New Curse profile Google+ problems
Not sure where this should go as it was for all of Gamepedea.

Very few people have pages at +name on G+. its mostly large Company's and youtubers.

Most look like https://plus.google.com/115617982346226991528 (Curse G+) or

https://plus.google.com/b/109401595195673181478/109401595195673181478 (My G+)

 * I would probably advise posting your concern to this Gampedia thread, the curse staff have been replying to various user requests. –Goandgoo ᐸ Talk Contribs Edits 07:41, 18 May 2014 (UTC)


 * For the record, I had no trouble adding my own G+ identifier once I stripped out some extra stuff: https://plus.google.com/108311860365925484486/posts But the field handling could definitely be improved. Right now, you need to make sure the URL ends in . 「 ディノ 奴  千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 11:30, 18 May 2014 (UTC)

Mob yo-yo
On the mechanisms tutorial, there's a section called "mob yo-yo" that doesn't have anything to do with redstone. The section is:

"

This works with any mob that you can place a lead on.

Simply place a lead on a mob and attach it to a High-up Fence post, the mob will dangle and bounce on the lead. If you place the fence post too close to the ground the mob will die from fall damage. Even if you don't, if the mob bounces, it will die when it touches a solid block unless it lands in water.



"

I think it should be removed. 173.73.154.139 13:44, 26 May 2014 (UTC)

I am creating a page on different methods to harvest dragon eggs, and the "Unwanted/New User" notice popped up.
I am creating a page on different methods to harvest dragon eggs, and the "Unwanted/New User" notice popped up. I am relatively new to wiki pages, and feel this would be a contribution as the Dragon egg page only briefly mentions it. What can I do?


 * There probably isn't really much of a need for it to have a separate page, add any extra information to the Dragon Egg page itself instead. –Goandgoo ᐸ Talk Contribs Edits 10:36, 30 May 2014 (UTC)

New dev version is out!
Can someone please ad the 1.7.10 pre-release to the main page's development link? Thanks! t  1234567890Number  c  19:58, 4 June 2014 (UTC)
 * I don't think 1.7.10 pre3 is the newest one. It is even older than 14w02b :)

 * 1.7.10-pre3 is the newest, but it's not the latest, as it a pre-release for 1.7 instead of 1.8. I don't think we have a place to put a second development version for the PC edition, since it only comes along rarely. --KnightMiner  (t 13:55, 11 June 2014 (UTC)

House decorations/building tips page
Hey I made a page about house decoration called House decoration ideas. It says that it needs approval from the admins. I think the page is helpful, so please take a look at it and see if it meets the acquired speculations to be submitted. Thanks!

Repeated addition of nonexistent snapshots on Development versions
IPs in the  subnet keep adding links to nonexistent versions such as 14w25a to the Version history/Development versions subpage. Maybe the subpage needs edit-protection from unregistered users. —F‌enhl 06:23, 18 June 2014 (UTC)

[Virus/Exploit] The Minecraft Wiki Website and Flash
Hello, I am not sure to put this post in the right place. I also speak french, so this post may have translation errors. The Minecraft Wikipedia website allow Flash animations. I found some virus/exploits in them. I just wanted to report.

Thanks.

§ should be changed to & on page Formatting codes
I couldn't edit page Formatting codes when I wanted to change § to &. When I tried to use § ingame it didn't even work, I had to use &. Please edit that page. –Preceding unsigned comment was added by Foxtrotcz (talk • contribs) at 19:41, 29 June 2014 (UTC). Please sign your posts with


 * The page is correct; only section signs (§) can be used to format text in vanilla Minecraft, but they normally can't be entered in-game. If ampersands (&) work to create formatting, you're either using mods or playing on a modded server. -- Orthotopetalk 20:27, 29 June 2014 (UTC)

Template:Version out of date
Template:Version is still set to 14w26c, but the current snapshot is 14w27b. Can this be updated please? I'd do it myself but I lack the necessary permissions.

Update font-family:Minecraft files to support characters like "ß"
For quite some time now, Minecraft actually themes "ß". Is it possible to support that character in the Minecraft font in the wiki? /* Minecraft font */ @font-face { font-family: Minecraft; src: url("http://hydra-media.cursecdn.com/hydra/fonts/minecraft.eot?#iefix"), url("http://hydra-media.cursecdn.com/hydra/fonts/minecraft.woff") format('woff'), url("http://hydra-media.cursecdn.com/hydra/fonts/minecraft.ttf") format('truetype'); } Thanks. --eagle3000 (D ~ B) 16:36, 3 July 2014 (UTC)

Media player is displayed incorrectly
For some reason, the media player is incorrectly displaying the last button as . It does not happen if the file is in a collapsible wikitable. It happens on both chrome and opera. Check cow for an example. --KnightMiner  (t 21:12, 3 July 2014 (UTC)

Failure to redirect after an edit, causing duplicate sections on talk pages.
For some reason, often the wiki does not redirect to the page after submitting an edit. For the most part people have been reloading the page, but on talk pages that causes a duplicated section. See here, here, and here. --KnightMiner  (t 22:43, 7 July 2014 (UTC)

Unwanted/New User
Hello, I created an account to help Turkish Translation project, but when I try to edit the project page (to change a guideline about translating in unification, I created a pastebin link from translation taken out from Minecraft.jar) it says "An automated filter has detected an unwanted word in your edit. As a new user, your action has been disallowed. If you believe your edit was constructive, please post a message on the admin noticeboard or notify an admin directly."

The link is here, http://pastebin.com/0Jg8P6xw, you can find things inside in minecraft.jar/lang/en_US and tr_TR. --GkcnAman (talk) 13:02, 9 August 2014 (UTC)


 * I don't see where exactly the problem is, but my guess is that the filter thought a Turkish word looked too similar to an offensive English word; the link itself isn't an issue. Committed your changes. -- Orthotopetalk 18:27, 9 August 2014 (UTC)
