Block request
Ultradude, I can't do this anymore. Please block me indefinitely once you read this. I won't be editing anymore, and I can't. I have a freaking addiction... and I'm getting this reactive mentality that no one's acknowledging me on my contributions. I don't know why it had to come to this. Thanks, and editing this wiki was nice. Keep up your awesome work and same with the others. - Asterick6 08:21, 30 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Are you sure? – ultradude25 ( T &#124; C ) at 12:47, 1 April 2012 (UTC)


 * I don't know man... I don't know if you guys appreciate me being here or what, but I don't think I have the luxury to continue doing this. It's taking up too much of my time, and I can't control myself. There's just too much stuff here to fix cause there aren't enough editors. I really think you need to recruit some more people. This isn't enough. Recruit more people please; from the forums, sites, chat, IRC, idk. - Asterick6 19:30, 1 April 2012 (UTC)


 * You've done a lot of great cleaning up of pages, which a lot of people can't be bothered doing. Although I think the problem is, you're too much of a perfectionist. You change a lot of things that make absolutely no difference (e.g. adding upper-case to template inclusions) instead of focusing on improving the article's content. Although you still do plenty of the latter, but you would have extra time if you didn't bother with the former.
 * I do this too, but I have the free time to spare (and I'm certainly addicted to wiki editing too :D).


 * While more editors would be nice, the wiki really isn't that bad. There's plenty of things that I wouldn't mind changing, but the world isn't going to end if I don't. Perfecting grammar and readability of articles is nice, but remember the common age for player's of Minecraft, it's mostly kids and teenagers, both of which aren't really going to care if the wiki is in perfect English.
 * Spend time on making sure the article has the content it should first, before worrying about other things. – ultradude25 ( T &#124; C ) at 19:48, 1 April 2012 (UTC)


 * It isn't commented on much, but the work you (and all the other regular contributors) put in is definitely appreciated. Wikis are a continual work in progress; we don't have to get everything perfect before some arbitrary deadline, so you shouldn't feel pressure to do anything if you don't want to. I know the feeling of getting too caught up in something; take a break from it for a week or so, and see how you feel about it then. It's just a game, not worth burning yourself out over. Bleh, having trouble writing fluently today; hopefully my point comes across. -- Orthotope 20:10, 1 April 2012 (UTC)

File:PoweredRail.gif
Hi, I fixed the File:PoweredRail.gif issue. - CrazyBliep   NL Admin  07:57, 4 April 2012 (UTC)

Deathcube
Hey you deleted my article about Deathcube and im wondering about that because it's on the german wiki for more then 5 months now.

Baba43 19:21, 4 April 2012 (UTC)


 * It's against the rules. If the German wiki isn't enforcing the rules, that's their choice. – ultradude25 ( T &#124; C ) at 20:01, 4 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Okay but why do you have this rule? Minigames are funny and there is no reason to forbid people to share their ideas. –Preceding unsigned comment was added by ‎Baba43 (Talk&#124;Contribs) 20:16, 4 April 2012. Please sign your posts with


 * Because this is a wiki, not a forum. – ultradude25 ( T &#124; C ) at 20:40, 4 April 2012 (UTC)

Could you make some renders for me?
Hey, UltraDude, I was wondering if you could render the [[Media:Enderman.png|Enderman]] with a block of mycelium instead of grass (Make sure you save it at a separate location, of course,) as well as an isometric render of [[Media:Codegeek98.png|my (codegeek98's) skin]]. I would like to use them for my userpage. JamesTheAwesomeDude 00:22, 8 April 2012 (UTC)


 * You already asked me once. I can do the skin, but not the Enderman. – ultradude25 ( T &#124; C ) at 00:23, 8 April 2012 (UTC)
 * You never responded the first time. (That's why I asked again.) Thank you, however, for the skin render. Could you make it high-resolution? (Please don't anti-alias it) JamesTheAwesomeDude 01:29, 8 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Yes I did. What resolution do you call high resolution? Also I can't actually do anything unless you give me the skin. – ultradude25 ( T &#124; C ) at 03:05, 8 April 2012 (UTC)
 * High-res: probably 632*1540. Also, my skin is here. (You can go to minershoes.com to find the skin of any minecraft user. All you need is their username.) JamesTheAwesomeDude 15:18, 8 April 2012 (UTC)


 * How's this? – ultradude25 ( T &#124; C ) at 20:47, 8 April 2012 (UTC)
 * The transparency failed. Other than that, It's good. JamesTheAwesomeDude 20:52, 8 April 2012 (UTC)


 * The transparency works, it's just when the wiki resizes it that it doesn't show up. For some reason the wiki just won't resize compressed images properly. – ultradude25 ( T &#124; C ) at 20:55, 8 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Could you upload it to Imgur so I can give a whack at the transparency issue? JamesTheAwesomeDude 01:37, 9 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Why? It's fixed, I just didn't compress it this time. – ultradude25 ( T &#124; C ) at 01:39, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Cool. Thank you so much! (Which program did you compress it with? Try GIMP.) JamesTheAwesomeDude 22:09, 10 April 2012 (UTC) EDIT: It's not fixed for me; I still have the wierd non-isometric rendering of the skin... JamesTheAwesomeDude 22:34, 10 April 2012 (UTC)

Clear your cache. - Asterick6 01:39, 12 April 2012 (UTC)
 * How do I clear my cache? I can't find the option for it, and I don't remember the shortcut for it... JamesTheAwesomeDude 16:37, 12 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Okay, I found out how to clear the cache, but [[Media:Codegeek98.png|the image]] still shows up like it did originally... (I did reload the page and the image, just to be sure.) JamesTheAwesomeDude 16:42, 12 April 2012 (UTC)
 * (sorry to intrude) the file is here and not here. – Scaler (t) 18:13, 12 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Ohhhhhh...... I thought you were going to replace the current image. Thank you for the render. :D JamesTheAwesomeDude 18:18, 12 April 2012 (UTC)


 * dude i got 1 for you with mycelium.Scarecrow1000 18:21, 15 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Scarecrow, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! :D (I just need the link...) JamesTheAwesomeDude 19:51, 15 April 2012 (UTC)

Hey can you do my skin here is the link 007a83's Skin. discard the yellow 007 ---007a83 05:19, 18 April 2012 (UTC)

 * Resolution, anti-aliasing. – ultradude25 ( T &#124; C ) at 05:37, 18 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Sill at a blank. sorry, but I guess yes AA and res I have no Idea ---007a83 05:40, 18 April 2012 (UTC)

Minecraft Wiki:Sandbox
Hiya! just messaging all other admins about my project, the Minecraft Wiki:Sandbox. This sandbox initiative is going to try to gauge what the community wants page-wise, and where they want the wiki to go. the plan is to use that, and see if the wiki can go that way, if our rules need improving, or if it is not viable to go in certain directions with the wiki. So, there will be many pages that break our current rules, that will be located at "Minecraft Wiki:Sandbox/PAGENAMES". I'm just messaging to request, unless it is blatant spam, please don't delete these pages. There is a system to delete these pages if they are too low quality, or not active enough, and a system to tell users what has been deleted, and why. as well as informing them if a page will never be reconsidered. This section of the wiki is to see if we can push the rules, and if we should we push the rules. I welcome other admins to help take part in this project, to see how the wiki can viably adapt to the community. Have a good day! :) --Kizzycocoa 22:26, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

block texs
dude can i heve the oldest wood terxure. thanks its for a texure pack. –Preceding unsigned comment was added by Scarecrow1000 (Talk&#124;Contribs) 18:19, 15 April 2012. Please sign your posts with

Template assistance
I've been working on a row entry template for the Mods page, modeled after Programs and editors/entry, currently at User:Orthotope/workbench. For the Required API column, I tried to make it use  if the field is blank or 'no', and   for any other text (ModLoader, Forge, etc.), but couldn't figure out how to make it work properly. As you're much more skilled with templates, I'm wondering if you can see how to do it, or if it's really a good idea (as it prevents using any other tc| options). -- Orthotope 08:25, 17 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Done. However I think allowing custom tc options would be better. Some things might only require API for some features.
 * You could still have it use no or yes automatically if the tc template isn't manually included which would have the best usability. – ultradude25 ( T &#124; C ) at 11:06, 17 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Thank you very much! -- Orthotope 18:08, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

007a83 User boxes
Why do you keep undoing my changes to the n00b box? its n00b not noob ---007a83 04:34, 18 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Not only is that wrong, but it doesn't matter what it is, it isn't your userbox to edit. – ultradude25 ( T &#124; C ) at 04:36, 18 April 2012 (UTC)


 * The link to clouds is alright, thanks for looking out for it. Pareidolon 04:40, 18 April 2012 (UTC)


 * ok I will not do the n00b thing but can I link the words in the user boxes to the page it best go's with? (only the build up good shot type ones)
 * PS Heres wht I mean Click Me


 * The links really aren't necessary. If people want links on their userboxes they can do it themselves. – ultradude25 ( T &#124; C ) at 04:53, 18 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Some of them don't know how to do it. I just try to help. I like this wiki its one of the best I'v used and I want it to be the best it can be. ---007a83 04:57, 18 April 2012 (UTC)
 * PS sorry I did not see that file I see the .png not .PNG sorry


 * Instead of going around adding things to other people's pages, perhaps you should ASK if they want a link? – ultradude25 ( T &#124; C ) at 05:12, 18 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Ok I will do that and can you read my thing in the rendering section ---007a83 05:24, 18 April 2012 (UTC)

Herobrine request
I was wondering, can you make another image of Herobrine, but with proportions matching the image of Steve? --Kizzycocoa 16:16, 20 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Ask Barracuda. – ultradude25 ( T &#124; C ) at 07:08, 21 April 2012 (UTC)
 * will do! thanks for the help ^^ --Kizzycocoa 12:58, 22 April 2012 (UTC)
 * just wanted to thank you for the speedy re-protection/fixing of the Herobrine/image page. Thanks!!! :) --Kizzycocoa 07:59, 23 April 2012 (UTC)

Image Mass Revertion
I'm sure you're fairly aware of the issue of people unknowingly re-re-reverting the same image multiple times due to their cache not updating. Is it possible that a warning could be added so that new people would know not to constantly revert images if it doesn't work the first 4 times? Or at least ask them to check the file size and image parameters of the picture to clarify if it really is the same image. --HexZyle from the Spiral Knights wiki 01:42, 22 April 2012 (UTC)


 * There's already one on the upload page, I'll see if I can add it to the revert page. – ultradude25 ( T &#124; C ) at 01:49, 22 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Done. – ultradude25 ( T &#124; C ) at 01:58, 22 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Thanks. I was getting tired of seeing things like this: NewSandstoneGrid1.png and even I've done a triple revert in the past. Let's hope it works. --HexZyle 02:03, 22 April 2012 (UTC)

No Categories Known bugs/Version 12w15a
Hi, I was a few weeks very busy, so I didn't got the time to change things. I'm a little bit too late to add some categories to the page Known bugs/Version 12w15a Could you add these categories Category:Gameplay Category:Version

Thanks - CrazyBliep   NL Admin  11:36, 25 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Done. – ultradude25 ( T &#124; C ) at 03:38, 26 April 2012 (UTC)

Minicraft
So I've come back to playing minecraft again (Damn it's addictive) and I hope I'm not overstepping the boundaries of my "retired" status. I guess I'm no longer editing the wiki as vigorously as I used to. I just casually come by here whenever I wanna check somethin' out and clean up a few things on my way through. If I'm going to be making a few small edits here and there, should I remove my "retired" status?

Anyway, that's not what I came here for. I know it's been nearly a month, but I saw you cleared out the Minicraft page, stating that it's not part of minecraft. I'd like to suggest the page's recreation. I really don't like to use WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS, but there is a page for Minecraft 4k. Sure you could say that it's more minecrafty due to the 3Dness of it and the FPS view is almost identical, but Minicraft shares so many similarities with minecraft in the game mechanics, rather than the visuals. It seems to be simply a top down 2D version of minecraft. The crafting system is what Mojang is designing the Xbox and Pocket crafting versions to be, and the fact that Notch likes his games to be mysterious and not leave any instructions for the game (let the players figure everything out themselves) means that a wiki page would be reasonably handy for it.

We even have a few modders working on it.

If you still say "no" to a mainspace page, would I allowed to set up a page for it in my userpage, and possibly direct users there? If so, what would be the reasonable limit to the page's expanse? --HexZyle 01:24, 27 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Minicraft is based on Minecraft, whereas Minecraft 4k is Minecraft, but made to be really really small. It is already mentioned on Notch's page, which I think is enough, but maybe you should hold a discussion on the community portal to see what other people think.
 * As for a userpage, well they're basically limitless, so you can do what you want there. – ultradude25 ( T &#124; C ) at 10:50, 28 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Hmm. Good point. And I'll see if I'm not too lazy to get round there and ask :P --HexZyle 15:30, 28 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Hey you're back! Btw, Ultradude when did you guys implement the new skin? It looks very nice. - Asterick6 04:34, 29 April 2012 (UTC)


 * I added it yesterday after lengthy discussion in the directors page. – ultradude25 ( T &#124; C ) at 06:20, 29 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Yeah, minecraft is addicting. You can find the minicraft page here --HexZyle 07:26, 29 April 2012 (UTC)


 * How about a few screenshots to make the page more populated? - Asterick6 03:54, 30 April 2012 (UTC) Btw, it's a good start. - Asterick6 03:55, 30 April 2012 (UTC)

Need an Opinion
Could you come to the Book and Quill talk page? I'm having a discussion with a user who's dead set on adding something that I believe doesn't belong and need an outside opinion --Moxxy 21:58, 27 April 2012 (UTC)

Thank you
I just found out you where the one who changed the wiki page look I would like to say thank you I love the new look just want to thank you.

Skin
Ultradude25, thank you very much for destroying the look of the Minecraft Wiki and turning it into an ugly, generic website that looks just like that Minecraft Forums! D:< -Anew742 –The preceding undated comment was added on 03:39, 2 May 2012 (UTC). Please sign your posts with


 * The Minecraft Wiki never had a 'look', it was just the default mediawiki skin (which couldn't possibly be any less generic than something Minecraft related). I would've liked to install an extension that allows you to toggle the skin from the options (or possibly other skins, if more designs were made), but Curse wants everyone using the same style. – ultradude25 ( T &#124; C ) at 05:19, 2 May 2012 (UTC)

Crash Template Additions
Thanks for your additions! But do you have any idea how we can get it to parse text that includes characters like "="? If there are error reports that include that character it screws up the template, and people have to add a second  tag themselves. --Mattrition 09:22, 7 May 2012 (UTC)


 * Equals are allowed if you already have a parameter passed (as long as you don't use a pipe character somewhere afterwards of course), so the easiest way is to just pass the numbered parameter instead of relying on anonymous parameters. I'll update the page now. – ultradude25 ( T &#124; C ) at 09:51, 7 May 2012 (UTC)


 * Oh cool, well that solves that issue. It's a bit annoying that we can't tell the template that we want to parse a literal string without forcing nonplussed users to use their own  blocks though. Thanks for the help! --Mattrition 10:56, 7 May 2012 (UTC)
