due Oracle have dropped support Java 9 and 10,it's needed to update that link,I suggest to change it to https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/archive-139210.html which can made you could find all the java version you want to use,including 9 and 10.I don't know about this and don't know how to reverse that link back to I have to remove that link temporary for further editing. --103.122.22.194 00:23, 12 Feb 2019 (UTC)

Reduce overprotection
Can archived versions of the admin noticeboard as well as Minecraft Wiki talk:Community portal have the admin protection lowered to autoconfirmed protection where applicable? It is otherwise impossible to perform maintenance tasks without admin intervention. - User-12316399 (talk) 22:13, 20 February 2019 (UTC)


 * I would support this. I don't see a good reason for protection and non-admins can not perform maintenance tasks on the archives. If no one objects in one or two days, I think I'll go ahead and unprotect all the archives of the community portal and the admin noticeboard. I would be curious to see what other people think of this.--Madminecrafter12 (Talk to me 22:20, 20 February 2019 (UTC)


 * I also this.  Perhaps it would make sense to have an edit notice saying that it's an archived discussion similar to when editing someone else's userpage, but that might be excessive (archive already exists and people editing old archives doesn't seem to have been an issue).  --Pokechu22 (talk) 22:24, 20 February 2019 (UTC)


 * archive actually appears in the edit notice when in edit mode for all archive pages already, so I think what you're suggesting has already been done.--Madminecrafter12 (Talk to me 01:13, 21 February 2019 (UTC)


 * It doesn't seem to do so for me, at least when testing with Minecraft Wiki:Admin noticeboard/Archive 30. Actually, looks like it does work on mainspace archive pages (e.g. Talk:Block/Archive 1), so I guess the issue is specific to only pages outside of the mainspace... which is probably an easy thing to fix but currently is broken. --Pokechu22 (talk) 01:21, 21 February 2019 (UTC)


 * Ah, I know what it is. The admin noticeboard is not considered a talk page by the software, and MediaWiki:Talkpagetext (which is what makes archive show up as an edit notice) only applies to talk pages. I was testing this function on the community portal talk archive pages, so it worked there. Let me try something.--Madminecrafter12 (Talk to me 01:33, 21 February 2019 (UTC)


 * Should work now.--Madminecrafter12 (Talk to me 01:38, 21 February 2019 (UTC)


 * Yep, can confirm it works. And it makes sense that the admin noticeboard isn't a talk page (since it's in the Minecraft Wiki namespace, not Minecraft Wiki talk); I just assumed it didn't work for any mainspace/main-talk-space pages but didn't think about how that might actually differ. --Pokechu22 (talk) 02:20, 21 February 2019 (UTC)


 * lowering the protection on talk page archives to semiprotection. The origin of admin protection is probably that some people are categorically opposed to maintenance edits of user pages and archives. "They're called archives for a reason" is what I'd expect to hear from them... and should I say the "reason" they refer to may actually make maintenance edits encouraged? --AttemptToCallNil (report bug, view backtrace) 22:37, 20 February 2019 (UTC)


 * Do you any particular reason why you don't think they should be outright unprotected? I have no issue with simply lowering the protection to semi instead of completely removing it, and I'm not trying to badger you, but I'm just trying to figure out what protection level I should lower the archives to soon.--Madminecrafter12 (Talk to me 02:41, 21 February 2019 (UTC)


 * I actually would prefer having them unprotected after your post. I just didn't think anyone even considered total removal of protection an acceptable option. --AttemptToCallNil (report bug, view backtrace) 08:37, 21 February 2019 (UTC)


 * lowering protection to allow maintenance edits; as long as no one's violating normal talk page guidelines or adding actual responses it should be fine. – Sonicwave talk  08:43, 21 February 2019 (UTC)


 * . Constant maintenance of archive pages is not practical or desirable. Imagine having to consider every archived talk page before you're able to move or delete a page, just so a report is less cluttered? Absolute madness. No, maintenance is the complete wrong approach, and archives should ideally be static snapshots of the conversations as they were originally anyway. As such I propose we instead simply eliminate the maintenance issue entirely by making them more like a static page. This can be accomplished by converting links to static external links (thereby removing them from any reports that I know of), and removing any external embedded content (either by substituting it into the page where possible, or creating a static link).
 * If we were to do this, archives would remain as close to how they originally were at the time of archiving (especially beneficial when it comes to templates, as they will stay at the state they were at the time), the archives maintain their usefulness as opposed to removing the links, and there is no ongoing maintenance required. Any new archives would be converted once when they created, and ideally never need to be touched again. I would then recommend removing protection from all archive pages, and instead replace it with an abuse filter, as it will allow for easily reenabling edits to archives should some unseen maintenance issue come up in the future. –Majr ᐸ Talk Contribs 09:05, 21 February 2019 (UTC)


 * Does that conversion process mean all templates are substituted until the page uses no templates, and all internal links are replaced with external links until there are no internal links? Unless there is some way to automate this highly nontrivial process (a complicated wikitext template with multiple layers would be problematic to fully substitute), this might even be more time-consuming than maintenance.
 * I assume this alternative proposal has all file links retained, including files in signatures? --AttemptToCallNil (report bug, view backtrace) 09:48, 21 February 2019 (UTC)


 * It would obviously just be a bot/script that converts the page upon archiving. Expanding all templates should be trivial using the API, however having them expand properly depends if they have subst support (mainly an issue for modules I think, normal templates should work although they might contain unnecessary parser functions), which we'd need to look in to, and it doesn't have to happen straight away if we don't care about Special:WantedTemplates and I don't reckon there's that many templates on talk pages anyway. Converting links is the most important and is also trivial. If we're willing to sacrifice Special:WantedFiles we can keep file embeds, otherwise I'd want to convert them to links (embedded images in talk pages are a nuisance anyway). –Majr ᐸ Talk Contribs 10:34, 21 February 2019 (UTC)


 * Here’s an idea, just throwing it out there: Why not the whole archives? FVbico (talk) 10:03, 21 February 2019 (UTC)


 * Significantly reduces usability. –Majr ᐸ Talk Contribs 10:34, 21 February 2019 (UTC)


 * Another thought: how about blanking the pages entirely, but leaving a template on the page that links to the latest revision before the page was archived? - User-12316399 (talk) 09:08, 25 March 2019 (UTC)


 * That would reduce accessibility and it would be quite annoying to have to do as well. Also, often archives aren't necessarily done in large chunks on one page but individual discussions gradually pile into a single archive. It just doesn't seem worth it. I think we should just go with Majr's suggestion.--Madminecrafter12 (Talk to me 17:59, 25 March 2019 (UTC)


 * Blanking would be a lot quicker and easier to do, though, given how many pages we're talking about. It'd also mean that people wouldn't be able to scroll past and ignore the box at the top, which could be an issue on Issues/notice, and then end up thinking that the bug reporting pages are still the currently used method - they'd have to confirm that they indeed want to go to an archived version. There'd also be no need to replace internal links or leave dead image links (the latter of which are also somewhat of a maintenance issue). The only issue I see is that some integral templates may end up being seen as unused and then end up deleted, hampering the pages.


 * Whichever method we use, though, shouldn't matter too much; I'd just rather get something that works done sooner rather than later. - User-12316399 (talk) 09:11, 15 April 2019 (UTC)


 * Anyone else willing to weigh in on this proposal? - User-12316399 (talk) 12:46, 26 April 2019 (UTC)

Issues pages
Can Issues/ subpages (as well as Known bugs/, which redirect to these) be unprotected for the same reason? These ones are long-time offenders. - User-12316399 (talk) 22:27, 20 February 2019 (UTC)


 * for the same reasons. While one can express the concern that people may still try to post issues there, it's unlikely given those pages are not prominently linked to. --AttemptToCallNil (report bug, view backtrace) 22:37, 20 February 2019 (UTC)


 * based on ATCN's reasoning. – Sonicwave talk  08:43, 21 February 2019 (UTC)


 * I reckon we treat them as archive pages, and do the same as I suggested above. –Majr ᐸ Talk Contribs 09:05, 21 February 2019 (UTC)


 * They should be move to Minecraft Wiki:Projects /Issues Archive, per Majr, since these pages are not suitable in the Main namespace, since technically, the content of these pages are not encyclopedic, and Issues (not Issues/) should redirect to Bug tracker. — HaydenBobMutthew ( talk, contribs ) 09:26, 21 February 2019 (UTC)


 * Another thing I was thinking of would be to export the issues archives to another wiki which deals with the technical side of the game, such as wiki.vg or the EigenCraft wiki, removing them from this wiki. Having these pages be on an unofficial wiki may be less confusing for players using the official wiki to figure out how to report bugs. I'm not as much of a fan of this idea, anymore.


 * Moving the pages to a non-main namespace would also have the added benefit of stopping them from appearing on the Content pages list, which is an added bonus (although there's definitely worse problems plaguing that list right now - I'm tempted to propose either we also move translation pages to their own namespace as well, or nuke every single translation project except for the Icelandic project from orbit due to the almost zero project-related attention they've recieved in the past two years). - User-12316399 (talk) 11:29, 21 February 2019 (UTC)


 * Any idea as to when this moving will actually happen? - User-12316399 (talk) 08:59, 25 March 2019 (UTC)


 * I suppose we can consider this more or less resolved, as the solution seems to have been substituting offending links with a template. - User-12316399 (talk) 14:40, 2 June 2019 (UTC)

How about the Known bugs/ pages that redirect to Issues/? - User-12316399 (talk) 13:51, 12 March 2019 (UTC)

Video pages
Yet another case is that of /video subpages, which are also unnecessarily high protected. I'd request the protection be toned down for all of these, so we don't need to unnecessarily create talk pages to mark the main pages for deletion and such. - User-12316399 (talk) 22:33, 20 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Just get rid of /video subpages and substitute them on the content page(s). This has been discussed before several times, and such an action should not violate any policy. --AttemptToCallNil (report bug, view backtrace) 22:37, 20 February 2019 (UTC)


 * –Majr ᐸ Talk Contribs 09:05, 21 February 2019 (UTC)


 * The video pages should all be subst now, and so can start removing crap videos at your leisure. Didn't do the update video pages yet, nor have I deleted the subpages yet. –Majr ᐸ Talk Contribs 10:24, 21 February 2019 (UTC)


 * The abuse filter preventing edits to video subpages was already removed, but almost all of the pages are still protected. I think it was discussed that a bot should simultaneously substitute the /video subpage content onto the main article and unprotect/delete the subpage, but it would have to be a bot with admin powers. – Sonicwave talk  08:43, 21 February 2019 (UTC)
 * This task is now working using MajrBot. This section should be settled. — HaydenBobMutthew ( talk, contribs ) 09:35, 21 February 2019 (UTC)


 * Should I go ahead and delete all of the /video pages that have already been substituted on their root page by MajrBot?--Madminecrafter12 (Talk to me 14:58, 21 February 2019 (UTC)


 * I'd say yes, but don't forget to remove the protection from such pages in the process. - User-12316399 (talk) 15:28, 21 February 2019 (UTC)


 * Why would I need to remove the protection of the /video pages if I'm deleting them?--Madminecrafter12 (Talk to me 15:28, 21 February 2019 (UTC)


 * There's no benefit that I can see in keeping said pages locked from editing or creation. It's an unnecessary restriction. - User-12316399 (talk) 16:27, 21 February 2019 (UTC)


 * I'm pretty sure that if you delete a page that is fully-protected from editing, anyone can still create it, as creation protection and edit protection are different things. See if you can create User:Madminecrafter12/sandbox 4. This would make unprotection a waste of time as opposed to just deleting.--Madminecrafter12 (Talk to me 16:32, 21 February 2019 (UTC)


 * I didn't delete them straight away as I didn't verify the result of all the subst (AWB doesn't show it), so they're still there in case something got lost. –Majr ᐸ Talk Contribs 00:49, 22 February 2019 (UTC)


 * I would be fine with checking each individual one to make sure the subst worked ok. Video pages are very short, so it should take a few seconds to check each one.--Madminecrafter12 (Talk to me 15:32, 23 February 2019 (UTC)


 * Madminecrafter12@undefined Have you done this? –Majr ᐸ Talk Contribs 07:40, 1 March 2019 (UTC)


 * Not yet; I wanted to make sure you didn't have any objections before doing that, just in case you wanted to keep them for a little longer or something. Will start deleting now.--Madminecrafter12 (Talk to me 14:28, 1 March 2019 (UTC)


 * While not exactly protected to the standards of /video, can /Update Video pages also be transcluded? - User-12316399 (talk) 14:37, 1 March 2019 (UTC)

Mods pages protected by Goandgoo
The pages Mods/New content, Mods/Outdated, Mods/APIs, Mods/Aesthetic, Mods/Mod packs and Mods/Fixes seem to have all been protected to the admin-only level by Goandgoo in April 2014. Absolutely no explanation has been given for these protections, and the information on them has been slowly left to rot. Why was this level of protection put in place in the first place, and can it be removed (especially in light of the transferring of Mods pages to the other wiki)? - User-12316399 (talk) 13:51, 12 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Unprotected all of those pages. --AttemptToCallNil (report bug, view backtrace) 16:22, 12 March 2019 (UTC)


 * As I recall, that action came from a discussion about archiving those pages, reason was given by adding the template mods/read the instructions to the page. Essentially, since we no longer maintain a list of mods it seemed counter-intuitive to allow people to continue to add mods to that list. Same case as the old texture pack articles before those were deleted.
 * My opinion is those pages should either be left protected as archives or deleted, really has no reason to leave them as unprotected pages or it just becomes a target for users adding their own mods that belong on the forums, plus they have no useful content to transfer to another wiki. – KnightMiner  · (t) 02:48, 13 March 2019 (UTC)


 * Any reasons not to delete those pages then? I doubt they can be useful given they're incomplete, unmaintainable, horribly outdated, and probably have other problems as well. --AttemptToCallNil (report bug, view backtrace) 11:07, 13 March 2019 (UTC)


 * I personally see no value in the pages either, but given how long the pages have existed a wider discussion should probably happen before deleting (probably on the community portal, as its a few too many pages for an individual discussion per page). Mostly just a "what should we do with these pages" type discussion, as we also have a few other options such as soft redirect – KnightMiner  · (t) 17:00, 14 March 2019 (UTC)

Ancient protected titles
There's some titles which are currently locked to indefinite admin-only protection, likely due to major vandalism or other reasons. A decent amount of these are potentially close to a decade old at this point, and could safely have their protection lowered. Whether doing so or not is neccessary I'm not sure though, since I can't see any of them seeing legitimate use.


 * Aspergite - early Alpha redstone naming controversy, so probably not a problem at all anymore.
 * Pain forest
 * Kizzycocoa
 * HEROBRINE
 * Іnfdеv
 * Веdrоck
 * C00ked P0rkch0p
 * Моѕѕ Ѕtоnе‏
 * Ransco
 * Fire place
 * Numerous others

 * Thanks for the suggestions! While I generally don't like the idea of having pages protected simply because they don't need to be unprotected, I have to say that with the exception of Fire place, I don't think most of these should be unprotected. The majority of them are either pages that could only ever be created disruptively or appear as valid existing pages but are replaced with weird characters; I think it's safe to say that having these protected is not harmful and there's a chance that unprotecting them could cause harm. That's just my 2 cents, and if another admin disagrees with me and wants to unprotect them, I have no issues with that. It is true that it's not extremely likely that many of these would be created and not caught in the "prevent creation of unwanted pages" abuse filter. Now, as for Fire place, I feel like that could plausibly be a redirect to Tutorials/Furniture or maybe another page, so I've gone ahead and unprotected it, so anyone can do whatever they want with that. :-) Cheers, --Madminecrafter12 (Talk to me 02:17, 22 April 2019 (UTC)

These don't seem particularly malicious, so an unprotection for these shouldn't be too harmful. - User-12316399 (talk) 08:03, 23 April 2019 (UTC)

 * Hello, I'm sorry that happened to you; your edit that got caught in the abuse filter does indeed look constructive or at the least made in good faith. Users who have made less than 10 edits cannot edit the userpages of other users due to a global abuse filter (which local admins cannot change); it's meant to prevent accidental changes and vandalism because the userspace rarely needs editing besides its own user, but there are occasionally false positives. As I said, your changes look constructive and I could make the changes for you; however, I really know nothing about that page so I'm going to ping to make sure everything in there is correct before adding it (for reference, it's Special:AbuseLog/4594091).

Unnecessary protection
If you take a look at the [ protection log], the disambig pages for versions have autoconfirmed protection which isn't necessary. – Nixinova   20:53, 5 April 2019 (UTC)


 * Went ahead and unprotected all of these pages. I'm also not sure that Java Edition 1.9-1.12 (or many of the other indefinitely-protected version pages that are not the current or upcoming version) need to stay protected, since they're not necessarily high-traffic anymore. – Sonicwave talk  21:09, 5 April 2019 (UTC)

Rana being protected to directors-only also seems excessive, given that the only actual perpetrator with an account appears to have been block-evading anyway and all other edits are IP edits. - User-12316399 (talk) 12:55, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

It may also be worth unprotecting 1.15 and 1.16 now, since these are now disambiguation pages rather than Java Edition version pages, and they as such may not be as major targets for vandalism and speculation. - User-12316399 (talk) 14:10, 8 May 2019 (UTC)

...and Music Disc, Seed (level generation), Xbox Edition, Xbox 360 Edition, Squid, Xbox One Edition and potentially many other pages could have their protections completely removed as well, given the sheer age of the protections and their questionable relevancy.

Update Server Wrapper Table
I am trying to update the Server Wrapper table, and upon saving I get this error message, presumably because the links are to GitHub repos and the like:

An automated filter has detected that you are attempting to post a server IP. 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.

I am attempting to update the Server Wrappers table, I visited every website and forum linked in the table, and looked for the signs of the most recent activity for each project and updated the Date field. I also changed notes to make it clearer if a project had been officially abandoned by the developer. When I attempted to save my changes I get this error message, presumably because all the links are to GitHub repos and the like. I am trying to make the list useful by sorting on Date. I also attempted to edit the template for the table and change the "Date" field to "Last Updated" as it seems that would be very useful to people who are attempting to find a server control panel to install today. About 75% of the projects listed are no longer updated and won't work with modern versions of Minecraft. BrightRhino (talk) 19:03, 25 April 2019 (UTC)

 * To do that, you need to edit Programs and editors/header. --AttemptToCallNil (report bug, view backtrace) 20:49, 25 April 2019 (UTC)

Dlc
I'm trying to edit the dlc (skin, texture, mash-up, etc.) pages; as it currently is it is split among versions and I'm trying to combine it. However it won't let me move it around as it thinks it is being removed. –Preceding unsigned comment was added by Kelis98 (talk • contribs) at 17:10, 6 May 2019‎ (UTC). Please sign your posts with
 * The filters that disallowed your edit will cease to react to your actions when you've made a relatively small number of edits. Ten edits should be enough for that. It is not practical to make exceptions for specific users. --AttemptToCallNil (report bug, view backtrace) 17:16, 6 May 2019 (UTC)

Enchanting/Levels Changes
In 1.13 and 1.14, maximum enchantment values have been removed.

Code snippet from net.minecraft.server.EnchantmentManager using BuildTools:

for (int j = enchantment.getMaxLevel; j > enchantment.getStartLevel - 1; --j) { if (i >= enchantment.a(j)) { list.add(new WeightedRandomEnchant(enchantment, j)); break; }   }

where enchantment.a(int) is the calculation for minimum value and pre 1.14 enchantment.b(int) was for maximum value. –Preceding unsigned comment was added by Crashtheparty (talk • contribs) at 02:54, 8 May 2019‎ (UTC). Please sign your posts with


 * Hi ; your edit got caught in an abuse filter that is meant to disallow vandalism edits by preventing removal of sections, but often hits false positives. Your edit was a false positive and I'm sorry you weren't able to make it. Based on the details you've given, I'm pretty sure what you're saying is correct, but I can't verify it for myself unfortunately. Wonder if you'd be able to take a look and see if all the information in Special:AbuseLog/4597216 is accurate and adheres to the wiki standards? You seem to know quite a bit about technical Minecraft stuff. Cheers, --Madminecrafter12 (Talk to me 13:05, 8 May 2019 (UTC)

Removing beast boy addition note from Java Edition Indev 0.31 20100130
Hello, I'm trying to fix a small thing where the wiki says Beast Boy was added in 20100130 while it was actually in 20100129. I added the thing to the 20100129 page but I can't remove it from the 20100130 page, since I'm a "new user" (though I'm not even logged in or registered but whatever). The info thing said I should put it here, so yeah. --89.133.20.19 21:34, 13 May 2019 (UTC)
 * I've removed it from the 0130 page for you. – Nixinova Nixinova sig1.png Nixinova sig2.png 21:48, 13 May 2019 (UTC)

Simplify page structure for Structure Blueprints/New Village
The current layout of the Structure Blueprints page produces an unnecessarily large table of contents, mostly because of the redundant headings "Materials" and "Blueprint" that are placed onto every structure. While I was updating the page with additional content, I decided to simplify the layout of the page by removing those headings - since I'm a new user, the system disallowed my newest edit. I believe that a shorter table of contents without redundant content points provides information more efficiently to the user.--Scarcl0ud (talk) 21:43, 19 May 2019 (UTC)


 * The abuse filter hit because you were "remove a large number of sections". I would actually advise against removing the headers in this case as there is an easier way. As I did in this diff, you can just make the TOC only show header 2 and 3, skipping header 4. You should be able to do the same thing on other pages you see without hitting the abuse filter. – KnightMiner  · (t) 21:52, 19 May 2019 (UTC)


 * I agree that this is an even better option. Thanks :) --Scarcl0ud (talk) 16:30, 20 May 2019 (UTC)

Trying to clean up page on Skeleton Horses
I made some edits to the page on Skeleton Horses, but because I removed so much content (most of it is redundant and already on the main horses page), as well as did some major format/section changed, it won't let me make the edits as I'm a new user. I'm not sure how to proceed. Are admins able to see my drafts? If so, it's there, and can be applied. PunchFox39997 (talk) 10:49, 24 May 2019 (UTC)


 * For now, you could cut your edit up in smaller edits; it may seem like spam editing, but that's fine. Like, just do 1 section at a time. FVbico (talk) 10:56, 24 May 2019 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure how well that would work, with the way I changed the section formatting. I have a pastebin here, with the raw page text of my final draft: https://pastebin.com/eutDDc97. If you'd like, you can put that in and compare to the current version. I have to go for now, but if for some reason that isn't doable, I'll try doing smaller edits later on when I'm free again.

I can't create a user page!
Some "automated filter" told me I'm not allowed to create my own user page! Image: Aceattorneymaster111 (talk) 03:10, 2 June 2019 (UTC)


 * Hello, thank you for letting us know! I'm sorry that happened; your edit was caught in an abuse filter that prevents the creation of new pages that meet certain criteria to prevent vandalism and spam, but occasionally hits false positives. Since your edit was a false positive, I've gone ahead and created your user page, the way you had originally tried to create it (I think). Thanks for reporting and let me know if you have any questions!--Madminecrafter12 (Talk to me 03:18, 2 June 2019 (UTC)

Filter problem won't allow removal of incorrect section
This is a bit embarrassing for me, but, uh, can someone remove the Advancements section of this page, please? According to the Advancements page, Bad Luck isn't used in any Advancements, even though the bad_luck page claims otherwise. I'm too sleepy to make a Twitch/Gamepedia/Curse account, and I'll forget about it in the morning... –Preceding unsigned comment was added by 75.35.113.251 (talk) at 3:56, 02 June 2019 (UTC).

 * No, it's because they created a version page without including a reference, which is a recent abuse filter change. Also, IP, creating the page with "Fuck you nixinova" is also a reason your edits were blocked. – Nixinova Nixinova sig1.png Nixinova sig2.png 21:54, 3 June 2019 (UTC)
