Suggestion for Overwatch AI
Two things, both related to LoadPage:
 * Adding the tag to any loaded pages which lack it.
 * Adjusting the file paths to follow moved master or sub-pages, including changes of path.

The first is more significant -- the category is non-obvious to random editors, and easy to forget when making a subpage. The second is a convenience, especially since a bunch of master pages have recently been renamed, and more will be moved soon. Could this please be added to OWAI's standard "to do" list?-- 21:02, 26 April 2013 (UTC)


 * How would I (automatically) get a list of pages which are loaded with loadPage? – ᐸ  15:40, 27 April 2013 (UTC)
 * By looking for loadPage calls, which is why this would need the AI. I'm pretty sure the category is meant to produce that "automatic list of pages" -- the problem is, that depends on the writers, and consider that I only found out about the category by watching Munin295. -- 15:54, 27 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Looks like I can use the HTML scraper to get the links, still need to go through each page that transcludes the template manually though. – ᐸ  00:28, 28 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Oh, right, you can use to find the pages that use LoadPage... hmm, that's a rather small list, actually.  But anyway, it sounds like you're saying the AI can add the category, but can't handle snapping the links past redirected pages.  Is that right?   -- 01:33, 28 April 2013 (UTC)


 * The closest you could really do is use, and somehow get that list into the find and replace, then just go through and try to find links that need replacing. – ᐸ   05:26, 28 April 2013 (UTC)
 * So it can't just scan the pages from LoadPage's WhatLinksHere, pick out the LoadPage paths, and check whether those pages are redirections? Oh well....  As I said, the category thing is what needs the AI more, as that will get worse the more new editors start in with schematics.  For the links, I guess I'll just wait until the next round of moves, then fix the paths. -- 14:08, 28 April 2013 (UTC)


 * For the images, don't bother with moving anything until Curse updates the wiki and we (supposedly) will have our own database separate from the Dutch and German wikis. The amount of coordination needed, as well as working around this by manually uploading a duplicate at a new name, is not worth the end result at this time.  21:47, 1 May 2013 (UTC)
 * I think you're already in on it, but just for the record, LoadBox targets will presumably need the category too. -- 22:59, 11 May 2013 (UTC)

Patrolling pages that have been moved without a redirect
Since I've started lurking the newpages list, it has annoyed me to no end that I couldn't mark a moved page as patrolled and it just sits there highlighted in the list. Earlier this week, I randomly decided to try putting the rcid in the url of the "deleted" page into the url of the moved page and I got the patrol link in the new page, which when clicked, marked the original page as patrolled. I was actually surprised and then went through the whole first page and cleared the highlights. MediaWiki is weird. Anyways, would it be possible to have a script that appends the link to the new page in the deleted message with the rcid of the deleted page? Better yet, would it be possible to force the patrol link onto the deleted page? 21:01, 1 May 2013 (UTC)


 * Well I'll need an unpatrolled moved page to test with, so don't patrol the next one you see.
 * Assuming there is no way to know the page has been deleted beforehand, it'll require an API request to get the token so a patrol link can be made. The other way would be to redirect it to the new page name with the id in the url so you can use that link. – ᐸ  07:16, 2 May 2013 (UTC)


 * Alright I've added a script to the sysop js. You should see that the link to the new page in the log has an rcid on it now. – ᐸ  01:15, 4 May 2013 (UTC)

javascript and wiki template
Is it possible for javascript to use a wiki template that contains a #switch function? —  ZH Admin  21:00, 11 May 2013 (UTC)


 * I don't really know what you mean... If you mean "use" as in: "can JavaScript parse a wiki template?" Then no, not at all. JavaScript has no knowledge of mediawiki markup. You could port mediawiki's parser from PHP to JavaScript, but that would probably take months considering the complexity and hacked-togetherness of it. – ᐸ  21:36, 16 May 2013 (UTC)


 * Ah, okay. I was planning to have the JavaScript that does the Grid animations to use the template for the image link, guess that won't work.

Crazy nav template idea
I know we're on the cusp of converting everything to use LoadBox, but I just had an interesting idea that involves the use of the MediaWiki system messages. Thinking about the msgbox I tinkered with for talk pages, its usage isn't on actual pages. If I were to transclude a template onto a system message (which is possible, I reviewed talknotice in there, but thought it wasn't a good idea to have a publicly editable template in a system message) the template will display, but no massive cache updates occur if it were edited, since system messages don't load that way. If some css or js trickery were used to shift a div or something in a system message from the top to the bottom of a page, and some type of #switch (or upcoming lua function) were used to display a specific nav template based on the page, would it be possible to display the nav templates using the article space system message? This way, we can have the templates transcluded in the system message instead of the page and have them editable without the cache update problems. If we used the #switch function, we would probably have to have some kind of special support template like the position subpages of the sprite templates where the code would be formatted in a long list of blocks/items/etc and have the #switch compare it to the pagename magic word or something. The only downside I can think of is if #switch has limits or if using a massive list of block/item/etc names in a #switch has performance issues. Please excuse me if this is actually crazy. 06:13, 15 May 2013 (UTC)


 * I don't think that will work. As far as I know, even the simple parser functions and templates we already use in system messages is a terrible thing we shouldn't be doing. <span class="nowrap">– ᐸ <small style="display:inline-block;line-height:1em;vertical-align:-0.4em"> 21:26, 16 May 2013 (UTC)

Templates and snapshots
With your latest edit of ItemSprite, the charcoal image has been changed to that used in the 1.6 snapshots. Let me quote a section of the :


 * These guidelines also apply for new snapshot releases. Snapshot changes should not be included into the main sections until the full update is released. These new changes should be in a Future section to prevent current users of the full release from confusing new features with the current ones. After the full update is released, then the previous info can be deleted and previous differences moved into the History section. The snapshot features/changes can then be incorporated into the main sections.

I think we should handle snapshot changes in templates similarly: add them to the templates to allow documentation of the upcoming changes, but not let them get mixed up with the latest version of Minecraft. People are confused enough about snapshots and releases, we don't need to add to that confusion by having a mix of latest-release and latest-snapshot in the templates.

I'd like to hear your opinion about this. There has to be a better approach to this than what I did on ItemSprite. — 01:29, 28 May 2013 (UTC)


 * The issue with the sprite templates is if we have that id and people start using it, when the update comes out we either have to find all usage of the id and change them, or keep the extra name in there; which means we're going to end up with a bunch of redundant ids. <span class="nowrap">– ᐸ <small style="display:inline-block;line-height:1em;vertical-align:-0.4em"> 01:54, 28 May 2013 (UTC)


 * A possible solution would be to add an additional parameter to the template that is used for upcoming sprites. Using this parameter would add a category to the article in addition to using the new textures. — 02:46, 28 May 2013 (UTC)


 * That could work, but it would need to be automatic based on the name. You can't rely on people adding the extra parameter. <span class="nowrap">– ᐸ <small style="display:inline-block;line-height:1em;vertical-align:-0.4em"> 02:56, 28 May 2013 (UTC)

Moving Pages/Files
I thought that Autoconfirmed users had the perms to move pages and files. But this is what I receive.

 * Moving pages is different than moving files. Pages are fine and autoconfirmed users can move pages, but files can only be moved by an admin. Moving files at this time is not a good idea anyways due to our shared database with the Dutch and German wikis. We have enough issues as it is with them messing with files without us causing issues too.

That not very useful as the possible combinations of hardware/software are massive, not even taking into account faults or modifications like overclocking. At best, someone might be able to find one or two configurations similar to their own, whose results may be wildly inaccurate. So that limits the usefulness of this page to developers wanting to see trends in performance change across versions, and track down specific hardware that is getting really bad results. Since Mojang already have the snoop data thing, which I wouldn't be surprised included things like performance, it's not actually useful to anyone.
 * For it to be useful to users, it would need general information on the kind of hardware that is verified as capable of running Minecraft, and how well. A large table of independent reports with specific hardware configurations isn't that. – 06:17, 7 June 2013 (UTC)

Template:OS
Hi, I see you want my edits reverted. Here are a few things.

First, I am not some random newcomer; I've worked with wikis for 5 years now. One thing I've learned is that these little icons should not be placed like so, because "alt" is not going to help with mobile users and not many PC users use it. Not just that, alt ruins the formatting and makes the page look like "Android iOS Xbox 360", etc. Also, just placing images makes the images seem out-of-scale. I've viewed all the pages that use the OS template and they are just fine... I don't see an issue related to "not enough space". I have reverted your undo again. Please talk to me on my talk page before anything else. Thanks.

-- 14:55, 8 June 2013 (UTC)


 * No one has reported an issue with the icons for the years that template has existed. We could leave it and try it, but the text is just redundant. Alt text is displayed when images aren't, mobiles should support that since it's been a feature of the web since forever. – 15:17, 8 June 2013 (UTC)
 * True, but on Wikipedia I've always seen them put text, and along with the rest of the internet. It just looks better. Without the text the images are out of proportion. Let's give it a try, and if nobody else reverts it in 30 days, we'll keep it as such. -- undefined 15:24, 8 June 2013 (UTC)


 * This isn't Wikipedia; we don't have to do things the same way as them. Having both images and text is cramped and looks bad on pages such as . -- undefined 18:51, 8 June 2013 (UTC)

 * You're kidding right? Adding personal styling to everyone's css... jeez – 13:13, 14 June 2013 (UTC)


 * It's not "personal styling"; it just fixes the problem of the software not recognizing names with lowercased first letters. I've seen another wiki do it (not that that makes it acceptable, I'm just showing you that the notion is not as ridiculous as you think). If you're adamant about it then that's fine with me, I was only trying to help you. — 13:49, 14 June 2013 (UTC)


 * It is personal styling. It only affects me. And as soon as you start adding site-wide personal styles, then you're opening the floodgates for everyone else to start asking for their own personal styling. It's also a pretty stuck up thing to do, as if you're more important. – 13:56, 14 June 2013 (UTC)


 * ...Except that this personal styling only fixes a problem in the software, it doesn't make your name special in any way. I don't see how anybody could look at a styling that lowercases the first letter in your name because of the software not recognizing it and start asking for their name to be in green or something. What could actually happen is people could start asking for their names to be lowercased as well. I see how that could cause a problem if too many people starting asking, which I guess is enough reason not to do it. — 12:14, 16 June 2013 (UTC)


 * And it would only be fixing that "software problem" for my name, the very definition of making it special... – 13:01, 16 June 2013 (UTC)

I never said that only you would be allowed. I thought it was obvious that other people would be allowed as well. — 13:15, 16 June 2013 (UTC)


 * That's irrelevant. It has to be done on a case-by-case basis, it's not just a general fix that will apply to everyone. So even when you let other people have their names added, they're still going to be a special group of people. – 13:18, 16 June 2013 (UTC)


 * Okay, but why does that matter? My point still stands; people would only start ask for their name to be added to the list, nothing else. — 13:47, 16 June 2013 (UTC)


 * It's not fair for everyone. What about someone that wants underscores in their name, for instance? Additionally, everyone has to download this extra styling and it's another thing that we would have to maintain. – 14:04, 16 June 2013 (UTC)

I hold administrators to a higher moral standard
I created a template called helpme. I know very well that its inefficient but it's how they do it on Wikipedia and its simple. If you had done any looking you would have realized that it was simply a mirror of something I had tested in my userspace. I include it in my Welcome templates so I can give help faster to new users.

So on to why I am complaining, you made a cleanup edit. Normally a user with a sense of respect for other lables their cleanup 'Cleaned template code' and such. You said;

(What's with this space wasting msgbox that doesn't match the rest of the msgboxes, and has a bunch of extra /div tags? Either way, I doubt this will be used. Categories are a terrible way to notify people of things needing attention.).

The messed code was to make it harder to use and vandalize and the extra div tags were to close any test the users had made on their talk page. I am not stupid, I consider myself quite competent. One thing I don't tolerate is edit summary fights. If you have a problem say it to my face. I hold administrators in general to a higher moral standard. I won't watch this page because I don't have the time and to be honest I couldn't care less. If you have something to say tell me on my talk. <font style="white-space:nowrap;text-shadow:#08088A 0.4em 0.4em 1.7em,#58ACFA -0.1em -0.1em 1.5em;color:#2E64FE"> 21:28, 22 June 2013 (UTC)


 * "How they do it on Wikipedia" is not a valid excuse to do something. You can have templates in your user space look however you want, but you copied the template to the template space, so it should match the style of other templates, not have a oversized image and different style "because Wikipedia."
 * Cleaned template code isn't a good summary. It doesn't explain why its being changed at all.
 * Harder to use and vandalize? Extra div tags to close tests? Those are terrible excuses and you said just before that you did it because it was simple. Make up your mind.
 * You couldn't care less, yet you clearly care enough to make a comment here. From what I've seen of your edits and especially your talk page edits, you seem very full of yourself, and quite "snobby" to other people. – 22:56, 22 June 2013 (UTC)


 * I love being respectful or as you put it snobby but I would never make a personal attack against another user through an edit summary. I was browsing around and found even more of your nasty edit summaries. Cleaned template code is a far better summary than not talking about any changes and just say things like What is this doing here?. You also called my excuses terrible, why exactly is this? Also to conclude your final argument was an unrelated attack regarding my editing attitude on the wiki as a whole and not this incident. This clearly shows how incivil some of the admins are. I really couldn't care less about your actions but I feel bound to correctly alert all users of their malefactions and other incivil behaviour. As to my badly pharased statement "because they do it on Wikipedia" I ammend it to "becuase this process is done on systems with many many times the amount of users. These systems retain new users by providing help services like this one." Your administration could learn a lot about being civil and helpful. Well actually not all of them, mostly you :) Have a nice day and thanks for your time. <font style="white-space:nowrap;text-shadow:#08088A 0.4em 0.4em 1.7em,#58ACFA -0.1em -0.1em 1.5em;color:#2E64FE"> 15:15, 23 June 2013 (UTC)


 * Harder to use was my badly made attempt to prevent you admins from altering it like you did. Well it sto late for that. The extra div tags are incredibly useful. It was a good gesture to clean it up though. <font style="white-space:nowrap;text-shadow:#08088A 0.4em 0.4em 1.7em,#58ACFA -0.1em -0.1em 1.5em;color:#2E64FE"> 15:17, 23 June 2013 (UTC)


 * You have a strange definition of respectful. How is that a better summary? It doesn't say why it should be cleaned. Making a template more difficult to use is a bad excuse because it doesn't make sense, the purpose of templates it to make things easier and quicker. Making it harder to vandalise? That's a bad excuse because you can make the code as lengthy or convoluted as you like, and it'll be just as easy to blank it or other such vandalism. The extra closing div tags? Why do you expect people to have random unclosed div tags at the top of their page before any message box templates? And why div? They could just as easily have unclosed tables or spans or any other thing. Regardless, it's not a message box template's job to cleanup after people and it's more likely to break things than fix them. That's assuming it even does anything in the first place. HTMLTidy probably just deletes them.
 * If you want to get along with people, just tell them outright what the issue is and don't act all condescending with your messages, otherwise that's all you're going to get in return.
 * Also I thought you didn't have time to watch this page? – 04:20, 24 June 2013 (UTC)


 * Oh hahaha I can watch whatever I want. I didn't have the time to add it to my Watchlist. I don't have a strange definition of respectful. I use the standard definition as provided in the Oxford English Dictionary. I commend you for backing up your points with good evidence. It was really my fault for making the template messed up but you should have said that you cleaned up the div tags or something instead of insulting it. Trust me I hold civility and quality of wiki and the information contained in it above "getting along" with others. Please keep this in mind in future and I will remember that you massacre new templates.

 * This over exaggeration and critical levels of sarcasm are exactly the kind of thing I'm talking about. Are you really this oblivious to your own attitude? – 22:07, 24 June 2013 (UTC)


 * I try to never be sarcastic on wikis it only hurts the meaning of my posts. I was dead serious about the above. Funny that you found it sarcastic though. The last bit is just a thing civil people do if you were wondering. As for over exaggeration that is your POV. Of course I am oblivious to your interpretation of my attitude, that's why you shared it isn't it? I am sad to find that you find me sarcastic it was never my intention. I also don't understand "exactly the kind of thing I'm talking about." I though I was disscussing your edit on my template. Nevertheless I will continue to do what I was doing and keep in mind to always obsicifute my templates as they are mine and I like them that way. <font style="white-space:nowrap;text-shadow:#08088A 0.4em 0.4em 1.7em,#58ACFA -0.1em -0.1em 1.5em;color:#2E64FE">  22:24, 24 June 2013 (UTC)

Problem with Animate on french minecraftwiki
Hi Ultradude!

I have a problem with the template on the French minecraftwiki and I know that you have good knowledge : The images don't scroll ; the template does not work. Indeed, I think the problem is in (more precisely "Frame loader"). Some things should be translated into French? Can you fix it?

Thank you in advance. 07:16, 5 July 2013 (UTC)


 * It would have been easier to click "add topic" at the top. <span class=nowrap> — undefined undefined 07:18, 5 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Yes, I'm sorry. I didn't see the button. ^^ 07:21, 5 July 2013 (UTC)
 * I think Frame Loader has nothing to do with it, in fact. 07:28, 5 July 2013 (UTC)
 * I want to say also that links to the Mojang issue tracker does not work (via the "" template). 07:40, 5 July 2013 (UTC)


 * The error console states that window.mcw is undefined, which means you're missing the part of which defines it.
 * You're missing the interwiki links for the bug trackers.
 * Also, link to the pages so I don't have to go and hunt them down. – 08:03, 5 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the interwiki links. For the animate template, I have to set window.mcw to "defined"? But how? 08:58, 5 July 2013 (UTC)


 * Copy the stuff in common.js. – 09:01, 5 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Sorry to disturb you again, but I don't understand. What's the stuff? Thank you for everything 09:33, 5 July 2013 (UTC)


 * The parts at the top define mcw. Or just copy the whole file.
 * I plan to move any interface type things to the top of the file, so all translation go there, so when that is done you should be able to just copy the whole file each time, except for the top to preserve translations. – 09:44, 5 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Ok, thank you very much. It works! 10:04, 5 July 2013 (UTC)

TOCleft
Thanks for correcting the floating TOC template that I had added. I see now that you already have a similar template here which achieves the same thing.

File:BlockCSS Positions.png
Hi there,

I was making some changes to the templates on the Dutch wiki and I uploaded this file to the dutch wiki in 120px instead of what it was. By doing that I think I might have changed the english file too cause our files are shared in a very weird way.

The english file is really blurry at the moment:

Sorry for my bad english and I hope you can help me.

 * Ok :), can you tell me how this all works, because we cannot use files from other wikis but we can mess files from other wikis up by uploading a file with the same name.

I'm not sure about combining the &lt;span/> and &lt;abbr/> tags in Data value. Prior to this, the colons weren't in the &lt;abbr/> tags, and they shouldn't be, since they aren't part of the abbreviations. <span style="white-space:nowrap">「」· 03:36, 21 July 2013 (UTC)

Grid limitation?
There seems to be some limitation on the Grid animations; if you look at the history of, adding carpets made it unable to locate images beyond the first, for every crafting grid on the page. Removing one of the wool colors fixed it for now, but I don't understand why. Any chance you can look into this and figure out what goes wrong? -- undefined 02:55, 29 July 2013 (UTC)


 * The multi-API request thing is broken and I never figured out why, I think it's because both of the redirect requests happen before any of the file url requests somehow. Any page that has more than 50 different animated images to load will only load the set of images in the last request (in the case of crafting, it has 51. Only Gold Block gets loaded as its the only one left in the last request), but no page hit that limit before so I didn't spend much time on it. <span class=nowrap>– – 07:52, 29 July 2013 (UTC)


 * I fixed it. I just noticed I didn't have a closure. <span class=nowrap>– – 03:27, 8 August 2013 (UTC)

Initial bot run for the HESI Project.
I'd like to request a bot run for setting up the Project. As you may have seen, I have created some hidden categories for this project, which will help keep track of which pages have been processed for Edition-specific information. The initial bot run is intended to add these categories to every, , and page as follows... As the members of the HESI Project process each page, we will manually change the relevant category from "Unchecked" to "Checked". This is not an urgent bot run, and can be timed to suit, whenever. <font color="#703931">&mdash; 22:39, 29 July 2013 (UTC)

 * Hmm, interesting. So a Mob is a type of Entity. I see that isn't linked from the main page or from the sidebar like  is. Perhaps that is something that should be considered. I can't seem to move pages on this wiki (I'm not asking for a promotion), so any chance you could do the honours for me? I can tidy up afterwards, if you could just move  to, and move  to . No point adding a Move tag, as you're already here discussing this. Thanks for that. <font color="#703931">&mdash;  08:38, 30 July 2013 (UTC)

 * I see the bot run is happening now. Any chance you could jump onto IRC for a tick (#minecraftwiki)? I'm a little concerned at the low number of pages that seem to be being tagged, compared to what I had expected. Is this a trial run of a smaller subset? Have you included the sub-categories? Perhaps we could have a quick chat about this. Thanks. <font color="#703931">&mdash; 16:53, 30 July 2013 (UTC)

My ip has been blocked on the dutch wiki
Hello,

I've been blocked on the dutch wiki ( same name ) There is no way to connect to someone there, the filter that blocked me said I had to contact that same filter (That wasn't allowed) or go to the 'beheerders' ( admins) page, and that page doesn't exist on the dutch wiki. What to do?
