Questo articolo si propone di aiutare gli utenti a stendere articoli di qualità sulla Minecraft Wiki attraverso una guida allo stile.
Scrittura
Siccome questa wiki si basa su fatti documentati, non scrivere informazioni se non ne hai le fonti ufficiali. Le fonti non sono richieste se ciò a cui si riferiscono si trova direttamente nel gioco. Informazioni esterne, tuttavia, come per esempio citazioni da membri della Mojang, necessitano di documentazioni ben precise. Il template {{cn}} dev'essere piazzato dopo ogni informazione che necessita di fonte.
Le voci vanno sempre scritte in terza persona e in base alle regole della morfologia e della grammatica italiana. Per esempio, al posto di scrivere "Non avvicinarti troppo a un Creeper altrimenti esploderà e ti causerà danno" va scritto "Se Il Giocatore si avvicina troppo a un Creeper, esso, esplodendo, causerà danno". La scrittura dev'essere enciclopedica, quindi senza consigli, guide al gioco o simili ma con soltanto fatti oggettivi.
Normalmente si usa lo stampatello. Il corsivo si usa soltanto per i nomi di videogiochi (Minecraft, Infiniminer ecc.) e il grassetto soltanto all' inizio dell'articolo per indicare l'oggetto di cui si sta parlando (es. "La Terra è un blocco solido" ...)
Tenere aggiornati le voci
Le informazioni relative al soggetto di una voce devono essere aggiornate alla versione del rilascio ufficiale corrente, quindi niente versioni sperimentali. Le proprietà di queste ultime andranno nella sezione "Storia" nella pagina del soggetto. Quando qualcosa cambia, vanno rimosse le informazioni principali della versione precedente e inserite quelle della nuova versione. I cambiamenti precedenti andranno nella sezione "Storia". Non è necessario menzionare la prima versione in cui è comparso il soggetto, poiché andrà nel template o ancora nella sezione "Storia". Al posto di scrivere "Gli Smeraldi (prima chiamati "Rubini") sono un minerale..." va scritto "Gli Smeraldi sono un minerale...". Nessun residuo delle versioni precedenti a quella di cui tratta l'articolo devono restare se non nelle aree apposite. Alcuni dati, quindi, anche se presenti in un' attuale versione sperimentale, non devono essere scritti nella voce del soggetto finchè non sarà rilasciata la versione ufficiale.
Maiuscole e minuscole
Tutti i nomi comuni, nonostante nel gioco siano trattati come nomi propri, sulla wiki vanno con la lettera minuscola (es. La terra, la pietra, l' argilla...) mentre i nomi propri vanno con la lettera maiuscola (es. Gli Inferi, l' End...). Il nome di creature presenti unicamente in Minecraft (come il Creeper) vanno con la lettera maiuscola. Il resto degli animali presenti anche nella vita reale vengono trattati normalmente (es. "Il Ghast lancia palle di fuoco; il ragno attacca se al buio"). Le fasi di sviluppo e le edizioni vanno con la lettera maiuscola (es. La Indev, la Alpha, la Pocket Edition...). Anche il nome delle modalità di gioco vanno con la lettera maiuscola (es. La modalità Creativa) poiché non si tratta di aggettivi ma di nomi propri della modalità. Per l'uso generale di maiuscole e minuscole, vedi: Aiuto:Maiuscolo e minuscolo
Titoli di voci e di sezioni
Anche per i titoli di voci e sezioni valgono le regole di maiuscole e minuscole e soprattutto vanno al singolare (es. Canna da zucchero e non "Canne da zucchero")
Article main sections should start with level 2 headers (two equal signs) and increase by one for subsections. Never use level 1 headers (one equal sign). There should be one space between sections as well as one space between the equal signs and the section name for ease of editing. If any "main article" links or thumb images are used, place them immediately under the section header, and then a space after those before the section content. For information on which sections should be in which order, see the Article layout section of this style guide.
Italics
Any instance of "Minecraft" should be in italics. Any emphasis (in talk pages, etc.) should be in italics instead of being in bold or uppercase letters. Any instance of the name of a videogame should also be in italics. For instance: Team Fortress 3.
Image captions
Image captions should not have periods at the end, unless the phrase is a full sentence.
Overlinking and underlinking
- For a complete guide to linking, please refer to Wikipedia's Manual of Style for links.
The use of links is a difficult balance between providing the reader enough useful links to allow them to "wander through" articles and excessive linking which can distract them from their reading flow.
Underlinking can cause the reader to become frustrated because questions may arise about the article's contents which can only be resolved by using the search option or other sources for clarification, interrupting and distracting the reader.
Overlinking may distract the reader because links are usually colored differently causing the eye to shift focus constantly. Additionally, if the same word is linked multiple times in the same paragraph it can cause the reader to question if the links are directing them to different articles or not.
The guidelines for linking are:
- No more than 10 percent of the words in an article are contained in links.
- Unless it affects the sentence's wording and readability in a negative way, two links should not be next to each other in the text so that it looks like one link.
- Links for any single term should not be excessively repeated in the same article. Excessive linking is defined as multiple use of the same term, in a line or a paragraph, which will almost certainly appear needlessly on the viewer's screen. Remember, the purpose of links is to direct the reader to a new spot at the point(s) where the reader is most likely to take a temporary detour due to needing more information.
- Duplicating an important link distant from a previous occurrence in an article may well be appropriate. If an important term appears many times in a long article, but is only linked once at the very beginning of the article, it may actually be underlinked. Indeed, readers who jump directly to a subsection of interest must still be able to find a link. But take care in fixing such problems, the distance between duplicate links is an editor's preference, however if in doubt duplicate the term further down the article.
Date formatting
The Minecraft Wiki is an international community. That is a good thing in general, but it makes a problem for numeric abbreviations of dates, such as "12/10/11": while most countries abbreviate dates as day/month/year, some Asian countries use year/month/day, and the US uses month/day/year. So the above date could represent any of three different dates. To avoid this problem, most dates should be written in "Month, DD, YYYY" format, e.g. "December 10, 2011". Do not use superscripts or suffixes such as "April 23rd" or "4th of May". If a numeric or terse date is needed (such as in a table), then use YYYY-MM-DD, always with 2 digits for month and day (e.g., 2011-12-10 or 2012-05-04). Besides being the ISO standard, dates in this format will naturally sort properly, say if the table column is later made sortable.
Redstone structures
Template:Main
Write-ups for redstone circuits and mechanisms should follow a single convention on the wiki.
Article layout
All articles (with the exception of few) should use the following layout. Ensure section titles have one return space above them, one return space below them, and a space on either side of the title inside the equal signs. {{main}} article templates or any images in that section are placed directly under the section header with the return space below these.
- At the very top, applicable flags and templates, such as
{{snapshot}}for anything not yet in the full release,{{Block}}for blocks, and so on.
- Introduction with a general description.
- Article body, starting with first header.
Note: Keep in mind these are supposed to be h2 (two ='s). For the purpose of formatting on this page only, they are h3 (three ='s).
Introduction
The introduction section of an article is the section before the first heading. It should be capable of standing alone as a concise overview of the article, briefly describing its most important points.
The article's subject should be mentioned at the earliest natural point in the prose within the first sentence, and should appear in boldface. Only the first instance should be in boldface. For example:
- Pickaxes are one of the most commonly used tools in the game, being required to mine all ores and many other types of blocks. Different qualities of pickaxe are required to successfully harvest certain ores and blocks.
Obtaining
For blocks and items, this section contains information on how to obtain them in Survival mode without cheats. This includes information on blocks and items that generate naturally.
If there are multiple ways to obtain the block or item, these should be listed as a bullet list or as subsections of this section.
If there is only one way to obtain the block or item, this section may be named alternatively, e.g. Smelting or Crafting.
Usage
For blocks and items, this section contains information on what can be done with them. This includes using the article subject as a crafting or smelting ingredient, as food, or for trading, or exploiting special properties of a block, like using a button to create a redstone pulse.
Like the Obtaining section, this section should be divided into subsections or named alternatively if appropriate, e.g. As a crafting ingredient if the block or item is used in a crafting recipe.
Filling this section with tips on architecture and interior design should generally be avoided.
Any other sections go here, between Usage and Data values.
Data values
This section contains a list of possible Data values for the block or item in question. The list should be on a subpage of the main article, e.g. Coal/DV, and use {{dvt}}. The subpage should then be transcluded into the Data values section with {{/DV}}.
If the section contains any descriptive text in addition to the list, this text should also be included in the /DV subpage.
Achievements
This section contains any achievements related to the article subject. Achievement sections should be transcluded using {{load achievements}}, then a | and the achievement name. E.g. {{load achievements|Leader Of The Pack}}.
Video
The video section contains the video produced on the Minecraft Community Spotlight YouTube channel by Curse. Videos in this section should be embedded in a subpage of the main article, e.g. Block/video, and then transcluded into the Video section with {{/video}}. The only thing that should be in this section is the {{/video}}, with exception to notes that correct anything wrong in the video, or if the video isn't in that article's subpage, like {{:Tripwire/video}} on the String page.
History
History sections should use {{History}}. To provide accuracy, changes made in snapshots should retain the exact version of the change even when the update is released (e.g., 12w08a in addition to 1.2). This can be done using the {{{snap}}} parameter of {{History}} (e.g., {{History||1.6|snap=13w16a|Added horses.}}).
Issues
The Issues section should only contain {{Issue list}}. Nothing else goes in this section.
Trivia
Trivia should only be facts and contain no speculation or opinion. Trivia sections should only contain information that does not fit anywhere else in the article. Trivia should not be obvious to players and should be information that readers are not likely to know but would be interested in.
History-related trivia should be avoided if possible. E.g. “The original piston texture had an iron band running over the head. This was later removed, only leaving iron brackets around the corners and edges” should be merged into the relevant version information in the History section.
Trivia related to game visuals should be avoided as well, especially if the piece of trivia does not hold true for custom resource packs.

Guarda anche
Le sezioni guarda anche devono contenere solo link agli articoli che non sono stati menzionati da nessuna parte nell'articolo e sono rilevanti per la discussione.
Collegamenti
{{reflist}} di solito, ma se più colonne sono desiderate a causa di più collegamenti, aggiungi un numero: {{reflist|2}}, {{reflist|3}}, e così via.
- Dopo i collegamenti (doppio spazio) dovrebbe esserci un qualsiasi template di navigazione applicabile, tipo
{{blocchi}}, e poi le categorie applicabili. - L'ultima cosa su ogni pagina devono essere i link delle interwiki.
