Talk:Java Edition 14w33a

Hello user:BDJP007301,

The reason I put it in that section is because, I think, for the section headings "from before 1.8", "from development versions" etc. to have any meaning to a reader coming to the wiki looking for info on bugs in the game, they have to refer to how the bug has manifested in the game itself. If I understand you correctly, you read them as referring to the bug tracker primarily? I generally take the bug tracker only as a starting point, keeping in mind the bug tracker is most often incomplete in its historical information.

I've done this since this spring, when I got involved in the wiki bug listings (as you are also now doing ).. if you go back you will see lots of 1.8 snapshot bugs listings done this way -- up until 14w31x or so when I lost my computer and I couldn't any longer properly use the launcher to pinpoint which versions featured which bugs. Nobody had mentioned having a problem with this approach since I'd started, and I'd generally been quite clear about where or why I was departing from the bug tracker listing.

Thanks for taking the time to talk, I appreciate that you've been doing a ton more bug work here lately, and I'm definitely interested in your perspective on this.

 * I agree. The affects version on the bug tracker is a good starting point, especially for auto-drive categorization, but it's often incomplete, as the original reporter often just reports and leaves, and the mods rarely backport the affects versions since it's not that important for them or Mojang. That's where the human element comes into the wiki, to put it in the correct section so it makes more sense for people reading the wiki. As a wiki reader, I want to know what versions it really affects, not just what the bug tracker says. --Kahless61 (talk) 16:37, 15 August 2014 (UTC)
