Minecraft Wiki:Admin noticeboard

__NEWSECTIONLINK__ 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 (using four tildes:  ) when posting an issue.

Before posting an issue here, please consider the following:
 * This page is for reporting wiki issues. Please post discussions on the talk page.
 * 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 reason for deletion request 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 comment instead.
 * Mediation requests between users should only be made if a resolution could not be reached between users.
 * For issues regarding the use of this wiki, please see our help center.

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. If a user must be reported here, please use user, preferably as the topic subject/headline.

While the page still loads normally, it is impossible to edit and displays the error message once again.

Entity list box
I noticed that on some pages that it shows the Wither Jockey in the unused mob category, but in others it isn't, and for some pages the Red Dragon and Fish links have icons (i.e. Creeper link's is a Creeper's face) but no other page does

My username
Is it possible to change the first letter of my username to lowercase? If not can you set it to RCMaehl. It's my name, I'd rather it be either, preferably, all lowercase or correctly capitalized.

Thanks Rcmaehl 18:24, 22 June 2013 (UTC)


 * Only bureaucrats and Curse staff are able to change usernames; you may have to contact one of them directly as they haven't been particularly active lately. -- Orthotope talk 20:52, 22 June 2013 (UTC)

Servidores españoles de Minecraft
If you look here you can see that for the last few hours I've been in battle with someone who thinks they can replace all the servers on the Spanish server list with their own as well as use a banner against regulation. The user is Ander2300. He also used offensive langange in my Spanish userpage Rcmaehl.es viewable in the userpage history log. Please take administrative actions as soon as possible.

Thanks Rcmaehl 18:30, 22 June 2013 (UTC)


 * All the language wikis are administered separately; the admins here generally don't have elevated privileges elsewhere. The Spanish wiki should have an admin noticeboard of its own. -- Orthotope talk 20:52, 22 June 2013 (UTC)

Allow me to edit legendcraft
Hello! A friend of mine created a page here for my custom minecraft classic software. However, he has gone inactive and I am unable to fully edit the page to LegendCraft.

Trying to add my client mod ( Minecapes.net ) to the client mod list @ /Mods/Aesthetic

, Anvil page
He has repeatedly re-added large paragraph with header, and image, about the Dinnerbone easter-egg, even after I added a note about the effect under trivia, and reverted his previous edit with a comment to that effect. Looking at his contributions, it seems that all his edits are about that easter egg. --Mental Mouse 19:42, 1 July 2013 (UTC)


 * He's a new editor, so it's possible he doesn't realize someone is reverting his edits. Assume good faith and talk to him first. If after that he still persists, then you can request a block. — Hower64 01:53, 2 July 2013 (UTC)


 * Oh, I don't assume that a report will produce a block. It does put their behavior on record, and having an admin back up the reversion (as Orthotope did) or scold them (as in other cases), has more authority.  I note that Orthotope's reversion seems to have stuck so far.  But yeah, I probably should have gone to their talk page first.  (ETA:  On the other hand, he did know enough to call it an easter egg, which makes me think he'd been reading the wiki for a while).  --Mental Mouse 10:07, 2 July 2013 (UTC)

 * Internet explorer. However, it doesn't always happen.  Oh, and my encoding is on UTF-8.  My geuss is that someone messed up on a advertisement.

 * Since it's happening on several unrelated websites, it's probably an issue with your computer. Try running scans for viruses and other malware, see if that turns up anything. -- Orthotope talk 01:47, 13 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Haven't done that yet. However, I remember reading a post on the forums about someone else getting that happening.
