Server download
Should the download link to the minecraft_server.jar be removed on all non-current versions? Almost all of the links just take you to the current download, in this case, 1.8.5 JNRM3 (talk) 17:53, 6 June 2015 (UTC)


 * I would leave it as a default. We might as well send the user to the latest server over no server. – KnightMiner  t/c 23:48, 14 July 2015 (UTC)

Merge PC version history pages
So, as I mentioned a bit back a couple times, I would like to see the various PC version history pages merged into one article, as they no longer have too much content for a single article. I've written up a sample in my workbench which shows the idea better I think.

The page basically contains the small tables for each major version number, including infdev, indev, classic, and pre-classic versions (as links to their articles). Overall, it basical removes the need for version history nav, as the about can handle links to planned versions and mentioned features, and the disambig page can easily handle links to other versions.

 * Looks good, although I noticed that the versions earlier than Alpha are just linked from their respective version pages. Will these stay too? –Goandgoo ᐸ Talk Contribs 11:26, 15 July 2015 (UTC)


 * , I also suggest leaving the phase names (Alpha, Beta, etc.) in the template, but instead having them redirect to their page (NOT version history links). --MarioProtIV (talk) 13:34, 15 July 2015 (UTC)
