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 when posting an issue.

Before posting an issue here, consider the following:
 * As this is a noticeboard and not a talk page, please refrain from discussing.
 * Post only issues that require administrative action, i.e. blocking vandals, protecting pages, restoring deleted pages etc.
 * Do not post deletion requests here. Deletion requests should be made by adding  to the top of the target page, which will then automatically mark the page as a candidate for deletion.
 * Do not post issues regarding content disputes. Try making a request for comments instead.
 * Mediation requests between users should only be made if a resolution could not be reached between users.

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 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.

Broken User Page
My user page has gon beserk! Can you fix it? Link here: User:1234567890Number --1234567890Number 22:56, 25 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Fixed, sorry for the delay. -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  20:11, 2 November 2012 (UTC)

The CSS is broken for me
I think you screwed up on the CSS a bit.

(shows the 'glass panes' page with adblocker, and without adblocker in the second image in the album)

If you are wondering, I am using Google Chrome 22.0 (stable), windows XP, and the screen resolution is 1024x768. I tested this in firefox, too, and still had the problem. I haven't tried it in IE yet, due to my laziness vs the slowness of IE.

I will test this later on my higher resolution monitor (much), with windows 8, and chrome 23.0(dev channel).

Tried to access "Issues" - was told to report problem here
The page is http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Known_bugs/Version_1.3.2. It won't load.
 * The page is down again. -- KADC - &#34;Be unreasonable.&#34; 16:41, 8 October 2012 (UTC)

The error message is "Issues cannot be accessed. This is usually caused by a corruption in the latest version of the page and requires the page to be deleted and undeleted to fix it."

I'm running Mac OS X 10.7.5, Safari 6.0.1. No other problems.

Shep
 * I found two more bugs, went to the known bugs page to see if anyone else had reported them and received the same error message as above. If the page still isn't working tomorrow I will attempt to revert it to the previous revision. -- KADC - &#34;Be unreasonable.&#34; 03:41, 30 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Don't bother trying to revert - this sort of page corruption needs an admin to fix. -- Orthotope 04:10, 30 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I tried to "undo" the last revision and got the "conflicting edit" error just before your reply. If an admin is unable to fix the page, the redirect from "known bugs" to "issues" could be removed and the content pasted from the history in "issues" back to "known bugs" until the page is repaired. -- KADC - &#34;Be unreasonable.&#34; 04:33, 30 September 2012 (UTC)
 * This is an ongoing issue we are experiencing on highly edited, large pages. It can only be fixed by an admin (which it has been now). Please do not move/remove content to place elsewhere as it won't fix the problem, and will only mess up the page histories. If it happens again to this page, or if you find this error on any other page on the wiki, simply report it here, and it will be dealt with as quickly as there is an admin available to do so. Thanks! -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  09:37, 30 September 2012 (UTC)
 * The issue with the issue page is back it seems. Pokechu22 23:19, 9 October 2012 (UTC)

Vandalism on Pig, Pocket Edition, and Enderman. 14:19, 5 October 2012 (UTC)

I find all of those moves highly unnecessary. Feel free to remove this section if those changes are fine with the admins. 12:43, 6 October 2012 (UTC)


 * A problem is that he created 150 double redirects... -- Hower64 13:39, 6 October 2012 (UTC)

Weekly issues 12w40a needs locking
Some people are still editing it, possibly thinking it's the latest weekly page. Pls. take out my temp warning header before lock. Tx. --Simons Mith[82.69.54.207] 15:13, 8 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Issues pages are kept open since people still play them and find bugs. In this case, not much usually changes in lettered versions of the same weekly. Think of 12w30a-e. Just leave the old ones alone.  16:48, 8 October 2012 (UTC)
 * That's funny, I thought they were usually locked. Never mind, then. Even more important that I corrected that misleading header, tho'.--82.69.54.207 16:55, 8 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Really old ones are locked, e.g. weeklies prior to 1.3.1, but anything a part of the next version's development is kept open until that major release.  17:42, 8 October 2012 (UTC)

Also corrupt. Looks okay now, but trying to edit or step through the history brings up an error page. -- Orthotope 06:18, 9 October 2012 (UTC)

I think it's safe to assume it's broken for everyone. --The Only Zac 18:10, 13 October 2012 (UTC)

I'd say its safe to assume this page is broken for everyone, and hopefully it will be addressed soon. I got the same message as N3odymium when I checked it only a few moments ago. -- 10/14/12 @ 12:49am EST [GMT+5]

I also got the same error message as everyone else -xMicroNinjax 14/10/2012 @ 17:41 GMT

I got the same thing. Samdude68 18:37, 14 October 2012 (UTC)

It is 12w41b already. --Minecraft5025 11:45, 12 October 2012 (UTC) Broken for me too. 16:06 EST

Wrongfully blocked:
This is me. I was blocked when I tried to set up my user page, probably too much of an information dump. I cannot contact any of you directly because even after multiple requests, I did not receive a confirmation email (the adress is valid and working, no spam issues either), so I can't use Special:E-Mail. Would be nice if someone could look into that, too. --79.221.209.82

Vandalising Witch with a YouTube link. 22:36, 25 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Not vandalism, just noobism, it appears. Talking to him/her seems to have fully addressed the problem. --82.69.54.207 00:16, 26 October 2012 (UTC)

Painting
Needs to be deleted in order to move Paintings there. -- Orthotope 08:29, 28 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Why hasn't someone done this already? is there some kind of major discussion going on on whether to move it or not? Trigger hurt 15:35, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

Mods
Visiting this page, I received the message, "Mods cannot be accessed. This is usually caused by a corruption in the latest version of the page and requires the page to be deleted and undeleted to fix it." It suggested reporting it here, so I am :)

It would be useful to keep lwjgl and java versions there to get the most current version from one source. --Minecraft5025 (MC5025) (Talk! Contributions!) 01:45, 29 October 2012 (UTC)

Repeated vandalism. 94.237.64.32 02:22, 29 October 2012 (UTC)
 * I must agree, quite obviously smelting coal in a furnace with a crafting bench does not yield golden blocks. Trigger hurt 11:45, 29 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Continued vandalism.  20:59, 30 October 2012 (UTC)

Copy/paste move
Could an admin please do a history merge at Painting? Trigger hurt did a copy/paste move from Paintings, screwing up the page history. --timrem 18:19, 29 October 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry, but i could not simply move the page, there was an error. I was unaware that i messed up the history, please fix that if you can. Trigger hurt 18:23, 29 October 2012 (UTC)

Malware notice
I cleaned out the two posts that were here, hopefully preventing further ones. An ad server utilized by the Curse network has been infected and already taken care of, but not before many browsing bots, including Google, detected the bad ads. More information can be found here and here and a news post on MMO-Champion (also a Curse site) briefly explains the problem. There is currently no harm in any Curse site and any warnings you may receive can be dismissed. 18:35, 1 November 2012 (UTC)


 * Then do all curse site HAVE TO display ads? --Minecraft5025 (Mclogo.svgGrass.png) (Talk! Contributions!) 21:29, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

Do you know if the malware affects Macs? If so, any good antivirus/malware software for macs? 174.234.81.99 20:09, 2 November 2012 (UTC)

What was the name of the malware? Pokechu22 00:33, 7 November 2012 (UTC)

Main page still has this problem I think, auto-redirect to Panda Cloud security (because THAT's not suspicious(!)) 83.70.170.48 09:21, 7 November 2012 (UTC)

Theres some more malware links in the transport section of this wiki in the boats or minecarts i got some stupid popup from some program pretending to be an antivirus program. so theres still some issues that need to be resolved!--86.146.93.85 19:34, 9 November 2012 (UTC)

Please add new music disc Grid_Wait_Disc.png to Template:Grid
I have been adding the new disc wait from the 1.4.3pre to the music disc pages and the last thing I need to do is update the grid containing images of all the discs. Please add this to the template so the new music disc is there. RibShark 18:04, 1 November 2012 (UTC)


 * To be honest, i would if i could, but i do not know how. Trigger hurt 20:16, 2 November 2012 (UTC)


 * Ah, so we need an admin to do so. Well i guess i should have figured that out already, since it is on the admin noticeboard... try asking around some of the admins, see if they will do it. #trigger_hurt(I 19:45, 9 November 2012 (UTC)


 * No? User:Minecraft5025 already added it a while ago. You only need to edit Template:Grid/Available images which contains the images. -- Hower64 11:32, 10 November 2012 (UTC)
