Minecraft Wiki:Admin noticeboard/Archive 4

Shouldn't we frown upon people using Wiki space for private discussion forums? I know the message on the top of the page says refrain from discussing, but I'm a chobo and not sure where else to raise this grievance? -- 16:08, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

He seems to change ALL mob health and attack, including mobs those have been removed from the game long ago. I cant believe that these new numbers are real. A admin should check its out, cause thats a lot of odd edits for someone which started contributing since today. ( 20:10, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

and then
I am unsure this is the place to tell but I`ve noticed this: Henryonewa gets blocked by the Abuse filter, some minuts after that the user Asasd asdas is created. He starts creating a page called:. I personally think that Henryonewa = Asad asdas. Oh, he/she seems to speak English trough a translator, I recognize those mistakes.

I am really confused about this user, since nobody has noticed he has edited his profile page a gazillion times, without caring about the preview button; making the recent changes page a clusterfuck of his own profile minor edits. -- 05:36, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

Constant vandalism implying a "". 20:04, 20 October 2011 (UTC)
 * I am watching the situation for further renewed creations. I will ban if I see it happen again. -- 20:11, 20 October 2011 (UTC)

Vulgar vandalism.-- 10:33, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

Edit war: Creeper.png and Cow.png
I've been seeing a lot of reverts on both these images in just the past hour alone. 20:13, 16 October 2011 (UTC)

Mobs are not affected by smooth lighting, period. Also, see the other mobs, they don't have smooth lighting on them. The render images are supposed to be faithful to the game, not be "cooler". Are most screenshots in the wiki taken with a 512*512 texture pack? No. C ali nou - ×  » 20:16, 16 October 2011 (UTC)
 * "faithful to the game", huh? Well, I guess we can then revert to the screenshots again, these are truly faithful. The models I use are at least not rebuild by sense of proportion. -- 20:28, 16 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Let's remember what is says right up top, this is not a discussion page. This should probably be taken to the discussion of those images.   (  |  ) 20:32, 16 October 2011 (UTC)

Creating an advertising page, possibly a scam. 23:26, 14 October 2011 (UTC)

Vandalism on Page

Edit war
This page is pretty much my child in this wiki, and although this is hard for me to say, I ask it to be locked down until the edit war about "is human removed or unused" is settled-- 22:13, 13 October 2011 (UTC)

Constant vandalism on various pages, most notably. 02:49, 13 October 2011 (UTC)

Abuse record. Nothing has gotten through, but might as well. -- 20:04, 12 October 2011 (UTC)

The nickname and the first two edits suggest that this person's primary mission is vandalism. -- 00:26, 11 October 2011 (UTC)

He's a complete idiot. Made  in the wrong spots. -- 18:31, 11 October 2011 (UTC)

Vandalizing and. 21:19, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

This. 12:02, 6 October 2011 (UTC)

I saw him vandalising the. checked his contributions, He vandalize a lot. He has been blocked before (July 2011). Seems to have resumed his old habit of vandalism. 11:00, 3 October 2011 (UTC)

Page: . And
The page was deleted, but he/she putted it back. And the user removed a tag. The page is not even in english, and in fact, I dont know which language it is really. 18:54, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

This user is continually undoing deletion tags to his page. He or she appears to only speak German, so I have attempted to warn them using Google Translate, but they may continue editing the page. 19:10, 25 September 2011 (UTC)

mis-blocked by abuse filter. -- 21:20, 24 September 2011 (UTC)

Keeps constantly adding YouTube links to pages. 21:01, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

This user is blatantly trolling the wiki, as indicated by their profile page and contributions. -- 10:17, 17 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Correctly linking the name causes something unwanted to appear. -- 10:21, 17 September 2011 (UTC)

Vandalizing troll way. CosmoConsole 	   07:10, 17 September 2011 (UTC)

Vandalism. –  17:04, 16 September 2011 (UTC)

Mis-blocked by abuse filter -- 02:59, 7 September 2011 (UTC)

Uploads lots of skins which are unused, I see it as vandalism and trolling (because, he refers to "I make skins every 5 minutes and I'm idiot"). C ali nou - ×  » 17:32, 5 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Warned for now. – (&#124;) at 11:18, 6 September 2011 (UTC)

Vandalized -- 16:39, 4 September 2011 (UTC)
 * I have undone the damage, please ban him
 * 16:49, 4 September 2011 (UTC)

Vandalized. CosmoConsole 	   06:18, 3 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Looks like it's dealt with... CosmoConsole 	   06:49, 3 September 2011 (UTC)

Signature contains illegal advertising. See. (I commented out the link to prevent people clicking on it.)   16:20, 2 September 2011 (UTC)


 * He added the link after he added his comment and signature. In cases like this, it's better to just remove the link, I think, and if he keeps adding it elsewhere, a block may be warranted. 「」· 19:25, 2 September 2011 (UTC)

hide or delete recent articles and mojang tweets
Because this completely messes up the wiki layout, there's hardly space left for the articles. Make these boxes hidable, or remove them please. Browser is FF 6, resolution 1024x768

--15:47, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

This makes the shorter wiki articles unreadable on handhelds and smaller laptops. The right side of pictures in galleries are unselectable. If this is implemented, put it at the bottom/top of the page, not to the side where it complicates things. 15:58, 16 September 2011 (UTC)

Another option is to put it in the left side bar, below Toolbox and the other links. 01:58, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

unblock
The abuse filter ran amok, you better correct this: – 09:22, 28 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Already unblocked :P --   09:23, 28 August 2011 (UTC)
 * wow, fast! thanks. – 09:25, 28 August 2011 (UTC)

Posting links is snafu'd
Unlogged in users have to preview the page before they can save an edit with links in it; but trying to save requires a captcha to be put in (things like 24-8=? or 3+29=?). The process goes: Click edit page, Put your text in, Be forced to click show preview, Get ability to save and try to do so, Be forced to enter chaptcha but can't click save a second time because it's disabled (i.e. forced to click preview again).

Captcha isn't on preview page but editors are required to be on preview page to save. Captcha requires save to work. So can't save and can't enter captcha. This is especially a problem because it also applies to talk/discussion pages. 00:24, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

Constantly posts his videos on some of the 1.8 content pages. He has been warned by an admin on this issue before. He won't listen to reason, and deletes anything written on his talk page. -- 01:06, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

And he just edited this to a non-existent user. -- 01:13, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

Moving pages
Just a heads-up to everyone who follows this page, pages should not be moved by copy-pasting them into the new title, they should be moved by using the "Move" link in the dropdown menu immediately to the left of the search box. Pages which have been moved via copy-paste must be to restore their history; this is something that can only be done by administrators. If an admin needs help or is unable or unwilling to do so for whatever reason, post here or on my talk page and I'll help out. 「」· 01:39, 14 September 2011 (UTC)

This user keeps editing in a specific user's "let's play" tutorial/spotlight videos to the new 1.8 articles. Despite warnings they keep undoing the cleanup on their vandalism. 17:54, 14 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Um... warnings? There is nothing on his talk page (which hasn't even been created yet) to indicate he's been warned, or informed of the rules. Edit summaries do not qualify as warnings or discussion or anything else. --   18:31, 14 September 2011 (UTC)
 * So until the talk page has warnings the user's re-adding of the "let's play" videos will go ignored? I'd start now on that note but it's a little late. 18:35, 14 September 2011 (UTC)
 * The point is, not everyone crawls Recent Changes and sees edit summaries. It's up to those of us who know better to educate those that don't. The most direct way to do that is on their talk page. Rather than getting wound up and asking for a block of a user, start with discussion. If the discussion is ignored and the behavior continues, then bring it here. --   18:44, 14 September 2011 (UTC)
 * But the user is knowledgeable enough to go to histories to undo edits. -- 18:55, 14 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Looks like they are back to reverting edits for the youtube videos. I myself won't touch the undo button any more. As-is it looks like a revert war. Also I don't think this user is responsible for making the videos. It seems like a fanbase just editing them into pages. He/she isn't the first. -- 19:00, 14 September 2011 (UTC)

IMO, Jamiesda is .-- 19:36, 14 September 2011 (UTC)
 * We can't determine that. We're just users. I wouldn't hurry and throw out that as a conclusion. -- 19:52, 14 September 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm just saying. Same videos, same attitude, same behavior.-- 19:55, 14 September 2011 (UTC)

They've taken to vandalizing user pages now. I've reverted both edits and warned them accordingly. That makes at least three warnings. -- 20:55, 14 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Blocked for 3 days. --   21:58, 14 September 2011 (UTC)

Ender Pearl Page
Please place a edit block (or whatever you call it) on this page as people are repeatedly posting inaccurate information that I and many others have confirmed false. 18:57, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

Major Article Overhaul
I accidentally posted my issue (Major article cleanup) in the discussion board here http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Minecraft_Wiki_talk:Admin_noticeboard Please disregard it there and please regard it here. Thank you.

User has made 4 vandalism edits to 4 different pages (see contribs). 04:28, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

The abuse filter seems to have banned him and Zkyo for no reason that I can find. 13:51, 21 September 2011 (UTC)


 * They were banned because when undoing an edit on, they re-added a banned word already in the page before the abuse log was set up, and thus it was set off. – (&#124;) at 14:10, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

I see, has it been fixed? 19:38, 21 September 2011 (UTC)
 * The banned word has been removed and the users unblocked. -- 20:12, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

Violating video policy. -- 21:49, 22 September 2011 (UTC)
 * He's back - -- 15:19, 23 September 2011 (UTC)

Vandalism: While his first edits look like contribution attempt later edits show that he doesn't want to improve the wiki. For example, or  are clearly no improvements. -- 09:09, 26 September 2011 (UTC)

Link fix required on wiki rule page
