Service error 500 on certain page edit
Somehow I'm unable to edit Renewable resource at all. I can edit my userpage, but this page (now) always gives a 500 error no matter what I do. I want to revert this edit, but I can't. I wonder if this is a problem specific to that page or more areas of the wiki, so I tried my own page but worked fine. – [ Jack McKalling ] 10:41, 3 April 2018 (UTC)

Pages take very long to upload
Usually, when I edit a page, it takes several hours before my edits actually become visible in that page. This also happens to me when I edit other Gamepedia wikis such as the Terraria wiki. Does anybody know why it takes so long for my edits to appear? 194.251.17.11 16:04, 7 April 2018 (UTC)

Can't edit links of my own program
When trying to update the links for my own program (WorldPainter) on the Mapping page, I was unpleasantly surprised to be confronted with the following text: "Your action has been automatically identified as harmful, and therefore disallowed.

 * Alright, I managed to dredge up my old Minecraftforum/Minecraftwiki/Curse/Gamepedia/Twitch/Whatever account and it let me do it. Thanks!

Archiving
Guys, I'm only going to say this once: if a topic on this page is archivable, just archive it. There's no point in moving stuff to a "ready to be archived" section, and no requirement that an admin be the one to do the actual archiving. 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 09:58, 15 April 2018 (UTC)


 * I agree that there's not really any use of the "archivable issues" section - once an issue is definitely solved, there's no reason to keep it here; it just clutters up the page. So are you saying that we should go ahead and create Archive 30 and call it "Jan - May 2017" or something, move the existing archivable issues there, remove that section, and for future reference go ahead and add any solved issues directly to Archive 30, unless it's after May 2017? Or do you have another idea?-- Madminecrafter12 Orange Glazed Terracotta.png to meLight Blue Glazed Terracotta.png 12:21, 15 April 2018 (UTC)


 * If all the discussions currently in that section were wrapped up in that timeframe, yes; otherwise the discussion should be archived to the appropriate-dated archive page. The only other suggestion I'd have about this would be to formalize what date ranges each new archive covers, and how long after the conclusion of a discussion to wait before archiving (my immediate thought would be three months for both of those, but there's no reason they have to be the same either). 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 12:47, 15 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Yep, we should archive this page. If anyone want's to continue their discussion, they should make a new topic in the new page.--Skylord wars (talk) 13:01, 15 April 2018 (UTC)


 * I would suggest an entirely different archival method, as well as wiki-wide archival guidelines. However, this is beyond the scope of this page. I suggest creating a new topic at Minecraft Wiki talk:Talk page guidelines. For some reason, there were two archival-related proposals on that page, but apparently neither passed. --AttemptToCallNil (report bug, view backtrace) 13:02, 15 April 2018 (UTC)


 * The only alternative archival method I'd suggest would be to have an archival bot automatically handle archiving pages. There are plenty of examples running on Wikipedia, many with public code that could be reused. 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 13:05, 15 April 2018 (UTC)


 * What I meant was that instead of determining archivable topics by date range we would e. g. place a fixed number of topics in each archive (on non-user talk pages). I find substantial flaws in date range based archiving. I will explain further in my next post. --AttemptToCallNil (report bug, view backtrace) 13:13, 15 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Wikipedia generally uses size in bytes. Number of discussions is better than date range, but a single monstrous thread can still drastically inflate the size of an archive. 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 15:35, 15 April 2018 (UTC)


 * The original purpose of the archivable issues section was for me to separate them from the other issues, so that someone other than me could archive the bunch. I've learned a bit about the process now and I think I can do it myself as well when needed. But for now, I've kept the separation because the issues could not be/were not archived at once and I needed more tips about those dates to do the remaining. I agree the archives are not necessarily easily organized by date, because I'd ask myself a lot of questions before it's clear to me. Do I archive issues that were created or those that were updated within a certain date range? What about issues that were solved before but replied to after? Indeed what about thread length (mentioned above as well). Or issues that have not been marked as fixed/resolved but are indeed actually fixed? I had a lot of more detailed questions as well that I forgot, but simply put it was too much for me to just do myself. I really don't mind if we just archive the remaining issues now and break out the hard headers again, but I think we really need to agree to a set of rules and finalize them somewhere before we do. Currently the separation works for splitting the task of solving and archiving a subject between different editors (so I do think the separation is still useful to some extent). I really like the bot idea, but I don't know how they work and if they can follow the rules we'd set to the process. I'm sorry if it became unclear as to who should have done the archiving. – [ Jack McKalling ] [ Grid Book.png Grid Book and Quill.png Grid Diamond Pickaxe.png ] 10:38, 16 April 2018 (UTC)


 * I'm pretty sure, after my archiving edits got reverted, that what archive page the post should be archived to depends on is the date that the last comment was posted for that subject, even if it was after the issue was resolved (please correct me if I'm wrong). Honestly, I don't think we need a bot - I'd be happy to archive any solved issues, and some editors may be willing to as well. Unlike Wikipedia, we don't have a trillion issues that need to be archived every hour to prevent mass overload, so although a bot would be nice, there's no need to wait until we have a bot to start archiving.-- Madminecrafter12 Orange Glazed Terracotta.png to meLight Blue Glazed Terracotta.png 13:27, 16 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Archiving should be done from date of last comment, yes. As long as we settle on a timeframe of inactivity past which sections get archived, it doesn't matter whether the section is marked as resolved (or even is resolved), since any section with a last comment older than the cutoff would be archived. And for unresolved topics that get archived, if someone wants to raise the issue again, they can either unarchive the section or just start a new one.
 * I agree a bot would be overkill for us on a single page, but if we used one I'd strongly recommend it handle archiving all talk pages on the wiki, rather than individual opted-in pages (though we'd also still want a mechanism for opting in, since e.g. this page is a discussion page which is not in a talk namespace, and we'd also want a mechanism for customizing the cutoff date and archive size, or even opting out of auto-archiving, e.g. to allow individual editors to control archiving of their talk page). 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 18:13, 17 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Well, I've archived all of the archivable issues now (/Archive 30) but I will wait to remove them from this page until an admin adds the new archive to the header. For future reference, I would suggest lowering the header protection to semi- OR, better yet, has the archive nav on a separate page.-- Madminecrafter12 Orange Glazed Terracotta.png to meLight Blue Glazed Terracotta.png 18:46, 17 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Regarding the global bot. To keep track of what the bot should and should not archive, it could globally opt-in those whole namespaces that we know, like Talk:(main) and Talk:Minecraft Wiki for instance, and for those pages that need to be excluded from those global settings, get a tag on the page, e.g.  or , depending on whether it wants to add to or remove from the global setting of that namespace, respectively. But I'm not sure how bots work (efficiently). – [ Jack McKalling ] [ Grid Book.png Grid Book and Quill.png Grid Diamond Pickaxe.png ] 07:58, 18 April 2018 (UTC)


 * As I've said before, bot archiving is largely a solved problem; there's little reason not to just adapt a Wikipedia archive bot with publicly-available code. In particular, for opt-in or opt-out of specific pages, we'd use something like wikipedia:User:MiszaBot/config. 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 14:59, 18 April 2018 (UTC)

 * Three things, mainly:
 * I changed the terminology so that "development versions" (they're not really development vesions) are now referred to as "short-term support versions", same for "stable" and "long-term support versions".
 * The Java 9 download link is now broken because Oracle removed it from their downloads, so I removed that and added a Note with a link to the Java Archive, also saying that Java 9 is no longer supported, will no longer receive security updates and that Oracle recommends you don't use Java 9.

Reduce issues pages protection down to semi- and note on /video pages
I suggest that we reduce the protection on issues pages down to semi. Although usually these pages don't need editing, you really just never know. Specifically, many pages and files are being moved to more appropriate names, causing a lot of links to need to be updated. If semi protection doesn't work out, then maybe we can go up to full again, but I really don't think full protection is necessary anymore.

On a similar note, I suggest reducing the number/types of users that are affected by the AF on the /video subpages. The abuse filter is one of the areas of wikis that I'm really not knowledgeable in, but would it be possible to do something like only allow users to edit it only if they have made at least 200 edits to the wiki or something like that? I know there's some kind of filter that filters registered users that have made less than 3 edits from performing certain actions, which is why I would even think something like this would be possible. I'm not sure if it would be a great idea to allow any registered user to edit video pages, but if something like a minimum of 200 edits is possible, I think it would be beneficial to try doing that for the /video subpages and see how it goes.

Oh, and one more thing. Are we going to start demoting admins who have been inactive for over a year? This was discussed on the community portal talk page and has now been archived, and it seems like most of the community supported this idea, but none of the admins who haven't edited in years have been demoted since.-- Madminecrafter12 Orange Glazed Terracotta.png to meLight Blue Glazed Terracotta.png 02:32, 3 May 2018 (UTC)


 * I don't have much comment on the protections, other than to note that /video protection specifically is a policy that was put in place when Curse was still producing videos for the wiki, at their request; the edit filter is a natural extension of that policy. It is definitely technically possible to change it to only apply to editors with fewer than x edits, but I'm not prepared to do so without a comment from or another Curse person giving the okay.
 * The inactive admin demotion not happening yet is just because I haven't taken the time to write up a notice and drop it on admins' talk pages. If anyone else wants to do so before I get around to it, feel free, and drop me a list of notified accounts on my talk page. 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 04:11, 3 May 2018 (UTC)

Why do we even keep Java Edition HW performance data?
What's the purpose of users submitting their JE performance data?

Pro:

Contra:
 * There are external benchmarking software programs, some of them with more maintained and comprehensive result databases, which may also include submission verification.
 * There are official system requirements, and a free demonstration version to determine whether/how your computer runs MC.
 * A substantial portion of users are likely to use unofficial content which impacts performance (such as modifications or higher/lower resolution texture packs), making vanilla measurements not very useful.
 * Users are submitting bogus entries almost all the time. We have to revert it.
 * There are just too many factors affecting PC performance in general, far more than on mobile devices.

I propose we delete Java Edition hardware performance and all related pages. --AttemptToCallNil (report bug, view backtrace) 10:28, 13 May 2018 (UTC)


 * Bedrock Edition hardware performance isn't at all scientific either, so also isn't useful. –Majr ᐸ Talk Contribs 11:06, 13 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Shouldn't it be archived and protected instead like with the old issues pages? - MinecraftPhotos4U (talk) 11:26, 13 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Aren't issues pages just as pointless now? Oh, and there's recently been a proposal to unprotect issues pages.
 * The problem is maintenance. Unless it's deleted, we have to maintain it. --AttemptToCallNil (report bug, view backtrace) 11:29, 13 May 2018 (UTC)


 * Issue pages document historical bugs. If we knew all that data was documented elsewhere (maybe even including who reported it?), such as the issue tracker, then they could be deleted. The hardware performance pages don't contain any reliable information to begin with, so there's no reason to archive them. –Majr ᐸ <small style=display:inline-block;line-height:9px;vertical-align:-3px>Talk Contribs 11:42, 13 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Letting users to submitting their performance data is complete useless. People only see the minimum requirements and recommended requirements. This page should only show the requirements, not the performance. The page Server/Requirements is long not updated. Server software from Mojang is completely free, so there is no need to worry.

 * Pinging as he is the main maintainer of the Java Edition HW page. – KnightMiner  · (t) 23:53, 14 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Didn't receive a notification for this, thanks Internet!
 * Anyway, I have to agree that even with all the effort that we put into this to keep the benchmarks semi-reliable for the benefit of others .. it's definitely not the best way to go about benchmarking and sharing data seeing as the way we ask users - with full trust not to manipulate or poison the end results - to get that data is based on opinion of what may work best. It's sad to think that to hours of work I put into it are a bit of a waste but yet that seemed rather inevitable when I started. I can't see this data being useful for future use as most modern machines will run this software just fine anyway. I can see it being good for only archival use going forward. -- RhythmicDaze <sup style="color:blue">(Edits)

It looks like there is consensus that these pages should not be kept. Given these pages were rather prominent, it is likely they should be redirected instead of deleting, possibly with notices at redirect target pages.

A proposed list of redirections follows:
 * 1) To Java Edition hardware requirements:
 * 2) Java Edition hardware performance, with all subpages deleted instead of redirecting.
 * 3) To Bedrock Edition:
 * 4) Bedrock Edition hardware performance,
 * 5) Bedrock Edition hardware performance (Android),
 * 6) Bedrock Edition hardware performance (iOS)

Other notes:
 * Hardware performance currently redirects to the JE page, but could be turned into a disambiguation page. Same with Hardware requirements.

 * Sounds decent, though I would redirect one of Hardware performance to Hardware requirements rather than keeping separate disambig articles, especially since the performance pages already will redirect to requirements. – KnightMiner  · (t) 15:06, 13 June 2018 (UTC)

Not sure the best way to handle this, but this user has copied and pasted by user page onto theirs with only very slight modifications, and it still says false info that only (and will only ever) applies to me, such as the fact that they created User:Madminecrafter12/MCW Records and that SkyGazer 512 is their Wikipedia account, when it's in fact mine (after discussing this on Slack, I've now tagged their user page for deletion). Also, they had completely copied and pasted two posts from other users on their talk page, forging their signature, and for a long time I had really thought that AttemptToCallNil and Philip57sundfors had actually made those posts (I've now removed the posts and reverted to an older revision).

 * Maybe it's some of the profanity that TranzLander used in the "Planning" section? I don't see much else that would trigger the abuse filter on the page, though I didn't look very hard. I don't know why that AF would be triggered on talk pages (after all, TranzLander did add the words themselves), but unfortunately, non-admins aren't able to view abuse filters or abuse logs (that's one thing I like better about Wikipedia).-- Madminecrafter12 Orange Glazed Terracotta.png to meLight Blue Glazed Terracotta.png 02:34, 16 May 2018 (UTC)

Hi, I noticed Jamethomas122 adding adverstiment/promotion in the "About Me" section in the profile, about booking cheap flights, and the user may need to be blocked, including from editing the "About Me" section in the profile due to adding adverstiment there, adversting is not allowed and the user violating the rules due to adversting, please block the user <font face="Comic Sans MS"> Philip57sundfors TALK CONTRIBUTIONS 08:14, 17 May 2018 (UTC)

Searching

What is the cause of this and how long does it usually take to be fixed?-- Madminecrafter12 Orange Glazed Terracotta.png to meLight Blue Glazed Terracotta.png 02:32, 18 May 2018 (UTC)


 * No idea what's causing it, Curse will need to get involved. Looks like this error message comes up any time your search doesn't include the main namespace and the exact page title isn't found. Possibly related is that the search feature only matches page content in the mainspace. -- Orthotopetalk 03:11, 18 May 2018 (UTC)

Old issue pages
Why aren't the old issue pages deleted? They don't contain any kind of useful information and some of them are horribly long, such as Issues/1.3.1, which is almost half megabyte in size. I think deleting such long and deprecated pages would be a good idea. 85.76.82.187 11:17, 21 May 2018 (UTC)
 * The issues pages may not be of interest to you (or me, to be honest), but they have historical value to lots of people, particularly those who reported bugs or commented on them. Also, since most of the bugs reported on these pages were never transferred into the bug tracker, this may be the only record that certain bugs ever existed or were fixed. – Auldrick (talk &middot; contribs) 18:04, 21 May 2018 (UTC)

Disruptive editing/false info on the turtle egg page, after being warned. I suggest maybe a week-long block?

 * User is blocked.
 * For the record, with this type of vandal the main thing he wanted is attention/to infuriate people, so sometimes they become bored after "winning" for a bit. Its does not feel right to leave vandalism on a page, but its not going to accomplish much to keep reverting unless he stops, and this type rarely stops if they continue to be reverted. – KnightMiner  · (t) 23:59, 24 May 2018 (UTC)


 * Saving a copy of a page from prior to vandalism isn't necessary; every edit to every page is saved permanently in the page's history, accessible by clicking the "History" tab at the top of the page, and any revision can be restored in this way. 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 04:55, 25 May 2018 (UTC)


 * I am aware of that, i have actually restored vandalism that spans multiple edits by resaving the last un-vandalized version before, I had simply copied the source itself because at the time it was the simplest thing to do. jjlr (talk) 05:00, 25 May 2018 (UTC)

Nintendo Switch Version History Link on Homepage
On the homepage the link to go to the history for the Switch version uses #14 when it should be using #s14 and it goes to the wrong entry every time because of it. This is an issue that's been happening constantly for ages. --Pizza2004 (talk) 02:14, 25 May 2018 (UTC)


 * I looked at fixing this, but to be honest I just can't wrap my head around the tangle of nested templates responsible for creating those links well enough to know what to change.

issue with user pages
Hello. On my user page, when I try to add, and trying to publishing the edit, will I appear logged out, it is usually technical error which causes I to automatically log out, it is a huge error and I want to have the template to my user page, and I not want to be logged out automatically when I try to save the edit. It also occured earlier today while in school, I got logged out and could not publish the edit, I saw on the screen:

Error: Your edit could not be saved due to a technical error. Please try again later.

Error code:685

Please search the systems for the error and then fix it.  Psl85  ♦ Chat with me ♦ ᗒ My Contributions ᗕ  13:41, 28 May 2018 (UTC)


 * Special:Contributions isn't a template, it's a page. When you put it in the template syntax, you're telling the MediaWiki software to interpret it as a template, but because it's just ordinary text that won't work. There is a way to show your contributions on your user page, but I wouldn't advise it because it would it's relatively expensive in terms of server load. By the way, your signature is ugly and hard to read. – Auldrick (talk &middot; contribs) 13:56, 28 May 2018 (UTC)


 * Also, in your particular instance, because of how this "transclusion" works like Auldrick said above, some of the new pages that you created that are being listed, are actually processed as code. So instead of showing  it would actually process any and all partial codes that said text contains, messing up a lot of stuff during page rendering. – [ <span class="gamepedia_pro_user">Jack McKalling ] [ Grid Book.png Grid Book and Quill.png Grid Diamond Pickaxe.png ] 14:06, 28 May 2018 (UTC)

 * - Although as Jack McKalling and Auldrick pointed out, you can't completely transclude your contributions, as that would mess a lot of things up, you can show your most recent 5, 10, 25, etc. contributions. To do this, add the following:




 * Also, as for your signature, I can read it just fine, although you may want to further distinguish the colors of the background from the text. I certainly wouldn't call it "ugly."-- Madminecrafter12 Orange Glazed Terracotta.png to meLight Blue Glazed Terracotta.png 14:17, 28 May 2018 (UTC)

 * The issue think I is problematic, and I want to have a template of most recent contributions on my page, the transclusion works, but I appear logged out when I try to save the edit and seeing the error message for "the edit could not be saved due to a technical error" and appear logged out.

Template:Delete
Hi! I need to upload an image and add it to the template:Delete page, but the page is protected, I cannot make it, and an admin needs to do it for me, and I need also make some larger changes to the template, please can the protection level be lowered from "sysop" to "autoconfirmed" so I can upload a trash bin image from Wiki Pedia and use it on the delete template and make some layout changes to the template? After I are done can the protection level be raised to "sysop" again. Please can this be done? --  psl85  &#9742; Talk  18:38, 29 May 2018 (UTC)
 * . There are still unresolved discussions about those templates going on, which need concensus before the templates should be modified. Please refer to for instance, this discussion about deleting redirects and its main WIP project here. After that discussion, the delete and speedy delete templates may need to be radically revisited. – Jack McKalling [ Grid Book and Quill.png Grid Diamond Pickaxe.png ] 18:56, 29 May 2018 (UTC)


 * Instead of lowering the protection so you can edit it, normally what is done is the changes are proposed on a talk page and an admin will add them once approved. So start a conversation there about what layout changes you wish to make, preferably by adding a mockup, and if there is a concensus someone will update it. – KnightMiner  · (t) 19:27, 29 May 2018 (UTC)

Vandalizing IP not blocked yet
The IP has been vandalizing 8 pages spread over the last month, and all their edits have been reverted except for  and, which weren't vandalism. But shouldn't they get blocked by now? – Jack McKalling 08:23, 30 May 2018 (UTC)
 * The reverted edits look more playful than malicious, and the IP has no talk page so they haven't even been given a warning yet. Plus, it's not like they're vandalizing multiple times a day: It's once every few days, and they have made a couple of good edits. I don't think the admins are going to block anybody like this (especially an IP that might be shared with other users) without at least a few warnings. – Auldrick (talk &middot; contribs) 13:20, 30 May 2018 (UTC)

I notice this IP user has been blocked before for 3 days due to vandalism, but has again done more of it today on two pages (both edits already dealt with), the day their block expired. Should they be blocked for longer? – Jack McKalling 14:13, 18 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Not blocking yet because they seem to have stopped. --AttemptToCallNil (report bug, view backtrace) 14:15, 18 June 2018 (UTC)


 * I'm a bit borderline about that one. Mainly because the type of vandalism is not really a huge deal, just very small number changes and not, e.g. blanking whole pages and replacing them with gibberish. Also, they seem to have stopped now after just making 2 edits. I personally would block them for a week or so if they continue. However, if another admin or GRASP thinks that they should go ahead and be blocked, I hold no objections whatsoever.-- Madminecrafter12 Orange Glazed Terracotta.png to meLight Blue Glazed Terracotta.png 14:17, 18 June 2018 (UTC)

despawning mechanics edit
I was adding a little part to the page spawn in the section about +128 blocks away despawning, but a filter prevented me to make the edit, and I can't even write my text here. what am I supposed to do now? --Mortealre (talk) 22:41, 23 June 2018 (UTC)


 * - thanks for reporting. I went ahead and added that to the Spawn page (and given you the credit =)), modifying a few grammatical/spelling errors and slightly rewording a sentence or two. I've been looking at the abuse filter rule 6 (the rule that your edit was caught in), and I'm not sure what word you added that triggered it. Somebody who's more advanced with abuse filter coding probably knows though, and this may be worth investigating.
