 | Wikipedia is not a strategy guide or instruction manual. Wikipedia articles should focus on the games themselves, not on how to play them; they should not contain tips, tricks, or cheat codes. That information is available elsewhere (such as on our sister project, Wikibooks), in printed guides and online, and does not belong in an encyclopedia entry. Please do not add your own hints or opinions of the game. Verifiable content about the history, design, and overall description of the game is welcome. If you have questions about whether specific information should be added, ask here first. |

I would like to add the domain hijacking of mai 2022: https://news.nixinova.com/news/2022/05/hypixel-hacked-server-offline-website-defaced Fabquenneville (talk) 04:10, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. Actualcpscm (talk) 09:50, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
Server location?
editAs far as the official community forums have said, although this would go under WP:NOR as it isn't "fully reliable", would it be a good idea to change the server locations (where they are hosted) to say that they're in Chicago? The only source(s) are from the forums, and both their Privacy Policy and Terms of Service say they're in the United States, but no exact city is mentioned.
If I'm not supposed to be asking such questions, just let me know. I'm still trying to learn, but it will take a heck of a lot of time. MrDragonBoi (talk) 15:00, 14 September 2023 (UTC)
Archival of the Guinness World Record source went wrong?
editWikipedia has archived the "Guinness Application Search" source, despite said source being clearly flagged as "requires free registration" As a result, the archival link merely points to Guinness's *login page* and doesn't help in any way to source the article
(If Wikipedia needs a non-registration source, there was the first-party-so-unreliable announcement from Hypixel's website, but at the time the consensus was that said news wasn't advised as long Guinness was providing a verifiable source. No idea how that works with the need of having *archived* sources) 193.191.221.210 (talk) 10:05, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
- Yes you're right, thanks. I've removed the archive as it serves no purpose as you've described. —Panamitsu (talk) 11:03, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
Better sources required for Guinness Records
edit1) It seems "On October 20, 2017, Hypixel announced that they held four Guinness World Records." requires a better source? Each actual records are sourced in the matrix right below the sentence (and to my knowledge, those sources weren't modified since all that time), but I can't find a better source for the ANNOUNCEMENT on Hypixel's side. I don't think the claim can even be "sourced" in a better way, as if the announcement had coverage, it would retell the fact that Hypixel's announcement was on 20-Oct-2017.
2) Unrelated, but when doing the searches it appears that the records themselves can now be sourced directly from search engines (sadly the page had been made semi-protected at some point after 2019) That means we could add a public source instead of the current registration-only Record Search (which was added as a desesperate measure to have anything better than primary sources)

change the gameplay section to be less vague
Its players can purchase cosmetics, currencies, and ranks to allow them to customize their character on the different game modes that Hypixel offers. Marcellious13 (talk) 16:40, 22 September 2024 (UTC)
