Removing red links
On the potion page, I created a red link for Alchemy. In all wikis that I've ever participated in, the redlink signifies that a page with that title should be created at some point. You removed the link later, presumably just because it was red!

Wikipedia's [|red link policy] states that "Good red links help Wikipedia—they encourage new contributors in useful directions, and remind us that Wikipedia is far from finished."

You have more contributions to this wiki than I, so maybe there is a red link guideline here that trumps standard wiki usage. If so, can you let me know? If not, can we restore this redlink?

 * I didn't remove it because it was red. I removed it because we don't know the final name for that skill. And while putting Alchemy in there is fine. Putting in a redlink that makes more work for the Admins or Mods, when they have to move or delete a mistakenly created page didn't make sense. --Ecksearoh 21:27, 27 September 2011 (UTC)


 * I'm not picky, so I won't bother changing it back. But, I see it as "Hell" and the "Slip", which were given as names for the Nether, before it was released.  Those pages (redirects) had to be made, because Notch officially talked about it using those terms.  Notch has talked enough about "Alchemy" in the past, that a page should already exist with that name.  If it changes name when released, a redirect needs to be made.  The redlink serves as a reminder in both cases. Chezzik 21:49, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

crafting
umm, could you please use the wikitable class instead of adding css manually to tables?

i had to do this far too much. thanks :) – Flying sheep 18:39, 29 September 2011 (UTC)
 * And thank you for doing that. I copied the code I used from the Glass Bottle page because I had no idea there was any alternative. That should have also been your first assumption. Followed by you pointing me to the correct code. Am I right? --Ecksearoh 20:29, 29 September 2011 (UTC)
 * heh, i just checked the new pages, came acroos it, saw that you did add those, changed it, and told you so that you know :D – Flying sheep 21:18, 29 September 2011 (UTC)

Edits regarding talk pages
We do not move/redirect talk pages. Only administrators are authorised to archive/delete/move talk pages. --HexZyle 14:32, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Had no idea, thanks I couldn't figure out what to do with it after I redirected the main page. --Ecksearoh 14:34, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Yeah, the stuff on the mainspace is public property, anyone is allowed to vigourously edit that. But the stuff on the talk page pretty much belongs to you, only the admins can touch it. That's why we sign. --HexZyle 14:37, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Cool thanks, already reverted. --Ecksearoh 14:37, 10 October 2011 (UTC)

Irregular vs. Neutral
There has been much discussion on this issue and I would be happy to hear your point of view but do not change something without even talking about if first because that only leads to edit wars which are horrible. This was not a rash or thoughtless change because I put forth my proposition to change the category months ago and have implemented it accordingly. Please don't respond on here but on the mobs discussion page. Thank you Theesexiestman 03:11, 12 October 2011 (UTC)
 * I replied both on that page and on your talk page just to make sure you didn't miss it. Passive, Aggressive, and Neutral are terms used by Notch and Jeb to describe the Mobs. And the rule is that the wiki adheres to Mojang's definitions. --Ecksearoh 15:04, 12 October 2011 (UTC)

Dude...no need to tell me...
A. Already saw it was changed back B. What a wiki is for if not edit wars? ;)--Yurisho 21:46, 13 October 2011 (UTC)
 * I tend to try and avoid edit wars, another user explained it in the change comments. And when I checked the talk page for your reasoning, I saw your post with the eid codes. --Ecksearoh 21:48, 13 October 2011 (UTC)
