Translation problem
Hi Quatroking,
I'm a minecraft player from hungary, and I would like to take part in the hungarian translation project. Only problem, that it's not possible because the website software says that I don't have the right to create new pages. Is there a solution by any chance? I would like to create Items/hu and pages like that, not whole new wiki pages.
Thanks,
Kenkesey8
Also, this is my third attempt to get an answer for my question. Just saying. Seems like this is a dead page.

- In order to create pages and upload files you need at least 10 edits, having your email confirmed and be registered for 3 days.--Quatroking - MCWiki Administrator 19:49, 22 May 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks for replying this quickly. How can I achieve 10 edits? Shall I go and correct some misspellings? Does this small letter count as an edit? Thanks.
--Kenkesey8 14:19, 23 May 2011 (UTC) - I think, in fact, that your 2 messages on this page might already count as edits :) --Gemberkoekje 14:20, 23 May 2011 (UTC)
- AFAIK edits on userpages/talkpages do not count. You can easily achieve 10 edits by correcting existing articles; rewording, correcting grammar, adding extra info, stuff like that.--Quatroking - MCWiki Administrator 14:26, 23 May 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks, than I guess I have to go and find myself some flaws in the database! Thanks for the advices!

Why was the Sandbox deleted?
It's specifically to try out your editing skills, so why did UltraDude25 delete it?
--Booyahhayoob 17:10, 3 April 2011 (UTC)
- 12:17, 3 April 2011 Ultradude25 deleted "Minecraft Wiki:Sandbox" (This page is useless. If you want to screw around with templates do it in your userspace.) - Special:Log/delete -- Oliver Scholz - de.Wiki Admin 17:55, 3 April 2011 (UTC)
- Considering this is about an action performed by Ultradude25, please ask him instead.--Quatroking - MCWiki Administrator 18:12, 3 April 2011 (UTC)
- I deleted it because It has no point. The only possible reason to have it is if it's ignored by the recent changes list, so using it doesn't spam it up; but it IS included, so you may as well play with templates and wikicode in your userspace. Having a single page for it is just going to lead to people fighting over the space and putting useless spam in. –ultradude25 (T|C) at 06:03, 4 April 2011 (UTC)
Just saying
Your icon is cute. *scurries away* I was going to ask you something, but then figured out the answer to it. Bwahaha. And then I didn't know what else to say here.--Artsy 13:48, 9 April 2011 (UTC)
- I am the king of cute!!!--Quatroking - MCWiki Administrator 13:56, 9 April 2011 (UTC)
Wool
The Wool page still appears to have the vandalized image. I don't know if this is just my computer, so can you check it and modify if necessary? Thanks. JesusChrist666 01:25, 14 April 2011 (UTC)
- It's just you. Refresh your cache.--Quatroking - MCWiki Administrator 08:09, 14 April 2011 (UTC)
Typo on "Minecraft Wiki:Directors"
Hey, I noticed a typo on Minecraft Wiki: Directors but couldn't fix it because the page is protected. In the introduction part of the page, the line, "This page and it's talk page is to facilitate communication between them and allow all of the various language sites to work in sync with each other." should read "This page and its talk page is to facilitate communication between them and allow all of the various language sites to work in sync with each other.". The typo I fixed was changing "it's" to "its". Could you please make this correction for me? Thanks, Oxguy3 tc 21:10, 16 April 2011 (UTC)
User:Wiki master and the Notch page
I noticed you've been closely watching the page Notch; I'd like to draw your attention to the fact that the “He has a lot of friends ... and Megabuilder” sentence was added by Wiki master whose later edits were also reverted as being more obviously off. Perhaps that part should also be checked? —KPReid 13:59, 17 April 2011 (UTC)
- As I understand it, this Megabuilder person is the guy Notch sat with at a cafe, and the person who suggested dogs/wolves. However I still haven't been able to find any sources on this so I'm leaning towards removing the entire line altogether.--Quatroking - MCWiki Administrator 16:44, 17 April 2011 (UTC)
Reverting move changes
I tried to revert one of the (many) page rewrites by Olitted Form, but the page which had been overwritten is now blank. How can this information be recovered? The pages in question were Cooked Porkchop and Monster Spawner, the latter of which is now blank. Darkid 01:17, 23 April 2011 (UTC) And it fixed itself. Huh. Darkid 01:18, 23 April 2011 (UTC)
- Working on it.--Quatroking - MCWiki Administrator 01:18, 23 April 2011 (UTC)
- Someone got Bedrock too. JesusChrist666 01:22, 23 April 2011 (UTC)
- Same guy, all changes have since been reverted, however some page links seem to be malfunctional. Darkid 01:24, 23 April 2011 (UTC)
- Fixed all redirects as of now. Darkid 01:33, 23 April 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks, we're most probably going to throw move rights into confirmed-only seeing how much of a pain in the ass this is.--Quatroking - MCWiki Administrator 01:35, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

Minimap Page
Notch mentioned adding minimaps. You can read it on http://notch.tumblr.com/. Should this get a page? JesusChrist666 00:26, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
- Personally I wouldn't, because the information he gave is very minimum and there are no examples at all. The article would mainly consist out of speculation and hardly anything legit.--Quatroking - MCWiki Administrator 07:27, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
Tutorial: Shelter_Types
This morning I tried to get into the article 'Tutorials/Shelter_Types' and my computer blocked me from it. I'm using my school computer, but it allows me to display all of the MCWiki pages except Tutorials/Shelter_Types. I'm not concerned that I'm blocked, because I can use another computer; however, I believe there might be something malicious on that page. My school blocker only blocks maclicious content. If there's nothing there, don't be worried. Thanks! --Rocĸetor talk 11:33, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
- Exactly what warning does it give? I can't find anything on the page that might be causing a block.--Quatroking - MCWiki Administrator 12:01, 27 April 2011 (UTC)

Hi, can you move the files to "Achievement" please? :( I've called it wrong.

thx -- Oliver Scholz - Wiki Admin 20:17, 29 April 2011 (UTC)
- You'll have to delete them all and re-upload them again, I can't move them because of conflicting filenames.--Quatroking - MCWiki Administrator 21:36, 29 April 2011 (UTC)
- Yes, they exist in german-wiki already, please delete them in a few minutes -- Oliver Scholz - Wiki Admin 21:50, 29 April 2011 (UTC)
New page/upload file

Multicraft changes reverted
May I know why you reverted the addition of hosting providers that use Multicraft bundled from the page? Jamesf
- We're not an advertising service.--Quatroking - MCWiki Administrator 19:05, 13 May 2011 (UTC)
- The section was created to inform users of services available with the software bundled should they not want to set it up themselves, just like on the page with the mcmyadmin panel http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/McMyAdmin#Services_using_McMyAdmin What's the difference here? Jamesf
- Oh. Well, nevermind then, sorry for reverting. Feel free to re-add it. (and please, sign your comments)--Quatroking - MCWiki Administrator 18:24, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

Unlocking the Minecraft Skins link section?
I've learned my lesson from our link war. Can you please unlock the skins page? It's been over a month now, I promise to play nicely.
MCSaver.net
Hi there. I run MCSaver.net, a map/world recovery service. A lot of people are still losing maps, especially with 1.6 out now. I was wondering how I would go about getting representation on Minecraftwiki, since its a resource people often go to for help?
- (please sign your comments next time!) If its an application, you can probably throw it in that section.Just don't make it too advertise-y.--Quatroking - MCWiki Administrator 13:09, 29 May 2011 (UTC)
Peaceful to Hard to Peaceful Mode
I was just wondering if you were on Peaceful mode on Minecraft Beta 1.6.6, and it was day. Then you
got in your little hideout at night, all safe and protected, and turned the mode on Hard. Then, you waited till sunrise, when all the skeletons and zombies catch on fire, and you turned it on Peaceful. Would the stuff that the skeletons and zombies drop still be there for you to collect? yes. changing difficulty will not affect the item entitys--Higbey 00:12, 22 June 2011 (UTC)
Herobrine
In most wikis, anything that is "notable" gets a page. Why not add this page, with a clear header indicating it is a joke, and with factual information such as:
Herobrine was the subject of a persistent urban legend centered around Minecraft. The persistent stories held that Minecraft hid a human NPC by the name Herobrine. The NPC was alleged to build its own mines and homes, and to haunt, taunt, or observe the player in SSP. Although Notch frequently stated Herobrine was a false rumor, he often played along, fanning the flames with tongue-in-cheek twitter posts. In version 1.6.6, he attempted once again to lay the rumor to rest in a tongue-in-cheek manner, by officially declaring that Herobrine had been removed from the game. It is currently unknown whether Herobrine was always a joke, or whether such an ultra-rare NPC did, at one time, exist in the game.
I'm not trying to jump into a delete war here, but Notch is obviously in on the joke, and the topic definitely has notability. And, Herobrine has of course now made it into the changelog, lending further weight to a purpose for this page. TheNthDoctor 17:08, 1 June 2011 (UTC)
I agree, herobrine is a good part of the game because of it being a sort of minecraft mystery and deserves a page,i mean no matter what people will still hear about it, and by deleting wiki pages and forum posts your just making the myth seem even more true because of the bit about posts being deleted on the forum.--Higbey 18:14, 10 June 2011 (UTC)
- FYI, I am still in full favour of this page (that's not a thing that stopped happening), despite being demoted twice for it. and I really hope you guys can come up with a way to make the page eligable, which I believe means showing admins, specifically quatro, that the page is noteworthy and needed.
- (like the fact many do not know who he is until they see it, and the fact that we have a page for lanterns which were only mentioned, as herobrine once was. in fact, it's the same situation, if you think about it. only it has more history. and the fact the polish wiki has one but has a disclaimer etc. etc. etc.) --Kizzycocoa 18:51, 10 June 2011 (UTC)
