 * This is very weird. How did any administrator not notice this topic? It’s months old. I would partially blame that on apparently lower activity of administrators that I see in the recent changes. But what if there is a different reason? — NickTheRed37 (issues’ wall) 16:40, 13 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Wait, almost 9 months of misinformation (if not more), and neither a block nor a final warning? And a 1 month block is thought to be able to stop him (i. e. for a longer time than the block's duration)? Is there absolutely any reason not to go straight to a long-term block?
 * In addition, please remind me, are all blocks still Gamepedia-wide? --AttemptToCallNil, previously known as GreenStone (report bug, view backtrace) 16:55, 13 June 2016 (UTC)

 * Can confirm that the user in question continues to add unsourced information. He's been warned multiple times on this on his talk page (I even told him how to contribute properly to feature discussion without angering other editors) but he persists. It's been almost a year, most of us are tired of cleaning up after him. Some admin action is needed here! Superspace (talk) 19:21, 19 June 2016 (UTC)

 * Looks like took care of it (thank you!!). He was blocked for 1 month. --MarioProtIV (talk) 11:54, 25 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Hooray. Although it would be better to have the sanctions last longer. But the thing doesn’t end with this ban, this is only a half of the matter... — NickTheRed37 (issues’ wall) 12:40, 26 June 2016 (UTC)

Latency of the administrators
The user CreeperFan2015 had to be blocked for his actions a long half-of-a-year ago. But only now did the administrators react. On the other hand, they paid attention to other harmful, block-worthy users and responded in kind. Here comes the question: How did administrators not react to the user for months? Why is the block duration so short (1 month), and is it connected to the latency? — <b style="font-variant: small-caps; letter-spacing: 1px">NickTheRed37</b> (issues’ wall)</i> 12:40, 26 June 2016 (UTC)


 * I've always wondered if the reason their not seeing it is because it's at the top of the page, and not at the bottom (where they check?). The worst case scenario being that CreeperFan2015 may be related to one of the admins (I doubt it, but it's an interesting and scary thought). -75.179.18.235 15:35, 26 June 2016 (UTC)


 * Apologies for not blocking the user earlier, I personally didn't see the request until I saw the revived discussion in the recent changes feed. I do think potentially making a new thread rather than reviving an old one would be better in the future. The user is also not related to the administration team in any way. –<b style=color:#282>Goandgoo</b> ᐸ <small style="display:inline-block;line-height:1em;vertical-align:-0.4em">Talk Contribs 22:47, 26 June 2016 (UTC)

 * Because the content of user profiles is saved in your preferences, it bypasses the spam filters as well as such things as the URL blacklist. In addition, admins don't have any way of removing spammy or abusive content from a profile - we can ask a user to do so themselves, and block them if they refuse, but that's the extent of it. I would hope that staff has the means to do so, but it would be inconvenient to have to make a request of them every time such content needs to be removed. 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 09:17, 5 January 2016 (UTC)


 * I tweaked MediaWiki:Titleblacklist to try to catch some of it. What's really frustrating is that the spammers seem to have discovered that user profiles aren't subject to the abuse filter or spam blacklist, and we can't do anything to clean up the mess. -- Orthotopetalk 09:23, 5 January 2016 (UTC)

 * More incoming: Special:Log/newusers. Maybe IP-block them? — Agent NickTheRed37 (talk) 15:58, 5 January 2016 (UTC)


 * My god. That's a lot. The words "Watch" and "movie" seem to be in the vast majority of the spam account names, so those shouldbe the main ones to blacklist. - MinecraftPhotos4U (talk) 16:41, 5 January 2016 (UTC)


 * I've updated the blacklist, but this is just a game of spam whack-a-mole, and it's not even effective as long as the profile content remains; we desperately need staff's attention here. 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 18:40, 5 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Autoblock should be blocking the IPs used to create the accounts, but they're probably using a botnet or proxies to get around that; only Curse staff have the checkuser right to see IP addresses. I'm a bit frustrated that Curse developed and pushed out the profile system without appearing to consider its spam/abuse potential. The only real solution I see is to have profile edits go through the spam and abuse filters, and give admins the ability to edit or delete profiles and comments. Until that can be implemented, I wouldn't mind having account creation disabled temporarily. -- Orthotopetalk 20:53, 5 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Sorry to speak out of turn, just happened to be wondering around the pages, and I could not help noticing the checkuser related comment above. Clearly that would help a lot here, and also at other times...  This may be info you guys already have, but it is my understanding that from a "legal" point of view on any wiki if the "admins" were / are willing to provide their real world names and details to the owner of that wiki then there is no reason (from a legal point of view) why the owner of that wiki should not grant "admins" checkuser rights.  MrN9k (talk) 17:57, 6 January 2016 (UTC)
 * These spammers (or this type of spammer) is prevalent across a lot of sites. I know I've seen tons of them on reddit (I used to try and deal with it - they create subreddits which also don't really get spam filtered properly; same kind of whack a mole there), and I've also seen them post spam on gameinformer and on some abandoned jira bugtracker (mostly so that they can link to it without getting caught in other spam filters...).  At least I see that the profile links have   set.  Getting proper spam filtering on profiles would be pretty important, and blanking them too. --Pokechu22 (talk) 22:50, 5 January 2016 (UTC)

 * I've sent out an email about the implementation issue with user profiles, so hopefully something can be done about it.
 * They have random IPs and user agents, so I would assume it's a botnet. Since you can probably still edit your preferences while blocked, there's probably not much point to even blocking them, as they could just edit their profile again. –Majr ᐸ <small style=display:inline-block;line-height:9px;vertical-align:-3px>Talk Contribs 10:37, 6 January 2016 (UTC)

 * Blacklisting "HD" seems likely to have a lot of false positives. At least Curse did change things to let admins edit profiles and delete comments, so we can get rid of the spam links. A lot of it appears intended to boost a site's search engine rankings by having a popular, reputable site (i.e., the Minecraft wiki) link to it. -- Orthotopetalk 02:32, 14 January 2016 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure if it would make sense for this to be an SEO issue - as I previously mentioned, those links have "|rel=nofollow" set on them, which should deincentivize it. (Also, if you're looking for words to block, perhaps "putlocker" would be one of them - I don't think that would have any normal use here).  --Pokechu22 (talk) 02:39, 14 January 2016 (UTC)

Range block.
IPs with bold lettering have been blocked before.



For the past five months, these IPs have been edit warring with several editors over vandalism and unexplained changes on Minecraft 1.0 and 1.0.0. They just started up again today. -BDJP (t 14:26, 31 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Looks like a dynamic IP address, assuming this is the same person; only one has ever been active at any given time. Blocking that entire range (71.3.136.0/21) would affect some 2,000 other addresses as well. Unless someone is actively changing IPs to get around blocks, that would be a lot of collateral damage to cause. -- Orthotopetalk 21:09, 31 January 2016 (UTC)


 * A few examples of when the IP's evaded blocks:
 * 71.3.137.17 was blocked for a month on September 12, 2015 for vandalism. Two IPs in particular (71.3.142.187 and 71.3.139.214) edited within that month-long time frame.
 * 71.3.139.139 was blocked for a month on November 21, 2015 for vandalism as well. One IP, 71.3.139.144, edited within that month-long time frame.
 * 71.3.137.126 was blocked for 3 months on June 30, 2016 for abusing multiple accounts. So far, two IPs, 71.3.140.57 amd 71.3.136.71, have edited within the 3 month long time frame. -BDJP (t 03:22, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

Bumping this as another IP with the same first two numbers has started edit warring today. -BDJP (t 15:38, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
 * OK, I suppose its time for a range block. -BDJP (t 23:15, 16 July 2016 (UTC)


 * For now, it's been a single additional IP vandalizing, and I blocked them for a couple of hours. If they start up again, or start from another IP in this range, poke me and I'll do a range block for a day or so; in the meantime, if anyone can find out, I'd appreciate knowing whether any legitimate editing has ever been done from this range (to get a better idea of whether a longer-term range block would be likely to catch innocent editors). 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 02:57, 17 July 2016 (UTC)

Current issues post-update
I wasn't sure where to post this, but I felt like this was the best place to do so, hopefully so MCWiki Administrators as well as Curse and Gamepedia staff can hopefully fix them.

Anyway, there appears to be some issues from the update to the latest version of MediaWiki, which include (and hopefully, limited to):


 * 1) Everything with Wii U in it either has a red link or does not show up properly. Some examples are the main page and the OS template.
 * 2) Pardon my language here, but the notification area looks like it got f**ked up by an explosion. Saying that I have over 99 notifications as well as one "talk page" notification.

Hopefully these issues get fixed soon. -BDJP (t 03:30, 4 February 2016 (UTC)


 * I found more issues...
 * number-id can not be use in "Link" templates like these:,.
 * Search function in other languages are broken (fr:Une erreur s'est produite en recherchant : Nous n’avons pas pu mener à bien votre recherche à cause d’un problème temporaire. Veuillez réessayer ultérieurement. zh:搜索时发生错误：由于出现暂时性的问题，我们未能完成您的搜索. 请稍后再试. ,etc.).

 * Another few:
 * Gamepedia's bottom bar on short pages covers the sidebar.
 * 'Save draft'-button sometimes doesn't know where it belongs (when the editor doesn't load completely, it is on the right place, but when the editor does load completely, it is somewhere else).
 * Infoboxes are too far down.
 * When viewing a preview, text at the right top does a  for no reason, even if there is enough space.

Issues 3 & 4 are solved for me by putting /* hide stuff I don't care about */ .atfmrec { display: none !important; } in my common.css (thanks to Dinoguy1000). Before I add this to the real CSS of the Wiki, will this remove ads for everyone on the Wiki or only for people using adblockers? -- DarkShadowTNT  NL Admin ( t  ♦  c ) 15:37, 9 February 2016 (UTC)
 * 1) p-sharing,


 * Putting that in the site-wide CSS would hide ads for everyone, which Curse probably wouldn't appreciate. Keeping it in your personal CSS should be fine. -- Orthotopetalk 15:45, 9 February 2016 (UTC)

Issues with nl:Template:Inventory slot
As title says, we have issues with Template:Invetory slot and every template that has somehow a connection with it on the Dutch Minecraft Wiki. It still shows the name from the items that are on it and the grid from e.g. the Crafting Table, but not the items that are on it. I tried to update every module of it, but it still says no. The issues apperead after Curse updated to MediaWiki 1.26, before that update there were no issues at all. -- DarkShadowTNT  NL Admin ( t  ♦  c ) 14:11, 5 February 2016 (UTC)


 * The problem is that you're still using nl:Template:Grid in your crafting tables, but have removed the styling for it. InvSlot has its own separate styling. –Majr ᐸ <small style=display:inline-block;line-height:9px;vertical-align:-3px>Talk Contribs 02:18, 6 February 2016 (UTC)

 * ...probably would've been better to just restore the grid styling and then convert all the templates to use InvSlot, rather than delete everything and make pages even more broken. –Majr ᐸ <small style=display:inline-block;line-height:9px;vertical-align:-3px>Talk Contribs 10:53, 6 February 2016 (UTC)


 * Now that you say it... *Off topic* BTW, can you keep an eye on our recent changes? There are some spammers around that advertise mobile phone usage with pages over 5000 bytes and long titles in English. I cannot keep an eye on the recent changes forever, because I have some other stuff to do too. If you want, you can delete those pages and block those IP's forever, because they keep making unneeded pages. -- DarkShadowTNT  NL Admin ( t  ♦  c ) 11:37, 6 February 2016 (UTC)


 * I've imported one of our filters which usually catches that sort of spam.

 * By bringing it up before they have edited, you're making it an issue. Their name wouldn't have been seen again once it moves off the recent changes. I'm not actually sure what to do about so called "inappropriate" names. Blocking a user blocks them globally on gamepedia, so while a name like that might be inappropriate on a more... childish? wiki like here, on others it might not be. –Majr ᐸ <small style=display:inline-block;line-height:9px;vertical-align:-3px>Talk Contribs 01:59, 6 February 2016 (UTC)


 * It's certainly pushing the bounds of good taste, but not quite as outright obscene as some of the accounts that have been blocked. My inclination is to allow borderline cases, as long as they aren't making any disruptive edits. If their behavior is problematic, having a questionable username is another strike against them. -- Orthotopetalk 02:40, 6 February 2016 (UTC)

Toggling mobile view does not work anymore

It's me again, this time with a very annoying issue.

It works fine on this Wiki (English) because it breaks up the comment and link, but not on ours.

Minecraft scratch edition
I'm making a version of Minecraft on scratch, which will be use new models. I'm adding things like drink, deer (therefore venison), frogs and numerous other things. I wondered if i could make an article about it? Robinhoodn64 (talk) 07:29, 19 March 2016 (UTC)

VisualEditor not conforming to Minecraft_Wiki:Style_guide#Linking

New administrators on Polish Wiki
Hello. There are two new administrators on Polish Wiki NTBG and Piotrex43. Can someone update Directors page please? Thank you. :) Piotrex43 (talk) 19:23, 23 March 2016 (UTC)


 * . –Majr ᐸ <small style=display:inline-block;line-height:9px;vertical-align:-3px>Talk Contribs 06:11, 31 March 2016 (UTC)


 * Could you update the Directors group in general please? Many users who are in it aren't administrators anymore (for example LukiGamer, who does not own the sysop rights anymore since 2012) and many users who are administrators aren't in the Directors group (see ), including my humble self. Also, some users seem to be twice in said group. | violine1101(Talk) 08:01, 31 March 2016 (UTC)


 * I've added director to everyone listed on the directors page when I could find an account matching the name listed there, but there were several that don't seem to exist; it's probably high time to review the status of everyone listed there and update things as appropriate (and find out what's going on in the case of inactive admins/bureaucrats and demote them/promote replacements as needed). I also removed director from LukiGamer; if it's not too much trouble, could you list other users with director who are no longer admins/bureaucrats (you can find a full list of accounts with director [ here])? I can do this later myself if you can't, but I don't have time to do it now. 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 08:53, 31 March 2016 (UTC)

LukiGamer was the only German user affected, hence I mentioned him. I have however a custom css which highlights all admins and bureaucrats. Following users in the directors group list aren't highlighted: Archomeda, DoranM, KunaiFire, LeGrund, Pochi33, Promaster6304, Ruansvrn324, STSc, Scaler6902 (= Scaler4?), Shahter100256 (= Shahter40?), Skyhi14, Szneqz, Tarne12081, Tomato5768, TunSha (= TunSha4?), Zelos666. Please note that my css is not too accurate (I used the names in MCW:Directors to create it) so this list could be partially false (because someone changed his name and the name on the Directors page has not been updated for example). | violine1101(Talk) 09:17, 31 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Thank you.


 * KunaiFire is probably KunaiFire7 and LeGrund is probably LeGrund6; I've left these and the users you've listed as possibly equal to current admins/bureaucrats alone, and removed director from the others. If there are still users who have director and shouldn't, or who don't and should, list them here or on my talk page and they'll be updated as needed (anyone who reads this should feel free to let the other language communities know this as well). 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 21:51, 31 March 2016 (UTC)

 * I've noticed this. :/ To clarify my previous comment, is it possible for Curse to modify the abuse filter so that it also applies to profile edits? If that's not an option, I'd be inclined to disable profiles entirely – I rarely see them used for anything other than spam. -- Orthotopetalk 06:59, 26 July 2016 (UTC)


 * There's no obvious hooks to allow custom actions to be added, so the extension itself would have to be modified. Doubt Curse wants to maintain their own fork of AbuseFilter and SpamBlacklist, just for the unnecessary profiles feature. –Majr ᐸ <small style=display:inline-block;line-height:9px;vertical-align:-3px>Talk Contribs 07:23, 26 July 2016 (UTC)

Page: Customized, Section: Trivia, problem: can't fix preset for Amplified
Trying to fix the Amplified preset in the Trivia section of the Customized page, on Save produces a Wiki error:

Czech wiki
I think it's time a proper Czech language wiki is set up, at [//minecraft-cs.gamepedia.com minecraft-cs.gamepedia.com] (maybe with minecraft-cz.gamepedia.com as a redirect- the correct code is actually cs, but many people use cz because that's the code [ISO 3166 and Internet TLD] used to refer to the Czech Republic). There's a very sufficient amount of pages- 427 of them, and that will only grow with time and newfound visibility. One user,, has been active translating pages for about a month, and has been around doing translation for much longer, so I think they would make a fine administrator for the project. There's one major issue, though- the main page isn't translated. I'd like to request Rechris to translate it, if he/she/they doesn't mind :) -Xbony2 (talk) 21:38, 1 August 2016 (UTC)

 * I'm all for reducing translation clutter on this wiki.
 * Rechris@undefined Please confirm if you would like the translation project to be completed and given its own wiki, and then translate the main page, and any pages it links to. –Majr ᐸ <small style=display:inline-block;line-height:9px;vertical-align:-3px>Talk Contribs 03:52, 3 August 2016 (UTC)


 * Hello, It would be pleasure to translate it to our language, but there are problems. I don´t know about anyone, who can help with translation, but would probably someone found, and the second problem is, that I don´t know, how to make our main page. So if you help or advice, please? :) - Rechris (talk)
 * I made the proper subpages for it for you, so that should fix that. Don't worry too much about other translators; they'll come. -Xbony2 (talk) 11:03, 3 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Thank You :) It will be progressively translated. But I still have one more question: It is still necessary to write extension /cz behind references in the article? Or We have to set up a page with Czech title? For example: New page Compass/cz or Kompas? - Rechris (talk)
 * On the new wiki, you'll want to want to have Czech titles. And you'll want to move the currently existing articles, like Compass/cz -> Kompas. I (and maybe others) will probably try to help you with this. Eventually, when all of the links are correct, you'll want to start deleting the redirects (like Compass/cz). -Xbony2 (talk) 19:37, 4 August 2016 (UTC)
 * - I think you just need to translate the words "About Minecraft" and "Version history", and it should all be good ^^ -Xbony2 (talk) 11:57, 7 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Translated :) Thank You, I missed it. - Rechris (talk)

 * It will take some time before it will be translated. - Rechris (talk)
 * I thought you meant the links in general, not the pages in themselves. But yeah, those should probably be translated (which they are being :)). -Xbony2 (talk) 10:40, 10 August 2016 (UTC)

Remove redirects and translated pages from the search bar


Honestly, I find this looks way too confusing. We have pages for foreign language translations, and redirects for simple capitalization differences, crowding out actual pages.

Is there a way to hide these? It seems like it might be a bit confusing for newcomers. - MinecraftPhotos4U (talk) 11:46, 5 August 2016 (UTC)


 * Don't believe so. However, we could probably get rid of all those old redirects. We haven't used those titles for years, so there's probably not many external links to them still. –Majr ᐸ <small style=display:inline-block;line-height:9px;vertical-align:-3px>Talk Contribs 06:26, 6 August 2016 (UTC)


 * Getting rid of a lot of redirects (or rather, tagging them for deletion). I might create a new section for this in the community portal. - MinecraftPhotos4U (talk) 16:23, 8 August 2016 (UTC)


 * Woah, ok, well I meant the sort of titles like in that picture, useless redirects from old page names that we haven't used for ages (and were never useful names to begin with), but I suppose we could be a bit more aggressive with removing unnecessary redirects...
 * Don't do mass actions like this on a whim in the future, wait for people to actually agree first. –Majr ᐸ <small style=display:inline-block;line-height:9px;vertical-align:-3px>Talk Contribs 06:32, 9 August 2016 (UTC)

Wiki advertisements causing page load issues
Hello Admins. There's a pretty glaring issue with browsing this wiki for me, whether I'm logged in or not. In the background, things are being loaded practically all the time. After a while of having a page loaded, it becomes almost impossible to navigate the page because of framerate issues, caused by these things loading in the background. Things never cease to be loaded it seems, even after 5 minutes of being on the page. I'm running Chrome on Windows 10 on a gaming PC with respectable specs from 2013, and my internet is a fairly standard 1.5 MB/sec connection. I've tested this with AdBlock on, and it seems to be fine, however I don't like using it.

Here are some screenshots of Chrome's Network tab from the Inspector.
 * On Community Portal: https://i.gyazo.com/414e1239462f4b44ad9c46a90fd677d9.png
 * On Biomes: https://i.gyazo.com/162d9c3a8bfdeca89f7008bc6e563991.png

This is probably beyond your abilities, in which case please escalate it to Curse or whoever because it's quite annoying and makes browsing almost impossible. If this is just an issue on my end, sorry! Any advice would be helpful.

Cheers

Account Problems

 * I suspect that the problem is due to enforcement of U.S. Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (specifically deleting accounts registered by children under the age of 13), of which I myself once became a victim. Judging by the data on your user profile, you were already 13 when joining Minecraft Wiki; did you join any other Curse project beforehand? — <b style="font-variant: small-caps; letter-spacing: 1px">NickTheRed37</b> (issues’ wall)</i> 12:50, 27 August 2016 (UTC)
