Nav box "prevparent" for 1.7.4/5/6
So hey Majr, I'm pretty new here, and I wanted to get your input on why you did a thing a certain way.

On the 1.8 snapshot pages, even for those released prior to 1.7.5, you changed the Navbox field 'prevparent' to 1.7.5. My instinct is that the 'prevparent' for those older snapshots would be 1.7.4, but I may be misunderstanding what 'prevparent' means. Any advice on why it should be 1.7.5?

Naturally this has implications for whenever they release 1.7.6 as well, which is why it comes to mind now.

Sealbudsman (talk) 20:37, 3 April 2014 (UTC)


 * I see it as being in version order. All those snapshots are for 1.8, thus they come after any 1.7 versions, even if they were chronologically released before. –Matt ⎜ 01:15, 4 April 2014 (UTC)

Template Person - Adding Reddit field
Hey Majr,

I've been wondering if it would be worthwhile creating a field in the Template:Person for reddit accounts. Notch, jeb, Grum and Dinnerbone are extremely active on reddit and I've also seen TheMogMiner, Searge, Junkboy, Mollstam and Johan post there too. It may lead to the template becoming too cluttered on employees' pages though...

Block rendering
I've noticed that you seem to do a majority of the 150x150 images used on the pages for blocks to show what the block looks like. I'm guessing that this is done in a 3D application, and I wanted to ask if it would be possible to get the template for making my own? WiduX (talk) 16:58, 12 April 2014 (UTC)

Updates to Template:Version
The links of the Playstation 3 and Xbox edition links need to both link to the Console Edition version history pages. Also, the Xbox version is now 1.6.1 (TU seems to be used interchangeably between both Playstation and Xbox360 editions) and the Playstation 3 version is now 1.05. –Goandgoo ᐸ Talk Contribs Edits 03:07, 14 April 2014 (UTC)


 * Are we not able to just have a single console version instead of separate ones? –Matt ⎜ 03:19, 14 April 2014 (UTC)


 * I suppose so, but the problem is that although the content in the 2 versions is exactly the same, they have different version numbers. Also, please update the version numbers in Template:Version - 1.6.1 for Xbox and 1.05 for Playstation. –Goandgoo ᐸ Talk Contribs Edits 03:55, 14 April 2014 (UTC)


 * What about the TU versions? –Matt ⎜ 04:09, 14 April 2014 (UTC)


 * I think TU versions should represent the overarching console edition version, while the individual version numbers are for the respective editions (1.6.1 for Xbox and 1.05 for Playstation). –Goandgoo ᐸ Talk Contribs Edits 05:29, 14 April 2014 (UTC)

Updates to Template:History
Hi Majr, would you be able to make it so that links in Template:History are changed from Xbox 360 to the Console version history page? Would it also be possible for you to change the headers to console edition and add arguments so that I can change any references of the xbox edition to console edition? Thanks –Goandgoo ᐸ Talk Contribs Edits 23:01, 17 April 2014 (UTC)

Vandalism on pages

A Pocket Edition development versions in Template:V?
It will be useful if we can show the newest development versions by Template:Versions. Pocket Edition version history/Development versions a20001017 Talk 04:23, 2 May 2014 (UTC)


 * Since both the development version and the release version have alpha in the name, the word "build" will be used to tell that it is a snapshot. –Matt ⎜ 09:40, 2 May 2014 (UTC)


 * "0.8.0 build 8" does not point to right place of the page. "#A8" should be "#0.8.0 alpha build 8".

Table CSS behavior help request
Collapsible sortable tables don't seem to be working properly. As far as I can tell, the  class is capturing mouse clicks, preventing them from reaching the hide/show button. Happens in every browser I've tried (Firefox/Opera/Chrome), and I don't know CSS well enough to figure out how to fix this. -- Orthotopetalk 19:23, 8 May 2014 (UTC)


 * It's nothing to do with CSS. The table sorter JS is preventing clicks from bubbling up, so it never reaches the collapsible table's delegated event which is bound to #mw-content-text. I guess I'll have to bind sortable tables directly. –Matt ⎜ 02:55, 9 May 2014 (UTC)

A bit of help with DPL
Do you know of a way using Extension:DPL's  parameter to include check a specific unnamed parameter instead of all of them? Specifically unnamed parameter.

--KnightMiner</b> ( talk 21:22, 22 May 2014 (UTC)


 * You can use include to retrieve specific parameters from templates and then process the results; this is what I used for the crafting usage system. Since there's no DPL function in lua, I had to call the DPL parser function and then process the result manually into a table, but lua is so fast it's really not a problem. –Matt ⎜ 12:31, 23 May 2014 (UTC)


 * I mean using  as a filter to receive only templates with   equal to the string inserted. My problem was it checked both   and   for the result. I was wondering if you knew a way to fix that, or if I was better off using categories like you did with crafting usage. --KnightMiner</b> ( talk 03:28, 24 May 2014 (UTC)


 * includematch receives the template call, so you'd need to try to match the second anonymous argument, which isn't really doable without enforcing the template call to be written in a particular way. With a named argument it'd be easy. –Matt ⎜ 05:05, 24 May 2014 (UTC)


 * DPL seems overkill for this anyways, if I'm understanding the problem correctly; I would recommend just using . 「 ディノ 奴  千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 08:42, 24 May 2014 (UTC)


 * I think it would just be easier to use a category set to by the achievements template, and then load from the category. Any problem with that as long as I make them all  ? --KnightMiner</b> ( talk &#124; contribs ) 15:47, 24 May 2014 (UTC)

Template:Crafting and mods

 * In Mods/Ex Nihilo/Items I would like to use little sprites just like Items, how should that be done? Is there already a system for mods in the normal ItemLink, ItemSprite etc. Or should new templates be created at Ex Nihilo ItemLink or ItemLink/Ex Nihilo or Mods/Ex Nihilo/ItemLink ? -- TheWombatGuru   <sup style="color:#00F">t undefined<sup style="color:#00F">c  NL Admin  11:22, 31 May 2014 (UTC)


 * Supporting mods for itemsprite doesn't make sense because the mod items will have entirely separate spritesheet and IDs, which is all there really is to the template. Use the latter name. –Matt ⎜ 15:24, 31 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Is there an easy way to get it to work, I guess it can use most of the Lua code of the normal templates. -- TheWombatGuru   <sup style="color:#00F">t undefined<sup style="color:#00F">c  NL Admin  15:49, 31 May 2014 (UTC)

 * Looks right. All that's left is to change parameters in Module:Mods/Ex Nihilo/ItemSprite. "name" is the name of your spritesheet " CSS.png", without the "CSS.png" and ids will become "Mods/Ex Nihilo/ItemSprite/IDs". You then make "Module:Mods/Ex Nihilo/ItemSprite/IDs" in the style of "Module:ItemSprite/IDs" --KnightMiner</b> ( talk 16:43, 31 May 2014 (UTC)

Stronghold Library deletion
Hi Majr, I worked really hard on the Stronghold Library page, but when you deleted it you mentioned that there was no content. I actually put a lot of time into the content I had on that page. It took me hours. I don't know if you can restore it, but I would appreciate it if you could.

Names of bugs from the bug tracker
Hello,

I'd said on the 14w25a page that we don't change bug report titles that come from the tracker, and you'd asked me, "says who".

I couldn't find who had said it specifically, but over time I've seen it happen that someone would fix the grammar or spelling on one of those titles, and some other editor -- someone with a lot of contributions who I'd run into over and over -- would come back and say that we don't change bug titles. Enough so that I came to believe it was some kind of standard, if only unofficial.

Is there some kind of standard? I would have thought those would be similar to titles of linked references, which I would have thought it was important to reproduce faithfully.

Appreciate your time.

 * I can only recall one instance where spelling corrections on bug titles were reverted, and I undid those as well.
