Talk:Red Sandstone

Better with sandstone?
Sand and red sand are in the same article, and this block is basically the same as sandstone, including all the crafting recipes. Would it be better to merge it with the sandstone article? --KnightMiner  (t 14:33, 6 August 2014 (UTC)


 * I'm pretty unsure. They are pretty much the same thing, except for data values, crafting, history, texture, etc. but it would significantly lengthen the article. - MinecraftPhotos4U (talk) 20:53, 7 August 2014 (UTC)


 * I'm unsure as well. Similar to sand and redsand which was already combined together, sandstone and red sandstone should also be written in the same page. However it is a little difficult to edit 6 items in the same page and it's also a little messy to read. As a translator who works for Chinese Minecraftwiki as a volunteer, I'm also waiting for the result of the discussion in order that we can start our translating work earlier.

 * I think they should be merged. Red Sandstone is simply a subset of Sandstone, a variant found only in mesas. Both pages are virtually identical, in both descriptions and the crafting recipes. Therefore merging the pages would be good for the sake of clarity and organization. Having two separate pages just takes up space, when a reader could more clearly identify and learn about both types if they were on the same page, with little to no drawbacks. I approve of merging these two articles, and I will gladly help if that's the case. --108.40.188.72 07:24, 16 August 2014 (UTC)


 * For the most part, the two are not used in any of the same recipes, which most other merged articles have (wood planks can all get used in the same recipes, and sand both make glass and tnt). Also, since there would then be so many variants, the article may just get crowded and have inconsistent trivia/history. Also, don't forget to check here. --KnightMiner  (t 16:59, 16 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Still not sure, it doesn't feel right to have Sand and Red sand to be on the same page but Red Snasdtone and Sandstone on separate. It doesn't seem right to fork into an odd number of articles. - MinecraftPhotos4U (talk) 17:33, 16 August 2014 (UTC)


 * I myself am still unsure, but Chinese Minecraftwiki has already decided to separate the two pages. HurryPeng (talk) 05:02, 17 August 2014 (UTC)

Should be merged with sandstone
Both share the same ID, and they are therefor technically the same block. All the recipes are also the same, so I believe that the two articles should be merged. Clone200 (talk)


 * They actually do not share the same id, but the rest is the same. (did you notice the other post?) --KnightMiner  (t 15:20, 6 August 2014 (UTC)


 * . Sand and red sand don't have any variations. Sandstone and red sandstone do. This is similar to how the stone variants each have their own article, but the polished versions don't. Also, red sandstone doesn't generate as part of desert temples or villages. —F‌enhl 15:27, 6 August 2014 (UTC)
