Minecraft Wiki:Admin noticeboard

__NEWSECTIONLINK__ 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 (using four tildes:  ) when posting an issue.

Before posting an issue here, please consider the following:
 * This page is for reporting wiki issues. Please post discussions on the talk page.
 * 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 reason for deletion request 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.
 * For issues regarding the use of this wiki, please see our help center.

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. If a user must be reported here, please use user, preferably as the topic subject/headline.

Version history/Development versions
I created Version history/Development versions old to store all the pre 1.6 stuff, updated Template:Version history nav to point to it, but because a new user, I can't update the version history file to exclude the previous history (which is quite understandable....)

So I'm proposing to remove the contents of the version history page which is now found in Version history/Development versions old...

 * As mentioned on the talk page, the problem with splitting it is that Version link needs to be updated as well, which is a nontrivial task. There is a planned MediaWiki upgrade (hopefully in the relatively near future) which will make this easier, so please try to be patient. -- Orthotope 18:39, 6 May 2013 (UTC)

Why are you allowing malware?
"You must update flash player!" IT'S MALWARE! Why are you allowing it as an advertisement? The advertisements should be for restaurants or other buildings, or maybe for products. They should not be "shoot 5 ducks", "you are the 100000th visitor", "you are [town name]'s lucky winner", and DEFINITELY NOT MALWARE! Can you stop allowing malware advertisements? (There is more than one.) hotdogPi--t--c--QUIZ! 15:52, 14 May 2013 (UTC)


 * Wiki admins can't do anything about this; you should contact Curse directly if they're serving bad ads. Be prepared to give them screenshots of the offending ads, and the URLs they link to.


 * Also, I agree that Flash Player has plenty of issues, but it doesn't fall under the usual definition of malware. -- Orthotope 19:55, 14 May 2013 (UTC)


 * I assume he's talking about an advert that tells you flash player needs updating, taking you to a third party site with malware, instead of the adobe site. –ultradude25 ᐸ Talk Contribs 20:27, 14 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Yes, that is a thing. Also attempting to serve malware directly through browser exploits.  Sounds like Curse needs to have a little chat with their web-ad provider.  --Mental Mouse 21:01, 14 May 2013 (UTC)
 * We investigate and take action on EVERY report of bad ads. If we aren't given specifics, it's very difficult for us to track down, so... if you experience a bad ad, please screenshot it, or at least make note of what the ad is for, and send us a report at contact@curse.com -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  11:18, 17 May 2013 (UTC)


 * I had to shut down and restart my computer 7 times because of some stupid malware ad that my mouse just hovered over, not clicked on, hovered over. It deleted my Internet... ×Meeples10× 02:24, 18 May 2013 (UTC)

Weather368, vandalism on Item durability and Minecraft pages
has twice tried to randomly change the Item Durability tables, with no discussion or citation. New user, his only prior edits are to the Minecraft page, one of which has been reverted, but they all look suspicious after seeing their M.O. on the other page. --Mental Mouse 22:02, 16 May 2013 (UTC)


 * Next time, you should put the user template in the header. -- (T) Numbermaniac (C) 06:23, 17 May 2013 (UTC)


 * It does not have to be in the header, even though it's more consistent to report users that way. As long as the template was used, either in the header or in the post, it's fine. I removed your rather unnecessary comment template usage.  06:31, 17 May 2013 (UTC)
