Talk:Minecraft Wiki

Possible new headline section
I mainly use the wiki to get detailed new information on recent updates, particularly the seeeecret friday kind.

It would be great if there was a condensed devlog section of the wiki on the front page, with links to detailed pages relevant to each update.

For instance, today's could be something like:

7/16/10 Seeecret Friday Update: (BLOG POST LINK)

- BUG: Death causes world corruption

- FIX: ??? (He mentioned something)

- Cactii

- Trees improved

- Leaves no longer vanish

- Crafting additions:

-- Boats

...

This could be spoilery, so possibly just the name and date of the update and the blog post could be immediately visible, leaving the details accessible on the patch page.

Separating some articles
Some articles like Apples, Mushrooms, and Mobs ought to be separated. They are all separate things. Apples and Mushrooms, i could understand if they dont get separated, but Mobs? Theyre all their own different thing, and it just makes sense (to me anyway) for them to all be their own article.Toadbert

new monster
i when playing the game i found even on peacefull a monster. i gues its the new monster the said there is gonna be. its a blob like thing .if you kill a big one it seperates into smaller easier to kill ones.very annoying!!!
 * That would be a Slime. Notch accidentally made them spawn on peaceful.  That will later be corrected :D -Phoenyx 22:04, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

"subject to change" template?
should this be made? case and point, bookshelves may have writeable books in future. boats may be towed together. apples may be cooked in future etc. etc. thoughts? --Kizzycocoa 22:32, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

Alot of recent additions gone missing?
I noticed alot of discussions and such have gone missing, and alot of things, such as the big giant page this Wiki had detailing every block has been split up into individual pages for each block. A good example is when you Google "minecraft wiki Talk:TNT". Here's the first result:


 * Talk:TNT - Minepedia - The Minecraft Wiki!
 * 12 Aug 2010 ... I just noticed the part of this page where it claims that the blast radius of TNT is 5x5x5 when put at the center. ...
 * www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Talk:TNT -

Nothing at all....

 * A lot of spamming and trolling happened on the wiki recently, and SOMETHING happened that reverted a good chunk of the wiki back to what it was on July 30/August 1. Most of the changes that have happened to pages since then are gone, although some things have been fixed. --Coolpilot 17:35, 19 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Is there any chance that admins will be able to get these changes and additions back? I'd like to point out the Redstone circuits page, where a lot of work has been lost. --Toi333 18:21, 19 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Just Google search the page, look at the cached version, copy and paste, done. Here's the cached version. Alot more stuff seems to be on the cached version from Google, than on the current page. It'd take alot of copy/paste work to fix the current page and make it look like that cached version. 24.226.58.7 18:26, 19 August 2010 (UTC)


 * It's not as simple as that. There were lots of diagrams for the designs of every gate. The cached page doesn't contain these diagrams, and they are the things that matter the most. --Toi333 20:32, 19 August 2010 (UTC)
