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.
 * If it's all right with you, I'd like to reinstate the posts with a response.

 * 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)

Xbox 360 wiki
I think u should make an xbox 360 wiki so that everyone can have the same experience on minecraft –Preceding unsigned comment was added by Sc00byD004 (Talk&#124;Contribs) 21:56, 13 February 2013‎ (UTC). Please sign your posts with


 * 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)
