Redstone sidebar
Ever thought of a sidebar for redstone circuit articles? Something like what's on the right? -- Hower64 08:52, 11 January 2013 (UTC)


 * For the circuit articles something like this could be useful, but I'd be reluctant to add another sidebar to pages that already have a Block or Item sidebar (especially for users that don't have the Curse sidebar turned off) -- I'm not sure if you were suggesting those have it too. If it's going to be primarily for circuit pages, I'd put that list at the top. And I wouldn't just list blocks with the word redstone in their name, I'd list all redstone components (maybe just as icons?).
 * I had been thinking of creating a Projects/Redstone to act as a space to discuss issues that cross multiple pages and was wondering if it would make sense to create a "This article falls within the scope of the Redstone project" message box, but this could be more useful. Maybe this on circuit pages (from a template for consolidated updating?), and a small message box on block and item pages?
 * ... Why ... is the icon for redstone circuits ... green? oO

 * We could have a navbox for block and item pages and use the sidebar for everything else. Change both as much as you see fit; I just threw in a bunch of redstone related articles in no particular order. As for the circuitry icon...if you think you have a better icon you can replace it. -- Hower64 00:20, 12 January 2013 (UTC)
 * So do you think it should be implemented now...? -- Hower64 02:15, 15 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Sorry if I haven't been jumping on this. I've been holding off tackling the other circuit pages right now because I wanted to finish my Schematic sprites and templates, and many of the circuits will need re-testing after 1.5.
 * All of the redstone component pages already have a linkbox at the bottom (Blocks), with all the redstone components already grouped in one place, so I don't think it's necessary on those pages (and they all have a link to Redstone Circuits on the left). How about something small like this for the top-right of the circuit pages? It only lists the primary circuit articles (and BUDs, for now -- we'll see what 1.5 does to them), using the same terms I've finalized on in the main article (which I hope to propagate to the other articles eventually), and a link to the redstone tutorials. Call it Redstone navbox?

 * Both templates were made comprehensive because I figured a central location for all articles redstone would be useful for navigation and exposing the articles which are not linked to very often and might be overlooked by readers. The sidebar was intended to be large and prominent, since circuit articles don't have infoboxes taking up the right margin and because it makes all the circuit articles look nice and organised. As for the navbox, although Blocks is only missing redstone dust, it doesn't have the circuitry pages listed and is so massive and general, a redstone navbox seemed useful as well. -- Hower64 07:13, 15 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Including the (currently seven) 1.5 additions, there's now over two dozen redstone component blocks. Circuit pages don't have info boxes, but they do tend to have very short introductions and then dive right into image (and table)-intensive discussions, and a tall navbox could start to push those around (with all the components, it would be twice as tall as the example on the right). So if we're going to include all the components, I think a navbox at the bottom of the article would be better (and consistent with the intention for block articles):

 * Here's an exhaustive version of the vertical form, as about as compact as it can get:
 * &mdash;Munin295 &middot; Grid_Book_and_Quill.png Grid_Stone_Pickaxe.png &middot; 21:12, 15 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Makes sense. I think we should implement your navbox then. -- Hower64 02:14, 16 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Okay, I've created Redstone navbox (with 1.5 components commented out for the time being). For now, I've just added it to the circuit pages. Maybe it'll get some comments from others before it's added to lots of other pages. (That's the intention, right? Add the navbox to all pages it links to?)
 * &mdash;Munin295 &middot; Grid_Book_and_Quill.png Grid_Stone_Pickaxe.png &middot; 03:03, 16 January 2013 (UTC)


 * To keep consistency, it would make more sense to call it Redstone. -- Hower64 03:09, 16 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Sounds good. Moved. &mdash;Munin295 &middot; Grid_Book_and_Quill.png Grid_Stone_Pickaxe.png &middot; 03:33, 16 January 2013 (UTC)

I'm all for adding that to every page it's linked to, for consistency with this type of nav template, but due to it's small size, I suggest adding it on top of both the block and item templates, depending on which one or both is on that page. Previewing the template on the repeater page, for instance, the block and item templates sort of hide the redstone template at the bottom when I originally was aiming for template alpha sort. 04:03, 16 January 2013 (UTC)

Are you a redstone pro?
Just wondering... you have redstone all over your talk page. - Creepers explode, don&#39;tcha know? 18:47, 22 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Welcome back! : )
 * Nope, I'm just interested in it. I have a pretty good understanding of how redstone works, but I don't have the time (or the patience) to develop complicated builds (well, I do a few), so for now I'm primarily working on improving its documentation.
 * Right now I'm working on a new sprite template that will allow users to create circuit (and, hopefully, mechanism) schematics without having to upload images. Then I plan to tackle the rest of the redstone circuit articles.

 * Oh. I was thinking about asking you later if you could help with my project, which I haven't got up yet. - Creepers explode, don&#39;tcha know? 20:36, 22 January 2013 (UTC)


 * I'd be happy to try to answer questions, so feel free to ask anything. If I can't help you, you might try the forums.
 * &mdash;Munin295 &middot; Grid_Book_and_Quill.png Grid_Stone_Pickaxe.png &middot; 21:44, 22 January 2013 (UTC)


 * You're awesome. I'll let you know if something comes up, cuz I got my prob fixed. (Silly repeater!) - Creepers explode, don&#39;tcha know? 22:18, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

thanks
thanks for your help. can you check if i did it right please http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Tutorials/Furniture#Water_Spigot i hope to add more soon if i can. Cody 1 9 9 3 03:21, 24 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Hi again. Okay : )
 * Good job, you took the first step which can be scary! Here's some ways to improve it:
 * Your instructions don't mention the chiseled stone block on top of the cobblestone wall. I'd add that so your instructions match your illustrations.
 * The image link has some brackets and tags which shouldn't be visible.
 * The method I showed you earlier was for images uploaded to the wiki server. For images hosted on another server (like imgur), the easiest thing to do is to just write out the link without brackets or anything, and the wiki will convert that to a link (with a funny arrow showing that it's an external link), like this: http://i.imgur.com/a7lKEKd.png
 * If you want, you can give the link a title by putting the link and the title in single brackets, like this:  turns into Water Spigot
 * Don't sign article contributions, only talk posts. Some articles have hundreds of edits and we wouldn't want usernames attached to every edit. But your username is recorded in the article's history (link at the top of the page), so your contribution is remembered that way.
 * You can choose to try those improvements, or you can leave it and maybe someone else will come along someday and add to it. Yay, wikis!
 * P.S. I moved this down into its own topic. When you want to start a new topic on a talk page, use the Add Topic tab at the top of the page.

 * -Done-
 * thanks for your help


 * No prob!

redstone block
Why did you remove my contribution in the redstone block article? this IS a bug and i was not submitting it to the wiki to get attention. as you could clearly see in my photo, NO pistons were extended, and that deems your primary argument invalid. please don't take others things down for no good reason, im just here to help, not to be removed.


 * Check your talk page. I explained it there.
 * tl;dr: bugs should be submitted to mojang.atlassian.net, not to the wiki.
