Being a Wiki Admin.
Wynthsyt, After reading a topic on the minecraftforum.net forums about the wiki needing more admins, i thought i might apply. I have had prior experiances with uses wikis for other games, like dead frontier, pokemon, and Call of duty. And have helped sort and type information for them. Altough only being able to speak english, I think my help could help perhaps just a little bit, or make a big impact. Not sure if I need to post contact information, but anyway I'll post it regardless; E-mail; Email removed MC Forum Name; xNightmare --XNightmare 08:34, 8 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks Nightmare. Keep your eyes open, more information will be forthcoming! Currently we are really looking for admins for the Dutch language wiki, but with as popular as Minecraft has become, there's always room for more here on the English wiki as well. -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  01:25, 8 March 2011 (UTC)


 * I'll always be available. --XNightmare 08:35, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

Interested in being a Wiki Admin
Hey Wynthst, I saw your post on the minecraft forum, and it immediately grabbed my attention. I fluently speak Dutch, along with English and a couple other languages, and I'd love to help. I 'm a frequent contributor to the actual wikipedia, along with being a site owner. Not sure if previous experience really matters here, but I thought it may! :)

I see Nightmare posted his contact info, so I shall do the same:

Image resizing?
Methinks you grok the .png habit better than I, so might you take a look at:

Tutorials/Quarry

The new pic is rather nice, and has a good relative field of view, but I think its size is a little screen-busting. Is it worth asking the OP to resize it, or is this something you would normally just do yourself and repost the pic? -Wulfenbach (not on fire for once) 03:57, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Uh.. just change it to a more normal size? – ultradude25 ( T at 04:13, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

Best of luck,bye bye

Dutch sysop
I know a fairly good user from the Urban Dead wiki whos first language is Dutch, and is fluent in English. He may be interested in being a moderator on the Dutch Minepedia. I'll get him in touch with you guys?  A NNOYING  04:31, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

 * I have no problem taking your recommendations into consideration. I know we got off to a rocky start, but I'd like to see that change. I would just like to see more positive than negative attitude. We are seriously trying to make this a better wiki in the best way we know how. I do hope that anyone who is acting as an administrator (on any of the Minecraft wiki sites) will also be an active contributor. -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  05:05, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Alright. I'll have to see if he plays minecraft else I doubt he'll be able to do much around the place. As for rocky starts, I'm quickly finding reasons not to worry so much about the issues at hand. Not forced preview (whilst it would be nice for everyone to not have to deal with it) is a dream, and I recently found out Kizzi's ark of Herobrine is the top rated search for the respective term on Google, which is about as useful as it could ever get, so forcing it into the mainspace is no longer so important to anyone I imagine, lest me.

Admin for Dutch Wiki
Hi,

I would like to be an admin for the dutch wiki. I see that it still needs a lot of work in translating the stuff that normal users cannot edit. I am registered on the wiki. I am a web developer so I could easily help with all the CSS and stuff. MC Forum: gdscei Here: gdscei
 * Thank you for your interest. You are correct that the Dutch wiki is in need of a lot of work. I will be taking all of the requests under consideration. In the meantime, any contributions you can make to bettering the Dutch wiki are welcome. I am not going to make this decision lightly, as I do want active committed editors and administrators on all of the Minecraft wiki sites. Thanks for your interest. -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  09:09, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Can I somehow add the crafting background image for the crafting section of a block or does an admin need to look at this? -- gdscei talk  09:44, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I believe that was all set up by Ultradude25. Everything should be able to be copied over from the English wiki, however it will all need to be translated. You may want to ask him how it's all set up. -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  09:48, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

Dutch Minecraft wiki application
Hello, I would like to be an Admin of the Dutch Minecraft wiki.

Username: Stevinator

The Languages I speak: Dutch, English (both good), a little French and German (not very good), Latin and ancient-Greek (True!).

My experience with wiki's: I've been Admin on some Wiki's, I have also been a Bureacrat on some, and a normal user on others.

Relation with Minecraft: OMGWTFAWESOME24/7UBERADDICTION nothing much else to say about that...

What am I able to help out with: deleting spam, correcting grammar (You would be surprised to know how little Dutch people can actually speak Dutch without much gramatical errors.), adding pictures (Not scared of a creeper or lava), helping the community, adding information, and that sort of stuff.

How long have I played Minecraft: I play Minecraft since the Alpha.

Why this application is so long: [quote] If it's worth doing, it's worth OVERdoing

 * Everything you want to help with is already possible without being an admin, lol. Things like deleting pages, protecting pages and such are admin tasks. gdscei 12:18, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

Up for admin
Hi,

I read that the Dutch section needed some help, and after checking it out I couldn't agree more. Some important pages are full of mistakes. If you don't find enough capable people, I can give it a try. Dutch is my native language so that shouldn't be a problem. The downside is: I have zero experience in wiki editing, that is why I rather edit some stuff first. To contact me, pm in minecraftforums at equz.

Have a great day. Noah

PS: in the meantime, i recommend some changes, cause the dutch section seems to be written by a (no offence intended) 12-year old. As i said, i don't really have any experience so I'm not sure how it works but the block translations, who I think a non-admin can't change (because they are linked, or used within codes), are a bit off. For exemple: suiker rieten should be suikerriet, dinamiet -> dynamiet, champions -> champignons, toon blok -> nootblok, ... I'll try to edit it, but I'm not sure I can.

I can speak English, my main language, very fluently, and would be glad to help out as an admin. I do know some French, my secondary language, but not too much. I do not have any experience as an admin for a Wiki, but I'm hoping to get some here. I tend to be up to date on what's new in Minecraft, and I'm ready to add to the Wiki when new content is released, or if I find any new information.

Dutch translator with experience.
Hello Wynthyst,

I saw your topic on the mc forums. I'm not really sure if you can use me. But I've been translating a lot of English to Dutch. I've been a subber for a fan sub-group for anime's for more than a year now. So if you would choose me, you would get speedy translations.

I've always been working with a someone that checks my translations. That went pretty well.

Like I said, I work with time frames. We agree that the article is translated at 12 pm, then it will be translated at 12 pm. You will always be sure that I've done my work.

I'm very excited about this. I hope you'll see something in me :)

Kind Regards,

Jordy also known as Hero

--Hero88 14:45, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Hi Hero :D You know, anyone can work on the translation. And your help would be greatly appreciated. I'm looking for administrators who will be active contributors as well. Please register your account on the Dutch wiki and have at it. The mainpage in particular still needs major translation, as well as dealing with all the red links. There are a few other active contributors there... work with them and let's see if we can't make it a better wiki for the Dutch community. I will be making a decision on the administrator positions in a couple of weeks once I see how things are progressing.

Can you link the Chinese section I made to the projects and make me an admin of it?

Is there a page for what the copyrights either Curse.com or Minepedia claim over the wiki's content?

 * Um, that's not correct. All material, whether text or images are subject to copyright or licensing.

Apply to the admin possition.
Why hello there, let me introduce myself. My name is Thescorpi0n (Real name is Tim), and my first language is dutch. I'm 16 years old, and I think I can translate English texts pretty well, and therefor I'm applying for the admin possition. I would love to help people out with helping them getting knowledge from the minecraftwiki. Even though I don't have much experience with wiki's other than just using it, I would love to give this a shot, because something gotta be the first one aye'. I see that there aren't really much pages and info on the dutch minecraftwiki yet, so I would love to add and translate some I own minecraft since the alpha version, and have pretty much experience with it. Well, I guess I'll hear from you then.

--Thescorpi0n 18:59, 9 March 2011 (UTC)


 * You seem to be under the impression that you have to be an admin to help with the translation. You do not. If you wish to contribute to the Dutch wiki, simply register an account and go to it. I am looking for active editors to promote to admin to assist with the general maintenance of the site.

Header Tabs
You mentioned on the historization page that you could use header tabs, could you explain that to me? MoonBeans 19:50, 13 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Here is a page on another wiki that uses it. http://www.faxionwiki.com/Vainglory it allows me to "stack" the tables, however, it can be used to do the same to text or any other data. Also, the tabs can be configured to look more like tabs with outlines etc. It simply worked better on that wiki to not do it that way. -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  19:53, 13 March 2011 (UTC)

Minecraft Sports
Hi Wynthyst,

you just deleted my entry as Minecraft Sports Discussion. I'm sorry if that was not the apropriate place to make a suggestion. But I really like to learn more about Minecraft Sports and think that would be an enrichment to this wiki and not very simple stuff everyone already knows.

So were is the right place to do such a suggestion?

And I'm also wondering why things get deleted here so quickly and unrecoverably. I was hoping to still find a history with older versions of that stuff, so that things aren't completely lost.

Cheers Zodac
 * The forum is the proper place for that kind of stuff. I believe there was some discussion about "sports" on the Community Portal talk page (Minecraft_Wiki_talk:Community_portal/Archive_3), you might want to check the archives. Things that are inappropriate are deleted when they are found. Since category pages can't be moved, there really is no option other than to delete them. Everything that gets deleted can be restored, but a random category talk page is unlikely to be. -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  12:16, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

Dutch sysop (2)
Hello, I would like to apply for the role of sysop on the Dutch Minepedia. I am very experienced with wiki software (I am running my own at the moment). I know when to block and not to block, I know how to handle the rollback tool, the delete tool, and the other tools.

Dutch Administration
I'd like to help make the Dutch Minecraft Wiki a better place. I've just recently started adding articles, but I'm eager to add more.

If it is of great importance: I haven't had much experience with Wiki's, but i've had some experience with administrating several forums and game servers.

If it helps: I've started out creating a standard layout for items on the dutch wiki. This should making more articles easier. I'm also busy adding translations.

--Kettling 15:54, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep up the good work. I'm not making any quick decisions about this as I feel it's important. -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  17:42, 29 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Dear Wynthyst, I have a few questions regarding the dutch wiki.
 * First: I made a basic layout for items on the Dutch page for Bone, since it wasn't in use yet. . One of the Dutch admins liked it but told me to consult the English admin. The titles in English are:
 * 1. Availability (as in, where to get it)
 * 2. Usage (as in, anything except crafting)
 * 3. Crafting (literally: Processing, we have no good dutch translation for crafting (I checked multiple sources for that word)) (Both using workbench and Furnace)
 * (There is a small bug with the crafting grid in there, since it's still a work in progress from another user, so I don't know the name of the bonemeal file yet.)
 * 4. Trivia (Facts like release day etc)
 * 5. References (obvious I think)
 * 6. See also (Articles that can be of particular interest for people who read this one)


 * Second: Since the "Been" article I somehow lost my ability to create a new page. Is this a very recent change in policy, or did I do something that has caused me to lose this right?
 * Third: The Dutch version of the wiki seems to lack a Citation Needed template, is this something I should report to you or a dutch Administrator?


 * Yours Truly, --Kettling 19:14, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
 * We changed our configuration slightly this morning to make it harder for spammers to attack the wikis. To get your page creation rights back you simply need to make 10 other edits.. go fix some typos or something and have it be at least 3 days since you created your account. I'm sorry for the inconvenience, but we've had ongoing spam attacks and this is the best way to resolve them right now. As for page layouts and page titles, I want to see all 6 sites working in sync on this kind of stuff with the English wiki taking the lead. So if there is an article on the English wiki, it should be followed as far as layout etc, on the multi lingual subdomains. As for templates, talk to the Dutch admins, or wait til your once again able to create pages and do it yourself :D -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  19:25, 29 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Dear Wynthyst, I have had a look at the first 12 items in the items table, but there are differences in the page layout. Which item should the page layout for future item-related dutch articles follow? The Dutch version I just posted did contain everything that occured in the English item pages, but not all english item pages contain all sections. (Oh, I just noticed I forgot something in my previous description that might be notable: point 3, crafting is both crafting with a workbench and crafting with a furnace.) --Kettling 19:37, 29 March 2011 (UTC)


 * I would use the layout that provides the most information. This is a discussion that the admins need to take up as part of the new Directors discussions. Keep up the good work. -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  19:42, 29 March 2011 (UTC)


 * In that case, would it be wise, and possible, for me to submit the layout I made as a topic for the Directors discussions? Yours truly, --Kettling 19:46, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

Directors discussion page
Some of the text I've seen about Project:Directors suggests that it's intended to be specifically admin-only. I understand that it's meant to be a central discussion point for all admins from the six language versions of the MC Wiki, but is the intention indeed to have it closed to non-admins, or is that just a misunderstanding on my part? 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 01:44, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
 * No, that is the intention. If you wish to have input on any of the topics, take it to the admins of your wiki. While nothing that is done on any of the wikis is intended to be done without community input, the director's page is strictly for dialogue between the admins of the various language sites. -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  01:48, 30 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Is it possible to add a link to the directors page on the sidebar, that only shows up for people in the directors group? – ultradude25 ( T at 01:56, 30 March 2011 (UTC)


 * All right, I'm not going to argue it, but I will voice my opinion that it seems an unnecessary restriction, especially given the technical nature of the discussions currently taking place on it - if I have something I want to say there in relation to technical matters (especially templates), but have to go through an admin, I have no guarantee they will be able to correctly articulate what I'm wanting to say, and even less guarantee that they'll quote me instead of trying to rephrase it, or even just offer a link to my comment. I appreciate the desire to control who participates in these discussions, but it may be better in the long run to at least allow those non-admin editors with technical inclinations and experience to participate in the technical discussions.
 * Now, as for why I asked this, based on my skimming of the crafting template animations discussion, it looks like the German wiki wanted a loop extension installed so they could have animations without needing actual animated images. If this is the case, I was going to point out that, since Javascript is being used anyways, it would be possible to create a pure JS solution to this (making use of class names), without needing any additional extensions (though I myself don't know nearly enough about coding in JS to create such a solution). 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 02:03, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Well that discussion was on this page to start with, and the extension has already been installed. Feel free to go to the template page, or to the admin's talk page and discuss your ideas there. Technically, the specifics of that discussion don't really belong on the Director's page but rather on the template page. -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  02:17, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I've actually been intending to have a closer look at that template at some point anyways; I have the nagging feeling that its code/logic could be simplified by a decent amount (not that I am suggesting anything about Ultradude's coding skills; he did an amazing job on the template as is ;) ). 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 03:09, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm sure your coding expertise will be appreciated. -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  03:13, 30 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Say what you want about my coding skills, they're non-existent. I really just punch the keyboard for a bit and hope something works... :P – ultradude25 ( T at 03:20, 30 March 2011 (UTC)


 * LOL, I've had days like that... Keep at it, and you'll improve. ;) 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 03:58, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
