Minecraft Wiki:Admin noticeboard

de:Minecraft Wiki:Admin Pinnwand The Admin noticeboard is one way through which users can notify administrators of issues needing administrative attention. While users are welcome to directly contact specific administrators (especially if they are seen to be active), posting here can be an easier and quicker way of ensuring that at least one admin will notice an issue and respond to it promptly. Remember to sign when posting an issue.

Before posting an issue here, consider the following:
 * As this is a noticeboard and not a talk page, please refrain from discussing.
 * Post only issues that require administrative action, i.e. blocking vandals, protecting pages, restoring deleted pages etc.
 * Do not post deletion requests here. Deletion requests should be made by adding  to the top of the target page, which will then automatically mark the page as a candidate for deletion.
 * Do not post issues regarding content disputes. Try making a request for comments instead.
 * Mediation requests between users should only be made if a resolution could not be reached between users.

In case of vandalism, posting about it here is low priority. Revert it first, anyone can do so. If the vandal created a new page, tag it for deletion. Assume good faith and consider leaving a message on that user's talk page to explain the reason. Post here only if the user has made several disruptive edits and/or persists despite a warning. Always avoid a revert war with the vandal; it is far better to wait until an admin has a chance to intervene.

Vandalism : Replaces words like docks, sticks, ink sacs or boats by dicks, ball sacs and boobs. I'm undoing his changes. Please ban him : his changes are well hidden. Hopefully you can easily undo changes made to a page.... --THX 1138 4EB 11:45, 9 August 2011 (UTC)

Abuse Filter blocks
Could the admins review and possibly correct some of the latest blocks by the abuse filter? --JonTheMon 19:57, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

Posts pages about random and purposeless subjects. --THX 1138 4EB 11:43, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

Bedrock Page Vandalism
I would like to support deadcrow's post about vandalism of the Wheat Faming page by reporting another case of vandalism. Apparently, someone has also copied and pasted the entire Wikipedia article about Autism in place of the Bedrock page information. I have a feeling that it is the same individual that did this. I wanted to try and revert the situation like deadcrow, but after reading his post, I decided to notify the admins instead.

I could not get a suspect name, unfortunately. I think it doesn't matter anymore though. When I went back to check the Bedrock page a few minutes later, it had been restored.

apparent wheat farming page vandalism
I apologize if I'm terribly, terribly off on formatting or otherwise in posting here, but I'd just like to bring up that upon visiting the wheat farming page someone had copied and pasted an entire unrelated article from wikipedia in place of the information that should have been there, which had been completely removed. On my attempt to undo the changes I was barred with the reason that I was attempting to undo a large amount of editing another user had recently submitted, or something along those lines. Now, unless I'm very confused, which honestly happens more than I'd like to admit, this is blatant vandalism. Upon thinking of it I should have tried to get the offenders name, but as one may be able to tell I'm not exactly highly acclimated to the functioning of this website, so I'm doing the best I can. Thanks to whomever may read this by the way.

Added by deadcrow - Also the Snow and Snow Blocks page has been replaced with other content. I tried to revert it, but such a large change was not allowed, and was direct to notify admin...

Change username ?
Hello, I haven't seen anyone ask that question on that wiki before so I'm asking it : I need to change my username. The reason for this is that I want to have the same username on all the forums and wikis I contribute to, and I saw that my current username (THX_1138_4EB (or THX-1138 4EB on the other sites)) isn't usable/available everywhere. For this reason I decided to change it to SwissTHX11384EB on all these sites because it only uses letters and numbers and isn't used anywhere. So, could you please change my username to SwissTHX11384EB with all my data (user page and editing history) transferred to this new name ? I would really appreciate it (Tell me if I should ask this elsewhere and in that case, I'll move that request to the appropriate page). Thanks in advance. THX 1138 4EB 21:43, 6 August 2011 (UTC)


 * You can change your username by going to My Preferences which is at the top-right corner of the page.

 * I went to this page but I can't see how to change it.... My username is displayed but there's no way I can change it....

 * Make a new account and send me a mail from both accounts confirming it's you. I'll then merge your old account with your new one.--Quatroking -  MCWiki Administrator  12:18, 9 August 2011 (UTC)


 * OK thank you so much. Here's the old account. --THX 1138 4EB 17:59, 9 August 2011 (UTC)


 * And here's the new one. --SwissTHX11384EB 18:00, 9 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Alright, merged the accounts.--Quatroking -  MCWiki Administrator  18:07, 9 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks, it worked. The user page hasn't been transferred but I'll make it again (it wasn't that big). --SwissTHX11384EB 18:13, 9 August 2011 (UTC)

Random Videos
At least two videos have been put up by one Youtube user about random tutorials, one about a secret door through lava and another about creating a "Hellgate" as he calls it, that can easily be explained in writing, if they're even worth being written about. The videos themselves aren't all that great, and the user who put them up was very aggressive when I asked him to remove them from the page himself before they just got deleted. They were both tagged for speedy deletion yesterday, as per Wiki rule #16, but now that warning seems to be gone, for whatever reason... (I suspect it was the same user who put them up) I don't think those articles are necessary, and I think they should be deleted. --Devilquak 20:35, 17 July 2011 (UTC)

I did placed those deletion tags, for non respect of rule 16. See the page history. C ali nou - talk × contribs » 20:51, 17 July 2011 (UTC)

are edit warring on Programs and editors. —KPReid 01:16, 4 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Page is locked, both have been warned and once I know more about the programs then I'll decide if they stay, then the page will be unlocked again. – ultradude25 ( T at 04:00, 4 August 2011 (UTC)

Protection of Diamond (Ore)
This page often gets vandalized, could someone semi-protect it so only autoconfirmed users can edit it? C ali nou - talk × contribs » 08:02, 3 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Protection is a tool to be used only to stop a currently ongoing vandal spree, or edit war. It is not something to be used on any sort of regular basis. -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  08:04, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

This editor keeps copying Data values into their userspace (both user and talk page) - these are the editor's only edits. The userspace copy has already been deleted once, and the talkspace copy was removed and replaced with a comment asking the editor about why they did so. I'm not seeing anything that leads me to believe this editor is going to actually contribute, or is even willing to communicate with other editors. 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 18:10, 4 August 2011 (UTC)
 * and you expect us to do.....what? he is breaking no rules, and you can do whatever you want in your own userspace.--Kizzycocoa 18:11, 4 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Nothing, specifically (otherwise I would have stated what I was expecting). I was merely pointing it out in the event the admins wanted to do anything. 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 18:13, 4 August 2011 (UTC)

A couple of us users have gone through and reverted the predictable autism vandalism. Can we please have this person removed? Sunsmoon 08:46, 8 August 2011 (UTC)
