Error 503

The Chinese Wiki seems to be getting a lot of "Error 503 Service Unavailable" recently, is there anyway you can solve this problem? —Powup333 ZH Admin 14:12, 10 June 2012 (UTC)

The Chinese Wiki has been under attack by many scrapers (means you guys are doing a good job), unfortunately it impacts the performance of the servers. We also had a minor network hardware problem late friday, which has left some residual problems that will be addressed on Monday. -- Wynthyst User Wynthyst sig icon talk 00:29, 11 June 2012 (UTC)

Adding link to side bar

Wynthyst, can you add the Minecraft Wiki:Welcome page and the Frequently Asked Questions page to the links in the sidebar? This may be more helpful for new users who might not see the box at the bottom of the main page. Thanks - Asterick6 (talk) 20:37, 17 June 2012 (UTC)

There's already a link to Help:Contents which has links to both those pages in it. ultradude25 (T|C) at 20:54, 17 June 2012 (UTC)

Redirect from ru-section

Hello, Wynthyst, there is strange problem on Russian section: wiki tryes to redirect any requests to minecraftforum.net, so http://ru.minecraftwiki.net/Special:RecentChanges turns into http://www.minecraftforum.net/Special:RecentChanges (certainly, page shows forum content). However, the wiki content occasionally becomes available, but with wrong theme. We are looking for answer and fix to this issue, if you can help. Norrius - Ru Admin 20:56, 2 July 2012 (UTC)

Please link me where this is happening, I don't really understand. -- Wynthyst User Wynthyst sig icon talk 22:39, 2 July 2012 (UTC)
Now it seems to be ok. Too bad I can't explain that. And I can't give you a link, it was just something like change of URI then I tried to open page on wiki. Redirect from ru.minecraftwiki.net to minecraftforum.net (I've checked other language sections and found nothing unusial). Anyway, since this trouble spontaneously disappeeared, the question may be considered closed. Norrius - Ru Admin 23:13, 2 July 2012 (UTC)
Our tech team is doing some hardware upgrades and reconfigs. It may have caused some temporary anomalies. I always want to know about these things, so keep reporting them if they occur. I'm glad it resolved itself :D -- Wynthyst User Wynthyst sig icon talk 00:08, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
Unfortunately, the problem reappeared. Most of the pages are available, but some pages (Main page, Recent Changes) still redirect to minecraftforum.net HEKP0H - ru.Wiki Admin 06:29, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
It appears to be fine now. I will let the guys know it's still an issue. -- Wynthyst User Wynthyst sig icon talk 13:57, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

Extensions request

Could you ask the technical team to install in the Russian wiki two extensions already installed in the English wiki (Loops and OggHandler)? HEKP0H - ru.Wiki Admin 08:25, 10 July 2012 (UTC)

Minecraft Forum

Minecraft forum won't let me create an account when I've followed all the account making rules!

Idea help

I just came across the idea of removing any outdated posts on talk pages, i.e. posts about bugs that are already fixed, or posts that dont have a comment from, lets say, a year ago at least. It would reduce lag and space usage for 3-ds' or slow and old computers. MaryTheTiger 20:22, 16 July 2012 (UTC)

Outdated talk page posts can be archived, but should not just be removed. -- Wynthyst User Wynthyst sig icon talk 20:24, 16 July 2012 (UTC)

Filters request

Could you import filters 3—18 from English wiki to Russian wiki? P. S. Thank you for your help with extensions. HEKP0H - ru.Wiki Admin 20:01, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

Missing article on Hungarian Wiki

Hi, I'm Hungarian Wiki admin Icguy. I have a problem, there's the Crafting page on the Hungarian wiki (link), which disappeared without a trace. When clicking on the link an error message shows up saying (rough translation):

"The page "Crafting" could not be found in the database. In most cases the reason is that you clicked on a link that points to a page that has been deleted. If not so, it's possible that you've found a bug in the software. Plesae notify the admins by giving them the URL."

Now there's no sign in the Recent Changes that it has been deleted. Could you take a look at it? Many thanks!

Icguy 11:51, 28 July 2012 (UTC)

Fixed. -- Wynthyst User Wynthyst sig icon talk 11:53, 28 July 2012 (UTC)
Thanks :) Icguy 11:48, 29 July 2012 (UTC)

Broken file

I found the file and was able to delete it. It was File:Mcmapmapped.jpg and would break any page that tried to show a thumbnail of it (the full image worked fine), including special pages such as Special:NewFiles and Special:FileList and its own file page.

I can only guess that the reason it broke everything was because of how large it was (6,040px × 4,776px, 2.6MB). Is there a way to block images that are over a certain dimension from being uploaded? (Or at least disable thumbnailing for them.) ultradude25 (T|C) at 07:38, 29 July 2012 (UTC)

I'll ask Tim. -- Wynthyst User Wynthyst sig icon talk 15:14, 29 July 2012 (UTC)

Some questions (pl.MCWiki)

Hi! Last month I wrote an email to Donovan Duncan, but he not answered. He is on holidays? Can you tell him to check messages from me? Thanks in advance! Lewandowskipl.Wiki Admin talk 13:15, 4 August 2012 (UTC)

Any inquiries about the wikis should be forwarded to me. -- Wynthyst User Wynthyst sig icon talk 10:40, 9 August 2012 (UTC)

Suggestion on fixing corruption in crafting page

I think the main issue with the page is the shear amount of animated sections. Anything that uses wood, wooden planks or is a wood product has to have 4 animations EACH. Wool cycles through a whopping 16 different colors whenever it shows up. The amount of scripts would be reduced to a fraction of what its currently using if we just use the standard wood color for anything involving wood and just have a small note on the page mentioning the other variations. The same could be done for beds or paintings with wool. --Moxxy 05:50, 9 August 2012 (UTC)

Mods corrupts just as much, and doesn't have any grid templates at all. The animations are actually really simple, it's just layered images and the JavaScript cycles their visibility (and since JS is client-side, no affect on the server).
The only complicated template mods has is the version (and subsequently verlink) template, both of which are used on many pages (and those pages don't seem to have corruption issues). ultradude25 (T|C) at 06:13, 9 August 2012 (UTC)
A far more likely possibility in my mind is the number of revisions: Mods has over 4000 revisions in its history. Of course, this doesn't explain why other pages with lots of revisions don't seem to get corrupted in a similar fashion... ディノ千?!? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 07:01, 9 August 2012 (UTC)
Talk:Crafting#Splitting_this_into_smaller_pieces Let's keep the discussions on the normal talk pages rather than buried on mine. -- Wynthyst User Wynthyst sig icon talk 10:43, 9 August 2012 (UTC)
Well Talk:Known bugs/Version 1.3.1 just corrupted, it hasn't got many revisions or templates, so it seems to be completely random... :/ ultradude25 (T|C) at 00:38, 11 August 2012 (UTC)

Question about HTMLTidy

Is it planned to enable HTMLTidy in the Russian wiki? HEKP0H - ru.Wiki Admin 02:28, 10 August 2012 (UTC)

Only if you ask for it. -- Wynthyst User Wynthyst sig icon talk 03:45, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
In this case, please enable it, because otherwise it is impossible to implement many improvements in the templates. HEKP0H - ru.Wiki Admin 13:59, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
Thank you for your help. HEKP0H - ru.Wiki Admin 14:55, 11 August 2012 (UTC)

My villagers have no head!!!! D:

What the hell is this??? I build some houses and spawned some villagers and they have no heads D: ist so ugly, have anyone had this to? Can i fix this?

New subdomain

Hi, i'm the lead italian translator of the Minecraft Wiki and i want to ask you how many pages we translate for obtain a new subdomain like "it.minecraftwiki.net" ?

--Raffox97 20:09, 11 August 2012 (UTC)

You need to translate all the primary pages that are linked on Minecraft Wiki/it, not just have the inks point to the English pages. -- Wynthyst User Wynthyst sig icon talk 20:35, 11 August 2012 (UTC)
So, if i translate all the pages linked in Minecraft Wiki/it you gave to the minecraft italian community the subdomain "it.minecraftwiki.net" right?
PS: Because i'm the leader of the italian translator community of the minecraft wiki, when the subdomain is created can you insert me as "it.Wiki Founder/Admin"?

--Raffox97 08:08, 13 August 2012 (UTC)

I will ask the Italian community who they want as their community admin. But yes, we need at least the pages linked directly to the main page to be translated before you get a subdomain. -- Wynthyst User Wynthyst sig icon talk 11:38, 13 August 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for the information. I have an advice for you, unfortunately the minecraftwiki italian community isn't very big and it isn't very active (Only me and other 2/3 members). I finish to translate the first possible to have the new subdomain :) --Raffox97 12:48, 13 August 2012 (UTC)

Help (Spanish wiki)

Hello, Wynthyst.

I recently found some spam, spam-bot and trolls on Spanish wiki. We need an administrator or someone with power to keep safe the articles, block spammers and update the main page.

I'm sorry for disturbing you with this, but is important.


Ps: And sorry for my english level, I'm Spanish haha

Thanks. Kingpowl~ 21:08, 11 August 2012 (UTC)

Are you volunteering? -- Wynthyst User Wynthyst sig icon talk 11:38, 13 August 2012 (UTC)
Yes I am. Just now I'm translating the 1.3.1 info. Kingpowl~ 12:47, 13 August 2012 (UTC)
Granted. -- Wynthyst User Wynthyst sig icon talk 14:52, 13 August 2012 (UTC)
Oh, thank you very much! This helps me a lot. I'll do my best to improve the wiki. Kingpowl~ 15:16, 13 August 2012 (UTC)

Template for works in progress

Hello, Wynthyst. I want to make the page oak planks, but i can't find a template for labeling a work in progress. Can you help me? Creepergoboom64 17:46, 14 August 2012 (UTC)Creepergoboom64

First off, I don't believe a page specific to "Oak planks" is necessary, since it's covered in Wood_planks. Second, We don't use a WIP template, just {{stub}}. -- Wynthyst User Wynthyst sig icon talk 17:53, 14 August 2012 (UTC)
Oh, Thank you. I'm new here, so i'm sorry for bothering you. It's just that i want to help, but i don't speak anything besides Engish. Oak planks was in the wanted pages. Creepergoboom64 18:01, 14 August 2012 (UTC)Creepergoboom64
Well, please don't let me discourage you! And questions here are never a bother! You might want to check out the Community portal and see if there are other things listed under Wanted pages that might be of interest to you. -- Wynthyst User Wynthyst sig icon talk 18:58, 14 August 2012 (UTC)
By the way,if it's not needed, why not remove it? I mean, the same thing could happen all over again. EDIT: Remove Oak planks from the wanted page, i mean. Creepergoboom64 00:23, 15 August 2012 (UTC)Creepergoboom64
If you're talking about the special page, it's automatically generated by the software (based on links to non-existent pages). Just because a page is there, doesn't mean we actually want it; someone (or a template) has just gone and linked to something that doesn't exist. In this case, that page should redirect to the wooden planks page. ultradude25 (T|C) at 00:31, 15 August 2012 (UTC)

Hey, not a bad idea, ultradude25! EDIT: And Wynthyst, all i see is stuff labeled cz and it.Creepergoboom64 01:04, 15 August 2012 (UTC)Creepergoboom64

Try Minecraft_Wiki:Community_portal#Wanted_pages. -- Wynthyst User Wynthyst sig icon talk 01:11, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
The /cz, /it, etc. suffixes indicate pages that are part of in-progress translation projects (Czech and Italian, in these cases). There's no easy way to filter them out of the list, unfortunately. -- Orthotope 02:11, 15 August 2012 (UTC)

Oh. I see only two fixes for this problem. One: I wait. Two: I learn italian, or Czech. Creepergoboom64 10:30, 15 August 2012 (UTC)Creepergoboom64
