Minecraft Wiki:Admin noticeboard

Freeing up Version template
For: ... I'm going to make copied versions: ... to free up that whole thing from its cascade restriction – the same idea as previously with ItemSprite, discussed in this topic.
 * Module:Version/Numbers, Module:Version and Version
 * Module:Version front page/Numbers, Module:Version front page and Version front page

It won't solve the issue with people clamoring for someone to update the front page, but it will help for updating Minecraft, Pocket Edition, Console Edition and Minecraft launcher (and probably a few others). – Sealbudsman talk/contr 15:19, 3 June 2017 (UTC)


 * As an alternative to having two near-identical templates that have to be kept in sync, we could change the main page to directors-only protection. -- Orthotopetalk 17:59, 3 June 2017 (UTC)


 * We could do that. We could also eliminate the front-page-template entirely by embedding the respective variables in the front page, I think. – Sealbudsman talk/contr 19:16, 3 June 2017 (UTC)


 * Because the front page was late being updated, I was researching how it worked when I ran across your updated Template:Version doc saying it wasn't used on the front page...yet it very clearly was in use there. Color me confused! I almost put a note on Majr's talk page in case it was by accident. So I'm guessing I caught it while you were in the middle of coordinated changes. If so, could you please leave a note here to say when you've completed it? Thanks! – Auldrick (talk &middot; contribs) 18:41, 3 June 2017 (UTC)


 * I forgot to mention: The front page still shows 1.1 in the Planned Versions table. I'm not sure who needs to update that. – Auldrick (talk &middot; contribs) 18:44, 3 June 2017 (UTC)


 * Oh my, sorry for the confusion. – Sealbudsman talk/contr 19:16, 3 June 2017 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure adding a separate template for that is a good idea given it is for the most part only used on the front page, and the other few places tend to be fine waiting a bit for the update. The front page gets the most questions waiting for the update anyways.
 * I think removing the cascading protection is a decent option, though an extra close watch on main page templates would have to be kept. – KnightMiner  · (t) 22:06, 3 June 2017 (UTC)


 * Directly on the page are: Version, FrontPageLink, Minecraft Wiki/edition and Minecraft Wiki/style.
 * Protection cascades further to: Module:Version, Module:Version/Numbers, Module:FrontPageSprite, Module:FrontPageSprite/IDs.
 * If cascade was removed, we could heighten permission on Template:FrontPageLink, module:FrontPageSprite and /IDs, and /edition and /style, and I think that's all. Then only other thing to keep track of would be Template:Version, Module:Version and Module:Version/Numbers. –  Sealbudsman talk/contr 22:29, 3 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Would a good idea be semi-protecting the remainder? From what I've seen so far here anonymous users don't make good edits to templates often, if they even get to them. --Hubry (talk) 22:37, 3 June 2017 (UTC)


 * I doubt that creating a duplicate template for the front page will solve anything because most users who complain about updating the version numbers complain only because the version numbers on the front page aren't updated. And Module:Version front page/Numbers still would need to be edited by admins. | violine1101(Talk) 08:30, 4 June 2017 (UTC)


 * Ideas so far:

To allow more people to update the versions on the front page, we could:
 * change the protection to directors.

And if we want to free up the Version template, instead of using a duplicate template, we could do one of two things:
 * remove cascade from the main page, raise the protections on other transcludes and semi-protect the version template, or
 * hard-code the variables in the page. (rendering the Version template mostly redundant)

Any thoughts? – Sealbudsman talk/contr 15:48, 4 June 2017 (UTC)
 * We could have an edit copy for the template, which would be semi-protected and used on the edit copy for the main page. The BlobsPaper.png 03:27, 5 June 2017 (UTC)


 * As far as I know, the only place where the current version numbers are actually used are the Edition pages (Minecraft, Pocket Edition, Console Edition etc). Using hard-coded variables would make the template pretty much redundant, wouldn't it? | violine1101(Talk) 09:39, 5 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Bump. | violine1101(Talk) 18:32, 7 June 2017 (UTC)
 * I believe you are right about that. – Sealbudsman talk/contr 18:50, 7 June 2017 (UTC)

CPU-intensive ads
Can we do something about the ads on the Wiki? Currently, the Minecraft Wiki imposes a heavier processor load than the Minecraft game itself! 108.254.144.254 20:15, 6 June 2017 (UTC)

 * Agreed. --Qwerty6811 (talk) 17:46, 17 June 2017 (UTC)

Someone needs to change the current version on the main page to 1.12, because it came out today. I don't have admin privileges so I can't.

 * Blobs2, please remember that indefblocking an IP address is considered a bad tone because this action, if the address is not static (which means the user isn't switching addresses after each connection), may cause other innocent people to be under the block. Unfortunately, it isn't possible to predict which IP address will be used by a malicious user next time. &mdash; NickTheRed37 (talk) 12:57, 19 June 2017 (UTC)

Image cacheing
Can anything be done about the image caching taking the better part of a day to refresh? It seems to me that when you upload a new version of a file, that should be propagated out to all caches, but this doesn't happen. Is the length of time we wait totally necessary? Thanks for consideration, – Sealbudsman talk/contr 21:04, 23 June 2017 (UTC)


 * Or maybe there a way to purge an image's cache, that I am missing? – Sealbudsman talk/contr 21:25, 23 June 2017 (UTC)


 * Does mw:Manual:Purge work? -- Orthotopetalk 22:35, 23 June 2017 (UTC)

 * It's cached by cloudflare, so we're stuck with it. –Majr ᐸ Talk Contribs 04:24, 24 June 2017 (UTC)


 * Hmph. Ok, I'm reading about it more, and the situation is acknowledged in MediaWiki's CloudFlare manual at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:CloudFlare#HTTP_purge, and reported at https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T64356: MediaWiki cannot purge single assets cached in CloudFlare. Booooo. –  Sealbudsman talk/contr 15:47, 24 June 2017 (UTC)
 * I wonder if Curse would be willing to throw resources behind getting T64356 straightened out and getting single-file-purge working for cloudflare. It's an open source project after all? And it affects all of Gamepedia. – Sealbudsman talk/contr 15:56, 24 June 2017 (UTC)

 * I've had that issue too earlier. It was really weird because my IP address is completely different and I'm in a completely different part of the world than what IP lookup sites give me.
 * Anyways, tell him to log out of Gamepedia and delete all Gamepedia cookies (MCW cookies might be enough, but I've cleared all of them) - I've done that and that fixed it for me. --Hubry(talk) 18:42, 5 July 2017 (UTC)

 * Some users are sent over an Amazon proxy to reduce page load time, which also changes their ip adress to that proxy. This should only happen for mobile users though, but it sometimes also happens for desktop users. (See also Minecraft Wiki talk:Community portal) | violine1101(Talk) 20:22, 5 July 2017 (UTC)

Bots not showing as bots
Bots such as are not showing up as bots in edit logs and Special:RecentChanges, aka b is not showing next to the edit which means "Show/hide bots" does nothing at all. Can someone tag bots as bots? – Nixinova   04:27, 6 July 2017 (UTC)


 * Bots don't get flagged as such automatically, and if no one requests a bot flag for them, chances are they'll go without. I've flagged Ffbot; if there are others which need the flag, please list them here and I'll flag them as well (this goes for the future as well). 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 05:22, 6 July 2017 (UTC)


 * (Also note that the bot flag doesn't apply retroactively: while future edits will be flagged as bot edits, edits which were made before the flag was added are still considered non-bot edits.) 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 05:23, 6 July 2017 (UTC)


 * Actually I have applied for the bot tag, while Majr rejected that.-- Ff98sha (talk) 05:53, 6 July 2017 (UTC)


 * While he can (and should) correct me if I'm misinterpreting his intent, my reading of your request and the subsequent discussion was that the refusal was about having your bot do extra tasks, rather than having it flagged as a bot. 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 08:39, 6 July 2017 (UTC)


 * Also, if the request was rejected to get the bot right, the correct thing to do would be to not make contributions using the bot instead of making them without the tag. I cannot imagine any reason why he would want your bot to operate without the bot tag.
 * What exactly is the bots purpose anyways? Most of the contributions I have seen are useless whitespace changes or other tweaks that do not affect the final rendered page. Both of these things are normally fine to do as general fixes while performing other actions but are rather pointless on their own. – KnightMiner  · (t) 00:02, 8 July 2017 (UTC)

Nearly a month ago, Emberbot changed the Hungarian wiki's main page that only admins can edit it. It does not matter if you have an active admin on the wiki. But because there are no, so there are only foreign admins can change it.

When I went to edit my userpage, I got the following edit message when submitting it: <pre style="font-family: sans-serif; background-color: lightcyan;"> • The text you wanted to save was blocked by the spam filter. This is probably caused by a link to a blacklisted external site.

• The following text is what triggered our spam filter: youtu.be • The following text is what triggered our spam filter: youtu.be/59EHuVsXYWc • The following text is what triggered our spam filter: youtu.be/mA8jsYzpcFQ For some reason, youtu.be links are blacklisted, when youtube.com links aren't. Why is this? – Nixinova   05:05, 27 July 2017 (UTC)


 * Almost every URL shortener is prohibited here, as there is no reason to use them. Saving a couple of characters does not make any significant difference, and they hide the true destination of links. -- Orthotopetalk 10:36, 27 July 2017 (UTC)


 * Can youtu.be in particular be reconsidered? From what I'm aware, youtu.be never links to anything except a YouTube video, and the part after the slash is the video ID - the same ID used by the full link. Even if it is not unblocked, it is YouTube's default method of sharing a link to a YouTube video, so it will continue to cause confusion. If it isn't removed from the spam filter, then can the spam filter warning be changed to explain that URL shorteners are blocked, and maybe link to this noticeboard or elsewhere with the reasoning and how to get the full URL? NickNackGus (talk) 03:51, 3 September 2017 (UTC)


 * While I will agree its Youtube's default method of sharing, we really have no reason to make an exception here, especially since it just adds one more way to link the videos which will certainly cause a disagreement over consistency in the future. If needed, you can always type video ID if the fewer characters are so important. – KnightMiner  · (t) 19:03, 3 September 2017 (UTC)

Adding confirmation tweet to 1.13 page
I noticed Badprenum share a tweet from Dinnerbone on the forums about the upcoming change in block metadata. Because the 1.13 wiki page only contained a quote from Grumm dated from March about him working on it I concluded that this specific (more recent) confirmation about the removal of block data values would be useful.

Replacing admins
, havent edited in 4 years,  and hasn't in 6. Isn't it time to replace them? – Nixinova   21:18, 11 August 2017 (UTC)
 * And has not edited for three years. The BlobsPaper.png 21:54, 11 August 2017 (UTC)
 * The current activity of four administrators (Majr, Orthotope, Goandgoo and Dinoguy1000, although the latter went missing for 4 days except yesterday) doesn’t pose any problems. But, if a new admin is ever required, I would directly go for assigning KnightMiner as the most fitting user for this role.
 * And, for the sake of interest, I will say how Russian wiki has solved the problem of inactive admins in the last 3.5 years (if you’re not interested, skip this paragraph). In the last 2013, most of the Russian administration’s veteran members (led by HEKP0H) practically disappeared, leaving only one administrator with somewhat stable activity (that is AttemptToCallNil, then still known as GreenStone). Four admins experienced some periodic activity since then (SYSanin235, Shahter40, Bloodhit and Atributz, and also Norrius, a former admin who was resigned in 2013 by his own request); they all went inactive, with the exception of Atributz, who returned in early 2015 and, after some inactivity, in recent months. Ivan-r was appointed via his own request by Wynthyst in December 2013 (apparently when AttemptToCallNil went inactive for a short time), right now he is periodically active. AttemptToCallNil was later granted bureaucrat rights in July 2014. After Ivan-r, four new administrators were appointed by the new bureaucrat: Asassin 1 (January 2015), BloodCaster (January 2017, after a two-year hiatus; both on my suggestion) and, on last July, Dand0 and me. Last month AttemptToCallNil initiated an unusual procedure: he chose eight candidates (one was later discarded immediately as an unreliable one) for administrator status, and opened votes for them. The result was appointment of the two last administrators. And now, at <s title="Corrected by author on 14:41, 14 August 2017 (UTC)">four five continuously active and two partially active administrators, Russian administration is probably the largest on Minecraft Wiki.
 * Anyway, back to the English wiki. The wiki’s policy states that

"Administrative rights are given to users based on them making exceptional contributions to the wiki, rather than by request. An exception is on other languages of the Minecraft Wiki which have few or no admins, in which case a request is likely to be accepted."

- Minecraft Wiki:Directors


 * This point of view is far from being implemented practically. By this point of view, KnightMiner should be already appointed an administrator by Majr or Dinoguy1000 without any request, but he isn’t, and any request for appointing KnightMiner would be rejected based on this policy, even if he is a good candidate for this. Also, the last administrator was appointed on April 2014 (that was Goandgoo), which makes the current administration seem a little bit old, unlike the Russian wiki’s administration, which has four new members assigned since that period, with one in 2015 and, after two years, a record number of three in 2017.
 * In short: I’m neutral on this topic, but leaning towards appointing KnightMiner, and also changing the policy. —  BabylonAS</b> (talk | ru.Wiki Admin) (fka NickTheRed37) 14:51, 13 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Side note: I'm surprised how many inactive admins on the Russian wiki actually still have their rights. On the German wiki, an admin is asked to retire if they are inactive for a few months. (See here. The actual founders of the wiki still have their rights, and Oliver Scholz is still involved with the wiki although he doesn't edit regularily.) Also,

"and Dinoguy1000, although the latter went missing for 4 days except yesterday"

 * What's wrong with being away for four days? | violine1101(Talk) 15:22, 13 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Nothing is wrong. It is unusual to be active every day.
 * BabylonAS@undefined I would support giving administrative rights to . The BlobsPaper.png 16:33, 13 August 2017 (UTC)
 * I would hardly describe my inactivity as "going missing"; I can still be reached via my talk page here, email, or on Discord for those who want to look me up there. Other than that, I make no particular effort to maintain any particular level of activity here, both because generally I only edit when I notice something needs fixed or want to reply in a discussion, and because I have to fight with internet connectivity issues on my laptop that make wiki editing far more of a pain than it should be.
 * I've stated in the past that I have no problem with promoting users to admin by community request, in spite of the guidance on MCW:Directors, since that guidance is quite old (though of course, Gamepedia staff would have final say on whether that policy should still be enforced, and I'd abide by their decision in that case). Similarly I wouldn't be opposed to demoting inactive admins after a suitable period of time (I'd default to one year with no edits or log actions performed), assuming notice has been given to the editor and a week or so provided for them to view and respond if they wish. In both cases all that's required is to ping me to ensure I see the discussion.
 * Lastly, if is interested in the admin position, I'll promote him; I certainly have no objections to that recommendation myself. 「 ディノ 奴  千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 11:30, 14 August 2017 (UTC)


 * I have no issue with KnightMiner being an admin. I do have an issue with pointlessly appointing admins when they aren't needed. –Majr ᐸ <small style=display:inline-block;line-height:9px;vertical-align:-3px>Talk Contribs 13:35, 14 August 2017 (UTC)


 * But, judging by Special:ActiveUsers, KnightMiner has only made 15 edits in 30 days (with only 5 edits in August). Other viable candidates, as I see, may be Sealbudsman or BDJP007301 (I personally lean to the former). LauraFi may be also a good candidate (and, if appointed, would be the first female administrator in a long time, if ever) but she only has made seven edits in this entire year (exempting a happy birthday message on [ my profile]), so I won’t push her candidature too much right now. —  BabylonAS</b> (talk | ru.Wiki Admin) (fka NickTheRed37) 14:54, 14 August 2017 (UTC)


 * Edit count is and should never be the only criterion. Also, why do we need more admins in the first place? | violine1101(Talk) 15:52, 14 August 2017 (UTC)


 * While I wouldn't decline admin, I don't think I would do much with it if it were given to me. My personal life has gotten much more busy lately. See my edit history, I've definitely had to slow way down. – Sealbudsman <span style="transform: rotate(-16deg); display: inline-block; top: -1px; position: relative;">talk/contr 17:34, 14 August 2017 (UTC)


 * I'm not entirely sure we need more administrators as well. Sure, we have several inactive admins, but that has been the case for awhile without the current ones being overwhelmed to my knowledge. I don't see the need of appointing admins simply to have more admins at this current time. Instead, I'd focus on if a user frequently makes contributions that would benefit from those rights.
 * On the topic of me being an administrator, while I would not be opposed to being appointed and I have had uses for the rights in the past, I am not sure how beneficial it would be at this moment. Most of what I'd do with the rights is technical stuff which is pretty well covered by Majr or Dinoguy already, both of whom are a bit more active than I am as well. – KnightMiner  · (t) 23:51, 15 August 2017 (UTC)

issues with responsive style at small sizes
Not sure what to call it - it's not the mobile style, but the normal looking style, scaled to mobile size. I noticed these issues on Firefox on mobile, but haven't checked other browsers.

Issue #1 -

The Gamepedia bar is half-overlapping the search bar. Makes the search bar finicky to use. It's been that way for a while, not specific to this MW upgrade.

Issue #2 -

The "Share" tab is raised up out of place. I don't necessarily care about that, it just looks funny.

Issue #3 -

The "Talk" tab often gets covered up by all the other tabs on the right. It appears that stuff is supposed to collapse into the "More" tab when the screen is small, but this isn't preventing Talk from getting hidden. That's also been happening for a long time.

Small edit war over Pocket Edition 1.1.6
There seems to be a minor edit war developing over whether there is a Pocket Edition 1.1.6 update. In an exchange I had with user, he reported that this update number was used in a special Store panel (picture) shown only to Chinese users. (The notice reportedly informs them that they will not receive the 1.2 or later updates in China.) This is apparently the notice mentioned in the August 17 Content Update changelog, which carries no update version number. I'm told the 1.1.6 version number does not appear on the main menu in China and there doesn't seem to be any evidence of it in the usual authoritative sources. Certain users have attempted to create a page for 1.1.6 and link it into the version chain, while other users have attempted to undo the link and mark the page for deletion. As a result, these pages are pingponging without discussion toward reaching a consensus.

The main problem is the August 17 Content Update changelog. It has no version number because it only updates Marketplace items; there was no change to the game. Someone said this was made possible by the 1.1.5 update making the Marketplace content purely data-driven, specifically so that new Marketplace offerings could be released between game updates. We haven't seen a purely content update before and therefore have no consensus on how—or even whether—to document it in the wiki. I think it's likely these updates will happen very frequently, so documenting them would be a burdensome task. Not only that, it would be uncomfortably close to advertising since these are content products being sold by third parties. I believe it would be helpful for the admins to weigh in on this question, and that it would put an end to the budding edit war. --– Auldrick (talk &middot; contribs) 09:03, 20 August 2017 (UTC)

Update the Main page
Many edits have been done on its editcopy, so the main page is already outdated (no New Nintendo 3DS Edition, Bedrock Edition, etc). See also: [ Diff with Main Page] <font face="'Open Sans',sans-serif">– Dentedharp90041tce 13:41, 21 September 2017 (UTC)

Renewable Resources update for PE 1.2
With the release of Minecraft PE 1.2, the PE-specific statements in Renewable resource no longer apply. The section can be removed.

The console section may also need to be reviewed with the console edition updates.

Forgotten section
You admins should take a close look at the section issues with responsive style at small sizes; it seems to have been relatively ignored lately. VeenM64 <em class="plainlinks" style="margin-left: 0.5em; font-size: 90%;">(talk • contribs • [ logs]) 🐷🥕☮️ 21:16, 24 September 2017 (UTC)

Template:Version says Bedrock Edition 1.2 outdated

 * You are doing something wrong. The template checked for Java Edition because you had not specified the edition.

Link to profanity and obscenity
In this edit, added a link to a Hastebin copy of the file Minecraft (Bedrock) 1.2 uses to censor words in chat. I felt it was inappropriate (sensitive kids might follow the link, vandals might cite it as a license to make similar links), unnecessary (since when do we link to updated program files from our history pages?), and a possible a violation of Gamepedia's TOS (indirectly adding profanity and obscenity, linking to material that violates copyright). When I removed it, Oldosfan reverted it with the edit summary "If something is a gray area, it stays up until told to go down *by the admins*". I don't think there's any such rule, and wp:Be Bold authorizes what I did. Am I wrong? And secondly, should the link should stay? --– Auldrick (talk &middot; contribs) 14:11, 26 September 2017 (UTC)


 * If something "is a gray area", there needs to be a damn good argument for including it in an article, and it being a "gray area" that "the admins" haven't struck down isn't such an argument. Or to put it more simply: if your only argument for including something in an article is that it isn't explicitly against the rules, you have no argument. 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 16:02, 26 September 2017 (UTC)

Slow Gamepedia
Note: I posted here because I cannot open Gamepedia Help Wiki.

Gamepedia becomes slow now, probably due to Gamepedia AWS Migration? Also, checking the console log, it shows these lines of log:

I don't think that Gamepedia Help Wiki has already migrated to AWS. <font face="'Open Sans',sans-serif">– Dentedharp90041tce 07:30, 27 September 2017 (UTC)
