Curse?
You're not part of Curse. HotdogPi ⑬㊲ 23:15, 29 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Yes they are. Not all of the Curse wiki team is on every single wiki. They tend to focus on a few wikis rather than the entire team spread across all wikis. http://www.wikiswtor.com/User:Game_widow http://www.skyrimwiki.com/User:Game_widow http://www.falloutwiki.com/User:Game_widow  18:34, 30 January 2013 (UTC)


 * It would have been nice if the user had provided those links when creating their page. A new user claiming to be part of Curse without any evidence, not in the Curse rights group, and not on the Directors page, looked rather questionable. -- Orthotope 20:03, 30 January 2013 (UTC)

Install an extension
Hello im from the minecraft-es wiki. We want to install this extension.

Could you do it?

Thank you. --Trarsheise (talk) 09:34, 20 July 2014 (UTC)

Gamepedia points/level
Hey Game widow, I know it's not a terribly important thing, but my profile still shows me as not having any Gamepedia points, and as a result, being at level 1, and it's shown this since the update in which it was first added. Does it appear correctly for others (viewing my profile while logged out shows the same thing, so I'm leaning towards "no"), or is there something deeper going on? 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 20:28, 10 August 2014 (UTC)

Internal error when unwatching pages
Hello. These are the error messages returned when a user attempts to edit their watchlist. Reported by a user on the Russian wiki, I tested by trying to remove an entry from my watchlist (and received the same error messages) there and on this wiki.

Unwatching pages by clicking the Unwatch button in the page's options removes it from the watchlist without any errors.

2013 Minecon Cape contest
Hey Game widow, I just completed all but one of the "ways to enter" extra entry things (after no small amount of difficulty on my part) for the Enter to win a 2013 Minecon Cape contest, and it's now showing that I have 2111112 entries; refreshing the page hasn't changed this. I don't know if it's just a display bug and I only have 9 entries, or if something went seriously haywire and I really ended up with over 2 million, but if it's the latter, I'd really rather not be disqualified for something completely beyond my control. =) 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 06:23, 23 August 2014 (UTC)

About Chinese Minecraft Wiki
I've pinged minecraft-zh.gamepedia.com, I got 190.93.244.101. I found it is in Costa Rica. That's far away from China -- where most Chinese-speaker in. I know gamepedia use CloudFlare, and they have a panel point in Hong Kong. Could you switch the panel point to Hong Kong for Chinese Minecraft Wiki if possible?  a20001017 Talk 09:04, 25 August 2014 (UTC)

About Bots
Hello Game widow!

How could I make a second account with the same email in order to create a bot account?

Trarsheise   ►Discusión◄►Contribuciones◄ 17:29, 2 September 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm afraid it isn't possible. You could create basically a dummy account on googlemail which redirects to your primary email address and use that. That's the only relatively easy workaround i can suggest. — Game widow (talk) 18:08, 2 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Thanks anyway, I'll do that. Trarsheise   ►Discusión◄►Contribuciones◄ 21:23, 2 September 2014 (UTC)

SyntaxHighlight GeSHi?
Could we finally have SyntaxHighlight GeSHi enabled? The original request/veto was almost three years ago, and with Lua, I believe it is more relevant than ever; it's not like the extension itself is unstable or the like, given the fact that it's been used on Wikimedia wikis - including the English Wikipedia - for close to a decade now, and has been bundled since MediaWiki 1.21. Thanks! 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 04:57, 11 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Personally, I don't like GeSHi. Mainly because of its terrible class naming scheme which makes styling it difficult, but its also the sort of thing that I prefer to see done with JS. It gives you more control over what syntax it supports (no regex-based highlighter perfectly highlights all syntax), and you're not slowing down the page load waiting for it to parse a big script. I've been using Prism.js for ages and it works pretty well, and is really easy to extend (I added support for lua really easily) and theme. –Majr ᐸ Talk Contribs ⎜ 05:44, 11 September 2014 (UTC)


 * I'm inclined to agree with Majr here. But if you two can come to an agreement, i can act on it — Game widow (talk) 11:32, 11 September 2014 (UTC)


 * If you don't mind us using your talk page for it, I'll see what we can do, otherwise I can move the discussion over to Majr's talk page. =)
 * Majr: Like it or not, GeSHi is the de facto standard for syntax highlighting on MediaWiki wikis, and SyntaxHighlight GeSHi is the standard - de facto and de jure - for implementing it via an extension. While I can't speak for ease of styling, since I've never had reason to restyle GeSHi's output, I can say from personal experience that the added overhead from GeSHi's processing is so minuscule as to be nonexistent from a human perspective, even on very large files. (I'll also grant you the bit about regex not being suited for constructing parsers; that's not exactly a controversial notion.) There are other extensions for syntax highlighting, some of which don't use GeSHi, but I've never had reason nor opportunity to actually try any of them.
 * I am the opposite of you here; I don't care for JavaScript solutions, instead preferring something server-side. There is no good argument for not syntax highlighting scripts for every person that views them, and the only way to do that client-side is to include the syntax highlighting JS in a global JS file, in which case the overhead of loading the script is present on every uncached pageload. At best, you can write a wrapper function to check for highlightable scripts on the current page and then conditionally load the script if any are found. And if the script isn't loaded globally, it falls to each individual to discover and then add it for themselves, a straight-up non-solution: very few people are going to be interested in going through the effort, especially when they're already accustomed to syntax highlighting on other MediaWiki wikis Just Working&trade;. 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 16:00, 11 September 2014 (UTC)


 * I'm not one to advocate using JS where it is unnecessary (nothing worse than someone using JS for something CSS can do), however I would consider syntax highlighting a progressive enhancement. Even if GeSHi only slows down the page load by half a second, I would still rather be able to see the unhighlighted code that half a second earlier and have it be enhanced with highlighting a moment later.
 * Loading the script would be made easier if we had gadgets. But really, is this something that the everyday reader needs? On WP it's relevant where there are a fair number of articles with code in them, and many people are editing code on the wiki, but here we rarely post any code in articles, and any we do post is just small snippets of pseudo-code or Java, which isn't particularly important to have highlighted. Otherwise, its only use is for the (surprisingly few) editors that edit Lua, JS or CSS. Which they could easily opt-in (or opt-out, if we prefer it as the default) to a gadget.
 * I'm not going to make a big fuss about having GeSHi. If other people would also prefer it over other options and think it is worthwhile, then no problem. I can always personally overwrite it with more customised solutions anyway. ;) –Majr ᐸ Talk Contribs ⎜ 03:37, 13 September 2014 (UTC)


 * For HTML and CSS, I'd agree, syntax highlighting, nice as it is, is largely a progressive enhancement. For just about anything else (including wikimarkup; I have regularly found myself wishing the editor highlighted syntax for me, especially when editing templates), I would argue that syntax highlighting is much closer to a necessity. And when I said that enabling GeSHi didn't result in any noticeable slowdown, I meant exactly that: I don't think I've ever seen any GeSHi-highlighted page take more than a few additional microseconds to be rendered and sent to the client (definitely never an additional half-second or more), and as I said, that's even with having some fairly large CSS/JS pages highlighted.
 * In this case, I'm not particularly worried about whether the everyday reader needs. As I've explained already (well, alluded to rather strongly), the extension has been highly optimized so that it only runs either on pages with a  tag or on user and skin CSS/JS pages and Lua modules, so for most pages, there's no additional overhead whatsoever, and even on the pages it runs on, you would have to be comparing render times to notice any difference at all. I have found syntax highlighting important enough that I've specifically requested the extension be enabled on Wikia wikis I'm heavily involved in, right up to the point where Wikia started just enabling it by default (the two aren't related, I think), and for the most part, those wikis are not heavy on article-facing code snippets: one is the Yu-Gi-Oh! wiki, which AFAICR doesn't have a single code snippet in any article.
 * Lastly, when the extension is enabled, it adds the file MediaWiki:Geshi.css, which can be used to tweak or apply fixes to the highlighting behavior in some cases; Wikipedia has two such tweaks in their file. 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 07:10, 13 September 2014 (UTC)


 * I guess I just prefer gadgets over extensions because you have control over gadgets, whereas with extensions you're stuck with whatever it gives you. –Majr ᐸ Talk Contribs ⎜ 02:50, 14 September 2014 (UTC)


 * I am totally fine with you guys hashing it out here :) — Game widow (talk) 01:48, 12 September 2014 (UTC)

Problems with external links
Hello! I'm from russian wiki, and I have problems adding external links or calling templates, that have external links, example is License Mojang, that links to Minecraft EULA and Curse terms. When I click "Save Page", I'm asked to choose cats, but it even shouldn't ask it, because I am an autoconfirmed user and have right "skipcaptcha". When the cats are chosen, I click "Save Page" again. But it again asks me to choose the cats! I tried logging off my account, choosing cats 3 times, but nothing works. It began after wiki updated MediaWiki to 1.23. --Dand0 (talk) 07:11, 12 September 2014 (UTC)
 * And I have no such problems in English Wiki. --Dand0 (talk) 07:20, 12 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Usually that only happens when you are not logged in. I will look into it — Game widow (talk) 11:11, 12 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Related topic: I had a similar captcha incident (that used blurry words rather than cats), but only whenever I open this website, no matter what wiki, since day or so prior to the MediaWiki update. After the update or short time after it, the site no longer asks for a captcha. Also, I'm also a contributor from Russian wiki, but made an edit in the English wiki first. –Regards, Naista2002  ᐸ Talk Contribs 11:31, 12 September 2014 (UTC)

 * Dand0, that problem stopped on my host, and I already knew about that stuff being CloudFlare's. Also, in your signature, set the talk link to the english talk page, even if it doesn't exist. One that clicked the link may not knew Russian. To help with navigation, add an interwiki at the beginning — what I shall do right after posting this reply. Anyone can create your English talk page. –Regards, Naista2002  ᐸ Talk Contribs 13:37, 12 September 2014 (UTC)

Search function broken?
Hello, the search function of the Chinese wiki seems to be broken since the site has moved to the gamepedia domain, it searches English words fine, but when it comes to searching Chinese characters, no result shows up, this makes the search function quite useless since we cannot find what we want if we don't have the exact page names. I hope the Curese tech team can help us solve this problem. One more thing, for my profile and some others, we don't get gamepedia points at all, it is pretty surprising to see when the top editor is level 1 with 0 points. —Powup333  ZH Admin  00:04, 13 September 2014 (UTC)

I also know Curse isn't Wikia, but would like to point out that Wikia does provide database dumps (you can either download or request a dump of any wiki from that wiki's Special:Statistics page), so in that sense, there is some precedent for it.

 * It was concluded before that this user group is unnecessary. The group's intended purpose was to revert and/or delete all vandalism (and leave all methods of preventing it, such as abuse filters and blocks, to administrators). As vandalism is now mostly neither frequent nor severe (an occasional anonymous user adding profanity or gibberish, or removing some text, is far less significant than no longer active IP-changing vandals making many edits without any patterns, or large groups of registered vandals targeting semiprotected pages; a relatively recent incident with a registered user blanking articles is a situation when someone needs to block him quickly, not revert him until he stops), I think no additional countermeasures are required. --GreenStone (talk) 21:54, 15 September 2014 (UTC)

General issues
I was about to post an error report about what I see when using the wiki in Firefox 32 (and what some other users confirm as well). The sidebar sometimes loads partially (its initially collapsed sections may not be expandable), search suggestions don't appear, the advanced edit toolbar is gone.

Then I tried Opera 12.17. Everything worked fine.

I asked our users to test these functions and report the results including information about the browsers they used for testing. The results are in the table below:

Social network popups
They can't be interacted with in any way. All buttons in the popups are reported to do nothing when clicked, and that includes the Close button. That may make editing the wiki impossible for some users.

In addition to that, many social networks more common in Russia are not supported by these social functions. Several wiki users said that they do not see any reasons why these popups shouldn't be disabled as soon as possible.

We found these reasons to disable them for the Russian wiki:
 * 1) Bugged. Even if they're fixed now, in case of another update they may become unusable again.
 * 2) As mentioned above, country-specific social networks are not supported.
 * 3) Annoying to those who don't want to share links to their contributions. And an account is required to disable them.
 * 4) I do not use social networks, but some users say that they find the popups redundant, and that we have the Share tab on almost every page.

We found no reasons to leave them. Therefore, if the popups can't be disabled, we need to know why. --GreenStone (talk) 13:51, 5 October 2014 (UTC)
 * I'll see what I can do about the social pop-ups. I can certainly understand that the services listed there are of little use to Russian contributors. — Game widow (talk) 00:50, 6 October 2014 (UTC)

Page edit attempt on german Wiki crashes the site....
Hello Game Widow.

I have to admit that I am most likely the culprit for a few "crashes", at least of the german Minecraft Wiki, in the last two days. Now, i did not realize it's my edit attempt that brings the site down, of course, but I guess it did, as the problem's reproduceable.

Now for the facts: There is a talkpage over there that whenever I try to edit (remove two occurences of ':de:' that won't resolve on the german wiki and lead to redlinks instead of pointing towards the userpage as intended) causes strange problems: I suspect a database problem there. I might've been successful in deleting the whole talkpage, but I decided better to hand this over to you (and from there to the techs) so that the error can be fixed instead of circumvented.
 * 1) the edit itself runs for a while (until timeout, I guess), then terminates with an error page saying the Wiki is down
 * 2) While the edit runs, the "diff" of it is visible in the recent changes and in the version history of the talkpage
 * 3) Once the edit timeouts, all Access to the wiki temporarily stops (site unreachable - warning)
 * 4) When the site's back, both the version history and the recent changes are back to what they were before, the talkpage unaltered.

I hope the problem's fixable. If there's any additional information you need, just ask ;) --CalebBlackhand (talk) 08:18, 10 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Addendum: Funny thing is, the filter logs still show the edits that are no longer there. Example: de:Spezial:Missbrauchsfilter-Logbuch/85529. --CalebBlackhand (talk) 09:12, 10 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Near as i can tell, the problem is being caused the one or more of the abuse filters — Game widow (talk) 11:34, 10 October 2014 (UTC)
 * That's strange, as they don't stop me doing stuff on every other page I try... but then again, I have no access to any error log, so I cannot know. --CalebBlackhand (talk) 11:35, 10 October 2014 (UTC)
 * The filters being triggered are specific to talk pages: filters 14 and 15 — Game widow (talk) 11:37, 10 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes, I know. 14 is 'Missing signature on talkpage", action 'Warn', and 15 is more or less the same, just with action 'Tag edit'. Both work/worked unchanged for quite a while, and both still work flawlessly on other talkpages. For example, I triggered #15 with this edit and had no problem there. --CalebBlackhand (talk) 11:46, 10 October 2014 (UTC)
 * It's easy enough to test, since we are both online right now. Try disabling filter 15 (or i can, if you can't) and try the problematic edit again — Game widow (talk) 11:49, 10 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Good idea. I deactivated both 14 and 15, and got precisely the same result, just without the entry in the Filter log (which I naturally expected to be missing, seeing that the filter's off). de-Minecraft-Wiki was offline for a few moments as well. --CalebBlackhand (talk) 11:54, 10 October 2014 (UTC)
 * OK, thanks for testing that. I will report the issue and get the ball rolling — Game widow (talk) 12:02, 10 October 2014 (UTC)
 * I'll leave the filters off for now, will be reactivated once this mess is sorted out by the techs. Good luck to them, and my thanks to you for forwarding this. --CalebBlackhand (talk) 12:06, 10 October 2014 (UTC)

Just FYI: I've been told about a second page showing the very same symptoms, (currently a redirect). Just tested it, of course - yes, it's indeed crashing the site. Fun. As there's an author planning to do some editing under that title, my question is: Do the techs need another page to play with (in that case I'll let it be) or can I try and delete the page so that the user can start over, hopefully with a working page? --CalebBlackhand (talk) 11:19, 16 October 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm sure any additional pages help with testing, but the tech team won't be in the office for several hours yet. I'll collar one of them as soon as i find one and try to get an update — Game widow (talk) 11:21, 16 October 2014 (UTC)
 * The problem has been identified and fixed for the two pages you linked. The affected pages are on the watchlists of multiple merged users with renames pending, but those users have never logged back in. If they come back and log in, the problem resolves itself, but if they don't and you try to edit the page, the wiki tries to rename them all at once and that causes the crash.
 * Unfortunately, we can only fix the pages as you identify them, there is no way we can safely identify them all at once. — Game widow (talk) 18:07, 16 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the information, and the fix. It's always good to know the reason of such crashes (and this is an obscure problem - congratulations to the techs for finding it). If we know that such pages need to be reported, that's fine with me. I'll inform our users to report such pages on our admin-board, and one of the german admins can then forward the information to you (for further forwarding to the techs, I assume). Or would you prefer another way? I'm open for suggestions. --CalebBlackhand (talk) 20:04, 16 October 2014 (UTC)


 * Would it be possible to delete the watchlists of those users? It's been over a year since the migration, and if they haven't logged in yet, there's a good chance they're not going to ever. -- Orthotopetalk 20:22, 16 October 2014 (UTC)

Problem
Hi. I think I've found a problem related to confirming an email address in the Preferences page. When I first created my account, I made typo in the email address that I didn't notice for about ten days. When I first noticed the typo, I changed my email address. But when I tried to confirm my email address, and see if Curse sent a verification code to my email, I didn't see one. So I decided to resend the verification email, but it still didn't show up. So I'm assuming the verification emails got sent to the other account. Any ideas? <font face="Minecraft">-JEC 6789 (T 14:27, 3 November 2014 (UTC)

Minecraft Wiki namespace shortcut
The names of pages in the Minecraft Wiki namespace, including the "Minecraft Wiki:" bit, appear to be too long. While redirects can be created, the most effective way involves making a namespace shortcut.

 * Actually, I just noticed while his gamepedia profile works, his user profile here does not work, and his contributions page claims he is not registered. Past edits by him still do show his username though.
 * Also, I am not sure how relevant this is, but his username displays as "Jeb_mojang", while all other users with underscores in their names display them as spaces. – KnightMiner  (t·c) 18:53, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

Common files database
Is it possible to make wikis use the same files, like is made on Terraria wiki (All wikis can use files from the English one) and Wikipedia Commons? And as far as I know it's possible to use files from Cursetech commons, isn’t it? I am just interesting. --dand0 (talk) 16:43, 22 January 2015 (UTC)


 * There were thoughts about having something like that (see User talk:Endernose). KnightMiner? I’m Nick</b> the</b> Red37</b>, a ru.wiki mod f.k.a. Naista2002 </b> 16:52, 22 January 2015 (UTC)

 * In the past we had a shared database, the problems included a file randomly breaking (especially after uploading a new version or moving it) and files changing without a log (due to every wiki calling them separately). In order for it to work, it would likely require a commons wiki for the files, plus commons administrators to manage the files, then all wikis pulling files from that wiki, rather than the english. – KnightMiner  (t·c) 20:05, 22 January 2015 (UTC)
 * That is unlikely to happen, but I can ask — Game widow (talk) 20:06, 22 January 2015 (UTC)


 * I would also advise bringing it up on the director's page, to see if the various administrators from the other wikis want it. – KnightMiner  (t·c) 20:12, 22 January 2015 (UTC)

 * You don't use an element because its styling happens to be convenient. The TT tag just happens to not have any styling in MW, probably because you're not supposed to be using it in the first place. The fact that it doesn't work on your mobile further proves this point. If you don't want a background (code will also have a border and some padding in the next version), then add some styling to remove it. –Majr ᐸ <small style=display:inline-block;line-height:9px;vertical-align:-3px>Talk Contribs 01:29, 3 March 2015 (UTC)

Sprite sheet extension/functionality
Hey Game Widow, the sprite sheet editor should not be enabled on all files by default; it should be explicitly opt-in (whether through a wikitext switch of some sort or through an interface mechanism similar to page protection; either way, it should come with a way to see what files have had it enabled). Most of the log entries for sprite sheet changes appear to be random users experimenting on random files, which has the potential to confuse editors since changing a file's sprite sheet triggers an enotif if the file is on your watchlist (and potentially shows the file as changed in your watchlist, though I haven't checked to confirm), but no entry appears on the file's history, only on its logs page.

In addition, the functionality makes it more difficult to directly access the file, by preventing being able to simply click on it (which, now that I mention it, is where I suspect some of the "test" log entries are coming from); even for files where the sprite sheet functionality is enabled, then, editing of the sheet should be a mode that you have to enable after viewing the file (e.g. a link that says "edit sprite sheet" or similar, that enables the mode when clicked).

Lastly, this is probably not something that just any editor should be able to change. If the functionality is intended to replace the sprite data modules we currently use, as it seems, it isn't something most editors need to touch, and instead should be behind a usergroup (admin would work, though preferably there would be a dedicated "spritesheet editor" usergroup or the like that could be handed out to editors who express interest in helping to maintain the sprite sheets).

I'm just telling you this so you can pass it on to the team responsible for this functionality. Thanks! =) 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 20:33, 29 March 2015 (UTC)

 * I don't believe that's what Knight was trying to do here, and it's definitely not what I was trying to do. When I started this discussion, I was honestly unaware of the other discussions that had already been started, and there were no other relevant discussions here on your talk page; it honestly never occurred to me that there would be discussions elsewhere (except maybe on the community portal or admin noticeboard), and since I understand you to be essentially our community liaison with Curse, I also never thought to report the issues anywhere else. With Knight's links, I believe he was merely interlinking the discussions to ensure everyone was aware of all of them, not trying to gang up or anything of the sort.
 * I understand that it could be frustrating finding that several editors have reported the same thing through multiple avenues in a short timespan, and apologize for whatever confusion it may have caused with the platform team or the Curse employees who directly handled the discussions, but it's no excuse for accusing us of colluding towards some unknown means, and would appreciate a little good faith in the future if something like this manages to happen again (hopefully it won't; now that I'm aware of other potential locations people report these things at, I'll definitely be more careful myself about reporting something that's already been reported). 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 19:17, 30 March 2015 (UTC)

Another user rename
ru:user:MinecraftPCandPE recently decided to rechristen himself as GRAND RADION and therefore wants his account renamed.

@MinecraftPCandPE/GRAND RADION: Please be prepared to deal with various problems, and do instructions given at Account Name Change topic above. —  <b style=color:green;font-family:sans-serif>NickTheRed37</b> t/c (f.k.a. Naista2002) </i> 17:07, 3 April 2015 (UTC)


 * Backlink. —  <b style=color:green;font-family:sans-serif>NickTheRed37</b> t/c (f.k.a. Naista2002) </i> 17:10, 3 April 2015 (UTC)


 * No need, the requested username is open. I've changed your global account name, please log out of the wiki (and maybe delete your cookies just for good measure) and then log in with your new username (GRAND_RADION), keeping in mind it is case sensitive.

 * Whose account was renamed? When I first read the reply, I was scared that my account might have renamed. &mdash; <b style=color:green;font-family:sans-serif>NickTheRed37</b> t/c (f.k.a. Naista2002) </i> 12:17, 4 April 2015 (UTC)

Is GRAND RADION’s account really renamed (and PC Minecraft’s too)? —  <b style=color:green;font-family:sans-serif>NickTheRed37</b> t/c (f.k.a. Naista2002) </i> 15:28, 19 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Yes, the user formerly known as ru:user:MinecraftPCandPE is now ru:user:GRAND_RADION. –Preceding unsigned comment was added by CrsBenjamin (talk • contribs) at 18:13, 20 April 2015 (UTC). Please sign your posts with
 * No. The profile is really not renamed (it stays at MinecraftPCandPE). Same with 16572. &mdash; <b style=color:green;font-family:sans-serif>NickTheRed37</b> t/c (f.k.a. Naista2002) </i> 10:24, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Well, that's bizarre. At this point there's no record for User:MinecraftPCandPE in our records. Have they logged out of the wiki entirely, cleared cache and re-logged? If so, I may need to get our dev team to investigate. I definitely re-named the account at the global level. I'm unclear what "16572" refers to?

 * "16572" refers to User:16572 who wants to be called "PC Minecraft" as they were before the Gamepedia migration. See here and here. – KnightMiner  t/c 15:12, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
 * According to this, 16572 was issued a re-name credit and just needs to log out/in on Gamepedia.com. I'll follow up on it though, thanks! CrsBenjamin - (talk) [[File:User_Wynthyst_sig_icon.png]] 15:18, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Upon further investigation, I need User:16572 to simply create the Curse account (s)he wants to use and let me know once that's done (and they've logged into MCW at least once). CrsBenjamin - (talk) [[File:User_Wynthyst_sig_icon.png]] 16:16, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
