Minecraft Wiki:Admin noticeboard

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.

Current issues

Vandalism at Ambience
Ambience is being plagued with vandalism from what I suspect is one user. They started as an IP, but now have posted the same content from at least two accounts (with the vandalism as their only edit).

The actual nature of the vandalism involves deletion of half the content and the adding of misinformation (info that appears superficially plausible in what I can only guess is an attempt to evade detection).


 * It's all from the same IP, so they're all blocked now. – ultradude25 ( T &#124; C ) at 01:09, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

Help!
there is a major attack on the wiki. I cant revert everything, its too much! Something Epic is the culprit -- Usyflad 10   04:37, 26 November 2011 (UTC)

Lots of vandalism on Known bugs --Xkq 21:23, 25 November 2011 (UTC)

'Random page' to only user language
The 'Random page' link on the left hand side of the page takes users to pages not in their native language, this is useless to those of us who are not multilingual. Can someone fix this so the button only takes users to pages in their native language. –Preceding unsigned comment was added by 92.8.238.137 (Talk&#124;Contribs) 18:22, 25 November 2011.

Requesting page protection
The Known bugs page needs to be temporarily protected until the issues have been resolved because people are still adding bugs to the page when it clearly says NOT to. - Asterick6 04:46, 24 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Does it really matter? Can't you just overwrite the page with your changes once you're done? – ultradude25 ( T &#124; C ) at 05:40, 24 November 2011 (UTC)

He keeps blanking his talk page. Somebody500 (有人500) 00:23, 23 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Seeing his actions on the pages, I think he needs to be blocked again. - Asterick6 04:47, 24 November 2011 (UTC)

Antisemitic vandalism on Enchanting page--Yurisho 18:47, 22 November 2011 (UTC)
 * lol, didn't see you put this here. I reverted the vandalism he put on this page. --Saphireking65 18:50, 22 November 2011 (UTC)

Anonymous Vandalism Exploiting Section Removal Protection
http://www.minecraftwiki.net/index.php?title=Glistering_Melon&diff=prev&oldid=210521 Is it a bad idea to prevent anonymous section removal while allowing anonymous section insertion? 67.103.42.218 17:30, 22 November 2011 (UTC)

Skyblock
Since there is an article on spleef, will we see one about Skyblock? Its popularity has arguably surpassed spleefing and tips on survival would be useful.

Excessive Vandalism
There're numerous edits on Notch by many non-registered users. I guess it needs a massive rollback and edit protection... --Barracuda 16:11, 20 November 2011 (UTC)

Education Project
Is there someone "officially" managing the Education project? Is this the appropriate place to publish actual educational activities that integrate Minecraft in the curriculum topics? We could publish them in WikiEducator, but it makes more sense to have them in Minecraft Wiki, if appropriate. We expect to develop 20-50 activities next semester. The Minecraft_Wiki:Projects/Minecraft_in_education/Spanish activity is an example. --Vtaylor 15:40, 20 November 2011 (UTC)

Broken template
The Program template is broken. The Pocket Edition page needs more than 1 link, so the template needs to be updated. - Asterick6 07:21, 17 November 2011 (UTC)

Vandalism/Intentional errors
This guy seems to be changing all the facts on different pages into wrong ones, and has also linked words such as "the". Since he has continuously changed words, I think he is intentionally altering the info. - Asterick6 01:17, 17 November 2011 (UTC)

Vandalism
Someone registered a Mojang account and is using it to vandalize some pages: --Mustek 16:18, 13 November 2011 (UTC)

Also, some imposter is vandalizing pages, swearing in 1337, and posting pictures of Hitler everywhere.

I was blocked for some reason while editing the Splash Potions page. Will an admin please unblock me? I just want to finish editing what I was gonna do, then I'll just leave. Cause I don't see why I should stay and keep editing if I'm going to be banned for a little thing like this. The Abuse filter should be fixed. -Asterick6 07:21, 10 November 2011 (UTC)


 * It banned you because of the word that comes in between molotov and tail. It certainly does need fixing. I don't really get why every action it takes is instant infinite block, it should at least tell you what was wrong first (except for the solely spam filters, they can stay infinite). – ultradude25 ( T &#124; C ) at 10:03, 10 November 2011 (UTC)

Discussion moved to Minecraft Wiki talk:Admin noticeboard

I was blocked again... I thought you had the filter altered to allow the full name? Will someone let me know which words are not allowed, so that I don't keep getting blocked? I want to add this info, but this filter keeps getting in the way... can't it be changed to allow the full word that I was trying to use? -Asterick6 23:12, 10 November 2011 (UTC)
