He/she added a spam page.

Repeatedly vandalizing, removing content and writing false information. 01:44, 27 April 2012 (UTC)

Spam and a display error towards the bottom of the page. Cannot correct, because my edits are automatically flagged as malicious for trying to remove a section (which needs to be removed to remove the spam).
 * fixed –  00:05, 30 April 2012 (UTC)

Vandalizing several pages. 17:11, 2 May 2012 (UTC)

Vandalized. C ali nou - ×  » 07:42, 2 May 2012 (UTC)
 * vandalized also the XBOX 360 image . Cannot revert as anon ip.  09:47, 2 May 2012 (UTC)
 * I seem to be unable to revert this; the revert proceeds without error, but nothing happens. Not a cache issue - there's nothing in the logs or file history. -- 12:23, 2 May 2012 (UTC)

Ive been trying too. But nothing is happening. :/

Vandalism spree. — 00:33, 9 May 2012 (UTC)

The page seems to have gone bad; visiting it gives an Error page (not the usual no-page-exists result), and my recent changes feed contains an entry for it saying “Can't load revision 307248” instead of a diff (date 2012-05-14 7:41, author 89.187.100.66), and no entry indicating it was intentionally deleted. — 15:39, 14 May 2012 (UTC)


 * It seems the edit of has broken the page. His edit does not appears in the page history but is in the recent changes:

13:41 (cur | prev). . (-2) . . 89.187.100.66 (Talk) (Dev build) m 07:18 (cur | prev). . (+311) . . LulzCop (Talk | contribs) (→New Content: )
 * –  16:05, 14 May 2012 (UTC)


 * It seems, you can't edit the page anymore. I tried to put the latest working version of that page back, but it gives a 'Server error'. -  NL Admin  18:18, 14 May 2012 (UTC)

The same problem has occurred on the page, this time after an edit by  : (diff | hist). . Sugar Cane‎; 21:46. . (+48) . . 76.121.161.221 (Talk)‎ (→Trivia: ) -- 00:21, 18 May 2012 (UTC)


 * And again at . Has anyone figured out what causes this? -- 03:57, 23 May 2012 (UTC)


 * Database got corrupted somehow, so the the latest diff on some pages at that time became invalid. It seems to only actually cause the page to break when someone tries to edit the invalid diff, probably due to caching. – (&#124;) at 13:29, 23 May 2012 (UTC)


 * And broke again. :/ --  07:33, 20 June 2012 (UTC)

I have noticed that this user is flooding recent changes with edits to his page, making it harder to find recently edited pages that were vandalized. however, he has not done any vandalism himself though therefore has no reason to be banned. so, I propose that his talk page and user page should be blocked in some way, forcing him to either help the wiki, or quit. what make this even worse are his multiple adim requests. Perhaps im wrong, but i think wikis aren't the place to make a perfect user page, thats what facebook is for. 20:43, 15 May 2012 (UTC)
 * now he is pointlessly editing templates, and has started an edit war. I think it would be better to simply ban him.  23:00, 15 May 2012 (UTC)
 * I would not like to be banned, even if I'm doing edit wars. -- 00:18, 16 May 2012 (UTC)9
 * If you dont want to be banned, then stop having edit wars. Edit wars are a surefire way to get banned, especially if your having an edit war with an ADMIN!  Just face the fact that you won't be an admin any time soon.  00:24, 16 May 2012 (UTC)

New account, 2 edits, all vandalism. — 23:10, 16 May 2012 (UTC)
 * . Ultradude25 already blocked for me, even though I'm not an admin. --  12:57, 17 May 2012 (UTC)

Vandalism spree -- 10:09, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

Created a page about a hack.

Ok. I see Ultradude fixed it. :)

Side Panels
The 'Recent Community Articles' and 'Mojang Tweets' side panels are normally OK, except on image viewing pages where I find them a darn nuisance, but they also obscure part of the list of admins on the Directors page. a) This is a very well-known and long-standing layout bug. b) Isn't the fact that it affects the directors page a big enough issue to justify fixing the problem? -- 12:16, 21 May 2012 (UTC)

They're offering free Minecraft codes. -- 14:42, 21 May 2012 (UTC)

- Page protection
Since we're mostly removing spam and vandalism from this page, it seems a good idea to only show changes after some administrative revision, or allow only registered users to write it. I hope this helps, since it's mostly anonymous users doing it... -- -- 07:42, 22 May 2012 (UTC)

and
Both of these have been consistently vandalising the page with nonsense spanish, some offensive. I would suggest a ban, as it almost certainly is not good faith. –Preceding unsigned comment was added by (&#124;). Please sign your posts with


 * Also of note is that the reporting user here created userpages for both of these users with the text "I'm an a*hole".   18:47, 1 June 2012 (UTC)

User has vandalized and several other pages, writing "THE DEVIL HAS RISEN!", replacing text with derogatory terms, and inserting nonsense in templates. 04:02, 2 June 2012 (UTC)


 * This user has also created the account and used this account to vandalize other pages with the same content as listed above.   04:14, 2 June 2012 (UTC)

User has severely vandalized. I would attempt to revert it but don't have an account and don't want to make one just to attempt the revert.


 * Currently going on a massive vandalizing spree. 03:40, 3 June 2012 (UTC)


 * The person is also vandalizing, which I just reverted. 04:22, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

Vandalizing pages

Repeat adding of false information.

Repeat vandalizing I fixed all of what he/she did.

Account registration for wiki broken
Hyas, I've been trying to register for days now but whenever I try to register it gives; Login error Incorrect or missing confirmation code.

I do know what cats look like, so no issue there, even tried selecting all the dogs once, nothing seems to work. -- 11:47, 6 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Do you have cookies enabled ? -- 11:57, 6 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Issue seems related to IE9 with default options (allowing cookies or adding the site to trusted sites didnt help either). Installed Safari and that worked right off the bat. -- 16:41, 6 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I have been having the same problem. It will not allow me to create an account. I am using windows 7 and I have cookies enabled. what do I do to get an account?

Version 12w23b already
Thanks to a crash bug in 12w23a, the version needs to be bumped again already -- 12:48, 7 June 2012 (UTC)

This guys seems to disregard the rules. He's been acting disruptive going around tagging and deleting content such as bug reports, legitimate article topics, etc. He's already broken Rule #5 twice by bluntly verbally "attacking" other editors who try to let him know about his actions. He probably thinks he's a veteran editor who can disregard the rules. He has no respect for other editor's comments/opinions, and acts as if other player's comments are unimportant and his are correct. His edit summaries also reflect a conceited attitude to editing this wiki. He's had many content disputes where he does not attempt to resolve the issue in a civil and appropriate manner. This may just be a personal dispute or several disputes involving other editors who were also involved with his actions, but I'm uncomfortable with this editor being around, and feel a bit hurt as well. A discussion about this issue should resolve this, but maybe a ban should be enforced afterwards (however long). -  02:03, 8 June 2012 (UTC)
