Minecraft Wiki:Admin noticeboard

Directors

 * Moved from User talk:Majr by NickTheRed37 at 13:38, 1 March 2015 (UTC).

This is the topic to inform of changing the MCW:Directors page and adding/removing director rights. Please don’t take this as a duplicate of Former admins and MCW:Directors above, because this topic allows to inform of that in a much more organized manner.

Minecraft Wiki:Directors

 * KO: Alswo9628 should be fixed to Alswo96284. —  Agent Nick the Red37 (talk &middot; contribs) f.k.a. Naista2002 18:18, 25 February 2015 (UTC)
 * RU: Remove Teksel, since he does not intend to return to the project. —  Agent Nick the Red37 (talk &middot; contribs) f.k.a. Naista2002 18:18, 25 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Global: Remove citricsquid and Quatroking, since both are inactive. —  Agent Nick the Red37 (talk &middot; contribs) f.k.a. Naista2002 18:18, 25 February 2015 (UTC)


 * The directors page doesn't display activity. If they still have admin rights, then they should still be on the directors page. Also, this belongs on the admin noticeboard. –Majr 08:31, 1 March 2015 (UTC)

Minecraft Forums interwiki
Since the Minecraft forums changed their design, their links also changed, and while old style links are still compatible, it is impossible to locate the old style links from the new forum design. As such, two of the old Minecraft Forum interwikis (mcf and mcftopic) are obsolete. The news links appear unchanged.

The new url consists of first  (note the addition of the "s"), then base on the type it contains the following:
 * Sub-forums use a specific combination of letters and dashes
 * Topics use any combination of letters and dashes followed by a slash, then the topic ID

A solution would be changing  to   and   to http://www.minecraftforum.net/forums/topic/$1, though this would break previous links. The only other solution would be adding one or two new interwiki links.

If you look into the past two months of history, you see a lot of reverted unconstructive edits. There was even one with the word "stuipid" in it, and another replacing the first word with "lols". It must be protected. 108.210.219.207 21:56, 6 March 2015 (UTC)


 * It's fine. Minor vandalism can be a way to learn how to edit a wiki when there isn't anything obvious that needs doing. And responding to it keeps the rest of us engaged and invested. :) &mdash;munin &middot; Grid_Book_and_Quill.png Grid_Stone_Pickaxe.png &middot; 22:14, 6 March 2015 (UTC)

Account Name Change
My wiki account name was recently changed from User:Legoless to User:McLego. I wasn't given any notification about this and I'd prefer if it could be changed back. Thanks! --McLego (talk) 22:45, 11 March 2015 (UTC)


 * That was likely due to the migration to gamepedia, quite a few usernames changed then if the user had not logged in since then.
 * I would advise you to contact, since usernames are now handled by Curse. – KnightMiner  · (t) 14:56, 12 March 2015 (UTC)


 * Thanks, I sent a message. --McLego (talk) 15:51, 14 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Hello there. Unfortunately, that username is taken by another Curse user somewhere. I'm guessing that this issue is leftover from the migration. Let me know if there are any other similar username's you'd like me to check for availability (e.g. LegoLesss, LegoLess1, etc).

 * Alternately, if you think the account named "LegoLess" does belong to you, get in touch with me [mailto:community@gamepedia.com via e-mail] and if you can verify the e-mail address on that account, we can see about merging them or renaming as the situation requires.

want blocked
Hello, I want a like, indefinite block with a random reason. MinecraftWikiLover (talk) 09:39, 14 March 2015 (UTC)
 * We only block for abusive actions, while you weren't abusing much and you shouldn't. — NickTheRed37 t/c (f.k.a. Naista2002) 09:41, 14 March 2015 (UTC)

Site notice about new guidelines
Recently, the talk page guidelines were added and some major changes were made to the wiki rules and the style guide. Can we add a site notice alerting users to the changes for a bit, since otherwise the changes may go unnoticed to those who do not watch the community portal (especially in the case of the talk page guidelines, which mostly are new or previously unstated rules on a new article). It may be relevant to link the discussions involved, which are mainly MCT:Community portal and MCT:Community portal – KnightMiner  · (t) 02:41, 15 March 2015 (UTC)
