If you believe you have been wrongfully blocked, you may discuss the block on your talk page, which you usually will still be able to edit.

Minecraft Wiki Admin noticeboard

Shortcuts

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)

Error on Wild Update page.

On the Wild update page It shows the Warden and the Deep Dark biome, however they are being added in the 1.18 C&CII Update not the 1.19 Wild Update. I cannot fix this as an error shows up so I am asking someone else to do it. – Unsigned comment added by Infrasound7 (talk • contribs) at 18:57 UTC October 16 (UTC). Sign comments with ~~~~

First, please sign your comment using 4 tildas (~~~~) and the Warden is going to be added to the 1.19 Wild Update. Humiebee^{talk contribs} 20:07, 16 October 2021 (UTC)

Edit war on Java Edition version history/Development versions

I found series of vandalism edit war on Java Edition version history/Development versions, so i think you will protect that page for a month? 49.228.176.139 05:09, 26 October 2021 (UTC)

Consider that Java Edition 1.18 Pre-release 1 is not released yet until certain number of weeks. 49.228.176.139 05:14, 26 October 2021 (UTC)

Vandalism on Concrete Page

Someone vandalised the concrete page and replaced all the 'Concrete' with 'Dinnerbone', as well as turning Java into Fava, and Bedrock into Badrock, etc. Can someone pleace fix that? -Infrasound7

Please create a page called "Criticism of Minecraft"

Thanks! 99.19.68.61 00:46, 14 November 2021 (UTC)

Why? That's what Wikipedia is for. See wikipedia:Minecraft#Reception. Wikipedia would give the topic more encyclopedic treatment. It's sort of outside the scope of the Minecraft wiki. Amatulic (talk) 05:02, 14 November 2021 (UTC)

Please change a page model

Please change Module:Sandbox/GameTag/Data.json to json for storing module data.

Thank you.--Snow dash（Talk & Contributions） 15:29, 15 November 2021 (UTC)

Can't type Minecraft preset (admin keeps blocking it)

I made new Minecraft preset. I tried to make a new page with the preset, but the admin keeps blocking it, as it says, it has unwanted words. But it was only Minecraft preset. I can't do anything! – Unsigned comment added by Tankazer (talk • contribs) at 13:27, 7 December 2021 (UTC). Sign comments with ~~~~

I'm not an admin and have no idea what would've triggered that abuse filter, but the page you're describing is not something that would meet this wiki's notability guidelines, which disallow pages regrading fan-made content. If that's still something you want to get posted to the wiki, it would have to be a subpage of your user page – JEC _talk @ 15:41, 7 December 2021 (UTC)

I also changed the filter a bit. I suspect it was causing an issue because of the "lapisSize" property. --AttemptToCallNil (talk) 10:29, 8 December 2021 (UTC)
