Delete Bedrock Edition 1.4
Could you please delete Bedrock Edition 1.4? It's currently marked for deletion, but if you look at the history, you'll notice that IP addresses will not stop removing the deletion template and adding "Error, Bedrock Edition 1.4 upcoming in 2018." (It's happened a total of 10 times) There is no reference that there ever will be a Bedrock Edition 1.4, so I think it would be very helpful if the page could be deleted, and then be protected against creation. Thanks!-- Madminecrafter12 Talk • Contributions 16:17, 3 February 2018 (UTC)


 * It's almost certainly a single person - and almost certainly the same person who was previously creating that page and the other fictitious update pages to boot. I've deleted the page and salted it for a year. 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 17:46, 3 February 2018 (UTC)

Add script to MediaWiki:Common.js
The following script will fix the IE style bug in Minecraft Wiki/editcopy:  if(!!window.MSInputMethodContext && !!document.documentMode) { // https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21825157/internet-explorer-11-detection $('body.page-Minecraft_Wiki_editcopy #iefix').css('max-width', '1px'); $('body.page-Minecraft_Wiki #iefix').css('max-width', '1px'); } Can you add it to MediaWiki:Common.js? Thanks! – ITechieGamertce 10:47, 14 February 2018 (UTC)


 * What style bug is this exactly? Can you get a screenshot of it? Does it only affect IE 11? 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 11:27, 14 February 2018 (UTC)


 * Here's what the Minecraft Wiki homepage currently looks like in Internet Explorer: https://i.imgur.com/7R559NA.png. By adding the script mentioned to MediaWiki:Common.js, it will fix that bug. I don't know if only IE 11 is affected.


 * By the way, the script mentioned will add the  style to the HTML element tagged with the   ID. – ITechieGamertce 04:56, 17 February 2018 (UTC)

This protection will not stand
Could you please remove all move protection from Snow (layer)? "Top snow" is indeed an official name, as that's what it is called in Bedrock Edition. MarcelTheHippie (talk • contribs • logs&#32;• block log) 🐷🥕☮️ 20:31, 19 February 2018 (UTC)


 * Not until the move has been discussed on the talk page and consensus has been reached for it. In particular, as long as the name is not "top snow" in Java Edition, I can't see a compelling argument for renaming. 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 20:35, 19 February 2018 (UTC)


 * In response to your self-reverted edit, no single person has the ability to dictate a new title for an article which already has a well-established and supported title. As I said before, if you want the page renamed, establish consensus for the rename via a discussion on its talk page. 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 04:39, 10 March 2018 (UTC)


 * I don't want the title to be changed; I simply want the move protection to be eradicated so that we non-admin editors can easily move the page ourselves if the in-game name ever changes in the future (without having to beg you guys first). You instated it after just one attempted rename, and I therefore consider it to be a wild overreaction that created an unnecessary obstacle to wiki maintenance. What do you think? MarcelTheHippie (talk • contribs • logs&#32;• block log) 🐷🥕☮️ 06:23, 10 March 2018 (UTC)


 * Move-protecting pages with a well-established name in response to a single undiscussed rename is pretty standard operating procedure in my experience. The names of things do not generally change very often, so usually such protections do not inconvenience anyone but those looking to short-circuit the consensus process. If you disagree with the move protection in this particular instance, you're free to bring it to the admin noticeboard to get other admins' opinions on it, and again, if you can establish consensus for a rename on the page's talk page, the move will be performed regardless. 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 07:55, 10 March 2018 (UTC)

Sorry
Sorry about that, I was in a mood. I feel the need to point out Wikipedia is a perfectly cromulent source. I used it because it's very accessible to the general public. The only reason I didn't use it for one source was because I found the Wikipedia article on the subject inadequate.--Giammod (talk) 01:27, 10 March 2018 (UTC)


 * Wikipedia is not an acceptable source, because it is a tertiary source, and because it uses an "anybody can edit" model (as most wikis do); see Wikipedia's own essay on the topic for more information. That being said, a source isn't really required to say the different coral types resemble certain real-life corals, though offering links (to Wikipedia or otherwise) which feature pictures of the real-life corals would help (though in this case, if you link to Wikipedia, it would be better to link directly to the image description pages on Wikimedia Commons than to a Wikipedia article). 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 04:36, 10 March 2018 (UTC)


 * Fair enough. Again: Sorry about all that, and thank you for your patience. Sometimes you have to take a couple paces aback and decide, "is this really the hill I want to die on: Coral phylogeny in Minecraft?" lol…--Giammod (talk) 17:32, 10 March 2018 (UTC)

Ukrainian Wiki
Hi Dinoguy, I'm one of the contributors "The Project Of The Ukrainian Translation". The question is that-how many articles need to be translated to get domain (minecraft-uk.gamepedia.com)? I'll wait for your answer -- The nix18 (talk) 12:28, 1 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Hi The nix18, sorry for not responding sooner!
 * According to the translation guidelines on the Help wiki, the usual metric is that the main page and a handful of other pages have to be translated, and there needs to be someone willing to be an admin for the new wiki. In our case, though, I believe our last batch of translated wikis were created without requiring any extra pages to be translated, just the main page (though I'd definitely recommend to have some other pages translated too, first). When you think you've met the requirements, ask game widow, our current wiki manager and Curse liaison, to get things set up for you. Good luck! 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 08:21, 4 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Hi there. Additionally, this wiki is one of the largest we have, so I do hope you have a team to help you as a single person is unlikely to ever be able to translate this entire wiki single-handedly — Game widow (talk) 11:40, 4 April 2018 (UTC)

Noob Problems
Hello, your user page says you've been around the block (no Minecraft pun intended) a couple times, and I suck at source editing, so could you let me in on some basic Wiki lingo? Is it a common coding language (if so, CSS, right?), or is it something unique to Gamepedia?

Twh minecrafter (talk) 00:45, 4 April 2018 (UTC)Twh_minecrafter
 * I'm not Dinoguy1000, but I can tell you what I know. Almost all of the language the source editor for Gamepedia is written in is the same as what's used on almost all other wikis, from fandom wikis to Wikipedia. From what I know, the basis of wiki-text is HTML, although many other languages such as CSS are also added to enhance wiki-text better (somebody please correct me if I'm wrong about this). A helpful article about wiki text is the WP:Wikitext article on Wikipedia. Additionally, there are many editors on the Minecraft Wiki, including me, and definitely Dinoguy1000, that are rather familiar with wikitext and will probably be able to help you with what you need help with. Personally, I'm knowledgeable with basic wikitext, but I am a completely newbie when it comes to Lua or JavaScript, although those are both stuff you're probably not going to get involved with until you've been on wikis for quite a while.-- Madminecrafter12 Orange Glazed Terracotta.png to meLight Blue Glazed Terracotta.png 01:06, 4 April 2018 (UTC)


 * There are a lot of sources you can use to learn how to edit a wiki. For instance our own Help:Contents, [//help.gamepedia.com/help:contents Gamepedia's Help:Contents], [//www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Contents MediaWiki.org's Help:Contents], or even Wikipedia's Help:Contents if you really want to know everything. There are loads of links on these pages to others that can help you with pretty much everything. – [ Jack McKalling ] [ Grid Book.png Grid Book and Quill.png Grid Diamond Pickaxe.png ] 08:14, 4 April 2018 (UTC)


 * If you'd like to experiment with the markup, you can do so on your userpage, on this wiki's sandbox, or on Wikipedia's sandbox. 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 08:23, 4 April 2018 (UTC)
