Suggestions to this article
Hi guys, I would like to make some suggestions to this article and maybe some fellow experienced minecrafters could help me - I personally am a minecraft newbie and don't have enough time for playing, that however makes my love for minecraft even bigger. Here are some suggestions:
 * There are nice descriptions and pictures of all of the houses, however, it only desribes villages found in plains biome. It would be nice to add the same information+pictures for the desert villages.
 * Most of this talk page should be deleted/archived, because now its too messy, full and chaotic.
 * Structure of the article should be reorganised (into let's say "wikipedia standard" - especially bottom parts of the article), and more information about the villagers and villager mating should be added from the respective articles - maybe these articles should be merged into this one.
 * Bugs should be only in the "Bugs" section of the article, and not in the rest of it - it only confuses the reader who wants to know more about large houses for example.

That's it, thanks for reading and for your time. --88.103.146.209 15:18, 3 February 2013 (UTC)

UPDATE: We can take inspiration (and pictures) from the German version of this article, right here. Pictures of the interiors from the russian version also look good. --88.103.146.209 16:34, 3 February 2013 (UTC)

Cleanup, split out picture-heavy table
I just did an initial cleanup: There's surely more to be done, but I think this is already much more readable.
 * Converted history section to template.
 * Split the massive table of pictures to its own page.
 * Trimmed a lot of obsolete stuff.

I'd also like to make one complaint/proposal about the terminology: A "Blacksmith" is a person (or in MC, a mob). Their building should be called a "Blacksmith's shop" or a "Smithy", not identically to the smith themself. (Compare the "Butcher's shop".) I haven't gone through changing everything, in case this reflects some in-game naming that I've missed, but that's normal English usage. --Mental Mouse 15:34, 13 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Apparently part of the very nice cleanup, the history/upcoming note about 13w06a has "Villagers won't crowd all into the same house anymore.". Having worked on the issue a bit myself, there is enough of personal interest that it caught my eye. I haven't seen any official note about this having been fixed yet. (At least not in JIRA (issue MC-78, or in the snapshot announcement at www.mojang.com.) I'll remove that text for now; if bringing it back, please provide reference for the source of that information. (Perhaps Mojang just forgot to update the JIRA, and this has been tested to work and fix is announced elsewhere?) Bugi74 18:02, 13 February 2013 (UTC)
