Minecraft Wiki:Admin noticeboard

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.

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)


 * Dealt with. – ultradude25  ( T at 14:52, 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)
