a new page was blocked
I've created a tutotial on how to play in Minecraft in LAN using software. Was blocked because it's possibly can be unwanted. What I did wrong? –Preceding unsigned comment was added by Arbaktos (talk • contribs) at 14:08, 7 December 2018 (UTC). Please sign your posts with

I can't edit here
everytime I try to edit, it won't let me. Can you make an update to fix this bug? I can't even create pages. They would be very helpful. –Preceding unsigned comment was added by 74.105.247.66 (talk) at 18:24, 10 December 2018 (UTC). Please sign your posts with


 * The filters appear to be working correctly. As per the style guide, articles must contain a reasonable amount of content, and should not duplicate existing pages (such as this one). -- Orthotopetalk 01:04, 11 December 2018 (UTC)


 * Yeah, the filter that "prevents creation of unwanted pages" is quite strict and it makes it extremely difficult for unregistered and new users to actually create a page. I would probably support lowering the strictness of the filter. We can't disable it completely because most of the pages it catches are unconstructive and without the filter the Minecraft Wiki would be overrun with vandalism pages. In you're case, I'm not sure about EE 1.7, as looking at the website it seems like it's actually Education Edition 1.7. If that's the case then we should make it a redirect but again, I'm not really sure enough to do anything. As for TU1, I've now redirected it to the Console Version History page. It's a likely search term and readers, like you, may think that there is no article on it yet if it doesn't redirect. We may should create redirects to the LCE version history page for all versions (e.g. Patch 24, TU63, etc.) for ease when searching. I hope you continue contributing to the Minecraft Wiki!-- Madminecrafter12 Orange Glazed Terracotta.png to meLight Blue Glazed Terracotta.png 14:24, 12 December 2018 (UTC)

delete section TFF multiplication clock from Clock circuit
my reason: the youtube video no longer exists. Jessietessie (talk) 11:16, 26 December 2018 (UTC)


 * Thanks for letting us know. I've removed the YouTube video, but I'm not sure about removing the whole section completely, as it does contain some info other than the video. However, the info is very limited and it is a bit messy as well, so rewriting and expanding that section would probability be beneficial, preferably with a video that works for demonstration.-- Madminecrafter12 Orange Glazed Terracotta.png to meLight Blue Glazed Terracotta.png 16:19, 31 December 2018 (UTC)

Imbedded Twitch link
The Twitch link that is usually at the top of the page disappeared after I reloaded the page. After reloading the page several more times it still didn't come up again and I can't figure out how to get it to appear again.

 * It was removed by Curse as a result of the acquisition. --Pcj (talk) 23:10, 8 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Will it ever return?--Rowanmbs cat (talk • contribs) at 23:00, 08 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Since Curse Media (the subsidiary that runs Gamepedia) is no longer owned by Twitch, that part of the site header no longer made much sense to continue to include. It most likely will not return. Any changes to the Twitch channel embedding on content pages, however, have not yet been confirmed. Twitch will remain as the primary authorization / login method for Gamepedia at this point in time, however. DSquirrelGMGRASP logo.png &#120035;&#120031;&#120018; 05:19, 9 January 2019 (UTC)

Licensing legal issues
The licensing WikiProject has members who are adding license templates to unlicensed non-Minecraft-related files but some of the licenses are possibly not correct. For instance some images that are almost definitely copyrighted by Mojang are being tagged with CC-BY. This could have legal implications for the wiki if this continues to happen. Should something be done about this? – Nixinova   01:17, 11 January 2019 (UTC)


 * Fixed some of them just now. Some are copyrighted by Mojang as Minecraft is either shown or mentioned, or part of the Mojang logo is shown. Others are in the public domain as they are freely seen on web articles or social media. -BDJP (t 02:17, 11 January 2019 (UTC)


 * Public domain usually only applies to government works, or if the creator has explicitly placed it there; whether or not you can find an image on other sites has no bearing on its copyright status. If the licensing status is not known, it is probably copyrighted. -- Orthotopetalk 05:00, 11 January 2019 (UTC)


 * Honestly, I'm not a fan of the whole license system right now on Minecraft Wiki. We allow many images to have no specified license on them indefinitely, and nothing happens. What if all of them turn out to be fully copyrighted? If using the wrong license could have legal implications, wouldn't this as well? In addition, License copyright says that fully copyrighted are allowed with a fair use rationale, but what? What kind of fair use rationale is needed?-- Madminecrafter12 Orange Glazed Terracotta.png to meLight Blue Glazed Terracotta.png 13:25, 11 January 2019 (UTC)


 * I don't know anything about licences. But I do think a whole overhaul of our system is needed, because right now I don't have a clue which licence applies to which type of image. My rule of thumb is, if I don't know, others might not as well. – Jack McKalling [ Grid Book and Quill.png Grid Diamond Pickaxe.png ] 09:07, 13 January 2019 (UTC)


 * I suggest a license template for logos (e.g. ). CuervoTalk 07:33, 20 January 2019 (UTC)

Mods/2DCraft Vandalism
The Mods/2DCraft page has an entire section about another game by that game's creator stuck in the middle. Isn't this irrelevant to the mod? --Aido (talk) 14:34, 13 January 2019 (UTC)

Vandalizing offensive image uploader
The user uploaded six versions of the same offensive image, and (used them when he) vandalized a page twice. See his contributions, it's the only things he's done. – Jack McKalling 09:34, 16 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Blocked and nuked. That's not exactly the thing I want to wake up to. --AttemptToCallNil (report bug, view backtrace) 09:39, 16 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Note that I've requested on Discord for a Gamepedia Staff to check the IP addresses of Diagnosticlord and, as behavior similarities make me think that they might be the same person. If they do turn out to be the same person, I'm not sure if I should go ahead and up ItsWreep's block to indefinite or keep it as it is.-- Madminecrafter12 Orange Glazed Terracotta.png to meLight Blue Glazed Terracotta.png 15:24, 16 January 2019 (UTC)

It is ok if I make a new page, right?
I want to make a page called upcoming 1.14. Is it ok? 50.90.140.195 13:33, 20 January 2019 (UTC)


 * Perhaps you could elaborate a bit further what content you're thinking it would have? We already have the page 1.14 so I don't see why we would need another one.-- Madminecrafter12 Orange Glazed Terracotta.png to meLight Blue Glazed Terracotta.png 16:03, 20 January 2019 (UTC)

 * /video pages are not going to be added for any youtuber's videos, the only youtube accounts that get video pages are from minecraft spotlights (retired, they used to who own the wiki IIRC), and slicedlime (mojang employee). Any other channel's videos on this wiki would make the style of the videos inconsistent across the whole wiki. Slicedlime's videos are only for update pages, so that's fine, but then we shouldn't add aome other random youtuber's update video to update pages as well/instead. Same with articles about mechanics, blocks, items, entities, etc. FVbico (talk) 00:55, 21 January 2019 (UTC)

Add speedrun tutorial

 * What was some of the contents of your edit? Were you creating the page as a Subpage of Tutorials (eg Tutorials/Speedrunning)? – Nixinova Nixinova sig image 1.png Nixinova sig image 2.png 00:50, 22 January 2019 (UTC)

Yes, the goal was to create a subpage under Tutorials. I have temporarily posted the proposed content on my own Talk page so you can see it.

 * Hi and welcome to the Minecraft Wiki! Your edit was caught in an abuse filter, which is basically a set of rules that disallow an edit that meets certain conditions. They are meant to prevent vandalism and spam but occasionally hit false positives. This particular abuse filter you got caught in, although effective, catches quite a few false positives and makes it difficult for a user who has made less than a certain number of edits to create a new page; I'm sorry you had to go through that. You did the right thing reporting here; I have now created the page as Tutorials/Speedrun, given you the attribution in the edit summary of my creation, and will be doing a little bit of cleanup to it. Thank you for contributing the Minecraft Wiki and let me know if you have any questions.-- Madminecrafter12 Orange Glazed Terracotta.png to meLight Blue Glazed Terracotta.png 04:06, 22 January 2019 (UTC)

 * If I'm understanding you correctly, which I'm not sure I am, those seem like strange problems that I've never heard of before. So you're logged out and then when you click the edit button you're logged back in, and then when you go back to reading the page you're logged out? Often one gets randomly logged out occasionally, it happens to me a lot, but usually you should be able to sign back in with no issue. I'll report this on Slack.--Madminecrafter12 (Talk to me 20:09, 20 February 2019 (UTC)
