Minecraft Wiki:Admin noticeboard

The Admin noticeboard is one way through which users can notify administrators of issues needing administrative attention. While users are welcome to directly contact specific administrators (especially if they are seen to be active), posting here can be an easier and quicker way of ensuring that at least one admin will notice an issue and respond to it promptly. Remember to sign when posting an issue.

Before posting an issue here, consider the following:
 * As this is a noticeboard and not a talk page, please refrain from discussing.
 * Post only issues that require administrative action, i.e. blocking vandals, protecting pages, restoring deleted pages etc.
 * Do not post deletion requests here. Deletion requests should be made by adding  to the top of the target page, which will then automatically mark the page as a candidate for deletion.
 * Do not post issues regarding content disputes. Try making a request for comments instead.
 * Mediation requests between users should only be made if a resolution could not be reached between users.

In case of vandalism, posting about it here is low priority. Revert it first, anyone can do so. If the vandal created a new page, tag it for deletion. Assume good faith and consider leaving a message on that user's talk page to explain the reason. Post here only if the user has made several disruptive edits and/or persists despite a warning. Always avoid a revert war with the vandal; it is far better to wait until an admin has a chance to intervene.

Pocket Edition upcoming features
Excessive amount of vandalism in the last few days, by both IPs and registered users. It'll probably die down once the next version comes out, but some level of protection until then would be nice. -- Orthotope 06:56, 18 April 2012 (UTC)
 * There have been literally dozens edits that have contributed absolutely nothing to that page. I've undone so many revisions on that page as almost all the other pages combined as of late. --Moxxy 15:20, 18 April 2012 (UTC)


 * There were many disruptive edits and vandalism in the past few days as well. - Asterick6 21:43, 12 May 2012 (UTC)
 * I can't help but notice that no one has addressed the users making these edits directly. The best way to teach people how to use and edit the wiki properly is to TALK to them. Go to their user talk pages and have a discussion with them, or go to the talk page associated to the disputed edits and TALK about it. I see a lot of requests for protection of pages, but zero attempt to educate and inform users. Page protection should be an absolute LAST RESORT, not a first line of defense. -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  05:50, 13 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Well, I guess could import some message templates from WP to use; that way it might be faster to edit/inform editors. - Asterick6 (talk) 08:27, 15 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Update: They are at template:uwd and template:uwv. - Asterick6 (talk) 09:24, 15 June 2012 (UTC)

Flooding recent changes with edits to his obbsession Herobrine and "stealing" Calinou's signature colors.--88.110.125.221 21:20, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

 * Yeah, but he was doing it in smaller edits. He should have just done it in one go.88.110.123.0


 * It's just a little mistake. You should have told him that and not report him and stealing color signatures isn't a crime. How do you think I got my signature. I edited many other peoples signatures to make mine.:D .Enderman.png  | DoGgEy |   Talk

Req: Wiki Table CSS Tweak
[Apologies if this isn't the right place, and please let me know where I should report it instead, thx. --Simons Mith 22:14, 29 June 2012 (UTC)]

Here's a typical full-width wiki table. Note that compared to the surrounding text it is flush with the text on the left, but inset by about an em on the right. Small as it is, that extra bit of right-hand space would be useful in several places, so can the table be made about an em wider? That would make it the same width as the surrounding text, and then it would line up on both sides. Checking various other tables and box-like entities in the wiki, the table code does appear to be the odd man out.

See also the example below, with a table right next to an image. The gap between table and image is wider than I think it should be. I suspect the right margin on the table isn't quite right. Note how the right-aligned thumbnail is flush right with the text, and that seems to be the case for every right-floating wiki box I have found.


 * Setting the table to take up the whole screen will ignore the margin, or you could remove the margin in the particular table you don't want it in; but the margin has to stay there normally so things floating next to it won't look weird.


 * Also, the margin between the table and the image would be exactly the same even if you removed all the table's margin. When two margins meet they combine, so since thumbnails have a larger margin than the table, its margin is essentially ignored. –ultradude25 (T&#124;C) at 02:26, 30 June 2012 (UTC)


 * I think you may be mistaken about that - I don't believe the CSS box model gives overlaps in the way you describe, but I haven't had a chance to mock up a test to double-check yet. Similarly you should still get margins even if you set an element to full page width. --82.69.54.207 01:19, 2 July 2012 (UTC)


 * You're wrong in both cases. We use full-width tables in various places on the wiki and the margins are ignored, see this image the table's margin is outside the content div. Additionally, you can clearly see in this image that the table is right up against the thumbnail's margin. You can try removing the right margin from the table and you'll see it stays in exactly the same place. –ultradude25 (T&#124;C) at 04:20, 2 July 2012 (UTC)

CATPTCHA not working
That darn CATPTCHA triggered when doing some edits as anon IP doesn't work. Even when selecting all the cats, it's triggered again and again.
 * Yes - I can tell cats from dogs.
 * No - I cannot login since I'm at work and want to stay more or less anonymous while procrastinating at work. --80.134.11.253 08:02, 4 July 2012 (UTC)


 * It doesn't seem to work in IE9. Use something else. –ultradude25 (T&#124;C) at 08:06, 4 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Using FF 13.0 all the time... --80.134.11.253 08:20, 4 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Don't know then. IE9 is the only browser that's ever been reported as having a problem. –ultradude25 (T&#124;C) at 08:30, 4 July 2012 (UTC)
 * FF has a few issues at times from what i have seen first hand. Mostly with web sites like BB app-world; but i have had issues with anti-bot systems from time to time. Mostly with high demand web sites though (i.e. Facebook; some Wikis [like in this case by the sounds of it]; xbox.com and ect.) For now i would say go with google chrome and see if you are still having problems (and yes i realize you may not be able to down-load it onto a work PC/Linux/Mac but it's worth a shot). --Ichi (Talk) 09:16, 4 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your tips, but maybe I should more work and less procrastinate. Maybe your tips will help other users. --80.134.11.253 10:47, 4 July 2012 (UTC)
