Minecraft Wiki:Admin noticeboard

Minecraft Wiki Admin noticeboard

The admin noticeboard is one way through which users can notify administrators of issues needing administrative attention. While users are welcome to directly contact specific administrators (especially if they are seen to be active), posting here can be an easier and quicker way of ensuring that at least one admin will notice an issue and respond to it promptly. Remember to sign (using four tildes: ~~~~) when posting an issue.

Before posting an issue here, please consider the following:

• This page is for reporting wiki issues. Please post any discussions on the community portal talk page.
• Post only issues that require administrative action, i.e. blocking vandals, protecting pages, restoring deleted pages etc.
• Do not post deletion requests here; instead, the page should be tagged for deletion.
• Do not post issues regarding content disputes. Try making a request for comment instead.
• Mediation requests between users should only be made once a resolution could not be reached between users.
• For issues regarding the use of this wiki, please see our help center.
• For issues with filters preventing edits from being saved: filters are not able to be disabled for specific people. However, an admin may be able to perform the edit themselves for you. "New user" filters expire after you log in and make some edits around the wiki.

In case of vandalism, posting about it here is low priority. Revert it first, anyone can do so. If the vandal created a new page, tag it for speedy deletion. Assume good faith and consider leaving a message on that user's talk page to explain the reason. Post here only if the user has made several disruptive edits and/or persists despite a warning. Always avoid a revert war with the vandal; it is far better to wait until an admin has a chance to intervene.

If a user must be reported here, do not create a new section. Instead, add * {{vandal|Example user}} Your concise reason (e.g. vandalised past 4th warning). ~~~~ in the Block requests section.

If a protection or unprotection request must be requested here, do not create a new section. Instead, add * {{la|Example page}} '''duration (temporary or indefinite) and protection level''': Your concise reason (e.g. constant spam and vandalism). <nowiki>~~~~ in the Protection requests section.

Please post new topics at the bottom of the page by clicking the "add topic" button above.

Why do I get blocked?

Last night I was editing the parity issue list, I was adding some important things, it took me about an hour. When I was done and hit save, it didn't let me. Some network error popped up. Now I tried it again, this time I only edited one single line and hit save, it didn't work again, and I received the following warning:

Your action has been disallowed by an automated edit filter. A brief description of the matched rule(s) for your action is: [SOAP] Spam prevention

I wasn't "spamming", I was just trying to add important things that were missing from that page. I would like to know why this happens and how I can continue editing without getting this warning. Hobbylos1 (talk) 12:13, 28 January 2024 (UTC)

Short answer: you attempted to add a link to the forked wiki, which is against the Forking Policy.

Full answer: I assume "this time I only edited one single line" is referring to the line starting with "Player's hand and held." However, in your attempted edits, you also touched the line three lines down (the one starting with "Players have an animation"). I'm guessing you copied that line, or maybe the entire General or Animations section, and pasted it on this wiki. However, for whatever reason, this changed the link in that line: it replaced the link in the reference tag (the Minecraft Feedback link) with a link to the reference tag (what happens when you click the little [feedback 1] in the article). Those URLs, by default, take the URL of the current article and append "cite_note-x" to it. Since you were copying text from the forked wiki, that URL was a link to the forked wiki. The AbuseFilter does not allow links to the forked wiki. SLScool 00:04, 29 January 2024 (UTC)

My account is lost

Can you please move my original account's (TheGreatSpring) subpages onto my userspace as I can't move pages. Can you please also restore my old user rights? TheGreatFall (talk) 23:31, 1 May 2021 (UTC)

To the admin giving this request attention: Please restore the same user rights to TheGreatFall that TheGreatSpring had. His edits are showing up in lists of unpatrolled edits, and they shouldn't be. Amatulic (talk) 07:25, 2 May 2021 (UTC)

How did you lost your account? 105.186.117.183 10:59, 2 May 2021 (UTC)

Closed my account and accidentally did not reactivated it. TheGreatFall (talk) 11:38, 2 May 2021 (UTC)

Why did you close your account in the first place? If you wanted to have a new username you could have just used the user rename tool. James Haydon (talk) 20:16, 2 May 2021 (UTC)

Seems like they closed it for an April Fools' joke, but they were actually still able to edit during the 30 day grace period and probably did not see the notice when you log in during the grace period (probably some glitch between Fandom and Gamepedia), which is probably why it gone unnoticed until it was permanently closed on May 1st, exactly 30 days later. – Unavailablehoax (talk) 22:04, 2 May 2021 (UTC)

Can’t an admin restore it? VillagerCraftMC (talk | contribs | cheeseburger) /give @a emerald 22:11, 2 May 2021 (UTC)

Why would they do that for April fools though? Pretty risky if you ask me. James Haydon (talk) 22:13, 2 May 2021 (UTC)

You really shouldn't blame them, if you look at their logs and contribs, they were still able to do everything a regular account can during the waiting period. It's probably a bug with UCP that doesn't show the notice on Gamepedia (closing your account is a Fandom feature). – Unavailablehoax (talk) 22:26, 2 May 2021 (UTC)

So there is supposed to be a notice that your account only has 30 days until it's closed? James Haydon (talk) 22:28, 2 May 2021 (UTC)

That is not an April Fool's Joke closing. That is a serious closing. TheGreatFall (talk) 00:09, 3 May 2021 (UTC)

So I guess you didn't really want to use that account anymore. James Haydon (talk) 00:11, 3 May 2021 (UTC)

I'm confused, did you close it on purpose or on accident (since you said you accidentally did not reactivate it.Humiebee^{talk contribs} 00:18, 3 May 2021 (UTC)

Oh I meant accidentally. Sorry. TheGreatFall (talk) 00:22, 3 May 2021 (UTC)

Okay so did you have to log back in after you accidentally closed it? Did it give you any instruction on how to un-close it? If you go on the account closing page it says that upon logging back in, it gives you instructions on how to un-close it. James Haydon (talk) 00:25, 3 May 2021 (UTC)

Can't you request to restore your old account on Zendesk?Humiebee^{talk contribs} 22:27, 2 May 2021 (UTC)

No you can't. On the account closing page it says that it cannot be undone, so they can't do anything other than move the contribs and wikipoints to his new account. James Haydon (talk) 00:13, 3 May 2021 (UTC)

File:Sfx_mob_enchanterHurt-003_soundWave.ogg

This sound file is glitched so that it only plays once. However, when I tried to reupload it again to fix it, it wouldn't let me because it sounds exactly like the current sound. Can an admin maybe delete this file so it can be uploaded fresh again? James Haydon (talk) 07:29, 9 May 2021 (UTC)

Well that's odd. When I played the file, it played numerous times without any issues. I have Microsoft Edge as my browser, so maybe that has something to do with it. 199.243.89.130 23:10, 9 May 2021 (UTC)

Yes, It's buggy. Why you should help this file right now? 49.228.136.56 10:13, 10 May 2021 (UTC)

Because it's on the enchanter page and having a buggy file isn't that good considering that the sounds sections are usually meant to be played repeatedly. Can't upload over it because it doesn't let you upload the same sound effect over itself, so deletion will be needed.James Haydon (talk) 20:34, 12 May 2021 (UTC)

I will fix this issue for this file soon. Thanks. 49.228.136.56 02:43, 13 May 2021 (UTC)

When i undo the vandalism, why do i get internal error? 105.225.91.157 12:22, 13 May 2021 (UTC)

Request for an anti-vandalism edit filter

This might be hard, but if a page starting with "Java Edition" is created, there should automatically be semi-protection for 24 - 48 hours (due to vandalism frequently appearing in new snapshot pages/new version pages) right after it is released/announced (like Java Edition 1.17, Java Edition 1.16.4, and Java Edition 21w15a).

Future of Fandom

What if disallow never exited? 105.225.210.9 09:26, 15 May 2021 (UTC)

Please discuss! 105.225.210.9 13:28, 15 May 2021 (UTC)

What kind of disallow are you talking about? James Haydon (talk) 19:49, 15 May 2021 (UTC)

Vandalism on Trading

Can someone please undo Special:Diff/1938473. I can't because an automated filter won't let me remove a section. Perseus54 (talk) 18:30, 15 May 2021 (UTC)

Thanks Goro488. Perseus54 (talk) 18:34, 15 May 2021 (UTC)

No problem Goro488 (talk) 18:36, 15 May 2021 (UTC)
