Official Minecraft Wiki application for Android?
Hello ! I often use Wiki in my smartphone with Android. Unfortunately, the site on Android have many mistakes (eg. text is only at left side, images doesn't load or they disappear). It's really frustrating. So I have idea - application for Android wich can be downloaded from Google Play. But someone else must make it because I don't have enough time to make this project. How about you? Please write what are you thinking about that. Sorry for my English. --Mccv13 (talk) 14:42, 2 January 2014 (UTC)


 * YES! and IOS app too, but it could be an offical Gamepedia android app, so every game in gamepedia has one. --- Tonkku107 Grass.png(User Page|Talk)Grass.png 14:45, 2 January 2014 (UTC)


 * See Talk:Minecraft Wiki. An wiki app isn't practical, it is a far better use of resources to improve the mobile site. Post screenshots of things that are broken or need improvement. –Matt ᐸ Talk Contribs ⎜ 14:49, 2 January 2014 (UTC)


 * I just use the desktop site instead of the mobile one on my Android.

Deleting images
Hiya, infrequent wiki-editor here. Apologies if this question has been asked before, or if this is the wrong place to ask it, but I'd like to know: If I think there's a reason for an image uploaded to the wiki to be deleted, what should I do? A Moon (talk) 09:52, 7 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Add  to the file's description page. You can also comment on its talk page, if you're less certain it needs to be deleted or feel more explanation would be helpful. -- Orthotopetalk 10:00, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

Greek Minecraft Wiki
There are quite a few pages with /el subpages, so I would like to propose a Greek translation of this wiki. I have contacted Curse staff, and the staff member that replied says to ask the community. Opinions?  Meeples10 t ~ c 23:28, 16 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Translation projects generally only get their own wiki when they are reasonably complete and active. There are currently only 25 pages in Category:Greek translation, most of which haven't been worked on for at least six months. At this point, it isn't ready for its own wiki; it needs to have active translators, and to have a lot more well-translated pages. (Note that running pages through Google Translate does not count as a good translation; a fluent human editor needs to be involved.) -- Orthotopetalk 09:26, 17 January 2014 (UTC)


 * If I was to translate much more pages into Greek, would that be worthy of creating a new wiki? If I create a wiki, I edit it frequently, so it would be no problem to have at least half as many pages as the English wiki in maybe a day. About Google Translate: I do not use it. I may use it for a word I can't remember (single words usually translate more accurately than phrases or sentences), but that's about all. I can change the input of my keyboard so that it functions like a Greek keyboard (so I can type at normal speed and not have to go back and forth between the "Special Characters" tab of the toolbar and the edit window).  Meeples10 t ~ c 10:52, 17 January 2014 (UTC)


 * First off, we don't vote, we discuss. Secondly, Minecraft Wiki/el needs to have all the primary links translated before a subdomain will be created. And I mean, the pages that the links point to need to be fully translated. As it stands, most of those links point to the English pages. That is not resolving the links. If the Greek community wishes to have a subdomain, they need to get active in translating. I also won't create a subdomain if there is only one person working on it, because eventually, you will get burned out and stop, and we will end up with a dead wiki. -- Wynthyst  [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]]  talk  13:42, 17 January 2014 (UTC)

Minecraft stopped working
Hello, my minecraft on the computer has stopped working since trying to set up my own server. I am not sure if this is due to changing some of the settings on my computer. Can you please help? Thanks. Will --Willmartian59 (talk) 15:46, 19 January 2014 (UTC)


 * What settings did you change? If it/they had to do with Java, that is probably the problem.  Meeples10 t ~ c 20:26, 19 January 2014 (UTC)

Use of pronouns for player and Steve
I'm considering going through the pages and changing uses of "he" and "he/she" to "They" (I've already fixed the ocelot and player pages). After all, the player could be of a gender that doesnt use he or she pronouns, or simply doesnt use either. They is a catchall pronoun and commonly used as a singular gender-neutral pronoun. I think this would be a good idea so everyone is included; especially on articles which just refer to the player as "he". The wiki is intended for everyone, not just for people who are in the gender binary. Also, Steve was confirmed to be agender, so they shouldn't be referred to by male pronouns.


 * Notch himself, who named Steve (originally "Steve?") said that Steve is genderless. "They" or "it" would be the best pronoun to use in my opinion.  Meeples10 t ~ c 01:09, 23 January 2014 (UTC)


 * The style guide recommends using the Player. –Matt ᐸ Talk Contribs ⎜ 01:28, 23 January 2014 (UTC)

Animated texture
How can I turn an animated texture into a .gif? -- tonkku107 « Talk Contribs » 18:31, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

Armor Page Split
First suggested by admin Majr April last year, he suggested that the Armor page should be split up into 5 pages - 1 for each armour part, and one for a basic overview of armour/properties etc. The individual armour parts (i.e. Helmet, Chestplate, Leggings, Boots will detail information specific to those items, e.g. crafting recipe, statistics, etc. Also, the armor page is very long, as you can tell by the massive info box on the side. Splitting it should allow the page to load faster for all devices.

I will collate these pages on my user page, then transfer it over if there is enough support. Please comment below whether you support this change. –Goandgoo ᐸ Talk Contribs Edit count 09:18, 2 February 2014 (UTC)


 * I think it makes sense to move item info box(es), crafting recipes, item history, etc. to item-specific articles, but much of the rest of the info is useful to have in a compare-against-each-other format, so I wouldn't want to see that split up (they might be reproduced on individual pages, but should also be on the armor page). &mdash;munin &middot; Grid_Book_and_Quill.png Grid_Stone_Pickaxe.png &middot; 11:14, 2 February 2014 (UTC)


 * I would actually suggest a sixth page as well, for "Armor mechanics". The basic armor point and durability tables would be on the main Armor page, while the detailed analysis, formulas, and enchantment information, would be on the "mechanics" page.  Also, I'd suggest keeping the grand list of recipes on Armor, but make it default-collapsed (and perhaps loadfiled). --MentalMouse42 (talk) 14:19, 2 February 2014 (UTC)


 * It seems like no-one is objecting to creating separate pages for each of the armor types, so I will go ahead with doing that. However, I am unsure how much material should be left on the Armor page, and whether an Armor mechanics page is a good idea. –Goandgoo ᐸ Talk Contribs Edit count 07:00, 4 February 2014 (UTC)

PS3 acknowledgement under Upcoming Features
I know this may be trivial but it would be nice if under upcoming feature the PS3 version would be linked as it should even if it is a replica of the Xbox 360 version.

Random page
I think there should be a random page option for the wiki. All the other wikis have one and I enjoy randomly finding pages.


 * Special:Random. –Matt ᐸ Talk Contribs ⎜ 16:52, 10 February 2014 (UTC)

Merging Cook-able Food Articles
I noticed the fish article was all merged, including Cooked Fish, and I would suggest the same with chicken, beef, pork, and potatos. When looking over raw and cooked steak, I noticed the articles had basically the same information, except each one had it's own hunger information and data value. --KnightMiner (talk 15:16, 15 February 2014 (UTC)
 * My personal opinion is that as many items should have their own pages to avoid confusion. --▶ ZlingerZZ ◀ ( talk 14:05, 21 February 2014 (UTC)

blurry minetips
Here on my Mac, running Chrome 32, the Minecraft style tooltips (minetips) have a blurry font, unlike the reference image. This is pretty annoying, does anyone know why this happens? —F‌enhl 11:06, 19 February 2014 (UTC)


 * I don't know about Mac, but on Windows if you use DirectWrite it seems to apply a blur to all text. This looks fine for normal font where sub-pixels make the font look smoother and easier to read, but not for font where the pixels line up exactly. This doesn't happen on any Linux distribution I've used, whatever font rendering used looks identical to DirectWrite's superb quality, but doesn't unnecessarily blur things.
 * Until browsers add a way to specify which font rendering to use, the only way to fix it on Windows is to go back to GDI (disabling hardware acceleration seems the easiest way), which then makes all font not so smooth. –Matt ᐸ Talk Contribs ⎜ 12:19, 19 February 2014 (UTC)

Finding Translation Projects
I've realized that most Translation Projects doesn't have that many active users. I'm in the Swedish Translation project and it took me ages after ive created my wiki account to discover the Translation Project. I think that if there was an easier way than just randomly finding them, the translation projects would have more recruits. Best Regards ▶ ZlingerZZ ◀ ( talk 14:15, 21 February 2014 (UTC)


 * Hello, I have just started in the Norwegian translation project and I cant find any project leader. In fact very little have been done in several years. The users seem inactive too.

I guess I then may decide by myself how to translate words that can't be translated directly? And edit the other articles to fit to the style I use on my articles. And change layouts that I think I can do better. I mean, if it isn't anyone there to ask if my edits are okay, and if I do what I can to make it look more tidy, then I can just go on? :) Powerminerdude (talk) 14:13, 24 March 2014 (UTC)


 * By the way, most of the articles that are done, have grammar with frustrating low quality, and are completely outdated. It looks like it will be a one-man-project for a while, and that I should clean up from scratch even before I start translate more myself. I had a sneak peak on the Swedish projects, and there it was some equally poorly translated swedish. ( I cant write swedish very good but its very similar to norwegian and Danish) Alas :P Powerminerdude (talk) 12:07, 25 March 2014 (UTC)

¨
 * Yeah I've also seen that the translation projects arent that active at all, and also most of them are outdated and poorly translated. And that I think is caused by just translating the english version instead of freely writing and get information from the english Minecraft Wiki. Also, I don't really enjoy translating the articles themselves, I like translating templates more. But again if we could find a good way to recruit people to the Translation Projects they would probably be more active and more users can fix grammar-issues and keep the articles up-to-date. ▶ ZlingerZZ ◀ ( talk 08:12, 14 April 2014 (UTC)

No Captcha

 * In general, Curse wikis allow editing by anonymous (unregistered) users. Captchas are used in some situations, but have a tendency to be glitchy and not work well for some users.

Annoying spam filter blocks my site
I tried adding my map reader program to Programs_and_editors/Specialized_programs, but the edit failed because your spam filter blocked my url http://mapreader.at [NOT SPAM] space.co.uk/. This makes no sense, there's nothing wrong with my page and it is not spam. In fact, I asked more than 6 months ago on the Talk page if I could just add my program. Since nobody replied all that time, I just went ahead and added it anyway. Also, nowhere in the progress was I ever told that some web hosts were blocked. The url posted fine in the description of the accompanying image, and there were no warnings or errors on 'Preview'ing my edit. Anyway, someone, please add the url (remove the " [NOT SPAM] " message, it wouldn't even let me ask this question), it doesn't make sense for an online tool to not have a url associated with it, thank you. And someone, PLEASE kick the spam filter very hard, it is stupid. DaedalusYoung (talk) 16:36, 31 May 2014 (UTC)


 * I don't see a mention of this in the filter logs. It's probably an automatic restriction based on the number of edits you've made; once you're in the autoconfirmed user group, this should no longer be a problem. -- Orthotopetalk 20:00, 31 May 2014 (UTC)


 * Spamfilter.png's not the error I'm getting, see attached image. It clearly says that url triggered the spam filter. If it was based on the number of edits, then the error message is wrong. Also, that would mean that, if finally I'd get my url on that page, every time someone tries to edit the page, the spam filter will find the offending link and stop the user from posting, right? DaedalusYoung (talk) 16:17, 1 June 2014 (UTC)


 * Should be fixed now; sorry about the inconvenience. -- Orthotopetalk 01:11, 2 June 2014 (UTC)

Transferring content from wiki.vg
We have been contacted by the people from wiki.vg about transferring their content to here. Their wiki hosts information about minecraft development, which could augment the development information we already have.

We will also need to decide where to put the content. It has been suggested to put it in a Development: namespace, however I'm always wary of namespaces being used simply as a category, so we should decide if there is value in having this namespace. For instance: could there be a lot of naming collisions between development related pages, and other types of pages; and is there enough of a separation between development related content and other content to justify a namespace?

Please leave your comments below. If transferring the content is decided to be favourable, it will be imported by their admin. –Matt ᐸ Talk Contribs ⎜ 02:16, 4 June 2014 (UTC)


 * Interesting, looks like a lot of it is documenting the network protocol, while we have more on file structures. Might be useful for developers to have all the documentation in one wiki. Looking at wiki.vg/Special:AllPages, it doesn't look like there'd be many collisions with existing pages. If it's really needed for naming disambiguation, we could use a pseudo-namespace like we do with tutorials. -- Orthotopetalk 02:42, 4 June 2014 (UTC)


 * Some interesting stuff there. And I agree with Orthotope that subpages of Development might be a good place for them, or use development as a hub article linking to the various ones. Would just the information be imported or the entire wiki (users, edit history, ect.)? -- KnightMiner Grid_Iron_Pickaxe.png 15:06, 4 June 2014 (UTC)

Can no longer log in / account does not exist?
I used to be LB, then LB725C when merged with Curse, and then via Curse I changed my account to LB_ with an underscore at the end. My 30 days of being logged in expired and now I cannot log in again, and it seems my account doesn't exist because it tries to ignore the underscore. When I click on my username via one of my contributions (e.g. this one) it says that user is not registered. I have no idea what I should do, can anyone help me? I can still log into Curse just fine. 99.164.78.31 21:39, 12 July 2014 (UTC)
 * OK, so when I log in with my email address, it says the supplied username is invalid. I am pretty sure it has to do with the underscore because all the links initially have the underscore but it gets stripped when the page loads. Still no idea what I should do. 99.164.78.31 21:48, 12 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Yeah, the underscore could be the problem. I'd try contacting Game widow, see if someone at Curse can get your account straightened out. -- Orthotopetalk 22:29, 12 July 2014 (UTC)

 * I've issued LB_ a global rename credit for now. The Gamepedia platform doesn't support leading or trailing underscores for the time being, so you'll need to choose something without either of those. We'll be looking into putting a block in place so that people don't experience this issue inadvertently with renames in the future! Sorry for the trouble.

I think we must have a discussion about these filters
Firstly,there is a filter which disallows new users to remove sections.But there are lots of reasons to remove a section.(For example,Removing spam/nonsense,etc.) Secondly,new users may not add external links.I saw a discussion at Minecraft_Wiki:Admin_noticeboard.I disagree because useful links is much,much more common then spam.Thanks.Please share your thoughts below.Crep987 (talk) 07:04, 17 July 2014 (UTC)


 * The filters mostly prevent nonsense sections from being added, and you only need to have 10 edits to not be considered a "new" user, so most editors will have no problem removing the small amount of vandalism that gets though. Anyone can add external links, only spam links and URL shorteners are on the blacklist. –Matt ᐸ Talk Contribs ⎜ 07:20, 17 July 2014 (UTC)

Minecraft Splash Messages
I started up Minecraft and saw the splash message "Oh man!" and decided to look up what it may be a reference to. Turns out on the Minecraft wiki page it doesn't have anything linked to it, nor does the splash message "Octagonal!". I just want to make a quick suggestion that those may be a reference to the episode on sesame street when jack black taught the shape octagon, or it could just be referencing the meme. Change the wiki page if you believe this is true.

There's also another splash message I found on the wiki page, "Mmmph, mmph!" needs to be given a description, it's from Team Fortress 2, there is a character named the Pyro who can only mumble because of his suit.

New texture for blue bars and boxes?
Hi! The german wiki community discussed a new style for the main page and some templates. The idea is to replace all blue bars with the dirt-texture of Minecraft. It would fit better to the new wiki logo and the top bar. For a draft please visit this page: http://minecraft-de.gamepedia.com/Benutzer:Oliver_Scholz/Minecraft_Wiki

To match this new style we would change the blue boxes, too (For example the one at the community portal). You can see a example here:http://minecraft-de.gamepedia.com/Diskussion:Minecraft_Wiki#Video_auf_der_Startseite (You have to scroll down a little bit). What do you think? --.zip de.MinecraftWiki-Admin Diskussion 11:42, 30 July 2014 (UTC)


 * On the light gray background of the main page, it looks much too dark. On the blue content background it's not as bad, but I still don't think it looks very good. –Majr ᐸ Talk Contribs ⎜ 13:46, 30 July 2014 (UTC)


 * I like the new style. In my opinion, the blue boxes look a bit old-fashioned and does not fit so well with the rest of the wiki as the new boxes. The main page indeed looks a bit dark, but I do not find this bad. I think it is a nice contrast between the title and the content. --Elike98 talk 14:19, 11 August 2014 (UTC)

Updating All 'Computer Versions' Pages To Match 1.8 Format
The current way version history works is a mess. For the 1.8 snapshots it works great, but trying to go back to the 1.7pre snapshots and earlier leads to a mess of confusing pages, with inconsistent navigation and duplicate / inaccurate information. All snapshots and releases since Minecraft 1.0, at the latest, should have their own pages, with the same navagation as in the 1.8 snapshots. Ideally, the old unified 'version history' page should go away completely. For versions released before 1.0, it gets trickier, but at the very least there should be consistent navigation between each consecutive release.

Tinaun (talk) 05:20, 31 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Yes, the original plan was to use 1.8 as the testing group, but then someone started making pages for the new 1.7 versions that came out while 1.8 was being developed and didn't even convert the existing 1.7 versions, making a confusing mess for that set of versions. Since 1.8 is taking so long we really should just start converting the old pages, there doesn't seem to be any issues with the new format, aside from a few people wanting all the snapshots on a single page, which is impractical for 1.8, but not so for versions with only a few snapshots, so I'm going to make a way to have it as an option. –Majr ᐸ <small style=display:inline-block;line-height:9px;vertical-align:-3px>Talk Contribs ⎜ 05:37, 31 July 2014 (UTC)
