Talk:Minecraft

Proofreading
The article is greatly lacking in substantive/valuable information, but I went through and fixed several grammar and spelling related blunders to improve the formality of the article. Authors should consider proofreading in the future. Cholo71796 04:46, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

Remove Redirect
This page should be an article, not a redirect to the Main Page. It should explain the concepts of Minecraft and a brief history. Something like Minecraft, although we will have to rewrite it to fit this Wiki.

If you need to see how we should write this article, look here:
 * http://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/RuneScape
 * http://www.wowwiki.com/World_of_warcraft
 * http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Team_Fortress

So as you can see, it's mostly what our Gameplay article was about, until now that it has became more about the Game Modes. The Gameplay article should redirect to here. --Scykei 06:03, 29 November 2010 (UTC)


 * It's a redirect to the main page because the main page contains all that description of the game. "Minecraft is a sandbox construction game, inspired by Infiniminer" and so forth. There is a redundancy in offering the information on both -- one version could lag. If there were enough information that we wanted to provide that it would not fit on the main page, then I would agree it would be appropriate to split the information off here, leaving only a summary there. --Eskay 00:07, 29 November 2010 (CST)


 * Don't know if it's too early but maybe it should have some sort of fancy redesign? :P Have all sorts of polls, did you knows, featured articles/images, oh my! :D --Scykei 00:21, 29 November 2010 (CST)
 * I would agree that this should be an article giving a general overview of the game. The content on the main page can be (and should be) changed eventually, as it really doesn't belong there. -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png|19px ]] talk  18:23, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

Renovation
This is the Minecraft Wiki, I am surprised the minecraft article is a stub. It would be much better to have a better in depth history of the game with pictures and such. Maybe a separate page for the History of Minecraft should be considered. Also talking a little bit of game play, and goals (or the joys of not having goals) in Minecraft. The Up coming versions for Android, iOS, and Xbox, Multilayer game play, and Other aspects of the game and the community surrounding this game would give someone unfamiliar a glimpse of what a unique and great game this is. --Tgpqaz 21:08, 16 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Sounds like a fine idea to me. Write it! --Eskay 03:37, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

Noticed A lot of Aritles and other things dont refer back here, also, maybe there should be a seperate Minrcraft (Computer) to reflect the platform expanition of the game, while this one would sum up general minecraft gameplay, history, and diferent platforms. Edit:I've  doubled tripled the size of the article.--Tgpqaz 17:14, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

Yay!!! Now its not a stub! (: The way it should be.--Tgpqaz 22:39, 17 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Funny thing is, Notch actually preferred the old article. http://twitter.com/#!/notch/status/81867527868792832 – ultradude25 ( T at 03:01, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

Wow, huh, well, I thought it was good idea.... --Tgpqaz 04:10, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

anti-stub
As I stated below in "Renovation" I wanted to improve the article, and make it a detailed overview of the game instead of the two paragraph stub that it was a few days ago. This article shold be a central part of the wiki, not a stub. I tried to fix my mistakes, but my goal was to set a framework for a great article. I respect notch, even if he preferred the old article but im happy with my work. If someone wants to redo everything, be my guest, as long as the end result is a solid, comprehensive, detailed article on Minrecraft, similar to the Wikipedia article on Minecraft, but suited to this wiki with more details on how the game is played.--Tgpqaz 15:41, 18 June 2011 (UTC)
