Navigation on FandomDesktop (and perhaps sidebar on Hydra)
As you may know, FandomDesktop will use the same navigation, as [ Oasis], therefore we would have to change this one. Unfortunately, this type of navigation would mean the uncollapsed "navigation" would be gone, and we would have to rework it entirely. What are your opinions on this?

Note: It is possible to add 3 layers into navigation --TreeIsLife (talk) 13:42, 16 March 2021 (UTC)


 * I propose an idea to do this. We can just update MediaWiki:Wiki-navigation to make 4 custom sections. Note that I don't know if the "Explore" category can have many customizations like the others, but it can be modified I think, so I propose that we should update to this only after UCX (FandomDesktop) releases:
 * {| class="wikitable"

Wiki navigation request (moved from admin noticeboard)
Currently, it looks like:
 * Minecraft
 * Minecraft Earth
 * Minecraft Dungeons

This should be changed to:
 * Minecraft
 * Minecraft Dungeons
 * Minecraft Dungeons Arcade

Thank you. Humiebeetalk contribs 21:53, 22 June 2021 (UTC)
 * I'd do these changes to MediaWiki:Sidebar:


 * Games
 * Minecraft|Minecraft
 * Minecraft Dungeons|Minecraft Dungeons
 * MCD:Minecraft Dungeons Arcade|Minecraft Dungeons Arcade
 * Minecraft: Story Mode|Minecraft: Story Mode
 * Minecraft: Story Mode - Season Two|Minecraft: Story Mode - Season Two
 * Minecraft Earth|Minecraft Earth
 * Because all of those games are official (even Story Mode is official in its way), and people might be interested in seeing them.
 * If we someday use MediaWiki:Wiki-navigation, I'd use on that page:


 * Minecraft (games)|Games
 * Minecraft|Minecraft
 * Java Edition|Java Edition
 * Bedrock Edition|Bedrock Edition
 * Education Edition|Education Edition
 * Minecraft Dungeons|Minecraft Dungeons
 * MCD:Minecraft Dungeons Arcade|Minecraft Dungeons Arcade
 * Minecraft: Story Mode|Minecraft: Story Mode
 * Minecraft: Story Mode - Season Two|Minecraft: Story Mode - Season Two
 * Minecraft Earth|Minecraft Earth
 * To make it more useful on FandomDesktop. Both options work anyway. Thejoaqui777 (talk) 00:31, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
 * The first option is fine but in the second option, if you are going to put discontinued games, you have to put discontinued versions OR remove the discontinued games (3DS and Console) (like the original proposal I made). Humiebeetalk contribs 21:27, 24 June 2021 (UTC)
 * I don't think we should only have 3 links to 3 current games. After all, our wiki has content for all those games and readers may be interested. Sure, they are discontinued, but I wouldn't compare them to 3DS or Legacy Console, since games like Story Mode or Earth are their own games unlike 3DS and Legacy, which are just ports of regular Minecraft to other devices. Thejoaqui777 (talk) 23:42, 24 June 2021 (UTC)
 * If so, I prefer the 1st option because editions are NOT games. Humiebeetalk contribs 16:40, 25 June 2021 (UTC)
 * While I agree that editions aren't games, people searches them and they are enoughly relevant to be included there. That's a reason of why I didn't include editions like Legacy, Pi or 3DS. Also, note that Wiki-navigation only affects FandomDesktop, and on Hydra Sidebar takes its place. Thejoaqui777 (talk) 16:50, 25 June 2021 (UTC) (Edit: I moved Earth down since it was discontinued.)
 * Change the sidebar:
 * Games*
 * Minecraft
 * Minecraft Dungeons
 * Minecraft Dungeons Arcade
 * Minecraft Earth
 * Discontinued games*
 * Minecraft: Story Mode
 * Minecraft: Story Mode Season 2
 * To this:
 * Games*
 * Minecraft
 * Minecraft Dungeons
 * Minecraft Dungeons Arcade
 * Discontinued games*
 * Minecraft: Story Mode
 * Minecraft: Story Mode Season 2
 * Minecraft Earth
 * 111.88.70.70 13:26, 1 July 2021 (UTC)
 * this though MCE should be moved above MC: Story Mode. Humiebeetalk contribs 14:33, 2 July 2021 (UTC)


 * For MediaWiki:Wiki-navigation I would suggest something like this:

* #|Games ** Minecraft *** Java Edition *** Bedrock Edition *** Education Edition ** Minecraft Dungeons ** MCD:Minecraft Dungeons Arcade|Minecraft Dungeons Arcade ** #|Discontinued games *** Minecraft Earth *** Minecraft: Story Mode *** Minecraft: Story Mode - Season Two
 * Games
 * Minecraft
 * Java Edition
 * Bedrock Edition
 * Education Edition
 * Minecraft Dungeons
 * Minecraft Dungeons Arcade
 * Discontinued games
 * Minecraft Earth
 * Minecraft: Story Mode
 * Minecraft: Story Mode - Season Two
 * }
 * --MarkusRost (talk) 15:39, 2 July 2021 (UTC)
 * I don't know, the reason of why I didn't add s discontinued games section was to make simpler for users to go to the pages. We already say that they are discontinued on both main page and their own pages, so for me it's kinda redundant. Also, I would make "Games" go to a disambiguation page or something like that, such a "Minecraft (games)" or "Minecraft (franchise)" page or something like that. Thejoaqui777 (talk) 16:20, 2 July 2021 (UTC)
 * That's actually not possible as clicking on "Games" collapses and uncollapses the games themselves. Humiebeetalk contribs 14:46, 5 July 2021 (UTC)
 * This one includes different editions unlike the IP above. I don't think editions should be in "Games". Also, Arcade should be a subbullet of MCD and Story Mode Season 2 should be a sub-bullet of Story Mode. Humiebeetalk contribs 17:41, 2 July 2021 (UTC)
 * My overall request:

 * I'm not a big fan on the subsections for Story Mode and Dungeons. The subsections include only a single link which kinda defeats the point of of a subsection, specially as we aren't at the limit of links in the higher section. MarkusRost (talk) 17:15, 4 July 2021 (UTC)
 * I really don't like discontinued games either, they recieve too little traction, MCE is inaccessable and MC Story Mode is inaccessable if you did not download it before its discontinuation. I'm fine with no sub-bullets ifi there is only going to be 3 games (MC, MCD, and MCD: Arcade). I'm still not comfortable with editions as they are not games. (So I basically support my original proposal

 * I really think that Realms and Commands should be moved to technical. I also think that a discontinued games sub-section should be added to separate old games and new, active games. Humiebeetalk contribs 21:06, 14 July 2021 (UTC)
 * I've updated the menus to show less items, since 4th layer menu doesn't really supported. – ItsPlantseed ⟨₰|₢⟩ 17:19, 15 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Forgot to say, . Also, how would these apply to the hydra sidebar? (MediaWiki:Sidebar) Humiebeetalk contribs 21:16, 14 July 2021 (UTC)
 * As MediaWiki:Wiki-navigation doesn't affect the current hydra sidebar, I don't think it's possible to add multi-layered section with the sidebar. So hydra would almost likely to be unchanged. – ItsPlantseed ⟨₰|₢⟩ 21:28, 14 July 2021 (UTC)

 * Minecraft Wiki


 * --TreeIsLife (talk) 21:27, 18 July 2021 (UTC)
 * 4th layer does not exist so thejouqui777's idea can't work. Minecraft Wiki is not a game and you forgot MCD Arcade.Humiebeetalk contribs 22:11, 18 July 2021 (UTC)

If you noticed a new Fandom blog, next week, the skin will officially be unchangeable from preferences and 2 weeks later,  will be removed too. So, it will become inaccessible. Because of this, we must to make a final decision for the skin. After some thinking, my final suggestion is:

Preview on my test wiki:.

I've removed the Games section altogether and merged it with the Gameplay section (you can still click on the respective title), also added Technical section which contains several links to customization resources. I also noticed that moving from sidebar to wiki navigation means that we will lose the amount of maximum items in a single dropdown, so multilayered dropdown is needed to compensate some of the remaining links. – ItsPlantseed ⟨₰|₢⟩ 04:02, 27 June 2022 (UTC)

Hydra

 * The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.
 * Hydra will no longer be able to be used at all making this discussion obsolete in a few months. Humiebeetalk contribs 17:23, 15 July 2021 (UTC)

This sub-section will be used to discuss the hydra sidebar. For games, MCE should be removed (no discontinued stuff) and MCD Arcade should be added. There is also a dungeons sidebar so the twitter and discord for dungeons can be done accordingly. Instagram should be added, Minecraft Twitch should be renamed to Twitch, all mechanics (trading, brewing, enchanting, crafting, smelting) in the hydra sidebar should be clumped into Mechanics. Technical stuff should not be added. Blocks, Items, and Mobs should be moved to the top and gameplay should be added. Humiebeetalk contribs 21:35, 14 July 2021 (UTC)
 * I don't know why we should discuss this. Soon in August, all wikis should be using FandomDesktop by default, and later, Hydra skin will be removed from options to switch. --TreeIsLife (talk) 06:54, 15 July 2021 (UTC)

Logo?
Idk but sounds like we need to change the logo... maybe a cube wikipedia? Gugalcrom123 (talk) 12:16, 8 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Which logo exactly? -- XZippy (talk) 18:04, 8 October 2021 (UTC)
 * See the Community Portal page (not this talk page) for an explanation. This wiki has been disallowed to display Microsoft-owned trademarks or logos. Amatulic (talk) 19:55, 8 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Yeah, the wiki is no longer official. Microsoft terminated the agreement that allowed use of Minecraft trademarks on this wiki. This is no longer an official source. About that though, how will it affect the wiki's style guide? I doubt there would still be the same dedication to making this a complete, comprehensive source when there is no credibility status to live up to. As far as I can tell there is nothing to stop this wiki from becoming another one of the millions of fan-made nonsense that this site is full of. I'm really worried it won't be as reliable as before, even if only from a user perspective. Loss of an official status is no small thing and would definitely affect credibility.Theoratically, what can prevent this from becoming another trash can is if the strict style guide is never dropped or changed, as in for instance pages about features not in development versions are not allowed, so on and so forth. But even then would it be viewed and referred to by the community the same way as before? Anyone with information or even just an opinion about that matter as a whole? I'd really like to be wrong about where I think this wiki is going, but I also kind of like the drama ngl. Zegatrox (talk) 06:41, 10 October 2021 (UTC)
 * I do not believe this change is going to affect article quality or wiki policy. --AttemptToCallNil (talk) 08:24, 10 October 2021 (UTC)
 * As a member of this community, I can say that we won't be different from what we've been all these years. A community like us isn't only defined by their rules, but also their members. All those users who make either small or big editions are appreciated. The logo may be different, yeah, but this doesn't mean we'll be different. Some things will change, but our core will remain the same. We've even been considered "unnoficial" from many years ago actually, and we all knew that someday something like this would happen. What we need to do is to not lose our dedication and inspiration, we need to continue doing what we've been doing for all these years, which is to document all the info about the franchise we love. Thejoaqui777 (talk) 19:46, 10 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Without rules, the people start conflicting. As such, the rules actually do make or break a community. Be clear, be concise, and be comprehensive. That is why Fandom's wiki was listed as official for longer than anyone else's wiki. And, if we slack on the rules, then all the work that was poured into the Fandom wiki goes away. ... Yes, the people are important. Just make sure the rules last longer than the people will. :) 70.190.43.171 04:25, 24 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you so much! Your comment made my day! Ever since I discovered this place and the Nether Update was anounced I was so anticipating to see how the articles grow and keep documenting all of the cool new features so people who like me at the time were new to the community and didn't follow Minecraft on YouTube or Twitter could see all of these things. I had that same feeling once Caves & Cliffs was announced, and after what happened I worried this aspect of the wiki being so up to date and a comprehensive source to check out update news would be no more. But thinking about it again you are right. Ambition and dedication is what gave this wiki a place in the Minecraft community, not some status given or taken away by the all-great, all-powerful authorities (looking at you Microsoft). What they call it doesn't change its reality, and the reality is that this wiki has been documenting all information about Minecraft that is in reach since its release. Zegatrox (talk) 01:19, 11 October 2021 (UTC)
 * I didn't give a **** about the "official" designation when I got here, and I still don't. This is a wiki, people. A wiki consists of user-generated content, which cannot by any stretch be considered "official". It would be official if the content were curated by Microsoft or Mojang. But as a wiki, no way. It's an information resource, made reliable through the dedication of its contributors. Amatulic (talk) 03:21, 11 October 2021 (UTC)


 * Regarding the logo specifically, I have just updated to a new logo to fulfill the Microsoft requirements in a timely manner; though it's not necessarily final and I think some people wanted to discuss it further. – Sonicwave talk   18:32, 11 October 2021 (UTC)

I like the new logo, but can we do it without text or with a plain font like Roboto? It looks like one of those cheap recreations from the internet. – Unsigned comment added by Gugalcrom123 (talk • contribs). Sign comments with

Regarding the logo and header, I have a new proposition for the wiki header: Let me know what do you think and if you support possible change to this revision. Update: Changed logo perspective to more 3D look. Oakar567 (talk) 16:21, 12 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Looks good! Cat201 (talk) 17:12, 13 October 2021 (UTC)

I really like the idea of the new earth logo, it just needs to be improved upon. As for the header, I think the text should be tilted/pitched backwards and forwards similarly to how all the Minecraft update logos are. I made an example of this, but I don't know if I should upload it due to it using a CC BY-ND copyrighted font (idk how it works). The current header looks too flat in my opinion. Cat201 (talk) 17:41, 12 October 2021 (UTC)
 * We can definitely figure something out in terms of more 3D look, but I'm affraid then it would be called out as taking too much inspiration from official Minecraft logo, resulting in getting back to starting point and change request. Idk, maybe others have different opinion in this matter Oakar567 (talk) 17:47, 12 October 2021 (UTC)

A logo idea I made, which *technically* doesn't use the official minecraft logo. Is this what you (Oakar567) meant by things possibly being called out for taking to much inspiration from the official one? (also sorry if I somehow break everything, I'm completely new to editing wikis) JakeThe28th (talk) 20:18, 17 October 2021 (UTC)
 * I think the "Unofficial" is unnecessary, and so it the emphasis on "Wiki". Also, I don't think there's an issue with having the wiki logo being inspired by the Minecraft logo as long as it's not the exact same one, but maybe using the same font design like you did here is too much. Cat201 (talk) 19:52, 18 October 2021 (UTC)

Proposal about closing in 3 days
Since this discussion is nearly 14 months old, with no activity for those 14 months and as we've basically "adapted" the current logo (and ES wiki even modified it for their needs) and besides that logo, there was only one different logo submition, (which didn't get any support), I would like to close this discussion in 3 days (if nobody will oppose).

If the discussion will get closed, it will mean that current (Oakar's) logo will become the wiki's official one and we will finally be able to have this topic closed. --TreeIsLife (talk) 21:35, 1 January 2023 (UTC)

Combat Tests
Proposal: Should we consider Combat Tests experimental snapshots? As of now, they're listed simply as snapshots, despite having everything in common with experimental snapshots: they're not found in the launcher, they need to be downloaded from minecraft.net, they're forks of existing versions, and are mostly not compatible with other releases.

Affected pages: Category:Java Edition Combat Tests snapshots.

 * - they are explicitly not referred to as experimental snapshots. BDJP (t 15:22, 14 March 2022 (UTC)
 * They were never snapshots, but they are also not experimental snapshots. I would be with putting them to "Tests" category.
 * Additionally, for removing their reference from main page's "Development versions" section (they seem to be long dead) and removing the section in Java Edition versions. Instead, there should be a link to the general page at the top of the infobox.--TreeIsLife (talk) 15:26, 14 March 2022 (UTC)

Technoblade
Should we have a page about Technoblade? Mojang actually added a reference to him and he was quite a famous YouTuber. The word 'Technoblade' only appears on the Easter Eggs page, which I don't think is enough. I'm not gonna create the page straight away in case I am actually wrong. Sausagea1000 (talk) 17:20, 4 July 2022 (UTC)
 * We don't have pages on content creators or really community stuff in general, if we had a page for Technoblade then I think it becomes a tricky question of who else in the Minecraft community should get their own articles. – Sonicwave talk  06:37, 6 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia already has a good article on Technoblade. There isn't really a need for duplicate content here. Amatulic (talk) 01:05, 11 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Technoblade isn't the only YouTuber that has been referenced in game. I'm pretty sure in the console edition tutorial worlds there is a recreation of Stampylonghead's house along with the names of other prominent at the time YouTubers in the love garden.

Shared Images Respository with the Galaxite Wiki
Hello, I am from the official Galaxite Wiki and we would like to make a shared images repository with the Minecraft Wiki (MCW). However, this community needs support for this desicion so please tell us if you like the idea (as you can do by replying to this). Just to make things clear, this image sharing will not make the MCW more cluttered as it only takes images from the MCW and lets the Galaxite Wiki use them but does not take images from the Galaxite Wiki and put it onto the MCW. – Unsigned comment added by ThatJadon26 (talk • contribs) at 21:18, 9 July 2022 (UTC). Sign comments with


 * I personally don't see any issues with this. Several other wikis such as https://aether.fandom.com also use MCW as an image repo and I don't recall it causing issues. The difference with language wikis that use EN as a file repo is that the latter copy over entire articles from the English wiki with screenshots that later get abandoned, leaving lots of old screenshots that then need to be checked when renaming or deleting them on EN. I imagine the Galaxite wiki will mostly use "standard" images like items and blocks, which already have established naming formats and shouldn't be moved around as much. – Sonicwave talk  21:25, 11 July 2022 (UTC)

More admins (2022)
I'd like to again bring up the discussion of promoting more admins on this wiki. Apart from BDJP (who was promoted after a similar discussion last year), most of the admins including myself aren't particularly active, and some non-vandalism related admin actions such as CSS fixes seem to take a while to be noticed. I don't think our current situation with just 1 or 2 active admins is enough to handle all of the workload on the wiki, nor healthy to prevent burnout.

To start off, I'd like to suggest and  as candidates. JEC has been around the wiki for a long time, starting around the same time as myself, and I don't recall them having gotten into any conflicts over the years. They are very active in fighting vandalism and I think they'll be of valuable help in that regard. Amatulic has also been consistently active for several years and is very communicative, explaining the majority of his edits/reverts as far as I can tell and both presenting and addressing concerns on talk pages. One of my main concerns (not only here, but also other wikis and online communities in general) is with biting new and inexperienced editors, whether intentionally or not, and discouraging them from making future contributions or remaining in the community. I believe that both JEC and Amatulic will be able to assist with vandalism fighting and other admin tasks without doing so, and will be helpful additions to the admin team overall.

If anyone has concerns or feedback on these two editors or have other candidates (including themselves) that they believe to be a good fit, please do discuss here. Also, if either Amatulic, JEC, or anyone else who may be named in this discussion do not wish to have admin rights, feel free to state so. However, I'd say that adminship should be thought of less as an obligation and more of a set of additional privileges that the community trusts you to have; and in a similar vein we shouldn't discourage promoting more admins that we believe have what it takes, just because there are certain number of them already. – Sonicwave talk  01:02, 15 July 2022 (UTC)


 * I don't mind taking the role, although I thought we already had enough admins here.
 * If it matters, I've been an admin on Wikipedia for 11 years, so I'm familiar with the additional tools. The admin workload on the Minecraft wiki shouldn't be a significant increase. I check in in almost every day, although most of my activity recently has been page patrolling and minor improvements. I'm not perfect, I do make errors in judgment at times, but I also welcome others pointing out when I mess up.
 * As for other candidates, I assumed JEC6789 was already an admin here, and was surprised just now to learn that isn't the case. I second the motion. Amatulic (talk) 01:39, 15 July 2022 (UTC)
 * One other thing I should mention: while it shouldn't be necessary for admins for participate in the Discord (like with normal editors), we do have private channels for admins and directors, as mentioned on the Discord page. These channels aren't especially active but do get used from time to time to discuss wiki moderation, as well as communicating with Fandom staff and SOAP. There would be no obligation to moderate or otherwise participate in the Discord server itself, as the actual server moderator role is separate from the admin role for this exact reason. – Sonicwave talk  05:12, 15 July 2022 (UTC)
 * I joined the Minecraft Discord a while back but didn't see the value in it, so I haven't been back. That might change if my role here changes. Amatulic (talk) 05:27, 15 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Might have time to write a longer response this weekend, but in short, I myself being given admin rights, and I still  Amatulic getting admin rights – JEC talk  @ 04:09, 15 July 2022 (UTC)
 * As General Sherman supposedly said, "if nominated I will not accept, if elected I will not serve."
 * Well, I still support giving you the rights. There is no harm in an experienced editor using admin tools only occasionally. There isn't an obligation to use the admin tools, but they are nice to have when a need arises. The point isn't to draft you into a new job, but to give you access to tools that you can be trusted to use responsibly. Amatulic (talk) 05:27, 15 July 2022 (UTC)
 * I don't know if I should suggest myself, but my favorite wiki tasks are template, css and js fixing, which is needed as mentioned by Sonicwave above. Was previously suggested here. - Magiczocker (talk) 06:06, 15 July 2022 (UTC)
 * I Magiczocker for admin. Especially if you can fix the popups tool that broke in the recent update (no more "patrol this page" option appears). I've been told some css and js can't be fixed though, and would need to be done by fandom.
 * A possible other candidate might be User:Fadyblok240. Amatulic (talk) 06:19, 15 July 2022 (UTC)


 * I'd support Amatulic. From what I've seen of his contributions, I definitely think he'd be a net positive as an administrator. I also support Magiczocker, as I feel like with Majr inactive/demoted it would be useful to have someone new who is knowledgeable of CSS and JS.


 * JEC seems like a good candidate as well, but if he's really that strongly opposed then oh well. Madminecrafter12 (talk) 03:58, 16 July 2022 (UTC)


 * Amatulic. Magiczocker.  JEC6789, conditional on them continuing to oppose being given the right; I do not believe it's appropriate to assign special permissions to anyone against their express wishes, even considering various possibilities of whether they will actually use such permissions. --AttemptToCallNil (talk) 04:56, 16 July 2022 (UTC)


 * I support Magiczocker as well. He's also been on this wiki for several years (to where I think he's familiar with how it operates) and has already assisted with moderation through his SOAP rights, but giving him admin will allow him to do non-vandalism-related admin tasks as well.
 * I do have some reservations about Fadyblok however. They seem to largely focus on the maintenance side of the wiki, but I'm concerned that it may get a bit excessive at times. On several occasions they have introduced guidelines or other administrative changes without discussion, including this edit on the talk guidelines (which I just noticed when reviewing their edits); and brought over templates/modules from Wikipedia such as Module:TwitterSnowflake (dependent on Module:Date, also from WP) and Module:Redirect, which I think aren't strictly necessary and tend to introduce unnecessary complexity on this wiki. Granted, I think the latter is a bit less common now than in previous years, but it still makes me hesitant about him potentially doing the same with the site CSS/JS.
 * As for JEC, I definitely agree that they should not be given admin rights if they do not want them, though I'm not sure if that's being implied here. I do think they can get the patroller right at least (if they're fine with it), as it hardly carries any additional permissions, but can make rolling back edits quicker and speed up Recent Changes patrolling by distinguishing edits that other patrollers and admins have already patrolled. – Sonicwave talk  06:09, 16 July 2022 (UTC)


 * Amatulic and Magiczocker, per above. TheGreatSpring (talk | contribs) (Tagalog translation) 06:11, 16 July 2022 (UTC)


 * When this discussion started User:NineTreyBlud had been inactive for over a year, which is what prevented me from mentioning that user as a potential admin. Now NineTreyBlud is back, so I suggest him for consideration as a candidate for administrator. Amatulic (talk) 23:36, 23 July 2022 (UTC)
 * I'm personally not sure about NineTreyBlud yet, as I had some concerns over him in the past (mainly regarding civility and dealing with problematic users); although looking back it seems most of the instances took place in Discord or were on-wiki issues that were addressed there as opposed to talk pages. Since he has only been back for about a week, it's hard for me to form an opinion based on his recent activity. – Sonicwave talk  06:15, 29 July 2022 (UTC)


 * Just wanted to pop in here and say I hope this is acted on soon, especially if you can find people who are active around this time (it's about midnight PST here). We had someone rearranging page text all over the place and it was pretty tough to keep up and clean up behind them. Fortunately BDJP popped on and finally blocked them. So more admins would definitely be appreciated and the sooner the better :-). - AD OffKilter (talk) 07:23, 26 July 2022 (UTC)


 * Yeah IK I am late to this, but I don't mind still being patroller, seeing that I only came back to edit on the MCD wiki. James Haydon (talk) 21:01, 1 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Because this discussion has been inactive for a few days and there seems to be overwhelming support for Amatulic and magiczocker, I have administrator rights to both of them. Personally, I would be weakly opposed to promoting NineTreyBlud and Fadyblok. The issues raised above are very valid, and with the promotion of two active admins, I feel like we don't need more unless they're just outstanding candidates.

Content moderator revisit
Whatever happened to the proposal to create a "content moderator" role, with some admin rights but not all of them? Thejoaqui777 proposed this last year but it didn't seem to go anywhere. This role exists on other wikis. A content moderator would have patroller rights and can do things like rename pages over redirects, protect pages, unprotect pages, but cannot edit admin-only pages, block users, or grant user rights. I still think it's a great idea, and I can think of several editors who would be good content moderators. Even JEC6789, who doesn't want to be an admin, might be willing to have the rights of a content moderator. Amatulic (talk) 05:33, 15 July 2022 (UTC)
 * The userbase then didn't like it because they said that if someone has these permissions why wouldn't be trusted to be an admin, and also because it's a Fandom-made user group. I think we could also revisit the idea here because, for example, the group works well for us on es:Minecraft Wiki, where I mainly edit (hence why I didn't comment yet to the more admins proposal), so we maybe should try to get more opinions. Thejoaqui777 (talk) 05:45, 15 July 2022 (UTC)
 * I still tend to think that the content moderator role is similar enough to admin that you might as well give them the admin role instead. According to the Fandom help page and Special:ListGroupRights, the only real rights admins have over content moderators are blocking users (content moderators can edit admin-protected pages) and editing abuse filters, CSS/JS and MediaWiki pages. The only user right admins can give is autopatrol as we use Patrollers (which only bureaucrats can grant) instead of rollback, although I wonder if the former could be changed so admins could grant it as well. Editing abuse filters and MediaWiki pages is a rare use-case, so the main difference would be the ability to block users. I can see that being a touchier right to have than deleting or protecting pages, but that alone isn't worth introducing another user group in my opinion.
 * A separate content moderator role might make more sense on wikis that also have article comments or the Discussions feature enabled, where Content and Discussion moderators are two separate roles with admin being a combination of the two (along with its own extra rights). – Sonicwave talk  05:57, 15 July 2022 (UTC)
 * If I may chip in from basically retirement - I support Sonicwave's assessment of the situation (therefore an ). Besides, I think it adds a useless extra layer of bureaucracy for something that's already fairly slow and bureaucracy-heavy, having been around for a fair number of years. The new 'worst case' of escalation would be editor -> CM -> admin or bureaucrat -> , while currently it's editor -> admin or bureaucrat -> . It's also quite pointless to create a new role (basically admin light packaged in the fancy marketing term content moderator) for someone who has declined to be admin. DarkShadowTNT (talk) 03:44, 16 July 2022 (UTC)
 * . I generally agree with Sonicwave's and DarkShadow's comments. There are several things I believe every serious wiki-wide proposal needs: 1) a description of a current problem; 2) a proposed solution; 3) an explanation of how the solution actually addresses the problem; and 4) at least some assessment of risks and drawbacks. I only see (2) here. --AttemptToCallNil (talk) 05:06, 16 July 2022 (UTC)

I understand the situation now. I withdraw the suggestion. Amatulic (talk) 06:52, 16 July 2022 (UTC)

Minecraft Legends wiki project
I was wondering if we could start up a project for a wiki about the upcoming Minecraft Legends game. I am aware we have little information about this game but incase we get more leaks in the future we should plan to create a wiki for this game. This was done for Mojang's previous two spinoff titles (Minecraft Earth, Minecraft Dungeons, Minecraft: Story Mode). James Haydon (talk) 00:56, 27 August 2022 (UTC)


 * , but only as project in MCW:Projects for now. Also on Fandom's support page, it says max 3 custom NS are permitted, so we may have to cancel one of the NS, MCE or MCSM. --TreeIsLife (talk) 20:28, 1 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Per Fandom Staff, the limit only applies to non-content NS (like Forums), so in other words, we can request more content ones. --TreeIsLife (talk) 20:42, 6 September 2022 (UTC)

 * Okay is gonna contact a Fandom staff member in regards to the creation of a new MCL namespace, but some people (I.E. ) think that there isn't enough info on the game yet for a full blown namespace. James Haydon (talk) 21:11, 6 September 2022 (UTC)

How are people making perfect animated isometric renders?
I have that mod "isorender", which is an amazing mod, and was able to make beautiful images with it, but I'm seeing other images that have not only isometric views, but flawless animations as well. What programs are people using to pull that off? For example, I'm seeing one of the Warden's idle animations on its respective page. There's also another of a villager shaking and sweating.

It's a shame, I really wanted to help the wiki. At least I can still provide static iso renders and animations/recordings of MC gameplay with proper camera mods, but I can't do what Pneuma does. It's a shame he doesn't provide a tutorial, because I'd kill for one. --XZippy (talk) 00:33, 9 October 2022 (UTC)
