Hello, can you create Lithuanian language page?
 * Have you looked at this page:  ? — Game widow (talk) 18:14, 8 January 2017 (UTC)

Yes, but I want to separate Lithuanian language page, etc: https://minecraft-ko.gamepedia.com/Minecraft_Wiki; https://minecraft-ru.gamepedia.com/Заглавная_страница; https://minecraft-de.gamepedia.com/Minecraft_Wiki.
 * Then contact Majr and discuss whether or not you've met the criteria — Game widow (talk) 19:05, 8 January 2017 (UTC)

Rights of users groups in Ru-MCW
I found a group of "autopatrol". Given its minor importance, I propose add right to administrators to be eligible for inclusion in this group. in russian: Я обнаружил группу "autopatrol". Учитывая её малую значимость, предлагаю добавить администраторам право на включение в эту группу. — Ivan-r ru.Wiki Admin 16:22, 13 January 2017 (UTC)
 * For now, i can make sure all admins on minecraft-ru are also in autopatrol. I will bring up the issue at our team meeting — Game widow (talk) 16:44, 13 January 2017 (UTC)
 * I double-checked and administrators already have autopatrol as a right. The global group is available to all wikis as many have asked for it, in particular for non-admin but trusted users. If you don't want to use it, you are not obliged — Game widow (talk) 16:50, 13 January 2017 (UTC)
 * You don't understand me. I want to add experienced users in this group (autopatrol). — Ivan-r ru.Wiki Admin 19:08, 13 January 2017 (UTC)
 * OK, just tell me which users and i can add them — Game widow (talk) 19:14, 13 January 2017 (UTC)
 * ru:user:Dand0, ru:user:NickTheRed37, ru:user:BloodCaster and someone else who I failed to remember... — Ivan-r ru.Wiki Admin 20:28, 13 January 2017 (UTC)
 * OK, done. Just let me know when you remember the other user :) — Game widow (talk) 21:25, 13 January 2017 (UTC)
 * ru:user:Alex Great also... — Ivan-r ru.Wiki Admin 12:45, 15 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Done — Game widow (talk) 13:48, 15 January 2017 (UTC)

I hope the offer still stands: ru:user:RDmitriyS, ru:user:Blitz. — Ivan-r ru.Wiki Admin 11:45, 8 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Of course, and done — Game widow (talk) 12:02, 8 August 2017 (UTC)
 * No no no. On RUSSIAN Wiki. Not ENGLISH wiki. — Ivan-r ru.Wiki Admin 12:43, 8 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Oops, it's early — Game widow (talk) 13:14, 8 August 2017 (UTC)

Instead of having Russian admins like Ivan-r suggest assigning the group to various Russian users, I suggest adding the right to assign and resign autopatrol group to administrators on any Gamepedia wiki directly. See also Minecraft Wiki talk:Community portal. The usergroup has minimal profit of usage, and telling a bureaucrat or especially a Curse employee to assign this status to someone is excessive. —  BabylonAS (talk | ru.Wiki Admin) (fka NickTheRed37) 15:24, 8 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Talk to Majr about that, please — Game widow (talk) 15:25, 8 August 2017 (UTC)

Greek Wiki
Need to add a global banner. Need to try to attract new users to the Greek wiki. You will be able to do it? — Ivan-r ru.Wiki Admin 09:39, 24 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Ben (User:Smokie) has said that we cannot do a global (as in throughout Gamepedia) banner, but a banner across all the language versions of Minecraft wiki is fine. Probably Majr is the best person for that. What would you want it to say? I can add a banner on the one other Greek wiki we have (witcher-el) — Game widow (talk) 13:36, 25 January 2017 (UTC)


 * A temporary site notice (1 week?) can be added to the en wiki. The admins on other languages are free to translate and add the site notice too if they think it is beneficial. –Majr ᐸ Talk Contribs 08:20, 26 January 2017 (UTC)


 * Hello. May I know why a Greek wiki has been launched? I don’t remember the Greek-language translation project ever being significant. — NickTheRed37 (issues’ wall) 13:43, 27 January 2017 (UTC)
 * It was discussed with Majr and he agreed. Basically, other languages were not being launched due to unnecessary red tape, this is a pilot initiative to see if it helps at all to launch them sooner — Game widow (talk) 13:55, 27 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Then why exactly Greek language? Why not, say, Czech (the corresponding project has over 400 articles and is probably the most complete one to date)? — NickTheRed37 (issues’ wall) 16:28, 28 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Because a user specifically asked for it and this is the last i'm going to say about it — Game widow (talk) 18:22, 28 January 2017 (UTC)

Global AF - disallow certain words
el:Ειδικό:ΑρχείοΠαρενόχλησης: filter don't right work. — Ivan-r ru.Wiki Admin 14:09, 24 January 2017 (UTC)

el:user:Ff98sha
He copied the English wiki to the Greek wiki. What to do with it? And what to do with the imported pages? I can not translate it all. — Ivan-r ru.Wiki Admin 08:32, 25 January 2017 (UTC)
 * You are not expected to translate it all, it should be the people who wanted this wiki who do that — Game widow (talk) 13:14, 25 January 2017 (UTC)

Global AF - New user adding link at end or in heading
In 7DTD wiki-ru. On page user:Ivan_r/common.css — Ivan-r ru.Wiki Admin 10:44, 25 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Looks like you found a way around it. Basically to avoid spam we require a minimum number of edits on any given wiki before you can start inserting urls — Game widow (talk) 13:30, 25 January 2017 (UTC)

Request for administrator rights on Polish Minecraft Wiki
Hello!

I want to request granting Ivan-r administrator rights on Polish Minecraft Wiki. Right now we do not have any person willing to update important modules, outdated javascript code and css code on our wiki and Ivan-r kindly offered to help us with that. Thank you. piotrex43 (Talk page) MCWikiPL Admin 22:25, 28 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Sure — Game widow (talk) 22:35, 28 January 2017 (UTC)

Achievements problem
For some reason, I am not able to get A whole week, even though I visit for more than seven consecutive days. I even tried logging out every night. Do you know why this is? The BlobsPaper.png 04:52, 30 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Achievements are being worked on, I will pass one this information to the team — Game widow (talk) 13:12, 30 January 2017 (UTC)

About the "patrol" user group in Chinees Minecraft Wiki
Hi, Game widow. Through recent edits, I've found that it's of much necessity to add following permissions to 'Patrol' usergroup of Chinese Minecraft Wiki: blockemail, markbotedits, protect, nuke, bigdelete, abusefilter-log-detail, abusefilter-view, abusefilter-log, abusefilter-private. The former five rights are due to increasing spams, while the latter four are for study purpose. Also, please give this user group a Chinese name "巡查员".Thank you.'''SteveZihang zh.Patroller 15:11, 4 February 2017 (UTC)
 * I will look into this first thing on Monday — Game widow (talk) 15:13, 4 February 2017 (UTC)
 * That group already had, I've added the extra ones — Game widow (talk) 12:56, 6 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Thank you.I think you can give this user group a Chinese name "巡查员",The Chinese name should be display on UserProfile and Special:ListGroupRights.'''SteveZihang zh.Patroller Book and Quill.png 14:37, 6 February 2017 (UTC)
 * I will see what i can do, but i can't promise anything — Game widow (talk) 14:39, 6 February 2017 (UTC)
 * OK.'''SteveZihang zh.Patroller Book and Quill.png 14:40, 6 February 2017 (UTC)

About the GUI of Extensions made by Curse Inc.
The display language of Extensions made by Curse Inc.(Such as Wikipoints, Profile, Achievements) is English,I think it should be translated.There are two ways to translate it. 1.Make .json file(such as i18n/zh-hans.json). 2.Create MediaWiki page.(If we translate it in this way,we may need a usergroup with editinterface premission) I'm Looking forward to your favourable reply. '''SteveZihang zh.Patroller 05:34, 20 February 2017 (UTC)


 * All of these extensions are at least partially (if not fully) translatable. Are there particular messages which are not translatable? –Majr ᐸ Talk Contribs 06:17, 20 February 2017 (UTC)
 * I have been asking for this from day 1. I will log yet another ticket — Game widow (talk) 13:17, 20 February 2017 (UTC)
 * OK.Please add a usergroup with applychangetags, editinterface , changetags premission.The name of this usergroup is "GUI Editior".'''SteveZihang zh.Patroller Book and Quill.png 12:37, 21 February 2017 (UTC)
 * First, that is misspelled and secondly, that would be up to Majr — Game widow (talk) 13:38, 21 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Majr@undefinedWhat's your idea?'''SteveZihang zh.Patroller Book and Quill.png 16:05, 21 February 2017 (UTC)


 * Why would we need another user group to edit the interface? Any admin can do it. If you can trust someone to edit the interface (which includes executing arbitrary scripts for all users), you can trust them to be an admin. –Majr ᐸ Talk Contribs 01:24, 23 February 2017 (UTC)
 * I completely agree — Game widow (talk) 02:15, 23 February 2017 (UTC)

Our administrator don't want to do that,because this is a big project.They don't have time to do that.'''SteveZihang zh.Patroller 05:03, 23 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Craft_Lawrence said,"If you want to do that, then you do that ,but I will not give you administrator premission for that."'''SteveZihang zh.Patroller Book and Quill.png 05:14, 23 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Game widow@undefinedPlease set the timezone to Asia/Shanghai for Chinese Minecraft Wiki.

I think these three lines of code should add to LocalSettings.php.Thank you.'''SteveZihang zh.Patroller 05:36, 23 February 2017 (UTC)
 * $wgLocaltimezone="Asia/Shanghai";
 * putenv("TZ=$wgLocaltimezone");
 * $wgLocalTZoffset=date("Z")/60;
 * I do not have access to the php files and you can set your personal timezone via your preferences. — Game widow (talk) 16:10, 23 February 2017 (UTC)
 * There is another way to let me get applychangetags, editinterface and changetags rights,you can add them to Patrol usergroup.Our bureaucrats allow us to get these rights.'''SteveZihang zh.Patroller Book and Quill.png 05:12, 24 February 2017 (UTC)


 * Editing the interface has nothing to do with patrolling. Tacking on irrelevant rights to an existing group is worse than just creating a new one., the edit interface right is pretty much the most powerful right admins have, if you're willing to trust someone have that right, there's no reason not to trust them with the rest of the admin rights. –Majr ᐸ Talk Contribs 08:15, 26 February 2017 (UTC)
 * So,you can add the group,then I'll go to find him,and let him add me to this group. Game widow@undefinedChinese Minecraft Wiki need a new protect level.Here is the code:

If the code takes effect,There will be a new protect level:Only users with "patrol" right can edit/move the page.Our bureaucrats need this protect level(they won't let me get "editprotected" right).I'm so sorry to trouble you, thank you!'''SteveZihang zh.Patroller 05:27, 27 February 2017 (UTC)
 * $wgRestrictionLevels[] = 'patrol';


 * Like I said, there's no reason to make another group. You should just be made an admin. –Majr ᐸ Talk Contribs 05:59, 27 February 2017 (UTC)
 * They won't let me become an admin.They don't tell me why.Actually,my wikipoints is much more than Craft Lawrence's.'''SteveZihang zh.Patroller Book and Quill.png 10:49, 27 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Can I talk to you in private?'''SteveZihang zh.Patroller Book and Quill.png 10:53, 27 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Maybe the Chinese wiki is well maintained with its current administrators. How many active administrators are there? The BlobsPaper.png 00:05, 28 February 2017 (UTC)
 * There is 1 active administrator, two active patrollers(Ff98sha and me) and 2 active users there.'''SteveZihang zh.Patroller Book and Quill.png 04:57, 28 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Unless the administrator is a burecrate, they can't make you an administrator. However, Curse staff members such as Game widow can. The BlobsPaper.png 14:30, 28 February 2017 (UTC)
 * There are 2 bureaucrats and 4 administrators in Chinese Minecraft Wiki, but only one of them is an active user.'''SteveZihang zh.Patroller Book and Quill.png 14:46, 28 February 2017 (UTC)

I can contact them with chat tools, but they hardly ever edit the wiki.'''SteveZihang zh.Patroller 14:50, 28 February 2017 (UTC)
 * I believe Majr is handling this directly with you, Steve. If not, please do contact him — Game widow (talk) 15:06, 28 February 2017 (UTC)
 * OK.Thanks!'''SteveZihang zh.Patroller Book and Quill.png 15:12, 28 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Majr@undefinedAdministrators don't want to translate the interface.They says they are busy.In fact, I would like to be an administrator,I think I did very much for Chinese Minecraft Wiki, more than some of the administrators.'''SteveZihang zh.Patroller Book and Quill.png 10:37, 1 March 2017 (UTC)


 * I'm just going to give you admin so you can translate. Since the admins on the wiki don't seem to want you to actually be an admin, I would recommend avoiding editing protected pages and blocking users, and just do the translating part. –Majr ᐸ Talk Contribs 07:54, 4 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Roger.But I can block users and delete pages because I'm in patrol user group, and this group has some of anti-spam-right.I'll start translating the interface immediately.Thank you!'''SteveZihang zh.Patroller Book and Quill.png 09:25, 4 March 2017 (UTC)

El-wiki
Need delete greek wiki. This is empty copy of English wiki. The sense in its further existence is not. — Ivan-r ru.Wiki Admin 18:20, 2 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Greek wiki is directly created without the normal procedure of translation project on English wiki. And it is so impolite of you to ban me globally. Game widow@undefined Global #561 was unbanned by me, and I think Ivan-r is no longer fittable to be an admin.-- Ff98sha (talk) 09:21, 3 March 2017 (UTC)
 * If the greek wiki remains dead, it will be removed. Demanding that it be removed will not speed up the process in any way. Having an unused wiki in no way impacts either of you directly. — Game widow (talk) 19:48, 5 March 2017 (UTC)

Edit patrolling
Hello, Game widow.

Can I know why the autopatrol group is ever created? I don’t think the default edit patrolling system is ever used or needed anywhere on Gamepedia. Wikis that need a tool for approving certain revisions (the Polish Minecraft Wiki comes to mind) are using extensions like FlaggedRevs to accomplish this, because it allows some pages only showing a revision that is approved by someone. Default patrolling doesn’t support this. As it is said in Russia, why fence the garden (зачем огород городить)? —  NickTheRed37</b> (talk) 14:37, 1 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Because it is not at the top of the list for our platform team. It is on the list, but there are more important things to get to first — Game widow (talk) 14:48, 1 April 2017 (UTC)
 * I’m not requesting to install FlaggedRevs on all wikis by default, not every of them is big enough to benefit from this. I just want to know why is the autopatrol group present. —  NickTheRed37</b> (talk) 13:57, 2 April 2017 (UTC)
 * The autopatrol group was added because many wikis requested it. If you don't want to use it, you are under no obligation to do so — Game widow (talk) 16:12, 5 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Requested? Under what circumstances? Just “many wikis requested” doesn’t cover everything, requests are made based on circumstances. —  NickTheRed37</b> (talk) 14:57, 7 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Management here felt that sufficiently many wikis wanted this and that is was useful. That is all the reason you need — Game widow (talk) 16:01, 7 April 2017 (UTC)

Russian wiki resource load issues
The Russian wiki is experiencing significant resource load issues. Any HTTP request to the site may timeout after 20 to 30 seconds with CloudFlare error 520. The description provided by Cloudflare is "There is an unknown connection issue between Cloudflare and the origin web server. As a result, the web page can not be displayed."

The error is affecting all types of target pages; when loading an article page, no errors may occur, or an image, a JS file, a stylesheet may fail to load, or the page itself may not load.

This seems to occur for most users.

There have been less major errors as of maybe a week now.

Also I noticed that some resources successfully load with enormous load times (15 seconds or more).

The issue affects all pages (including regular browsing, editing and API requests), but it is most visible on large articles like this one. In case of this article, the best case scenario is that many files will not load and will instead display their names. --AttemptToCallNil (report bug, view backtrace) 13:18, 3 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Is this just today? If so, it is network-wide and being looked into — Game widow (talk) 13:54, 3 August 2017 (UTC)
 * When it happens, if you could try to get https://minecraft-ru.gamepedia.com/cdn-cgi/trace and email the results to me at witcherwiki@gmail.com, that would help — Game widow (talk) 14:16, 3 August 2017 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure what I am supposed to do with that page.
 * I made a copy of the page output several seconds after I got an article (and not a loaded file) to fail with a 520. Should I email that output?
 * Maybe I can use Firefox Developer Tools network analyzer to obtain request information? (Response headers? Error details?) --AttemptToCallNil (report bug, view backtrace) 15:05, 3 August 2017 (UTC)

Ru-wiki broke gadgets
Broke all the gadgets that are associated with the input block of description. Disassembled source code. After your updates have been transferred to the identifier of the specified block to the root. That's how it was:. So it became:. But it should be (from Wikipedia):. Please fix. — Ivan-r ru.Wiki Admin 20:31, 8 August 2017 (UTC)
 * I will add it to my list, but possibly asking Majr would be faster — Game widow (talk) 22:59, 8 August 2017 (UTC)


 * You will have to change your gadgets to not rely on the location of #wpSummary. Don't rely on it being in the new location, as when we one day update to 1.30, the ID will be moved back (as can be seen on Wikipedia), breaking everything again. Or if curse decided to disable the OOUI editform because of the double breaking change it's performing, then it would also move back again. –Majr ᐸ <small style=display:inline-block;line-height:9px;vertical-align:-3px>Talk Contribs 00:26, 10 August 2017 (UTC)


 * We have two gadgets interacting with #wpSummary. I fixed one of them, and the other one is being loaded from Wikipedia and can't be fixed locally. The problem with the gadgets is that they assume #wpSummary is the input field itself, while due to the upgrade the ID now refers to its parent &lt;div&gt;. My fix for the gadget makes it construct the jQuery object for the input field not from '#wpSummary', but from 'input[name="wpSummary"]'. Judging by Ivan-r's screenshots, this should work for 1.30 as well. --AttemptToCallNil (report bug, view backtrace) 07:56, 12 August 2017 (UTC)
 * I would suggest recreating the one you load from wikipedia locally and then trying your fix — Game widow (talk) 10:39, 12 August 2017 (UTC)
 * The script seems to be broken beyond repair at least under this edit form layout. I can't get it to work after several attempts. Looks like the Russian Wikipedia (where the script is loaded from, and on that site it is not a gadget but a user script) uses some other script for this purpose (which does work), but I can't determine its origin.
 * I temporarily disabled the gadget on the Russian wiki. --AttemptToCallNil (report bug, view backtrace) 12:42, 12 August 2017 (UTC)

ru.wiki: Error 502
Appearing frequently on viewing and editing. Appears for multiple users. One project is stalled entirely because several of its pages are relatively large and can't be edited due to "502 Bad Gateway" errors (previewing and saving edits causes the error page to appear almost every time, and edits aren't always saved). --06:32, 13 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Are there specific pages where this happens, or is it any page on the wiki ? — Game widow (talk) 10:58, 13 August 2017 (UTC)
 * This typically occurs on heavy pages. This page is rather resource demanding, and I just caused an error to show by switching to edit mode and clicking "Show preview" without making any changes.
 * Sometimes a 504 "Gateway Time Out" error occurs instead of a 502. --AttemptToCallNil (report bug, view backtrace) 11:13, 13 August 2017 (UTC)

 * Your issue is that you're using FileUrl to create the URL for the spritesheet, rather than a stylesheet, which is significantly faster. FileUrl is intended for ease of use, not performance. –Majr ᐸ <small style=display:inline-block;line-height:9px;vertical-align:-3px>Talk Contribs 11:27, 13 August 2017 (UTC)

 * Most of the affected articles were apparently related to the IndustrialCraft 2 mod, articles on which have mostly switched from using Grid files for inventory slots to the sprite system. So it was that sprite sheet which used FileUrl instead of a CSS class. The project which was also plagued by the 502/504 errors is dedicated to IC2 too: many articles on this mod need to be updated. —  BabylonAS</b> (talk | ru.Wiki Admin) (fka NickTheRed37) 14:09, 13 August 2017 (UTC)

Where is this wiki's LocalSettings.php?
Hi Game widow! I have currently a question where this wiki's LocalSettings.php is, I thinking to see the source code and so, where is this wiki's LocalSettings.php?  psl85  ( | talk | contribs | send email) 05:57, 13 July 2018 (UTC)


 * LocalSettings.php is usually not publicly visible because it normally contains sensitive information such as database passwords. While I would be very surprised if Gamepedia hadn't moved all such sensitive information out of their wikis' LocalSettings.php files, I would be more surprised if they actually publicly shared a LocalSettings.php file. Therefore, I think you'd have much better results asking about the setup for some specific setting or group of settings, rather than the whole file. 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 09:21, 13 July 2018 (UTC)

Ability to make batch edits?

 * It would depend on the exact situation, but in most cases, yes, it's possible. What exactly were you looking to change? — Game widow (talk) 19:36, 2 December 2018 (UTC)
 * It's not possible that I can make the edit? If so, please wait a day or two, I'll compile the list of Before-After word sets. --Alswo9628(4) — ko.Admin (talk) 04:05, 3 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Have you heard of AutoWikiBrowser? Would that work? Just make sure to be careful with it and I strongly recommend skimming through the user manual of Wikipedia before using it. One thing that's different here from Wikipedia is that any registered user can use it; they don't have to apply at a request for permissions page.
