Minecraft Wiki:Admin noticeboard

Someone removed the old .json code in a tutorial
I was browsing about behavior packs and a way to make one, then I found that the manifest.json example in https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Tutorials/Creating_behavior_packs was very different from the one in resource packs tutorial.

Can you rollback the changes? Btw I already found the right files in Mojang's Vanilla Behavior Pack example, so I can still progress through the tutorial.

Thank you.

Finally back / RE Herobrine's page
Hello current Minecraft Wiki admins. I am Kizzycocoa, a former admin for a period of 8 years, if I recall correctly. I've finally regained control of my account following several years of waiting and back-and-forth with the staff. Apologies for the stray comment on the talk page - I am not permitted to remove it it seems. It has been a fair while.

Sadly, the way it has worked out, they've essentially had to fully reset my account. I'm about to go on a soul-search to reacquire old pages from the source code. It is going to take some time I fear, to convert the old HTML to wiki markup.

I had an agreement when I left the wiki team. I would be permitted to make edits to the Herobrine page. I had quite the extensive history there. Now that I have finally regained control, can I have that privilege reaffirmed?

Thanks in advance for your reply,

--Kizzycocoa (talk 23:52, 6 August 2020 (UTC)


 * Great to see you back. :)


 * The Herobrine page is currently only semi-protected, so you (and any registered user) should be able to edit it, but let me know if you can't (I've also removed the duplicate post on the admin noticeboard talk page, as I presume that's what you wanted).--Madminecrafter12 (Talk to me 23:57, 6 August 2020 (UTC)


 * Ah, I see. Opened it to the public? A tad risky, but I suppose by now, the meme has probably died down. Good to hear though, I suppose I only saw I couldn't edit it as I wasn't properly logged in.
 * Still, thanks for the reply and help! I wish there were some way that Gamepedia would recognise the true age of the account, but eh. I guess this is the best that can be done. All because Twitch screwed up my original account with an auto-deleted account that refused to merge, then GDPR wiped my page away. Bleh.


 * Thanks again! --Kizzycocoa (talk 00:01, 7 August 2020 (UTC)


 * The protection has been at its current level for a while now and it hasn't received an excessively large amount of disruptive edits. I remember how annoying it was before, where any registered user who wanted to modify the page would have to ask an admin to perform every single edit. And do note that it does still have semi-protection, so anonymous users are still not able to edit it. –Preceding unsigned comment was added by Madminecrafter12 (talk • contribs) at 02:11, 7 August 2020 (UTC).

Can't edit the page "Bedrock Dedicated Server" to explain how to fix an issue connecting on a local machine
I am trying to edit https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/index.php?title=Bedrock_Dedicated_Server and add a new paragraph under the section "Connection" to explain how it's possible to connect to a BDS on Minecraft for Windows 10 on a local machine but I get the following as the error message: "Global AF - New user posting suspicious links". Everything after this sentence is exactly what I wanted to post to the page (I had to separate the offending URL with spaces and replace the "."s with DOT but if you go into the editor you can remove the spaces and replace the dots to see what I was trying to reference):

By default Minecraft for Windows 10 does not support connections to a server hosted on the same machine (where you connect via 127.0.0.1/localhost). To fix this you must launch Windows PowerShell as an administrator and run the following :

Sprites can't be updated
Currently, the sprite editor is broken, so I tried to added Broken Anvil manually to BlockSprite and InvSprite by editing the module and image, but it didn't work. Sprites from InvSprite link to, which doesn't go to revision , but instead the "latest" revision, which actually uses revision  This means that Broken Anvil for InvSprite still shows  which is replaced with the actual Broken Anvil in the latest revision of InvSprite.png. I'm not sure if that is the problem, but that's what I think might be it. --Unavailablehoax (talk) 08:53, 25 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I also confirmed that. I thought the reverse proxy server cache was lagging, but it's not going to go away after quite some time. Pneuma01 (talk) 10:07, 25 August 2020 (UTC)

The one reason is that Template:FileUrl, which is used in Module:Sprite, should be updated. (which was't returned by  before migration, at least I think so) need to be cut off. Then works well.--Chixvv (talk) 12:06, 25 August 2020 (UTC)
 * It wasn't returned, but it seems versions need to be exact now. Just any version will not work. will show a blank image.
 * Can we check that all versions used in sprites are valid? --AttemptToCallNil (report bug, view backtrace) 12:19, 25 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Also, the caching issue may be fixable. I'm not sure we should hurry to update a key template in a manner that might break everything and end up useless. --AttemptToCallNil (report bug, view backtrace) 12:24, 25 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I don't know why you said the version used in sprites might be invalid. It doesn't need to be completely exact. For InvSprite.png, 20200823200309, 99999999999999, 1598212989555, 1598212999999, etc. work the same now. Template:FileUrl should be update anyway because it can't work properly now, which has nothing to do with caching issue, and simply cutting off  will not break any existing content.--Chixvv (talk) 13:19, 25 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Oh, it works? Probably just took too long for me to load at first. --AttemptToCallNil (report bug, view backtrace) 13:22, 25 August 2020 (UTC)

And if you like, we can also make FileUrl2 a separate template that uses to support for downscaling images.--Chixvv (talk) 15:17, 25 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I fixed it, the error was in my testing code and not the template itself. I passed the query as the second (size) parameter. --AttemptToCallNil (report bug, view backtrace) 17:18, 27 August 2020 (UTC)

Protect Piglin
Now the main reason would be the change from hostile to neutral and back and forth.---HumiebeeDiscuss anything with me Look at my edits 19:29, 25 August 2020 (UTC)

Hostile
They are hostile because that is their default nature. Baby piglins spawn much less frequently than normal piglins and piglins are neutral if the player is wearing gold armor a very specific term, if we called piglins neutral, why is the drowned called hostile? they are passive during the day, that is why that terminalogy is incorrect, most of the edits that change hostile to neutral are from ip-adrresses so it would be nice to protect it with semi protection.
 * Suggesting that the categories of "hostile", "neutral", and "friendly" mobs are disbanded due to definition ambiguities with whether a mob is neutral or not. I believe the categories are always replaceable, including by more detailed introduction sections. --AttemptToCallNil (report bug, view backtrace) 20:00, 25 August 2020 (UTC)

Why does MCT:Community portal/Archive 28 exist?
Looking at the dates, they conflict with archive 26-27 (Archive 26 is Q1 and 2 of 2019, 27 is Q3 & 4, 28 is 2019 (whole year). Why?

Changes to "Useful pages" list in wiki sidebar
I have two changes proposed to the "Useful pages" list in the sidebar of the wiki to the left, if it is possible to implement.
 * 1) Change the link texts of "Resource pack" and "Redstone circuit" to plural form, for consistency to the other links in the list and the links from "Popular and useful pages" on the main page.
 * 2) Exchange some links from the sidebar "Useful pages" and the main page "Popular and useful pages" that one or the other does not already have. I'm not gonna specify any links myself because I haven't thought it through, but you can discuss it if needed.

In my opinion, suggestion 1 should be implemented regardless. 82.102.22.7 02:05, 16 September 2020 (UTC)


 * suggestion 1, as it seems pretty straightforward and non-controversial. Doing the later sounds like a good idea to me, but I'd be interested to see what other people think and what exact links should be added and removed to/from both of the lists. --Madminecrafter12 (Talk to me 15:46, 23 September 2020 (UTC)

Semi protect Splash
A week ago User:Nixinova protected Splash for a week, but the disruption resumed after the protection lifted, and one anon is currently edit-warring about it. There is talk page discussion about this too, with the anon basically stating an intent to continue disruption. I recommend semi-protection at least until the US federal election is over on 3 November. ~ Amatulic (talk) 23:48, 19 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Semi-protection would probably not work, they'll just keep registering accounts. Other measures to handle this are being taken. --AttemptToCallNil (report bug, view backtrace) 00:15, 20 September 2020 (UTC)

 * Protection is now full until Sep 27, but i think that they will still be coming back. James Haydon (talk) 03:59, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Seems like semi protection would have been sufficient to prevent anonymous IP addresses and brand-new accounts from editing. Does semi work differently here compared to Wikipedia? ~ Amatulic (talk) 06:05, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Semi = registered on Gamepedia, annoyingly. <b style="border:1px solid #10a"> Nixinova </b> <b style="border:1px solid #06f"> T </b> <b style="border:1px solid #0af"> C </b></b>  06:11, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Huh. Isn't there a means of protection here that imposes an age and activity threshold? On the English Wikipedia where I'm an admin, "semi" protects against registered accounts that are less than 5 days old OR have less than 10 edits. We also have "extended confirmed", which protects against registered accounts less than 30 days old OR have less than 500 edits. And of course full protection. Oh, and there's another one called "pending changes protection" that I rarely use because I regard it as useless; it's weaker than semi, letting anybody edit but not making that edit visible publicly until a user with the "reviewer" right approves the change (as far as I've seen, this protection level just creates more work for others). ~ Amatulic (talk) 06:30, 20 September 2020 (UTC)

Correction, 3 days for autoconfirmed---HumiebeeDiscuss anything with me Look at my edits 19:52, 20 September 2020 (UTC)

 * No, it's not 5 days, it is 3, also both are required, see WP:autoconfirm, and I mean wikipedia---HumiebeeDiscuss anything with me Look at my edits 21:47, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Actually, they changed it to 4 days :P---HumiebeeDiscuss anything with me Look at my edits 21:50, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Here on Gamepedia users become autoconfirmed upon registering, so semi-protection allows all accounts to edit. If I recall correctly, you can't directly add a protection level that restricts editing to a custom user group; that is, we would not be able to have autopatrol protection or patroller protection. A possible but not very practical solution would be to use abuse filters. --Madminecrafter12 (Talk to me 15:41, 23 September 2020 (UTC)

 * A lot of the edits are not necessarily vandalism but rather editorializing and other forms of disruptive edits. There also seem to have been several constructive IP edits in the last month, and the most recent case of vandalism was actually from a registered user, which semi-protection would not be effective against. I'll wait a week or so and if there's a significant amount of disruptive editing by unregistered users in that time I'll protect for a month or so, otherwise leave it alone.--Madminecrafter12 (Talk to me 16:09, 24 September 2020 (UTC)
