Old glass[]

Can I have the classic glass texture before 1.14 sorry if I bad at grammar and editing (include colored glass) – Unsigned comment added by WarpenIsnoob (talk • contribs). Sign comments with ~~~~

--TreeIsLife (talk) 16:22, 18 January 2024 (UTC)

Well[]

I forgot to mention old glass pane texture. So, can I have the old glass pane texture (the “glass pane top” one) including all the colored?

Example: current glass pane top

Who Else Will Be Admin?[]

The fork was 132 days ago. No ones been promoted to anything since then except for SLScool, SLSbot, and some soap. I think we need more than a bunch of patrollers who forked and one admin. Who will be new patrollers and who will be new admin?StuckInAHypickle (talk) 07:30, 4 February 2024 (UTC)

I've promoted everyone to autopatrol or patroller that I can think of. I know the wiki had a process of sorts for recommending and promoting people to admin, but I never paid attention to it and I won't be following it unless someone wants me to and can point me to the rules on how it worked. In the meantime, anyone who has any recommendations for admin can leave them here. SLScool 23:08, 4 February 2024 (UTC)

Hmm, another admin on this wiki, interesting... (sorry, I'm 7 months late lol)

Obviously, for patrollers, others than SLScool (which technically is only an autopatrol), we also have Brain180 (which is me), TavianCLirette, and ReadySettySpaghetti. However, for admins, I'm think that there probably won't be any more admins on this wiki. However, if I have to give recommendations for admins, I think I can do it, and I have 4 recommendations.

1) TavianCLirette, he's an active user, who is on the wiki to edits stuffs, and also he will not (or at least doesn't have a plan to) move to the new wiki, so for me he's probably is the most perfect user to become an admin.

2) Brain180, which is of course myself. Now I'm kinda want to become an admin for reasons like being able to move pages, reupload files (plz note that only admins and above can do those 2 things on this wiki), and so much more. However at the same time, I probably don't really want to become an admin since I can only being an admin for 3 months before moving to the new wiki, especially with the forking policy which I believe say that if I move to the new wiki then I must take a break from being an admin on this wiki. So overall, I could become an admin on this wiki if won't migrate to the new wiki.

3) ReadySettySpaghetti, this guy is similar to TavianCLirette, but they make much less edits, but still a recommendation for being an admin.

4) Some more users (that I know) that wasn't vandalize this wiki, which I had covered in my user page. Now this technically is more than 1 user and those are probably have nothing special (other than not vandalizing this wiki), but again still a recommendation nevertheless.

Help! My dolphins keep dying[]

I am making an amusement marine park (for fun) and my dolphins suddenly take damage out of nowhere and I lost 10 dolphins that I tried permanently keeping, I have 50 tropical fish next to the dolphin tank and 5 glowing squid and none of them died, I’m on a PlayStation4 and in Bedrock Edition, this is my first time on this wiki so sorry if I mess anything up!

They die a few minutes, usually 10 to 20 minutes after I put them into the tank, they die later when i put a lead on them and get them out of the surface of the water and put them back in, I’m trying to find a solution because this is bothering me a lot and none of my other animals have the same problem.

2 other marine parks I made in seperate worlds also got corrupted so I had to delete them because it tells me to

Also, my world is flat if that’s worth mentioning. Comet 🦈 Talk 🦈 Contributions 18:24, 21 March 2024 (UTC)

Unlike tropical fish and glow squid, dolphins need both air and water. They start to die after being underwater for four consecutive minutes or after being out of water for two consecutive minutes; see Dolphin#Weaknesses for more information. I recommend leaving a gap of a few air blocks at the top of the tank. SLScool 21:33, 21 March 2024 (UTC)

The tank is open like the rest but they never rise up for air, where should I put the air gaps at? Comet 🦈 Talk 🦈 Contributions 07:46, 22 March 2024 (UTC) Edt by Razorwhip royal:Do you give them air? dolphins can Drown now-

Removing Snapshot Articles[]

SLScool and I have been thinking, and we don't know if we really need snapshot articles anymore. If you've worked on snapshot articles since the fork, I want to say thanks and point out, instead of making mediocre snapshot articles, you could now focus on making really great content articles. We were also wondering if we should stop being so reliant on Lua when no one on this wiki knows how to use Lua anymore, and this would be a good way to test it. So, we'd delete the snapshot articles, add simple lists of snapshots to the actual version articles, and clean up any red links. If you're an editor on this wiki, please share your thoughts. We'd love to hear them!StuckInAHypickle (talk) 07:27, 22 March 2024 (UTC)

Since there have been no objections, I will be carrying this out shortly. SLScool 16:02, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

I will now be doing this on some niche version articles. SLScool 03:25, 14 April 2024 (UTC)

I profoundly disagree that we should stop being so reliant on Lua because no one on this wiki knows how to use Lua anymore. Can't they learn? Especially since it can be much better at doing stuff than the alternatives like wikitext. If you don't believe me, see w:c:cell-to-singularity:Template:Current exploration. Yeah, it never worked until I started using the module. And I'm good at wikitext. See w:c:infinite-craft-nealfun:Template:Item and w:c:infinite-craft-nealfun:Template:El.

I implemented the ability to link to items with � in their names on Template:El, without Lua, and still I resorted to learning Lua just to show the current Cell to Singularity exploration. Converting modules to wikitext would just be a headache. I reckon it's likely that wikitext just isn't as powerful as modules/Lua. Fun fact, Lua is Roblox's language.

Does anyone know of a SAFE link to download Minecraft ERR422?[]

Now, I found Error 422 on Minecraft videos on YT, but I don’t know a good place to download it without getting 0787632489763459876234598762354 viruses. If you know where to download SAFELY then please contact me(SurgeHAmmerX). Thank you! Surge Hammer AX (talk) 20:34, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

Only 4 wither skeletons spawned so far in my 1.5.2 world. I resorted to mining out 2 70x20 rectangles with a 3 block roof and with a floor of nether bricks in the middle of the fortress. These rectangles still had some of the original pathways of the fortress in it and still noting spawned. There is not a single light source or open block leading to the outside. I tried turning it on peaceful mode and turning it back on hard for a few minutes many times and still none spawned. I tried this many different distances from the clearing. I even tried going back and fourth from the nether and the overworld. I can not think of nor have I found any way of getting them to spawn except wither roses which I cant get without wither skeletons. Please help me, i'm just going to keep trying to spawn them until this gets a response.IllllIlIvII (talk) 01:40, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

Uhhh?[]

Most pictures, if not all, are upside down on this wiki. Can you flip them right side up please? Or are you going to flip them on April 2nd, or are you going to flip them by noon? ( By the way, I'm a FIRM believer of "No April fool's day jokes after noon.) The10isGuy (talk) 19:41, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

Hello? The10isGuy (talk) 22:12, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

I will try to unflip some of them, I’m a firm believer of disliking April fools! Comet 🦈 Talk 🦈 Contributions 22:21, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

This was all for April Fools. It's gone now. StuckInAHypickle (talk) 07:00, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

I opted out of the April Fool's image flip by editing my user CSS. See User:Noisy miner/common.css. I think they should have included a notice explaining how to opt out of the flip. The fact that it was April Fool's Day does not mean it wasn't important to be able to see the images properly. By the way, I only noticed it when it was April 2nd for me; fun fact, most April Fool's content I've seen is in fact April 2 content according to my timezone. And seeing https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/MediaWiki:Common.css?diff=2357787&oldid=2357747, the images were actually flipped for a day and 50 minutes, meaning that there is nowhere on Earth where it was April Fool's Day the whole time, unless daylight saving time ended on April Fool's Day, making it last for 25 hours, which probably didn't happen this year. On the bright side, I learned some cool CSS from this. I saw how they flipped the images, and that's how I knew how to reverse it. Noisy miner (talk) 08:28, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

Can somebody please make a talk page?[]

I don’t know why there isn’t one yet, because that would be so much easier to use than this. So Please Surge Hammer AX (talk) 16:37, 4 April 2024 (UTC)

What are you talking about? This is a talk page. I think that you might mean the Discuss page. Which this wiki doesn't have, probably because it is a Gamepedia wiki, though most Fandom wikis have one. Now, since I don't admin any Gamepedia wikis, I don't know whether it's possible to enable the Discuss page on a Gamepedia wiki or not. Noisy miner (talk) 07:27, 27 September 2024 (UTC)

Yes, it is possible for us to get Discussions enabled (by asking staff to turn it on). SLScool 23:38, 27 September 2024 (UTC)

Consider how many Fandom haters are there, I don't think that you should enable Discussions, it's like vandalizing this wiki with edits isn't bad enough. If you enable Discussions, 95% of the Discussions with probably be something like "This wiki sucks, use the site that I cannot say instead!" or "Fandom is so evil, they just care about money".

Brain180, "click here to talk" 03:17, 28 September 2024 (UTC)

I think it'd be far less than 95%. I expect a lot of the users to simply be random people who found Discussions as a social media site for them to post on. That's how it was on the old Fandom Minecraft Wiki, and that's how I think it would be on this wiki. Neither Fandom staff nor I want to put up with that. SLScool 03:52, 28 September 2024 (UTC)

OK, but if you wanted to add Discussions on this wiki then you should make a rule about Discussions, after that, you should have another active admin (or someone active that can control the Discussions like me or TavianCLirette), which for me seems very difficult.

Brain180, "click here to talk" 16:41, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

Also worth pointing out that Fandom just recently added the Fan Central, with is kinda like the Discussions for Minecraft Wiki. And you are right, on the Fan Central, I don't see any Fandom hater's posts at all. So maybe it's a good idea to add Discussions on this wiki.

Brain180, "click here to talk" 16:30, 3 October 2024 (UTC)

We aren't adding Discussions. I'll make a post if that ever changes. SLScool 03:40, 4 October 2024 (UTC)

Well, that's sad. I also found out an old discussion about enabling discussions on this wiki, and they said no. So I don't think there'll be discussions soon.

Updating the Wiki's Policies[]

Eight months ago, the wiki forked, and almost all of the active users left with it. This significantly changed the remaining community, which in turn has affected how things happen on this wiki. To reflect this change, we should update the wiki's various rules and guidelines. I'd like to invite all of you to share your ideas on how to improve operations around here, whether or not they are specifically in response to our community shrinking. SLScool 04:43, 21 May 2024 (UTC)

I have several ideas, but I'll start with one. Two months ago, I called for the removal of, and later outright removed, snapshot articles. Next, I'm debating extending this idea to most of the mob and block renders on this wiki. For those who don't know, the wiki hosts images of every block and mob with every texture they've ever had. That's a lot of images for old versions of the game; do we need them? SLScool 04:55, 21 May 2024 (UTC)

Remove pre-1.0.0 versions[]

Versions of Classic, Indev, etc require a lot of maintenance to keep up with the latest discoveries in the archival state of versions not in the launcher, etc. Since the fork this wiki's Classic and pre-Classic pages are already becoming outdated. There's a risk of keeping misinformation as this wiki has no editors in that space anymore, and also already (I've only checked two pages!) I've found fake download links to lost versions. So deleting these pages is something to think about too. (Or just turning the pages into a table - I can do that for you if you like) Nixinova T C – Undated comment added at 21:34, 14 June 2024 (UTC). Sign comments with ~~~~

Support This is a big problem. It may seem small, since the only thing outdated is if we have the file and where but, this is actually a big deal. I asked a few friends who are interested in old versions of Minecraft, and they all said they use the wiki as the first place to find download links, so if the articles don't have good links then they might as well not exist.– Unsigned comment added by Eichibib (talk • contribs) at 16:28, 15 June 2024 (UTC). Sign comments with ~~~~

Oppose The pre-1.0.0 versions are significant to the game’s history and legacy. One example of this is that the main developer of post-1.0.0 versions was Jeb, instead of Notch. Also these versions laid the foundation for the game’s success. ReCrafter4J (talk) 01:34, 14 January 2025 (UTC)

Bro.[]

The Minecraft Wiki has moved and this wiki in Fandom is now outdated, so why is there pages about 1.21 in the fandom wiki if it's already moved? I even added a candidate for deletion template on two of the 1.21 pages until an admin reverted it and didn't give a reason. What the heck?

The noob: ALF2003 Official (talk) 16:55, 28 June 2024 (UTC)

Hey, so Fandom has a Forking Policy that says this wiki continues when it forks, and we can't make any rules to stop people making 1.21 articles on this wiki. Some people chose to make those articles on this wiki for whatever reason, that's why they exist. So you can't delete those articles because that's "Not how it works", and that's why SLScool removed your deletion templates. StuckInAHypickle (talk) 07:40, 29 June 2024 (UTC)

Has anyone ever befriended an Enderman?[]

I have an Enderman in my world and he recognizes me and he is friendly to me. He has been friends with me ever since I saved his life. Is this something that can happen? I have never heard of such a thing so I was wondering of this has happened to anyone before.

How can I move a page?[]

Idk why, but for some reason, I cannot move pages any more. Maybe because I take such a long break that I cannot move page, maybe because I missed something? Brain180, "click here to talk" 04:26, 27 August 2024 (UTC)

I think that due to persistent vandalism, moving pages has been changed to an action that only privileged users like admins, staff and SOAP members can do. Noisy miner (talk) 07:25, 27 August 2024 (UTC)

Okay, well I guess next time if I wanted to move a page on this wiki, I have to ask admins (like SLScool) to do it.

Brain180, "click here to talk" 07:49, 27 August 2024 (UTC)

I also realized that I could not edit any pages in the "Module" namespace even though before I could. This probably has the same reason as you talked about.

Brain180, "click here to talk" 06:00, 31 August 2024 (UTC)

You can check out Special:ListGroupRights for a full list of things you can and cannot do. It won't tell you how recently certain things were restricted, though. SLScool 16:24, 31 August 2024 (UTC)

But why can't you just enable the ability for users like me to move pages and to reupload files. I want to be able to move pages and reupload files.

Brain180, "click here to talk" 14:22, 16 October 2024 (UTC)

I also realized that I could not even reupload a file due to the reason above. This is the case with the "Stackable & Unstackable Items" image file and I wanted to reupload it but can't because again I CANNOT REUPLOAD FILES (sorry, this is (probably) the first time I'm mad about something in the wiki). So the only way to "reupload" that file is to upload the better version with a different name ("Stackable & unstackable items") and then ask the admin to delete the original file, which is way stupider than just simply reupload the file.

Brain180, "click here to talk" 07:48, 14 September 2024 (UTC)

I think they added that restriction because vandals were uploading new versions of files, such as Donkey from Shrek. But vandals absolutely do upload new files too. I agree that they shouldn't have the restriction that you can't upload new versions of files. Rather, they should protect files that get vandalised a lot.

I just realized that Fandom might be the king of wikis[]

I have edited this wiki for almost 3 years now and I didn't know almost any other wikis on Fandom until recently. In fact, I didn't know that this wiki is a part of Fandom until somewhere in 2023. Before I returned editing this wiki again, I only know about 3 Fandom wikis, which are the Minecraft Wiki, Feed The Beast Wiki (not to be confused with the MrBeast Wiki), and the Plants vs. Zombies Wiki. However, just recently, I discovered Wikitubia aka the YouTube Wiki, which made me read that wiki for over an hour, but more importantly made me wonder if there's exists any more Fandom wikis out there. And oh boy, when I started exploring, I was stocked by the amount of Fandom wikis out there, and also by the fact there're some wikis out of that I don't even think exist. Firstly, I explored some YouTuber wikis like MrBeast and PewDiePie Wiki, then I discovered some of my childhood shows wikis like the Mr. Bean wiki and The Amazing World of Gumball Wiki. After that, I found out some of the apps wikis like the Subway Surfers Wiki and even the Duolingo Wiki (yes the green owl that remind you of the Spanish lesson), which for me is insane to even think about. I even found out the Skibidi Toilet Wiki (yes the Gen Alpha's favorite wiki rn), the Chess wiki, and even the Math, Chemistry, and the History wiki, which made me went from "Brain180" to "Blown180". There're more wikis but I don't have time to show you all. This is also the reason why I'm not really active recently, because I explore many Fandom wikis that I could think of. Almost every time I think about a thing that I though there're won't be a wiki for, Fandom will have a wiki for it, which for me is ridiculous to even think about. That why I'm thinking that Fandom is the king of wikis, what is your thought on this, do you agree with me? Brain180, "click here to talk" 16:24, 3 October 2024 (UTC)

There are hundreds of thousands of wikis on Fandom. The first two wikis you mentioned, however, were originally on the platform Gamepedia before Fandom acquired it a few years ago, so that might be part of why you didn't know about Fandom back then. SLScool 03:40, 4 October 2024 (UTC)

I'm not sure if you're right or not. I started editing Minecraft Wiki on November 16th 2021, which is after the time Fandom taken over the Minecraft Wiki (which happened in March 9th 2021). However, for reading is a different story since I discovered the Minecraft Wiki (by accident) when I tried to search "Minecraft blocks" on Google at late-2020, which lead to Block, the first MCW article I read (which happened before Fandom took over MCW). So technically, you can say that's one of reasons why Idk Fandom back then. I also wanted to mention that Minecraft Wiki (and also the Math Wiki) is probably the easiest Fandom's wiki to edit on without accidentally breaking any rules. If you read the Wikitubia's rules (or other wiki rules), it's like the FNAF lore. Now I don't said that MCW should add more rules (even though I'm currently suggest adding a few more rules), I just want to say that MCW rules is easier to understand than most of other wikis on Fandom.

I am currently using Firefox and see button popup asking if I want to add this wiki as a search engine and when I try it it work better than expected being able to search page directly from urlbar such as https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Armor with just Armor or https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Special:Search?query=(EXAMPLE) if not any page exist and I wanna try that on the wiki fandom I was contributing, at first I try to just add https://example.fandom.com/wiki/%s on my search engine list but it won't redirect to https://example.fandom.com/wiki/Special:Search?query=%s if no such page exist so I read more article and find out this might related to thing called OpenSearch, Wikipedia also mention it about Search Plug-in or whatever with xml so if you guys know something about it, help would be appreciate Thanks! – Unsigned comment added by Poppulator (talk • contribs).

The Donkey event might happen again[]

Looking at this wiki rn, I have a bad feeling that this will likely be extremely raided again. Especially when the Donkey event already happened devastatingly with the big hate for Fandom. Combine with the fact that it's not hard to be an emailconfirmed user and all it takes it's just some random post about vandalizing this wiki somewhere on the Internet and yeah, you know what happens next. So we have to prepare for this, but don't have any ideas to prepare. How about you? Brain180, "click here to talk" 12:55, 12 November 2024 (UTC)

Okay, I have an idea on how to prepare for this. My idea is: As soon as the wiki get very raided, immediately lock the wiki for a few weeks until you think it's safe to unlocked the wiki again. However, this also means that only admins or above can edit this wiki during the lock, but it's okay, because all you need to do is giving the autopatrol user right to any user you trust, then make it so that only autopatrol or above can edit this wiki during the lock. And that's the plan, the list of users that's not vandalizing this wiki is on this page. While I think this is a perfect idea, I still feel like something is missing about it, idk what it is.

Ushering a New Standard of Quality to the Wiki[]

Good morning,

It has come to my attention that the articles of this wiki are lacking in quality. If you direct your attention to the current version of the Breeze Rod article, you will see how dire the situation is. It is not the only one, for many of our newest articles are small and inadequately written. Here, I put forth the problem is how articles are made. Right now, anyone can make an article with little to content in it, resulting in poor pages. This motivates other editors little. Why should they develop an article when it already exists? No, there is no apparent reason to, for you see, they see an article on the wiki, it is visible to all on the internet, and that is good enough. It exists, therefore it is. Existit, ergo est. You might thing this is not true, for are wikis not a place where anyone can contribute? Cannot someone start an article and have other editors expand it into something wonderful? Is this not what it means to be a wiki? And you should be right, and you would be right on many wikis. Here, however, it is no longer so. We do not have an army of editors who grow articles. We must fix this, and I shall propose its salvation.

Let us follow Wikipedia's example and have a drafting space in order to promote better articles. Let it be the namespace Draft: where pages are drafts, or a page Minecraft Wiki:Drafts where subpages are drafts. Anyone can start an article in the drafting space, and anyone can contribute, just as with articles today. However, as namespaced articles, they are not shown to the public. I said before an editor may see the article exists and is visible to all the internet and declare it is sufficient. Drafts will entirely eliminate the problem. All editors who see the draft will work on it so it may, when good enough, be moved and become a proper article. To support this, let main article creation be disabled, and let none move drafts to the main article space save admins, and only when the drafts are satisfactory. Editing can always proceed as normal, but creation and moving are restricted.

The competitor is outflanking us with vastly greater legions of vastly superior articles with vastly greater legions of vastly superior editors. Though Fandom fights hard for our side, we must fight, too. We must beat our splinter, and we will beat them with many good articles, but we must learn how to do so. By implementing a draft system, we will promote more and better articles. Editors will see one dream: to make many drafts and grow them until they are good enough for publication. As they grab their dreams, this wiki will see another: to retake its place as the ultimate resource for all things Minecraft!

SugentPene (talk) 07:59, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

Support. The fork happened almost 500 days ago and we're losing. The splinter, like you called it, is doing a much better job than us. If we want victory then there need to be some changes in how we roll. If we don't have an army of Brain180s then we need to encourage one. Drafts will encourage an army to rise up. Eichibib (talk) 15:59, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

I think this idea has potential. Like you said, it's possible that it'll motivate editors to work harder on new articles, and it'll certainly keep us from giving our many readers poor content. I'm not really worried what our readers think of this wiki because most of them don't realize wikis are a thing (they just go to Google or whatever, find and read a wiki article, and move on), but I do care about what it is that they are reading. With the draft system, they will only see an article on this wiki when that article is useful enough to help them out, but thanks to YouTube, the fork, and other sources, readers won't be missing out on any crucial information because they can find it elsewhere on the internet in the interim. Plus, I'm already used to reviewing every edit on this wiki, so there's very little overhead added with this system. SLScool 20:55, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

Then it's decided. Making a new name space for drafts will take some work so we'll start with Minecraft Wiki:Drafts how you suggested. I'll make the page and try to make the abuse filter to prevent main article creation and moving drafts to the main article space.StuckInAHypickle (talk) 20:55, 10 January 2025 (UTC)

Support If we want to come back from this, we need to take a proactive stance on this. The Draft system introduction is a good start, but we can do more. Also, we could re-add snapshot articles as Minecraft Wiki:Drafts. ReCrafter4J (talk) 17:25, 14 January 2025 (UTC)

Admin Privileges[]

The Minecraft Wiki is getting harder to edit because of restrictions, like Villager being fully protected and inability for non-admins to re-upload files, or promote Drafts and move pages, etc. Also there’s a lack of admins, so is there someone you’re thinking about promoting? ReCrafter4J (talk) 22:11, 30 March 2025 (UTC)

It sounds like you want some user(s) to get admin rights because of these perceived restrictions. However, that is not necessary. Some good news is that y'all should now be able to reupload files. Uploading and reuploading were restricted last year in response to vandalism. Six months ago, uploading was reinstated, and I asked our wiki representative to reinstate reuploading as well. He said he'd get back to me about it, but he never did, so I asked staff to reenable reuploading a few days ago. On the other hand, the occasional full protection of an article, such as Villager, isn't that inconvenient. The protections are usually temporary, talk pages are still open for making suggestions, and there are still thousands of unprotected articles that can still be edited. As for promoting drafts and moving pages: this isn't something that is needed very often and there's currently nothing in need of either (no drafts are presently ready for publication and everything in Category:Pending move still needs consensus and/or preparatory work).

I'm sorry to hear that! Maybe you can find something at https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/modpacks/new-berks-dawn. This wiki is just about Minecraft, not mods in detail. Also, I appreciate you want help, but this website is only for people 13 and up. If you're younger, you should stop using your account.StuckInAHypickle (talk) 06:30, 17 April 2025 (UTC)

Vandal[]

Someone has been vandalising wiki pages with their Discord and YouTube channels (One of the pages https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Allay). If anyone has an old enough account, please start deleting it if possible.

Templates[]

Some templates and modules need to be updated regularly, like Module:Inventory slot and Template:Protocol_version/Table. Therefore, I volunteer to edit those templates. Could I get the needed rights? ReCrafter4J (talk) 09:43, 5 May 2025 (UTC)

Undelete Snapshot Articles[]

So I’ve been thinking, and I realized that snapshot articles are a keystone of the Minecraft Wiki, helping document new and upcoming features. Therefore, I propose to undelete them. ReCrafter4J (talk) 23:19, 13 May 2025 (UTC)
