Minecraft Crafting Guide application
Please stop spamming your app on the crafting page. It is already at the bottom of the page (and it's already quite a lot). Thanks – Scaler (t) 17:01, 17 January 2011 (UTC)

It's only on the Programs & Editors page. It's an app dedicated to this site anyway? -Monty251 17:44, 17 January 2011 (UTC) Monty251


 * The programs page is where it belongs, with all the other programs. The crafting page is for listing recipes, not for linking to people's applications. --Lordebon 17:12, 17 January 2011 (UTC)


 * What do you mean approved to post it -- did an admin say to post it at the top of the crafting page? As for people calling you a spammer, that is probably because you are simply reinserting the text without defending why. --Lordebon 17:23, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
 * This is a wiki. When your edits are disputed, you don't just add it back. You discuss why it should/shouldn't be there and the community comes to a consensus. Community, you know, the other people who also edit this wiki? --JonTheMon 17:26, 17 January 2011 (UTC)

Ok guys well here's my discussion :p

I think it should be inserted in the Main Crafting page, (As a single link or indeed included with a screen-shot) because it's an application dedicated to this recipe list, ultimately showing the players how to craft certain items. Of course applications aren't meant to be displayed here as there is a separate section for that however no one has created an application like mine, again dedicated to this recipe page.

I think every player of minecraft (more so the newbies or players who forget recipes) would appreciate this application, it's like having MinecraftWiki on your Desktop. It can be run in the background, without internet. If you forget how to craft an item, you pull it up and you can very easily, and quickly find your item. -Monty251 17:44, 17 January 2011 (UTC) Monty251


 * Ok, first, sign your comments with four tildes ( ~ ). Second, did you notice that one point someone moved all your text to the bottom of the crafting page? That is (if at all) the most appropriate place for a user-created application. My personal preference is to just have a See Also section at the bottom pointing to Programs_and_Editors and explain that your program is there. --JonTheMon 17:36, 17 January 2011 (UTC)


 * A "See Also" section at the very bottom pointing to your app on the programs page sounds like the best solution to me. The way I'd go about it is to make a new section on the programs page for Recipe Applications (or something similarly named) and then link to that section from the 'see also.' Even if your app is the only one of it's kind available that doesn't preclude others from making similar applications, and the wiki shouldn't really endorse one over the other. --Lordebon 17:41, 17 January 2011 (UTC)

Ok thanks very much mate. I'll add those in now. -Monty251 17:44, 17 January 2011 (UTC)Monty251 A simple link to my official apps blog post would do it. - I'm not making money from this or anything so it isn't really advertising. I like the idea of the See Also tab but they would just be directed to visit the blog post anyway i guess? Just getting ideas together because it's a good app. -Monty251 17:46, 17 January 2011 (UTC)Monty251
