The page was getting too long, so I archived it. - CrazyBliep   NL Admin  20:06, 19 November 2013 (UTC)

Saw it in the recent changes, bad name in my opinion.  Meeples10 t ~ c 22:31, 22 November 2013 (UTC)


 * Doesn't seem outright offensive to me, and they haven't made any edits, so no action needed at this time. -- Orthotopetalk 07:15, 24 November 2013 (UTC)

Pocket Edition development versions
Could an admin kindly make this page for registered users only, it is a high traffic page and is affected by a lot of spam. –Goandgoo ᐸ Talk Contribs Edit count 02:08, 24 November 2013 (UTC)


 * Done. -- Orthotopetalk 07:15, 24 November 2013 (UTC)

13w48a
I added a new line in [Version_history/Development_versions#13w48a]. Since I am a new user, I cannot post external links.

Please add Server download link and update the version number on the homepage.

I added a new line in [Version_history/Development_versions#13w48a]. Since I am a new user, I cannot post external links.

Please add Server download link and update the version number on the homepage. (unsigned)

Same problem: I wanted to fix the broken link in Version history/Development versions for version for 13w48a, but it was blocked, because I am an IP. Please also update the Mainpage. --88.73.107.151 18:48, 25 November 2013 (UTC)

More than one water elevator section in the "other " section in the Shelters tut
There is more than one water elevator section in the "other " section in the Shelters tut. It does not seem right. --66.168.204.212 19:58, 25 November 2013 (UTC)

Page
I have made a page, and i would like it to be released. Here is a link: http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/index.php?title=Uploading_Earlier_Versions&action=submit


 * To make a page you need to click save page. That link only works if you have been editing it and is linked with save page or show preview. As such, the page cannot be put on the wiki and is lost. Next time, press save page. Redstone_(Dust).png Lennbot Redstone_(Dust).png ( talk - contributions) 20:53, 25 November 2013 (UTC)


 * It's gone forever?--108.230.40.67 20:10, 26 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Afraid so, at least there is no such page right now, and no saved draft on the wiki. It is possible that your browser has a copy saved, especially if it's Firefox: You might possibly be able to get back to the edit page, by way of the "Recently Closed Tabs" menu (under "History").   (Or if you've actually kept the tab and browser open, by the "back" button.) --MentalMouse42 (talk) 23:17, 26 November 2013 (UTC)
 * You might be able to find the page in the Wayback Machine. MrJoeBob(T) (Meeples10) 00:59, 27 November 2013 (UTC)

Somehow blocked by the non-administrator user Lobstarooo. Please unblock. MrJoeBob(T) 00:52, 27 November 2013 (UTC)


 * Strange that it would say that; block was actually applied by Powup333 on the Chinese wiki. No reason specified, try asking about it on his talk page. -- Orthotopetalk 02:20, 27 November 2013 (UTC)

Aether
There is already an official Aether wiki here: aether.wikia.com/wiki/The_Aether_Wiki:_Genesis_of_the_Void Maybe the aether page on the Minecraft wiki should mention it, because it has a lot of information. –Preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.173.14.157 (talk)&#32;17:52, 27 November 2013‎(UTC).

 * Yes, I came across this post while searching for vandalism. Yes, The aether information provided here is terrible. Yes, there IS a much better aether information wiki. But still, we should be giving the wiki and its contributors some slack. -- BrandSPim  (Need help?) 18:57, 27 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Well if you mean giving the Aether wiki's contributors some slack, that wouldn't really be a problem. I'm the owner of the Aether wiki and his idea would actually help out (if you need me to verify that I'm the owner, you can message me there and I will reply back. I have an owner usertag on my page). The Aether wiki's purpose is to help people who are confused with the mod, and mentioning it here would probably help anyone who's looking for more information. --Istolethepies (talk) 19:33, 27 November 2013 (UTC)


 * It would be nice if we could maintain full subtrees for major mods like the Aether, but I suspect we'd be competing with their own wiki for "labor" -- that is, most Aether fans will be putting their effort in over there, and few will be moved to duplicate their efforts over here. Given that, a mod's page certainly should have a prominent link to its own wiki. --MentalMouse42 (talk) 21:16, 27 November 2013 (UTC)


 * Link added to infobox. Most of the information here still dates to the first version of the mod, so it may make sense to direct people to the Aether wiki instead of trying to update everything. -- Orthotopetalk 21:39, 27 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Just so you know, the official site is here: www . gilded-games . com/aether/ The official wiki was the one I gave you. --Istolethepies (talk) 01:54, 28 November 2013 (UTC)

Pocket Edition development versions
I want to link to the Google+ Community and the beta opt-in page, but it says I am too new to do it. May someone add it for me? GeneralBacon9 (talk) 21:34, 28 November 2013 (UTC)

Cookie Page vandalized again, cannot remove
The person who vandalized the "Cookie" page, has vandalized it again, under a VPN or proxy of some sort. I was unable to remove this, because I am considered a "new user", which meant that I couldn't undo their changes. TomRBify (talk) 16:04, 30 November 2013 (UTC)

External-link filter false positive?
I tried to post something on the Talk page for Music discs, and it was blocked for containing "external links". There were no URLs in the post, nor any code at all. I'd paste the content of the post here, but obviously that would be blocked as well. Furthermore, I was already able to post external links in two other pages. Did it flag me as a spambot and just not correctly identify why I'm being blocked from posting? Stevethepocket (talk) 23:28, 2 December 2013 (UTC)


 * The YouTube link in the text above is erroneously catching your edit. If you use the "new section" feature, it should ignore other text. For some reason, the filter catches surrounding text when looking at added text. It's a known issue with the actual extension. 23:31, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

Posting a new page
Since I'm a new user, the filter detected my new page as unwanted and denied me permission to post it. I wanted to make a tutorial on The End since there aren't any fully detailed ones on the wiki. pastebin wPGVpziw contains the full text of what I wanted to post. Can an Admin give me permission to post this? Bwhodle (talk) 04:06, 4 December 2013 (UTC)


 * You've now made enough edits that you should be able to create the page without any problems. -- Orthotopetalk 04:20, 4 December 2013 (UTC)

I cannot post a page for my mod.
Hello. I cannot post my mod on here because I was denied permission to use external links. These links are only for the redirect to the official post for my mod.

Here is the error I received.

An automated filter has detected external links in your edit. As a new user, your action has been disallowed. If you believe your edit was constructive, please post a message on the admin noticeboard or notify an admin directly –Preceding unsigned comment was added by GamersMods (talk • contribs).

 * Only new users are restricted from posting links. If you make a few more edits, you will eventually be able to post links. 06:25, 6 December 2013 (UTC)

Cat CAPTCHA and external links
That "click on the cats" thing counts as an external link, which is not allowed for anyone not logged in. To be clear, this means no one can post if they're not logged in. The cats must be clicked, but they invalidate the post. Apparently this page is an exception. –Preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.68.154.229 (talk)&#32;07:31, 8 December 2013(UTC).

 * It does not count as an external link. The CAPTCHA has nothing to do with the abuse filters. Looking at your attempted edits, it's a minor glitch of data collected by the filter for an edit. I fixed the issue and you should be able to post now. Make sure to sign your talk page posts and next time don't spam admin talk pages especially when you already posted here.  08:07, 8 December 2013 (UTC)

Update of Tutorial blocked
Hey there,

I read Setting up a server and noticed that part of it is obsolete, so I tried to update it, section Running a 1.7.2 Server is the particular section I wanted to update. Although that section contains links to minecraft.net, so I'm not allowed to post the edit until an admin allows it. I'm not sure if I'll be returning to the wiki in the next few days, it would be great if an admin would post this. The edit I made can be found at pastebin: ZagPfPqf, Summary is: "/* Running a 1.7.2 Server */ Updated links and text to newest version; Removed Notepad++ reference (works with N++ just fine); Replaced line about cracked clients with authentication notice; removed obsolete direct links to the .jar files" Thanks! Cheet4h (talk) 07:13, 11 December 2013 (UTC)


 * The link that was catching you was an external screenshot link for this picture. On top of that though, your third attempt posting here was erroneously caught, which I fixed. I [ performed the edit] for you though as well as changing out that screenshot link.  10:23, 11 December 2013 (UTC)

Problem with Tutorials/Traps
On some "diagrams" it says red error text saying "Maximum number of loops have been performed". What does this mean and how can it be fixed? -- BrandSPim  (Need help?) 15:30, 13 December 2013 (UTC)


 * It's a limitation of how the BlockGrid template works. The best solution is converting them to use Schematic instead. Larger ones may need to be moved to subpages and dynamically loaded to avoid over-stressing the server. -- Orthotopetalk 23:03, 13 December 2013 (UTC)
