Bot request
Would you be able to move Minecraft Wiki:Projects/Village Blueprints to Village/Blueprints along with all of the project's subpages? I tried moving them using the Move page feature but it came up with errors each time. –Goandgoo ᐸ Talk Contribs 02:24, 6 February 2016 (UTC)


 * , though the pages will need a bit of cleanup after the move to fit mainspace standards. – Knight Miner  03:23, 6 February 2016 (UTC)


 * Those pages should be using BlockGrid rather than a mess of Grids. –Majr ᐸ Talk Contribs 03:40, 6 February 2016 (UTC)


 * Is there any easy way to convert them? I really don't feel like going through all of them by hand. –Goandgoo ᐸ Talk Contribs 05:41, 6 February 2016 (UTC)

Could you fix all the double redirects from the recent page merge? Thanks –Goandgoo ᐸ Talk Contribs 03:21, 7 February 2016 (UTC)

One more bot request - removing Pi Edition from history tables on pages (and also remove pi edition references from the history template etc) –Goandgoo ᐸ Talk Contribs 04:15, 7 February 2016 (UTC)


 * And as well. history has also been edited to remove the pi edition mode (which was just a verlink prefix a header really) – Knight Miner  21:48, 7 February 2016 (UTC)

Now that 0.14.0 is released for PE, can your bot update the relevant history tables? –Goandgoo ᐸ Talk Contribs 20:31, 18 February 2016 (UTC)


 * . Headers should be removed or replaced with the alpha version (based on the page). – Knight Miner  22:21, 18 February 2016 (UTC)

End crystal
If you've removed the end crystal from Template:BlockSprite, how would I fix this: Obsidian_Pillar | AndrewAB (talk 13:53, 13 July 2016 (UTC)


 * Hmm, I can see why it would be useful there, as adding a sprite to the block sheet is easier than modifying BlockGrid to support entities. I reverted my edit. – Knight Miner  14:01, 13 July 2016 (UTC)


 * Thanks! | AndrewAB (talk 14:02, 13 July 2016 (UTC)

How do you make a bot?
How do you make a bot? --173.228.205.51 13:17, 10 December 2016 (UTC)


 * Start by making an account and making good contributions, then have a need for a bot. My policy on teaching users about bots is generally if you cannot figure out how to get started, you probably don't need one. – Knight Miner  22:25, 14 December 2016 (UTC)


 * How many maxinum bots can you have? I planned when sign in, 12 bots I will make--67.224.209.34 20:26, 9 February 2017 (UTC)


 * Until you create an account, develop a reputation as a reliable editor, and can articulate what you need a bot for, you won't have any. I have yet to see anyone with a need for more than one bot. If you just want to play around with a wiki, you can install MediaWiki on your own computer and make yourself as many bots as you want there. -- Orthotopetalk 20:48, 9 February 2017 (UTC)


 * So, you mean i can spam myself 12 bots when registered? If not, please delete this message--67.224.209.34 20:57, 9 February 2017 (UTC)


 * No. If you're running your own wiki, on your own computer, you can do whatever you want. Here, you have to tell us what you need a bot for, and prove that you can use it responsibly. -- Orthotopetalk 21:31, 9 February 2017 (UTC)

Edit count help
I am attempting to create an edit count setup as per the documentation on StrategyWiki by User:Najzere. Currently, it seems to do nothing. If you could please provide some guidance or advice as to how you set up yours successfully, that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Maethoredhel (t • c • ) 17:10, 4 January 2017 (UTC)


 * I did not do anything, I just used one of 's scripts. It does not properly handle namespaces for the record, thus neither of us have really bother using it any time recently, so there is a good chance a recent wiki update broke the script. – Knight Miner  23:02, 4 January 2017 (UTC)


 * OK, I understand now. Thank you for explaining! ☺ Maethoredhel (t • c • Book.png) 23:22, 4 January 2017 (UTC)

Bot request for Dutch Minecraft Wiki
Recently I updated the template BlockSprite on the Dutch Minecraft Wiki to use Dutch sprite names instead of the English ones. Currently I have only deprecated the old English names, which resulted in a category with about 500 pages in it. All those pages, as you might've guessed already, are using the old names.

My request is thus as follows: can your bot replace all the old sprite names from the template BlockSprite on the pages in the category mentioned above with the new names? If possible, could you make it so that sprite names are replaced in templates first (like Blocks, Items, etc.), followed by pages? I don't really care how fast it's done or when; even with ten pages a day I'm fine.

Thanks in advance! -- DarkShadowTNT  NL Admin ( t  ♦  c ) 13:57, 28 March 2017 (UTC)

P.S.: all the links in the post are linking to the Dutch Minecraft Wiki.


 * The code I've written before to substitute sprite names only works for cases of basic sprite/link templates, but if you want to try it feel free (see here). I admittedly have not been very active lately so not sure when I would have time to do it myself. – Knight Miner  00:45, 31 March 2017 (UTC)

Need some help with the advancements template.
Alright, I've been trying to get this done all morning, but unfortunately, I have given up and will need your help. All I'm trying to do is to remove the "Prerequisites" portion from the template, while also trying to remove a tiny portion of blank space that is shown on the template itself. -BDJP (t 15:38, 29 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Do we not want a "prerequisites" column? I know that the parent advancement isn't required, whereas the parent achievement is .. but could we just call it "parent" or something, and still use it? – Sealbudsman <span style="transform: rotate(-16deg); display: inline-block; top: -1px; position: relative;">talk/contr 16:29, 29 April 2017 (UTC)


 * You still have most of the code labeled "Prerequisites" left in there. I can fix it, but I do agree with Sealbudsman that a parent field might be useful, especially since a lot of the other columns of achievement no longer exist. – Knight Miner  16:48, 29 April 2017 (UTC)


 * I suppose I can agree with that, seeing as a previous advancement isn't required even though two advancements are connected somehow. -BDJP (t 16:53, 29 April 2017 (UTC)

Bot Request for the Rewrite for Style Project
Hello, the Rewrite for Style project has recently completed the Environment section, and we are now waiting for the bot to remove the Rewritten environment category. Thank you in advance. Superspace (talk) 01:03, 6 May 2017 (UTC)

Nintendo Switch history
May I request your bot to perform in adding a new Console version history for the Nintendo Switch Edition? But first, I think the template might need to be tweaked. - ItsPlantseed  |  15:39, 24 May 2017 (UTC)

Question about template inside template
I notice a ton of pages still in Category:Computer_edition_upcoming_tag, even though the upcoming tags were removed from the achievements template. Is there something we have to do to make that change propagate to all the achievement-having pages? I only ask since adding or removing templates from things will usually speedily update the respective category page. Is the delay just because it's a template-inside-a-template, or is there a particular purge that could be done? – Sealbudsman <span style="transform: rotate(-16deg); display: inline-block; top: -1px; position: relative;">talk/contr 22:27, 7 June 2017 (UTC)


 * load achievements has a somewhat longer cache than the standard template one since it uses DPL, so it takes a bit longer to update. It seems to have cleared by now when I am looking at it unless someone else purged them. This is also why I normally set on upcoming usages (and set the category within   tags) within that table to prevent the category from transcending onto the other pages.
 * There is a way using the API to force pages that reference a page to clear their cache, but generally I just sent my bot with a touch script if I needed a change to take effect before the cache cleared (a little more focused). – Knight Miner  05:30, 8 June 2017 (UTC)
