 * Oops, I used that little button thingy. Same thing happened on Meeples10's talk page. --70.181.68.226 01:56, 20 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Its fine, it is an input box which is a special plugin the Minecraft wik uses. I have some experience with it because it is also used on Wikipedia. Falkirks Talk  16:00, 20 June 2013 (UTC)

Some file tips
A few things about how we handle files. When Curse started to set up other language wikis, they decided that the German and Dutch wikis should share the same database location as the English wiki. This causes an issue when one of the three moves or deletes a file, which then corrupts the file on the other two. It also causes an annoying side effect of sharing preferences if a user has the same username on two or all three wikis. We are expecting the language wiki databases to be split once Curse wraps up their new wikifarm conversion, which will also upgrade our MW to the most recent version. This also brings me to an issue we have with the title blacklist. For some reason, our blacklist does not work with files. We have performed some tests a few months ago in order to prevent users from uploading files with the default Minecraft screenshot name, but they failed. Hopefully, this issue will be fixed when we upgrade.

Another thing to note is how the Mojang license works. We do not have the Wikipedia copyright policy that files must be used, nor do we have the restriction of using copyrighted files only in articles. Anything Mojang has branded may be uploaded to this wiki and used on this wiki in any way, provided that the media and derivatives are marked, such as mods and skins, with the license. Files under a copyright not related to Mojang, Curse, etc., or in Wikipedia terms, "non-free files", can also be used in any way provided the copyright involved also has some sort of personal use, permission, or other similar clause. Just like Wikipedia's non-free article use, just on our whole wiki. 06:25, 21 June 2013 (UTC)
