Being a Wiki Admin.
Wynthsyt, After reading a topic on the minecraftforum.net forums about the wiki needing more admins, i thought i might apply. I have had prior experiances with uses wikis for other games, like dead frontier, pokemon, and Call of duty. And have helped sort and type information for them. Altough only being able to speak english, I think my help could help perhaps just a little bit, or make a big impact. Not sure if I need to post contact information, but anyway I'll post it regardless; E-mail; Email removed MC Forum Name; xNightmare --XNightmare 08:34, 8 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks Nightmare. Keep your eyes open, more information will be forthcoming! Currently we are really looking for admins for the Dutch language wiki, but with as popular as Minecraft has become, there's always room for more here on the English wiki as well. -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  01:25, 8 March 2011 (UTC)


 * I'll always be available. --XNightmare 08:35, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

Interested in being a Wiki Admin
Hey Wynthst, I saw your post on the minecraft forum, and it immediately grabbed my attention. I fluently speak Dutch, along with English and a couple other languages, and I'd love to help. I 'm a frequent contributor to the actual wikipedia, along with being a site owner. Not sure if previous experience really matters here, but I thought it may! :)

I see Nightmare posted his contact info, so I shall do the same:

Dutch sysop
I know a fairly good user from the Urban Dead wiki whos first language is Dutch, and is fluent in English. He may be interested in being a moderator on the Dutch Minepedia. I'll get him in touch with you guys?  A NNOYING  04:31, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm fully aware you might not want a user recommended by me, but he's a bro, don't worry.  A NNOYING  04:33, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I have no problem taking your recommendations into consideration. I know we got off to a rocky start, but I'd like to see that change. I would just like to see more positive than negative attitude. We are seriously trying to make this a better wiki in the best way we know how. I do hope that anyone who is acting as an administrator (on any of the Minecraft wiki sites) will also be an active contributor. -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  05:05, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Alright. I'll have to see if he plays minecraft else I doubt he'll be able to do much around the place. As for rocky starts, I'm quickly finding reasons not to worry so much about the issues at hand. Not forced preview (whilst it would be nice for everyone to not have to deal with it) is a dream, and I recently found out Kizzi's ark of Herobrine is the top rated search for the respective term on Google, which is about as useful as it could ever get, so forcing it into the mainspace is no longer so important to anyone I imagine, lest me.

Admin for Dutch Wiki
Hi,

I would like to be an admin for the dutch wiki. I see that it still needs a lot of work in translating the stuff that normal users cannot edit. I am registered on the wiki. I am a web developer so I could easily help with all the CSS and stuff. MC Forum: gdscei Here: gdscei
 * Thank you for your interest. You are correct that the Dutch wiki is in need of a lot of work. I will be taking all of the requests under consideration. In the meantime, any contributions you can make to bettering the Dutch wiki are welcome. I am not going to make this decision lightly, as I do want active committed editors and administrators on all of the Minecraft wiki sites. Thanks for your interest. -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  09:09, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Can I somehow add the crafting background image for the crafting section of a block or does an admin need to look at this? -- gdscei talk  09:44, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I believe that was all set up by Ultradude25. Everything should be able to be copied over from the English wiki, however it will all need to be translated. You may want to ask him how it's all set up. -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  09:48, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm kinda figuring it out by myself, I only need to get the images over to the Dutch wiki now. -- gdscei talk  09:58, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

Russian Minecraft Wiki
Hello, i would like to help with Russian section of Minecraft Wiki. I am an experienced editor of MediaWiki engine (helped a lot on Official Team Fortress 2 Wiki), and also an administrator of SteamWorld.ru server. I hope you will answer me soon. DrAkcel  (T 11:23, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Please feel free to register and contribute to the Russian Minecraft wiki. All active editors have the potential to be promoted. At this time, we are looking for active admins specifically on the Dutch wiki, but all editors and contributors are welcome in every language. -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  11:28, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

I have added the Chinese Section
The Chinese Section has been added my me: edenapple

Feel free to be part of the project. Egg is currently translated by me but I cannot change: Type, heals for, cookable and data value because it doesn't work when I change it.

Dutch Minecraft wiki application
Hello, I would like to be an Admin of the Dutch Minecraft wiki.

Username: Stevinator

The Languages I speak: Dutch, English (both good), a little French and German (not very good), Latin and ancient-Greek (True!).

My experience with wiki's: I've been Admin on some Wiki's, I have also been a Bureacrat on some, and a normal user on others.

Relation with Minecraft: OMGWTFAWESOME24/7UBERADDICTION nothing much else to say about that...

What am I able to help out with: deleting spam, correcting grammar (You would be surprised to know how little Dutch people can actually speak Dutch without much gramatical errors.), adding pictures (Not scared of a creeper or lava), helping the community, adding information, and that sort of stuff.

How long have I played Minecraft: I play Minecraft since the Alpha.

Why this application is so long: [quote] If it's worth doing, it's worth OVERdoing

Greetings, Stevinator 12:04, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

EDIT: Enter seems not to be working properly


 * Everything you want to help with is already possible without being an admin, lol. Things like deleting pages, protecting pages and such are admin tasks. gdscei 12:18, 8 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Please feel free to register and contribute to the Dutch wiki in every way you have mentioned (except the deleting) I am looking for active contributors to promote to administrators. -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  14:06, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

Hello my name is Vlad and I am a 17 year old Russian male willing to gladly help with the Russian Minecraft wiki. I am very fluent in Russian I am also able to read and write it. As I spend a lot of Time viewing the wiki might as well help the grea community of Minecraft and Minecraft forums.

Up for admin
Hi,

I read that the Dutch section needed some help, and after checking it out I couldn't agree more. Some important pages are full of mistakes. If you don't find enough capable people, I can give it a try. Dutch is my native language so that shouldn't be a problem. The downside is: I have zero experience in wiki editing, that is why I rather edit some stuff first. To contact me, pm in minecraftforums at equz.

Have a great day. Noah

PS: in the meantime, i recommend some changes, cause the dutch section seems to be written by a (no offence intended) 12-year old. As i said, i don't really have any experience so I'm not sure how it works but the block translations, who I think a non-admin can't change (because they are linked, or used within codes), are a bit off. For exemple: suiker rieten should be suikerriet, dinamiet -> dynamiet, champions -> champignons, toon blok -> nootblok, ... I'll try to edit it, but I'm not sure I can.

Admin
Hi Wynthyst,

I'd want to be an admin and help the Dutch Minecraft Forum grow. My native language is Dutch and my English is fluent. I also teach some English people Dutch for free and fun. My username on both the Dutch and the English forum is Marinnos. I'm new at the forum but I have experience with other forums.

Just pm me

Minepedia Admin
Hi Wynthyst,

I would like to help you with the Dutch translation on the Minepedia site. I'm Dutch myself and I study English at a higher vocational education. I also know a little bit of French and German. I don't have any experience yet but it has to start somewhere doesn't it ^.^. I play Minecraft everyday and I can't stop because it's awesome! Email: email removed MCforum: smeuye112 here: smeuye112

Admin Dutch section
I read the post on the forum and i think i can help, i am dutch and i can speak english pretty good. my e-mail is email removed

Fluent English Admin
I can speak English, my main language, very fluently, and would be glad to help out as an admin. I do know some French, my secondary language, but not too much. I do not have any experience as an admin for a Wiki, but I'm hoping to get some here. I tend to be up to date on what's new in Minecraft, and I'm ready to add to the Wiki when new content is released, or if I find any new information. If you need to contact me, send me a PM on the Minecraft Forums; my username is "King_Pikmin".

Norwegian Translator
Hey, I could help with the Norwegian Wiki, I haven't been admin before but I learn fast. I'm good at English too so I could translate fast. Pm me on minecraft forum's. I'm also been close to Bobby Yarsulik, just saying.

 * Please sign your posts with 4 ~s. You don't need to be an admin to contribute to the Norwegian wiki. MoonBeans 20:12, 13 March 2011 (UTC)

Dutch translator with experience.
Hello Wynthyst,

I saw your topic on the mc forums. I'm not really sure if you can use me. But I've been translating a lot of English to Dutch. I've been a subber for a fan sub-group for anime's for more than a year now. So if you would choose me, you would get speedy translations.

I've always been working with a someone that checks my translations. That went pretty well.

Like I said, I work with time frames. We agree that the article is translated at 12 pm, then it will be translated at 12 pm. You will always be sure that I've done my work.

I'm very excited about this. I hope you'll see something in me :)

Kind Regards,

Jordy also known as Hero

--Hero88 14:45, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Hi Hero :D You know, anyone can work on the translation. And your help would be greatly appreciated. I'm looking for administrators who will be active contributors as well. Please register your account on the Dutch wiki and have at it. The mainpage in particular still needs major translation, as well as dealing with all the red links. There are a few other active contributors there... work with them and let's see if we can't make it a better wiki for the Dutch community. I will be making a decision on the administrator positions in a couple of weeks once I see how things are progressing. Thanks for your interest! -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  15:58, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

RE: Administrator requests above
You do realize that you must sign your posts using, right? --Gnu32 14:30, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Most are newly registered ... and don't get it... yet... but I'm hoping :D -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  14:30, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
 * It would kind of suck to give administrator powers to people who don't know how to use basic wiki features :U Just sayin' --Gnu32 15:37, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Hey, out of a pool of, say, 10 admin applicants you get 4-5 regular editors, that's a big plus as well. --JonTheMon 15:59, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Oh, come on, Gnu. 'We' let both Regan and Brezhnev have the keys to the world's largest nuclear arsenals and nothing went *BOOM*.  Well, not much. ...not that regularly, and generally with a lack of fallout!  If you don't count the countless nuclear tests by the Americans and Russians...and French...and Brits.  Err, on second thought, can we impose mandatory brainscans for potential wikiadmin?  Maybe genetic testing and aptitude tests too, just to be sure. :D -Wulfenbach (not on fire for once) 05:28, 9 March 2011 (UTC)

Please add the Chinese section to the projects
Hello Wynthyst,

Can you link the Chinese section I made to the projects and make me an admin of it?

Thanks, Edenapple
 * You can add the link to the projects page yourself, and no user can be an "admin" of a project. As the creator of it, you are automatically the project leader. -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  01:25, 9 March 2011 (UTC)

Apply to the admin possition.
Why hello there, let me introduce myself. My name is Thescorpi0n (Real name is Tim), and my first language is dutch. I'm 16 years old, and I think I can translate English texts pretty well, and therefor I'm applying for the admin possition. I would love to help people out with helping them getting knowledge from the minecraftwiki. Even though I don't have much experience with wiki's other than just using it, I would love to give this a shot, because something gotta be the first one aye'. I see that there aren't really much pages and info on the dutch minecraftwiki yet, so I would love to add and translate some I own minecraft since the alpha version, and have pretty much experience with it. Well, I guess I'll hear from you then.

--Thescorpi0n 18:59, 9 March 2011 (UTC)


 * You seem to be under the impression that you have to be an admin to help with the translation. You do not. If you wish to contribute to the Dutch wiki, simply register an account and go to it. I am looking for active editors to promote to admin to assist with the general maintenance of the site. But you have to be a contributor before you become an admin. -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  20:02, 9 March 2011 (UTC)

Dutch sysop (2)
Hello, I would like to apply for the role of sysop on the Dutch Minepedia. I am very experienced with wiki software (I am running my own at the moment). I know when to block and not to block, I know how to handle the rollback tool, the delete tool, and the other tools. I can speak Dutch fluently as it is my native language and I can contribute with a near-native level of English. Although you might think I am not active, which is true, but I am becoming more active and I would love to become administrator. I can confirm that I am very experienced with wiki's (confirmation done on my Dutch Wikipedia talk page) and I hope I get elected. Kind regards, TBloemink 14:54, 22 March 2011 (UTC)

Dutch administrator
I'd like to become an administrator of the Dutch wiki. I already tried to update the main page and templates that require some css, but that doesn't really work if you constantly have to ask an admin to implement your changes.--STS 14:39, 27 March 2011 (UTC)

Dutch Administration
I'd like to help make the Dutch Minecraft Wiki a better place. I've just recently started adding articles, but I'm eager to add more.

If it is of great importance: I haven't had much experience with Wiki's, but i've had some experience with administrating several forums and game servers.

If it helps: I've started out creating a standard layout for items on the dutch wiki. This should making more articles easier. I'm also busy adding translations.

--Kettling 15:54, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep up the good work. I'm not making any quick decisions about this as I feel it's important. -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  17:42, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

Appliance for the French wiki
Hi! I'm a contributor for the french wiki, and I'm writing here to apply for an admin role. I already made 250+ contributions, and feel like I'd be more useful with some more rights and responsibilities! Before this wiki, I used to write some music articles for Wikipedia, and a few things for the french Wikiversity. For a few years, I also wrote news for a french website about video games =) --Jimeowan 21:04, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
