2 things...
Hey Dinoguy! 2 two things. one, I'm back! and two, Something weird is going on with the wiki, a note that reads something about ender pearls is appearing all over the place. even in the main page! just wanted to let you know. by the time you read this, it will probably be fixed by then. :) Glad to be back. ☎ &#34;To Protect And Moderate&#34; (Spencer10APSC) 00:24, 5 December 2012 (UTC)


 * An IP editor vandalized Template:!, which I thought was impossible... -- Hower64 00:38, 5 December 2012 (UTC)


 * 1:Woa! your a admid now!? Cool! Also, What happened to Dinoguy? is he taking a "wiki brake" too? 2: Your page reads as follows: "Hi there! I'm pretty stupid so if I've made a silly edit please leave a reminder on my talk page. Thanks, and happy editing." Really dude? I don't think you're stupid. or, have you not changed it yet. Again, I don't think you're stupid, You should not say that you are if you are not. :-)


 * I think he's just not online yet; he edited only yesterday after all. Alas, I am still quite inexperienced with wikis so I try to warn people if I do something stupid. Thank you, regardless. -- Hower64 01:07, 5 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Hehe, Your welcome. By the way, How do you archive a page? I want to archive some of the stuff on my talk page. Can you give me an Idea how to do that? Thanks. ☎ &#34;Minepedia!? Да я чувак!&#34; (Spencer10APSC) 01:15, 5 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Hi Spencer, welcome back. =)
 * As Hower said, I'm not on break or anything; I've just been out all day (and I've been having internet connection issues which were especially bad today, so I wasn't able to do much before I left). ;)
 * You can archive your talk page simply by creating a subpage in your user talkspace and copying the discussions you want archived from your talk page to the subpage. There's a few different names you can use for it; I'm partial to "Archive 1" (and so, my talk page archive starts with User talk:Dinoguy1000/Archive 1); then, when you decide the first archive page is full enough, you can just increment the number to end up with "Archive 2", and so forth. You should also link from your talk page to the archive, and it's usually a good idea to somehow note on the archive that it *is* an archive and that people should leave messages for you on your talk page instead of editing the archive.
 * Hower: the vandalism was possible because ! wasn't protected; I've just done so.
 * 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 04:08, 5 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Oh. O.O When I reverted the vandalism, the page said "This page has been protected so that only users with administrator privileges can edit it, because it is included in the following cascade-protected page: Minecraft Wiki". I even tried editing the page while logged out and I could not (because of above reason). Can you please explain this? -- Hower64 04:16, 5 December 2012 (UTC)


 * No, I really can't. The most I can offer is that cascading protection has always interacted a bit weirdly with the cache, meaning it should generally be used as a backup protection, instead of relying directly on it. 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 04:20, 5 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Oh, that sounds like a major bug. Thanks anyway. -- Hower64 04:24, 5 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Indeed it is; to be sure, it hasn't gone unnoticed on the English Wikipedia. =/ 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 04:53, 5 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Ja thanks. when ever I have time, I will keep editing. Maybe once a week. :P. But again thanks. =) Catch you guys later. ☎ &#34;Minepedia!? Да я чувак!&#34; (Spencer10APSC) 19:39, 10 December 2012 (UTC)

Re: Reverting
Oh nothing, I just didn't properly import Ultradude's editableRollback script to the right page. I imported the script to User:Hower64/editableRollback.js instead of my vector.js, so it didn't work. Complete fail on my part, sorry! -- Hower64 03:58, 8 December 2012 (UTC)

Merging pages
What's the proper procedure for merging two pages? For example, Cheats and Commands are basically the same, so should I make sure all the content is on one page, then do a history merge (even though that would make the page diffs horribly confused)? For another example, Score has much less content than Experience, so would it make more sense to just delete it after combining the content? -- Orthotope 20:03, 9 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Generally, history merges should only be used when correcting copy-paste page moves: as you pointed out, they make the page history horribly confusing in most other cases, and they're next to impossible to revert - someone has to go through the entire history up to the merge, diff-by-diff, and determine which of the original pages the diff belonged to.
 * On the other side of the equation, though, the Creative Commons license used for the content of this wiki requires attribution for all content be maintained, regardless of how much (or how little) history that content has, so deleting a page after merging its content into another page is a definite no-go. Instead, the merged page should be redirected to the merge target, and the merge action and merged page should be noted in the edit summary on the merge target when the merge is performed. Some editors also like to leave a note on the merge target's talk page specifying that a merge happened and the merged page that the content came from; this is probably a good idea to always do, but I could never get into the habit myself.
 * Back to history merging, on the Yu-Gi-Oh! wiki, there have been cases where I've performed a history merge where one or both pages had very few revisions (typically less than 5 or so) and very similar content, where there was a high probability that some or all of the content had previously been copied from one page to the other. Most cases here should be far more clear-cut on whether a history merge is warranted, but you may come across one or two cases that are much less clear; for these, you can rely on your own judgment, or if you're not sure, ask me or another admin.
 * Sorry for the length, and hope this helps some! =) 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 20:16, 9 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the length - in-depth responses are always useful. ;) -- Orthotope 21:01, 9 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Then it's a good thing I'm so good at them (seriously, ask Cheesedude). =D 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 21:19, 9 December 2012 (UTC)

Caption entry
Dinoguy, can you add an entry to entity for image captions? I'm not very familiar with template wikicode, so I don't want to screw up. I mainly want to add a caption entry to the template infobox so I can add a caption for describing the image in infoboxes such as the one in item (entity). Thanks - M0rphzone(talk) 02:49, 17 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Done. Note that I haven't tested it, and the logic around the first image is pretty hairy, so it may not work as intended (or it just may break everything horribly =D ), so let me know if something seems off. =) 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 03:12, 17 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks! I'll test it out in my sandbox. M0rphzone(talk) 02:16, 27 December 2012 (UTC)

I don't know if you have noticed but both the gold disk and the red disk have the same ID, not only that the witch egg spawns withers and the bat egg spawns enderdragons.

My edit keeps getting removed
I have found an error on the Firework Star page, the recipe for a dyed firework star is, Gunpowder and Dye not Firework Star and Dye, I have edited this to the correct recipe 2 times and in both cases it was reverted back to the wrong recipe within 10 minutes. Is there a reason why my edit is being removed? Could you please fix the recipe to the correct recipe?

thanks, --Prizna 12:55, 20 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Did you read the article or my ? Adding dyes to a newly created firework star will produce a "Fade to color" effect. Admittedly, the color of the firework star used in the crafting grid should correspond to the outputted firework star to prevent this type of confusion. -- Hower64 13:08, 20 December 2012 (UTC)

where is the numbers of items?
hi im just wondering where can u find numbers of items? –Preceding unsigned comment was added by 90.224.116.38 (Talk) 18:50, 23 December 2012 (UTC). Please sign your posts with


 * I'm not sure what you're asking. Are you talking about items' data values? In that case, you'll want Data values. 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 19:06, 23 December 2012 (UTC)

HI! I created a Page! Look at it Please!
Could you please approve it? Thanks. http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Gender. It's obviously just started: it's like three sentences long. But could you please approve it soon? Thanks. MINECRAFTER9000 03:16, 24 December 2012 (UTC)
 * That information is covered clearly in the first lines of the page The Player, including two references from Notch. Also, pages don't need to be "approved", just properly created and maintained by the community.  04:53, 24 December 2012 (UTC)

Old vandalism question.
Hey Dinoguy. its Spencer. I was looking around in the Version history of Ghast, and I found Nasty vandalism by the User Herobrine-is-REAL. the user may be gone, and the edits may be in the History "book", But I was wondering... Since it was that bad (given the fact that the edits were racist). Can you or someone delete it even from the page history? I don't want anyone else to see what I saw. Thanks in advance. ☎ &#34;Minepedia!? Да я чувак!&#34; (Spencer10APSC) 22:20, 28 December 2012 (UTC)


 * There is a way to do that, but that editor made quite a few edits before they were blocked, and it'd be a bit of a pain going through them to find the ones worth removing. If you want to point me to specific revisions (preferably via email), I can hide them, but I'm not going to just look through all the edits to find ones that should be hidden. 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 08:33, 29 December 2012 (UTC)


 * I'm not condoning the language used, but that incident was not the most horrible thing I've seen. Individual revision deletion has mostly been used for images, as thumbnails of every version are visible on the file page; text vandalism will only be seen when digging through the page diffs. Also, I'd hesitate to delete revisions for accountability purposes: it's hard to justify blocking someone for vandalism etc. if all the evidence has been hidden. -- Orthotope 09:48, 29 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Same here; I've seen far worse than that, and heard about even worse. Spending time around some of the noticeboards on Wikipedia shows you all sorts of ridiculously nasty vandalism. 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 10:43, 29 December 2012 (UTC)

I was also thinking about this...
I was also thinking about making a Wiki Tech Support page or something like that. Were admids and other expert wiki editors can answer wiki related questions and do other things. And maybe add a tech support personnel list. Just a random thought. I thought you would like to hear it. P.S. I think we already have some of those things. Now that I think about it. ☎ &#34;Minepedia!? Да я чувак!&#34; (Spencer10APSC) 22:27, 28 December 2012 (UTC)


 * We already sort-of have such a noticeboard, by way of the admin noticeboard and community portal; in addition, a number of editors, myself and most of the other admins included, can answer technical questions posed on our talk pages (and the ones that can't usually know they can turn to one that can). I don't think it would be worth the extra overhead involved in setting up and maintaining such a noticeboard, given the other options already available and the size of our community. ;) 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 08:36, 29 December 2012 (UTC)

Thanks.
I am not logged in right now, but its me Spencer. Thanks for telling me anyway. Ya That's Fine. Don't worry about it anymore. I guess its not as bad as you guys have seen. but again, thanks anyway. 174.36.170.160 19:51, 29 December 2012 (UTC)

Sky
I have a minecraft bug i'd like to ask.

My sky ingame and fog is flickering ALOT. No matter what I try, it will flicker. The sky color (for you British people, colour.) is 0.

 * The only thing I can really suggest is to try forcing an update the next time you launch Minecraft.
 * If you have any mods installed, this will uninstall them, and if the forced update fixes the problem, you'll know it was probably caused by one of them, in which case you should reinstall them one at a time, re-running the game after installing each mod, until you find which one caused it.
 * If you don't have any mods installed, and the forced update doesn't fix the problem, you may want to see if it's a problem with your computer or operating system: run a virus and malware scan, make sure your operating system and Java are up-to-date, etc.
 * If none of this helps you, the only thing I can suggest is to post your problem and what you've tried to fix it on the forum; someone there should be able to help you a lot better than I can. 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 00:42, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

Since the force update didn't fix your problem, as I said, you'll need to post about it on the forum instead.
