Observer block
On the 'Pocket edition alpha 0.15.0' page, people keep going on about observer blocks, although I'm pretty sure it won't be in 0.15.0.Someone even put a texture which is most likely fake. –Preceding unsigned comment was added by Robinhoodn64 (talk • contribs) at 6:00, 10 May 2016 (UTC).

Interwiki table request
Since Gamepedia PRO was introduced, Wikis are now able to use HTTPS instead of HTTP. But there's one issue: When clicking on an interwiki, it gives you the plain old HTTP-connection instead of the user-related HTTPS. My question: Can someone please remove in the interwiki table the http:-prefix for the other Minecraft Wiki-Wikis? (I've done it already for the Dutch Wiki) -- DarkShadowTNT  NL Admin ( t  ♦  c ) 14:28, 14 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Related suggestion: Wikipedia also uses HTTPS, so the corresponding interwiki can be changed accordingly. — NickTheRed37 (issues’ wall) 14:57, 14 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Yep, there still are some resources (especially in CSS files) which are loaded using http links. For example, File:Background.png is loaded using an http link in MediaWiki:Common.css. | violine1101(Talk) 17:46, 14 May 2016 (UTC)
 * There are some unsafe connections left which can only be changed by Curse. Apart from these, the German Minecraft wiki is mostly HTTPS now by changing  to   in both MediaWiki:Common.css as well as MediaWiki:Hydra.css and Widget:FileUrl. | violine1101(Talk) 18:13, 14 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Ummm... Violine1101@undefined Not all the user are a PRO. Only users who are a PRO user can use an HTTPS connection. Users who aren't PRO still use HTTP. The best option is to let the browser decide by using, as example,  instead of   and/or  . --  DarkShadowTNT  NL Admin ( t  ♦  c ) 19:00, 14 May 2016 (UTC)

I just realized I put that into the false topic, but hey, it's about PRO too. | violine1101(Talk) 20:28, 14 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Also non-PRO users can use the media server with HTTPS, so this should not be a problem at all.


 * Done; language interwikis now use protocol-relative URLs. Looking at the interwiki table, I'm wondering if a lot of them could be removed, as they don't seem to have any relevance or use here. -- Orthotopetalk 19:32, 14 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Fix ftb: and gphelp:, please ^_^ A lot of the URLs are just there per default, so some of them are kind of useless. They aren't really taking any space though. -Xbony2 (talk) 12:50, 26 June 2016 (UTC)

It seems ID table just does a simple transformation on the item names, so it gives  for "Wood Planks" and   for "Magma Block", for example, but those are not the correct names, they are   and , respectively.

Don't need to say anything; just look at the username.. Block that user for indef --MarioProtIV (talk) 18:57, 27 June 2016 (UTC)


 * As it was previously said, by putting a request to block a user with unacceptable (e. g. offensive) username here, it is made more visible, which is not good. There is another user with a similar unacceptable name (with a repeated vowel), but I don’t want to fully tell it because of that reason (administrators can just look up the user registration log anyway). An IRC-or-otherwise channel for non-public administrative issues would be great for this, but either way anyone can contact an administrator by e-mail.
 * That particular user is already blocked by Orthotope. Why do administrators not reply to topics about issues which were resolved? This makes it look at first glance like these issues aren’t still solved. — <b style="font-variant: small-caps; letter-spacing: 1px">NickTheRed37</b> (issues’ wall)</i> 13:07, 28 June 2016 (UTC)

Czech wiki
I think it's time a proper Czech language wiki is set up, at [//minecraft-cs.gamepedia.com minecraft-cs.gamepedia.com] (maybe with minecraft-cz.gamepedia.com as a redirect- the correct code is actually cs, but many people use cz because that's the code [ISO 3166 and Internet TLD] used to refer to the Czech Republic). There's a very sufficient amount of pages- 427 of them, and that will only grow with time and newfound visibility. One user,, has been active translating pages for about a month, and has been around doing translation for much longer, so I think they would make a fine administrator for the project. There's one major issue, though- the main page isn't translated. I'd like to request Rechris to translate it, if he/she/they doesn't mind :) -Xbony2 (talk) 21:38, 1 August 2016 (UTC)

 * On the new wiki, you'll want to want to have Czech titles. And you'll want to move the currently existing articles, like Compass/cz -> Kompas. I (and maybe others) will probably try to help you with this.

Wiki advertisements causing page load issues
Hello Admins. There's a pretty glaring issue with browsing this wiki for me, whether I'm logged in or not. In the background, things are being loaded practically all the time. After a while of having a page loaded, it becomes almost impossible to navigate the page because of framerate issues, caused by these things loading in the background. Things never cease to be loaded it seems, even after 5 minutes of being on the page. I'm running Chrome on Windows 10 on a gaming PC with respectable specs from 2013, and my internet is a fairly standard 1.5 MB/sec connection. I've tested this with AdBlock on, and it seems to be fine, however I don't like using it.

Here are some screenshots of Chrome's Network tab from the Inspector.
 * On Community Portal: https://i.gyazo.com/414e1239462f4b44ad9c46a90fd677d9.png
 * On Biomes: https://i.gyazo.com/162d9c3a8bfdeca89f7008bc6e563991.png

This is probably beyond your abilities, in which case please escalate it to Curse or whoever because it's quite annoying and makes browsing almost impossible. If this is just an issue on my end, sorry! Any advice would be helpful.

Cheers

Can't create page
Hello, I tried to create a page about light gray dye/light gray wool, but after I spent an entire hour making sure I had correct information, a message popped up when I tried to post it that said, and I quote, " An automated filter has detected that you are attempting to create a possibly unwanted page." I believe this is not correct, because on the page about wool, it doesn't show anything about dye or go into detail about any certain wool color. Please change this, because I believe my edit to be constructive and laborious. Yes, I know that filters cannot be changed for specific people, but can an admin please create this page, if it is not to much to ask for. Tartigrade (talk) 18:41, 2 October 2016 (UTC)

Perhaps another range block is needed.
IPs that have been blocked before are in bold. There may be more than the ones shown here.



These IPs appear to have been vandalising, edit-warring, and making tons of unexplained or unneeded edits for the past three months (maybe longer, not sure).

As for evading blocks: multiple IPs has have been used for block-evading, but they appear to only do around one edit for every block that has been given on the others. -BDJP (t 20:12, 5 October 2016 (UTC)


 * Unfortunately, those aren't the actual IP addresses. They seem to all be cloudflare addresses, so I'm assuming it's because Gamepedia uses cloudflare that those IPs come up.

Broken File Upload
It seems like the file upload has been broken for a couple of days already (throughout multiple browsers). The following error appears whenever a picture (in this case a png) is uploaded (it does not seem like entering different values changes the outcome).

As far as I can tell from the MediaWiki code (as far as that still applies to this specific fork) this is related to some kind of upload error occurring somewhere along the line. So I'm not entirely sure as to whether the issue could be caused by the file itself (A copy of the image can be found on imgur).

Back in June, Wyatt2050 was warned on his talk page by to not add speculation/false information because of what he was doing to the 0.15.0 page, and said if he did it again there would be consequences including a temporary block, and was blocked for it, as well as abusing multiple accounts.

Today, he removed the warning and discussion about it. After doing that he proceeded to add speculation/false information to the page Pocket Edition Alpha 0.17.0 and attempted to revert war before giving up. Obviously some form of action needs to be taken here, as he as removed a warning and gone against what he was warned not to do. EDIT: I got something a bit wrong, so I edited it, my bad.

Edit not allowed on Painting
I was trying to edit the Painting article since I spotted a statement intended to be fact that was inaccurate. Here is the original:

A painting of the main character of the classic Atari game International Karate (the Karateka character had white hair, this one clearly has black hair) fighting a large hand. It could also be interpreted as the two hands touching as seen in Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel painting. This is also in Super Smash Bros (SSB for short) A fighter fighting the Master Hand.

The concern here is "This is also in Super Smash Bros (SSB for short) A fighter fighting the Master Hand" which is a similarity, but has no evidence supporting it. I tried to Remove it, but was not allowed to. Here is the message I recieved when I tried to save the page:

Your action has been automatically identified as harmful, and therefore disallowed. A brief description of the matched abuse rule for your action is: Global AF - New user adding link at end or in heading If you believe your edit was constructive, please post a message on the admin noticeboard or notify an admin directly

If you believe that my change was not constructive I would be happy to accept that, but I believe the automated system is mistaken.

As I was here I also changed a small part about the Skull on Fire painting, but I removed this and tried again so I don't think it matters. If the summary is able to change the result, here is the summary I wrote:

Removed statement that the Pointer painting is related to Super Smash Bros. Added information about the Skull in painting Skull on Fire being set in Minecraft

Trying to add Console Edition info
I was trying to add some new information to the End City page, due to the upcoming Console Edition update. More specifically, I was trying to update the History section of the page, and found that I could not add a section labelled "Upcoming Console Edition" using the wikitext. I was reproducing the format used by the Upcoming Pocket Edition section, but it seems to not function with Upcoming Console Edition.

Where it says "console upcoming", it shows red text, as if it's the wrong format. The words "Added end cities" appears where the version should be, and nothing appears where the text "Added end cities" should be.

The zombie is in there instead of the sword --72.50.82.107 00:01, 9 December 2016 (UTC)


 * Can someone just block him???--72.50.82.107 00:37, 9 December 2016 (UTC)


 * Seriously? This is insane. I apologize for not browsing user pages in the intent of finding non-copyrighted material in order to complain on the admin noticeboard that I dislike this or that user and want him blocked... why, I don't know. Wait a minute, aren't you a random IP? What kind of user rights or privileges do you have to ask the admins to block me? Nevertheless, on what basis are you asking for a block? A silly piece of userbox content that you complain you cannot have; simply because you're too reluctant to make an account and quit badgering everyone! Perhaps, though, it's a portion of user page content that you believe violates a rule that is non-existent. I am amazed, and I do apologize to for not noticing that out of 274+ other people, his user page happened to look all-too-much-the-same compared to mine. Maethoredhel (t • c) 01:01, 9 December 2016 (UTC)


 * Going further, I suspect that your comments, including the section below, may be enough to warrant me to ping . I'm rather speechless as to how you went from asking me about userboxes, to going to the noticeboard in the mindset of having me blocked. Maethoredhel (t • c) 01:06, 9 December 2016 (UTC)


 * Other than containing userboxes, I see no substantial similarity between their user pages. Reporting users here without cause is a form of harassment, prohibited by rule #3, and will lead to a block if it continues. -- Orthotopetalk 01:23, 9 December 2016 (UTC)

 * Having userboxes isn't an issue; many people have them on their user pages. Even if there was substantial similarity, the CC license on the wiki allows reuse and modification of anyone's contributions. -- Orthotopetalk 06:15, 9 December 2016 (UTC)

 * Random IP wanted me blocked because our pages both have user boxes (removed my user boxes to prevent any future repeats of this silly ordeal). Plus, I think it's a good idea to have 's opinion on this. It's weird enough my name is on the noticeboard. Random is wrong, and was warned for harassment by Orthotope; everyone else is right in joking about it. It's rather silly to report a user who's been constructive and helpful to the Wiki.

Can't edit my user profile or comment
Hi, I can't edit my user profile for some reason. I am allowed to edit other pages, but when I edit my user profile my profile still says my username profile is blank and click to edit. I am on a mobile device. It says at the bottom that my edit was a success. I can't comment either. It says I don't have permission and to make sure I have validated my email address. When I click on the link it says my email address has been validated. I have been recieveing emails as normal about the pages I am watching. Cherryblossom000 (talk) 06:46, 10 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Try it on desktop for one thing, although I don't think it will change anything. It might because you have a small amount of edits. You could just make your regular user page your main user page in the preferences though (which I personally prefer/recommend, I think of the user profile as a global default meant to be overwritten on each wiki). -Xbony2 (talk) 13:15, 10 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Actually, you are correct. Adding comments does not work on the mobile version.
 * Cherryblossom000@undefined Do try using the desktop; editing a profile is not like editing a normal page. The BlobsPaper.png 14:44, 10 December 2016 (UTC)

 * There's certainly no rules outlawing IPs having talk pages; there's hundreds of IP talk pages on this wiki alone (mostly just warnings and rubbish, but still). Anonymous accounts having user pages is however unconventional; ultimately if you really want to establish yourself here you should make an account, although I don't see it as a major crime myself if you can't. -Xbony2 (talk) 20:46, 26 December 2016 (UTC)

Cannot correct the sounds.json page
I found there are some mistakes in the sounds.json page.

Shulker box sounds used the block folder not entity folder, and stray sounds used the mob/stray folder not mob/husk folder. Please look at Line 204 and Line 822.

After I edited and clicked save, a warning appeared: '''An automated filter has detected an unwanted word 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.

Did I type any sensitive words? YutaYamamoto212 (talk) 05:08, 30 December 2016 (UTC)

Anonymous users and registered users alike cannot block other users without being in the Administrator group. There are several other groups that allow user blocks, but generally "administrator" is the most common.

General discussion regarding Cymonah2
Hallo! I wanted to bring this page to attention as it seems to hold some importance in regards to a user we harbor. I am not by any means seeking to offend, harass, or otherwise bring down, but this Wikipedia page seems to hold a great deal of importance. For reference: wp:Sockpuppet investigations/Cymonah2. It would seem that this is the same user, as the somewhat unintelligible English within their edits match that of which can be found on Wikipedia under the same name. Additionally, the case was closed only two days ago, meaning that this is all fairly recent. I have a suspicion regarding a previous user that was here on the wiki about a year ago, by the name of CreeperFan2016. The reason for this being that Cymonah2, in the History section of their userpage, states "CreeperFan2016 Now Buy The Full Game". I wish to publicly ask if the Wikipedia case is indeed them, and if they have ever had any previous affiliation with the Minecraft Wiki under any username. Regards, — Maethoredhel ( Talk • Contribs • Logs ) 15:42, 14 January 2017 (UTC)


 * Pardon the expression, but I generally feel that this editor is following a pattern of wp:Disruptive editing. I commented on his talk page with a welcome, and he afterwards blanked the page and added other things back in. Additionally, this editor has made several other unnoticed modifications to other users' talk pages, which can be verified by checking Special:Contributions/Cymonah2. — Maethoredhel ( Talk • Contribs • Logs ) 16:03, 14 January 2017 (UTC)


 * The user also uploaded three images without using them. I have marked two of them for deletion, and I should probably do the same for the third. I have put a message on their talk page, so we should wait for a response before blocking them. The BlobsPaper.png 16:13, 14 January 2017 (UTC)


 * Further evidence against him: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Cymonah2&diff=prev&oldid=750022011. There is clearly a pattern, checking this diff here on the Minecraft Wiki. — Maethoredhel ( Talk • Contribs • Logs ) 16:16, 14 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Actually, checking the upload log, they uploaded a lot of images without using the images. The BlobsPaper.png 16:48, 14 January 2017 (UTC)


 * Might as well, they've been blocked multiple times and just continue to make useless, nonsensical edits (even when they're blocked, thanks to user profiles...). –Majr ᐸ <small style=display:inline-block;line-height:9px;vertical-align:-3px>Talk Contribs 10:59, 16 January 2017 (UTC)
