Potions and Brewing
Posting here because it seems like you're informally moderating the Potions and Brewing pages. Just in case you're looking at my join date, while I'm technically new account-wise, I've been lurking the Minecraft wiki for a few months, but just decided to make an account.

I wanted to discuss how we should handle the potion redirects. I replied to some of your posts on the talk pages, but then I realized that you posted those before the Minecraft 1.0.0 release on November 18. Since the potions system changed quite a bit then, I was wondering if we should reconsider making those potion redirects into individual pages?

You mentioned that the Brewing page should be treated the same way as the Crafting and Smelting pages, but while all the recipes are listed there, each of the items on those pages have their own individual pages (some are just stubs, though). Even dyes and wool have their own pages, although the block/item data values are the same (with different "durability" values).

I suggest that we either add the recipes to the Potions page (refer to Wool or Wool Dyes) or make separate stubs for all the individual potions (like Lime Dye or Magenta Dye), since as of Minecraft 1.0.0 potions are treated as individual items with distinct (but possibly multiple) recipes.

Of course, we might want to wait before changing anything, since the system might still change, but I feel something needs to eventually be done. Additionally, I believe it's better to have redundancy than to make it difficult to find information.

I won't make any major reformatting edits until we come up with a suitable solution (I don't want any edit wars). I've given my thoughts on the subject, but I'm open to other ideas too. Aeviternity 23:05, 24 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Hey there Aeviternity thanks for the extremely well thought out post. Although I do keep an eye on those pages there are others who were before me and reached a consensus on those redirects. I think your best bet here is to copy this post to the Brewing discussion page so that they can all see it. --Ecksearoh 17:57, 25 November 2011 (UTC)
