Archive, and editcopy page
Since the main page has now been updated, I propose we archive the talk page and start afresh, as all the talk that's here now relates to the old page. --DannyF1966 15:47, 3 December 2010 (CST)
 * I agree, i was going to make a post about adding a Mobs link to the front page as well. Makes sense as there are currently Blocks Items etc, although this doesn't currently fit in the "Blocks and Items" section. I can add it to the new page if this one is archived. --Wzade 15:50, 3 December 2010
 * There is now the Main Page/editcopy version of the mainpage for you guys to make suggestions for changes to be discussed by the community. You can feel free to edit that page so that people get a clear idea of what you want. Also, discussion about changes should be done on that page's talk page :D -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png|19px ]] talk  16:47, 3 December 2010 (CST)
 * Archive done. And editcopy linked above for permanence. :) Ephemeris 00:10, 15 December 2010 (CST)

How about a link to the mobs page?
I think we should have a link to the mobs too, they are half as important as blocks. MoonBeans 14:51, 4 December 2010 (CST)
 * Ditto. I came to suggest the same thing. (See Main Page/editcopy for someone's example). -- Ephemeris 21:02, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
 * I put the mobs link on the editcopy page... how long does it take for suggestions made on editcopy to filter through to the actual main page? --DannyF1966 03:39, 15 December 2010 (CST)
 * All has been updated. Thanks Kizzycocoa! -- Ephemeris 17:37, 15 December 2010 (CST)

Survival Test link fail...
I am pretty sure that Survival Test was removed the 16th December... So why is the link still there on the main page? -- BAMitisME
 * Did you think to actually click on the link? at 16:20, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

Minecraft article, Monobook problems
We need a page for Minecraft itself, why does it redirect to the main page? Also, the sidebar and the top bar are messed up on Monobook. --Fifteen (talk 12:42, 20 December 2010 (CST)

Beta
As minecraft is now in beta, shouldn't we change the things that go about alpha to beta?

Beta has also been updated to 1.1_01. ∆ LabGecko talk  18:03, 22 December 2010 (CST)

Beta is now v1.2! VonExis 17:42, 13 January 2011 (UTC)!

Updates, news and events
"builts" should be changed to "builds" to match industry standards. ∆ LabGecko talk  00:07, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

You know, the news and events haven't been changed since December 22. We should really get around to that.--Jlin8002 07:41, 13 January 2011 (UTC)

How about adding a "What's New" section? For example, beta 1.2 came out today. I'd love to see a summary of all the changes. -- Heynow 23:13, 13 January 2011 (UTC)

The Game
I suggest changing:
 * The player takes an avatar that can destroy or create blocks, forming fantastic structures, creations and artwork across the various multiplayer servers in multiple game modes.
 * To:
 * The player exists in the game as an avatar that can create or destroy blocks, forming fantastic structures, creations and artwork with multiple levels of danger to choose from.


 * Reason: I believe the suggested change is easier to read and more accurately reflects the current state of the game. ∆ LabGecko  talk  00:18, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

Change of Logo?
I think the bookshelf block represents knowledge in Minecraft, so possibly we could change the logo to a bookshelf block?

Minecraft Wiki
Why did this page even get moved to Minecraft Wiki, instead of Main Page like every other wiki? Now when you look at the title it says "Minecraft Wiki - Minecraft Wiki", which just looks stupid. at 02:51, 1 January 2011 (UTC)
 * I agree. It also broke the directness of my bookmark, and presumably those of other people. I'd support moving it back to the standard wiki title of Main Page. -- Ephemeris 04:25, 1 January 2011 (UTC)


 * SEO I assume. Ose 08:43, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
 * This is a search engine assist, especially considering all of the look alike sites that are cropping up. Also, not "every other wiki" has their front page named "main page". Only those that don't know better. -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png|19px ]] talk  17:28, 10 January 2011 (UTC)
