Adding links to http://crafting-guide.com ?
I've been working on a project to make it easier to deal with complex recipes, and I recently finished adding all the core Minecraft recipes. The gist of the site is that you tell it what item(s) you want to make, and it will figure out all the raw ingredients you need along with step-by-step instructions for any number of whatever items you like. For example, here's how you make 16 potions of healing II and fire resistance (with extended duration).

The maintainers of many of the mods I've added (e.g., BuildCraft / Applied Energistics) have found it useful to include links to Crafting Guide in their official documentation, and I was hoping you would think it a good idea to add links from this wiki to CraftingGuide as well. I'd be happy to do the work of adding the links myself, but I'd like to make sure there are no objections first!

Thanks! 20:54, 9 February 2015 (UTC)


 * Tutorial and mod content is not covered in main pages. Vanilla recipes are quite simple and this tool doesn't provide much of a benefit for them over just looking at the recipes on the wiki, and as for mods: any decent modpack will have NEI installed, which gives in-game help on what patterns and materials are needed to make things, so I don't see it being particularly useful for anything but the most complex multi-stage recipes. – ᐸ <small style=display:inline-block;line-height:9px;vertical-align:-3px> 05:25, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

 * From what I can tell, whitelisting it would simply require adding the domain to, assuming the blacklist works by combining the sources, then making exceptions via the whitelist. Otherwise, the entry in may need to be modified to match fewer strings (I did notice it does not use   to match the end of a domain name specifically...)

 * It would probably make sense to make it a rule, really. While people generally follow etiquette in regards to talk pages, that isn't enforceable and can result in abuse, such as in the case here where BDJP007301 would rather pretend a topic doesn't exist rather than discuss it. The other issue of abuse is where someone has been warned about something they shouldn't do. If they just remove the message then it won't be so obvious that they have continued to do the same thing with subsequent warnings. – ᐸ <small style=display:inline-block;line-height:9px;vertical-align:-3px> 03:49, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
