Talk:Classic server protocol

I don't understand the reasoning for wanting to delete this page.

The information on this page is accurate and very useful, for anyone programming anything for minecraft classic, such as clients, bots, servers.

It describes the protocol in full, and from this information is exactly what you need, and it's all that you need, to be able to build custom software for minecraft classic.

(By the way, http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Classic_server_protocol was restored, but http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Classic_Server_Protocol was not.)

Edit:Ah forget it, I saved the page for personal usage, so what do I care what you do with it. SpaceDot 17:29, 12 June 2011 (UTC)

So why is there a delete tag?
So this is the reason for deletion: "Reason: Suggests official support for custom servers (which is truly only what uses this) even though it's information of the actual client/server - otherwise custom servers already know. This is, to be honest, kind of pointless. Also, there's none for Beta (and don't ever see the need)". First off, where does it suggest "official support for custom servers"? I can only see a documentation, and not a suggestion. Second, "custom servers already know." What about the the people who don't know this? If they don't know, how will they find out? Third, how is this pointless? It's not spam, vandalism, a story, etc. Finally, "none for Beta". Please pay attention to the title. This is for Classic, not Beta. People still play Classic. So why should this be deleted? All of the deletion reasons are worthless! Also, one last thought, how is this not supported by Mojang? Drenay 18:26, 12 June 2011 (UTC)

Restored deletions
I restored the deletions because I often refer to this page. Further since it is properly named "Classic Server Protocol" I see no reason to delete it.

"This is, to be honest, kind of pointless": Is just plain wrong. This page is a good legacy article to refer to and it violates no rules.

"Suggests official support for custom servers": Is that not why there is a red banner at the top?!
