(This section is continued from section "Part 5" of archive 1, which can be seen by clicking "load" above) Oh, I forgot to tell you! June 9th will be my 2 month anniversary of editing the Minecraft Wiki! Template:GridHere's some cake.Template:Grid --70.181.68.226 04:16, 26 May 2013 (UTC)

LOL. 11 July I celebrate the 6 month anniversary on this wiki! –- (T) Numbermaniac (C) 04:20, 26 May 2013 (UTC)
Good for you. Here's some cake. Template:Grid --70.181.68.226 04:23, 26 May 2013 (UTC)
Lol. Another lol for creating /pagesizestuff. –- (T) Numbermaniac (C) 04:26, 26 May 2013 (UTC)
Why thank you. Wait... Why do you get four cakes and I get none?! --70.181.68.226 04:30, 26 May 2013 (UTC)
Om nom nom. Sorry. Ok, you can have the last 4 slices. Template:GridTemplate:GridTemplate:GridTemplate:Grid –- (T) Numbermaniac (C) 05:01, 26 May 2013 (UTC)
Om nom nom. Yummy cake that barely restores any hunger. So, have you decided if I should leave that message on your Wikipedia page? --70.181.68.226 05:06, 26 May 2013 (UTC)
Ok. :D –- (T) Numbermaniac (C) 05:10, 26 May 2013 (UTC)
Yep, and it's the same on this wiki. –- (T) Numbermaniac (C) 05:31, 26 May 2013 (UTC)

Here we go again. Would it have been more convenient? --70.181.68.226 05:14, 26 May 2013 (UTC)

Yes, do it! –- (T) Numbermaniac (C) 05:15, 26 May 2013 (UTC)
 Done! --70.181.68.226 05:19, 26 May 2013 (UTC)
I got an email of it! Thanks! :D! –- (T) Numbermaniac (C) 05:22, 26 May 2013 (UTC)
You get an email every time someone edits your talk page? --70.181.68.226 05:29, 26 May 2013 (UTC)

Why do you need a bot? And give it some cake. Template:Grid --70.181.68.226 16:46, 27 May 2013 (UTC)
I had an idea. When I have an idea, I do it, unless my life will be over when I'm done. Example: bungee jumping with a string. And I will give Meeples100 some cake. Go Pigs! ×Meeples10×Talk

When I have an idea on Minecraft I do it, and unless it is made out of an un-flammable material, I usually accidentally blow it up/burn it to the ground. --70.181.68.226 17:27, 27 May 2013 (UTC)

Just so you know, I'm on my ipad. --70.181.68.226 17:47, 27 May 2013 (UTC)
You can't hover on an iPad. Here's what they say:
  • First pic: I did that edit. I'm probably not going to make any more manual edits via my bot, but you never know.
  • Second: I have 2 accounts in Minecraft. One is Meeples10, the other is Meeples11. Meeples10 is older than Meeples11, because Meeples11 was made just last week, and Meeples10 was made last February.

Ok, thanks. --70.181.68.226 09:29, 28 May 2013 (UTC)
Meeples, do you have a mod? --70.181.68.226 21:28, 28 May 2013 (UTC)
Nah, it's just an HD texture pack. 64 pixel, the name is ModernHD. It has some animations, but not much. Also, my computer won't run mods. I can try, but it just runs like vanilla. Go Pigs! ×Meeples10×Talk

Cool. As I say...

Sieze the day!

Pretty cool, huh? --70.181.68.226 03:18, 29 May 2013 (UTC)
Oh yeah, look at this:

Lolololol! I figured it out! (No account created... yet. Just a test sig) --70.181.68.226 04:53, 29 May 2013 (UTC)
If you do get an account, this would be the correct way to do the sig:
File:Diamond (Gem).pngsheepuff20talkcontribsFile:Diamond (Gem).png

Well, yeah, but this is what it'd look like:

File:Diamond (Gem).pngsheepuff20talkcontribsFile:Diamond (Gem).png

Or this:

Sheepuffsheepuff20talk contribs

No, the first one looks better. --70.181.68.226 02:55, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

Actually, if you get an account with the username sheepuff20, then the signature below would be correct (your links would be wrong if you got an account).

Yes, but the others are for when I make the user and talk pages. --70.181.68.226 22:42, 30 May 2013 (UTC)
I repeat, do not make your userpage or talk page when/if you make an account. If you do and admin will have to delete it to make way for the move. –- (T) Numbermaniac (C) 07:18, 31 May 2013 (UTC)
No, I mean when you move the pages. --70.181.68.226 11:22, 31 May 2013 (UTC)
Ok. –- (T) Numbermaniac (C) 12:00, 31 May 2013 (UTC)
I didn't know you were on at this time! --70.181.68.226 12:13, 31 May 2013 (UTC)
The box at the top isn't entirely accurate. I did say 11:00 to 13:00, but by weekends I kind of meant Friday and Saturday nights. –- (T) Numbermaniac (C) 12:20, 31 May 2013 (UTC)
And it's my iPad, not my computer that I am on now. –- (T) Numbermaniac (C) 12:21, 31 May 2013 (UTC)
Yay! So you know how hard it is to type on an ipad. --70.181.68.226 12:25, 31 May 2013 (UTC)

I knew that before you came to this wiki. It's alright, and the corrections are pretty accurate, but nowhere as good as a computer. –- (T) Numbermaniac (C) 12:28, 31 May 2013 (UTC)

Yeah. But I always use my ipad because it's more portable and convenient to carry to my room and go on. Plus, it doesn't make my parents suspicious that I'm playing Minecraft without asking :P --70.181.68.226 12:36, 31 May 2013 (UTC)

Part 7

I agree with those features, but I hate the fact the Chrome just keeps on killing pages. Anyway got to go for now, good night! (For me anyway. Calculate it, UTC+10.) –- (T) Numbermaniac (C) 12:41, 31 May 2013 (UTC)

Good night for you! --70.181.68.226 12:43, 31 May 2013 (UTC)
Wait, are you playing on those servers again? --70.181.68.226 12:42, 31 May 2013 (UTC)
Nope, it was just that one time I wanted to check my shop in minecraftsmp and play a bit on oc.tc after the new setup. All the things in my chest got stolen from mincraftsmp, but oc.tc is awesome now! I might play it again, but don't count on it. –- (T) Numbermaniac (C) 01:05, 1 June 2013 (UTC)
Wha...? I gave you a few stacks of cobble on minecraftSMP! --70.181.68.226 02:23, 1 June 2013 (UTC)
How? We were never online at the same time. –- (T) Numbermaniac (C) 02:39, 1 June 2013 (UTC)
I put it in your chest. --70.181.68.226 03:19, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

You opened my chest...? –- (T) Numbermaniac (C) 03:30, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

Don't worry, I promise you a million times that I never took anything out. --70.181.68.226 03:47, 1 June 2013 (UTC)
But how did you open it?! –- (T) Numbermaniac (C) 04:11, 1 June 2013 (UTC)
Uh... I walked upstairs and right clicked on it? --70.181.68.226 04:17, 1 June 2013 (UTC)
Oh, wait! The chest was empty when I opened it! --70.181.68.226 04:42, 1 June 2013 (UTC)
Far out... I left the door open which I shouldn't have. Then how was my chest openable? I placed it, so only I could have opened it. Some moron griefed theserver probably... and stole everything in my chest. !@#$!!! –- (T) Numbermaniac (C) 04:53, 1 June 2013 (UTC)
Nope, I could open and close the doors too. --70.181.68.226 04:57, 1 June 2013 (UTC)
The stuff I gave you is still there. And can you tell me when you're on the server? I'm having trouble getting a plot. --70.181.68.226 03:12, 4 June 2013 (UTC)

Yay, I got a plot! I've given up trying to make a warp. But, the nearest warp is /w RacerArena, and my plot is across the lake. I'm trying to find someplace to get wood or stone brick or brick. --70.181.68.226 13:54, 5 June 2013 (UTC)

Hooray! Why doesn't the warp work? Stand inside your plot, then type /warp create WARP NAME. –- (T) Numbermaniac (C) 05:30, 6 June 2013 (UTC)
I have absolutely no idea. Is there something I need to do? --70.181.68.226 15:06, 6 June 2013 (UTC)

Part 8

I had an idea, just now! We can make a page in one of our userspaces listing the most active users! It'd be a great project! --70.181.68.226 03:14, 4 June 2013 (UTC)

A now inactive user called HexZyle made one at User:HexZyle/Template:TopContributors, or something like that. It's now a dead project, although I added a few recently. –- (T) Numbermaniac (C) 05:59, 4 June 2013 (UTC)
Lol, never knew he already made that page. --70.181.68.226 06:08, 4 June 2013 (UTC)
Is it a he? I don't know. Meh. It does say you can copy it into your own userspace... I shall investigate. –- (T) Numbermaniac (C) 06:46, 4 June 2013 (UTC)

I don't see any difference. Meh. There must be something wrong with my ipad. --70.181.68.226 03:35, 5 June 2013 (UTC)

Meeples10 typed it incorrectly. It's font-size, not font size. –- (T) Numbermaniac (C) 08:46, 5 June 2013 (UTC)
Sorry, two mistakes:
First one I just said.
Second one was typing span class. It should be span style. –- (T) Numbermaniac (C) 08:47, 5 June 2013 (UTC)
And that's easy as pie. –- (T) Numbermaniac (C) 08:48, 5 June 2013 (UTC)
I can still read it.
Have you found out anything about the active user project? --70.181.68.226 08:51, 5 June 2013 (UTC)
My point.
Not really. What info do you want me to find out? –- (T) Numbermaniac (C) 08:52, 5 June 2013 (UTC)
Now that is implausible to read. –- (T) Numbermaniac (C) 08:56, 5 June 2013 (UTC)
I can read it. Want me to make it even smaller? And, YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BE INVESTIGATING IT!!! --70.181.68.226 09:00, 5 June 2013 (UTC)

My plot was griefed. The iron ore was stolen. –- (T) Numbermaniac (C) 08:36, 6 June 2013 (UTC)

Oh, and Numbermaniac, I have eight iron ore, you can borrow one. --70.181.68.226 12:37, 6 June 2013 (UTC)

You know about Tropical Storm Andrea? Well, I'm right in the middle of it. 180 mph winds, blowing down then back up. The wind is blowing so hard the rain is falling UP. I am not joking. It tore the roof off of a concrete hotel acress the street from mine. There is 2-foot-deep water in the roads. I am on the 1st floor of my hotel, and we can't open the door because the ocean water is up to the road (which, by the way, is about 1/4 of a mile away from the ocean at low tide). So I might be away from my home computer for longer than 10 days, as the eye is supposed to pass over my town on Saturday (the day I get home). Also: I caught a 10 & three quarters foot long mako shark yesterday. I feel sorry for the boy that got his toes bit off before we caught the shark. Go Pigs! ×Meeples10×Talk

If you've been watching the news/weather, you can see that a tornado (technically waterspout, as it was over the ocean). The tornado was over a pier, with very rough waves below. There was a person on the pier, wearing a bright jacket on the pier. That was me! Go Pigs! ×Meeples10×Talk

Okay, now what? --70.181.68.226 05:42, 17 May 2013 (UTC)

Why can't you create an account? -- (T) Numbermaniac (C) 05:59, 17 May 2013 (UTC)
First my questions. --70.181.68.226 06:01, 17 May 2013 (UTC)
Ok then. Fire. I mean the questions. -- (T) Numbermaniac (C) 06:42, 17 May 2013 (UTC)
What do you usually do once you've made an account? --70.181.68.226 08:14, 17 May 2013 (UTC)
Create your userpage, or change your preferences to suit you? Or get straight into editing, whatever you want. -- (T) Numbermaniac (C) 08:47, 17 May 2013 (UTC)
Just an idea, but make a redirect from your IP talk page to your user talk page. ×Meeples10× 10:10, 17 May 2013 (UTC)
Good idea, when she makes an account... I'll do all the moving and stuff. -- (T) Numbermaniac (C) 11:38, 17 May 2013 (UTC)
Lol, got that. :) --70.181.68.226 14:03, 17 May 2013 (UTC)

I'd probably do the redirects and moving first, so no one sees me as a red link. Then... EDITING!!! --70.181.68.226 14:12, 17 May 2013 (UTC)

ok. But don't do the REDIRECTS till you create an account, it looks bad on the recent changes page (Looks like Vandalism/SPAM).--007a83 (Talk|Contribs) 14:38, 17 May 2013 (UTC)
I won't. It's not like I could, since I dont have an account... YET. --70.181.68.226 15:35, 17 May 2013 (UTC)
Another question. What questions did you have before you made an account, and how were they answered? --70.181.68.226 16:08, 17 May 2013 (UTC)
Maybe this will help:
Differences between having an account
and editing anonymously
Without Account With Account
Go to a page and edit Go to a page and edit
Edits are associated with an IP address Edits are associated with an account, IP address kept private
Cannot legitimately have a user page Can have a user page
Never log in Log in once a month, or when editing from a new location
Must preview pages before editing Can save edits without previewing
Must do the cat captcha to add external links No cat captcha (once account is autoconfirmed)
Cannot move pages Can move pages
If editing from somewhere else, edits will be associated with that different IP address Can edit from anywhere and still have edits associated with your account
Cannot upload files Can upload files
Cannot create pages Can create pages
Cannot use watchlist Can use watchlist to monitor changes to favorite pages
Cannot mark edits as "minor" Can mark edits as "minor"
Not eligible for any user rights Eligible for positions such as a wiki Administrator
Good only for infrequent editors Good for people trying to be a part of the wiki community
Cannot edit protected pages Can edit protected pages
Cannot customise the look of the wiki Can customise look of the wiki, including removing the sidebar.
Anyone else, feel free to add differences to the table that I may have missed. --timrem 17:04, 17 May 2013 (UTC)
That was elaborate. :) --70.181.68.226 17:08, 17 May 2013 (UTC)
What have I missed?! When you register, I will move the pages from here to your registered account, so DON'T create your userpage or user talk page when you create an account. When I move it, I can also leave a redirect behind. -- (T) Numbermaniac (C) 01:48, 18 May 2013 (UTC)

By "what" I meant, why did you say "so"? --70.181.68.226 04:12, 18 May 2013 (UTC)
Never mind, any thoughts on the account? -- (T) Numbermaniac (C) 04:15, 18 May 2013 (UTC)

I'm teetering on the edge. If you don't give you an email, what kind of communications do they send you? Does Curse only send them to the certain device you're using, or to any device using that IP? --70.181.68.226 04:20, 18 May 2013 (UTC)

They cannot send you any communications without an email. Even if you do have an email, they will not send you any emails whatsoever. You can optionally turn on the setting to receive emails when a page you are watching is edited, but that is totally optional, and some admins don't use it. -- (T) Numbermaniac (C) 04:21, 18 May 2013 (UTC)
No communications? Huh. I'm teetering a bit closer to getting an account. --70.181.68.226 04:24, 18 May 2013 (UTC)
Hooray! To become auto confirmed, you may need an email, but the only message you will ever receive is a confirmation email when you add your email, just to make sure it is indeed you who owns the email. After that, no emails whatsoever. -- (T) Numbermaniac (C) 04:27, 18 May 2013 (UTC)
According to Minecraft Wiki:Autoconfirmed users, you need 10 edits in any "namespace" (the bit before the colon of a title), you must be registered for 4 days, and you need an email. -- (T) Numbermaniac (C) 04:29, 18 May 2013 (UTC)
Not to be rude or anything, but there is no "teetering". You either get an account or your userspace will be removed. I shouldn't have been indifferent when Numbermaniac asked me about IPs having a userspace. Wynthyst has made the determination that you have to get an account. We are not going to block you and you can continue to make edits, but you will not have a userspace. There is no requirement to use your email address. All you need for an account is a username and password. It's that simple. Just make one already. Kanegasi C 04:31, 18 May 2013 (UTC)

Huh, finally. Remember not to make your userpage or user talk page, so that I can move the existing ones there. -- (T) Numbermaniac (C) 04:40, 18 May 2013 (UTC)

How is it that I've seen some posts by IPs unsigned, but whenever I don't sign a post and try to save my edit it says that I have to sign?--70.181.68.226 03:51, 20 May 2013 (UTC)

While he could've said it nicely, he is right. I don't see why you have an issue. Please stop stalling and make an account. Kanegasi C 04:34, 20 May 2013 (UTC)
Guys, quit feeding the troll and move on :P 74.102.143.250 12:59, 20 May 2013 (UTC)
74.102.143.250, who are you? --70.181.68.226 13:35, 20 May 2013 (UTC)
An anonymous editor. A nobody. Otherwise they'd have an account. 66.90.101.217 14:11, 20 May 2013 (UTC)
I guess I can be satisfied with that answer. --70.181.68.226 14:41, 20 May 2013 (UTC)
You could find some information about them, though. Such as looking up 70.181.68.226 tells me you have cable internet through Cox Communications Inc and are possibly near Orange County, CA (or Oklahoma City, OK. It's a rough guess based on their service area and the fact that your resolve host has 'oc' in the path). 74.102.143.250 uses Verizon and is likely near Newark, NJ. 95.154.230.254 14:46, 20 May 2013 (UTC)

This is a good reason to register an account. If you don't feel comfortable with people knowing your general location and other publicly available information for IPs, hide it by registering. Kanegasi C 20:07, 20 May 2013 (UTC)

Thank you Kanegasi for pointing that out. But if you don't mind, I deleted that post. --70.181.68.226 20:32, 20 May 2013 (UTC)
It is up to Numbermaniac if he wants to remove posts on his talk page. Kanegasi C 20:38, 20 May 2013 (UTC)
Sorry Kanegasi, I didn't know. But I'm still not comfortable with people knowing how to obtain general info on where I am currently :(. I have a question, though. If people can figure out general info on where you live by looking up your IP, then why does this wiki show it for anonymous users? --70.181.68.226 20:42, 20 May 2013 (UTC)
There is no other way to identify "anonymous" users. IPs are used to keep track of actions performed by everyone. The user right "checkuser" that only a few admins have also allow them to see IPs of logged-in users to determine if someone is using more than one account, especially for vandals or someone "sockpuppeting" by making it look like multiple people agree with them. Kanegasi C 20:47, 20 May 2013 (UTC)
Ahh, that makes sense, also because one of the wiki rules says that one person should only have one account, right? --70.181.68.226 20:51, 20 May 2013 (UTC)
Correct. That's not just a rule though, it's general wiki etiquette. There are a few exceptions to this though, like some users with a legitimate bot account that makes a ton of repetitive edits, but generally one account per person to ensure security and constructive/stable edits. Kanegasi C 21:00, 20 May 2013 (UTC)
That makes sense, but what are "bots"? --70.181.68.226 22:20, 20 May 2013 (UTC)
Bot users are users who create 2 (or more) accounts to do repetitive or boring asks. examples: Typo fixes, convert hyphens/minuses (-) to a dash (–), etc. The full list is here.
Bot users:
  1. User:R2-D2
  2. User:Gnu64
  3. User:Overwatch AI

You should get a account. My IP tracker spit this out. hard to say if the area is right but everything else is.

Are you serious? I believe one Abuse Filter blocks unregistered users from adding external links due to advertising or spam, but that is weird. –- (T) Numbermaniac (C) 08:12, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

I have attempted to remedy this, but there's no possible way to fix this while still stopping link spam. That filter, along with others, catches a ridiculous amount of attempted spam every day. The wiki can't go longer than 15 minutes without some spambot IP trying to replace an entire page with gibberish and spam links. The only way around this is to make an account and do at least ten edits. We can't make specific exceptions for every friendly IP. Kanegasi C 09:21, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

Hey,, I don't know everything about technology! --70.181.68.226 13:26, 1 June 2013 (UTC)
Numbermaniac, I saw your post on the Admin noticeboard, and I just want to clarify: It just won't let an unregistered user type one of those words. I won't block them, it just won't let them save the page. --70.181.68.226 16:11, 1 June 2013 (UTC)
And Kanegasi, what was that protection that accidentally got me blocked? --70.181.68.226 16:15, 1 June 2013 (UTC)
Most filters either warn users or disallow saving the change. There is an option to block a user if they trigger a filter, and we used to use this for some spam, but the only option is indefinite. It was a bit spammy itself as the abuse filter fills up the block log in the recent changes, plus banning IPs forever will eventually harm someone else down the road if that IP wasn't permanently assigned to the spam server. I would like to think that sometime in the future, we could go through the indefinite block list and start cleaning out IPs, but this may not happen. I think the abuse filter allows block time setting in later MediaWiki versions, but I am not sure of this. We used the block option for some lemon spam trigger words, and I believe there's no harm in saying that "Fruitland" was a trigger word, but I figured it was too simple to cause a block after that. "Lemon" and "Fruitland" are disallowed, but won't trigger a block. As a sort of disclaimer, please don't test the block filter to find out the trigger words. Other admins may not share my sympathy with unblocking an "innocent" more than once. Kanegasi C 22:50, 1 June 2013 (UTC)
That was a very long answer. :D. Thanks! –- (T) Numbermaniac (C) 02:51, 2 June 2013 (UTC)
Wow. Kanegasi, I guess our opinions are more alike than I thought. Thanks for the explaination! --70.181.68.226 03:54, 2 June 2013 (UTC)
