Minecraft Wiki:Projects/Renaming

About
Minecraft Pocket and Console Editions are being joined in a cross platform "Minecraft". The entire wiki needs to be changed, to make way for the new names.

Please check out the talk page, to get more involved! We're talking about lots of things!

Planning
Let's lay out the scope of work, and put a good amount of thought into it, before starting.


 * What version articles to rename
 * See Minecraft Wiki talk:Projects/Renaming
 * Identify what templates need to be reconfigured (such as version link), so links don't break
 * Create a plan for renaming them


 * What templates, categories and modules need a rename
 * Templates
 * Computer versions
 * Pocket Edition versions
 * Pocket Edition, (Minecraft might also needs a rename)
 * Categories
 * Category:Pocket Edition
 * Category:Pocket Edition versions, and all the sub categories.
 * Category:Computer versions, and all the sub categories.
 * Category:Computer edition specific information
 * Category:Pocket edition specific information
 * Category:Pocket Edition upcoming tag
 * Category:Pocket Edition upcoming
 * Category:Computer edition upcoming tag
 * Category:Computer edition upcoming
 * Category:Pocket Edition grid images, (Category:Grid images might also needs a rename)


 * What articles need a major reorientation:
 * Pocket Edition
 * Minecraft


 * Make a single top-of-page template that identifies editions
 * In the way that desktop, pocket, education and console have been doing
 * See Template talk:Desktop


 * Establish a standard order of editions
 * See Minecraft Wiki talk:Projects/Renaming
 * This affects pages as well as templates like history (see Template talk:History)


 * Create a sub-project system
 * So all pages are worked on, seen and marked complete (like how they did it on on the Rewrite for Styleproject)


 * Verifying edition-specific features
 * Might want a separate sub-project system for managing this (like how they did it on on the Rewrite for Style project)
 * Think about how best to organize the work
 * Perhaps categories like Category:Correct in Java Edition, Category:Correct in Bedrock Editions, Category:Correct in Console Edition?
 * There are some categories show use of the only tag, which would highlight some things to look at, but it would be best to be comprehensive about it, hitting all pages and testing lots of things.
 * Category:Computer edition specific information, Category:Pocket edition specific information and Category:Console edition specific information
