Meeples10's Recent Vandalism
I am sorry somebody using my account did it, I didn't know they did it, but I won't do it. Meeples10 18:43, 3 April 2013 (UTC)


 * It's all right, just be more careful with your account info and always logout of computers that aren't yours. Even if you trust someone, we only allow one person per account on the wiki.  00:22, 4 April 2013 (UTC)

Welcome
Welcome to the admin team! Get yourself added to the admin list, and introduce yourself on the Director's talk page. -- Wynthyst  talk  08:05, 5 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Thank you! I'm really excited to help out the wiki even more.  16:49, 5 April 2013 (UTC)

Wow, congrats for becoming an admin! How did you become one anyway? -- Numbermaniac  - T  - C 00:54, 6 April 2013 (UTC)


 * He showed his dedication to making the wiki better by patrolling recent changes, undoing vandalism, assisting other users by answering posted questions, and adding contributing edits over a period of time, indicating he wasn't going to just leave. -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  01:10, 6 April 2013 (UTC)


 * I guess that was fairly obvious. Well done Kanegasi! -- Numbermaniac  - T  - C 01:39, 6 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Thank you, Numbermaniac, and thanks again Wynthyst. :D  02:03, 6 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Congratulations Kanegasi! You deserve it. :) — Hower64 02:56, 6 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Thanks Hower64. :D  02:58, 6 April 2013 (UTC)


 * "Kanegasi deleted Piston … Kanegasi restored Piston" -- wait… Kanegasi?! Oh! Look at that! Congratulations! : ) &mdash;Munin295 &middot; Grid_Book_and_Quill.png Grid_Stone_Pickaxe.png &middot; 03:10, 8 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Hehe, thanks.  03:15, 8 April 2013 (UTC)

Talk page edit changes
When I come to edit a talk page, there's a completely new box, saying "This is 's talk page." Did you do that? -- Numbermaniac  - T  - C 07:48, 6 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Yes. I implemented something similar to Template:Talknotice, but on all talk pages. It will display the same thing for any non-user talk page, but on user talk pages, it presents the user's name for that talk page. For the Community portal, it welcomes the editor and removes the Community portal link. Did you have feedback?  07:51, 6 April 2013 (UTC)


 * To be honest, I actually like it. Hopefully it deters people from editing pages with things that shouldn't actually be on the wiki, such as bugs. It's a great idea. -- Numbermaniac  - T  - C 23:56, 6 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Thank you for the feedback. :)  00:19, 7 April 2013 (UTC)

User page header box
How did you get the box at the top of your user page? In the code, I couldn't really see anything to do with that box. How? -- Numbermaniac  - T  - C 05:42, 7 April 2013 (UTC)


 * It's transcluded from User talk:Kanegasi/msgbox. It's just a msgbox with custom colors using the same link as the "Add topic" tab at the top.  05:45, 7 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Forgive me if I read it wrong, but I was referring to the big box on e top of your user page. -- Numbermaniac  - T  - C 06:13, 7 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Oh, the link list on the top left? That's at User:Kanegasi/nav. I use the includeonly and noinclude functions of wp:Transclusion. When you view the nav page directly, it only shows the lists of my pages, but when you transclude the page, it shows the navigation.  06:21, 7 April 2013 (UTC)


 * I learn so much about wiki editing every day. -- Numbermaniac  - T  - C 07:37, 7 April 2013 (UTC)

Instant video protection
Sorry to bug you so much, I seem to be putting a lot of posts on your talk page.

When I uploaded the video a out pistons to Piston/video, why did you instantly protect it? Why do all the videos have to be protected like that? -- Numbermaniac  - T  - C 02:45, 8 April 2013 (UTC)


 * They are protected to prevent vandalism. Once they are put up, there is no need to edit them. This is why they are put on a separate subpage instead of directly into the relevant page. Every video, even before I started on this wiki, has been protected.
 * Also, when making these video subpages, make sure to use the following code:

 * I guess I never thought of it that way. Makes sense. I didn't know about the special code either. Thanks. -- Numbermaniac  - T  - C 03:10, 8 April 2013 (UTC)


 * You're welcome. Anyone can create those and keep up with the video releases and an admin will come around and protect it. I've been keeping up with most of the recent additions in the past month or so, but I haven't gone through any older ones to see if they were all accounted for, as you seem to be doing. You're doing great.  03:15, 8 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Thanks :D. I've just been going to random pages (though not through the random page link on the left) and seeing if the video is there or not. If not, I find it on google, make sure it's the correct one, and add it in! :) -- Numbermaniac  - T  - C 03:34, 8 April 2013 (UTC)


 * No need to Google. Just use the search bar on mcspotlight's channel http://www.youtube.com/user/mcspotlights  03:36, 8 April 2013 (UTC)


 * If only I had known that before! Thanks! :D -- Numbermaniac  - T  - C 03:44, 8 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Oh wait, this is interesting. Looking at that Brick video, it seems that's on their curseentertainment channel. I thought all of those videos were on mcspotlights. Both channels are legit. They also have a CurseNetwork channel, but I believe they abandoned that one in favor of the entertainment name.  03:48, 8 April 2013 (UTC)

I found that interesting too. When I had searched on google (before you have me the link) I couldn't find anything about it by mcspotlights. I found one by curseentertainment, and when I watched it, it was exactly the same!-- Numbermaniac  - T  - C 04:11, 8 April 2013 (UTC)

Sandbox
Howdy, Kanegasi!

How does one get to his/her user sandbox easier, and how does one select a title for it? Thanks

 * I don't think the Minecraft Wiki has user sandboxes. You could create one here, but there is no formal sandbox like Wikipedia. -- Numbermaniac  - T  - C 03:51, 10 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Wikipedia does have a "formal" organized approach to sandboxes, but they're nothing more than specifically named userspace pages. This wiki doesn't have anything in place to navigate to any specific page in your userspace other than the common.js and common.css pages in your preferences page that comes with MediaWiki. The only way to create a page in your userspace is to go to your userpage and just type a / and the desired page name in the url, other than following Special:MyPage links, as Numbermaniac provided. You are allowed to do practically anything in your userspace, provided that applicable rules are still followed.  04:55, 10 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Sorry. I just gave it as one way. but that is another option, probably preferable. -- Numbermaniac  - T  - C 07:48, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

Thanks guys
