Please help, glitched notification
I have a notification up on my notifications bar that will not go away. I've read it already. I've logged out and back in. It's making me insane, please help.

 * That is a known bug right now. Visit Special:Notifications and it will go away (there should also be a link to that page labeled "All Notifications" on the notifications menu). – KnightMiner  · (t) 15:27, 4 January 2016 (UTC)

Announcement: Official MCW App live on iOS and Android
Hello, this is a general notice that the Official app for MCW is now live on the Apple AppStore and Google Play. We plan to do a full official launch in a few weeks, but we invite everyone to check it out in the meantime! CrsBenjamin - (talk) 19:57, 11 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Note to all users: there are many issues with the app, causing many of the pages to not display correctly. I find it rather disappointing that despite me reporting many of these issues at the start of the development testing period, Curse's development team have basically ignored my bug reports and have gone ahead to release successive TestFlight updates without these fixes and to release the app anyway. Until these issues are fixed, I can't recommend any users to use the app. Also note that while not an issue per say, users cannot edit pages on the app. –Goandgoo ᐸ Talk Contribs 06:15, 12 January 2016 (UTC)


 * We're still hard at work improving the app! The app works well for use as a reference, which is its primary purpose. Its not meant to be an editing tool and will likely never be. We released the app as a "soft" launch because we're hoping to get more users involved so we can continue to add polish in the coming weeks. Please know that your feedback is definitely being taken into consideration. Also, we took a break from development over the holidays, so that contributes to the delayed response as well. I'd encourage everyone to check it out themselves and provide feedback using the link in the app sidebar. CrsBenjamin - (talk) [[File:User_Wynthyst_sig_icon.png]] 06:54, 12 January 2016 (UTC)


 * The application for the wiki seems really unnecessary. Readers could just find the wiki website itself and read it through the browser directly. — Agent NickTheRed37 (talk) 17:20, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

I am a beta tester of the Minecraft Wiki app. Advertizements sometimes randomly pop up (really annoying, although in the latest version, ads seem to have been removed), Navboxes and galleries don't work properly yet, and you can only read articles, no talk or user pages. You can't see the recent changes. Furthermore, you can only visit the English wiki. The wikis in other languages are not readable using the app. So the app is for English users only? In conclusion, the app is really unnecessary (and ill-conceived) as it is right now. There is no reason to use this app since it cannot be used efficiently yet. I really appreciate that Curse is working on such an app. But there is still much to be done to make this app efficient and better than the browser version. | violine1101(Talk) 21:52, 12 January 2016 (UTC)
 * I also have to say the app is disappointing. The mobile version of the browser website is ugly and buggy (I always use the desktop version on my phone), and I think there are many people who browse the wiki using their phone so an app would be a good idea. Using an app to edit articles would be a great help for editing and to gain new (potential) editors. But since this won't be possible, the app will be unnecessary and wiki authors will prefer the browser version. For a wiki reader who only wants to have a reference, the app has no advantages yet too.


 * For the mobile view on browsers, we're limited by MobileFrontend. We'll be upgrading Gamepedia to Mediawiki version 1.26 soon and that will allow us to also upgrade to the most recent version of that extension, which hopefully will improve mobile browsing. For the app, its mainly focused on more casual users. We understand that most of you, as power-editors, will likely not be using the app, but since we're still in a sort of beta phase, we hope that we can get constructive criticism from folks here. In terms of languages, the app (and mobile) are both by domain. As of now, we haven't decided if we will be creating localized versions of the app or creating a settings/preference for language swapping. Either way, its definitely on our road-map, but as the vast majority of visitors are to the EN wiki, that's where we decided to start. CrsBenjamin - (talk) [[File:User_Wynthyst_sig_icon.png]] 22:40, 12 January 2016 (UTC)


 * I cannot test the app myself due to lacking a device that support apps, but I do support the idea; partly because I have noticed users seem to prefer an app over the mobile web version (most likely due to convenience, if not just skipping having to run web browser features that are unrelated to the wiki), and partly because there are a lot of unofficial/fake Minecraft Wiki apps out there, most of which I doubt are trustworthy but still look "real" enough to fool users. So hopefully a lot of the bugs mentioned by others will get ironed out by the official release.
 * I do have one question though, which is does the app currently support/plan to support an offline mode? I know the whole wiki is a lot of data to store, but being at least able to store a few favorite pages offline would be a major selling point for the app. – KnightMiner  · (t) 04:33, 13 January 2016 (UTC)


 * We're knocking out bugs and working to improve things every day! As for an offline mode, we do have a great feature that allows users to favorite specific pages which are then cached on the device for offline use. CrsBenjamin - (talk) [[File:User_Wynthyst_sig_icon.png]] 16:56, 13 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Major issue, top of my wish list, is displaying tables directly in the page, not requiring the user press a button to view, as it currently does / recently did.
 * On a more positive note, I give my two thumbs up to the little floating circle nav button, that's something all of a sudden I wish was on desktop / mobile. Keep it up. – Sealbudsman talk/contr 18:10, 13 January 2016 (UTC)


 * We recently implemented a change so that tables that fit on the page are included as well as all infoboxes. The problem is that the majority of tables are either much wider than the page by default and require awkward horizontal scrolling, or get squished into the width available on the device and then are effectively useless. This is definitely an area we'll continue to work on. CrsBenjamin - (talk) [[File:User_Wynthyst_sig_icon.png]] 18:13, 13 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Oh I see it, thanks for letting me know. – Sealbudsman talk/contr 18:31, 13 January 2016 (UTC)

Pi Edition officially discontinued
Seeing that the Pi Edition has been officially discontinued (see here), I'm wondering what the effects of this should be on the wiki's pages. I know it has never been updated since its release, but I think we should no longer mark pages as Pi Edition exclusive, clearly mark that it is no longer officially supported, removed the Pi Edition mentioned features page, remove the Pi Edition version number/version history from the main page and remove references to the Pi Edition outside its own article. Thoughts? –Goandgoo ᐸ Talk Contribs 01:38, 26 January 2016 (UTC)


 * I think the mentioned features page can safely be deleted, though I am a little unsure what to do with it everywhere else. We already barely cover it on most pages (skipping Pi Edition exclusive/excluded features in most cases), so it might be better to just remove references to it and cover it only on the Pi edition articles (version history, a main one, and exclusive features which can maybe be changed into just "features"), as otherwise to keep pages consistent we would have to edit every page with Pi edition features to state what is not included (for example, on water) which is just about everything and will only grow over time.
 * so basically, I would agree to removing any pi exclusive markers, just stating those features it as Pocket Edition removed. Likewise, I would remove references from most other pages. – KnightMiner  · (t) 02:04, 26 January 2016 (UTC)


 * I agree. Would we still keep it on the front page? My gut says we wouldn't, but then it seems like it would be buried. – Sealbudsman talk/contr 04:20, 26 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Ok, so these are my preferences for what should happen in regards to the Pi Edition
 * Remove: Pi Edition only indications (on Old, Camera, Flower and other pages), Pi Edition mentioned features, version history number and icon on main page (top right), Play the Raspberry Pi Edition link on main page, link to r/MCPi on main page, Pi Edition exclusive features
 * Keep: Pi Edition, Pi Edition version history, Version history link on bottom of main page, entries on the history table of articles
 * Change: Text regarding Pi Edition on main page and Pi Edition to state that it is no longer supported.
 * Thoughts? –Goandgoo ᐸ Talk Contribs 07:22, 26 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Sounds reasonable. If this is what happens, I don't worry about being too buried.  ... And remove the link to the Pi Edition Blog from the bottom of the main page, probably, since that's already linked on the Pi Edition page? – Sealbudsman talk/contr 14:20, 26 January 2016 (UTC)


 * I don't agree with keeping its version history. There is a single update other than the initial release which just "fixed bugs", which can just be documented on the edition's page. I would change the edition's page to document it as an isolated edition, so rather than say about difference with other editions, we just document what it does have, or start from the most similar version (e.g.: Pi Edition is similar to Pocket 0.5.0 except for X).
 * For the main page, I have proposed my changes for the edition boxes on the editcopy. –Majr ᐸ Talk Contribs 02:33, 27 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Ok, I think we can probably just state what blocks are in the version on the Pi Edition page. I don't really think we need links to it other than in the main body of text, and we can add something like "The Pi Edition never received any subsequent updates and is now officially discontinued." –Goandgoo</b> ᐸ <small style="display:inline-block;line-height:1em;vertical-align:-0.4em">Talk Contribs 03:14, 27 January 2016 (UTC)


 * So basically like Minecraft 4k? I'd agree to documenting it like that, especially since I doubt most of our viewers use that edition. – KnightMiner  · (t) 04:19, 27 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Yep, then a link to the Pi Edition can be added to the Pocket Edition template in the Versions row. –Goandgoo</b> ᐸ <small style="display:inline-block;line-height:1em;vertical-align:-0.4em">Talk Contribs 05:56, 27 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Would someone be able to make all links to 0.1.1 in the history table link to Pi Edition? Apart from that I think most of the changes are done. –Goandgoo</b> ᐸ <small style="display:inline-block;line-height:1em;vertical-align:-0.4em">Talk Contribs 07:33, 28 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Is there any reason the keep Pi in the history table? All the entries are just going to be "Added X." for a single version. –Majr ᐸ <small style=display:inline-block;line-height:9px;vertical-align:-3px>Talk Contribs 08:01, 28 January 2016 (UTC)


 * True, the version table is probably not necessary at all. Other people - thoughts on this? –Goandgoo</b> ᐸ <small style="display:inline-block;line-height:1em;vertical-align:-0.4em">Talk Contribs 11:52, 28 January 2016 (UTC)


 * I agree to removing it, it really has no useful information that is not said on Pi Edition. A bot should be able to easily remove the section. – KnightMiner  · (t) 15:09, 28 January 2016 (UTC)


 * We should keep the history pages, but we will note that the game is no longer updated. I used a message box like this on the main Pi edition page, which we could use as a template. The BlobsPaper.png 04:07, 2 February 2016 (UTC)


 * Why? Both pages are completely worthless. The first version is the same info as the pi edition page, and the second version just says "bug fixes". –Majr ᐸ <small style=display:inline-block;line-height:9px;vertical-align:-3px>Talk Contribs 04:37, 2 February 2016 (UTC)

Adding captions/descriptions to tables
The mobile app collapses tables and uses the description data attribute (and potentially the caption in the future) to describe the collapsed tables. As such, we need to add the attribute (or caption, if it is appropriate) on most of the tables on the wiki.

Category:Tables without description will be populated by pages with raw tables on them. Templates/modules which create tables will be done separately.

To add a mobile app only description, add the following to a table: { | data-description="App only description" To add a globally visible caption, add the following to a table: { | |+ Caption visible to all –Majr ᐸ <small style=display:inline-block;line-height:9px;vertical-align:-3px>Talk Contribs 03:07, 30 January 2016 (UTC)


 * The mobile app (android anyway) does display the data-description nicely, this is probably a good idea. It is awkward though when it spills over to the second line.  The spacing between the lines is Too Damn High.  Are you able to link the bug tracker here? – Sealbudsman <span style="transform: rotate(-16deg); display: inline-block; top: -1px; position: relative;">talk/contr 17:13, 30 January 2016 (UTC)


 * I don't know if there is a public bug tracker for the app, I believe you can report bugs if you're part of the beta, which I would assume you do from the app or the app store. –Majr ᐸ <small style=display:inline-block;line-height:9px;vertical-align:-3px>Talk Contribs 04:25, 2 February 2016 (UTC)


 * Found it. In the app, at the bottom of the app menu is a link to the google form they're using to report bugs / take suggestions. – Sealbudsman <span style="transform: rotate(-16deg); display: inline-block; top: -1px; position: relative;">talk/contr 05:55, 2 February 2016 (UTC)

Who deals with ads
I'm curious to know, Who deals with ads here?

 * I believe Curse is responsible for the ad networks. The Reddit post only shows the ad itself, so we only have their word that it was actually displayed on the wiki. -- Orthotopetalk 03:58, 31 January 2016 (UTC)


 * True, it could have been anything. On the other hand, it could have been one of the unofficial wikis too. – Sealbudsman <span style="transform: rotate(-16deg); display: inline-block; top: -1px; position: relative;">talk/contr 17:30, 31 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Just report malicious ads to staff and we'll send it on to the appropriate place. As stated on the reddit thread, in the case of a MC-based ad like this, you can also contact Mojang about it. –Majr ᐸ <small style=display:inline-block;line-height:9px;vertical-align:-3px>Talk Contribs 04:23, 2 February 2016 (UTC)

Wii U edition in history tables
I just added the parameter to history for the console editions. It is used in the same way as the other parameters for versions, and the current articles need to be updated to include the Wii U edtion. I would just autopopulate the versions, but it is my understanding that not all Console features are in the Wii U edition yet, so a personal touch might be better.

Before they are added though, there is the question of whether to use "Patch 1", or "1" as the format for Wii U versions. "Patch 1" looks less empty, but "1" is more consistent with PS versions. – KnightMiner  · (t) 22:25, 7 February 2016 (UTC)


 * "1" or "2" alone does not look like a version or a patch number. A "Patch" before it makes it clear that it is a patch number, so we should keep the "Patch"-prefix in my opinion. | violine1101(Talk) 23:02, 7 February 2016 (UTC)

Need Help
Gday Guys,

Not a pro at Minecraft. Kids play it, I don't.

They have Minecraft on their XBox 360. It did an upgrade on Saturday morning (from further research I think they call it TU32). Daughter was playing in the morning all good, came back after leaving it for a couple of hours and all her worlds and my sons world were gone. Very upset. Kind of got over it by Sunday. Started a new world and this morning, same thing the world is gone. Is this happening to others? Does anyone know how they can be recovered? Can you prevent future updates happening automatically so that backups can be done.

Please help. –Preceding unsigned comment was added by Barrel49 (talk • contribs) at 7:29, 15 February 2016 (UTC). Please sign your posts with

Adding Info to Pocket Edition Data Values Page
Hello! ThebigsmileXD has supplied some information to be added to the Pocket Edition data values page, but he's getting timeout errors when he tries to edit the page. We're unable to reproduce the error, so this could be related to location/hardware/any number of things. While we investigate the issue, the user welcomes other editors to add the information he's provided to the page! The information is: "Tripod camera 5F, Witch 2D, Minecarttnt 61, thrown enderpearl 57, minecartchest 62, minecarthopper 60 - POCKET EDITION DATA VALUES 0.14 ***IN HEX***". Thanks!

When do we describe bugs in articles?
No, not related to arthropods. ;) I reverted this edit because it's treating a lighting bug as if it were a feature, but Araxidis re-reverted. I thought the style guide recommended to generally not detail every minor bug in the articles, but I can't find that language anywhere. Am I mistaken? Anomie x (talk) 18:45, 18 March 2016 (UTC)


 * There are:
 * Image guidelines mentioning bugs at Minecraft_Wiki:Style_guide.
 * The Minecraft_Wiki:Style_guide/Features page gives a guideline about bugs in the history section.
 * The Issues section always directs a person to report a bug on the tracker, and not list it on the wiki.
 * I do recall some conversation, long ago (vague, I know, I can't even remember the particular example), where people agreed that if game behavior departs significantly from what the wiki says, so that a player could get confused and misled by reading the wiki, then buggy or not, the wiki should be corrected to reflect what the game is doing. I'm not convinced this grass path thing is one of those examples...
 * Even then, I think there's always going to be a question of interpretation between editors, whether certain things are bugs or not, and I think that's probably one of those things that just has to be hashed out on talk pages. – Sealbudsman <span style="transform: rotate(-16deg); display: inline-block; top: -1px; position: relative;">talk/contr 19:13, 18 March 2016 (UTC)


 * I don't recall any official policy discussion on bugs in the main body, though I remember the specific sectional policies pointed out by Sealbudsman, and I do believe the discussions he was thinking of was either the wolves orange collar or the wither moving when invulnerable, of which I can find no discussion, but the edit summaries seem to agree that both of them are notable since they otherwise made the wiki wrong. We really could use an official policy on this.
 * As for the specifics of the policy, a good starting place is a bug that changes or blocks an intentional mechanic, in which case it will just need to state the intentional and actual behavior (or mention it crashes) with a bug reference. Minor visual bugs would likely be exempt from this, as that could only really have an effect on decoration.
 * I am having trouble deciding where to draw the line beyond bugs changing a mechanic though, as some bugs essentially add an unintentional mechanic that was simply accepted as part of the game. A few specific examples of things we covered:
 * Block update detectors and the related piston bugs are widely accepted as features and I recall mention that it would not be intentionally fixed until an actual BUD exists.
 * The bug with slabs above ice being slippery, even though it is not the surface. By extension, there is the additional slowdown with ice below soul sand due to mobs attempting to gain traction on ice without being able to gain speed due to soul sand.
 * The bug with dark oak saplings removing blocks below the tree, which I say shouldn't have been covered if it were not so widely popular (which was due to the fact it could "break" bedrock, but then again so could beds in the same era)
 * And some we did/do not cover:
 * Mobs attacking through weird block hitboxes, such as block corners and doors. This bug is widely known as expected, but we simply ignore it as a bug
 * The pre-1.9 item elevator design with items moving upwards in blocks, again widely used (mainly in the technical community) but we did not really cover the bug behind it on the item entity page
 * Between what we did cover, I am currently struggling to come up with how to state the distinction between the two (it is just some feel like bugs, while some feel like Minecraft logic). – KnightMiner  · (t) 04:52, 19 March 2016 (UTC)

Inconsistencies in Boat history
I have found that in the 1.9 list of changes to boats, some changes can only be found in the boat article, while others can only be found in the articles on the snapshots in which they appeared, while others still are only in the article documenting 1.9. Can you please try your best at smoothing out these inconsistencies by making sure the changes are mentioned in all three kinds of pages? VeenM64 (talk) 19:42, 4 April 2016 (UTC)
 * I created a project in my userspace. The BlobsPaper.png 01:50, 10 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Please make sure that the pages on the individual snapshots of 1.9 are equal to the rest as well. VeenM64 (talk) 20:02, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Snapshots can be fixed after the project is finished. Since the user page is a project, users besides me can (and are encouraged to) work on it. The BlobsPaper.png 02:30, 19 April 2016 (UTC)
 * The snapshots, in my opinion, are just as crucial and important as the rest. I really think you should include them, as there could be changes which are missed entirely because they only appear on the snapshot pages. VeenM64 (talk) 19:43, 20 April 2016 (UTC)

 * Before the big boat overhaul, dinnerbone tweeted "Also, you'll be able to make them go much faster by tapping at the right rhythm. Boat races will be a thing!" I personally didn't hear much about it after that, from YouTube or r/minecraft or anywhere, plus the rowing controls never seemed to respond to rhythm, but it persisted in the wiki.

There is a discussion about bugs for a certain page. Should pages have a section about bugs? The BlobsPaper.png 17:38, 19 April 2016 (UTC)

 * I mean a section called "Bugs", and it would only be about modern bugs (in all the versions). The BlobsPaper.png 02:33, 22 April 2016 (UTC)

 * What benefit would that serve over the official bug tracker? Copying the list of bugs that still exist would simply be a pain especially when the tracker lists the exact same list (only more up to date), and only listing the "important ones" begs the question of who decides which bugs are important. I think it is much easier and more productive to simply help out on the bug tracker to keep that update to date (such as checking the list of bugs related to an article to see if they still affect the latest version) – KnightMiner  · (t) 04:34, 22 April 2016 (UTC)

How a block/item is worn in the helmet slot
I've seen lately, people have been adding pictures of items in helmet slots. They typically get removed because of the MCW:IMAGES rule "Images showcasing usage of specific features for decoration should be avoided."

I agree with the image rule so far as it means to avoid images of features in builds, like an end rod making part of a standing basketball hoop, or a fence gate making part of a chandelier, or a log making part of a rustic cabin. I think that the rule is intended to avoid a profusion of images of people's creative builds, and that it is a good rule for a number of reasons: such as that galleries would grow endlessly, and that imaginative use of blocks shouldn't be constrained by examples one sees in a list, and that these decorative uses are user-imagined rather than being a developer-made part of the item / block.

In contrast, I think that how a block/item is worn in the helmet slot is a first-class feature of the block / item, because the devs put in the time and trouble to position each item in particular ways. And therefore I think that it is not really subject to that rule, that those types of images ought to be allowed in the gallery, and that the rule could be clarified to some extent. – Sealbudsman <span style="transform: rotate(-16deg); display: inline-block; top: -1px; position: relative;">talk/contr 18:22, 28 April 2016 (UTC)
 * When the item can only be put in the head slot with commands, IMO it directly contributes to galleries being full of random mostly-useless images. Anomie x (talk) 18:35, 28 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Is it a general guideline that we omit things that can only be done with commands? – Sealbudsman <span style="transform: rotate(-16deg); display: inline-block; top: -1px; position: relative;">talk/contr 18:50, 28 April 2016 (UTC) ... Are things that can only be done with commands more "mostly-useless" than vanilla survival stuff? Or is it that are editors free to decide what features are mostly useless and don't need to be on the wiki? My thing is just, it's in the game, why not document it. Plus it would only be one image per page, max. – Sealbudsman <span style="transform: rotate(-16deg); display: inline-block; top: -1px; position: relative;">talk/contr 19:13, 28 April 2016 (UTC)
 * On the other hand if it's images that are the concern, would it be any better as text in a dedicated section in the body of the page, do you think? – Sealbudsman <span style="transform: rotate(-16deg); display: inline-block; top: -1px; position: relative;">talk/contr 19:14, 28 April 2016 (UTC)
 * We don't have a on every mob's page. This seems like the same sort of thing.
 * If someone wants to make a tutorial page about putting blocks on your head, IMO that would fit in much better than spamming it on random items' galleries. And we should require that the image use the Steve or Alex skin to at least cut down on the temptation for people to show off their skins by "being" the image for random-item-on-head all over the place, same as we require that screenshots don't use custom texture packs. Anomie x (talk) 19:28, 28 April 2016 (UTC)
 * I agree it would be a good rule in general, that if players (apart from developers) appear in pictures, they should be the Steve or Alex skin, unless it's topically important that it's a specific player (like deadMau5 maybe?), or a specific feature of a skin.
 * A tutorial page, it makes sense. Putting all that stuff in one place makes sense.  I would still think that page would be linked to from somewhere in the fence-gate / end-rod / etc pages? If not the usage section, the trivia section.
 * By and large, the blocks/items on the head render in a standard way, and I don't think it would be necessary to showcase them all, or to mention them all on their pages. I think it would be fine to show one example of the norm for blocks, say, 'stone', and one for, say, 'flower pot' – and then showcase the exceptions, those that are specially positioned.  And it would be those exceptions that would be even worth a mention on the items' and blocks' pages.  (In that way it would be kind of like how we already handle, to use your example.  When you summon any mob, it's just a normal mob, a behavior not worth mentioning on its page – except the ender dragon, whose /summon behaves unexpectedly.)  So the helmet-slot tutorial page would only need to be linked from those oddball blocks and items, those exceptions to the rule.
 * What do you think. – Sealbudsman <span style="transform: rotate(-16deg); display: inline-block; top: -1px; position: relative;">talk/contr 20:40, 28 April 2016 (UTC)
 * If we don't metion commands outside of the commands page, readers might get confused.

Why do we even archive by moving?
Pros of archiving by moving: Cons of archiving by moving: Have I missed something crucial? --AttemptToCallNil, previously known as GreenStone (report bug, view backtrace) 15:19, 23 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Edit history is preserved and fragmented. (Still preserved in copy-archiving, and a fragment may be possible to access by passing parameters to the history page.) Faster access to history in case such as Template:Unsigned placing (but who places this template into archives anyways? and the difference is insignificant).
 * Harder to archive selectively. Must move new topics out of archives.
 * Must perform an edit on the archive, and recreate the talk page.
 * A short but problematic intermediate period when the original talk page is not yet restored after a move-archive.
 * Old talk page history is no longer accessible (edit: correction: no longer accessible on the talk page itself).


 * Hmm .. sorry if I messed things up on Nether Wart Block .. I saw some more tenured people than me doing it, and I perceived that it kept archived talk together with those topics' history, and I assumed that was the desired effect. The cons associated with having to make one additional edit to move them, I consider relatively inconsequential; and the decision-making about what to move and what to keep is identical.
 * I realize that the (recent/current) Nether Wart Block conversation history is now fragmented, so that is something I probably should have avoided until conversations were completed.. – Sealbudsman <span style="transform: rotate(-16deg); display: inline-block; top: -1px; position: relative;">talk/contr 15:31, 23 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Minor correction. --AttemptToCallNil, previously known as GreenStone (report bug, view backtrace) 15:48, 23 May 2016 (UTC)


 * The reason I always do it using moving is just to keep the edit history with the actual code, basically the same reason page moves always are done using the move page feature. I prefer when looking at a discussion via edit history for it to still be on the actual page.
 * As for the cons, the first one is a case where I simply choose copy/paste moving, and the second and third I see as a minor inconvenience compared to the benefit of moving the page. As for the last one, I think the history is better synced with the page containing the topic than the original page, it keeps the page history neater (as if you leave a redirect when moving, you will always come to a point on the latest telling you where old topics are). – KnightMiner  · (t) 21:54, 23 May 2016 (UTC)
 * I think we should still archive by moving, since the edit history appears in the same page as the discussion. Users who want to find an old discussion can use the search inputbox (this is built into the template) rather than searching each page manually, then look at the edit history of the page.

Need some help with finishing 0.15 revamp templates + possible discussion
Hi, I think I need some help finishing up loose ends from revamping the 0.15 templates. I've revamped the template for versions of Pocket Edition to suit the 0.15 stuff and moved the realms builds to their own perspective pages. However, I may have broken a page or two in the progress, and I was wondering if some of the community (preferably well-known members and admins) could help fix that. I was sort of speedy on this, so a revert will be fine by me if that whats going to occur. Also, the discussion for this can be settled here, if thats OK. --MarioProtIV (talk) 20:17, 3 June 2016 (UTC)


 * Before this continues, I'm wondering whether the "Realms" builds are actually different to the non-Realms builds. From what it seems like the developers are saying, the 2nd build was released to fix Realms issues in the first build. Hence if this is the case then I think having these Realms and non-Realms builds just adds confusion and they should be merged back together. –Goandgoo</b> ᐸ <small style="display:inline-block;line-height:1em;vertical-align:-0.4em">Talk Contribs 01:26, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

Console Edition versions

 * For a summary: find a sane way to name the articles and it would be considered. The pocket edition uses the same versio number name format for all editions, but console has them different, leading to options of:
 * all in the title (looks messy, hard to remember/understand)
 * just one in the title (causes issues for versions not on that console, treats it as more important)

 * Just wanted to chime in here that there are multiple Minecraft editions with special features. (Also, hi! I'm the Manager, Programs & Community for Minecraft at MS) Windows 10 Edition Beta has features that aren't in any other version. Gear VR has features that aren't in any other version. Education Edition will continue to have features that aren't in any other version.

 * There's not really a way to convert one to the other, except by hand. Grid is, as you've seen, a bunch of Grid templates separated by line breaks. If you read the example on the BlockGrid documentation, it shows that the whole grid is enclosed within a single template.  As for making that work, first you'd set some parameters like g=grass, s=stone, et cetera, then it's a matter of typing out a 2x2 grid of characters that correspond to those blocks you've defined.  You can edit-source one of the layers at Desert Temple to see some examples how it works. –  Sealbudsman <span style="transform: rotate(-16deg); display: inline-block; top: -1px; position: relative;">talk/contr 12:20, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

Proposal to restrict bureaucrats’ rights
Right now bureaucrats, a special administrator group, have rights to assign users absolutely all privileged user statuses or resign them. Somebody could think this is great, and this could help in case of an incideny (like accidental assigning by Curse, which has, of course, a low chance of actually being a case), but this allows to do things which appear to be nonsense, like assigning someone Curse status, which is only meant for employees of the same-named organization which keeps this wiki project. Following the principle of least privilege, I suggest to discuss replacing the  bureaucrats’ right, which allows to change user rights, with a more rational set of rights, like it is done on Wikipedia:
 * Add groups: Bots, Bureaucrats, Administrators;
 * Remove groups: Bots, Bureaucrats, Administrators, Wiki guardians.

Yes, the list appears to be quite short, but that’s the most needed groups. I adhered to the following statements when chosing the groups:
 * CheckUsers have rights to see users’ confidential information. This is Curse (as said by Russian administrator AttemptToCallNil) doesn’t want the right to be available widely. Gamepedia wiki projects are not anywhere near the scale of Wikimedia projects, and so Curse employees are enough to check the users. If a local check user ever becomes needed, it could be assigned by Curse employees, like the stewards on Wikimedia wikis, but the user needs to possess juridical responsibility, and, probably, even disclose private data to Curse; I don’t exclude that an age limitation like one used on Wikimedia (no younger than 18 years, unless the legal age in the country the user lives in comes from the later age) won’t be bad. But that’s a different story.
 * The “widget editors” user group is also not of high requirement; [ widgets themselves are not numerous — there are only 3 of them]. Administrators already have the right to edit them, so the user group isn’t needed yet.
 * The “wiki guardian” user group is connected to the Claim Wiki mechanism. When a wiki project doesn’t have any administrators that are active for some time, the “Claim This Wiki” button becomes available. An active non-admin user can press it, where they can describe themselves to Curse. If the user is sought fitting by Curse, he or she gets special “wiki guardian” status. This is similar to administrator status, but, according to hearsays, has slightly less rights (the missing ones are probably not of high importance; we really need to thoroughly compare the statuses). It is not of use for bureaucrats, who can assign normal administrators which effectively don’t differ much. But I suggest that bureaucrats should have ability to turn a wiki guardian into a full administrators. If we’re going to have that feature, bureacrats shouldn’t have ability to assign the right, but should be able to remove it.
 * The status of bureaucrats itself implies a high level of responsibility, since ’crats are responsible for assigning statuses to users; one should have specific qualities to become a bureaucrat. I think they should have rights to assign others of their kind for simplicity’s sake, although I’m not fully sure. But what about resigning the status? This is a more difficult problem. Even Wikimedia projects differ in that ones allow bureaucrats to resign bureaucrat status, others don’t allow. The thing is that resigning such high statuses is specified to the so-called stewards, which can change any rights on any Wikimedia wiki and correspond to the Gamepedia’s Curse usergroup in this sense. I don’t see reasons behind this policy, but probably there is sense to stick to it. This is the most difficult point.
 * The Curse usergroup is only composed of Curse employees. There is no sense to assign normal users there. Resigning that status isn’t possible either; part of the reason is that the status isn’t specific to a wiki, it’s global.
 * There are also Curse_Admin and Cursebot rights. They also should be only left to Curse: the first is some mysterious subgroup of system administrators, the second is the group of Curse employees’ bots.

Someone could here see a pointless waste of time, but someone could see strengthening the wiki’s security. It’s not up to me to decide it, but the problem appears to be interesting. — <i class="nowrap" style="font-family: courier">NickTheRed37</b> (issues’ wall)</i> 14:36, 17 July 2016 (UTC)

How did MarioProtIV get this wrong? All he had to do was check this page: Special:Statistics | AndrewAB (talk 10:56, 19 July 2016 (UTC)


 * Likely he was looking at 'oldids': look through Special:RecentChanges and mouse over the links that say 'diff', and you'll see the links are of the form https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/index.php?title=Water/cz&curid=33496&diff=1000301&oldid=1000297 . The 'diff' parameter is the current revision, and the 'oldid' parameter is the id of the revision before it was changed.  It looks like it's an incrementing number – but very often it increments by more than 1, which is why it's already at a million. I'm surprised myself that it works like this, I'm not sure what's going on with that. –  Sealbudsman <span style="transform: rotate(-16deg); display: inline-block; top: -1px; position: relative;">talk/contr 12:12, 19 July 2016 (UTC)


 * Several actions - particularly moving and protecting pages, and uploading files - increase the revision ID counter, but not the page edit counter. Uploading a new file generates two revisions: one for creating the file description page, and another for the file itself. So the number of revisions tends to be significantly higher than the number of page edits, but there's no easy way to find the nth page edit, while it is easy to find an arbitrary revision. -- Orthotopetalk 17:41, 19 July 2016 (UTC)

Assets directory
Which website does the launcher download the assets folder from? "If you accidentally edit or remove the file from the original directory, the launcher will automatically re-download it again the next time you launch the game.

5000 articles on Russian Minecraft Wiki
Beware, we’re slowly but surely crouching on you: Russian Minecraft Wiki now has 5,000 pages defined as “articles” (the 5,000th page is Квазисоединимость, about quasi-connectivity, written by me), whereas your wiki has 5,081. A difference of mere 81 articles. Only 20 articles were made in the last 10 days on the Russian wiki, however, although rate of article writing in your wiki appears to be even slower. But anyway, even then you have hundreds of translation articles, so the Russian wiki was the biggest since a long time ago, although most articles need reworking.

Please take this just as mere rivalry ;) — <i class="nowrap" style="font-family: courier">NickTheRed37</b> (issues’ wall)</i> 15:15, 31 July 2016 (UTC)


 * Hmmm. What is defined as "articles"?  Image files?  Templates?  Modules?  Talk pages of any kind?  Also I know the English wiki has a few hundred pages dedicated to some old mods as well, so depending how you count things (I don't count those) that would make our count less as well, and it depends whether the Russian wiki has those as well.  Where would we go to look at page counts and page listings?  I love a good rivalry : D  –  Sealbudsman <span style="transform: rotate(-16deg); display: inline-block; top: -1px; position: relative;">talk/contr 17:18, 1 August 2016 (UTC)


 * (I answered my own question.) So, Special:Statistics and Special:AllPages tell us that we are comparing content pages, not files, templates, modules, redirects, etc.  That makes it interesting.  I agree, for the sake of comparing, we might also toss out things like the translation articles and the issues articles from the English count.  Does the Russian wiki have more tutorial articles, mod articles, or subpages like Food/table or Potato/ID?  –  Sealbudsman <span style="transform: rotate(-16deg); display: inline-block; top: -1px; position: relative;">talk/contr 17:45, 1 August 2016 (UTC)
 * They have a lot of mod documentation. There's some mod documentation here, but this isn't really used as a mod wiki, whereas the RU wiki is. If you considered the FTB Wiki to be the "modded wiki" counterpoint, and if you combined the article counts of this wiki and that wiki, you could say there are a total of 17.8k English articles covering the total modded and not modded worlds (although that still includes translation on both wikis). -Xbony2 (talk) 20:49, 1 August 2016 (UTC)

Redirect cleanup thingy
There's a lot of unneccesary redirects clogging up the wiki, which isn't necessarily bad, but the search bar returns a lot of results pointing to essentially the same subject. For example:



I'm mainly doing this job by myself, but decided to advertise it here to get it done quicker. So here's a few guidelines:

Redirects to delete


 * Misspellings (e.g. Emrald, Daimond)
 * Plurals formed simply by adding a suffix (e.g. Sticks, Ink Sacs – but not e.g. Blocks of diamond, Cacti)
 * Capitalization other than what is necessary to conform to the style guide (e.g. Block Of Coal, Cracked Stone bricks – but not e.g. Block of coal, Cracked stone bricks (all lowercase is valid in these cases))
 * Spacing differences (e.g. Abandoned Mine Shaft, Endcity)
 * Unneccesary bracketed terms (e.g. Diamond (Gem), Redstone (Dust))
 * Unneccesarily bracketed terms (e.g. Gold (Ingot), Glowstone (Dust))
 * Combinations of these (e.g. Iron blocks, Cracked Stone (Bricks))
 * Redirects that are not linked to anywhere
 * Redirects that are only linked from user pages, talk pages, pages in other languages, or a combination of these

Redirects to not delete


 * Variations of items using the actual in game names (e.g. Acacia Wood Stairs, Chiseled Stone Bricks)
 * Variations of item names in other English dialects (e.g. Compressed Ice, Leather Trousers)
 * Certain commonly used terms (e.g. Animal, Hostile)
 * Game version names (e.g. 1.3)
 * Enchantment names (e.g. Mending, Bane of Arthropods)
 * Villager professions (e.g. Blacksmith, Fisherman)
 * Mashed up Mushrooms in a bowl

As always, remember to check the WhatLinksHere page and change any links linking to the death row redirect to the actual page. Sometimes this can be a simple as changing something like Animals to Animals. Talk pages can be left as is, user pages can be either fixed or left for the user to clean up, and foreign language translations can be left to the translators (why would they be linking to an English language page anyway?)

- MinecraftPhotos4U (talk) 16:42, 8 August 2016 (UTC)


 * I am on board with all of this, except that I'm not too keen on getting rid of 'capitalization differences', or getting rid of plurals that aren't formed by adding an 's' (e.g. Cacti). Those are in place so the wikilink can be nicer:  rather than    Do you think we can, for now, leave those, and then see where we are after that? –  Sealbudsman <span style="transform: rotate(-16deg); display: inline-block; top: -1px; position: relative;">talk/contr 17:10, 8 August 2016 (UTC)
 * That makes sense, changed. - MinecraftPhotos4U (talk) 17:23, 8 August 2016 (UTC)

 * Exactly. - MinecraftPhotos4U (talk) 22:21, 8 August 2016 (UTC)


 * There are certainly some redirects that aren't needed, but keep in mind that just because there are no internal wiki links to a redirect doesn't necessarily mean it's unused. For example, the server download page at minecraft.net has a link to Setting up a server; that link would break if we removed the redirect. -- Orthotopetalk 20:49, 8 August 2016 (UTC)


 * Is there a way to check for links like these? - MinecraftPhotos4U (talk) 22:21, 8 August 2016 (UTC)

Translation projects
It appears like the translation projects have very low activity. Most, if not all translation articles appear to be utterly outdated, some use some very old technologies that were phased out a long time ago. But we have around a thousand of such articles. There are clearly not enough users to keep that up to date. There are already talks about the Czech translation being moved to a separate wiki, but that’s a rare exception since that project is quite developed.

Also, I don’t think basing the new wikis from the English section is good. The main problem is that not everything may be the best in this wiki project — the Russian wiki, for example, contains a few tutorial articles on buying the game, and also an overview on the history of textures. Another problem is that these articles are in the main namespace, which results in the exaggerated article count, with all deriving consequences. It might also be possible that the difference in writing systems may pose problems.

This language section isn’t really needed to make the translations work; Russian and Polish wikis were originally created independently, only later did they join the international project. An initial load of articles may be created elsewhere (perhaps an “incubator” of some sort?), then exported to a newly-created language section.

Here comes the question: do we really need unfinished translations on this wiki? If yes, should we create a separate “incubator” wiki to create new projects? — <i class="nowrap" style="font-family: courier"><b style="font-variant: small-caps; letter-spacing: 1px">NickTheRed37</b> (issues’ wall)</i> 12:02, 10 August 2016 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure what the best solution is for future translations, but certainly I'd like to delete the many inactive translations we have cluttering up the wiki. If there hasn't been any significant progress for over a year, I think it's safe to call the project dead. We can always restore the pages should someone like to pick up the project in the future. –Majr ᐸ <small style=display:inline-block;line-height:9px;vertical-align:-3px>Talk Contribs 04:51, 27 August 2016 (UTC)


 * Agree; and if you're counting 'significant progress for over a year,' be sure to not count any of my edits; I mostly stepped into those pages to fix sprites and things like that.
 * What does restoring deleted pages practically mean? Do you have the capacity to pull deleted pages from the trash? Or do you mean you would move them to some other namespace / other name, then move them back? –  Sealbudsman <span style="transform: rotate(-16deg); display: inline-block; top: -1px; position: relative;">talk/contr 19:41, 28 August 2016 (UTC)


 * Mediawiki doesn't tend to delete things the way files on your computer are deleted; instead, articles (or specific revisions) are essentially hidden from ordinary users. A user with the correct permissions (typically an admin) can still view and un-delete those articles. -- Orthotopetalk 21:23, 28 August 2016 (UTC)


 * Nick, I think you make good points; From time to time I've wondered about the technological innovation, organizational insight, or even simple facts that are present in the other language wikis, that because we're separate communities with language barriers, we are just not aware of -- the articles from the Russian wiki that you mention, about the history of textures, and about buying the game, are great examples of things that by and large, the English speaking editors just have not been aware of.
 * I am not sure that moving projects to a separate namespace within the English wiki is any less messy: it seems to me a single project would really need a full set of namespaces, because it would be those namespaces which would be picked up and set down into the new wiki -- but unless there were some cleaner way of doing it, every single reference to a template or module or file, etc, would have to first set up to work correctly within that framework here on the English wiki, then, rewritten to work correctly in its new location, once it was in its own wiki. I think a bot could probably handle the rewriting, but then I am not sure really what a bot can do, or what all the issues would be.
 * I am not sure an "incubator" wiki wouldn't suffer from the same problems. Have you seen an "incubator" wiki successfully working somewhere on the web?
 * Would it be possible to just give all these projects their own wikis, unfinished and outdated as they may be, and let that be that? Although that feels somehow a low-quality way of doing it...
 * are you familiar with the history of these translation projects -- I'm curious how many separate wikis have actually springboarded from the translation projects, and how many have come about through other means. – Sealbudsman <span style="transform: rotate(-16deg); display: inline-block; top: -1px; position: relative;">talk/contr 20:07, 28 August 2016 (UTC)

Based on no actual significant translation activity (from users listed as involved in the project, doesn't include non-translation edits) for a year, I propose we delete (or "archive") the following translation projects:
 * Arabic
 * Bulgarian
 * Catalan
 * Croatian
 * Danish
 * Esperanto
 * Estonian
 * Farsi
 * Finnish
 * Greek
 * Hebrew
 * Icelandic
 * Irish
 * Mohawk
 * Norwegian
 * Romanian
 * Serbian
 * Tagalog
 * Ukrainian
 * Vietnamese
 * Yiddish

The following projects have had some edits in the past year, but nothing more recently, so they seem to be on their way out:
 * Indonesian
 * Lithuanian
 * Slovak
 * Swedish
 * Thai
 * Turkish

I'll ping all the users listed as involved in these projects here so they have an opportunity to return to revive their projects: (hopefully this actually works with this many users...) –Majr ᐸ <small style=display:inline-block;line-height:9px;vertical-align:-3px>Talk Contribs 01:39, 29 August 2016 (UTC)


 * I would actually agree with inviting bilingual people from all over the world, tell them how wikis work, and let them work with the translations. But, once again, a separate wiki would be a better solution. I think a revised Gamepedia Help Wiki (with probable rename, as it would actually become not just a help wiki) would fit, but that needs conference with Curse.
