumstances. Also, registered users may have email disabled, either voluntarily via preferences, or by the blocking administrator using block settings. Imo, it's better to discuss the block on the user's talk page, rather than via email. It allows for easier communication, it allows multiple admins to get involved much easier, and like mentioned before, most importantly, it would allow users who can't use the email feature to discuss their block.-- Madminecrafter12^{Talk to me} 22:18, 22 July 2018 (UTC)

Sounds good to me. -- Orthotope^talk 00:32, 23 July 2018 (UTC)

It sounds also good, we could change this to that all blocked users could post a {{t|unblock}} request on their talk page OR send email to the blocking administrator, and {{t|unblock}} could notify all administrators on the wiki on the [[:Category:Requests for unblock]] page, or send e-mail to the blocking administrator, and where should any appeal emails be sent if example: me getting blocked permanently with no talk page or no email, and the only appeal is through sending email to which email address?

psl85 (talk • contribs) 06:17, 23 July 2018 (UTC)

Support from me. I don't understand why this hasn't been done sooner. In my opinion, a block should always be personally explained on the relevant talk page, optionally also mentioning their own access to their own talk page so they can reply (if relevant to the block). I don't necessarily believe we need a template for that, each block is handled on a case by case basis anyway, so a personalized approach seems fair to me. – Jack McKalling [

Make the YouTube filter so that it only tags edits rather than warns the user?

I would suggest modifying Special:AbuseFilter/10 so that it only tags any edits that get caught in it, rather than warns the user. I've observed quite a few of the edits that got caught in the filter, and from what I had observed, the ones that don't get caught in other filters (i.e. spam) seem to fall into the following three categories:

False positives. The vast majority of the edits got caught in this filter have nothing to do with adding YouTube, but are instead adding stuff to a line that happens to have a YouTube link on it; in fact, almost all edits fall into this category. I'm not saying that every single one of these edits are constructive, but most of them are, and the ones that aren't... well, that's not the responsibility of this filter. So, what happens here, is a user makes a constructive edit, receives some bitey false warning, and is sometimes too scared to proceed any further.
Not false positives, but incorrect catches; i.e., someone adds a YouTube link which is correct, but gets warned about it. Again, what happens here, is a user makes a constructive edit, received some bitey false warning, and is sometimes too scared to proceed any further.
The edit in question is pure vandalism or spam. However, most of the time, the user in question doesn't care about some "stupid warning" if their intend is to spam or vandalize; they'll just ignore it and make the edit anyways. So here, it's not really useful.

Based off of the above, I've come to the conclusion that making the filter warn users does more harm than it does good, so would suggest removing the "Warning" consequence from the filter, leaving it so that it only tags edits that come through this filter with "added youtube video." However, I'm not really sure how useful the tag even is, considering how almost all the catches are false positives.-- Madminecrafter12^{Talk to me} 01:14, 24 November 2018 (UTC)

I'd say keep it deprecated for some time (maybe 2 weeks), then we can really determine the impact of the filter change, and if we find out we shouldn't have changed the filter like this, it'll be easier for us to revert; if we find out the filter change helped, we should be able to delete the message as well. --AttemptToCallNil (report bug, view backtrace) 15:14, 30 November 2018 (UTC)

Confirmation on Ultra Hardcore Page relevance

Hi guys, can I get admin/mod confirmation on whether the Ultra Hardcore page should exist? It's not Minecraft content, and rule 6 clearly states fan-made community stuff does not belong on the primary pages of the wiki. Scimiguy (talk) 21:30, 22 April 2019 (UTC)

Not really sure what the relevance is of an employee having played it before.. Marc has played Hypixel, should we add Hypixel to this wiki as well?
