Template:Block
Quatroking, when the Templates for Items, etc were all consolidated into Template:Block, you introduced a categorization error because the Template includes a call to Category:Blocks in the includeitems tag. Items like Torch, etc use the Block template, and thus end up in the category (which has 89 members at the time that I write this. You may want to have a  call instead.  --Orne 18:32, 22 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Quat isn't the one that did that; that would be me. I'll look into this, but your suggestion up top wouldn't work, as there would be too many sub-types people would use.  Instead I'll work on a switch comparing what block type is used.  I've been rather busy in real life as of late, considering my computer's motherboard is fried.— Dæ dαlus Contribs 06:39, 25 September 2010 (UTC)

Nice to meet you!
Quatro, You guys have done an amazing job with this wiki! I help run the gaming network on Wikia - which is some 30M uniques per month strong. I was hoping we could chat about a partnership, or to see if your community would be interested in allowing Wikia to host the wiki (absorb operating costs). Having Wikia host the wiki comes with several benefits - updated MW software, improved functionality, tech support, a gaming network to leverage out in building the best resource for Mine Craft. I would love to hear from you or Aera. You can reach me at Douglas (at) Wikia-inc.com. Cheers!! Xfevinco 18:47, 24 September 2010 (CDT)

I'm new here to Minepedia (so please pardon an apparent stranger speaking up), but have dealt with wikia quite a bit on a different gaming wiki (one of their largest). I suggest not taking the decision to move to wikia lightly... you may get their hosting, but wikia comes with a lot of baggage as well (sometimes instrusive ads, global rollout of features you might not want, etc.). Once you go to wikia and that autonomy is lost, there's no going back. They don't really interfere with the day-to-day administration of a wiki, but they do have a lot of rules you have to follow, including some mandatory front page layouts for ads and the like. --Lordebon 03:59, 25 September 2010 (UTC)
