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.

Archives

I recently created a 17th archive for the noticeboard, can someone update the header template to support the new archive? Thanks! 1234567890Number (talk) 11:59, 27 September 2013 (UTC)

 Done — Hower64 12:53, 27 September 2013 (UTC)

Spam filter blacklist

Both me and Bb 20 have been unable to link to Fraps.com on hardware performance because it is triggering the spam filter. Would someone be able to fix this? Thanks! -- ^t numbermaniac ^c 01:19, 28 September 2013 (UTC)

Adjusted the blacklist, see if it behaves itself now. -- Orthotope^talk 09:08, 28 September 2013 (UTC)

It works! Thanks! -- ^t numbermaniac ^c 12:03, 28 September 2013 (UTC)

0x10^c wiki redirect (moved out of archive because its sill a problem)

When the 0x10^c was shutdown it for some reason started redirecting to 0x10c Wiki.--007a83 ^{Talk | Contribs} 06:23, 22 September 2013 (UTC)

More accurately, 0x10c.gamepedia.com is being forwarded to minecraft.gamepedia.com, which definitely shouldn't be happening. Nothing we can do here, Curse will have to sort it out next week. -- Orthotope^talk 06:43, 22 September 2013 (UTC)

I will get this resolved on Monday. -- Wynthyst talk 07:07, 22 September 2013 (UTC)

Used files marked as unused

When multiple files are linked through semicolons (for example in grids), only the first file is displayed as used.

Example: File:White_Wool.png and File:Orange_Wool.png are both used in Template:Block in the article Wool, but only the White Wool is displayed as used. (White Wool links/Orange Wool links)

Is there a way to fix that? --eagle3000 ^{(D ~ B)} 16:49, 28 September 2013 (UTC)

It will be fixed when we have lua. –Matt ᐸ Talk

Could u explain that to me a bit more? ETA for that? (because we're trying to delete all unused files in the german wiki, which we can't do in this situation) --eagle3000 ^{(D ~ B)} 21:10, 28 September 2013 (UTC)

The animation images are added and shown with JavaScript, so the images aren't "used" according to the wiki. When Curse updates to MediaWiki 1.21 (probably in a few months), we'll have lua and a lua version of the grid template which will create all the images, and JavaScript will just show them, so everything will work normally. –Matt ᐸ Talk

Administrator rights

Can I be an administrator in this wiki? 1234567890Number (talk) 18:32, 28 September 2013 (UTC)

What will becoming an administrator allow you to do that isn't being done now? -- Wynthyst talk 19:13, 28 September 2013 (UTC)

Whatever. Just forget this request.1234567890Number (talk) 22:48, 28 September 2013 (UTC)

Made this account for my little cousin. I caught him trying to vandalize Iron Golem. I pressed the cancel button just then and the page was safe. Put him away from the computers for a few hours was what I did, so in the time I have I am typing this message. Please block just the account, not the ip address. Thanks! 1234567890Number (talk) 01:52, 29 September 2013 (UTC)

He also unsuccessfully tried twice to vandalize Wither, but the filters caught it. He hasn't done any more than other random hit-and-run vandals so he doesn't deserve a block, yet. —Kanegasi ☺C 03:18, 29 September 2013 (UTC)
