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:, 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.

 * Seems to be working fine for me, though I only tested previews and diffs, not actually saving the page. If it's still a problem for you, contact Wynthyst; it looks like a server backend issue that Curse would have to fix. -- Orthotopetalk 00:18, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Strange, I also can't edit the English version of that page, I also had this problem with other large pages. -- TheWombatGuru   t undefinedc  NL Admin  00:45, 5 January 2014 (UTC)


 * The page is taking too long to load, so php is timing out. There's a lot of sprites on that page. –Matt ᐸ Talk Contribs ⎜ 01:47, 5 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Same problem here, I will contact Wyn for it. - CrazyBliep   NL Admin  08:25, 5 January 2014 (UTC)

GUI
Dear Orthotope,

I'm not sure what GUI is, but why don't you remove the crosshairs from the pictures because I'm not sure how to do so.

Sincerely,

SquareMan (talk) 22:56, 18 January 2014 (UTC)SquareMan78649

PS: It really doesn't matter if you use either a render image or in-game image of the cold-en oak tree. As long as they both look the same, it's fine.


 * As two people have already explained on your talk page, pressing the F1 key will hide the in-game GUI (inventory bar, arm/item in hand, and crosshairs). -- Orthotopetalk 01:52, 19 January 2014 (UTC)

Furnace
Any reason you deleted the redirect? It's a fairly common misspelling, so I thought it would be fine, unless it's this wikis policy to not use redirects or something. 68.112.222.22 05:23, 27 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Redirects are useful for alternative names (Dinnerbone redirects to Nathan Adams), making links less case-sensitive (Cobblestone wall redirects to Cobblestone Wall), and not breaking links when pages are moved, among other things. However, they generally aren't for misspellings of common words. -- Orthotopetalk 05:46, 27 January 2014 (UTC)


 * I see. It's a common policy on many wikis to redirect for common misspellings, which is why I was confused. 68.112.222.22 07:03, 27 January 2014 (UTC)

Block this user longer: EpicBox99090900
I have a dick little 11 year old brother who can't resist trolling this wiki when he saw I got a account. When I told him to get off mine, he made is own account and griefed, but not before griefing on my account. I will change my password and delete history after I log off, so he can't get on. But the point is, I haven't been griefing. That was my brother. Insted of blocking ip, just block registering from this IP and ban my bro's account. If you can please. wait, Bob99090900O (talk) 20:35, 29 January 2014 (UTC)

And now concerning user User:Bob99090900O: there's a large amount of page griefing coming from this account, mainly on user Talk pages. Skylinerw (talk) 02:28, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

Hi Orthope, Do you know how can I add the tooltip in the "crafting table" like in the "Crafting" section of this page?

Thanks in advance for any reply.

--Raffox97 it.Wiki Admin 14:11, 7 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Matt is responsible for the Lua magic that does that. If you want it on the Italian wiki, you'll need to have the Scribunto extension installed, copy all the relevant, and update the related templates. -- Orthotopetalk 19:17, 7 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Actually, if you just want the tooltip, you just need the "Minetip" JS and the relevant CSS. –Matt ᐸ Talk Contribs ⎜ 23:34, 7 March 2014 (UTC)


 * And how can i add the "Minetip" JS and the CSS on the italian wiki? Thanks in advance for the reply.

Why did you do it and where do I put the warning edit. 96.49.236.201 08:23, 14 April 2014 (UTC)

Unless it is corrupted disk like disk 13 and 11.

It also has a very weird picture in the wave picture of 11.

Check out videos that have proof on it.

But sorry bud, I cannot help you too. But i have xbox 360 and i'am a professional.

Roofed oak saplings in 13w43a
You just undid my change to Sapling, but if you take a look at Development_versions it says added Roofed Oak. Reijerzzz (talk)


 * That particular version is no longer available in the launcher. The name had been changed in the 1.7 prerelease (the next version available), not the 1.7.2 prerelease. Fixed. -- Orthotopetalk 17:51, 23 April 2014 (UTC)

can I still use block Ids for commands
Can I or do I have to use the block name now in the lasted update 96.49.236.201 03:46, 15 May 2014 (UTC)


 * Depends on which version you mean by 'latest update'. In the 1.8 snapshots, named IDs must be used, rather than numeric ones. -- Orthotopetalk 05:35, 15 May 2014 (UTC)

New user profile
Hi Orthotope, I've noticed that statistics on my new user profile page are not updated. Do you maybe know why? Thanks in advance for any reply. --Raffox97 it.Wiki Admin 16:35, 15 June 2014 (UTC)


 * Curse has mentioned that they're still working on getting that part to work properly, no idea when it will be fixed. -- Orthotopetalk 18:38, 15 June 2014 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the reply, but as I can see on another profile on the Italian Wiki the points are updated as like the rank and the level. Maybe it's a my problem.

Updated altitude graphs?
Will there be any updates to the altitude graphs? The most recent one was for Minecraft 1.5, and Minecraft 1.8 will be out in a few months. You're the only person who appears to have edited them, and I've learned that they are difficult to make after trying to compile some data myself using MCEdit and spreadsheets. Are you planning on updating them? Do you have scripts that help create them or at least compile the text-based data? I am interested in helping if needed. --65.8.89.87 08:25, 18 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Orthotope got scripts from from VictorJavAdore who wrote a Java module that created the custom SVG graphs, but VictorJavAdore said he lost his own copies of the source code. Zerpa has shared Ruby scripts that use gnuplot, and someone named l0b0 on GitHub has released a Python package called mian that uses matplotlib. --65.8.84.82 17:14, 30 June 2014 (UTC)


 * I haven't had time to do much with this lately. I can provide a copy of my code and binaries if you give me an email address to send it to. -- Orthotopetalk 18:18, 30 June 2014 (UTC)

Namespace of the italian wiki
Hi Orthotope,

I've a problem with the Italian Wiki. As you can see the namespace of the wiki is not "Minecraft Wiki" like for example the English Wiki, the Spanish Wiki or the other Wikis. As can I see the Italian Wiki is the only that have a different namespace. Can you change it or do you know how can I (or someone else) change it?

Regards,

--Raffox97 it.Wiki Admin 10:19, 25 June 2014 (UTC)
 * You can change it here: http://minecraft-it.gamepedia.com/MediaWiki:Pagetitle-view-mainpage to  ILeon ᐸ Talk Contribs -  de.Wiki Admin  10:31, 25 June 2014 (UTC)


 * Maybe you misunderstood what I say. I didn't mean the title of the main page. I mean a thing like this, if you can see the projects page begin with "Minecraft Wiki:" but in the Italian Wiki they begin with "IT Minecraftwiki:" but in other wikis (example: the spanish wiki) they are like in the english wiki. I think that now my talk is more understandable.
 * --Raffox97 it.Wiki Admin 12:14, 25 June 2014 (UTC)
 * The namespace is wrong. ILeon ᐸ Talk Contribs -  de.Wiki Admin  13:19, 25 June 2014 (UTC)


 * Namespaces are defined in the MediaWiki configuration file, which only Curse staff have access to. Game widow is the person to talk to about this sort of thing. -- Orthotopetalk 18:40, 25 June 2014 (UTC)


 * Thanks.
 * --Raffox97 it.Wiki Admin 19:46, 25 June 2014 (UTC)


 * Sorry for the delay, i've been on vacation, but i'm just confirming that i've put in the request for this change. (Please correct me if i've misunderstood, but i have requested that the namespace on the Italian wiki be changed from IT minecraftwiki to Minecraft Wiki) — Game widow (talk) 16:25, 26 June 2014 (UTC)

Rabbit foot
I think you forgot the "rabbit's foot" one for items template, but anyway, thank you. Please add that one too.MamiZaCraft (talk) 17:38, 1 July 2014 (UTC)


 * I don't think apostrophes can be part of the name, since they're used in the module as string delimiters. Matt may know how to escape them, since he's the Lua expert. For now,  will work. -- Orthotopetalk 17:52, 1 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Uses quotation marks around the string. As in ["rabbit's-foot"]. See Module:BlockSprite/IDs' Jack-o'-Lantern. --KnightMiner  (t 18:07, 1 July 2014 (UTC)


 * I think 'rabbit\'s-foot' should work as well. Yetanotherguy 18:19, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

Re: Rabbit's Foot page
Not speculation, see Wikipedia article on Mission: Impossible III.

--66.102.85.37 21:38, 4 July 2014 (UTC)


 * I'm familiar with the movie and its Macguffin. However, as per Rule 7, speculative content is not to be added to this wiki. Unless someone at Mojang confirms that it's intended as a movie reference, it's far more likely to refer to the historical use of an actual rabbit's foot. Note that this is also speculation and should not be added to the article unless confirmed by Mojang. -- Orthotopetalk 22:08, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

Suspicious "Doom Gate"
Hello Orthotope!

I looked into recent changes and saw a "Doom Gate" T Flip-Flop made by Hello2215. However, it lacks a reasonable source like most other circuits do. Is it against the rules? Also, the schematic isn't there... Keep that in mind.

--Regards, Naista2002 (RU T C) 07:29, 7 September 2014 (UTC)


 * I don't see a problem with it. The section could be improved – create a schematic, modify it a bit to use redstone wiring as inputs instead of buttons – but it's not violating any rules. -- Orthotopetalk 07:47, 7 September 2014 (UTC)


 * It's not violating any rules, but it's a trivial variation of Grizdale's TFF right above it. &mdash;munin &middot; Grid_Book_and_Quill.png Grid_Stone_Pickaxe.png &middot; 07:52, 7 September 2014 (UTC)


 * By the way, the "Doom Gate" can be a full SRT latch/flip flop. The Reset input must be connected to the top dropper through a solid block:


 * --Regards, Naista2002 (RU T C) 08:25, 7 September 2014 (UTC)
 * P.S. This section should be moved to Talk:Memory circuit. I selected User talk:Orthotope just because I wanted to find out whether this is a violation of rules or not (I am slightly new to this wiki). --Regards, Naista2002 (RU T C) 08:33, 7 September 2014 (UTC)

Database dump
Could I kindly request a database dump of the wiki? Internet can be jumpy at times and the wiki is always a good resource to have at hand. Thanks! 49.148.191.31 03:22, 13 September 2014 (UTC)


 * I don't have a way to export the entire database; you'd have to contact Curse about that, and I don't know how willing they'd be to let someone clone the whole wiki. However, you can export the pages you want using Special:Export, and import them into your local MediaWiki installation. -- Orthotopetalk 04:43, 13 September 2014 (UTC)

Requesting Rollback Ability
Hi Orthotope,

Sorry about my recent revert spam on the Pocket Edition upcoming features page. May I request the ability to rollback like you and the admins can, or can you tell me how I can perform a rollback if I already have it?

&mdash; &middot; 20:42, 1 October 2014 (UTC)


 * We don't have a specific rollback group, and only bureaucrats/Curse (i.e., not me) can change user group rights anyway. The easiest way to revert multiple edits is to go to the page history, compare the pre-vandalism revision of the page with the current one, and use the 'undo' link on that diff page. It's a few more steps than a rollback, but does the same thing. -- Orthotopetalk 20:50, 1 October 2014 (UTC)


 * No worries. I did that before and manually typed in the "revert consecutive edits by " edit message but wasn't sure if that was the correct way to revert mass vandalism. I'll do it in future if the need arises. :-)


 * &mdash; EthanCentaurai &middot; 21:10, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

He made more vandalism edits than his partner, ‎24.165.63.119. Why block him for 1 week - the same period as ‎24.165.63.119? For these three edits he made, it seems like he must be blocked for 1.5 to 3 weeks.

— Naista2002  ♦   07:57, 4 October 2014 (UTC)


 * Both IPs seem to be controlled by the same person, based on their edits (and attempted edits caught by the abuse filter); I don't see a need to block one IP longer just because it happened to be used more than the other. -- Orthotopetalk 08:06, 4 October 2014 (UTC)


 * Okay, fair enough. Probably I forgot that IP address used by one person tend to change. Naista2002   ♦ Grid Book and Quill.png Grid Iron Pickaxe.png 08:08, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
