Directors

 * Moved from User talk:Majr by NickTheRed37 at 13:38, 1 March 2015 (UTC).

This is the topic to inform of changing the MCW:Directors page and adding/removing director rights. Please don’t take this as a duplicate of Former admins and MCW:Directors above, because this topic allows to inform of that in a much more organized manner.

Minecraft Forums interwiki
Since the Minecraft forums changed their design, their links also changed, and while old style links are still compatible, it is impossible to locate the old style links from the new forum design. As such, two of the old Minecraft Forum interwikis (mcf and mcftopic) are obsolete. The news links appear unchanged.

The new url consists of first  (note the addition of the "s"), then base on the type it contains the following:
 * Sub-forums use a specific combination of letters and dashes
 * Topics use any combination of letters and dashes followed by a slash, then the topic ID

A solution would be changing  to   and   to http://www.minecraftforum.net/forums/topic/$1, though this would break previous links. The only other solution would be adding one or two new interwiki links.

– KnightMiner  · (t) 01:00, 3 March 2015 (UTC)


 * So, are the minecraft forum interwikis going to be updated, or can new interwikis be added with the new forum urls? (to prevent from breaking old interwiki links) – KnightMiner  · (t) 01:36, 20 April 2015 (UTC)


 * I don't see a satisfactory solution. Having to make mcf2: and mcf2topic: links would suck, and since edit summaries can't be edited, we can't ever change the existing links without breakage. –Majr ᐸ Talk Contribs 12:42, 20 April 2015 (UTC)


 * One option would be calling the new interwikis "forum" and "forumtopic", and considering the MCF interwiki links deprecated. Since this is the Minecraft Wiki makes the Minecraft part somewhat implied, and they are essentially the forums of this wiki (as opposed to the gamepedia forums, which could be listed as "gpforum" if needed later, similar to the difference between "help" and "gphelp".) – KnightMiner  · (t) 15:54, 20 April 2015 (UTC)


 * Alright. It's a bit longer than I'd like, but it's better than breaking all the edit summaries. I'm wondering if there is a need for . It would only save one character over doing  . –Majr ᐸ Talk Contribs 04:48, 25 April 2015 (UTC)


 * Actually, probably not. Really the only reason to use it would be because we had a forum topic interwiki before, but sunce the urls are the same and the length is just one character, I would be fine just having the  one. – KnightMiner  · (t) 15:09, 25 April 2015 (UTC)

 * Hello there. Unfortunately, that username is taken by another Curse user somewhere. I'm guessing that this issue is leftover from the migration.

Site notice about new guidelines
Recently, the talk page guidelines were added and some major changes were made to the wiki rules and the style guide. Can we add a site notice alerting users to the changes for a bit, since otherwise the changes may go unnoticed to those who do not watch the community portal (especially in the case of the talk page guidelines, which mostly are new or previously unstated rules on a new article). It may be relevant to link the discussions involved, which are mainly MCT:Community portal and MCT:Community portal – KnightMiner  · (t) 02:41, 15 March 2015 (UTC)

Triggering abuse filter randomly
A couple recent edits by me have triggered an abuse filter rule called "Global AF - New spam filter", is this from here or the curse team? In either case, there was no spam, it seems to trigger on edits related to adding t – KnightMiner  · (t) 20:04, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Or its related to  or   tags. – KnightMiner  · (t) 20:12, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
 * That is our global spam filter. It should only warn you and not actually prevent you from doing anything. — Game widow (talk) 20:24, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Yeah, it is only warning me and I can still save the edit, but its a bit of an annoyance since I'm not spamming. – KnightMiner  · (t) 20:32, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Our expert will have a look at it and try to find a way to avoid those false positives. If you can pinpoint some text that definitely gets caught, that would help. — Game widow (talk) 20:45, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
 * I can't say for certain without being able to see the global filters, but I'm guessing the problem is a  clause; they're very prone to overmatching and false positives, since they ignore punctuation and whitespace and don't try to match word boundaries. For example, one of our filters used to contain the rule , which was triggered by the wikitext "/* Trivia */ grammar fixes".   tends to be safer in most cases.
 * The text "unless the" triggers the global filter for some reason, if that helps. -- Orthotopetalk 23:18, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Its definitely the tags. I've been getting these as well for a past few edits of mine with those included. None of my edits had the text "unless the" included. BDJP (t 00:31, 18 March 2015 (UTC)
 * OK, thanks :) every little bit helps — Game widow (talk) 01:08, 18 March 2015 (UTC)
 * The text "User:Falkirksnh" seems to match the filter sometimes, which would likely be inconvenient for that user – KnightMiner  · (t) 03:28, 18 March 2015 (UTC)
 * I had a problem with this too ([ trying to add an ambox to my user page on Russian wiki] triggered the filter). — NickTheRed37 t/c (f.k.a. Naista2002) 06:06, 18 March 2015 (UTC)


 * The new deploy for the AbuseFilter that's hitting this should be out soon. I am majorly sorry for the issues that it's caused, and will keep an eye on this wiki's abuse log to make sure it doesn't hit any more valid edits. 14:12, 18 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Also, just to clear it up for future issues. It's not caused by tags, or uses any norm/ccnorm, or the likes. It is simply a BIG regex system for matching the majority of the spam articles. This is why it sometimes matches the text used by normal people. It is constantly being reviewed and re-tested. :) 14:54, 18 March 2015 (UTC)

Constantly adding trees created by the user or another user to the Tree article. BDJP (t 14:40, 18 March 2015 (UTC)

Fullurl and automatic plain links
Currently, the parser "full url" starts links with  instead of , causing it not to get detected by the automatic plain link styling from MediaWiki:Common.css. Can the css be changed to also define  as plain? – KnightMiner  · (t) 03:38, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
 * This has been added, great suggestion! 00:44, 21 March 2015 (UTC)


 * To answer your query about the signature, it seems interwiki transcusion is now transcluding nothing, and the signature field now automatically adds "SUBST:" to templates, combine the two and you get blank text where the sig belongs (might be a good idea to use a standard sig, as both interwiki transclusion and transclusion in signatures are now being advised against in the software, rather than just by userbase. The former might be fixed by setting a variable in the PHP though). – KnightMiner  · (t) 01:45, 21 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Actually, my signature is a NOSUBST setup, so it literally puts the inter-wiki link :? Ehh I'll look into it eventually.  11:49, 21 March 2015 (UTC)

Exemption of a few rules for Runecraft Mod
Hi, I would like to request the exemption for the rules about having server IP addresses on pages and the one about videos for all the pages of Mods/Runecraft. I request the videos because they have tutorial information on the mod's runes.

That page has already a few IP adresses and also alot of videos if this request is denied I will remove those links.

--Amuxix (talk) 05:59, 27 March 2015 (UTC)


 * You already have permission to add videos as you feel are needed for mod articles, see Minecraft Wiki:Wiki rules/Video policy (linked from rule #8).
 * As for the IPs, while I cannot give you permission, I can advise the administrators that I think the usage on the article seems like a decent usage of server IPs, as this is a server side mod. – KnightMiner  · (t) 14:30, 27 March 2015 (UTC)

Invoking personal rules on user talk pages. Some notable examples include:

 * Believeing that deleting a talk page message is equal to edit-warring on an article
 * That edit also made a personal attack on my condition (Autism a.k.a Asperger's syndrome) which is a violation of Rule #3.

 * Believeing that certain things people post in their own user talk pages should belong on a forum
 * Believeing that deleting talk page comments is against the rules

 * KnighMiner’s user page rules aren't official, so, you can't say that that is not against the official rules, that do not exist. dand0 (talk) 06:29, 1 April 2015 (UTC)


 * Most of the rules stated there are already in place, though not stated anywhere (from past discussions asking "Is this allowed?", though you may correct me if I'm wrong about any of the specific rules), the whole point of the discussion is to state those rules somewhere, and allow a spot for new rules. In any case though, the specific page is not an official guideline at this time, and users wishing to make them official, suggest new rules, changes to previous rules on the guide should discuss it over there.
 * Also, it is likely that NickTheRed was simply pointing out a relevant discussion to add the rules, rather than stating those rules should be followed. – KnightMiner  · (t) 18:56, 1 April 2015 (UTC)


 * LauraFi's example is from half a year ago and I believe Naista2002/NickTheRed37 has stopped the behavior discussed there (no?). I don't think the rules actually state that posting misinterpretations of the rules is against the rules, but it certainly should be discouraged (ideally by correcting the misinterpretation in a follow-up post, not by deleting it). An ad hominem attack is certainly against the rules and admin action would be justified.


 * NickTheRed37, I would encourage you not to try to correct other people's behavior in their userspace unless it's an actual rules violation (not simply differing from guidelines). Other people's userspace is theirs and they should be free to break any guideline that doesn't actually break wiki rules. &mdash;munin &middot; Grid_Book_and_Quill.png Grid_Stone_Pickaxe.png &middot; 19:17, 1 April 2015 (UTC)

 * The spam filter applies to all namespaces; there's no way to make an exemption for user pages. (Most spammers use their user pages, so we probably wouldn't want to even if it was possible.) If it's added, you may be unable to edit your own user page – trying to save a page containing a blacklisted URL can trigger the filter, even if the URL was there before. -- Orthotopetalk 04:32, 3 April 2015 (UTC)

For some reason, I am experiencing a strange problem where the only page that I (Goandgoo) can access is the Recent changes page. I believe this is due to my css hiding of ads/elements on the site.

 * Protected, doesn't seem like it will need to be changed very often. -- Orthotopetalk 20:31, 15 May 2015 (UTC)

Move over redirect with history
The page Liquids needs to be moved to Liquid to comply with the style guide, but Liquid has some history preventing that from happening. – KnightMiner  · (t) 04:40, 19 May 2015 (UTC)


 * Done. -- Orthotopetalk 04:47, 19 May 2015 (UTC)

Filters Not Allowing Me to Create a New Section
I tried to create a new section on a page but I was blocked by a filter saying I was trying to delete a section. –Preceding unsigned comment was added by 72.213.206.10 (talk) at 21:19, 22 May 2015 (UTC). Please sign your posts with

Filters not allowing me to edit my user page
I was adding some userboxes and an automatin filter stopped me from that.

I think that editing your user page should be normal and allowed, even for new users! --Susko3 (talk) 14:53, 25 May 2015 (UTC)


 * If any of the userboxes contained external links, that would cause the issue, so if you don't want to wait to create the page, try removing any user boxes with external links until you are autoconfirmed.
 * I think the reason external links are blocked on userpages is to reduce new user spammers from creating userpages flooded with virus links and advertisements. – KnightMiner  · (t) 15:51, 25 May 2015 (UTC)

Login problems
When I login I only see a white page. The wiki does not load. but the wiki works fine when I am not logged in. I am unsure what is causing this. -- 007a83 Talk –Preceding undated comment was added at 15:23, 25 May 2015 (UTC). Please sign your posts with
 * I Think the problem us related to my custom hydra.css and custom common.css. I have backed up the content. If an admin could please delete the content on both pages, Thank you. -- 007a83 Talk 15:34, 25 May 2015 (UTC)


 * Your common css is hiding the class ".show-ads", which is now used in the main body element. Removing that from the list should fix it, so if you know a bit about your browser's styles setting you can add  there to override your personal css while you fix it, otherwise and admin can fix that for you. (see also  above). – KnightMiner  · (t) 15:47, 25 May 2015 (UTC)


 * Yes, Please have an admin remove ".show-ads" from my common.css. Thank you.-- 007a83 Talk 15:50, 25 May 2015 (UTC)


 * Should be fixed. — Orthotopetalk 16:49, 25 May 2015 (UTC)
