"EnderHopper" issues
Hi Dino, I just saw a video that showed that in the new 1.8 snapshot, enderchests work with hoppers now, but for some reason it didn't work on my minecraft. Could you find out if that may be just a snapshot bug, if it isn't, then well you know, tell me. 50.157.164.244CREEPERL0RD


 * Hello Creeperlord, unfortunately I can't provide support for Minecraft; truth be told, I haven't even played it in a couple of months or so. I would suggest instead asking in the forum or searching on the bug tracker to see if anyone else has experienced this.

Thanks for the cleanup on LatestMinorVersion
That was my first stab at a template; thanks a gazillion. – Sealbudsman (Aaron) (talk) – 19:46, 9 April 2014 (UTC)

Spoke too soon; it was broken; the case you used for null/undefined wasn't being hit or something, because it went to the outer #default and was putting 'unknown edition' everywhere. I just copy/pasted the case from Computer to #default. Yes, cringe, absolutely, but how to catch undefined/null in the expected place, maybe you know how, because I don't. – Sealbudsman (Aaron) (talk) – 19:58, 9 April 2014 (UTC)


 * Probably because I used  instead of  . At any rate, the new version works, so as long as you don't think it's terribly important to catch unknown values for "edition" (I don't), there shouldn't need to be any further fixes/adjustments aside from adding proper support for the other "edition" values. 「 ディノ 奴  千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 20:01, 9 April 2014 (UTC)

Mash Up packs
I am new here but I found the information page about Console Edition's Mash Up Packs has no Known Text information: this is what I'd like to put: Mash-up packs are DLC for the Console Edition as a combination of a Texture Pack and a Skin Pack, but only are they from any console games, such as Halo, or Mass Effect. –Preceding unsigned comment was added by TH3uncr4ft3d (talk • contribs)&#32;23:42, 17 May 2014&#32;(UTC).

Greetings!

I can't find a suitable category on the support section of the forum, and you are the first admin listed on the Admin Noticeboard. Could you please point me in the direction of the name change request form? I used this as my name (vollans_hl) when my regular name was already taken.

Spam blacklist issue
We seem to be getting a false positive (see File:Spamfilter.png), but I can't figure out which part of the filter is matching. I'm a bit concerned that a bunch of the recent additions don't include word boundaries, which makes it easier for them to accidentally match parts of domains they aren't supposed to. Can you help sort this out? -- Orthotopetalk 22:02, 1 June 2014 (UTC)


 * As far as I can tell, there's a rule somewhere matching all .co.uk domains; removing the entire section of rules from Spam blacklist didn't remove the errant match, so I suspect that one of the rules added there is incorrect. I've added a whitelist rule for mapreader.atspace.co.uk on the local whitelist until the problem is fixed on Meta. 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 22:49, 1 June 2014 (UTC)

Info on how to become an admin or bureaucrat.
Hi Dinoguy1000. I am Megasteel32 and I have been playing Minecraft since Indev and bought the game around the halloween update, similar to you. As you may see, I have a lot of experience with the game and want to give back to the game that has given me so much (Like no more boring weekends =]). I want to be able to contribute to the wiki, and help guide "N00bs" through the game, as well as to help more experienced Minecrafters with things like command blocks and redstone contraptions. I know that non-admins can edit wikis, but I think to stream line my contributions, and to limit trollers and greifers on the wiki, I think that admin would be the best way to go. I hope that you consider this, as I think I will be a great member of the gamepedia minecraft wiki admin/bureaucrat team. –Preceding unsigned comment was added by 99.102.136.65 (talk) at 01:47, 19 November 2014 (UTC).

 * "Also, we don't usually listen to admin requests (aside from ones for other languages that don't have many/any admins yet), instead we pick people that we have seen making exceptional contributions to the wiki and ask them if they want to be admin."

- Majr on Quatroking's talk page


 * –LauraFi talk 02:46, 19 November 2014 (UTC)


 * As pointed out, administrators are chosen based on exceptional contributions, not requests for administrative rights. Our admin team is currently sufficient to block trolls and vandals before any real problems happen, and regular users are fully capable of reverting vandalism just as well. Really everything you listed can be performed by regular users.
 * Instead of trying to become an admin, simply make good contributions to the wiki as a standard user, almost all good contributions are able to be performed by standard users. Find places where your knowledge of the game is helpful, such as the tutorials for the "noobs", and follow the rules and the style guide. Making an account is also advised.
 * I'm not an admin, just a regular user. – KnightMiner  (t·c) 03:32, 19 November 2014 (UTC)


 * While I don't agree at all with the tone of the discussion LauraFi quoted from, the quote itself has a point: we don't normally accept requests from users for adminship. Even my own request was shot down, and this was when I'd already been an administrator on Wikipedia for over a year, and had extensive experience with the tools there and elsewhere, and a specific need for them here. While I'm sure you'd make an excellent addition to the admin team here, we unfortunately cannot just take you at your word for it, instead requiring a proven track record of solid contributions; even after that, editors are normally approached as a need for additional admins arises, rather than accepting requests from editors. So my advice to you is broadly the same as KnightMiner's: make high-quality contributions (there's a lot you can do here that doesn't require the admin bit at all) and stay active. =) 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 03:42, 19 November 2014 (UTC)

There are not much active admins recently; I think it would be a good idea to make KnightMiner a new one. Before saying that you need Majr’s opinion on this, I’ll say that Majr is also inactive.

 * Majr edited several times yesterday or earlier today (depending on your timezone), and before that he only went a single week without editing, that's hardly what I'd call "inactive". In addition, given that he works for Curse now, I find it unlikely that he would take a sudden, unannounced leave of absence from the wiki. And at any rate I wouldn't have said I would need Majr's opinion specifically; rather, I would (and do) want a discussion showing community support for potential new administrators - I have no interest in unilaterally deciding the wiki needs more admins and appointing them myself. That being said, from what I've seen over the years, KnightMiner would be a top candidate, assuming he's actually interested; if you want to spearhead this, first ask him if he's interested, and if so, start a discussion on the community portal and a notice of the discussion on the admin noticeboard. After the discussion has run for a reasonable length of time (a couple of weeks or so, or shorter if there is overwhelming support and no valid concerns/objections), myself or another bureaucrat will review it and promote or refuse as necessary (you or anyone else should feel free to poke one of us if it seems we've forgotten somehow).

 * Several admins are still active, enough for most administrative tasks to be completed with reasonable time. For example, it only took Dinoguy two hours to respond here.
 * As for the tagging, most of the pages were tagged, although it would have been better to poke an admin before moving redirects rather than after. – KnightMiner  t/c 15:35, 28 February 2015 (UTC)


 * This approach is mostly useful in cases of page move vandalism, where restoring page titles quickly is important. The downside is that it clutters the move log and makes it harder to figure out which pages have moved to where, and why. None of these moves were particularly urgent; if anyone had bothered to ask on the admin noticeboard, they would have been taken care of. -- Orthotopetalk 08:23, 1 March 2015 (UTC)


 * Also, pages tagged aren't always ready to be moved.

 * Except in cases of vandalism (and even then, only if the vandalism is vulgar or otherwise offensive), there is no urgency to getting pages renamed. Knight, Ortho, and Majr have given several reasons not to perform renames using this method, except in those vandalism situations, so I'll only add that you seem to have a rather narrow idea of what qualifies for inactive: a few hours to maybe a day or so. General practice on major wikis is to give about a week or so when proposing changes such as pagemoves, because there are often editors who can only really be active every few days. There is no deadline, so there is no harm in waiting longer than just a few hours before deciding everyone's inactive and drastic measures have to be taken. 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 09:16, 1 March 2015 (UTC)

I notice you changed comment to change the logic. What is the nonsense with ~From Contrapple  01:21, 31 March 2015 (UTC)


 * What nonsense? It is simple parser functions.
 * It first asks if the second parameter is set to blank, in which case it displays nothing. If it is not blank, it adds a no breaking space, then text with the first character in uppercase. That text will be the second parameter if set, otherwise it defaults to the first parameter. If the first parameter is unset or blank, it defaults to "comment" – KnightMiner  t/c 01:42, 31 March 2015 (UTC)


 * To expand on what KnightMiner said with a bit of background, it takes advantage of some not-unsubtle behaviors/interactions between template parameters and ParserFunctions to distinguish between a parameter not being set in a given transclusion (if there's a parameter  in template , for example, this case would correspond to a transclusion where   doesn't appear, e.g.  ), the parameter being set but having no value (extending the previous example, something like  ), and the parameter being set and having a value (something like  ). The way I've always seen this done in the past - and have done it myself - is to set the parameter default to some value that should never occur in normal usage (often the not character   is used for this purpose, though I've seen other characters used), and then check if the parameter's value is equal to that character. This method can distinguish between all three cases using a   , or an   can instead be used e.g. to make sure no pages use a deprecated parameter ; note that distinguishing between a parameter that is unset or set but has no value, and a parameter with some value, just requires a   as you would expect.
 * This case accomplishes the same basic task in a slightly different way (one I've never actually seen before, which is why it took me several minutes to realize what was going on): by checking if, without a pipe, is equal to an empty string, you can distinguish between cases where the parameter is used but not given a value, and cases where it either has a value or isn't used. In the first case, its value is an empty string - as though it used a pipe in the template. In the second case, if the parameter isn't used at all, its value is  . This is quite clever, and I don't think I ever would have come up with it myself. 「 ディノ 奴  千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 02:33, 31 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Is there a page on Mediawiki wiki that explains this? ~From Contrapple Grid Empty Map.png 03:56, 31 March 2015 (UTC)
 * mediawikiwiki:Help:Templates is a good place to start, followed by m:Help:Template. -- Orthotopetalk 04:34, 31 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Could it possibly be short for if equal?75.165.42.19 23:53, 18 April 2015 (UTC)


 * I'm not really sure what you're referring to. If you mean just the  parser function itself, then yes, it's short for "if equal". If it helps, you can "read" it from left to right:   might be read as something like "if the parameter '  ' is equal to 'foo', do 'bar', else do 'quux'". 「 ディノ 奴  千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 00:34, 19 April 2015 (UTC)
