Images
Hello, Saanoth here. I have a question regarding the images you recently uploaded. What program/technique did you use to cut the edges of the image so neatly? I am asking this because the we need a better image for the Chicken Jockey article. Thanks! Saanoth (talk 23:47, 11 January 2014 (UTC)


 * I actually made the image with paint.net, which is like paint only with the alpha channel. I pretty much made a cube with different colors for each "pixel", combined it into the model shape, then colored each pixel. The only problem is I must have only straight edge. I'll try the chicken jockey, thoughhis legs would be slightly straighter. KnightMiner (talk 00:23, 12 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Alright, Ill remember that. Is this the way the images for zombies and such were created? Saanoth (talk 00:27, 12 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Probably not, they have slight angles in their arms and such. They were made using blender I think. KnightMiner (talk 01:03, 12 January 2014 (UTC)

Formatting
Hi! I'd like to ask you for some simple help, and since you're and experienced Minecraft Wiki:er it won't be hard I think! :)

Currently I'm looking over my talk page, and I would like to add a kind of archive. Is there any way you can insert a box of sorts, that per default is hidden, and when you press show, you get to see old threads? I think I've seen it on the wiki before!

Thanks a bunch! :) Saanoth (talk 20:11, 13 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Well, make a new page in you userspace. You could try using the Template:Archive box or a wikitable for the archive box. Load it using at the beginning of your talk page. If you want Template:Archive box to collapse then load it using Template:LoadPage. KnightMiner (talk 22:15, 13 January 2014 (UTC)

I never said "every image had to be uploaded by me"! I'm only trying to help. And can you please tell JohnHOne to stop ruining the tree page?

 * My main point is several images from the Biome History page you uploaded new versions of, even though the original was fine already. --KnightMiner (talk 21:59, 8 February 2014 (UTC)

Fish pages
Hi KnightMiner, if you don't mind me asking, could you please tell me your reasoning behind separating the fish pages? Thanks. –Goandgoo ᐸ Talk Contribs Edit count 12:17, 22 February 2014 (UTC)


 * Two reasons.
 * One: to keep articles to the same standards. Steak and Raw Beef, Raw and Cooked Pork, and Different types of potatoes had separate articles.
 * Two: the fish article was really long. A one time wiki reader trying to find what a puffer fish does would have a lot of scrolling.
 * This may still not be the best solution. But it is a bit easier to find information.

Displaytitle
This only lets you change the capitalization of a page title, not the actual text; see the documentation at mediawikiwiki:Help:Magic words. To hide the User: prefix, you could use a span that sets the text color to be identical to the page background (#e6eff4). Like this. -- Orthotopetalk 03:34, 20 May 2014 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I figured that out shortly, so my second attempt was to rearrange it using div (I don't think it supports div either). I also found erasing the user: prefix using font size 0 looked a little better (except that weird gap at the bottom). Also, the article mentions an option to allow more than capitalization, and I don't know where to check to see if that is enabled. -- KnightMiner KnightMiner_Pickaxe_16x.png 04:04, 20 May 2014 (UTC)
