Proposal: remove images from history and put them into separate gallery subpages
This is distracting with how many animations there are. This is annoying to read and translate with how many images there are. This disrupts the flow of text because the images are large.

I propose to not put historical images into history lists directly, but instead maintain a history gallery subpage with the images. Notably, that would be a subpage and not a section, as I don't believe most readers would need those images, and so they're an invariable bandwidth/performance strain. --AttemptToCallNil (report bug, view backtrace) 09:26, 21 August 2020 (UTC)


 * , and while doing that for revisions, maybe it's also an idea to do it for the block states sections like with redstone wire? Currently, some block states are hard to understand with the explanation they have. Images for visual block state differences would help. FVbico (talk) 09:37, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
 * , it took a lot of time to update these spawn egg images on Chinese Wiki (from sprites to images), and barely does nothing. It might be a bit useful when there are a little images along with historical texts, but only a little.-- LakeJasonFace.png Lakejason0  (Talk • Contribs) 10:07, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
 * , they are just an eyesore at this point. I had this idea beforehand but not encouraged enough to make a remark. For now, I would only think that separating them is the best decision. – ItsPlantseed ⟨₰|₢⟩ 10:30, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I'd say this is more of an issue with the History template itself than its contents, and we can all agree that said template is way overdue for a revamping. - User-12316399 (talk) 12:00, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

The problem with subpages
I think subpages are overused on this wiki. Wikipedia has disabled subpages in the main namespace and some others. Subpages cannot be accessed by clicking on the "Random page" link and only support one hierarchy while they may be more. I'm not saying to get rid of all subpages in the content namespaces, but to discourage some uses. Here's what I think when subpages should and should not be used:

Acceptable uses: Disallowed uses: Unsure: There are more uses of subpages on this wiki but I am still unsure about whether they are acceptable. Fadyblok240 (talk) 21:23, 23 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Anything that Wikipedia accepts as subpages—User subpages, template documentation, etc. It is laughable to even think about removing these subpages from the Minecraft wiki.
 * Mod pages (until all mod pages are moved to FTB)—The Minecraft Wiki only concerns the vanilla game. Although some of these pages are full articles, we don't want readers to end up on pages about specific mods.
 * Writing about a feature of the same name for a different edition—These pages are articles and there are better ways to disambiguate the name than making it look like one article forms part of another when it does not.
 * Category subpages—Categories were created to replace mainspace subpages on Wikipedia. Using subpages for categories is pointless and sometimes the names get ridiculously long.
 * Mechanics pages—These pages are also articles, and in the past there was a dispute on whether these pages should be named "Mechanics/X" or "X/Mechanics".
 * Tutorials subpages—These pages are less like encyclopedia articles, but they still contain helpful instructional material so they should be moved to a new namespace.
 * File subpages—I don't know whether there are such pages or even if the subpage feature is enabled, but it should be disabled because some filenames create accidental subpages and hierarchy among files is bad.
 * Previous versions of features—These articles are useful to a historical perspective, but completely irrelevant in the latest version of the game.
 * Command subpages—These pages are legitimate articles, but pages starting with "/" cause technical problems.
 * Schematic pages—They are merely pseudo-images that are transcluded, but sometimes they may be used on more than one page so maybe they should be converted to templates.


 * My opinion. I'm going to list my strongest support on top and strongest oppose on the bottom (of what subpages should be allowed)

1 more thing, what do you mean by previous versions of features? are you talking about Java Edition 1.13/Flattening? ---HumiebeeDiscuss anything with me Look at my edits 22:59, 23 August 2020 (UTC)
 * 1) User subpages  be allowed.
 * 2) Minecraft Wiki namespace subpages  be allowed.
 * 3) Archive subpages  be allowed.
 * 4) Documentation  be allowed (template)
 * 5) Guides, Commands and Official subpages  be allowed.
 * 6) Previous versions of features  be allowed.
 * 7) Development versions subpages  be allowed (ex:Java Edition 1.0.0/Development versions)
 * 8) Subpages that make sense but are too technical to be in a main article (Ex:/DV, /Structure, Category Data Pages, or others).
 * 9) Mod subpages  be allowed (as they still haven't been completely exported yet)
 * 10) Writing about a feature of the same name for a different edition  be allowed as it makes sense but the argument also makes sense so i'm sorta split?
 * 11) Mechanics pages should be  to another subpage/possible tutorial namespace
 * 12) Tutorials subpage should be  to another namespace
 * 13) Category subpages should be  be allowed like theres such thing as subcategories (Ex Objects requiring isometric renders/Re-render)
 * Kinda, I meant pages like "X/Before ". which in my opinion I am still not sure about. Fadyblok240 (talk) 17:21, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I support keeping those as let's take the Far lands, old farlands sounds so wrong and also, merging the Far Lands/Java Edition and Far Lands will create a lot of confusion, thats why it was split---HumiebeeDiscuss anything with me Look at my edits 17:46, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
 * What does this (Writing about a feature of the same name for a different edition) mean? like I don't know any example and I'm pretty sure there's no subpage, can you give an example?---HumiebeeDiscuss anything with me Look at my edits 17:48, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
 * A page like Achievements/Java Edition. I prefer moving pages like these to " X" (i.e. Java Edition Achievements and Java Edition Far Lands). I also support moving the current Far Lands page and moving it to Bedrock Edition Far Lands and leaving a disambiguation page behind. –Preceding unsigned comment was added by Fadyblok240 (talk • contribs) at 17:58, 24 August 2020 (UTC).

 * I don't think moving "X/Edition" to "Edition X" is a good idea; the former provides a semantic relation that is more visible to search engines. I'm not sure what "category subpages" are or whether they are used on MCW. As for mechanics, "X/Mechanics" has the same consideration of semantic relation as with editions. --AttemptToCallNil (report bug, view backtrace) 18:01, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
 * There are already articles using the "Edition X" format, e.g. Java Edition mentioned features. Also, there is such a thing as category subpages on this wiki. I have reworked Template:Needs render to avoid category subpages, but Template:Render uses dozens of category subpages (e.g. Category:Objects requiring isometric renders/Historical features/Stems/Invalid states) which is too much for me to handle. Fadyblok240 (talk) 18:36, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Above is 1 such example---HumiebeeDiscuss anything with me Look at my edits 18:40, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Oh, those? Yeah, I agree, they're not the best idea. --AttemptToCallNil (report bug, view backtrace) 18:43, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Mixed opinion on this. Subpages automatically link back to their parent pages at the top and allows easy access to them; this is especially useful on mobile where neither categories nor navbox templates show up. With that in mind, I think it makes sense to keep at least the following as subpages (and probably other scenarios that I missed):


 * Subpages of Commands, Java Edition guides, and Official pages, where having the subpage format makes the page topic and allows quick access to the root article
 * Historical/outdated versions of articles
 * Subpages that are intended to be accessed directly, but don't make sense without the parent article (such as Enchanting/Levels, "/Structure" subpages, or the proposed gallery subpages)
 * Pages in Category:Data pages. Though transcluded like templates and not accessed directly, they describe article content.


 * However, I would support template-like subpages (such as Renewable resource/row) to the template namespace, as well as cleaning up category subpages. I would also support moving "Mechanics/Redstone" to "Redstone mechanics" since the mechanics page itself is a redirect to a different page. Regarding some of the suggestions by, I am neutral on moving Tutorials pages to a separate namespace (assuming that it's searchable like the MCD and MCE namespaces), but disagree with making a namespace for "X/Mechanics" pages as they are similar to regular articles, just more technical. – Sonicwave talk  20:08, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Ok, I agree on pretty much your whole statement above including the gallery subpage idea but but I think the Mechanics should possibly go into Tutorials:Mechanics/whatever.---HumiebeeDiscuss anything with me Look at my edits 20:15, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I dont know, if mechanics are (not) tutorials, but I have no problem with that. So I am this idea. –Preceding unsigned comment was added by TreeIsLife (talk • contribs) at 20:50, 24 August 2020 (UTC). Please sign your posts with
 * I mean it is teaching you the mechanics of whatever so that make sense.---HumiebeeDiscuss anything with me Look at my edits 22:47, 24 August 2020 (UTC)


 * I don't think you make strong enough case for not using subpages, especially so for mechanics and tutorials pages. For example, you brought up the past dispute regarding the names of mechanics pages, but the fact that the dispute was had and solved, and the community arrived at a solution, is an argument in favour of keeping the current page hierarchy, if anything. I'm fine with the other suggestions but mechanics and tutorials subpages work fine without issues. Blue Banana whotookthisname (talk) 07:16, 25 August 2020 (UTC)


 * Many of the Tutorials subpages are ignored by the Minecraft Wiki's most active editors. Special:Random The "Random page" link never links to subpages. If the tutorials were moved to a new content namespace, they wouldn't be subpages and therefore be accessible from the Random page link and more likely for editors to notice. Fadyblok240 (talk) 02:09, 27 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Special:Random does not link to anything besides mainspace so that's.......---HumiebeeDiscuss anything with me Look at my edits 02:24, 27 August 2020 (UTC)
 * The "Random page" link does link to other namespaces, namely Minecraft Earth and Minecraft Dungeons. If a Tutorials namespace were created, the wiki manager could classify it as a content namespace. Ironically, Special:Random also links to subpages, although the "Random page" link does not. I tested this after the migration to UCP and I still couldn't get to a subpage by using the "Random page" link on the sidebar. Fadyblok240 (talk) 02:40, 27 August 2020 (UTC)
 * This is because the Random page link in the sidebar uses Special:RandomRootpage instead. – Unavailablehoax (talk) 21:55, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
 * It was probably configured like that to bypass non-article pages that are subpages of articles, but there are also legitimate articles that are subpages. Maybe we should move article subpages to root pages or allow the random page link to access subpages and move non-article subpages of articles to other namespaces. Fadyblok240 (talk) 20:20, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Ditto Sonicwave and Humiebee for the most part, don't have a whole lot to add. I'd also add history-esque subpages to the list of "acceptable" subpages, there's not really a better place for most of these and it keeps them tied to their parent pages really nicely. While yes the current version of a main article body should always reflect the current version (and only the current version), the wiki should still hold all the information on old versions of features. Usually a good history section can get the job done, but oftentimes the changes are too vast and/or complicated to be fully represented there (for example, loot table reworks, old villagers, etc). -PancakeIdentity (talk) 17:41, 27 August 2020 (UTC)

Bot noticeboard?
I know this sounds really dumb but I kind of want like a page, similar to the Minecraft Wiki:Admin noticeboard that people can post on that requests something that a bot would do such as fixing links due to UCP. Maybe is should be called something else but idk what. Link????Minecraft Wiki:Bot noticeboard---HumiebeeDiscuss anything with me Look at my edits 20:29, 26 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Thanks!---HumiebeeDiscuss anything with me Look at my edits 21:16, 26 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia has a similar page named Wikipedia:WP:Bot requests but on the Minecraft Wiki there are not that many bots, so maybe the Bot Noticeboard doesn't warrant its own page, but should be a section of subpage of the Admin Noticeboard or linked directly on the sidebar. Fadyblok240 (talk) 20:46, 26 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I don't think it should be in the sidebar but I do on it to be a subpage/subsection of the admin noticeboard.---HumiebeeDiscuss anything with me Look at my edits 20:49, 26 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I would a small section dedicated for this. Although I feel like the community portal would a better place for this than the admin noticeboard, as bot edits aren't necessarily for admins. — Thomanski | t | c |  21:55, 26 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Though bots rights are only given to bots of trusted users so I have some mixed opinions---HumiebeeDiscuss anything with me Look at my edits 21:56, 26 August 2020 (UTC)
 * It's not super hard to be considered a trusted user if you're somewhat active and consistently constructive. Also, bots don't really have many different rights than normal user accounts, it's more to do with reducing spam and stuff. -PancakeIdentity (talk) 21:53, 27 August 2020 (UTC)


 * . Don't really see a need honestly. In my time here, I've only seen a few users ask for a bot to do something for them that they couldn't/didn't want to do themselves. And in these few instances, they were easily fulfilled through discord or this CP. -PancakeIdentity (talk) 17:34, 27 August 2020 (UTC)

Closing and merging projects
Well. Currently, we have many, many, many active Wiki Projects in Minecraft Wiki:Projects. But many of them are duplicate, non-useful and others, which idk, how someone could create it.

So here's complete list of active projects, excluding language ones


 * 1) Welcome
 * 2) Screenshot Minecraft Versions
 * 3) Beginner's Guide Rewrite
 * 4) Minecraft in schools
 * 5) Screenshot Fixing
 * 6) Rewrite for Style
 * 7) Version cleanup
 * 8) Tutorials Modernization
 * 9) Userboxes standardization
 * 10) Redirect cleanup
 * 11) Renaming
 * 12) Cleanup open tags
 * 13) Capitalization Fixing
 * 14) Individual Biome Pages
 * 15) Upload Missing Wiki Sounds
 * 16) Refactoring edition specific information
 * 17) Minecraft Earth Wiki
 * 18) Texture Documentation Cleanup
 * 19) Gallery organization
 * 20) Wiki videos
 * 21) Minecraft: Story Mode Mobs

21 pages, with some of them could be deleted.

So i start with my ideas
 * 1) Fandom has automatic Messages from some MediaWiki page. Also i don't see anybody adding Welcome template, so I consider.
 * 2) Should be merged with Screenshot fixing
 * 3) Better merging with Minecraft in Education
 * 4) Should be merged with Screenshot Minecraft Versions
 * 5)  but, compleate it.
 * Ok,
 * 1) Keep it
 * 2) No activity, it's in dead point from it's creation, consider removing it
 * 3) It is compleated, we should archive that
 * 4) Keeping it
 * 5) Keeping it
 * 6) Happy to see it will be done (one time), so keep it
 * 7) It is compleated, so archive
 * 8) Keeping longer for discuss
 * 9) Archive
 * 10) Keep
 * 11) This is not most useful project, so discussion
 * 12) Keep that
 * 13) Keep it, but i notice that's outdated.
 * 1) Keep that
 * 2) Keep it, but i notice that's outdated.

 * I have some opinions as well.


 * , Madminecrafter12 is the only user to even remotely work on it, completly unused though the template should still remain as the template, not the project is still used.
 * , would be better to merge with capitalization fixing.
 * , don't bomb it, improve it.
 * 1)  with Rewrite for Style
 * 2)  there's still a discussion with like 90% support and so more discussion is not really needed

 * Mostly agree with your conclusions. At this point, I'm not sure we need #16 anymore, we only deal with two editions. We're not perfect in how we document them yet but I'm not sure if need a project, especially as it never really had much discussion on what to do. Also, just wanted to check, the Earth Wiki project has no relevance now that it has its own namespace, correct? -PancakeIdentity (talk) 17:32, 27 August 2020 (UTC)
 * The Minecraft Earth Wiki project is still relevant, as many of the articles in that wiki's namespace are stubs. Fadyblok240 (talk) 09:43, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Also, we should reclassify some projects as semi-active, as the Minecraft Wiki is never complete. I have added a handy template called project status that categorizes projects by activity. The cleanup open tags project has turned into a white elephant project. Fadyblok240 (talk) 02:16, 19 September 2020 (UTC)

Documentation template revamp
Can somebody add links to "/sandbox" and "/testcases" subpages of templates to the Template:Documentation template? Fadyblok240 (talk) 19:08, 28 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Why? --TreeIsLife (talk) 22:39, 9 September 2020 (UTC)
 * I (along with Humiebee) have created several template sandboxes, but the documentation template does not recognize that they are template sandboxes and shows that they have no documentation; they appear in Category:Templates with no documentation instead of Category:Template sandboxes. Fadyblok240 (talk) 22:32, 26 September 2020 (UTC)
 * I don't see the need for those pages, they'd just become outdated and useless quickly. Just use the Template:Sandbox or your own user subpage instead.  Nixinova   T   C   02:10, 27 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Template sandbox subpages would be useful for implementing major changes to high-risk templates with complex code or many parameters, where the "show preview" button alone would not guarantee whether the template is free of errors. Fadyblok240 (talk) 03:31, 5 October 2020 (UTC)


 * Okay, and what stops you from doing that on your own page or as a subpage on the sandbox, instead of creating additional maintenance for all templates? Very few templates are both high traffic enough that a major change is wiki breaking and get enough changes to warrant a permanent sandbox page. Likewise, BatchTest can handle doing test cases by comparing actual uses of the template to a sandboxed version.
 * I get that other wikis like Wikipedia do this, we don't have nearly the editing traffic they do so we don't have to adopt such complicated systems to make templates easy to maintain. – KnightMiner  · (t) 04:02, 5 October 2020 (UTC)

Move the Greek and Turkish Wiki back into translation projects
Why? Well for starters, Grid Files, the vast majority of them are used exclusively by the turkish wiki, also for both wiki, they have inactive admins. Another thing is that the amount of contributions to the wiki is miniscule. All I see is User:Fusion thermonucleaire, who is technically a bot, who puts interwiki links, User:Thomanski, who uploads files and thats pretty much it, for the Greek Wiki, it's main page is not even 100% translated and again, completely inactive.

A Summary
 * 1) Both have no active admin (Greek admin edits once a year, turkish admin hasn't edited since 2017)
 * 2) Both have no active real contributers (Greek wiki is slightly more active then Turkish, still, 80% of edits are by Fusion thermonucleaire)
 * 3) The Greek Wiki does not even have a 100% translated main page
 * 4) The Turkish wiki uses grid files and would ease the hassle of removing them.
 * 5) Those are my reasons
 * 6) ---HumiebeeDiscuss anything with me Look at my edits 17:39, 4 September 2020 (UTC)


 * , the reason why I upload files to those interwikis is to remove their dependency of the English wiki so we can finally remove the grid files here. I honestly don't know what to do with these wikis though. I don't think straight up deleting them is a good idea (for people that don't understand English), but on the other hand, these interwikis are REALLY outdated and inaccurate information is never a good thing for a wiki. — Thomanski | t | c | 21:45, 4 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Yeah, but like putting it into a translation project isn't harmful.---HumiebeeDiscuss anything with me Look at my edits 22:01, 4 September 2020 (UTC)


 * Hate to say it, but, moving back to translation projects, as their state is actually harmfull to the readers (false/outdated info everywhere, and only partially translated) and only hinders changes on the english wiki due to the dependency. FVbico (talk) 22:04, 4 September 2020 (UTC)


 * I think it has to do with the Cyprus dispute Fadyblok240 (talk) 00:36, 5 September 2020 (UTC)
 * What does this have anything to do with the discussion?---HumiebeeDiscuss anything with me Look at my edits 00:42, 5 September 2020 (UTC)
 * - why can't we just delete the untranslated pages instead, and add dedicated "this info is disgustingly outdated" templates to it instead? I wouldn't be against just getting rid of the wikis entirely either given the lack of interest. - User-12316399 (talk) 00:40, 5 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Yes, because whats the point about having a wiki page translated in multiple languages and the translated pages not even be finished and be forgotten about. I would consider it wiki clutter. So unless someone takes the time out of their day to rework all these translated pages, i think it's best to just axe em'. James Haydon (talk) 04:05, 5 September 2020 (UTC)
 * doing something about these translations, the Greek wiki is just a complete import of the English one, issues pages and all (this should never be how translations are done), so everything is 3+ years outdated and clutters maintenance on this wiki. Add to that the fact that, since the wiki is in English, its a target for spammers who won't be reverted like they are here. E.g.: el:Alpha 1.2.4: there's no'one other than English wiki users to revert them. I can barely find many pages that have actually been translated apart from like a disambig, though there is el:Κρύσταλλος_του_Ender, el:Βιβλίο και Πένα, el:Κύβοι Διαμαντιού‏‎, el:Μπλοκ‏‎, but that's it. I'll just import all of the translated pages back here so they're safe if we feel like nuking that wiki.  Nixinova   T   C   20:20, 5 September 2020 (UTC)
 * There: Special:Prefixindex/MCW:Projects/Greek translation/ – that's literally all the translated Greek pages. The wiki can be safely nuked now if that's decided.  Nixinova   T </b>  C </b>  20:34, 5 September 2020 (UTC)
 * What about the turkish wiki?---HumiebeeDiscuss anything with me Look at my edits 22:53, 5 September 2020 (UTC)

Converting .ogg files to .mp3 and .wav
Given that .ogg files aren't supported on mobile, maybe we should convert all .ogg files into .mp3 (Music samples) and .wav (sounds) files with software like Audacity.

 * As a matter of principle, I strongly oppose creating unnecessary time-wasting busy-work, which is basically what is being proposed. Ogg is playable on all desktop browsers and on all mobile devices using VLC. By the time all the work has been done to convert ogg to mp3, mobile browsers will likely be supporting it anyway. ~ Amatulic (talk) 21:13, 22 September 2020 (UTC)

 * Well, the sounds and music are stored in Minecraft as Ogg files in the first place, so if data integrity is a concern, they should be used and uploaded directly, which was already done. (For music files, it’s possible to cut the file to 30 seconds without re-encoding it — FFmpeg does allow that, not so sure about Audacity.) —  Babylon A S </b> *Happy Camper* 15:09, 24 September 2020 (UTC)

 * — Transcoding Ogg Vorbis (one lossy format) to MP3 (another lossy format, with worse quality by the way) isn't good practice in general, and using WAV will lead to much larger files. Safari not supporting Ogg is Apple's fault, and VLC is also available (if I recall correctly™) on iOS/macOS as well. As for royalty free, this advantage of Ogg is no longer relevant now, as all patents on MP3 have already expired, however Ogg Vorbis is still superior quality-wise (as in, Ogg file will sound better than an MP3 of identical size). It doesn't seem to be worth the effort. —  Babylon A S </b> *Happy Camper* 07:19, 24 September 2020 (UTC)

The Skeleton Horseman problem, and how should we fix it?
Recently, has had its link changed from Skeleton Horse to MCD:Skeleton Horseman. Two major problems emerged from doing so: Is it called a skeleton trap, a skeleton jockey, or a skeleton horseman? This change of redirect of the Skeleton Horseman page has caused some confusion for me. Blockofnetherite Talk Contributions 20:33, 8 September 2020 (UTC)
 * 1) Many "Skeleton Horseman" links of the Minecraft jockey-like mob suddenly redirected into a Minecraft Dungeons mob. This created problems for the Minecraft topic section of the Skeleton (disambiguation) page.
 * 2) At least two templates, Template:EntitySprite and Template:EntityLink's id is "skeleton-horseman", not "skeleton-trap".
 * Ok, try do to your best and fix it, i have no other argument, so I am ing. --TreeIsLife (talk) 20:40, 8 September 2020 (UTC)

Now that this issue is fixed, there are still questions remaining.
It seems that "skeleton trap" and "skeleton horseman" have been used interchangeably. In the Skeleton Horse page, where skeleton traps/horsemen are described, they call them skeleton traps. However, the EntitySprite and EntityLink templates use the id: "skeleton-horseman". So what are they, skeleton traps, skeleton horsemen, or skeleton/skeleton horse jockeys? What should we do, keep them as interchangeable terms, or merge into one? Blockofnetherite Talk Contributions 16:15, 9 September 2020 (UTC)

 * most shortcuts. A single letter namespace name is hard to read and can be confusing for new users, all for the gain of you typing 5 less letters. I don't see much point to that. For long namespaces such as Minecraft Wiki or Minecraft Dungeons (and cooresponding talk pages) I agree, but for short ones like Talk or Template, you are gaining a ton of confusion in favor of typing 6 less letters. (is T:Minecraft a talk page, or a template?). Plus, many of these rarely get links, such as widgets, MediaWiki, and Help. Template is also rarely linked directly, the template syntax automatically handles it. KnightMiner (t/c) 17:27, 10 November 2020 (UTC)

New proposal
It looks like the most support is headed towards implement for only MET and MDT and the others are not really nessicary, so would you support just I feel like MD and ME could also be helpful (so that is why I added it to the list)---HumiebeeDiscuss anything with me Look at my edits 22:37, 19 September 2020 (UTC)
 * 1) Only MDT and MET
 * MD, ME, MDT, MET
 * 1) Everything on my definitely list (+ MD and ME)
 * 2) Everything except Gadget, Widget, and their talk and definition variants.
 * 3) Everything


 * Option 1 and CAT: for Category:, H: for Help:, and T: for Template: instead of Talk: Fadyblok240 (talk) 23:37, 19 September 2020 (UTC)


 * Option 1 and that's it! This is not Project NS or talks, so there is no need to do other shortcuts. --TreeIsLife (talk) 11:41, 24 September 2020 (UTC)


 * Certainly Option 1 at least. I dislike the idea of CAT shortening (suggested by Fadyblok) because no category uses short names like Minecraft Wiki pages or even some templates do. Help shortening does seem to be helpful, the same may apply for templates, and if both these get shortcuts, then their talk pages should probably have them as well (HT and TT). But implementing shortcuts for all namespaces just for the sake of it is certainly not worth the effort.
 * As I said before, I don't support most namespace aliases (including CAT:); I only support them as pseudo-namespace redirects for some pages. Also, I would rather have W: point to Wikipedia pages than to Widget pages. Fadyblok240 (talk) 01:12, 22 November 2020 (UTC)
 * On a side note, why exactly MDT and MET? The respective article namespaces are abbreviated MCD and MCE. Unless such shortenings are limited to three letters for some reason, I’d suggest using MCDT and MCET respectively for the sake of consistency (though, we already have MCT for Minecraft Wiki talk...). — <b style="line-height:19px;letter-spacing:1px"> Babylon A S </b> *Happy Camper* 06:27, 25 September 2020 (UTC)

Another reason to . Fadyblok240 (talk) 23:43, 23 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Okay, I don't think we need Gadget, Widget, or MediaWiki, because we shouldn't make it easier to see MediaWiki pages, as they contain information (like blocked words/website links on the inappropriate filter). Gadget and Widget are not so necessary. Talk is proposed to be short for T and not Tl. Still MDT, MET, TP, TPT, CAT, CTT, MOD, MDT, T, U, UT, F, FT, H, HT, S and SP, and UP.

I  the "M:" namespace for the same reason, as "M" could stand for either "module" or "MediaWiki". I also  the "GA:" namespace as it would conflict with interwiki links. I  "MDT:" and "MET:", as the main Dungeons and Earth namespaces already have shortcuts, so the addition of shortcuts to their talk namespaces would create consistency. I'm  about the rest, as whilst I can't see much harm in adding them, I'm unsure whether they would be particularly helpful, either. GrogTheGreatEvilGoblinWarlord (talk) 06:00, 11 November 2020 (UTC)

Add sort keys for version exclusive articles (including articles about versions themselves)

Change the main discussion from MCT:CP to MCW:Centralized discussion
This is a very big change proposal but I have some reasons to back it up. ---HumiebeeDiscuss anything with me Look at my edits 22:14, 28 September 2020 (UTC)
 * 1) This page should be used for discussing the Community Portal itself
 * 2) The ftb wiki does this as well
 * 3) It could be linked on the sidebar (as centralized discussion)
 * 4) How did this name start anyways?
 * 5) There is not any page to describe this main community discussion, now that it is in MCW namespace instead of MCT namespace, it could have a proper talk page.
 * 6) This would be an enourmus change and could break a lot of links.
 * 7) However, I will try to fix the links
 * 8) However, it fits more nicely


 * The community portal page itself needs almost no discussion as most of it is requesting pages or linking other discussions, I don't see a need for a dedicated talk page. This page is the portal to community, including community discussion, so the name seems clear enough to me. Plus, centralized discussion can lead to confusion, such as that the page is the only place we discuss wiki topics. Additionally, as you said, this is a huge change which will break basically any reference to the portal; none of the benefits you listed outweigh breaking all links from former discussions. – KnightMiner  · (t) 16:08, 29 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Looking at the What links here tool, 214 pages link here, and since at least like 50 of them are like redirects and duplicates (yes if it shows a redirect, it shows it indented below the redirect AND as normal) so it shouldn't be such a hard task. Since this page would not be used as much, it's redirects could just change without worry of the actual page, and like you said, if there is no discussion, it could temporaraly become a redirect while the links try to be fixed.---HumiebeeDiscuss anything with me Look at my edits 22:24, 30 September 2020 (UTC)


 * In my opinion, the community portal can very well be discussed about on the community portal, "wiki name"/Community portal is default and thus very widely used in other Gamepedia wikis, ftb is completely unrelated to this wiki, apart for the remaining mod pages, and, as you said yourself, this would be a enormous disruptive change. .

Idk, why, but your ideas are sometimes really outside of reality. This will be so much work, that idk, how will be doing this. A bot? Admins? You? No, this is outside reality change this page, as ut is so active, that it will be bad. Also, even we will end up doing this, it won't be MCW:Centralized discussion, but some MCW:Village pump (just like Wikipedia has it) --TreeIsLife (talk) 12:03, 3 October 2020 (UTC)


 * . I don't really see the point in fixing something that isn't really broken. ~ Amatulic (talk) 17:28, 3 October 2020 (UTC)


 * Well, I guess I'm the only one who supports this at all. Fadyblok240 (talk) 15:26, 20 October 2020 (UTC)


 * , there's absolutely nothing to gain from this change, and it would break so much. Every wiki does things slightly differently, consistency with other wikis really isn't a reason to do something. Not only pages on the wiki link to the community portal, links outside of the wiki (such as on discord) will all break too, and you cannot fix those. Do consider all of these in your proposals, because, as stated by others, this idea is way outside of the scope of reality. Nothing to gain, everytging to break.

suppressredirect permission, UCP, and autopatrolled users
On UCP, regular users won't have the permission to move pages without leaving a redirect. This permission will become admin-only. Since there are valid use cases for non-admins using this permission, but concerns with all users having it, I propose to grant autopatrolled users and patrollers this right. Non-English Minecraft Wikis may have other custom groups that they feel should not lose this right and aren't going to cause much damage with it; if so, I encourage the users of these wikis to list these groups here. See also the Wikipedia group that inspired this proposal. --AttemptToCallNil (report bug, view backtrace) 12:40, 2 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Is moving without redirect vandalism (or in general bad edits) really common though? because if not, I see no reason to take that permission from anyone who may not have autopatroller rights. Dhranios (talk) 13:10, 2 October 2020 (UTC)


 * I couldn't get a conclusive answer on whether a configuration with  for all registered users will be approved (there's no guarantee it will be, and from what I've heard, staff don't know either). I can't give a conclusive answer on whether such vandalism is common either, but I'd say we should expect disruptive users with accounts to be more common than before given that now having an account is much easier (no more Twitch requirement). --AttemptToCallNil (report bug, view backtrace) 13:26, 2 October 2020 (UTC)


 * If the privilege gets taken away from regular users, I'd definitely support allowing autopatrol and patrollers to retain it, for the reasons you described. I might actually support it otherwise as well, as currently any user who logs in essentially has the ability to delete a page (because that's literately what moving without a redirect does). If someone has the autopatrol or patroller right, they're presumably trusted enough to make constructive edits/moves, so imo they can be trusted to move without leaving a redirect.--Madminecrafter12 (Talk to me 13:17, 2 October 2020 (UTC)


 * I added the  permission to the following groups:
 * en: Patrollers, Autopatrol
 * es: Patrulleros
 * pl: Redaktorzy
 * pt: Patrulheiros
 * zh: 巡查员

Comparison of Lua-based templates and non-Lua counterparts
According to Template:SimpleNavbox/doc, Lua-based templates seem to be slower than their non-Lua counterparts, contrary to the situation on Wikipedia. This might change when the Minecraft Wiki is transferred to the UCP. I want someone to prove or disprove the statement that Lua runs slower than parser functions, before and after migration to the UCP. Fadyblok240 (talk) 02:26, 3 October 2020 (UTC)
 * That template is not a useful general judgement for Lua vs. wikitext. In fact, in many cases Lua-based templates are going to be faster. In addition, with UCP we are expected to eventually get LuaSandbox, an extension that makes Lua even faster. --AttemptToCallNil (report bug, view backtrace) 04:33, 3 October 2020 (UTC)

Revert war
Today, there was Minecon. That means many edits from IPs and vandals. But today, there is problem with diffrent thing - Planned Fixes and Planned changes.

There are 2 camps now for these 2 topics. First is that, which wants to have Planned fixes on page and Planned additions on Update page.

Second (in which i am) wants to have Planned additions on page and don't have Planned fixes on page.

So to solve this problem, we can vote, because Camp 1 is now (if i am correct) violating style guide. So we could change it and don't be scared, that we will have edit wars after Update annouced.

Here are options for Planned Additions
 * 1) Have Planned Additions on Caves & Cliffs page
 * 2) Have Planned Additions on Java Edition 1.17

Options for Planned Fixes
 * 1) Have it on update page
 * 2) Have it seperate page
 * 3) Don't have it

--TreeIsLife (talk) 19:16, 3 October 2020 (UTC)


 * With Planned additions, i Option 2, and with Planned Fixes also ing Option 2. --TreeIsLife (talk) 19:16, 3 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Planned additions go on the Caves & Cliffs page for now, and is transcluded on JE & BE 1.17, but fixes are edition-specific and should go on their respective pages. <b style="border:1px solid #10a"> Nixinova </b> <b style="border:1px solid #06f"> T </b> <b style="border:1px solid #0af"> C </b></b>  19:45, 3 October 2020 (UTC)

Smash content
Hi hi. I'm not a regular editor of the Minecraft Wiki, but rather a visitor from SmashWiki, which—as you can imagine—has been busy with the reveal of Steve and company in SSBU. I was curious as to how you all are going to handle the Minecraft content in Smash. We're already linking to you on a few pages, and I've proposed making a formal partnership between wikis to higher-ups on SmashWiki, but it's still in discussion right now. I suppose right now I just want to ask and gauge interest, since there doesn't seem to be much about Smash on this wiki right now. Is Smash content something you would like to further elaborate on for the wiki, and if so, would partnership (being able to reference and cross-link us where necessary) be of any interest? DryKirby64 (talk) 00:50, 5 October 2020 (UTC)
 * There's some discussing over at Talk:Super Smash Bros., and personally I think we should indeed document it here.

Minecon Live!!
Mega-massive-ultra news for MCD!!!!

Okay that was too dramatic

1. A very important announcement was made for Minecraft: Dungeons at Minecon Live. First of all, we need renders for all of the new mobs in Howling Peaks. Second of all, we need names for the new DLC skins, we need to find out more about the new Armor, Weapons, and the Artifact.

2. They announced a Nether DLC in a Basalt Deltas Biome, Crimson Forest Biome, and more. Piglins, Blazes, and Wither Skeletons were all seen. Is there any more info?

3. They also announced an Ocean DLC. It contains tons of new mobs, but what about the special rolling mechanics? What about the other underwater features? How can the player breathe underwater? Will the Glow Squid be there?

4. End DLC. In the video, for an extremely short nano-time, I saw Archie, back in his Arch-Illager form, and still with the Orb once again, summoning mobs. Did the Ender Dragon secretly have power over the orb this whole time or something? Why is Archie evil again?

5. Obsidian Monstrosity. End or Nether DLC? If it's even going to be a mob....

So that's about it. Please answer my questions one at a time if you have answers, because my eyesight is poor. Howling Peaks (talk) 12:19, 5 October 2020 (UTC)


 * This notice would be better suited for the Dungeons wiki. Also, we probably don't need these renders until the DLC is actually released. -PancakeIdentity (talk) 23:58, 5 October 2020 (UTC)


 * Yea but i still cant wait. Also i would love it if they actually put the Obsidian Monstrosity as a boss, that would be dope. James Haydon (talk) 01:07, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

Standardizing NBT documentation tag order
Currently, NBT documentation is added in a rather arbitrary order in the tree, I'd suggest standardizing the order as much as possible.

My suggestions, either:
 * 1) Sort alphabetically, ignoring NBT type
 * 2) Sort by NBT type and then alphabetically

Opinions? Dhranios (talk) 10:13, 6 October 2020 (UTC)


 * for suggestion #1. Seems cleaner to sort alphabetically as sometimes tags may be related in name and what they are used for in-game while having different NBT types. Suggestion #2 seems impractical. -- SizableShrimp🦐  (talk ·&#32;contribs) 16:43, 7 October 2020 (UTC)

Minecraft dungeons on Xbox series x
Yesterday I went to JB Hi-Fi to get minecraft dungeons on Xbox one and on the cover of the disc holder is said compatibility for Xbox One|Xbox Series X. Can someone put the series X logo on the wiki so it can go on the dungeons page and main page. --Minecraft loot (talk) 22:04, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

Sounds Page
Should a sounds page be added, i realize all sounds are being added to pages they are caused from, but should a page with all the sounds from all versions of the game be made, as to have them all in one place, as well as on each page?-Robonate135 (T C) 17:25, 8 October 2020 (UTC)


 * In my opinion, no. The sound section is only marginally useful, it's just more data to expand the page. It's sufficient for each space (vanilla, Earth, Dungeons) to have their own sound files for things that may be common to all versions. Amatulic (talk) 06:09, 17 October 2020 (UTC)


 * I don't think this would be super useful and I'd worry about performance and load times with that many files on a single page. I'm not completely opposed to it if anyone has a good reason for it. -PancakeIdentity (talk) 18:16, 22 October 2020 (UTC)


 * Agreed, sound files take up a lot of space on pages and there is many of them on the wiki for mobs and blocks. I think having these on one page might be useful but it could be hundreds of thousands of bytes in size and could cause severe performance issues or could not load entirely. It would be useful somewhat but it would be too large and too laggy so we shouldn't. James Haydon (talk) 18:22, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
 * , mainly what said but instead of creating 1 single page, we could split it into a few pages. 1 for subtitles, and 1 for other sounds.---HumiebeeDiscuss anything with me Look at my edits 20:11, 22 October 2020 (UTC)


 * It could be made the same way Block states is done, put the sounds to a subpage (e.g Block of Quartz/Sounds) and all the sound subpages would be transcluded to a page like Sounds. – Unavailablehoax (talk) 20:22, 22 October 2020 (UTC)


 * Ill agree on that one though, just make sure they are in separate tables. James Haydon (talk) 20:31, 22 October 2020 (UTC)

WTF happened to advanced search?
Advanced search has become useless. It used to show me search results up to 500 per page. Now it's this short paginated thing that doesn't even include all results, and the pagination links don't even work.

For example, try an advanced search for all articles containing the word "epic". Scroll down and go to page 2. You can't. It goes to the rarity article.

Try a search main space for the word "now". 90 results? Just about every article on the game has history sections that include the word "now". That's hundreds of articles, not 90.

Is there a user setting somewhere that gives me back the original search? The only "improvement" here is the ability to search other wikis, which isn't relevant to me. Amatulic (talk) 02:50, 13 October 2020 (UTC)
 * I think it has to do with the fact that UCP search doesn't use CirrusSearch, which legacy Gamepedia and Wikimedia had been using. The most advanced thing you can do is filter by namespace, which means we miss out on truly advanced search parameters like insource: and regular expressions. Also, the new search only considers articles by default. Fadyblok240 (talk) 02:55, 13 October 2020 (UTC)
 * And as I mentioned, it's broken. All search results are not shown, and pagination doesn't work.
 * Bring back the original Wikimedia search! Amatulic (talk) 22:36, 14 October 2020 (UTC)
 * I don't think they're switching away from the current search (apparently they believe the original search isn't scalable or performant). Some issues with the search are known and are likely to eventually end up fixed. --AttemptToCallNil (talk) 23:04, 14 October 2020 (UTC)
 * I don't understand how the Wikimedia search, used on the busiest website on the planet, is considered non-scalable and non-performant. This new mess is not an improvement. Amatulic (talk) 05:44, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure either, nor did I read any extensive explanation for why this change happened. It's possible that Fandom running some hundreds of thousands of wikis and having different hardware constraints are important factors, but I, of course, can't have any data on that either. --AttemptToCallNil (talk) 09:31, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
 * I agree, you can't even create pages using search function, it's horrible.---HumiebeeDiscuss anything with me Look at my edits 20:36, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Yes how do you create pages now? It probably harder. James Haydon (talk) 21:15, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
 * You have to CREATE A REDLINK????? on a page such as MCW:Sandbox. This is torture.---HumiebeeDiscuss anything with me Look at my edits 21:20, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Its easy to create a redlink if you use visual editor, i just go on a small page, add a link that doesnt exist yet, open it in a new tab, and discard my edit and create the page. It may also work with source editor but you have to use the page preview button. James Haydon (talk) 21:22, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
 * minecraft.gamepedia.com/ – Unavailablehoax (talk) 21:24, 15 October 2020 (UTC)

 * I never use visual editor as it is ick, 's idea is fine and easy though.---HumiebeeDiscuss anything with me Look at my edits 02:26, 16 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Another thing is that it doesn't suggest the redirect when typing in the search bar, but instead the target page of the redirect.


 * For example, typing 'Warden' doesn't suggest the redirect Warden, but instead Caves & Cliffs. This means a user trying to find information about the Warden would have to scroll to the section, while the Warden redirect would have gone to that section automatically. – Unavailablehoax (talk) 21:47, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Yes that is really not a good thing, it makes redirects useless unless it goes to an actual page instead of a section. James Haydon (talk) 21:50, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
 * A fix at least for the no new page link is expected to come. Other fixes are definitely considered. If you have specific feedback, please send it to Zendesk (like that redirect thing) so that staff take a look. But chances are, a lot of the issues you raise here are already known. (It's useful to tell us anyway even if they just answer, "This is known". Part of the reason I wrote that list on the Help Wiki is to present the community with a centralized, if unofficial, source of issue information in the absence of a public issue system.) --AttemptToCallNil (talk) 23:33, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
 * The redirect problem has been fixed, still waiting for the page creation issue, typing Caves and Cliffs worked.---HumiebeeDiscuss anything with me Look at my edits 22:54, 16 October 2020 (UTC)
 * The pagination bug I mentioned at the top of this thread is fixed too. Advanced search for "epic" and the page links at the bottom no longer take you to the rarity article. However, erroneous search results appear, like pickaxe and sea pickle, neither of which includes the word "epic" anywhere in the article. Amatulic (talk) 06:06, 17 October 2020 (UTC)
 * The redirect bug and the create new page bug has been fixed, however there are still many other bugs such as what said, incorrect search results as well as a lack of results. Wikimedia search is not going to come back in a LONG time (most likely never)---HumiebeeDiscuss anything with me Look at my edits 01:15, 21 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Did they also stop advertising unrelated wikis in the corner, because that is annoying too. James Haydon (talk) 01:17, 21 October 2020 (UTC)
 * They did, it's still comepletly broken as when i search welcomee, it does not even show results for welcome, it just shows some random story mode episode page like ???????---HumiebeeDiscuss anything with me Look at my edits 01:22, 21 October 2020 (UTC)

Moving Minecraft Story Mode Wiki to this wiki
Hi guys. I have an idea, which we partially discussed on Minecraft Wiki Crossover Discord. So, idea is creating Namespace for Minecraft Story Mode and moving there content from https://minecraftstorymode.fandom.com. Yes, it is an active wiki, with many content, which may help this wiki.

This is in a plan of entire crossosover of wikis.

We discussed, that there should be 3 big wikis - Minecraft Wiki (with all non-community content releated to MC), FTB Wiki (for mods) and Minecraft Community Wiki (Creepypastas, Servers, buildings, etc.)

So, what do you think about migrating Story Mode Wiki? --TreeIsLife (talk) 14:23, 11 November 2020 (UTC)


 * Having it be kept under a namespace is basically the only thing I'm bothered about. Otherwise, go ahead. - User-12316399 (talk) 14:25, 11 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Well, unfortunatly, it is not so easy as you think. So, there is need for both sides to agree. And as the Wiki has users, who are still contributing, i cannot just force users. I know that, because i already merged 1 community and it took 1 month, to just start it. And it compleated 1.5 months later, with wiki being locked.
 * And wiki is somewhat active. --TreeIsLife (talk) 15:52, 11 November 2020 (UTC)
 * So, when comparing to this number of content + users, it may take 2 or 3 months. But, if not using Discord, maybe just few weeks.--TreeIsLife (talk) 14:36, 11 November 2020 (UTC)
 * , mainly for the reason that story mode is discontinued and it would take a lot of work, and I also adding a separate namespace. Also, the pages themselves will probably gain no traction for readers and editors anyways.Humiebee (talk) 15:45, 11 November 2020 (UTC)
 * It is just merging for better SEO results, because all Gamepedia wikis will migrate to fandom.com domain early 2021. And this is reason, why i am making a subpage with project crossover. --TreeIsLife (talk) 15:50, 11 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Changed to and  per below.Humiebeetalk contribs 21:28, 13 November 2020 (UTC)
 * There is already a project about adding minecraft story mode content i believe, but i dont think there is enough to constitute for its own namespace and sub wiki. I think it should have it content put on the main wiki marked with minecraft story mode in the title. James Haydon (talk) 19:03, 11 November 2020 (UTC)
 * (I think we are getting from the main path - theme). So, i am talking about Wiki, not sub-wiki, which is on Fandom! There are over 300 pages, which makes it big enough to have its own namespace. Next time, use pls term Main page, as main wiki is Minecraft Wiki, as a name, and you probably meant main page. Yes, now, we have like 3 articles, but with this, we can boost wiki with many content. --TreeIsLife (talk) 19:11, 11 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Okay so if we are going to make a namespace it should be MSM, the acronym for Minecraft Story Mode. James Haydon (talk) 19:13, 11 November 2020 (UTC)
 * No, we don't use shortcuts as namespaces, only aliases. It would be "Minecraft Story Mode" or "Story Mode" with alias MCSM or SM respectively, to match dungeons and earth (MCD MCE, not MD ME). Dhranios (talk) 19:35, 11 November 2020 (UTC)
 * I personally, the reason being that it's a Minecraft game and should be on the Minecraft wiki. I don't know how many other people would want to contribute. Maybe if we contacted the people in the Fandom Wiki they would be up to helping. There is currently a request move on my user page for a Story Mode exclusive features for an official page. If nothing else, we could at least have that. https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/User:Yekulten/Story_mode_exclusive_features Yekulten (talk) 12:35, 12 November 2020 (UTC)
 * moving Story Mode content to this wiki. This would improve the main Minecraft wiki by making it more comprehensive, and could even bring in new readers and editors.

Process
So, i see great support, and first admin respond, and he has no concerns 🙂, except User groups changes. So, our questions are:

On MCW Crossover, it has been already discussed, and there was result of re-vote. That will mean, we will start vote about them.
 * User groups

We can use any bot
 * Bot

Well, best will be as soon, as possible
 * When?

All it should in Minecraft Story Mode namespace. Its alias should be MCSM?
 * Content

What do you think? And if there is something to add, add it!

--TreeIsLife (talk) 14:35, 16 November 2020 (UTC)
 * So basically, what are we doing? Is there a project page? If so, we should have one. Then what do we do? Basically copy paste the content from the fandom? I agree with the namespaces Minecraft Story Mode: and Minecraft Story Mode Talk:, but I am currently undecided on its alias.

Herobrine page
Hi guys. After suggestion from discussion on Discord about crossover, we ran to problem with a page Herobrine. As Herobrine is community made, but really noticed by Mojang Staff, it makes us thinking, if we should keep this page or not?

An observation: "Random Page" is quite unlikely to get anything useful
Out of 10 tries, I observed exactly one that was about gameplay (Netherite Scrap), one about about a rule (Minecraft Dungeons:rarity), and one about a data file (level.dat) The remainder consisted of two short summaries of not-very-notable employees and FIVE short summaries of specific platform edition numbers. This suggests that there's a lot of room to clean up or combine near-useless pages so the average random page is likely to teach something interesting or spark an interesting session of following links; the cleanup of, especially, the specific platform versions ought to be accessible to a simple script to combine them all, depending on what tech underlies the wiki. --Realweregamer (talk) 03:57, 14 November 2020 (UTC)

 * Yes, Special:Random does give version articles a lot, but that's not a bad thing, because there are a lot of version numbers. They shouldn't be combined because each version article can contain a lot of content. Special:Random isn't meant to be "useful", and there are index pages for them like Version history. <b style="border:1px solid #10a"> Nixinova </b> <b style="border:1px solid #06f"> T </b> <b style="border:1px solid #0af"> C </b></b>  23:45, 16 November 2020 (UTC)
 * The link uses Special:RandomRootPage which excludes subpages. Some of these subpages are considered to be articles e.g. Java Edition version history/Development versions but others are like templates (e.g.Dirt/BS) We should move all article subpages to root pages or move all non-article subpages into template namespace and reconfigure the link so that it could link to subpages. This won't fix the problem entirely, but it could help. Also, why is it called "Random page" instead of "Random article"? Fadyblok240 (talk) 00:56, 21 November 2020 (UTC)

Make some templates more reader-friendly
Some templates such as more images and infobox without an an image parameter cause unnecessary clutter for readers. Since only registered users can upload files, readers cannot address the problems presented by these templates. To provide a cleaner look for some articles, I propose moving templates like more images to talk pages or hiding them from readers by using a CSS class. For infoboxes, removing the placeholder image at least for readers would reduce whitespace. Also, the delete template has a "delete" link that only administrators can use, so I am considering hiding it from non-admins, which also requires a CSS class. Fadyblok240 (talk) 00:26, 22 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Hiding content with CSS is generally not a good idea and preferably avoided. For one, Google finds it anyway, and this might incur SEO penalties. While most readers never become editors, and it's unlikely such templates get a lot of readers make their first uploads, I feel it's not the best idea in terms of "wiki way" to hide content from unregistered users. In addition, I'm not sure there are easy CSS classes to do things based on group preferences, so that might need to be spread across multiple CSS files (MediaWiki:Group-sysop.css). (Note also delete links are useful for SOAP and maybe even WMs/staff, who also might need to act on deletion templates, but aren't necessarily local admins. This means the link would need to be hidden based on user rights, not group membership, which I'm not sure can be done easily.)
 * In other terms, the presented solution, doesn't seem like a substantial problem, but incurs other problems and seems to require a rather complicated solution.
 * As an additional idea, maybe move editor-facing message boxes like more images to the bottom of pages? --AttemptToCallNil (talk) 01:25, 22 November 2020 (UTC)
 * moving notice templates to the bottom of pages becuase then editors would not even see the notice template at all. If possible, notcie templates can be hidden from ip's as readers would probably not register an account without editing. What is the "wiki way" anyways? As for the orginal proposal, I am per Humiebeetalk contribs 02:36, 25 November 2020 (UTC)
 * By "wiki way" here I meant the idea that editing should be open to unregistered users, and they should be treated as potential editors instead of just readers. --AttemptToCallNil (talk) 02:57, 25 November 2020 (UTC)
 * True, though a possible solution is to do it based on edits. 1 edit means ips AND users are able to see notice templates. This shows that they are an editor.Humiebeetalk contribs 03:03, 25 November 2020 (UTC)

Cleanup of the docs of Bedrock Edition add-ons articles: Request 1
I want to contribute by fixing up all the scripting and layouting of articles related to add-ons and the Bedrock Edition add-on/resource pack/behavior pack documentation. My first request is a page split of the Bedrock Edition scripting documentation as there is a lot of information there. I said the following on the talk page of that article:

I am suggesting that we split these into separate pages under the Bedrock Edition scripting documentation umbrella. This is because programming documentation has a lot of headings, subheadings and such, this page is really diving deep. So I suggest the following:


 * Scripting system will remain on the landing page: Bedrock Edition scripting documentation
 * Script API objects will be in Bedrock Edition scripting documentation/Script API objects
 * Script bindings will be in Bedrock Edition scripting documentation/Script bindings
 * Script components and User-Defined Components will be in Bedrock Edition scripting documentation/Script components
 * Script events will be in Bedrock Edition scripting documentation/Script events

Feel free to share any thoughts on this.

Or maybe some other way to fix that particular article, as there is no style guide that is related to programming, let alone JavaScript documentation (according to my knowledge). YivanGamer (talk) 06:41, 3 December 2020 (UTC)

Redirect capitalization
Currently, we are allowed to make lowercase redirects that point to their uppercase articles. However, it is unclear whether we should create uppercase redirects to articles with lowercase titles.

Moving the remaining orientable block renders to use the current naming system
Currently just about all blocks which can connect (e.g. iron bars, redstone wire) or be oriented (e.g. furnaces, pistons) directionally share a consistent naming system. However, a notable exception is blocks with log orientation, which still use an Axis orientation. I've marked all of these for moving but have been instructed to ask about this here.

Advantages of moving:
 * More consistent with other block files with directional placement
 * Considerably easier to memorise as a result (with few exceptions, all block renders have north-west as the upwards direction, meaning up-left is west and up-right is north; with the Axis naming you'd need to also consider which axis corresponds to which direction, which wastes time and also changed throughout the game's history)
 * Has allowed some remaining files which didn't follow the remaining parts of the naming scheme to be identified and fixed

Disadvantages of moving:
 * Not consistent with the block's actual block state naming (probably not relevant as if we were to keep to being completely consistent with block states, rails for example would have to be moved to names such as "Rail Shape North South JEx BEy")

Other things to note:
 * Some blocks had an "Axis None" orientation Chiseled Quartz Block Axis None BE1.png Chiseled Quartz Block Axis None BE2.png Quartz Pillar Axis None BE1.png Quartz Pillar Axis None BE2.png Purpur Pillar Axis None BE1.png Purpur Pillar Axis None BE2.png Hay Bale Axis None JE1 BE1.png Hay Bale Axis None BE2.png Bone Block Axis None BE1.png Bone Block Axis None BE2.png and their new file names after this unification may be unclear. However, this exact same thing affects some files which already use the intended new naming scheme Hexahedral Piston.png Hexahedral Sticky Piston.png Weird Piston.png, so this is likely worth a separate, smaller discussion.
 * Whether this move is or isn't worth the time/effort is effectively irrelevant, as the move templates will need to be deleted from several talk pages anyway, which would take roughly the same amount of time and both outcomes will likely be performed by a bot/other form of automation anyway

Are there any good enough reasons this move shouldn't go ahead? - User-12316399 (talk) 13:27, 30 December 2020 (UTC)


 * I personally think we should follow the block states. Writing them out fully is not needed (EG drop the "Axis" from the current files), but we should not change the naming completely. What bothers me right now, for example, is the cauldrons "Cauldron (moderately filled with water)" (instead of "Water Cauldron Level 2" (level can be dropped per previous sentence)), which is absolutely nothing like the actual state of the block. Your rail example (Rail Shape North South) could be simplified to Rail NS, that would still follow the block states, just using a shorter variation.
 * This "and also changed throughout the game's history" has never actually happened, it was correcting where the sun came from, the axis themselves weren't changed, and never will.
 * Keep in mind that being aligned to the north-south axis is not the same as facing north or south. Dhranios (talk) (Join the wiki videos project!) 19:38, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Just got an issue with the naming system that you're trying to apply. For rails, is Ns ascending north, or ascending south? Changing the rail file links from Ns nS Ew and eW to A for "Ascending " it is a lot more clear which is which. Dhranios (talk) (Join the wiki videos project!) 21:41, 30 December 2020 (UTC)

Consistency in "Pre-Release" Capitalization

 * The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.
 * Article titles should follow the official name. Pre-release and Pre-Release spelling appear in different dates. However, feel free to create redirects from r -> R and vise versa.Humiebeetalk contribs 21:25, 10 January 2021 (UTC)

While editing the server.properties page, I noticed that there is considerable inconsistency in how "Pre-Release" is capitalized across the wiki. Some pages choose to uppercase the "R" in "Release", some do not. Some choose to redirect the opposite case, some do not.

For example, 1.14.4 Pre-Release 1 is an uppercase "R" and trying to navigate to "1.14.4 Pre-release 1" fails. On the other hand, 1.16.4 Pre-release 1 is a lowercase "r", and trying to navigate to "1.16.4 Pre-Release 1" similarly fails. Some pages (e.g. 1.15 Pre-release 5) have a redirect but many do not. The net effect of this is that editors have no idea which capitalization is "correct", or even which one will work correctly. It leads to overall inconsistency and unnecessary redirects across the Wiki.

My suggestion is for the Wiki to come to a consensus on which capitalization should be used. Personally, I feel that "Pre-Release" with an uppercase "R" should be preferred, as that is what Mojang uses in its official communications. Once consensus is reached, incorrect pages should be moved to the correct title, and any errant capitalization in article bodies fixed.

Something discussing renewability of the Lava Bucket and other items that are not renewable in snapshots but are going to be in the full release
Yes, I know that the ip constantly got reverted for changing it, they did have a good point but the wiki uses current status, not upcoming status. The ip got reverted with understandable edit summaries and I personally would revert the ip. They were doing it in good-faith though. Something odd about that is that the template is the upcoming template, implying that the thing that is upcoming IS upcoming in. In the case of 1.17, the full release. Now the wiki trys to be as informative as possible and trys to give the reader a clear understanding. In my opinion, I am. It would be confusing for the reader if they watched like say for example, xisumavoid and went to the minecraft wiki. They would notice that the renewability of lava buckets would be incorrect, misleading the reader.

Proposal for a Crossovers page, replacing the current Smash page
I talk about this more on Talk:Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, but since that page doesn't get much traffic for obvious reasons, I thought I'd bring it up here.

My argument boils down to it making more sense than adding a new page for every game that references Minecraft, and being more consistent to what Wiki readers might expect and enjoy. Thoughts? -- DigiDuncan (talk) 00:14, 1 February 2021 (UTC)

Articles about Mojang employees: A proposal
Reviving both this discussion from 2015 and this discussion from 2019-2020, I feel like it should finally be time to take action regarding articles about Mojang employees, whether they are notable or not. I'm using the as a blueprint for this, so bear with me here.


 * We should try to include as much information on employees that is publicly available through reliable sources, whether it be through LinkedIn profiles, interviews with publications such as news sites, or simply through the Twitter accounts of the employees themselves. As long as the information is available publicly, it should be documented on the wiki, sourced back to the article or tweet in question.


 * However, there has to be a limit as to what information should indeed be allowed on here. Of course, its general understanding that emails, addresses, and phone numbers are never to be added to articles out of respect for privacy. In regards to concessions that have been made in the past, such as the situation with Ez, or retracting information that had been OK up until recently, such concessions should be reviewed as to whether they should remain as is, or be considered null and void pending as to when this policy does become active.

Understanding that this is a style guide policy, I figured it would be best to instead post it here, considering that this policy would cover several hundreds of employees of one company.

The proposed change to the policy is as follows, which would be separated from the "Notability" section and split into its own section (new additions in bold):

This is just a stepping stone. I am open to any additional input regarding any further changes to this. BDJP (t 19:19, 2 February 2021 (UTC)
 * I still think this should be taken further, and say that articles should only exist for notable employees where the majority of the content is about their work. We shouldn't encourage going into details about personal lives and such, which having all these stub articles does. <b style="border:1px solid #10a"> Nixinova </b> <b style="border:1px solid #06f"> T </b> <b style="border:1px solid #0af"> C </b></b>  19:29, 2 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Definitely keep the personal life stuff to a minimum at best. BDJP (t 20:42, 2 February 2021 (UTC)
 * In my opinion, we should keep any pages that have a lot of content (pages without stubs) but pages with stubs should be put into like a draft. Anyone is free to make a page but it needs more content. As for not having like personal details, I also support that but a notable exception would be Helen Zbihlyj as she directly put a little bit of her personal life on her user page as it is a primary and the most reliable source possible. I would like the employee pages to also have more about their work as well and all those stub articles can be clumped into an Employees article.
 * All in all, I keeping all pages which have enough content and  any pages with a stub and have no content (for instance, Peter Hont which is just one of the many pages that has no info, only saying that they work in .) For birth dates, I really don't see any harm if they posted it on  or some other social media thing. Also I wish to  all pages with no sources as well.Humiebee (talk) 21:35, 2 February 2021 (UTC)

Are pufferfish passive, neutral or hostile
Personally, I think that pufferfish are passive because they can't chase you but some users change "Passive" to "Neutral" or "Hostile". Are pufferfish passive, neutral or hostile? TheGreatSpring (talk) 08:08, 7 February 2021 (UTC)

Minecraft Story Mode NS
Hi

We already discussed about Minecraft Earth and Minecraft Dungeons namespaces, but i think we still miss "Minecraft: Story Mode" namespace. This namespace was already discussed in "Moving Minecraft Story Mode Wiki to this wiki", but as Minecraft Story Mode Wiki discussion was really not great, and it failed, we were exploring possibility of exporting articles from "Fandom's Minecraft Wiki". But unfortunately, these will also need rewrite. So, articles are created manually, as stubs, which will need to expand.

So, we have to create these articles by ourselves. Unfortunately, we won't be able to beat Minecraft Story Mode Wiki, until we will have own namespace, and own production of articles.

On Google, we ended really far from top, on 5th place. On Bing, we were more successful, reaching 3rd, but on both searches, MC Story Mode Wiki was on top.

So, should we create Minecraft Story Mode NS?--TreeIsLife (talk) 19:05, 13 February 2021 (UTC)


 * We have pretty bad situation, on Google, even Fandom's MCW has higher ranking, so we are in bad situation --TreeIsLife (talk) 19:05, 13 February 2021 (UTC)


 * . It has been some months since the discussion, but I think that we should contact first their admins. I don't want them to think that we try to compete with them, instead to colaborate. Your words look very competitive, which isn't how this wiki wants to get information. We talk with people, and try to get a deal with them to make both parts happy. So, I think that we should wait 2 months more at least to begin talking with them again, because they refused to merge due to bad communication. Thejoaqui777 (talk) 19:21, 13 February 2021 (UTC)
 * , I agree with, why are you making this a competition? MC wiki isnt a promotion wiki. Minecraft Story Mode is a WIP and the Minecraft Story Mode in FANDOM is fine, what makes you think that MC wiki is a promotional wiki? I also per my comment on the previous discussion. I'm fine with the namespace but not trying to outmanuver fandom, gamepedia is owned by fandom anywaysHumiebee (talk) 19:25, 13 February 2021 (UTC)
 * This, this, this, this, this, this and this. It's not a competition. This exact behavior is what made the initial merge proposal fail badly. Dhranios (talk) (Join the wiki videos project!) 19:33, 13 February 2021 (UTC)
 * to all. This is not about competition. We tried... but... it did not go well. Hummie may not know about that, but there is great server, called Minecraft Wiki Crossover, where we discussed future of MC Wikis (all of them). We had a big dream. 3 big wikis for everything Minecraft - Minecraft Wiki, Minecraft Community Wiki and Minecraft Mods Wiki. And, we wanted to start with merging of all wikis from "Minecraft Wiki Network" into this wiki. Anddddd... I created discussion post, and we had protest on that wiki. I was critized about how i wrote it, and that i wrote it into discussions. Then, i decided i will left server, and do discussion by myself. So great, i had another conflict on another wiki (double problem). Unfortunately, discussion just failed and that's it. And now everybody hates me 😔. That was joke, obviously, I said it was my fault, and we discussed we won't say nothing to community, until we will lock the wiki (meaning only discussing with admins). And now, let's say why i want to do this. Well, they are inactive and only 1 person said something, but his timestamp between answers were 1 week.--TreeIsLife (talk) 19:41, 13 February 2021 (UTC)

Minicraft?
There are 5 Minecraft games: Minecraft, Minecraft Story Mode, Minecraft Earth and Minecraft Dungeons and, Minicraft. They all have page(s) other than Minicraft witch only has 1 reference on the whole wiki.

 * Well, 0x10c has its own wiki page, and yet it isn't a minecraft related game, it was developed by mojang, but wasn't really minecraft-like. James Haydon (talk) 23:23, 13 February 2021 (UTC)
 * But it was made by Notch, and has a lot of things from Minecraft (such as creepers), even the name is based on Minecraft --Gtbot2007 (talk) 23:53, 13 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Minicraft already has a page, but it is a redirect. Fadyblok240 (talk) 01:26, 14 February 2021 (UTC)
 * I guess because it wasn't developed by mojang unlike 0x10c and it wasn't nearly publicized as much. Makes sense why it doesn't have its own page. James Haydon (talk) 01:30, 14 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Redirects are pages too. Fadyblok240 (talk) 02:58, 14 February 2021 (UTC)
 * By page I meant articles, no need to correct me about that. James Haydon (talk) 18:41, 14 February 2021 (UTC)
 * But its a minecraft game unlike 0x10c
 * The reason I felt the need to create the 0x10c page is because, unlike other games made by Notch or Mojang, you can't actually play it because it never came out, and so it doesn't have a wiki of its own (not anymore anyway). Now, on the other hand, Minicraft is a game you can play and it does have its own wiki, but, keep in mind, it is technically an official Minecraft spinoff game, and all the other official Minecraft spinoffs get to be on this wiki, so why not that one too? Plus the Minicraft wiki is really messy and incomplete, so I definitely wouldn't be opposed to something better being added to this wiki. AlienAgent124 (talk) 03:08, 14 February 2021 (UTC)
 * This is what I mean --172.58.228.82 09:27, 14 February 2021 (UTC)

Pocket/Bedrock Edition version pages
As the title, the Chinese Wiki is also disussing the same problem. See here.

Here, the problem is slightly different. It's mainly about version nav.

The documentation doesn't mention the usage of parameter. The number filled in this parameter shouldn't called "Internal version no.", and it should be "Full version no.". The correct "Internal version no." is a long string of numbers in file  or in something else. "Full version no." is also in the file. For example, the Internal version no. of Pocket Edition 1.1.3 is 871010352 and the Full version no. is 1.1.3.52. Some of the pages on the Wiki need to split according to this, because we found that some apk files of very old version that shows the same Full version no. but they have different Internal version numbers.

About the articles, Style guide says that "naming specification is currently under discussion", but it was shelved obviously. Some version pages is different from the naming specification it stated. Also, MCW:SG/V needs to update.

In addition, The Chinese wiki is discussing renaming Bedrock/Pocket Edition version articles, and we are having an argument about if development versions should have "beta" or "alpha" on their names. Some people think that "the version number is for distinction", and they suggest to delete all the parts in the title that are not useful for distinction, include "alpha/beta" and "v" (the abbreviation of word "version"). Articles like "Bedrock Edition 1.16.210.59" or "Pocket Edition 0.10.0.b9" is enough to explain it's a development version, does not need to be like "Bedrock Edition beta 1.16.210.59" or "Pocket Edition v0.10.0 alpha build 9". The articles don't need to be exactly the same as shown in game, just like we don't name the page Java Edition 21w06a "Java Edition Minecraft 21w06a/snapshot".

If we changed the articles, the parameter and  of version nav also need to be changed. Do you think it's necessary?--  |  Talk · Contributions · Logs  08:00, 14 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Necessary, no, but it is a change I'd support. The only thing is that bedrock's beta builds aren't as distinguishable from the full build, compared to java's snapshots; betas only have 1 additional ".X", unlike snapshots which use a vastly different naming altogether. Dhranios (talk) (Join the wiki videos project!) 08:36, 14 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Oppose new naming scheme (the example given isn't actually relevant, the "/snapshot" isn't part of the version), and "beta" is useful for disambiguating. "The articles don't need to be exactly the same as shown in game"; they are though. Support parameter rename. <b style="border:1px solid #10a"> Nixinova </b> <b style="border:1px solid #06f"> T </b> <b style="border:1px solid #0af"> C </b></b>  18:55, 14 February 2021 (UTC)

Extension to Style Guide

 * Related discussion in Wiki Discord (2021-02-14)

As the dungeons wiki continues to expand there has become a desire and a need for a Style Guide that caters specificity to aspects that likely are not evident in general MCW pages or MC and MCE wikis. WIth MCD:Flames of the Nether and a large free update rapidly approaching bring a large quantity of new content, I believe it would be beneficial if we had something to guide Dungeons editors, including myself, to ensure consistency, convenience, and quality of pages and files.

This specific style guide can touch upon image naming schemes for dungeons equipment images (See: User:Raybeano99/MCD_EquipStyle), common page layouts for general articles, equipment articles, mission articles ect., inform about commonly used templates and appropriate scale values for using them, and probably much ,much more that I, myself, have not even thought about. Preferably, this is to be viewed as an extension with tweaks upon the existing MCW:STYLE rather than a transcluded/duplicated page with some modifications. I have a few ideas on how this could be implemented:

Style 1 - Append onto existing MCW:STYLE page.
 * A new section could be created and enveloped within a distinctive #f4efe6 coloured box and text to ensure viewers recognise that the contained information is specific for the Dungeons WIki. Alternately, dungeons specific information are appended onto existing sections and subsections.
 * Clear that the information is an extension rather than a replacement or equivalent.
 * Centralised - Come one, come all, all ye need lies within a single page of wonderful info.
 * Most exposure to all editors of the wiki - More feedback, critique, and viewpoints from editors to ensure that the style guide is constructed up to a high standard. Also more users are likely to view it.
 * Flow, bit of a double edge - Centralised page would allow the whole MCW:STYLE to be read without trying to find other places for info. However, this may flow too well. Users may not recognise the section as dungeons specific, even with crystal clear visual elements and text, and apply the information onto non-dungeons pages, or miss/disregard the information altogether.
 * Expansion concerns - The existing style guide may become formidably long over time as the dungeons specific section expands and adds detail.

Style 2 - A subpage of MCW:STYLE.
 * A page to contain the dungeons specific information. linked by a visually-distinct hatnote on the MCW:STYLE.
 * Still clear that the information is an extension rather than a replacement or equivalent.
 * Expansion concerns are no longer a concern.
 * Flow concerns mitigated - Information not all in one place thus the distinction that the information is for dungeons specifically is more clear.
 * Moderate exposure to all editors of the wiki - Likely less exposure than style 1.
 * There must certainly be a clear negative somewhere but I am unable to think of one.
 * ,   perhaps?

Style 3 - A page within the Minecraft Dungeons namespace.
 * A page to contain the dungeons specific information close to home in the dungeons. linked by a visually-distinct hatnote on the MCW:STYLE.
 * Style - All the visual glory of the dungeons is applied onto the page.
 * Expansion concerns are no longer a concern.
 * Flow concerns mitigated - Information not all in one place thus the distinction that the information is for dungeons specifically is undoubtedly clear, especially with the dungeons namespace.
 * Least exposure to all editors of the wiki - Probably less exposure than style 1 or style 2.
 * Probably another negative exists but I am unable to think of one.
 * perhaps?

I have personal preference for the dungeons style guide extension to become its own page in some form that style 2 and  style 3 provides.

Raybeano99 (talk) 09:45, 16 February 2021 (UTC)
 * 🤔 Would this lead to further specificity for other MCW pages such as the portal, tasks and projects? Would that be a concern? Could further pages make things more cumbersome and difficult?


 * Style 1
 * I don't fully agree with this approach. Pertaining to keeping different kind of information simultaneously can be difficult to navigate and may lead to some confusion. A similar problem to this is the difference of information between Java and Bedrock. So as to resolve, the community decided to use in/only whenever the provided information contain disparities. This solution should not be used in terms of information that are fundamental to the wiki, like style guides. Another solution such as adding a background color or new section wouldn't help as much. Furthermore, similar styling to background color has already been defined and it requires new knowledge for people to realize the distinction.
 * Style 2
 * I totally agree in separating the page from the main style guide. By separating the page, there will be more freedom for expansion whilst not polluting the current page with MCD guides. Regarding misdirections, they are enough to be resolved by using a hat note or message box. For page name, I would say that Minecraft_Wiki:Style_guide/Minecraft_Dungeons is good enough.
 * Style 3
 * It would be more appropriate to put meta information in the Minecraft Wiki namespace. As for MCD:Style, I guess it can be used as a redirect to the MCW namespace for shortcut. Also I wouldn't personally be bothered with the design aspect of the page.
 * In addition, I feel like the sidebar could have the style guide to link specifically when you are in the MCD namespace. Thus resolving the concern of exposure of the page, especially to MCD editors. Other maintenance/community pages like community portal, projects, etc. shouldn't be a concern, at least for now. – ItsPlantseed ⟨₰|₢⟩ 11:20, 16 February 2021 (UTC)

Centralised Datapage

 * Related discussion in Wiki Discord (2021-02-04)

In the Dungeons namespace, there are multiple pages that duplicate the same information that must be kept updated, consistently styled, and worded correctly. For instance: Some of these pages present the information in different styles to match the context of these pages.
 * MCD:Enchanting, MCD:Weapon, MCD:Armor, and MCD:Artifact share the same information with the main pages for the individual pages of the specified thing (ie: MCD:Burning, MCD:Sword, MCD:Crossbow, MCD:Grim Armor) and, with respect to equipment, MCD:Drops, MCD:Daily Trials, the main page for a individual location (ie: MCD:Creeper Woods) and, in future, MCD:Difficulty to an extent.

To make numerous edits across multiple pages is tiring, time-consuming, introduces error, and new editors may be unaware of the different information location. A centralised place to edit this frequently used information will be immensely helpful. One edit to induce into many edits. I am unaware on how to construct such a thing and implement it in a way that is accessible to locate, trivial to edit, future-proof, and easy to implement into pages.

Please share your thoughts on this and how such a thing could be constructed. A dedicated Sandbox page with subpages could be created for testing purposes. Raybeano99 (talk) 09:45, 16 February 2021 (UTC)

Wiki channel in the Official Dungeons Discord
This is a thought that has been swimming around in my mind for some time. The Dungeons wiki does not have a huge quantity of editors that are immensely experienced with the game and its internals. There is also, unfortunately, a partial community consensus that any dungeons wikis are untrustworthy and information from them is to be treated with caution. This is something we need to resolve and gain the trust in the community. The Official Dungeons Discord hosts a large quantity (but not overwhelmingly large!) of experienced players that educate, advise, and guide others but are unfamiliar with wiki editing. I believe there to be a fiction when learning how to edit the wiki with there being a few places to learn such with huge exposure. This wiki, MediaWiki Wiki, Help Wiki and the MCW:Discord (side note: I am very glad the wiki hosts a Discord Server.) are all brilliant places to start learning how to wiki edit however, they are not frequently seen or you need to ask around and explore to find them.

As a moderator of the dungeons discord, I have been able to internally propose the idea of a wiki dedicated channel - a place for dungeons folk to comfortably discuss wiki pages and information without worrying about unintentionally misinforming other players or being disruptive to existing channels. Information and links directing to wiki rules, help wikis, frequently used templates, and some wiki editing tools (ie: the generate spreadsheet on User:Raybeano99 userpage) will be made available as a pinned message. Speculation and general chat will not be permitted in the channel and will be held to a high standard. Specialised roles have not been discussed and will be handled internally. The internal proposition was to gain feedback and thoughts from the rest of the admins and the moderators before establishing further communications. Unfortunately, the response turnout has been unexpectedly low however, none have made an explicit deny to the channel implementation. Hence me making communications here to gain your thoughts whether ye be a passer-by, an editor, admin or above to ignite the idea again. I am in belief that implementation would not immediately yield desired output... could be slow, could be nothing, maybe something worth the attempt. Can always be removed quicker than the time taken to make the channel. Reverting and backtracking is not a concern

Raybeano99 (talk) 09:45, 16 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Exposure - More people experienced with the game will be informed of the wiki's existence and can contribute! This could also increase the frequency of disruptive, defacing edits.
 * New place to learn - Another place for editors to gain assistance from other editors.
 * Communication fragmentation - This, personally, is a huge concern. Could be mitigated by instructing users to provide the discord message link of the first substantial message in a conversation in the talk page of the page in discussion.
 * 🤔 What about Wiki Discord's #dungeons-wiki channel? - Something to be considered is if the implementation of a wiki channel on the official discord would have any impact on the existing Wiki Discord.
