Strange flash messages

We have a little problem with flash advertisements in the german wiki. Sometimes the page reload automatically and shows websites like "flashhomesurport" or "flashplayerupdating". These are not pages from Adobe, but they looks like this. A trap?-- Oliver Scholz Wiki Admin 16:01, 4 January 2014 (UTC)

Dutch page nl:Sjabloon:BlockSprite/doc

Hi,

We're having some problems on the Dutch wiki, when i try to make changes to the Template talk page nl:Sjabloon:BlockSprite/doc it goes to this screen: [1], just a white screen with in the url bar a url which states that it's submitting but it's done loading, do you know how to fix this? I've tried deleting and remaking the article, didn't work. I also have this problem with the english version of this page and sometimes with other large articles. -- TheWombatGuru t | c NL Admin 01:18, 5 January 2014 (UTC)

It's not only TheWombatGuru. I have it too :(. - CrazyBliep NL Admin 08:25, 5 January 2014 (UTC)

This is happening because that page uses the a template too many times. {{BlockSprite/entry}} I would suggest splitting those tables onto separate subpages. -- Wynthyst User Wynthyst sig icon talk 15:42, 5 January 2014 (UTC)

Only on the Dutch wiki or also on the English one? -- TheWombatGuru t | c NL Admin 15:43, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
I split it up into 2 templates, it works on the English wiki, but not on the Dutch. -- TheWombatGuru t | c NL Admin 15:53, 5 January 2014 (UTC)

Directors Group

Can you remove this old german Admins please:

  • The Miner3865
  • P1lzsuppe
  • YSelf
  • Cba

and add:

  • Sumpfhuette

Thank you. -- Oliver Scholz Wiki Admin 21:11, 5 January 2014 (UTC)

Done. -- Wynthyst User Wynthyst sig icon talk 19:20, 7 January 2014 (UTC)
Hmm, you've forgotten YSelf. :( And please remove XiLeons, his name is now ILeonx. Thanks so much! -- Oliver Scholz - Wiki Admin 14:36, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
3 admins are inactive at the French wiki : Scaler4 (bureaucrat), Zemeckis (admin) and Jimeowan (admin). Can you check these users and demote them if necessary? — Itouchmasterpro d c 15:47, 15 January 2014 (UTC)
We generally don't demote for inactivity. This trend needs to stop. -- Wynthyst User Wynthyst sig icon talk 20:04, 15 January 2014 (UTC)

Problem with CAPTCHA.

Hello, Wynthyst! I'm user on Russian Minecraft Wiki. I don't speak English, so there may be errors. We had a problem. When I edit a page and add links to external sites, I was asked to choose photos of cats. But when I select them and press the button "Save page", I was asked to choose again. Five times I tried to edit a page and still does not work. This is a problem I encounter the first time. I hope you will help to deal with it. Thanks in advance :). Asassin 1 (talk) 15:19, 16 January 2014 (UTC)

This is a know issue, and is being looked into. -- Wynthyst User Wynthyst sig icon talk 17:41, 16 January 2014 (UTC)
The CAPTCHA seems to be working now. Is it possible to configure the extension to disable the CAPTCHA for registered users with at least N edits? --GreenStone (talk) 14:28, 21 January 2014 (UTC)
It should not be triggering for registered users unless they have not confirmed their email address. -- Wynthyst User Wynthyst sig icon talk 17:28, 21 January 2014 (UTC)
Still getting it. My groups are "Autoconfirmed users" and "Users". (not the error, but the captcha in general) --eagle3000 (D ~ B) 17:53, 21 January 2014 (UTC)
Looks like the CAPTCHA is configured to trigger for everyone but administrators. --GreenStone (talk) 18:30, 21 January 2014 (UTC)
I'm running into this on the non-English wikis as well (i.e., ones where I'm not an admin), even with a confirmed email account; the ConfirmEdit configuration may need to be fixed. Also, according to mediawiki, the infinite-cats problem may be solveable by installing Extension:Asirra, rather than using the ConfirmEdit module. -- Orthotopetalk 19:46, 21 January 2014 (UTC)

I have this check stopped working a few days ago. And I have not manifested itself both in the native me section, and in this, and even in Polish. By the way, I don't know English. Grid Diamond Sword Ivan-r is admin in ru-MWiki 18:45, 21 January 2014 (UTC)

We have figured out the issue, it should be fixed soon if not already. -- Wynthyst User Wynthyst sig icon talk 22:21, 21 January 2014 (UTC)
Take my words back. Grid Diamond Sword Ivan-r is admin in ru-MWiki 11:57, 22 January 2014 (UTC)
Now everything is fine. Select al the pictures of the cats and page enrolled. And you can make this test were only unregistered or low-active users. Thanks for the help! Friendship is magic :3 Asassin 1 (talk | 123) 14:30, 22 January 2014 (UTC)

Lua

Could you give me another update on Lua/Scribunto? As far as i can tell Scribunto has not been added, althought it was planned for 9th January. What happened? --eagle3000 (D ~ B) 23:18, 18 January 2014 (UTC)

The delay is totally my fault! Sorry guys, the dev team told me it would be available on the 9th, I failed to apply it to MCW. As soon as I can get a recache, it will be there! -- Wynthyst User Wynthyst sig icon talk 09:33, 19 January 2014 (UTC)

You can help me?

I was seeing the Minecrafting Wiki and the crafting menu is deleted. I can help with the crafting, but is necessary recreate the page. You can do this for me? (Sorry, I'm brazilian and not good in English)

This page was corrupted, so it was replaced with an earlier version that may need to be updated. -- Wynthyst User Wynthyst sig icon talk 20:32, 20 January 2014 (UTC)

Decimal to hexadecimal converter

The situation is this: For this template was formerly a subpage. But after processing the template it has become useless and has been removed. But, on the service page, under "Required templates this page for some reason there is, and there's a link. But when you view "Link on the template, the page no links! I hope you understand me. Here are links to three pages, which may explain this situation (including remote sub-page): ru:Служебная:Требуемые_шаблоны; ru:Служебная:Ссылки_сюда/Шаблон:Decimal_to_hexadecimal_converter/Switch; ru:Шаблон:Decimal to hexadecimal converter/Switch. P.S. It's all in Russian wiki. Grid Diamond Sword Ivan-r is admin in ru-MWiki 15:14, 20 January 2014 (UTC)

I have no clue why that is showing up as a wanted template.-- Wynthyst User Wynthyst sig icon talk 15:35, 20 January 2014 (UTC)
Clear. Probably a bug. By the way, we had a small argument: bureaucrats can create new groups of rights for the users? Grid Diamond Sword Ivan-r is admin in ru-MWiki 16:59, 20 January 2014 (UTC)
No, Bureaucrats can not create new user groups. -- Wynthyst User Wynthyst sig icon talk 20:31, 20 January 2014 (UTC)

Copycat sites

Hi Wynthyst, I'm the Chinese Wiki Bureaucrat Craft_Lawrence.
so it seems the unauthorized copying problem is coming back.
http://minecraft.gamedog.cn/hechengbiao/list_1947_1.html
Absolutely everything is copied from the Chinese wiki with no source attribution no nothing.
What can we do about this situation? Since it's a commercial site, it's obviously a violation and it's really getting me frustrated.
Thanks for the attention.
—— Craft Lawrence (talk) 05:57, 29 January 2014 (UTC)

Hi Craft Lawrence, I understand your frustration, unfortunately, there's really little we can do, especially with these Chinese domains. I don't want to offend anyone, but I'm sad to say that the Chinese government, the regulating body for all things in China including the internet, has little respect for copyright rules that the rest of the world use, so there's really no one we can "report" the violation to who would actually do anything about it. About the only thing I can say is imitation is the highest form of flattery.... I know... it doesn't help much. We do all the work and don't get any credit. Just know that we are by far the best there is when it comes to Minecraft information. -- Wynthyst User Wynthyst sig icon talk 06:42, 29 January 2014 (UTC)
Would things be different if this happened to other language Wikis other than Chinese sites? --Craft Lawrence (talk) 10:02, 29 January 2014 (UTC)
Not really, though we do report gross violations on our English sites, it's simply not worth the cost of actually following through with legal action if they choose to ignore the report. -- Wynthyst User Wynthyst sig icon talk 17:30, 29 January 2014 (UTC)
I would assume so. Anyways there may not be a legal way to stop them from copying, but I have taken advantage of my influences in the Chinese communities to issue notifications among all of the main forums about this vile incident. We're gonna make sure they get what they deserve. And again, thank you for your attention. -- Craft Lawrence (talk) 21:28, 29 January 2014 (UTC)
Hi, Wynthyst I'm happy to tell you that our forum has begun the negotiation with this copycat site.That site has admitted what they have done. Our forum is the friendly site of Minecraft Wiki so our admin also ask that site to stop coping from Wiki.Althought you can't help much, but still thank you for your reply. ----a20001017.

New Wiki project

You know curse? As you can move on to the platform Gamepedia almost lost a wiki project? Good game, but it and the players are not, not that clever participants. I much as I can I will write there. I admit, perhaps a wiki would be almost dead. I don't know yet what about my venture will say administrators wiki: them in a network does not catch. But it is a pity that disappear knowledge about the game in the middle of nowhere. Wiki Russian. Here are the links to the wiki and forum: [2] ; [3]. - Yandex translate. Grid Diamond Sword Ivan-r is admin in ru-MWiki 18:53, 30 January 2014 (UTC) P.S. There is very spammers. That fortunately in addition to the personal pages of nothing more edit.

Ivan, we are doing the best we can. We have no one on staff that is fluent in Russian, and therefore have a hard time developing abuse filters that actually work with the Russian alphabet. You and your community could be of assistance, by translating our existing filters. Anyone with Admin access can see them http://minecraft-ru.gamepedia.com/index.php?title=%D0%A1%D0%BB%D1%83%D0%B6%D0%B5%D0%B1%D0%BD%D0%B0%D1%8F:%D0%A4%D0%B8%D0%BB%D1%8C%D1%82%D1%80_%D0%B7%D0%BB%D0%BE%D1%83%D0%BF%D0%BE%D1%82%D1%80%D0%B5%D0%B1%D0%BB%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%B9/&result=success&changedfilter=21 It's also hard for us to develop new filters for you, because we can't read the spam, to see the spammer's patterns, etc. -- Wynthyst User Wynthyst sig icon talk 23:11, 1 February 2014 (UTC)
We do not have many spammers who try to write in Russian. Most of the spam edits are in English and are caught by abuse filters. --GreenStone (talk) 04:11, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
Sorry, I didn't properly explained. I'm not talking about this wiki, and the creation of a new project about another game that doesn't apply to Minecraft Wiki. I guess I should change the translation service. Grid Diamond Sword Ivan-r is admin in ru-MWiki 12:28, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
Correct me if I'm wrong, since my Russian isn't very good, but I think Ivan is suggesting that Curse create a wiki for Transport Tycoon and similar games. -- Orthotopetalk 19:27, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
This I wanted to say. Thank you. - Yandex Translate. Grid Diamond Sword Ivan-r is admin in ru-MWiki 20:05, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
Sorry for misunderstanding. Anyone can suggest a new wiki, just go to http://www.gamepedia.com/ and click on the Suggest a new wiki button. The suggestion will be reviewed and if accepted, a new wiki will be opened. -- Wynthyst User Wynthyst sig icon talk 16:36, 4 February 2014 (UTC)
Thank you. I'am take a look. Grid Diamond Sword Ivan-r is admin in ru-MWiki 18:30, 4 February 2014 (UTC)

Search bar not functioning properly

It seems a bit late, but after the migration, the search bar on the Chinese Wiki seems to be bugged, it does not give the list of all the auto-complete pages when typing. —Powup333 ZH Admin 15:04, 1 February 2014 (UTC)

There are many known problems with Sphinx search that our team is working on correcting. -- Wynthyst User Wynthyst sig icon talk 23:02, 1 February 2014 (UTC)

Russian wiki files

Hello, Wynthyst.

There is an issue with files in Russian wiki. Some images' current versions are displayed as their first versions (example here). Deleting/undeleting does not resolve the problem. --GreenStone (talk) 11:20, 6 February 2014 (UTC)

Checked. It seems a problem in all language sections. Here is a link to my test: File:test_file_work.png. Grid Diamond Sword Ivan-r is admin in ru-MWiki 12:16, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
Seems fine to me. Remember to clear your browser's cache after uploading new versions of files. -- Orthotopetalk 20:08, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
We are experiencing some issues with our images. Hopefully this will be resolved soon. -- Wynthyst User Wynthyst sig icon talk 20:19, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
It is strange that it is decided purely expectation. Probably a bit server into a reverie. Now I don't see a problem. P.S. my test please delete. Grid Diamond Sword Ivan-r is admin in ru-MWiki 15:03, 7 February 2014 (UTC)

Administration

On the Russian Minecraft Wiki, very few active admins and very many vandals, I would like to become one of the admins, to check pages and struggle against vandals. Thank you for your attention. Google Translate --Eneetonn2 (talk) 11:40, 9 February 2014 (UTC)

Incorrect. There are enough administrators to react to vandalism. This user is not currently active on the Russian wiki. --GreenStone (talk) 11:50, 9 February 2014 (UTC)

Extension request

Any chance we could get TorBlock installed? I don't see any need for people to use Tor to access the wiki. -- Orthotopetalk 00:17, 10 February 2014 (UTC)

New group users

We originated the proposal to create a new group. Now we discuss its challenges, opportunities, as well as the need in a whole. At the end of the discussion, could you create a new user group for us? — google translate Grid Diamond Sword Ivan-r is admin in ru-MWiki 13:56, 10 February 2014 (UTC)

What kind of user group do you want/need? -- Wynthyst User Wynthyst sig icon talk 13:58, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
Group name=Moderators (Модераторы). Type= autoconfirmed. Lawe=rollback, patrol, autopatrol, deletrevision, deletedhistory, abusefilter-view, abusefilter-log, apihighlimits. Approximately so. Please return the rights of the administrator to user Norrius. Partially translated through Yandex translation. Grid Diamond Sword Ivan-r is admin in ru-MWiki 19:12, 25 February 2014 (UTC)

Extension request

Hello, can you add the DynamicPageList extension for the Chinese Wiki? It is needed in the lua module, so currently we cannot update our templates into the lua version in the English wiki. —Powup333 ZH Admin 02:21, 14 February 2014 (UTC)

Requesting to add this extension for the Russian wiki as well. --GreenStone (talk) 11:11, 15 February 2014 (UTC)

Curse Videos

Would it be ok if the admins were to remove the protections from Curse video pages (i.e. ----/video pages) so that myself and others can add to them without needing to bother the admins? I asked Majr here and he told me to ask you for confirmation. GoandgooTalk

A new idea to meet certain needs

Hi Wynthyst,
So lately I've been thinking about making an anthropomorphized embodiment for Minecraft Wiki (something like what Wikipedia did with Wikipe-tan) since it seems that it would really benefit for the advertisements in Chinese forums.(Thanks to all that Japanese sub-culture influence)
I know it's probably more of a Directors' discussion issue, but I wanna seek your advice first on if it's legal or appropriate.

Thanks!

Administration of Minecraft Wiki Brazilian Portuguese

Hello Wynthyst, I am a user of Minecraft Wiki in Brazilian Portuguese, and seeing the situation in which it finds itself, with the administrators offline a long time, and thus the main pages outdated I decided to ask what requirements to be an administrator of this wiki and if there was a possibility of me being an administrator of it. If you need I'm the one with the highest score in the Minecraft Wiki Brazilian Portuguese WikiPoints. Sorry if I wrote something wrong, my english is not very good. Jhonabf [Talk]

He's right. Ruansvrn324 is inactive since september 2013. I think Jhonabf might assume admin rights.

Browser search engine plug-in?

The old wiki had a browser search engine plugin that allowed me to search the wiki from my browser toolbar. I guess it continued to work by redirect for a while after the migration, but it now seems to have failed. Any chance gamepedia will offer a plugin for the new site? (I say plugin, but it's just an xml file offered by the server)
