Minecraft Wiki:Patroller requests

This page is for collaboratively verifying changes that others have made on the wiki. Both admins and patrollers have the ability to mark pages and edits as patrolled as a way of confirming verification, but while using this tool they cannot always verify everything themselves. Using this page, they can declare that they can't patrol that edit yet for a specified reason.

By sharing what edits they cannot patrol themselves on this page, and other patrollers or editors communicating back what they know, these unpatrollable edits will be easier and faster spotted and dealt with. This helps to fixing false information, misinformation and sneaky vandalism. This also helps to share verified information between patrolling users and additionally, this serves as a backlog of such info as well.

How does this work

 * 1) A [ patroller] or [ administrator] posts a   (click link for documentation) on this page, asking for the verification of a single piece of factual information with a link to each related unpatrollable edit. These requests are sorted by the page the edits relate to, under a linked header.
 * 2) Another trusted editor (might be a regular editor or another patrolling user) answers the request by providing sourced information to contribute to verifying the unpatrollable edits. This may require play-testing or fact-checking, just recalling from memory is not useful.
 * 3) If full verification requires additional work/replies, the request is marked as "wip" for the progress icon, to show it isn't finished yet. Repeat point 2
 * 4) When enough information is gathered to fully verify the edits of the request, a patrolling user may mark the related edits as patrolled and then mark the request as "done" for the checkmark icon. This may be the user who originally posted the request, or another patrolling user.

Confirming/patrolling edits
In this section, all (questionable) edits are listed that cannot be patrolled yet until someone can confirm their correctness. Please reply to each individual list item as if it were a talk page, to explain/confirm/debunk whether the related edit(s) is/are correct or not. This may require play-testing, research or some other reliable source.

1.13

 * Looks like already patrolled the edit without reverting. However, I tried in Java to jump 6 blocks and I could not get there, no matter how straight of a path I went or how close to the edge I jumped from. Just want to check in before marking this as done. =)-- Madminecrafter12 Orange Glazed Terracotta.png to meLight Blue Glazed Terracotta.png 15:51, 29 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Do you want to respond to this? Curious if you've confirmed this or not. Either way's fine, it just would be nice to know.-- Madminecrafter12 Orange Glazed Terracotta.png to meLight Blue Glazed Terracotta.png 16:09, 30 August 2018 (UTC)

Coral

 * Doesn't seem to drop at all, whatever you try. -Pepijn (talk) 09:58, 5 September 2018 (UTC)
 * So how do you suggest to fix these edits? I'm really confused. It appears they're sying that it does drop, but requires Silk Touch, just like how it works in Java. So you're sure that is false for corals in Bedrock Edition, in that it drops nothing even with the enchantment? – Jack McKalling [ Grid Book and Quill.png Grid Diamond Pickaxe.png ] 08:27, 15 October 2018 (UTC)

Dolphin

 * I tested in 1.13 and it doesn't look like they can. Might need some more thorough testing, though.-- Madminecrafter12 Orange Glazed Terracotta.png to meLight Blue Glazed Terracotta.png 14:04, 10 August 2018 (UTC)
 * It was a bug in Java Edition, has been fixed. -Pepijn (talk) 09:54, 5 September 2018 (UTC)
 * So I understand they indeed cannot ride boats in Bedrock edition, because it wasn't intended behaviour in the first place. All right, then the edits are partially correct, and the incorrect part of this has already been fixed. I can mark this request as done. – Jack McKalling [ Grid Book and Quill.png Grid Diamond Pickaxe.png ] 08:34, 15 October 2018 (UTC)

Drowned

 * I don't think the chances ever changed. But don't take my word for it. FVbico (talk) 14:03, 16 August 2018 (UTC)


 * I've patrolled the second diff here already, because a verify was added to it later. But it still needs te be verified. – Jack McKalling [ Grid Book and Quill.png Grid Diamond Pickaxe.png ] 12:06, 6 August 2018 (UTC)


 * New swimming animation not present in 18w21a, but present in 18w22c. Still should be narrowed down. – Sealbudsman talk | contribs 02:02, 7 August 2018 (UTC)
 * The new swimming animation is now also mentioned on the 1.13-pre1 page in this edit. – Jack McKalling [ Grid Book and Quill.png Grid Diamond Pickaxe.png ] 10:25, 7 August 2018 (UTC)

End Portal Frame

 * I tested this myself already, and at least in JE 1.12.2 comparators are only able to pick up the filled-state of the block, not a redstone signal that runs into the block. Neither weak or strongly powering the portal frame outputs any signal. There is still the possibility that some other edition does allow redstone powering the portal frame however, this needs to be tested. – Jack McKalling [ Grid Book and Quill.png Grid Diamond Pickaxe.png ] 21:34, 16 October 2018 (UTC)

Kelp

 * 1. Only blocks above break, the one below the hit one will turn to  instead of  . FVbico 20:22, 30 July 2018 (UTC)


 * Can only be placed in source blocks last time I checked. FVbico 20:22, 30 July 2018 (UTC)
 * FVbico is correct for JE, based on my checking, so I've updated the article accordingly. However, it will need to be tested in BE before the edit can be patrolled.-- Madminecrafter12 Orange Glazed Terracotta.png to meLight Blue Glazed Terracotta.png 23:41, 30 July 2018 (UTC)

Snow

 * I'm sceptic because it doesn't appear in any changelog of the related versions. – Jack McKalling [ Grid Book and Quill.png Grid Diamond Pickaxe.png ] 12:22, 11 October 2018 (UTC)

Terracotta

 * In most screenshots it looks like brown, but I can't tell for sure. – Jack McKalling [ Grid Book and Quill.png Grid Diamond Pickaxe.png ] 14:14, 10 October 2018 (UTC)

Turtle

 * They are **not** called sea turtle in bedrock, you can check this with the say command. (Just for those thinking that was wrong to begin with) FVbico (talk) 21:22, 11 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Okay, closing this topic now. The editor claimed the mob ID in LCE was "turtle" anyway, so they're just "turtles" in all editions. Any other item or block in game referencing "sea turtle" is just using a different name than the actual mob itself, eventhough the mob technically is indeed a "sea" turtle. Marking edit as patrolled and request as done. For future reference, best solution would be if turtles were renamed as sea turtles in the game, but that's up to Mojang. – Jack McKalling [ Grid Book and Quill.png Grid Diamond Pickaxe.png ] 18:38, 15 October 2018 (UTC)

Turtle Egg

 * Not in Bedrock or Java. The infobox's "gravity" parameter was removed from the template anyways, so I removed it from the article. – Sonicwave talk  00:53, 15 October 2018 (UTC)

Underwater Ruins

 * I think it refers to the loot table, not sure. FVbico (talk) 14:13, 16 August 2018 (UTC)
 * It does. -Pepijn (talk) 09:45, 5 September 2018 (UTC)
 * It refers to single/double chest, or to the loot table? And if the latter, then does that mean the edit is false or correct? – Jack McKalling [ Grid Book and Quill.png Grid Diamond Pickaxe.png ] 09:48, 5 September 2018 (UTC)
 * It refers to the loot table; there’s no large chests in the ruins.
 * As for the edit it should be undone or rewritten, choose your pick. FVbico (talk) 21:46, 10 October 2018 (UTC)
 * All right, I rephrased the text. Can't patrol the edit anymore. – Jack McKalling [ Grid Book and Quill.png Grid Diamond Pickaxe.png ] 07:32, 11 October 2018 (UTC)

Villager

 * If it really is, this statement should also be moved out of trivia, and marked as JE or similar, in the content. – Jack McKalling [ Grid Book and Quill.png Grid Diamond Pickaxe.png ] 09:55, 9 August 2018 (UTC)

Water

 * I'm certain water was indeed changed in respect to light in 1.13, and I remember the value "2", but I'm just not certain of the exact value used in this edit. – Jack McKalling [ Grid Book and Quill.png Grid Diamond Pickaxe.png ] 23:36, 11 October 2018 (UTC)


 * No, it's dark grey(ish). --Giorgosarv18 (talk/contribs) 13:16, 13 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Could you provide a source about that information? This page requires trusted sources, and you're not in the (auto)patroller usergroup yet. An image would be helpful. – Jack McKalling [ Grid Book and Quill.png Grid Diamond Pickaxe.png ] 18:52, 15 October 2018 (UTC)
