Minecraft Wiki:Admin noticeboard

de:Minecraft Wiki:Admin Pinnwand 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.
 * 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.

Vandalism. --JonTheMon 17:11, 4 April 2011 (UTC)

Upcoming features (orphan) page
Would someone take a look at this and determine if it should be either: a) tossed onto the main page under the Updates, News and Events section, b) tossed under some other related section, c) fed to squirrels and deleted, or d) ignored and left on the orphans page. -Wulfenbach (not on fire for once) 11:09, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Why don't you provide an actual link that we can follow? duh! –The preceding unsigned comment was added by Wynthyst (Talk . Please sign your posts with !
 * Because it was an orphaned page, and by linking it, takes it off the page without anyone potentially dealing with it. This would defeat the purpose of me reporting it, ne?  Wynthyst, your wiki-fu disappoints me.  :D -Wulfenbach (not on fire for once) 11:31, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Who cares -.- it's more important that it gets noticed than having it stay on the specialpage.  A NNOYING  22:39, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Hence my original request? Not giving a link did have a purpose, that's all I'm saying. ^.^ -Wulfenbach (not on fire for once) 00:40, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

User:MartyMcfly777
User:MartyMcfly777 vandalized several pages. I think it's all been undone now. Ban? Anyhow, thanks. --31stCenturyMatt 01:04, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Please ban him, he insulted France, my country, also the project I'm working on. Drenay 01:39, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

Marvin and ItemslistV110.png
Marvin keeps putting a link to his site on the image, and while he did make the image, this is a wiki and not a place to advertise his site.
 * Has been warned, link removed, from both image and file page. -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png|19px ]] talk  02:15, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

Cejj99
He is a spammer and has put sexually oriented text on this wiki. Drenay 03:01, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

User:Pengmunk
Insists on posting an uninformative video on Rain despite a warning not to and multiple reversions. --Gnu32 22:26, 20 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Repeat incident; on his youtube comments it's quite clear he's trolling. --Gnu32 14:37, 24 January 2011 (UTC)

User:Iamtheman
Vandalizes different pages by replacing all links with the same one to his youtube video or put the same link and a link to his subscribtion all over the place. (See his contributions, or the history of Crafting) --Flippeh 00:50, 25 January 2011 (UTC) (pardon, forgot to sign :)


 * He's been warned. -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png|19px ]] talk  00:54, 25 January 2011 (UTC)


 * I don't think a warning is appropriate, it's obvious he's only here to spam his link so there's no reason to let him continue. – ultradude25  ( T at 02:45, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

Bots

 * User:TownJacquot5b9 and User:JaroszMccuistionj64
 * Look like bots. Page deletions, bans, and maybe some checkuser action? --JonTheMon 13:48, 21 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Confirmed, TownJacquot5b9, JaroszMccuistionj64 and WhisenhuntMartirk1k are all sharing the same IP along with identical edits. Thrown a permanent block on them and I'm writing the BBC a mail if they have anything to do with this. Case closed.--Quatroking -  MCWiki Administrator  20:03, 21 January 2011 (UTC)


 * I doubt it's actually them. Instead, you could add that website to MediaWiki:Spam-blacklist to keep them from continuing. --JonTheMon 21:10, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

Bot account
I intend to use User:Gnu64 as a bot account for use with AutoWikiBrowser. I've created this account per suggestion and established its roles as per IRC discussion. Could an admin please mark it as a bot account? Cheers, --Gnu32 20:47, 28 January 2011 (UTC)


 * So is someone going to do something about this? I'd like to see this bot in action. – ultradude25 ( T at 05:20, 4 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Bump, quite eager to do some mass categorization and reformat changes I have planned. --Gnu32 13:38, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

Bot account
I've set up User:Overwatch AI to be my bot account. If a bureau could change set the permissions that'd be appreciated. – ultradude25 ( T at 09:22, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

ICraft/Team
This double-redirect is edit-protected. Can an admin solve, please? (And there's probably no reason for it to be protected anymore, since it's just a redirect.) D0sboots 05:46, 13 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Fixed and unprotected. – ultradude25 ( T at 06:35, 13 March 2011 (UTC)

Template:OS/switch
I'd like to add an icon for web-based applications, but the template mentioned above is also edit-protected, due to its inclusion in Custom servers/ICraft. --Barracuda 12:04, 13 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Fixed. Be sure to put this in current issues not solved issues next time though. – ultradude25 ( T at 12:41, 13 March 2011 (UTC)

User:Itgamer
User:Itgamer (contribs) has blanked the Gate page and moved it to "DIE", and they're not showing signs of stopping. 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 21:08, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

User:Neomaster95t
User:Neomaster95t made this edit which changes the redeem-gift-code link, with a misleading edit summary. This is not just vandalism but presumably an attempt to steal gift codes (I haven't looked at the linked site). —KPReid 14:17, 16 March 2011 (UTC)

User:Kjahgskj,dhasd
This person looks like a spammer, hence the random characters of his username. He has also made a spam edit to the Creeper page. Drenay 15:54, 17 March 2011 (UTC)

User:KillingToaster
This person has blanked the List of administrators page. Drenay 17:56, 17 March 2011 (UTC)

User:Doctapee
I notice him vandalizing the Creeper Page (calling them Cactus men and etc.) He also been vandalizing a couple other pages too. Please keep a close eye on him WiiMaster890 14:14, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

User:Notpeva
Caught him vandalizing the Version History Page. Replaced all the 1.4 patch note with "shit". Ban? Atraius 22:26, 1 April 2011 (UTC)

Steve Co. Supply Crate
I've found a "Steve Co. Supply Crate" by wandering around (on the surface); I can't find anything listed in the wiki for it.

I suspect it's an easter egg (April Fools?!?); it leads the user to a webstore on minecraft.net, and when you try to checkout, there's an animation on a velociraptor sliding across the screen (with an appropriate sound effect).

My user talk page has some details & screenshot links, since I can neither create new pages nor add upload screenshots. Pariah Zero.
