Minecraft Wiki talk:Issues/notice

I have put down first-pass information on the new bug tracker on what would have been the Issues page for 1.4.2pre. I assume we won't be tracking bugs on the Wiki from now on, and have said so, but I have done this without getting a consensus. So, objections, quibbles, refinements, post them here, or fix the page directly.

You do need to be registered on the tracker site before you can report anything. Haven't mentioned that anywhere yet. Other additions welcome - I was more concerned about getting a usable bare-bones page up quickly than writing a fully comprehensive article. By the way, most of the text content was not written by me, but taken directly from the Mojang blog post announcing the creation of the tracker. --Simons Mith[82.69.54.207] 17:07, 24 October 2012 (UTC)

Cannot use official bug tracker
a! Cannot use official bug tracker, because it doesn't allow accountless reporting. --188.238.164.69 20:20, 24 October 2012 (UTC)
 * I just won't create account. I haven't done it to this point, and I will not do it later. Sometimes I have been very active reporter, and many times things that I have reported has been corrected. So if it's going to be no non-account users, then I am out. --188.238.164.69 20:20, 24 October 2012 (UTC)
 * I hope I don't sound rude, but we're sorry to see you go. I honestly do not understand why you don't want to simply make an account. Signing into something takes five seconds. If you're worried about the "full name" thing JIRA uses, don't put your real name down.  20:23, 24 October 2012 (UTC)
 * It's matter of princible. I have gazillion accounts and I am not creating one more password to my password list. Also I am make note that anyone can report. You'd be surprised how much more people report when anonymous reporting is allowed. --188.238.164.69 20:41, 24 October 2012 (UTC)
 * I believe the only reason anonymous bug reporting was allowed is solely because this wiki officially held the bug report pages, which fell under the open public contribution that comprises the purpose of a wiki. Bug reporting through accounts is far more organized and alleviates vandalism, which is a constant issue for any wiki. Seeing as this is neither a bug nor annoyance, falling under the "conflict of personal preference" category, I am removing your similar post in the 1.4.1pre page.  21:01, 24 October 2012 (UTC)
 * It's a legitimate concern and I sympathise too. There are a few games I enjoy that I'd never create an account over. Ultimately though, this should be a policy decision by Mojang, about whether or not they're willing to allow anonymous bug reports. The price of not is that they will lose a proportion of useful reports they might otherwise have received. They may consider that a price worth paying, as it will filter out a larger number of the 'junk' reports they'd also get.--82.69.54.207 21:10, 24 October 2012 (UTC)
 * I think at this point, what would be best is either posting this as a suggestion on the forums, or even hope that someone from Mojang reads this and offers their point of view and/or considers it.  21:14, 24 October 2012 (UTC)


 * Hey, there is that term again haunting, FORUMS. I don't have account there either. So I cant even complain that I can't have voice of my own because I don't have account. EDIT: They could add public account to current system, that everyone could use. And use built in filtering system filter reports that has been reported by that account, if they wanted to. --188.238.164.69 21:27, 24 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, me neither! It was 'wiki or nothing' for me, but now I have signed up for the bug tracker as well, because I gather sign-up there is also going to be used for the API, which is something else I'm interested in. --82.69.54.207 21:40, 24 October 2012 (UTC)
 * At this point, I would like to bring up how silly it is to reject the commonplace practice of a username/password combo in this day and age, regardless of how many other passwords you use.  21:52, 24 October 2012 (UTC)
 * There should be universal account with very good security, instead of many accounts and many passwords. But long as things are, as they are on earth, corporates and such, there never will be universal account. --188.238.164.69 22:15, 24 October 2012 (UTC)
 * I disagree. Single point failures are a bad idea. If that one access becomes compromised, that's it, it's over.  22:21, 24 October 2012 (UTC)
