Thanks and...
I just wanted to say that was a nice job you did on Pocket Edition. (I did a minor fix, where you said in the about template that it was for mobile versions—not all the platforms were mobile.) As busy as MoJira is, I'm surprised you can find the time to help us out, and I appreciate it.

I also wanted to mention that after our discussion on the talk page the other day Helen Angel stopped in to say Microsoft isn't very thrilled with that name, either. You might want to review her comment and also participate in the discussion it has revived on Minecraft Wiki Talk:Projects/Renaming. Helen's comment is in the middle (misplaced and easily overlooked); newer comments are at the end. --– Auldrick (talk &middot; contribs) 23:32, 3 October 2017 (UTC)

Correction: Helen commented on the talk page here about "Legacy Console Edition" and on the project talk page about "Bedrock Edition". --– Auldrick (talk &middot; contribs) 23:34, 3 October 2017 (UTC)


 * Thanks! I'm glad to help make the Bedrock/Pocket/etc. pages less confusing. I was actually the reason for Helen posting that there. I wanted some official source so I could start making some of the changes I wanted to make (like changing the Pocket Edition page to be more focused on Pocket Edition and moving Apple TV from an "upcoming" Bedrock platform to a current one, since Bedrock is a retroactively-applied name like Legacy Console... and also adding 4J Studios to the Bedrock dev team list), and so I asked Helen to post something on the wiki confirming those things. :P Now, if only Apple TV could be listed under Bedrock on the homepage... I'll post something on the main page's talk page asking for that to be changed.


 * Actually, the main page is a special case. To make changes to it, you make them to Minecraft Wiki/editcopy, which a bureaucrat will then review before merging them to the public main page.
 * Let me just caution you on how you promote your agenda. On a project this size where so many changes have to be coordinated it really requires team cooperation and consensus. Here you've made it sound like you're trying to do a flank run and crush us between you and Helen. I don't think you want to create that impression. If the wiki editors get the idea you're pulling tactical tricks and trying to strong-arm us, they'll shut you down in a second. You can make good arguments on your own, so use them. Well-reasoned arguments will go much farther than pressure from Microsoft. It's Curse's wiki, after all, not Microsoft's (although admittedly, Mojang's/Microsoft's generosity with IP assets is extremely valuable to us). Just my opinion.--– Auldrick (talk &middot; contribs) 01:24, 4 October 2017 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the cautioning...


 * First, I just want to clarify the MoJIRA moderation stuff is volunteer-only... I don't get paid to do it, and I don't work for Mojang/Microsoft or anything like that. I don't mean to act as a Microsoft spokesperson or anything like that, nor do I have the incentive to do such a thing.


 * Second, and most importantly, I can assure you that I don't want to force any sort of personal agenda on anyone on the wiki, nor appear to be doing so. I just wanted to fix some info I thought was incorrect and thought it would be convenient to get an official reference... I didn't intend for any sort of forced "Minecraft: Bedrock Edition" -> "Minecraft (Bedrock)" change or anything like that... personally, I don't even care either way regarding that issue. I'm really sorry if I gave the wrong impression, and I'll try not to make that mistake again in the future. Again, thank you for the warning. I had no idea that my actions could be seen that way, and I really don't want to cause any trouble here on the wiki. I really appreciate the job that all you folks do, and wouldn't want to do anything wrong to you. SuperGeniusZeb (talk) 01:49, 4 October 2017 (UTC)
