Rewriting structures
Some pages about generated structures also don't follow the style guide, so I think that a structure section can be useful. Use Comment for opinions. -- Naista2002  ♦   17:29, 8 October 2014 (UTC)
 * It should follow the steps:
 * Create a category for generated structures overall.
 * Create a category for rewritten pages about generated structures.
 * Create guidelines for rewriting structure pages.
 * Rewrite the pages.

 * We should start by discussing general rules on the style guide, as adding guidelines here does nothing as to making it official. After we have a few guidelines in place for those, we can add the categories and subpage for generated structures. —KnightMiner  (talk) 03:34, 9 October 2014 (UTC)


 * Some guidelines for rewriting structure pages are developed and awaiting approval. The Category:Structures category has first items in it. The draft for the project's page is here. -- Naista2002  ♦ Grid Book and Quill.png Grid Iron Pickaxe.png 09:04, 25 October 2014 (UTC)

Leaves rewrite
How can I get rid of the Appearance section of the leaves page? (in other words where should I put that information?) Or is simply leaving the Appearance section there ok? –Goandgoo ᐸ Talk Contribs Edits 21:29, 11 October 2014 (UTC)


 * I would move it under "Usage" The first fact is relevant to its usage as color, and the second and third describe its usage as a transparent block. –KnightMiner  (talk) 22:51, 11 October 2014 (UTC)


 * Yep. Doesn't even need a subheading, just one paragraph for color (relevant to builds) and another for light interaction. &mdash;munin &middot; Grid_Book_and_Quill.png Grid_Stone_Pickaxe.png &middot; 22:55, 11 October 2014 (UTC)


 * . I'll add it to the actual style guide. -- Naista2002  ♦ Grid Book and Quill.png Grid Iron Pickaxe.png 07:02, 12 October 2014 (UTC)


 * Please do not add anything to the style guide until consensus on the subject has been reached on the style guide talk page first. I don't even know what exactly you're proposing to add.


 * The purpose of this project is to rewrite articles. Making changes to the style guide is a related but separate issue and should only be done after discussion on the style guide talk page, so that people interested in the subject have a chance to notice the discussion and respond (and people in the future know where the discussion occurred). &mdash;munin &middot; Grid_Book_and_Quill.png Grid_Stone_Pickaxe.png &middot; 08:06, 12 October 2014 (UTC)

Bot in project
My bot, J.A.R.V.I.S., is replacing interwiki Twitter links with Tweet template. Is it allowed to add a bot to the project's team? -- Naista2002  ♦   06:34, 23 October 2014 (UTC)

 * Soon I may no longer wait., ? -- Naista2002  ♦ Grid Book and Quill.png Grid Iron Pickaxe.png 10:00, 23 October 2014 (UTC)


 * He could join the team I guess, if he wants to. On a more serious note, I don't see anything wrong with his joining, as he likely would have been helping out anyways. Just to make sure he is marked as a bot in the list (which he is). –KnightMiner  (talk) 15:22, 23 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks! For referencing a bot, use 'it' and 'its', not 'he', 'his' and 'him'. Also, for interest, the bot's name is an acronym. -- Naista2002  ♦ Grid Book and Quill.png Grid Iron Pickaxe.png 15:45, 23 October 2014 (UTC)

Tutorials

 * Sorry for my decreased activity. I became more active in Russian wiki.

The most "dirty" pages are tutorials. They are written by various users, and not much of them read the style guide, and thus there we have a mess. If stacked vertically, the amount of such bad-styled content would nearly beat original 7 WTC building in height.

We need a complete cleanup of these pages. I did some there. It might not be part of this project, but then it is still a related rewrite. There's no specific guidelines like with other sub-projects, as contents vary from tutorial to tutorial.

Any suggestions?

 * You're right, tutorial pages are messy and they don't follow the style guide. Laura Fidalgo  (Talk / Contribs)  17:52, 9 November 2014 (UTC)
