Collapsible stuff
Instead of maintaining a custom-built solution, is there any reason not to recommend the use of ? There's no additional overhead involved with it, since the code's included in core and is thus already sent on every page request. 「」· 16:01, 17 November 2015 (UTC)


 * Yeah, mw-collapsible sucks, which I why I originally wrote an updated version based on the script that mw-collapsible was meant to replace. Its main issue is it purely uses JS to collapse elements, which means there is a large page jump once the page finishes loading where all the elements collapse, this is especially problematic for anchor links, as you will end up further down the page than the anchor, as the collapsed elements above it have moved the rest of the page up. This also makes the page a lot slower to load if there are a lot of things on the page to collapse (you may recall the issue with the recent changes being slow when it was first changed to use mw-collapsible).
 * Other issues are:
 * It doesn't have the ability to specify the collapse button to be inline (we use that a fair bit).
 * It uses actual links for the collapse toggle, which is semantically poor and can be confusing to users (middle-clicking a collapse toggle will open the current page in a new tab rather than do anything sensible, for example). To be fair we use a span styled to look like a link, rather than using a button, so it's not much better off semantic wise, but at least it won't do anything but toggle the collapsing.
 * It uses silly low performance jQuery animations which don't work properly.
 * – 01:58, 18 November 2015 (UTC)
 * mw-collapsible is pure JS because if you use CSS to hide the content initially and then JS is used to show it after page load, viewers with JS disabled will be unable to show the content without using developer tools in their browser. Because of this and other accessibility concerns/problems, Wikipedia policy is to never put actual page content in a collapsible section, which is why the vast majority of collapsible content on WP articles is the navboxes.
 * I actually don't recall anything about RC being slow, since I haven't used enhanced RC for years. And I can't really comment on your other concerns, since I only have personal anecdotes I could respond with, and I'm definitely not a UI/UX expert. Mostly I was curious about why you were reinventing the wheel here, especially since you could just submit patches against core to have fixes and features added for all MW users. 「」· 20:21, 18 November 2015 (UTC)


 * Except it isn't because there's (which reminds me I didn't update it), to unhide the content when JS is disabled, and mw-collapsible would be able to restrict its stylings to.
 * In the end, even if I did patch mw-collapsible (which would only be possible for some configurations), I wouldn't see the change for at least a year, maybe two, since we're always on an old version of MW. So we either have no collapsing, or I re-invent the wheel with a ~100 line script. – 05:41, 19 November 2015 (UTC)

Edit or delete user profiles?
is using their profile as a fairly typical spam page. Is there any way to delete it, or at least edit it to remove the link? -- undefined 21:54, 20 November 2015 (UTC)


 * There's a pencil icon to the right of the profile text that allows it to be edited. Although, there's nothing stopping them changing it again, since being blocked doesn't stop you from editing your preferences. – 14:28, 21 November 2015 (UTC)


 * I don't see that icon on anyone's profile but my own; is it possible the ability to edit other user's profiles is restricted to Curse only? Had a few more cases of this kind of spam in the last couple of days. It seems like the profile system is rather flawed if people can put any kind of garbage they want in there and admins have no way to stop them or get rid of it. -- undefined 08:19, 31 December 2015 (UTC)

Random "red links".
Welp, just now, and I'm not sure if its just me, but random "red links" have been popping up everywhere. - ( 22:29, 17 December 2015 (UTC)
 * I'm getting it too. Nothing seems to be actually gone, thankfully. –  undefined/undefined 22:33, 17 December 2015 (UTC)

 * The issue seems to be with the class  having lost the blue override, thus defaulting back to the red default from somewhere before. This something I noticed on a few special pages before (most notably ), so I actually have some  (search "Stop the visited links") if any of you want it as a temporary fix until Curse/an admin more properly fixes the CSS. – undefined/undefined 23:02, 17 December 2015 (UTC)
 * You are basically right, KnightMiner. The command in question overrides the default a:visited color with red - I suspect it should've been  in that CSS file (whichever that is). Without the repetition of the class 'curse_account', the single a:visited behind the colon is "universal", not limited to the selection before. It's something Curse has to fix, and it's been introduced quite recently, so whoever did this will certainly know the right file :D --  23:10, 17 December 2015 (UTC)

 * Most of the images are licensed under Mojang's license for the textures (which allows them in non -commercial things almost freely), and CC BY-NC (which allows you to use and edit it, provided you give attribution and use it non-commercially).
 * Most of the newer files (either made by Majr or others) only state the Mojang license, so I assume they default to either CC BY-NC-SA + Mojang's license, or just Mojang's license, though I am a little unsure of which (but either one allows for non-commercial usage like above). – undefined/undefined 16:52, 30 December 2015 (UTC)


 * I'm sure all my videos fall under the Videos and Screenshots section of the Mojang lisence, so the use of overlay an item sprite on the video would be allowed (They will be used in Redstone Tutorials). It's just the block renders Majr has created, do restrict the use of commercial use without explicit permission. Basically I'm half way there to full permission. 03:00, 31 December 2015 (UTC)


 * That's fine. Any images which still have the license on them are outdated, they should just have the Mojang license on them now. – 10:39, 6 January 2016 (UTC)

3D Block Rendering
I am an Admin on a wiki for a minecraft mod, and I am currently working on adding a lot of 3D rendered images to that wiki. I found some of those 3D rendered block images that are on the page, and I am wondering what tool you used to make those rendered images. I'm hoping that whatever it may be, it is possible to upload any range of block textures, not just vanilla MC pics. ~Samwise (Functioning as Anon, so yeah...) –Preceding unsigned comment was added by  at 1:13, 03 February 2016 (UTC).

Release table clarification
This comment doesn't read well. What did you mean by removed? I added an additional level of closing and opening a DIV to match the level that table 2 and 3 are closed and opened so that the tables would end properly. Also, what did you mean by disabled and broken browser? Thank you. 06:53, 28 February 2016 (UTC)


 * Your summary made it sound like the wrapping was not working on your (if so, broken) browser. There's only one table (the computer edition versions), not sure what else you think is a table. Every tag is opened and closed at the correct level. That can be easily seen if you copy it into an editor that can auto-indent it. <span class=nowrap>– 01:06, 29 February 2016 (UTC)


 * From the looks of it though, within the main div for the editions there is an additional div containing the computer and console editions, plus a second one containing just the pocket edition (and Aeron's edit separated the PC and console editions). Are any of them supposed to be inside additional div's, since  adds a div as well? <span class=nowrap>– undefined/undefined 02:18, 29 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Edit, nevermind, it seems those are forcing the Console Edition to join the same line as the PC edition on large screens, rather than choosing the pocket edition. It does seem to do that anyways if they are all in a div together, though I'd assume that is be based on the contents. <span class=nowrap>– undefined/undefined 02:38, 29 February 2016 (UTC)


 * Each first level div is a flex group, pocket and pc/console are separate groups. As you'd have to have an ultrawide monitor (in which you probably wouldn't have the browser fullscreen), or the browser spanning across multiple monitors to get all three fitting side-by-side, it didn't seem necessary to move them to the same group (which wouldn't make any difference on normal screens). Of course, they were originally separate groups because we had 4 boxes before, in which case the browser across multiple monitors would be the only way to fit all four side-by-side, but no one would do that. <span class=nowrap>– 02:44, 29 February 2016 (UTC)


 * Wrapping is only failing between tables 1 and 2 but it works fine between tables 2 and 3 (Safari without fix, Chrome without fix, Safari with fix). I was just going to report it but I looked at the code and realized that tables 1 and 2 are technically part of the same group, while 3 is its own group. So I copied the same amount of divs closed and re-opened between tables 1 and 2 as there are between tables 2 and 3 and it fixed it. Safari is not broken, but WebKit has a much stricter adherence to the HTML5 spec than any other browser, and employs very little proprietary secret sauce in its rendering engine. It's most likely that the table bug is either ignored or automatically corrected in other browsers such as Chrome or Firefox.


 * And to respond to KnightMiner, as you can see from the images the tables don't resize the rest of the page with them when they sit side by side. So it is clearly a mistake, and not an intentional effect meant for wider resolutions.  04:19, 29 February 2016 (UTC)


 * "Tables" 2 and 3 aren't wrapping, they're separate blocks. Only 1 and 2 wrap, which is obviously not working on your browser. What version of Safari are you using? <span class=nowrap>– 06:59, 29 February 2016 (UTC)
 * ...What you said. I don't know your lingo but, yeah, tables 1 & 2 are part of the same block, and table 3 is its own block. The fix puts each table in a separate block. I don't understand why the first two need to be bundled together but the third does not, but for some reason that's borking the layout under Safari. The latest version of Safari is 9, which is only included with OS X El Capitan. The browser is updated in tandem with the OS. And I personally know that Safari 8 on Yosemite doesn't do this. So since the latest stable build of WebKit is added to Safari when the OS gets updated, I presumed that Safari's stricter-than-everyone-else's HTML5 support was to blame. Lemme check it using the latest WebKit snapshot...  10:55, 29 February 2016 (UTC)
 * (installs WebKit) Same effect in the latest version of WebKit, built today. However... I got curious and stumbled upon something interesting that makes this even stranger. I opened the debug console and edited the CSS entry for .edition-box, changing the flex entry from 50% to 51% and that also somehow fixed the problem (picture). I changed the dimensions of the browser window and the fix held regardless of how the page was rendered. I have no idea what that means because I stopped making websites before flex was an argument in CSS, but maybe you do. If you implement the compatibility fix this seems like a better way to do it.  11:34, 29 February 2016 (UTC)


 * Just wanted to say that I'm getting this layout bug on Safari in El Capitan and also on iOS 9. <span class=nowrap>– ᐸ <small style="display:inline-block;line-height:1em;vertical-align:-0.4em">  12:02, 29 February 2016 (UTC)


 * I've already explained why 1 and 2 are in the same block, so they can be side-by-side. Previous versions of safari didn't do this, because they didn't support flex (without a prefix), and thus always had each box on its own line. Safari 9 now supports flex, but is affected by a webkit bug, fortunately there is a workaround. Obviously setting it to 51% would "fix" it, because then two boxes can never fit side-by-side, removing the point of the whole flex styling, as did your previous solution. <span class=nowrap>– 23:13, 29 February 2016 (UTC)
 * I understand what the intended effect was, I just didn't see any reason for it. But I appreciate you taking the time to talk to me and digging up that bug report, good to know. And your edit to the main page fixes the issue for me, thank you. It's good to not have to scroll sideways.  00:17, 1 March 2016 (UTC)


 * The reason is simply to save space. On a standard HD screen, there would be a lot of unused horizontal space, which wastes vertical space. Compare: with and without. <span class=nowrap>– 00:28, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
 * (plays with the resolution) I see it now. Boy, you have to go way out to make it happen... and the site itself stops expanding shortly after that. Another suggestion: If the idea is to prevent white space, wouldn't it be better to swap Console and Pocket? The Console table has the most entries, and would take the most advantage of the space in a block of its own. Or is the current sorting of the release categories more important?  03:39, 1 March 2016 (UTC)


 * It made more of a difference when there was 4 boxes. The site never stops expanding, although the table does when there is no more content to wrap (which would be easy to fix if it actually mattered).
 * Pocket and Console take the same space, even when there is a development version. <span class=nowrap>– 03:59, 1 March 2016 (UTC)

Russian Minecraft Wiki
The Russian Minecraft Wiki currently lacks active administrators. I appear to be the most suiting, but the decision done by AttemptToCallNil on the 1st of May says that I could propose myself as a new admin only after 6 months since the decision, or after 2 weeks during when no administrators are active (AttemptToCallNil, the last admin, went inactive on July 5). I have to abide by the decision, but we really need someone who has administrative rights. You’re welcome to our IRC channel at #ruminecraftwiki, where it can be possible to direct administrative issues to you in real time (although timezone differences could be a problem).

The first two issues are: ["цвет-розы"] = {["поз"] = 95, ["раздел"] = 1}, contains information about the dye’s sprite. You need to add the “deprecated” parameter and create a new sprite name below: ["красный-краситель"] = {["поз"] = 95, ["раздел"] = 1}, This has to be made so the renaming goes smooth. (The InvSprite module is already changed like that because it doesn’t have protection enabled yet.)

 * Dimetric? Isn't it orthographic? | ( 11:18, 20 July 2016 (UTC)


 * Orthographic is generally flat to an object's face. But all these projections share the same 0° FOV so simply rotating the camera around the object gives the different projections.

"Toolbox" list on the sidebar
Hi Majr, from about a month or more, on the Italian Minecraft Wiki, the list of options under the "Toolbox" on the sidebar doesn't appear anymore. Can you help me, please? BTW, I forgot to mention the fact that module's documentation can't be recognized from the system, because the system want that i write the documentation in "ExamplePage/man" instead of "ExamplePage/doc", so how can i fix that?

Anti-spam Bot
Is it possible to create an anti-spam bot which automatically blocks users if they edit their user page with the text "garage door repair" and containing links to sites also containing that phrase? Half the users signing up are spam bots and not real users, and it's getting annoying to see such spam flood the recent changes log. It's extremely unlikely that regular users would edit their page with such text, so such an anti-spam bot of this nature would primarily target spammers. 14:26, 25 November 2016 (UTC)

Not only are they mirrored, but there are several other flaws, like the bottom of the evoker's coat is incorrect and both the evoker's coat and the vindicator's vest are too low down.

Minecart with Command Block Renders
Heyo, could you do some renders with the animated texture for the minecarts with command blocks?

Sections entry order on Module:Blocksprite/IDs
My thinking on this edit was that, in an unordered list, people adding new sections in the future would have to scan through the whole list to determine the last used ID (and, in the current case of the list being almost ordered, they might make the mistake of assuming the last item in the list is also the last used ID, resulting in a repeated ID). I don't really understand what you're saying in your revert edit summary, unless you're suggesting that the physical order of items in the sections list has an actual effect on the behavior/output of the relevant modules/templates (I would hope it doesn't, since this seems counter-intuitive, at least to me). That being said, I know far less about Lua than you, so I defer to your judgement on this. <span class="nowrap">「」· 17:38, 1 July 2017 (UTC)


 * The entire design of the module right now is not intended to be edited by hand. The physical order is precisely the order they appear on pages like BlockSprite, while the IDs are a link from a sprite to its section and are used so the module does not need to update every old sprite whenever the section order on that page is changed. Most people should not need to worry about those details though, just use the edit sprite tab on the sprite template page and it handles all those changes. <span class=nowrap>– undefined/undefined 20:04, 1 July 2017 (UTC)


 * Aah, fair enough. I haven't looked at (or even thought about, tbh) the sprite editor in quite a while, so I wasn't thinking about people modifying the module via it instead of manually. <span class="nowrap">「」· 23:32, 1 July 2017 (UTC)

 * Weirdly enough, nothing appears at all. Even more weirdly, since a few hours once in a while I'm getting weird redirect loops (console shows that it's redirecting me to the exact same URL I'm trying to enter) and tabs where I'm not logged in - in those tabs (which use http) both search and loading a navbox work properly (though images are still instart, and tabs in the source editor dont work either), console shows calls to the api:

Page without a name on Russian wiki
In late April, a malicious user,, somehow created a page in the Russian wiki’s main namespace that doesn’t have a name. Its ID is 103183; the only way to access content is via this link. and I tried to delete the page via API, but fruitlessly.

Requesting deletion of and  articles on the Turkish wiki as empty pages. There is no abuse filter preventing anonymous editors from creating new articles, like on English or Russian wiki.

No other previously active users have returned since then, so I am again going to request special measures to be taken. ? — <span class="nowrap"> ( | ru.Wiki Admin) (fka NickTheRed37) 15:00, 2 September 2017 (UTC)


 * Oh no, 5 vandalism edits in two weeks, it's the end of days! This is really not an issue, the wiki already doesn't have any active editors, so disabling page creation isn't going to help anything. The pages can be easily replaced with actual content, and if the title is useless they can be periodically deleted by the local admin or me if they don't turn up. <span class=nowrap>– 03:36, 5 September 2017 (UTC)


 * I don’t speak Turkish, but I have already translated one template’s name and updated it with the aid of . I can’t do anything with editing the actual Turkish-language content, but I will at least try to make vandals not feel like this is a good place for antics. Yes, what I have wrote here is a result of me being impatient on this matter, but I want to give the Turkish wiki the best conditions to grow. No editors doesn’t necessarily mean no readers, and a reader won’t be pleased with a blue link pointing to thin air or, even worse, an advertisement: this would create disappointment in that particular reader. You may not pay all of your attention to this problem, it will just distract you from more important matters. I am already an administrator on the Russian wiki, and I will gladly accept the new role on that project.

 * And yes, too much administrators is better than having no active admins at all.

You haven’t demoted Russian wiki admin on the Greek wiki after all (he is an admin there too).  is doing good work on cleaning new useless pages, but I’m sure he has other things to do either, and he doesn’t have access to all admin tools (GRASP was intended for fighting spam on Gamepedia, not as a transwiki administration).

 * That one and also 300 more similar sections. The Turkish wiki requires special attention (such as widgets and — more importantly in this case — abuse filters, which in turn requires local administrators), while GRASP, again, isn’t intended for that. You are already trying to work on too many wikis. As the Russian (or not necessarily Russian) saying goes, if you try to chase two bunnies, you won’t catch any of them (and yes, I have abandoned the Russian Gamepedia Help Wiki already, bringing my focus to the Minecraft Wiki). Also, unlike you, xbony2, I have talked with a Turkish wiki editor (and even created an IRC channel for that). — <span class="nowrap"> ( | ru.Wiki Admin) (fka NickTheRed37) 15:52, 13 September 2017 (UTC)
 * I pretty much only take care of a few wikis that need the help (about 10 right now). I'm not sure why we need extra help from the abuse filter to prevent the occasional vandalism, which has happened at a rate not much more than once a week (hardly a lot). To me that seems rather alarmist. That's like using a rocket launcher to hunt rabbits, as we might say in America, but it's not quite like that since blocking the creation of new pages by IPs has the potential to block useful contributions, which we could agree the Turkish wiki already has a lack of. As you don't speak Turkish, I'm not sure what else you could do to improve the wiki? Something about Widgets? You haven't been very specific about that. -  21:27, 13 September 2017 (UTC)

If you become proficient in Turkish just to contribute to this wiki I will be quite impressed. (I'm not being sarcastic, if you do that'd be neat. Good luck. From what I remember the Turkish language is in its own language family and there are little to no English or Russian cognates, so it's pretty difficult to learn.) -  23:30, 14 September 2017 (UTC)
 * The idea is not only to rename templates, but also place protection on some of them. Either way, xbony2, you are not doing anything on the Turkish wiki, aside of deleting pages, although you have possibilities to do more. I’m not going to argue any further, just admit that I’m more interested in developing that troubled section. — <span class="nowrap"> ( | ru.Wiki Admin) (fka NickTheRed37) 06:03, 15 September 2017 (UTC)
 * You are more interested; or rather, from what I've seen here, obsessed. There's only so much you can really do. If you really want to see this section grow, look around the community and contact as many Turks as you can. Also deleting seems silly. It's better than nothing; even if someone Turkish can't read the English text, the pictures are still useful.

Hi! I'm the admin guy from the Hungarian wiki. Today I've tried to fix the Version Nav template on the Hungarian wiki, and after a few hours of trying I copied the contents of the over there. Then I imported the 1.12 page to see if it works. My mistake was (probably) that I imported like 50 template pages too... Then I saw that the Template:Entities, the Template:Environment and the Template:Blocks pages are COMPLETELY messed up. After this I reverted the changes to the MediaWiki:Common.css page, and only copied only the section for the Template:Infobox. It didn't help so I copied the part with Sprites too, but they're still a mess. And I'd like to ask for your help: what could've been the problem? The importing of the templates or the edit to the MediaWiki:Common.css page? And if you have some spare time, could you help fixing it? Thanks in advance! 19:16, 28 April 2018 (UTC)

 * The module wasn't getting its arguments properly (at least partially because the system works slightly differently when providing arguments directly to an  call rather than to the template which does the call.
 * In addition to that, you were improperly handling the max level argument within the module: a number and a string cannot be compared, but can be concatenated, so it is overall better to just  the argument, store the result somewhere and use that instead of   every time. Oh, and indexing has its performance overhead, but indexing the   table may have much greater overhead than with usual tables. --  05:54, 21 May 2018 (UTC)
