Jinx and Thinkgeek links
I definitely disagree. Neither of those are Curse or Mojang related. All Minecraft merchandise directly from Mojang is at https://minecraft.net/store, unless you can prove those two sites are also directing revenue to Mojang and/or they approve. Otherwise, it's just random advertising to list them. 17:34, 21 April 2013 (UTC)

Uhm... wow... nevermind. Looking for some mention of these two sites, I actually looked at the product links on their store page. I'm stupid. Don't mind me. *whistles*  03:21, 22 April 2013 (UTC)

Current price
First of all, Raffox97, a price change is not a useless edit. Secondly, 007a83, minecraft.net/store still says €19.95. Please provide a source for €20.56. 16:36, 5 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Minecraft is sold in USD. Check the store. and The USD is now worth more than The EUR. --007a83 (Talk&#124;Contribs) 21:02, 8 May 2013 (UTC)

 * Looked at the HTML code. GBP=17.95 USD=26.95 EUR=19.95. I will look in depth more next time. --007a83 (Talk&#124;Contribs) 22:18, 8 May 2013 (UTC)


 * I was actually not aware the prices were there in the code for the page. I used several random European proxies to verify the price, but I guess having them there is the easiest way to display them based on the IP of the visitor. Also, Minecraft is actually sold in EUR with the GBP and USD being manually set by Mojang based on the conversion rates last time Minecraft's price was increased. Think of the EUR price as the default price they went for. This is one of the reasons why USD is in parenthesis on the page with the other being consistency to the USD conversion for Microsoft Points further down.  04:40, 9 May 2013 (UTC)


 * I checked a china proxy, The default for everywhere else is EUR. Have not checked a place like Canada to see if they are shown USD. –Preceding unsigned comment was added by 007a83 (Talk&#124;Contribs) 17:03, 12 May 2013 (UTC). Please sign your posts with
 * Canada is shown the price in USD, and should we post the GBP price? --007a83 (Talk&#124;Contribs) 17:18, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

Microsoft Points Image
What do you guys think of "1600 Microsoft Points ($20.00 USD)" --007a83 (Talk&#124;Contribs) 21:35, 8 May 2013 (UTC)


 * - Personally I think that it's a bit unnecessary. The symbol doesn't really add much. –Goandgoo ᐸ Talk Contribs Edit count 06:03, 9 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Changed to "1600Microsoft Point.png ($20.00 USD)" The symbol is well THE Dollar sign of Microsoft Points --007a83 (Talk&#124;Contribs) 07:07, 9 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Is now "1600Microsoft Point.png (US $20.00)"--007a83 (Talk&#124;Contribs) 21:49, 15 May 2013 (UTC)


 * The image is too blurry and poorly aligned. –ultradude25 ᐸ Talk Contribs 00:55, 30 May 2013 (UTC)


 * The image is free to edit. I would love to see some pro work on it.--007a83 (Talk&#124;Contribs) 06:30, 30 May 2013 (UTC)


 * The bigger problem is that the image means nothing to everyone who isn't familiar with the Microsoft Points symbol already. Without the text, it's confusing for too many people; with the text, it's redundant and doesn't add anything. Also, compared to a good-resolution version of the logo (such as wikipedia:File:Mspoints.PNG), this tiny image is barely recognizable even for people who know what it represents. -- Orthotope talk 07:11, 30 May 2013 (UTC)


 * That is the same image used in the microsoft marketplace. and by hovering over the image it says Microsoft Points.--007a83 (Talk&#124;Contribs) 02:32, 31 May 2013 (UTC)

expanding reddit links
Since reddit.com/r/minecraft has been included on the main page; I propose we add links to platform specific communities within reddit, since there are two substantial communities currently operating (one for MCXBLA and one for MCPE) and one smaller one for Pi Edition....

I think it'd be nice to pull the 'reddit' link - create a new section within the official links page titled 'Reddit Communities' which would include the following links:

http://www.reddit.com/r/minecraft - PC version

http://www.reddit.com/r/MCPE - PE version

http://www.reddit.com/r/minecraft360 - XBLA version

http://www.reddit.com/r/MCPI - Pi version <- optional due to its significantly smaller size

/r/minecraft360 has seen participation from /u/4JSteve - QA Bug Tester @ 4J Studios relating to upcoming features and confirming bug fixes as well as utilizing community participation for assembling bug lists for the last title update.

as well, /r/mcpe has seen participation from /u/jbernhardsson - mojang developer working on Pocket edition - regarding upcoming features / bugs and bug fixes, etc.

"Minecraft Wiki" logo
The "Wiki" in the box below is slightly of center on the vertical axis. --5ives 00:11, 25 May 2013 (UTC)


 * It's exactly 5px from either side. –ultradude25 ᐸ Talk Contribs 00:25, 25 May 2013 (UTC)


 * I think he meant the word "WIKI" inside the MCPE-esque box below the word "MINECRAFT" isn't vertically centered, which it isn't because of the angled perspective of the box. I don't see anything wrong.  01:06, 25 May 2013 (UTC)

Header
I've changed the header up a bit since there is already a lot of boxes on this page, so now it's styled more like an actual header. If this is agreeable I'd also like to take the opportunity to move the logo image over to the main page as well. It's been there so long that the original discussion has long since been archived, so I think it's about time it got added. –ultradude25 ᐸ Talk Contribs 00:55, 30 May 2013 (UTC)


 * Can you remove the line that is under "The official resource on everything Minecraft."?--007a83 (Talk&#124;Contribs) 06:38, 30 May 2013 (UTC)


 * Why? It's the same line used on headers. –ultradude25 ᐸ Talk Contribs 06:54, 30 May 2013 (UTC)


 * because it looks like double because of the boxes below.--007a83 (Talk&#124;Contribs) 02:30, 31 May 2013 (UTC)
