 * It is not the worst thing in the world if the wiki takes half a day to update the version. The version currently can only be updated by administrators, so it may take a bit before one logs on and changes it. – KnightMiner  (t·c) 19:54, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

Outdated MediaWiki version
221.221.218.180 09:57, 14 March 2015 (UTC) about this wiki: Is this wiki's format of all the pages compatible with the latest MediaWiki? if it is, then update plz
 * Sign your comments after their contents.
 * You should've been asking it on the community portal's talk page.
 * Differences between 1.23's and 1.24's page formats are miniscule (notably ! being implemented into the core), there are mainly performance fixes in 1.24.
 * Ask a Curse employee (email support@curse.com) to get info on their plans on updating MediaWiki.

 * Gamepedia updates on every uneven release, wait for 1.25. –Majr ᐸ Talk Contribs 11:00, 14 March 2015 (UTC)

Outdated Snapshot Version
It's still got 15w32c as the 'most recent' snapshot, instead of 15w33b. I don't think it's due to the bugs supposedly present in 33b but not 32c, as it's meant to be 'most recent', not 'most bug-free'.

 * The list has to be manually updated, and to reduce vandalism, an administrator has to do it. They are normally watching the main page talk pages, so one should update it shortly. (if not, feel free to post on Template talk:Version or the admin noticeboard.) – KnightMiner  t/c 14:28, 13 August 2015 (UTC)

New stone background headers
What is the consensus on the new stone background for the headers on the main page? It's been sitting around on the edit copy for a while, so if there is enough of a consensus from this discussion we can bring the changes over to the main page. Personally I am in favour of the new design. (see this discussion for the original discussion for this change) –Goandgoo ᐸ Talk Contribs 05:26, 12 September 2015 (UTC)

 * For the most part, people were split between keeping the old blue and using a Minecraft texture for the boxes (other than stone; dirt, planks, and the Minecraft menu button texture were mentioned).
 * As for my opinion: after looking at it again, most grey textures make it a bit monochromatic (as the color provides a good focal point). I like the look of birch planks the best in that reguard, as they are both brightly colored and have a not too contrasting texture, though their color stands out a bit too much from the background and fixing that would require changing the page background color or using an unnatural plank color. The third texture to concider is the menu button when selected, which provides a nice blue color, though we would need to change the CSS a bit to get the shading on the bottom right, or else we would restrict the size of said headers. – KnightMiner  t/c 18:25, 12 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Looking at the Korean Minecraft Wiki, the grass block texture does not look too bad (the green grass part produces a lot less contrast with the blue, and makes the brown seem a bit lighter), though it is quite a bit darker than the current box which would require the font color to be changed to white. – KnightMiner  t/c 01:52, 13 September 2015 (UTC)
 * I like the grass block better too. The random grays of the stone texture blur the text in my vision, and the grass block is the iconic Minecraft block. &mdash;munin &middot; Grid_Book_and_Quill.png Grid_Stone_Pickaxe.png &middot; 01:59, 13 September 2015 (UTC)
 * I also think that the Korean header version is great. I don't see a reason not to use the grass block texture. Adapting the CSS should not be a big problem since there are only two lines of code needed to be changed. Using the blue Minecraft button is a good idea too, but would be way more difficult to implement using CSS. | violine1101(Talk) 20:34, 13 September 2015 (UTC)
 * I just implemented the grass texture from the Korean wiki. What do you think? | violine1101(Talk) 16:15, 20 September 2015 (UTC)


 * I like it, though the image will need to be made a bit taller to make it work with our usage on the community portal (basically just extending the dirt farther down, and possibly tweaking the black gradient) – KnightMiner  t/c 20:39, 20 September 2015 (UTC)
