Nav box "prevparent" for 1.7.4/5/6
So hey Majr, I'm pretty new here, and I wanted to get your input on why you did a thing a certain way.

On the 1.8 snapshot pages, even for those released prior to 1.7.5, you changed the Navbox field 'prevparent' to 1.7.5. My instinct is that the 'prevparent' for those older snapshots would be 1.7.4, but I may be misunderstanding what 'prevparent' means. Any advice on why it should be 1.7.5?

Naturally this has implications for whenever they release 1.7.6 as well, which is why it comes to mind now.

 * I see it as being in version order. All those snapshots are for 1.8, thus they come after any 1.7 versions, even if they were chronologically released before. –Matt ⎜ 01:15, 4 April 2014 (UTC)

Template Person - Adding Reddit field
Hey Majr,

I've been wondering if it would be worthwhile creating a field in the Template:Person for reddit accounts. Notch, jeb, Grum and Dinnerbone are extremely active on reddit and I've also seen TheMogMiner, Searge, Junkboy, Mollstam and Johan post there too. It may lead to the template becoming too cluttered on employees' pages though...

Block rendering
I've noticed that you seem to do a majority of the 150x150 images used on the pages for blocks to show what the block looks like. I'm guessing that this is done in a 3D application, and I wanted to ask if it would be possible to get the template for making my own? WiduX (talk) 16:58, 12 April 2014 (UTC)


 * You're not the first to ask; see User talk:Majr/Archive 10. -- Orthotopetalk 18:36, 12 April 2014 (UTC)

Updates to Template:Version
The links of the Playstation 3 and Xbox edition links need to both link to the Console Edition version history pages. Also, the Xbox version is now 1.6.1 (TU seems to be used interchangeably between both Playstation and Xbox360 editions) and the Playstation 3 version is now 1.05. –Goandgoo ᐸ Talk Contribs Edits 03:07, 14 April 2014 (UTC)


 * Are we not able to just have a single console version instead of separate ones? –Matt ⎜ 03:19, 14 April 2014 (UTC)


 * I suppose so, but the problem is that although the content in the 2 versions is exactly the same, they have different version numbers. Also, please update the version numbers in Template:Version - 1.6.1 for Xbox and 1.05 for Playstation. –Goandgoo ᐸ Talk Contribs Edits 03:55, 14 April 2014 (UTC)


 * What about the TU versions? –Matt ⎜ 04:09, 14 April 2014 (UTC)


 * I think TU versions should represent the overarching console edition version, while the individual version numbers are for the respective editions (1.6.1 for Xbox and 1.05 for Playstation). –Goandgoo ᐸ Talk Contribs Edits 05:29, 14 April 2014 (UTC)

Updates to Template:History
Hi Majr, would you be able to make it so that links in Template:History are changed from Xbox 360 to the Console version history page? Would it also be possible for you to change the headers to console edition and add arguments so that I can change any references of the xbox edition to console edition? Thanks –Goandgoo ᐸ Talk Contribs Edits 23:01, 17 April 2014 (UTC)


 * It uses verlink so the versions will already point to the right place. –Matt ⎜ 01:10, 18 April 2014 (UTC)

Vandalism on pages
If I see a user vandalising pages, and there doesn't seem to be an active admin online (as was the case half an hour ago with Crazyyayabananas), as a Wiki Guardian am I allowed to ban them? –Goandgoo ᐸ Talk Contribs Edits 10:46, 18 April 2014 (UTC)


 * You are an admin, the name difference is just some technical nonsense. If you weren't allowed to, you wouldn't have block privileges. –Matt ⎜ 10:48, 18 April 2014 (UTC)

A Pocket Edition development versions in Template:V?
It will be useful if we can show the newest development versions by Template:Versions. Pocket Edition version history/Development versions a20001017 Talk 04:23, 2 May 2014 (UTC)


 * Since both the development version and the release version have alpha in the name, the word "build" will be used to tell that it is a snapshot. –Matt ⎜ 09:40, 2 May 2014 (UTC)


 * "0.8.0 build 8" does not point to right place of the page. "#A8" should be "#0.8.0 alpha build 8".
