docTabs.js
Because I don't have a particularly large screen (1280x1024), the extra tabs this script adds tend to obstruct the Read/Edit/View history tabs. Is there any way to modify it to push those into the dropdown menu? -- Orthotope 11:18, 3 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Tabs with a class of "collapsible" will collapse into the menu automatically, however it's a bit buggy (sometimes you'll get an infinite loop where it can't decide if it should collapse or not, so the tabs wiggle around).
 * Would making the doc tabs use less text (like Doc and Doc Talk) allow it to fit? –ultradude25 ᐸ Talk Contribs 13:49, 3 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Abbreviateing it to 'Doc' should do it. Thanks. -- Orthotope 01:34, 4 January 2013 (UTC)


 * I also agree to abbreviating it to 'Doc' and 'Doc Talk'. I haven't really edited any templates since I started using that, but I've noticed, even on my large screen, the tabs get a bit crowded on templates. Also, slightly related, are your syntaxHighlight scripts the ones that make the links clickable in the header of editcounter.js? If so, the 'clickable' status stops past the second colon in the wiki page links.  01:42, 4 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Alright, I haven't changed it to "Talk" yet since we still use Discussion for the standard talk pages, and I think we should change that first, I'll put up a topic on the community portal about it.


 * The syntax highlighting script isn't written by me, and it does have some issues like that. The clickable links is one thing, another thing is any double forwards slashes on a line will make it highlight the rest of the line as a comment, even from the forwards slashes in http://.
 * I'll see if I can find the regex responsible, but I don't much understand the script. –ultradude25 ᐸ Talk Contribs 03:22, 4 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Maybe try replacing  with , so it won't match a double slash immediately following a colon? -- Orthotope 03:46, 4 January 2013 (UTC)


 * That wouldn't completely solve the issue since you can use // as the start of a URL so the browser will automatically use http or https depending on what the current page is using. –ultradude25 ᐸ Talk Contribs 03:51, 4 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Changes for the url matching worked like a charm. Thanks for your work!  05:08, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

I see you're working on the Sprite templates...
Hopefully you'll be able to, (or already have) fix the "too many loops" problem... while you're there, do you think you could add the other directions/corners for rails and redstone? Looking at the Sprite doc, it looks like you might need to square off the BlockCSS image anyway.... Alternatively, adding a "rotate" option to Sprite might simplify that, allowing you to name the rotated versions in BlockSprite. --Mental Mouse 22:29, 5 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Too many loops has nothing to do with the sprite templates, that's BlockGrid's issue.
 * You can rotate any block element using the css style "transform", but it's still vendor prefixed. I'll add the rotations anyway. –ultradude25 ᐸ Talk Contribs 22:45, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Cool, thanks! How do you apply the "transform" when you're using it via BlockGrid?  Also, I don't quite understand what you mean by "vendor prefixed". --Mental Mouse 23:38, 5 January 2013 (UTC)


 * A CSS vendor prefix is just a tag prefixed onto a CSS property, if support for that property is still experimental, as is the case with many CSS3 properties. For example, when support for  was still experimental, browsers with support usually only supported a vendor-prefixed version: Firefox used   and Chrome and other Webkit browsers used  . There are a few other vendor prefixes as well; common ones include "-o" for Opera, "-khtml" and "-apple" as aliases for Webkit browsers, and "-ms" for Internet Explorer; there are several less common ones as well, and you can get a complete overview here. 「 ディノ 奴  千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 23:51, 5 January 2013 (UTC)


 * You wouldn't be able to use transform on an individual image in a blockgrid, you'd only be able to rotate the whole thing. –ultradude25 ᐸ Talk Contribs 00:39, 6 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Ahh. Thanks to both of you for the info! --Mental Mouse 02:08, 6 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Wouldn't rotating the image change the position value? Do you pre-calculate that in /pos or do it dynamically? &mdash;Munin295 &middot; Grid_Book_and_Quill.png Grid_Stone_Pickaxe.png &middot; 02:37, 6 January 2013 (UTC)


 * The transform property doesn't rotate the image (nor does it have anything to do with any template, it's a CSS property), it rotates the entire element.
 * Take this line of text for instance. The element itself has been rotated, which includes everything inside it. –ultradude25 ᐸ Talk Contribs 02:49, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

Quartz Block
Hello Ultradude25, Mojang just released the new textures file for 13w02a. This file contains the textures for the new block, Block of Quartz. You can get this at file. The name of the .png-files are: "quartzblock_bottom", "quartzblock_chiseled", "quartzblock_chiseled_top", "quartzblock_lines", "quartzblock_lines_top", "quartzblock_side" and "quartzblock_top", which means that there are 3 different Quartz Blocks. contains the new Block of Quartz. Which means you can make a render of it already. --Dyon 18:32, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

Moving "over redirect"

Question
Hi, I'm wondering how you create categories which automatically look for templates. I'm thinking of adding a category called,"Pages with disclaimer tag" so editors can cross-check for mod pages without it and add it. Thanks! -- Anoymous712 05:45, 13 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Categories don't do anything but list pages with  in them. In this instance, you could make the disclaimer template add   to any pages it is transcluded on.
 * However, using a category would not be a good way to do accomplish what you want. A far better way would be to get a bot to check it (this is easy to do since all mod pages are under Mods/) and add it if it is missing. I'll have my account run a check once it is finished categorising all unlicensed images. (5000 pages to go...) –ultradude25 ᐸ Talk Contribs 06:07, 13 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Noted. Thanks. -- Anoymous712 06:11, 13 January 2013 (UTC)


 * So Category:Disclaimer would work, without need to change the disclaimer template (it's protected)? If so, I will still make the category just for reference. -- Anoymous712 06:16, 13 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Why would it? If it's not in the template, it's not going to be on any pages... –ultradude25 ᐸ Talk Contribs 06:21, 13 January 2013 (UTC)


 * I see, I thought it does a search for the template or something. Thanks again. -- Anoymous712 06:32, 13 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Like I said, all categories do is find pages that have  in their text. –ultradude25 ᐸ Talk Contribs 06:34, 13 January 2013 (UTC)

The bot has now added disclaimer to all sub-pages of mods that were missing it. (43) –ultradude25 ᐸ Talk Contribs 11:20, 13 January 2013 (UTC)

Deleting talk?
Why did you delete Age2empire2020's posts on Talk:Glowstone and Talk:Redstone Lamp? Although the forums are the place for such suggestions, these posts seemed in good faith and now a new user will find their first contributions simply gone with little to no explanation.

 * It might be our 1000th time, but it might be their first attempt at using a wiki (which can be scary, and shouldn't be discouraged if it's in good faith, only corrected). How about if we create a canned response template? No game requests? "The Minecraft Wiki exists to document Minecraft. Please use the forums to suggest game features." Not as fast as an undo, but more helpful to a potential contributor.

 * You're better off learning by googling these things.
 * You use a UV Map to texture the block
 * Orthographic camera for the isometric prospective (check wikipedia to learn about isometric perspective and all the different terminology related to it)
 * I used a spot lamp for the lighting and just fiddled around with it until it looked right, probably better ways though
 * The block itself it just a standard cube mesh, however I scaled it to be 1.6×1.6×1.6, so each .1 relates to a pixel on the standard texture pack, makes it easier to model things around the texture

Template help
Can you lend a hand to help fix SchematicSprite? Looking at page source code, it appears the wiki is turning <span class="schematic-sprite-image" into &amp;lt;span class="schematic-sprite-image" near the end of SchematicSprite/image layer, which FUBARs the CSS formatting. I can't figure out why it's doing that, though; there's no blatantly obvious reason Tidy is unhappy with that span, but doesn't touch the previous, nearly identical one. -- Orthotope 05:32, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

 * Template coding tutorials? Ha! You'd be better off waiting for Lua templates to reach stable so that we can request them here. ;)
 * In all seriousness, though, AFAIK there really aren't any template coding tutorials worth much out there. MediaWiki.org has some documentation, but it's mostly written as a reference rather than a tutorial: the examples are all contrived and therefore not too easy to understand. No one else seems too interested in writing tutorial material, either, which doesn't help. The best advice I can offer is probably to have a good text editor at your disposal, that can match braces for you (I use Notepad++); if you have some code with mismatched braces (or even if you only suspect there are mismatched or misplaced braces), copy it to the text editor and start looking through one set of braces at a time. 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 16:18, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

 * This wiki covers everything about Minecraft, therefore a whole wiki on just one different version of the same game is pointless. There is plenty of information on this site that pertains to just the Xbox 360 Edition, and if you find anything missing or something in an article that doesn't point out the differences, feel free to add it. One example is the Book page, where the Xbox 360 Edition still uses the old three paper recipe while the computer version uses three paper and a piece of leather.  05:41, 14 February 2013 (UTC)

Block
I would like to discuss the block that has happened on 7 February 2013. Listen, I am not by any means trying to vandalize anything, I am just trying to help. I understand that whole "Mushroom Block" incodent was taken to far, and I apologize for that, but I was just trying to say that the block itself is not actually called "Huge Mushroom", that is just the naturally occuring structure that the blocks make up. And I also understand that there are blocks with textures that have had unknown textures for years and I just wanted to try and fill in those holes and try to make some suggestions on the looks of the blocks. The final thing I would like to discuss is invisable blocks. When it came to the whole Invisable Bedrock thing, I shouldn't have put up the picture I did because the block wasn't fully invisable. In other words, you could still see it, but with air, there should be a picture of a totally invisable block. In other words, I am suggesting a blank white picture instead of a picture of clouds. I should probably be wraping up this discussion but just one more time, I am not trying to do any harm, I am just trying to help. Thank you for your time. SquareMan 06:40, 15 February 2013 (UTC)

I occasionally see you and others reverting multiple edits by a vandal, with a log entry to the effect of "Reverted to last edit by...". How do you do this? I can't see any option on the history or change page for that.... TIA! --Mental Mouse 23:53, 20 February 2013 (UTC)


 * It's the rollback feature. See also here, where someone asked a very similar question. -- Orthotope 02:34, 21 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Ah, thanks. So it is (here) an admin-only capability.  Drat.  I was prompted to ask by YA sequential vandal -- what I've been doing in that case is just to edit and save the revision before the bad edits.  --Mental Mouse 03:09, 21 February 2013 (UTC)


 * I think any editor can effectively do this. Go to View History, choose radio buttons that encompass the numbers of edits you want to rollback, and hit the Compare Selected Revisions button. The resulting page will show you the difference across multiple edits and provide an Undo link at the top right next to the latest revision title. You don't get the fancy edit summary provided for you, but it will allow you to undo multiple edits at once.

MC dev userlink icon CSS
Hey Ultradude, perhaps we'd like to add that CSS to Common.css? Seems like it'd be useful having official Mojangsta accounts being noted somehow. 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 16:31, 27 February 2013 (UTC)


 * I suppose. –ultradude25 ᐸ <small style="display:inline-block;line-height:1em;vertical-align:-0.4em">Talk Contribs 19:43, 27 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Would it also be possible to publicly label Curse staff as well, or would that be too much? It makes sense to label Minecraft devs, especially since stuff like MarcWatson's contribution to Nathan Adams is referenced, but in terms of wiki management, I believe Curse should be labeled too. It feels like Wynthyst's call at that point, but just wanted to see what thoughts you have.  06:51, 28 February 2013 (UTC)


 * I don't really think it's necessary, and if we do we should at least label the admins too, but after having it for a while I think the icons make things look too cluttered. –ultradude25 ᐸ <small style="display:inline-block;line-height:1em;vertical-align:-0.4em">Talk Contribs 07:08, 28 February 2013 (UTC)


 * I personally like them, although my iPhone has an issue with properly sizing any pixel, or even em, sizes and the icons I have kind of half hide behind the first letter of the username, even though my computer's display has a decent space. I think, for you, it's because of the pickaxes. I use a diamond gem for en and gunpowder for other directors. The gunpowder was just to differentiate, but you should try the diamond. I also have IPs labeled and they're pretty non-intrusive as well, although I wish CSS selectors used actual regex instead of the simple ^*| stuff, since I can't 100% pin down only IPs. As for labeling admins, I was also thinking of that as well, but I was under the assumption that the general sysop attitude was the same, or similar, as Wikipedia's, where you guys are just contributors with extra tools and nothing special. I think that is sort of silly though.  07:18, 28 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Well I would agree that we're just editors with extra tools, but that seems like a good reason to have the icons. If you need to find someone who has those extra tools but you don't know who is who... well you should just go to the admin noticeboard, but you know how people are, so they could just look for someone with an icon and annoy them with requests. –ultradude25 ᐸ <small style="display:inline-block;line-height:1em;vertical-align:-0.4em">Talk Contribs 07:37, 28 February 2013 (UTC)

Download all the block renders and icons?
Hello,

My nickname is Ha3 (I don't think I need to introduce myself since I found some of your comments on YouTube), I am currently working on an ad-free non-commercial website, and I've been wondering if there is a location where I could download all block renders.

If you're curious enough, I'd gladly disclose the details of the project in private.--Ha3 15:46, 6 March 2013 (UTC)


 * I don't have the images, but I can offer the blend files for you to render the images yourself. Otherwise you'll have to go through this category.

Recent category deletions
Some of the crap categories you deleted look like I was involved, more specifically the $1 category (looks like something from that HotCat script I ported from Wikipedia) and the screenshot and user image ones using ' + '. Did I accidentally make those or something? 13:22, 19 March 2013 (UTC)


 * They were all made by 007a83, who keeps making categories just because they're on the wanted categories list. However, the reason they're on there is because of your preset summaries script, or more specifically the custom summaries part. –ultradude25 ᐸ <small style="display:inline-block;line-height:1em;vertical-align:-0.4em">Talk Contribs 13:51, 19 March 2013 (UTC)


 * That's what confuses me. The custom edit summaries are only involved in edit summaries, unless MW looks for wanted categories in edit summaries and sees that category link before the script puts the link together. I have the ' + ' split there because during one of my early edit count script versions, the date parser function was ran while in the script, which was weird, so I assumed wiki links do the same thing and a script won't properly produce the link. Is someone copy/pasting these split category link codes or does MW see these in edit summaries?  14:32, 19 March 2013 (UTC)


 * It's nothing to do with the edit summaries themselves. Common.js is just a wiki page, so the links in your script are just like links on a page. –ultradude25 ᐸ <small style="display:inline-block;line-height:1em;vertical-align:-0.4em">Talk Contribs 15:03, 19 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Instead of making the categories links, you could just separate a bracket so the wiki just thinks it's text. '[' + '[Category:$1]]' –ultradude25 ᐸ <small style="display:inline-block;line-height:1em;vertical-align:-0.4em">Talk Contribs 17:55, 19 March 2013 (UTC)


 * What's funny is that was exactly my first thought and I almost did that, but decided to just put a colon to link it. I also believe the whole ' + ' isn't really needed for wiki links and is only needed with parser functions, so later I plan on just removing that on all of the presets when I'm not on my phone.  18:52, 19 March 2013 (UTC)


 * It's not needed, but it'll stop them showing up as wanted pages (if they don't exist), or your script showing in what links here. –ultradude25 ᐸ <small style="display:inline-block;line-height:1em;vertical-align:-0.4em">Talk Contribs 19:31, 19 March 2013 (UTC)


 * I assume you were substing the date parser function? The reason that happened is subst is done in pre-save transform, so it converts it before you save the script to the database. The same would happen if you used the pipe trick or whatever else uses pre-save transform. –ultradude25 ᐸ <small style="display:inline-block;line-height:1em;vertical-align:-0.4em">Talk Contribs 19:39, 19 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Ah, using the colon would make my script show up in the WLH page, even though it's no longer in the wanted page. I'll go with the split brackets trick. Also, looking up what you said in your second paragraph, which was confusing at first, I understand. Here's the [ old revision] where it happened. It's in the timestamp variable. I just plopped the subst:time right in there and I didn't notice it saved as the date. Thinking of that behavior, I should've realized how subst worked before that from doing a few unsigned tags. Thanks for the clarifications.  21:12, 19 March 2013 (UTC)

Hi ultra dude, I used the span tags to make my signature greenish, however if I place the span color tag outside my user page link, only the two dashes become green. I have to put the span tag within each link for it to turn green. Why is this happening? -- Numbermaniac  - Talk  (C)  04:37, 29 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Because the anchor elements are under the span tag, thus its own styles have a higher importance over the span's (inline) styles.

Schematic CSS
Would you add the CSS from my common.css to the wiki's CSS style sheet? (it's all for the Schematic template)

Although there are still improvements that can be made to the Schematic/SchematicSprite templates and style sheet, enough is done that it's time to request feedback and possibly start using them in articles (Mental Mouse is starting to test it, which is awesome), and for that the CSS should be in the main sheet.

Firework Star
Hello there!

As you could see in my edit to Firework Star, I marked the official release number and the developmental snapshot separately because they are different. Using the Template:History style of release is incorrect and inconsistent, since developmental releases are not official releases.

about Template:Grid
I have updated the template on the Chinese Wiki to the current version but I have found a problem that I could not solve. I have leave the template the same except I have changed to Autolink is a template that uses #switch to translate the link to the page name (because the image name is in English). The template works fine, but when I pass in more than one items, the link of the first one is fine, but the rest does't seems to have pass through the the autolink template and the link remains English. Is there a way to solve this problem? P.S. is there also a way for me to not use the #replace method? —Powup333  ZH Admin  23:09, 20 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Because only the first item is done by the wiki; the rest is in JavaScript. I don't see how that replace function actually changes anything. –ultradude25 ᐸ <small style="display:inline-block;line-height:1em;vertical-align:-0.4em">Talk Contribs 00:00, 21 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the explanation. About the replace function, the wiki treats the version with the template and without the function to be "link= air", but not link= "air", so it would just have a display name of "link= air" instead of creating a link to "air".—Powup333  ZH Admin  23:37, 21 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Oh, also a suggestion, with the navbar templates and any other collapsible tables, can you change the collapsible class so that when the template or table collapses, the title bar does not shrink to the corner but instead remain its width?—Powup333  ZH Admin  23:49, 21 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Not with CSS, because once you collapse it, the content which was making the title bar expanded is hidden and not taking up space. Our navboxes are all full width to get around that (and it doesn't look as messy when there's multiple navboxes)..


 * However, I could have the JavaScript get the current width of the table, set that as its max-width and set its width to 100%. That should make it function similar to having the content take up the space, barring the edge case of it spilling outside of its container, but that shouldn't be happening much in the first place. –ultradude25 ᐸ <small style="display:inline-block;line-height:1em;vertical-align:-0.4em">Talk Contribs 02:04, 22 April 2013 (UTC)

Version history/Development versions
There's been a proposal to split this page, since it's getting excessively long (fourth-largest on the wiki at the moment). The trick is that Version link would need to be updated, and it's a bit more arcane than I'm comfortable monkeying with. If there's some sort of string comparison function available, it shouldn't be too hard to identify major versions from snapshot numbers. Can you weigh in on this at some point? -- Orthotope 23:13, 20 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Can it wait until we get lua? It'd be a lot easier then.


 * It actually already has some split sub-pages, /Beta, /1.1, /1.2.5 and /1.3; but nothing links to them and their contents is still on the main page.
 * The closest you can come to string comparison is a basic switch, or a load of nested #ifeq; this is really something where regex would be best. I guess we could use #explode to avoid having to have a massive switch containing every version... It would be messy either way. –ultradude25 ᐸ <small style="display:inline-block;line-height:1em;vertical-align:-0.4em">Talk Contribs 23:51, 20 April 2013 (UTC)

Suggestion for Overwatch AI
Two things, both related to LoadPage:
 * Adding the tag to any loaded pages which lack it.
 * Adjusting the file paths to follow moved master or sub-pages, including changes of path.

The first is more significant -- the category is non-obvious to random editors, and easy to forget when making a subpage. The second is a convenience, especially since a bunch of master pages have recently been renamed, and more will be moved soon. Could this please be added to OWAI's standard "to do" list?--Mental Mouse 21:02, 26 April 2013 (UTC)

 * The closest you could really do is use Special:ListRedirects, and somehow get that list into the find and replace, then just go through Special:AllPages and try to find links that need replacing. –ultradude25 ᐸ <small style="display:inline-block;line-height:1em;vertical-align:-0.4em">Talk Contribs 05:26, 28 April 2013 (UTC)
