Nav box "prevparent" for 1.7.4/5/6
So hey Majr, I'm pretty new here, and I wanted to get your input on why you did a thing a certain way.

On the 1.8 snapshot pages, even for those released prior to 1.7.5, you changed the Navbox field 'prevparent' to 1.7.5. My instinct is that the 'prevparent' for those older snapshots would be 1.7.4, but I may be misunderstanding what 'prevparent' means. Any advice on why it should be 1.7.5?

Naturally this has implications for whenever they release 1.7.6 as well, which is why it comes to mind now.

Sealbudsman (talk) 20:37, 3 April 2014 (UTC)


 * I see it as being in version order. All those snapshots are for 1.8, thus they come after any 1.7 versions, even if they were chronologically released before. –Matt ⎜ 01:15, 4 April 2014 (UTC)

Template Person - Adding Reddit field
Hey Majr,

I've been wondering if it would be worthwhile creating a field in the Template:Person for reddit accounts. Notch, jeb, Grum and Dinnerbone are extremely active on reddit and I've also seen TheMogMiner, Searge, Junkboy, Mollstam and Johan post there too. It may lead to the template becoming too cluttered on employees' pages though...

Block rendering
I've noticed that you seem to do a majority of the 150x150 images used on the pages for blocks to show what the block looks like. I'm guessing that this is done in a 3D application, and I wanted to ask if it would be possible to get the template for making my own? WiduX (talk) 16:58, 12 April 2014 (UTC)

Updates to Template:Version
The links of the Playstation 3 and Xbox edition links need to both link to the Console Edition version history pages. Also, the Xbox version is now 1.6.1 (TU seems to be used interchangeably between both Playstation and Xbox360 editions) and the Playstation 3 version is now 1.05. –Goandgoo ᐸ Talk Contribs Edits 03:07, 14 April 2014 (UTC)


 * Are we not able to just have a single console version instead of separate ones? –Matt ⎜ 03:19, 14 April 2014 (UTC)


 * I suppose so, but the problem is that although the content in the 2 versions is exactly the same, they have different version numbers. Also, please update the version numbers in Template:Version - 1.6.1 for Xbox and 1.05 for Playstation. –Goandgoo ᐸ Talk Contribs Edits 03:55, 14 April 2014 (UTC)


 * What about the TU versions? –Matt ⎜ 04:09, 14 April 2014 (UTC)

Updates to Template:History
Hi Majr, would you be able to make it so that links in Template:History are changed from Xbox 360 to the Console version history page? Would it also be possible for you to change the headers to console edition and add arguments so that I can change any references of the xbox edition to console edition?

It will be useful if we can show the newest development versions by Template:Versions. Pocket Edition version history/Development versions a20001017 Talk 04:23, 2 May 2014 (UTC)

Table CSS behavior help request
Collapsible sortable tables don't seem to be working properly. As far as I can tell, the  class is capturing mouse clicks, preventing them from reaching the hide/show button. Happens in every browser I've tried (Firefox/Opera/Chrome), and I don't know CSS well enough to figure out how to fix this. -- Orthotopetalk 19:23, 8 May 2014 (UTC)


 * It's nothing to do with CSS. The table sorter JS is preventing clicks from bubbling up, so it never reaches the collapsible table's delegated event which is bound to #mw-content-text. I guess I'll have to bind sortable tables directly. –Matt ⎜ 02:55, 9 May 2014 (UTC)

A bit of help with DPL
Do you know of a way using Extension:DPL's  parameter to include check a specific unnamed parameter instead of all of them? Specifically unnamed parameter.

--KnightMiner</b> ( talk 21:22, 22 May 2014 (UTC)


 * You can use include to retrieve specific parameters from templates and then process the results; this is what I used for the crafting usage system. Since there's no DPL function in lua, I had to call the DPL parser function and then process the result manually into a table, but lua is so fast it's really not a problem. –Matt ⎜ 12:31, 23 May 2014 (UTC)


 * I mean using  as a filter to receive only templates with   equal to the string inserted. My problem was it checked both   and   for the result. I was wondering if you knew a way to fix that, or if I was better off using categories like you did with crafting usage. --KnightMiner</b> ( talk 03:28, 24 May 2014 (UTC)


 * includematch receives the template call, so you'd need to try to match the second anonymous argument, which isn't really doable without enforcing the template call to be written in a particular way. With a named argument it'd be easy. –Matt ⎜ 05:05, 24 May 2014 (UTC)


 * DPL seems overkill for this anyways, if I'm understanding the problem correctly; I would recommend just using . 「 ディノ 奴  千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 08:42, 24 May 2014 (UTC)

"name" is the name of your spritesheet " CSS.png", without the "CSS.png" and ids will become "Mods/Ex Nihilo/ItemSprite/IDs".

Names of bugs from the bug tracker
Hello,

I'd said on the 14w25a page that we don't change bug report titles that come from the tracker, and you'd asked me, "says who".

I couldn't find who had said it specifically, but over time I've seen it happen that someone would fix the grammar or spelling on one of those titles, and some other editor -- someone with a lot of contributions who I'd run into over and over -- would come back and say that we don't change bug titles. Enough so that I came to believe it was some kind of standard, if only unofficial.

Is there some kind of standard? I would have thought those would be similar to titles of linked references, which I would have thought it was important to reproduce faithfully.

Appreciate your time.

Mobs & Ladders
Hey Majr,

Recently made some edits to the Slime and Silverfish section about those mobs being able to climb ladders, only to have them removed. Just wondering where the proper place to put those is (if not on the main mob page) since they can be useful for creating mob farms. Most people are probably not aware that those mobs can climb ladders, since based on their physical descriptions it would not make sense for them too.

 * It is already stated in the appropriate place. –Majr ⎜ 08:22, 30 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Understood. I just felt as though it may be a worthwhile addition considering most of the other hostile mobs have it listed under their behavior (zombies, skeletons, creepers, zombie pigmen, endermen, witch, etc). TheCKAGT (talk) 08:46, 30 July 2014 (UTC)


 * It shouldn't do. Any behaviour that is shared with most or all mobs only needs to be on the mobs or mob AI pages. Individual mob pages should only say how that mob's behaviour differs from the norm. –Majr ⎜ 12:37, 31 July 2014 (UTC)

 * Ok, on another note, should I change all of the Fixes titles so the url is not in the header? Also, what should I do with pages like The Update that Changed the World, Horse Update and Redstone Update? I was thinking they should redirect to the respective page, ie The Update that Changed the World redirects to 1.7.2, Horse Update redirects to 1.6.1 etc. –Goandgoo</b> ᐸ <small style=display:inline-block;line-height:1em;vertical-align:-1em>Talk Contribs Edits 08:04, 1 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Since external links in headers causes the section edit anchor to break, they should be removed, yes.
 * My initial thought was to redirect those pages and move their 0th section to the version pages, however those pages also contain a summary of the most notable changes, as an alternative to having to dive through a mile long list of everything that was changed, which would be a shame to lose. It might seem a bit strange to have both the summary and the full list on the same page though. Maybe if the summary was really cut down to be concise it could fit it, but I'm not sure. Needs other opinions. For now, just make sure those pages have the correct link to the full list of changes when the pages are split. –Majr ⎜ 08:30, 1 August 2014 (UTC)

At the moment, all of the versions in the bracket are on one line, so it is going beyond the width of the page. –Goandgoo</b> ᐸ <small style=display:inline-block;line-height:1em;vertical-align:-1em>Talk Contribs Edits 12:09, 2 August 2014 (UTC)


 * You can set white-space:normal on the parent list element, but it doesn't make the dot stay on the same line then. The sub-list should really never contain more than 2 or 3 items because of the default nowrap. –Majr ⎜ 10:16, 3 August 2014 (UTC)

 * Ok thanks. So now that 1.0-present has been converted to the new page format, should I now start converting the beta versions (and earlier)? –Goandgoo</b> ᐸ <small style=display:inline-block;line-height:1em;vertical-align:-1em>Talk Contribs Edits 12:30, 9 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Not sure at the moment. Alpha and prior don't have much information per version, which makes it hard to justify splitting them up (it's even short enough that the tables don't look super terrible). We might move them to better titles and get rid of the tables, but I think we're going to keep them on a single pages. Beta has a few reasonably sized versions, but also many small ones, so I'm not decided on if it should be split or not, but those tables have got to go.
 * What you could do is try the other editions with version nav and make sure it will work fine with them, since I only ever tested the computer edition. I know for one that we'll need to be able to trim the edition from the version number in the navigation part or it'll be too long and look cluttered. –Majr ⎜ 12:51, 9 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Hmm, I understand what you mean by the navigation looking cluttered - for the 1.0.0 pre-releases/release candidates as well as some of the 1.7.10 pre releases, the navigation gets split over two lines, which makes it a bit cluttered. Also, the Beta 1.8 pre-releases are still on the Development versions history page, so those need to get untableised (is that a word?) and probably put into separate pages. So Beta 1.8 would probably need to be on its own page but that leads to a problem where some Beta versions are on separate pages but some are not. As an alternative, I could move the Beta 1.8 pre-releases to the separate version pages, but forget about converting Beta 1.8. In regards to testing the other editions, do you mean the Pocket Edition and Console Edition? Are they going to be transferred over to the new format as well? –Goandgoo</b> ᐸ <small style=display:inline-block;line-height:1em;vertical-align:-1em>Talk Contribs Edits 13:27, 9 August 2014 (UTC)


 * I've done a test of the latest pocket edition version - Pocket Edition Alpha 0.9.5. The Pocket Edition in the nav links need to go, but apart from that it mostly looks ok. However if we make a pocket edition versions template (like the computer versions template), should i prefix each version with Alpha or just list them without the world Alpha? –Goandgoo</b> ᐸ <small style=display:inline-block;line-height:1em;vertical-align:-1em>Talk Contribs Edits 02:18, 10 August 2014 (UTC)


 * I think it's worth splitting out pocket edition and console edition, don't think we'll worry about pi edition though...
 * If the navbox has an alpha section, then I don't see the need for the prefix. –Majr ⎜ 02:47, 10 August 2014 (UTC)

I just started a project to rewrite articles to fit the style guide (as many seem to do their own thing), and I was wondering if you could have add Category:Rewrite block to blocks articles, Category:Rewrite item to item articles, and Category:Rewrite entity to entity articles.

hlist CSS
Hey Majr, is there any particular reason you chose to develop a custom version of the hlist class instead of just using the version developed on Wikipedia? And would there be a problem with switching to the current version (especially considering it's been added to core and so we'll be getting it sooner or later regardless)? 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 13:07, 5 September 2014 (UTC)


 * At the time I copied it over (April 2012), it was the pretty much the same, minus the non ul related stuff and with nowrap added. And aside from changing it to use inline-block instead of inline because I seem to remember there was an issue with IE, and using a square bullet instead of a round one, it has stayed the same since. After making the modifications necessary for our use, the only differences between our version and Wikipedia's current version is the hlist isn't inline by default, and if doesn't set the second sub-level to a smaller font size. –Majr ⎜ 02:57, 6 September 2014 (UTC)


 * The current version on Wikipedia doesn't change font-size at all, and only sets individual list items to inline (and due to a plethora of bugs in IE that couldn't be fixed without causing other bugs, it doesn't nowrap anything any more, either). I would hazard that it might be time to try updating to the current version, which has been thoroughly tested simply by nature of its use on Wikipedia, and that if we have problems with it, the cause almost certainly resides in another CSS class interfering with it (and thus that the other class needs fixed). 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 12:34, 6 September 2014 (UTC)


 * The only potential changes that updating would make would be having the list items inline instead of inline-block, and not making the second sub-level a smaller font size. I don't like having second sub-levels used at all, and if they are I'd prefer them to be a small a possible, and as for changing to inline, I don't know what difference it will make so I don't care which one it uses. –Majr ⎜ 05:33, 8 September 2014 (UTC)

Template/Module request
If you are not too busy, can I request a lua module/template from you? I tried coding it using wiki code, but the code was a major mess. I figured lua would be ideal for such a complicated template, and I have not learned lua well enough to easily add the features needed.

Basically, on smaller monitors (including tablets), breaking row causes problems alongside the infobox, and this template would fix that by placing the information in columns. Visually it would appear as shown here. Other important features include:
 * Multiple columns support, for use on articles with multiple different hardnesses
 * It would contain an optional description parameter, to shorten titles ("Wooden Pressure Plate" to "Wooden") or display multiple titles (Sandstone and Quartz Stairs in a single column)
 * It would automatically hide the shears, sword, or main tool row if empty

This is part of the idea of adding breaking times along with the proper tool on articles in the obtaining section.

–<font color=#840>KnightMiner  (t 03:50, 14 October 2014 (UTC)


 * Unfortunately, it really isn't possibly to do multiple columns with the separate template for each row model, because you need to have all the blocks on the first row, all the tools on the second row and so on. The only practical way I can think to do it is to make the entire table in one template call, rather than individual ones, which complicates the markup...
 * You could either use individual numbered args:


 * Or a wrapper template that takes some delimited text and turns it into a table, using templates inside to generate the delimited text:


 * Which would generate this text, to be used by the wrapper template:


 * Either way, the markup sucks and it's not a simple task, especially to avoid having a separate template that duplicates the code of breaking row, just to flip it horizontally... –Majr 04:16, 14 October 2014 (UTC)


 * I figured out a few of those things. There really is no way to add a column onto another column, without using a separate table that appears to be connected.
 * As for the markup, the former one was my initial plan, but most of the code was so redundant, I stopped there. I had removed a bit of the redundancies using breaking time, and that also allowed all the tool values to be in one place.
 * One other idea for the markup:


 * Still somewhat complicated, but it keeps everything in the original parameters, much simplifying the markup when a signal block column is desired.
 * –<font color=#840>KnightMiner  (t 13:41, 14 October 2014 (UTC)


 * I've made an initial implementation of the horizontal configuration at Module:Breaking row/sandbox, as I don't have time to properly test if it breaks anything. I'm not too happy with the placement of the "Breaking time (seconds)" row as a title, but I'm not sure where else it can go. If there's no hardness column then it's okay, but otherwise it seems strange. –Majr 09:08, 21 October 2014 (UTC)


 * Well, lua seems to dislike the insertRow function parts containing rowArgs[1], as it believes rowArgs[1] to be a nil value, rather than args[1] when in row mode. –<font color=#840>KnightMiner  (t 16:31, 21 October 2014 (UTC)


 * No, it just isn't set up to be invoked directly, so you're not actually passing any arguments to it. –Majr 02:45, 22 October 2014 (UTC)


 * That would make sense (did not know modules could do that). It looks good so far, although it may be nice to hide unused rows, such as shears and sword on stone, or the main tool on wool. –<font color=#840>KnightMiner  (t 04:07, 22 October 2014 (UTC)

 * I'm assuming the iPad uses iOS Safari, which supports flexbox but not flex-wrap, which is obviously quite important for wrapping to work. I already have a fallback for browsers that don't support flex-wrap or -webkit-flex-wrap (which basically accomplishes the same as the divs you added), however the fallback requires support for @supports, which iOS Safari also doesn't seem to support... I'm not sure how I can fix that. –Majr 07:13, 19 October 2014 (UTC)


 * Hmm, the reason why I put the div marks there is that it seemed to do the trick on my iPad (see this screenshot from the earlier revision).

 * Adding the divs does the same as removing flexbox entirely. What you see there would be the same regardless of screen size, which wastes a lot of space. For reference, this is how it is supposed to look at various screen sizes: large, medium, small and tiny.
 * I don't see a Chrome for iOS on the support lists, only Chrome for Android, which does support both flex-wrap and @supports. –Majr 08:34, 19 October 2014 (UTC)


 * I've removed the -webkit prefix, so webkit browsers that don't support flexbox unprefixed will fallback to the 1 column display. This forces safari to not use flexbox which it doesn't properly support. This also sacrifices flexbox for a small portion of browsers which could otherwise support it, but it's preferable to fallback to a space wasting design, rather than an outright broken one that safari was getting.
 * Out of interest: Do you know what version of iOS Safari your iPad uses? –Majr 06:56, 20 October 2014 (UTC)
