Template:History/doc

This template is used for creating the new history sections. It is currently a work in progress. To create a History section, you need to use this template multiple times.

Editions
Set the first parameter to one of the various development phases and platform versions of Minecraft, and they will be represented by sections. For example, you start the Beta section with  . Shorthands can also be used for various platforms
 * PC: c for Classic, in for Indev, inf for Infdev, a for Alpha, b for Beta, r for Official release, and u for Upcoming features
 * Pocket: pa for Pocket Edition Alpha, pb for Pocket Edition Beta, pu for Pocket Edition Upcoming
 * Console: xbox for Xbox 360 Edition and ps3 for PlayStation 3 Edition
 * Other: pi for Pi Edition and realms for Realms.

Versions
A single version can be represented using the second parameter like so:  . Do not specify the development stage here (e.g. use 1.2, not Beta 1.2). The development stage is already in the section header.

By default, the version number will be a link to the appropriate version page. You can use to change this. Possible values are:
 *  ver  — link to the version article, i.e. the default behavior.
 * Any URI/URL — external link to this URI/URL.
 * Any page on the wiki — internal link to this page.
 *  none  — no link.

If multiple changes have been made in a single version update, simply list them like follows. The template currently supports up to 10 changes per version.
 *  .

If the version is unknown, the parameter can be set to "unknown" or "?" to display no version in the cell.

Development versions
The parameter can be used to display a development version along with the version for the change. The title will always be the value of
 * If the development version starts with "pre", it will link to that prerelease of the parent version. For example, a development version of "pre1" with a parent version of "1.8" links to "1.8-pre1"
 * If the development version starts with "build", its anchor to that alpha build of the parent version. For example, a development version of "build 1" with a parent version of "0.11.0" acts as ""

By default, the development version number will be a link to the appropriate version page. You can use to change this. Possible values are:
 *  ver  — link to the version article, i.e. the default behavior.
 * Any URI/URL — external link to this URI/URL.
 * Any page on the wiki — internal link to this page.
 *  none  — no link.

If there are multiple development changes for a version, simply omit the second parameter or set it to the same as the last parent version, and it will automatically merge.

If the development version is unknown, the parameter can be set to "unknown" or "?" to display no version in the cell. If the change was made in the release of a version, simply set the parameter to "release".

Foot
After this, you can add more editions, or close the table using  .

Categories
If the parameter is set to "upcoming", the page will get added to Category:PC upcoming. Likewise, setting it to "pocket edition upcoming" will add the page to Category:Pocket Edition upcoming.

If the parameter, , or are set to "unknown", the page will get added Category:Unknown version history
