3 protection requests
---HumiebeeDiscuss anything with me Look at my edits 22:28, 20 October 2020 (UTC)
 * 1) Protect Java Edition 1.16.3
 * 2) It has gotten consistant vandalism since the release of Java Edition 1.16.3 Release Candidate 1
 * 3) I have requested this in the past with no response.
 * 4) It has gotten significantly less vandalism ever since the page creation of Java Edition 1.16.4
 * 5) Protect Java Edition 1.16.4.
 * 6) Ever since it's page creation, it's been flooded with vandalism.
 * 7) Protect Java Edition 1.17
 * 8) It was unprotected becuase most of the page became a transclusion.
 * 9) However it has recieved a lot of vandalism ever since Caves & Cliffs was protected.


 * The first page seems to have really died down with the vandalism, so not worth protecting at this point. The second one has a bunch of constructive IP edits and a lot of the recent vandalism is from two specific IPs who were blocked for their actions. I'll keep an eye on it, however; if it gets worse it should probably be protected for a month. The 1.17 page definitely requires protection; semi-protected it for a full three months. --Madminecrafter12 (talk) 12:57, 23 October 2020 (UTC)

More v’s
I appreciate that the launcher has versions from older times, but it’s easy to notice that you haven’t added all of them. Can someone tell Mojang that they need to add all the rest of the versions to the launcher? 75.166.68.3 23:40, 22 October 2020 (UTC)


 * Maybe they weren't even able to because they lost them, or whatever. Anyway, the Minecraft Wiki and the immense majority of its editors don't have privileged connections with Mojang staff, so we can't really help you with this.
 * P.S: Just to clarify: as Minecraft maniacs, we would love Mojang to make older versions public if they can, but I'm afraid we can't really do anything about it. Sagessylu (discuss | edits) 12:41, 23 October 2020 (UTC)

I uploaded a new version of File:FrontPageSprite.png, which adds the gameplay sprites for for Minecraft Wiki/editcopy, but also reorders and removes old sprites. Normally, this wouldn't affect the main template, since it should get a specific version of the image, but for some reason it is getting the latest version of the image, which doesn't match Module:FrontPageSprite right now.

Sandbox Cleaning
A while back, I posted a request on Minecraft Wiki talk:Sandbox but it got no attention. Can a bot automatically restore the header and clean the sandbox? I mean the sandbox should possibly get cleaned once a day as it ususally takes 3 hrs - 2 days for it to be cleaned. Also several ips keep touching the header so restoring that would be helpful as well.Humiebeetalk contribs 23:51, 17 November 2020 (UTC)
 * , but because this is in the admin noticeboard, I'd wait for an admin response to see if such bot is possible. already has a bot which automatically cleans the sandbox over time, and automatically refreshes the header. The best thing I could do is create this template, which basically if I replace all content in the sandbox with , it would clean the sandbox. The reason why I did not add it to the namespace is because 1) I don't know if it has already been done and 2) I should most likely wait for admin and/or community approval before I add a new template to mainspace. Blockofnetherite Talk Contributions 03:42, 20 November 2020 (UTC)
 * This could be made as a subpage of MCW:Sandbox, perhaps as MCW:Sandbox/Fsh, so using  would clean it.
 * Good idea, but I do not know if "Full sandbox heading" (Short: Fsh) is the best name for this, I was also thinking of calling it "Sandbox cleaner" (Short: Sc) because that name also works, but I went for "Full sandbox heading" because it doesn't clean the sandbox simply by inserting it in the page, I would have to clean it by replacing all content with the template (which isn't a bad thing, but I just thought that "Full sandbox heading" would be a better name) Blockofnetherite Talk Contributions 17:11, 20 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Let's call it sandbox reset, which is the name of the equivalent template on Wikipedia. Fadyblok240 (talk) 01:51, 24 November 2020 (UTC)
 * - At the Wikipedia sandbox, there is also an editnotice, which links to an old revision with the edit summary already filled out.

To manually clear the sandbox, click [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Sandbox&action=edit&oldid=466665401&edit&summary=Clearing+sandbox&minor=yes here] and save the page.

Improve the "missing signature" tag
The "missing signature" tag that MediaWiki assigns to some edits in talk and project pages is flawed. Some edits, such as archiving discussions or fixing formatting are incorrectly tagged with "missing signature". Therefore I propose two additional criteria to reduce the rate of false positives. To prevent archival edits from being tagged, edits must increase the page size in order to qualify for "missing signature". Minor edits would also be disregarded so fixing formatting won't result in the tag. It is impossible to create an edit filter to perfectly tag edits as "missing signature", but the current filter can be improved. Fadyblok240 (talk) 17:46, 27 November 2020 (UTC)

Is there a policy here about directories of youtube videos?
Over on Wikipedia, there's a policy that's fairly strictly enforced: Wikipedia is not a directory. This policy exists because 'directory' pages become spam magnets for editors to post their own links to their own content on Facebook, Youtube, their website, their github project, or whatever. And this also violates the guildeline about conflict of interest.

Do we have something similar here? There's a brief list of rules at MCW:Wiki rules but nothing detailed about directories of external links or COI.

So tell me if I was out of line here. I saw this edit by someone inserting what is obviously his own Youtube video into a tutorial article. Instinctively I reverted it, out of habit developed on Wikipedia, and then realized I have never really seen any policy or guideline about lists of external links, or conflict-of-interest editing.

I know this wiki is quite permissive about what goes into Tutorial articles, but that particular tutorial looks like more video links than actual tutorial content. Amatulic (talk) 04:15, 4 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Video policy. The Great Spring (talk | contribs ) 04:18, 4 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Minecraft Wiki:Wiki rules/Video policy pretty much allows a free-for-all on tutorial pages, saying only that "it is preferred" for the article itself to include the information in the video. And it doesn't address the issue of editing with a conflict of interest (adding your own videos to a page) other than to mention "blatant self-promotion." Does adding your own Youtube link qualify? If so, maybe a line should be added. A lot of YouTube links on this wiki seem to exist for the purpose of attracting views (revenue) for the owner of the link. At the very least, the policy should require that you propose your own video on the talk page for others to review. Amatulic (talk) 16:20, 4 December 2020 (UTC)
 * I would say adding your YouTube link to the page as your only contribution would be "blatant self promotion", but revamping part of the article and including your video there may be fine, if the video is helpful (which they must be).  Nixinova </b>  T </b>  C </b></b>  19:30, 4 December 2020 (UTC)

If you need proof I Know the accounts Password. if you need it ask me. Another wrong thing is I have 2 accounts one I can't log in to. So pretty much sock puppetry, and don't want to get blocked for that! Thank you for helping --73.89.66.98 18:03, 10 December 2020 (UTC)
 * I recommend you clear the cookies in your browser, then log into the account you want to use, and don't touch any other accounts, just abandon them. It is by understanding (based on my knowledge of the English Wikipedia) that it is technically not possible to delete accounts in the wiki software being used here, due to attribution requirements in the CC-BY-NC-SA 3.0 license being used here.

Editing in good faith, but disruptive and uncommunicative
Since October,, , and I have been monitoring and cleaning up messes left by good-faith edits from the IP address in the Minecraft Dungeons article space.

The user has made a few good contributions, and the disruptive contributions are well-intentioned, coming across as a fanboy eager to share knowledge.

On the other hand, the endless need to clean up this user's speculations, irrelevant comparisons between mobs, poor grammar, poor spelling, combined with the user being totally uncommunicative on any talk page or in edit summaries, makes me think that this user isn't a net benefit here.

Refer to the discussions on the IP's talk page User talk:116.88.2.69 (with no response from the IP) and my own talk page User talk:Amatulic.

Because the user is editing in good faith without meaning to do harm, I'm hesitant to recommend a long term block, but I wish there was some way to get his attention so he'd be receptive to some advice or coaching. Perhaps a short block to get attention? Amatulic (talk) 03:29, 15 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Surely Wikipedia has guidelines on situations like this? WP:CIR?  Nixinova </b>  T </b>  C </b></b>  03:49, 15 December 2020 (UTC)
 * but this isn't Wikipedia. I am unfamiliar with the thresholds for blocking here on the Minecraft wiki. On Wikipedia there is a block rationale WP:Disruptive editing that administrators can use to justify blocking a user. It's a pretty detailed guideline. As you suggested, WP:CIR is applicable too.
 * What I've done on the English Wikipedia, I'd first verify that the edits are mostly disruptive and that the user has been adequately warned about such edits, then apply a short block (starting at 24 hours, although 31 hours is typical) to stop the disruption. I also apply a block message template to the user's talk page to explain the reason for the block, and the message also includes instructions on appealing the block. I haven't seen that here, or maybe it exists but isn't used. Anyway, that often gets the user's attention and the user starts communicating. Or the user leaves.

Does Fortune apply full protection
I have seen some Android guy putting higher levels at Fortune and they even report me but they are actually disruptive so does Fortune apply full protection? The Great Spring (talk | contribs) (Tagalog translation) 22:17, 16 December 2020 (UTC)
 * No, it is 1user with an alt and their own IP, which I all blocked instead. Additionally, Fortune wasn't the only page. Dhranios (talk) (Join the wiki videos project!) 22:30, 16 December 2020 (UTC)

Unprotect Efficiency
Efficiency should be unprotected for a few reasons Humiebeetalk contribs 02:15, 18 December 2020 (UTC)
 * 1) It was not edit warring, it was obvious vandalism.
 * 2) It was just from one ip adress
 * 3) The ip adress could be blocked with no protection, semi at the very most
 * 4) Also look at Does Fortune apply full protection? right above
 * No it doesn't because its just 1 user with a sockpuppet and IP that bombing it and they were blocked already. James Haydon (talk) 02:19, 18 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Do you mean yes to my request??????Humiebeetalk contribs 02:21, 18 December 2020 (UTC)
 * I'm talking about the Fortune page. James Haydon (talk) 02:22, 18 December 2020 (UTC)
 * But yes, I do definitely do support unprotection of that page, it shouldn't have even been protected in the first place. James Haydon (talk) 02:23, 18 December 2020 (UTC)
 * "It was not edit warring, it was obvious vandalism." a new user and an editor well known to the wiki, neither attempted to communicate to one another and were just reverting back and forth; that made it was actually edit warring. I'm not going to block a user who was not said a word to, who may have been acting out of good faith, since their initial edit summary was correct, but they got reverted 4 times, no reason provided. This is unlike the fortune page, where the user (and alts) were told several times why their edits were being reverted. I will not remove the protection.

 * Okay thanks for the context there. James Haydon (talk) 06:06, 18 December 2020 (UTC)
