Dutch page nl:Sjabloon:BlockSprite/doc
Hi,

We're having some problems on the Dutch wiki, when i try to make changes to the Template talk page nl:Sjabloon:BlockSprite/doc it goes to this screen:, just a white screen with in the url bar a url which states that it's submitting but it's done loading, do you know how to fix this? I've tried deleting and remaking the article, didn't work. I also have this problem with the english version of this page and sometimes with other large articles. -- TheWombatGuru   t undefinedc  NL Admin  01:18, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
 * It's not only TheWombatGuru. I have it too :(. - CrazyBliep   NL Admin  08:25, 5 January 2014 (UTC)

This is happening because that page uses the a template too many times. BlockSprite/entry I would suggest splitting those tables onto separate subpages. -- Wynthyst    talk  15:42, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Only on the Dutch wiki or also on the English one? -- TheWombatGuru   t undefinedc  NL Admin  15:43, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
 * I split it up into 2 templates, it works on the English wiki, but not on the Dutch. -- TheWombatGuru   t undefinedc  NL Admin  15:53, 5 January 2014 (UTC)

Problem with CAPTCHA.
Hello, Wynthyst! I'm user on Russian Minecraft Wiki. I don't speak English, so there may be errors. We had a problem. When I edit a page and add links to external sites, I was asked to choose photos of cats. But when I select them and press the button "Save page", I was asked to choose again. Five times I tried to edit a page and still does not work. This is a problem I encounter the first time. I hope you will help to deal with it. Thanks in advance :).

Also, according to mediawiki, the infinite-cats problem may be solveable by installing Extension:Asirra, rather than using the ConfirmEdit module. -- Orthotopetalk 19:46, 21 January 2014 (UTC)

Decimal to hexadecimal converter
The situation is this: For this template was formerly a subpage. But after processing the template it has become useless and has been removed. But, on the service page, under "Required templates this page for some reason there is, and there's a link. But when you view "Link on the template, the page no links! I hope you understand me.

Copycat sites
Hi Wynthyst, I'm the Chinese Wiki Bureaucrat Craft_Lawrence.

so it seems the unauthorized copying problem is coming back.

http://minecraft.gamedog.cn/hechengbiao/list_1947_1.html

Absolutely everything is copied from the Chinese wiki with no source attribution no nothing.

What can we do about this situation? Since it's a commercial site, it's obviously a violation and it's really getting me frustrated.

Thanks for the attention.

—— Craft Lawrence (talk) 05:57, 29 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Hi Craft Lawrence, I understand your frustration, unfortunately, there's really little we can do, especially with these Chinese domains. I don't want to offend anyone, but I'm sad to say that the Chinese government, the regulating body for all things in China including the internet, has little respect for copyright rules that the rest of the world use, so there's really no one we can "report" the violation to who would actually do anything about it. About the only thing I can say is imitation is the highest form of flattery.... I know... it doesn't help much. We do all the work and don't get any credit. Just know that we are by far the best there is when it comes to Minecraft information. -- Wynthyst  [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]]  talk  06:42, 29 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Would things be different if this happened to other language Wikis other than Chinese sites? --Craft Lawrence (talk) 10:02, 29 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Not really, though we do report gross violations on our English sites, it's simply not worth the cost of actually following through with legal action if they choose to ignore the report. -- Wynthyst  [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]]  talk  17:30, 29 January 2014 (UTC)
 * I would assume so. Anyways there may not be a legal way to stop them from copying, but I have taken advantage of my influences in the Chinese communities to issue notifications among all of the main forums about this vile incident. We're gonna make sure they get what they deserve. And again, thank you for your attention.  -- Craft Lawrence (talk) 21:28, 29 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Hi, Wynthyst  I'm happy to tell you that our forum has begun the negotiation with this copycat site.That site has admitted what they have done. Our forum is the friendly site of Minecraft Wiki so our admin also ask that site to stop coping from Wiki.Althought you can't help much, but still thank you for your reply. a20001017.

A new idea to meet certain needs
Hi Wynthyst,

So lately I've been thinking about making an anthropomorphized embodiment for Minecraft Wiki (something like what Wikipedia did with Wikipe-tan) since it seems that it would really benefit for the advertisements in Chinese forums.(Thanks to all that Japanese sub-culture influence)

I know it's probably more of a Directors' discussion issue, but I wanna seek your advice first on if it's legal or appropriate.

Thanks!
