This article is a work in progress. 
Please help in the expansion or creation of this article by expanding or improving it. The talk page may contain suggestions.
Note: Currently undergoing a major refactoring - it's probably a bad idea to have two separate history sections for one page, so this page will be converted to a page dedicated to showing asset and data value changes. Once reasonably complete, this will be proposed on the community portal. NOTE: As part of this proposal, only the sections for cobblestone and oak stairs are (reasonably) complete - later sections are to come after discussion of layout and other details is done.

This page documents an in-depth history of assets relating to stairs.
