Why capital?
I see it written with a small r more often than not. 99.253.198.49 22:36, 21 March 2012 (UTC)

Its impossible to make a title without a capital.

crafting recipes don't belong on disambiguation pages
This point was raised by user Orthotope and used as motivation to cull information from the disambiguation.

< response from original page author > There must be a clear and homogenous blurb definition if people searching Redstone are to find the articles they want.

The definition format is simple and is such; article subject | source | use this is a very common disambiguation definition format across many wikis.

Orthotope I will show some examples in the best interests of your understanding.

subject Source use

Redstone Ore - Redstone in its natural form. It's found deep underground and can be smashed producing Redstone Dust.

Redstone Dust - Redstone in a collectible form. Obtained from Redstone Ore it can be placed in the world producing Redstone Wire or used as a component in Crafting and Brewing.

Redstone Circuits / Advanced Redstone Circuits - projects built from Redstone components and regular blocks  which accomplish work by routing Redstone signals.

As you can see the definition format works the same for simple highly literal articles, as well as for complex abstract articles.

The fact is that people seeking articles usually have some combination of source use and subject; referencing these in a disambiguation page allows for smooth and minimal page traversal.

Thank you for your concern on this matter; more help is always welcome and there is no reason these pages can't change for the better ! But please in future ask questions and collect information about pages before trying to critically analyse them.

 * 1) I consider it unlikely that  would be unwilling to comment publicly.
 * 2) However, that is irrelevant, as this is a wiki; pages are not 'owned' by anyone, nor does the original author have any more say over their contents than any other user.
 * 3) Don't try to sockpuppet.
 * 4) Don't insult the admins.
 * 5) A brief description of what a block or item is used for is appropriate on a disambiguation page. The specific ingredients it is created from (such as repeaters being crafted from torches, dust, and stone) are not relevant, and do not help someone trying to find one of the linked-to pages. -- Orthotope 03:17, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
