Feedback
Hello! I want to thank you for everything you have done for the Minecraft Wiki. Allow me to introduce myself. I am Tesla, a wiki manager for Curse. The reason I am posting on your talk page is for some feedback. I was hoping you could tell me if there was something you would like to see on the wiki or if you think there is something we could do to help improve the quality of our service to the community. If you have any ideas at all, please feel free to stop by on my talk page and leave me your thoughts. Thank you! Tesla 06:40, 28 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Salad bars. We need more salad bars.


 * But seriously. you might want to ask around on the community pages instead. I don't have any suggestions as of now.--Quatroking -  MCWiki Administrator  14:25, 28 October 2011 (UTC)

Mojang Tweets
Hello there,

Almost every Tweet by Mojang has a link in it. Can you wrap these links in  tags? I assume that it's written in PHP, I could help you out if you're interested. SirCmpwn 04:04, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

Requesting ranged block
The hitler spammer we've been getting for the past few weeks has been using the 173.245.64.* address range. Could you block the whole thing? – ultradude25 ( T &#124; C ) at 00:19, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
 * IP Range blocks are not enabled, and most likely will not be. Quatroking... archive your talk page... it's ridiculous. -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  00:23, 6 December 2011 (UTC)

Application for Dutch Wiki Admin
Hello Quatroking,

I don't know if you prefer English above Dutch. I talked with Wynthyst (Application Talk) about my application to become a Dutch Wiki Admin. Wynthyst told me to contact you to see what the most important things were that needed te be done on the Dutch Wiki. So my question. Is there something really important to do, that really need te be done? I'm glad to help to make the Dutch Wiki a better place. CrazyBliep(talk) 21 dec 2011 08:45 (UTC)
 * Lang verhaal kort: Vrijwel alles. We missen nog een heleboel artikelen en veel spul is nog outdated. Ik zou het zelf doen, maar met m'n studie en het werk op EN erbij is het voor mij simpelweg niet te doen. Ik heb je rechten aangepast naar beheerder en controlegebruiker, wees er zuinig mee :) Quatroking -  MCWiki Administrator  15:35, 21 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Mijn dank. Het is inderdaad enorm veel werk, maar ik hoop dat nu Minecraft in meertalig wordt, dit allemaal goed gaat komen. Misschien nu dat de kerstvakantie wat mensen aantrekt.

A question
Can auto-confirmed people patrol revisions? If so, how?

Unofficial Admin of Pokemon and Minecraft 17:17, 3 January 2012 (UTC)
 * No. Quatroking -  MCWiki Administrator  17:26, 3 January 2012 (UTC)


 * I'd be more than happy to patrol pages.
 * Unofficial Admin of Pokemon and Minecraft 17:28, 3 January 2012 (UTC)


 * We don't use patrolling. Not enough pages are created per day to even consider it.
 * Off topic: Why are you trying to use BBCode in a wiki? That's for forums. Your signature should also link to your userpage, and it's preferred that you actually have your name in it... – ultradude25 ( T &#124; C ) at 18:08, 3 January 2012 (UTC)

Help me
Доброго времени суток. У меня возникла проблема с регистрацией в русском разделе. Но видимо прейдется задать вопрос в этом. Вы не моглибы подсказать, как создавать шаблоны для рецептов крафта в mediawiki? Так как обычные изображения вставлять не очень красиво.

Спасибо за внимание.

Good time of day. I have a problem with registration in the Russian section. But probably pass away to ask this. You do not mogliby tell you how to create templates for crafting recipes in mediawiki? Since conventional image insert is not very nice.

Thank you for your attention.

Project Secret Revelation
Hi Quatro!

My name is Peter and my project name is in the title. I am the leader of this team of currently 6 strong, dedicated people who are helping me making the dream of a video tutorial for all things minecraft come true. One thing that I would Love is that my videos be integrated/embeded into this wiki so that users can see how the things work. If you can contact me through email it would be awesome.

Sincerely, SecretRevelation
 * Sorry, curse is already working on a large amount of quick tutorial videos which will be used on the wiki.--Quatroking -  MCWiki Administrator  21:16, 10 January 2012 (UTC)


 * It's fine :), I can still have my project page up though right? Because It'd be cool if people can find out about us here. We're not doing this for money, but for the community. So :P


 * Well, sure, but don't place the videos on articles. Also, please sign your messages on talkpages with ~ !--Quatroking -  MCWiki Administrator  12:24, 11 January 2012 (UTC)


 * User created videos are fine on tutorial pages, just not in the mainspace. -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  12:34, 11 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Ah yeah, forgot about that one. Vids are fine on tutorial and mod pages.--Quatroking -  MCWiki Administrator  12:53, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

Awesome! Thank you! SecretRevelation 20:49, 13 January 2012 (UTC)

Possibility to remove the annoying curse panel
I think that the sidebar of recent mojang tweets and community articles just uses up 306px, nothing else. On laptop screens or non widescreen resolutions, the article text is shrinked and takes endless time to scroll down. Reading is hard, as the lines contain about 10 words then. Please add an option so that users can remove this useless curse panel. This panel often keeps me from staying on minecraftwiki... The0JJ (talk)(contribs) 20:10, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

Curious about referencing your wiki in ours
Hi!! Me and a couple friend have our own sever running. we just recently started building our own wiki page. I find a great deal of help in your pages and would like to know if it would be ok to make direct references to several of your pages. Because some things can't be recreated without plagiarizing and I would love to give the proper recognition for work well done.

Thanks, Atrus

Please help!!!
I tried to put one image of a dungeon funded to a Stronghold in Stronghold page, and i have destroyed everything!!! .-. Sorry, i'm much idiot, but this is something serious? '-' I know I'm very noob, i registered to Minecraft Wiki today. :/ PS: I'm speak Portuguese, sorry my retarded English speaking.
 * I reverted it for you, no worries. Look a bit into the Mediawiki Documentation if you want to learn more about how the wiki works.--Quatroking -  MCWiki Administrator  13:20, 1 March 2012 (UTC)

Page question
Sorry I'm asking another question, but i creates a page about Crafted and Lamecraft, and in going to check and i don't found my pages, what is this? :/ and tanx by responding my another question

HecticGrape's Alt
Thank you for banning him and his alts. They caused me a lot of trouble last night. I do have one request though. You gave all of his alt accounts 3 months ban including one named. Could you permanently extend this one's ban? This alt of his is different as with its username it really cannot be used for anything but impersonating me. --Moxxy 06:37, 4 March 2012 (UTC)
 * I will consider that when the ban is over.--Quatroking -  MCWiki Administrator  14:48, 4 March 2012 (UTC)
 * I think you accidentally blocked Doggey in the process. He didn't seem to do any acts of vandalism. - Asterick6 22:35, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
 * An IP check revealed that he vandalised multiple times on an alt account. Taking his previous blocks in consideration, he is now permanently blocked.--Quatroking -  MCWiki Administrator  00:01, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
 * See what I told you... he's on a school IP network.. - Asterick6 04:44, 24 March 2012 (UTC)
 * I had a similar reaction at first, since Doggey seemed relatively well-behaved lately. But take a look at the alts, such as Special:Contributions/Doggey77 and Special:Contributions/Doggey64. -- Orthotope 07:32, 6 March 2012 (UTC)

Im not blocked anymore. It was because of a school computer and i quit vandilism got boring :D Dog gey  My talk page!!!

Requesting revision
Quatroking, can you take a look at the discussion at Minecraft Wiki talk:Wiki Rules? I think the revision proposal is beneficial. - Asterick6 07:00, 12 March 2012 (UTC)

I've updated it; please take a look again, and at the section below that one as well. - Asterick6 22:52, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

Update: Will you also take a look at the first section, Minecraft Wiki talk:Wiki Rules? - Asterick6 07:25, 14 March 2012 (UTC)

Thanks Quatroking
Thanks for dealing with all the vandilism and stuff on the admin noticeboard.THANKSDog gey Talk to me here:D

Hi!
I'm a new user here: DinnerBlazter1. I want to make articles in Romanian, but I don't know how. Because you are an Administrator, can you help me adding the Romanian language? -- DinnerBlazter1 14:26, 25 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Just start a project and start making subpages using the /ro suffix. For example, Minecraft Wiki/ro. Take a look at the other projects, especially the finished ones, and see how they did it. By the way, if you really want to take this on seriously, raffle up some Romanian friends and have them help you :) Thanks for contributing to the wiki!--Quatroking -  MCWiki Administrator  14:42, 25 March 2012 (UTC)

Would we need latin?
I was wondering is latin needed for a new project. I know its dead. But, I speak very well in it. Dog gey  My talk page!!!
 * Not really, I personally don't see much need in languages that aren't being used around the world in terms of populations.--Quatroking -  MCWiki Administrator  13:00, 26 March 2012 (UTC)

Ok. Thanks for telling me.i would have had to pretty much do the whole thing by myself anyway :D Dog gey  My talk page!!!

I can speak Latin too. –Preceding unsigned comment was added by Japejoop1 (Talk&#124;Contribs). Please sign your posts with

Suggestion for Wiki Rules
Quatroking,

I've looked though the Rules, but I haven't seen one about signatures or attribution on article pages. I think a rule regarding the use of signatures/attribution should be addressed in the rules. My suggestion is that signatures or any form of attribution are not allowed on articles and article sub-pages. Signatures are only allowed on Talk pages. I think this is a fundamental guideline that should be listed since new users might sign article pages or attribute edits in the Tutorials to themselves or their friends. Examples: ,

And to prevent further misunderstandings, the exceptions for the Known bugs sub-pages should be stated as a bullet under the signature rule to make it more visible. (I almost flamed another user because of a misunderstanding (and my failure to read the page guidelines thoroughly due to the long paragraph format on that page, or just my rushing through the edits and skimming). Hope you understand - Asterick6 03:08, 29 March 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't see any reason why this shouldn't. I've always known this as a rule and I think the majority of the userbase, including anonymous users know this as well. Quite frankly you surprised me Astrick6 by pointing out that it isn't written anywhere. --Moxxy 03:13, 29 March 2012 (UTC)
 * I think many (most?) people intuit this, but it doesn't hurt to have it stated explicitly. Maybe add it to rule #18, since that one concerns signatures already? -- Orthotope 04:07, 29 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Clarification: My suggestion is to help other users (account or IP) to know about the signature usage guidelines, not because I made a mistake of putting a signature on an article page and want a reminder. That reminder is for the sub-bullet about the Known bugs pages, which I did not know and missed the long paragraph in the beginning, which resulted in my removing of another user's signatures. (I'm getting a bit defensive for some reason...how immature...I'll need another wikibreak soon.) - Asterick6 04:22, 29 March 2012 (UTC)
 * You didn't come of as defensive at all. Even if you were I wouldn't blame you as a certain user who you've dealt with lately has pushed my anger much further. Anyways since me, Orthotope and yourself are all longtime Minecraft wiki editors and in agreement, I'm positive Quatroking would agree as well. If your solution is to make it more clear on the Bug page itself I would add it yourself and Quatroking can look over it when he gets on. On the off chance he disagrees with it he can just undo the edit. --Moxxy 05:04, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

And...
Yeah, I have two other friends that like Minecraft. I'll make pages soon. By the way, I saw you wrote on your User Page the sentence 'I am the Boss' in different languages. Can you write in Romanian? The translate is "Eu sunt şefu' pe-aici!" -- DinnerBlazter1 21:09, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

Oh, um, yeah, can I copy the text and images from an English article and just translate it? -- DinnerBlazter1 21:13, 3 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Start a translate project and gather up some people, then feel free to start translating!--Quatroking -  MCWiki Administrator  21:32, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

Why did you do this?
I mostly edit Indev pages. I have no idea why did you revert the page from my edits. I will now move it back, with slight changes, not ruining the page... Ldtvproductions 11:21, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
 * All information you put on the page is false; Rana, as well as the other mobs made by dock, never had animation because the model format never worked properly. Rana also only dropped apples, and her hitbox was throughout her body but not her head. Have you even played Indev, 2.5 years ago?--Quatroking -  MCWiki Administrator  12:03, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Actually yes, i did. When she steps in water, she stays awhile, and then she falls and disappears, dropping resources... So it maybe wan't 100% true. Animations were from Notches blog in a picture . SO that's it, i'm just a nostalgic player of InDev, scrapping some details i see there... But i have no idea how Rana came there before Dock - check the dates...

Great wiki!
Great job with the wiki! It's really good :) The only flaw I see in it is the templates for defining the articles (templates like needs citation, needs to expand, etc.) They are really simple and I think they have to be designed according to the wiki's theme, Minecraft. I think I could help the wiki in that... What do you think?

Anyway, all the community has done a really good work in maintaining this wiki :) Keep it up!

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)

Request for slower deletions
Hi, I was reading recent changes and I noticed your deletions of Forge design f5 and friends. While these pages do seem inappropriately named, I think it was inappropriate to delete them without discussion given that they were used by another page. I feel that such deletions can be extremely discouraging to new contributors, as they are then unable to recover their work, which might have been appropriate placed elsewhere. I request that in the future you consider, when such content is not an orphaned page with no explanation or low-quality content, requesting that the page be moved appropriately rather than deleting it with no warning.

I have no stake in or considered opinion of the project of which that page was a part, other than that it seems not inappropriate for the wiki provided it is moved to a tutorial section; I mention it only as an example.

—kpreid 14:56, 11 April 2012 (UTC)
 * I'll move them over to subpages of that project and leave them a note to make subpages instead of normal ones in the future.--Quatroking -  MCWiki Administrator  16:29, 11 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Sorry, my fault. But -this- is strange. -- Oliver Scholz  <font color="#77B33D">Wiki Admin 17:44, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

"We do not use votes"
Talk:Ocelot <--- Apparently, we do use votes. TrollGlaDOS 06:18, 17 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Pro-tip: Don't be a smartass, especially to a wiki admin. We use votes to get a general consensus on how users feel about issues on the wiki. It does NOT finalize any decisions. Especially when you think 7 people and a 4 to 3 vote is a decent sample. --Moxxy 07:35, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

Oaks?
Why are you going to use oak instead of apple? APPLES DO NOT GROW ON OAKS. TrollGlaDOS 03:16, 18 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Because we've been using it since forever. The attitude you show while trying to change the naming doesn't help much either.--Quatroking -  MCWiki Administrator  19:03, 18 April 2012 (UTC)
 * But it's incorrect! Just because we're used to it, doesn't mean it's correct! Look, if Mojang didn't intend for them to be apple trees, then they wouldn't drop apples. Also, what attitude do I show about the naming, anyway? TrollGlaDOS 19:24, 18 April 2012 (UTC)
