Merge Pages
Wouldn't it be easier to merge the pages from Java 1.17 with bedrock 1.17.0? They are practically the same and few things change. We could put a section on the Caves & Cliffs page about unique changes in these editions (or bug fixes). it would be easier and less unnecessary copy paste, and everyone would just know where to edit new update freatures. (I also suggest doing it to all update pages). The pages with small updates could be separate again, like 1.17.2, 1.17.3, 1.17.4...L7876 (talk) 19:53, 17 January 2021 (UTC)
 * No, the editions have different features right now, and goats shouldn't be listed as added yet on the java end, and skulk sensors vice versa. Additionally, there's guarenteed to be changes between the editions at the time of release too, even 1.16 had differences, despite being parity checked.

 * Well, at least some time the resources will mix, the features that are different will be in the minority as the version is still being tested. That is why I said that at least one section on the page should be created for them, (In the future when the version finally comes out). These differences are not a big deal at all.L7876 (talk) 20:48, 17 January 2021 (UTC)
 * sorry if i'm too dramatic I oppose becuase of consistancy. Java 1.16 is different than Be 1.16. Also think about bug fixes and other things. Also what would you even call the page? Temporarily merging the pages just creates a lot of mess with cleaning up the pages. Also Dhranios is a long time contributer and administator and i'm 100% sure that an admin would be more reliable than a new user.Humiebee (talk) 23:43, 17 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Not getting anyone's point, what do you mean by calling the page what? It would be just a mix! Also why not doing this at least in the future? And i dont know what do you mean by "bug fixes and other things" since i already said thats not a big thing, likes it is a confusion (Just create a new section with the bedrock and java bug fixes so that the reader can distinguish it). Think I will try to create a test page, to prove that "new users" can also be trust wordy.L7876 (talk) 13:37, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
 * It seems humbiebee was a bit unsure what you meant. The point we're trying to make clear is that there's still going to be numerous exclusive changes, even if mojang is focusing on parity within the update. A bug fix can result in a change to something's behavior, that should be mentioned outside the bug fixes section too.
 * Having 1 page listing 2 updates (even if the same *base* update) is going to get really messy really quickly. We separate pages across the wiki a lot if the editions are different enough, and updates are not an exception. Think of the command system, it is very different between editions, or data packs/ad-on scripting, those are exclusives to their editions and shouldn't be listed on the others'.
 * The moment you get a page with "both, java, bedrock", you're asking to reader to look all over the page for the changes to, eg, data packs, while keeping it separate pages only asks them to look at 1 place. The readers are generally interested only in 1 edition. Dhranios (talk) (Join the wiki videos project!) 13:44, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Ok, thanks for being more clear i got your point now. But theres a way to create a test page here? Like wikipedia? L7876 (talk) 13:52, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Per the discussion, I wouldn't reccomend you to do that, but if you would like to test it, you can do that on your user page (or a subpage of it), but remember that you should clear it when you finish testing. Your user page won't be deleted if you specify that you are testing something, because it takes space. The best option would be the Sandbox page, where you can edit freely folowing the rules and style guide; however the edits made there are undone after a while, so it's your own decision. Anyway, Dhranios already explained why it wouldn't be a good idea, and I think that you should listen to him, but you are free to decide . Thejoaqui777 (talk) 14:02, 18 January 2021 (UTC)

Protect the page
Can somebody protect the page and disallow ips from editing it? Most of the ip edits just get undone because they have some problem. 18:32, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

Can Someone add the new Bedrock mountain biomes?
I don't see why they shouldn't be on this page since they are part of the update. Miraculer89 (talk) 11:54, 7 March 2021 (UTC)
 * They are mentioned briefly under the world generation section. However, I could see how it would make sense to at least put a little more information about them to the biomes section, even if the section on mountains stays where it is. PegasusDust (talk) 04:57, 9 March 2021 (UTC)
