First of all, you've just combined a bunch of articles into one pointless article. Second, the Aether is a mod. I vote we delete this page. --Captain_Clam 01:08, 21 November 2012 (UTC)

It's also a copy of User:1234567890Number/Dimensions 2. Combining information into a userspace article for easy reference is fine, but we don't need duplicate mainspace articles. -- Orthotope 01:17, 21 November 2012 (UTC)

I can fix the page, and instead of combinding a lot of articles, make links to them. I can write about dimensions in general:
"Dimensions are different worlds with different terrain generators..." or something like that, but more measured. metarmask 18:00, 26 November 2012 (UTC)

I think what he meant was this page isn't needed anyway; the link directory at the bottom of each dimension's page already links to all the other in-game dimensions. Cobalt32 19:13, 26 November 2012 (UTC)
I Yes, but there's no information on the wiki that explain what a dimension is, just about dimension. There's no information about in what map each dimension is saved. I think the page is needed. metarmaskHi! I'm metarmask! 15:25, 27 November 2012 (UTC)
The term "dimension" isn't used in-game, and if there's no information on where data for the Nether or End is stored, then you might as well add that information to their respective articles rather than write a redundant article combining them all just so you can add a couple extra factoids that weren't there before.

You're right, thank you. metarmaskHi! I'm metarmask! 15:29, 27 November 2012 (UTC)

Log Entry No.8564:Blanked and turned Dimensions into a redirect page. --1234567890Number 22:07, 2 December 2012 (UTC)

Move proposal: "Dimension (disambiguation)" → "Dimension"; "Dimension" → "Dimension (data file)"

I think the primary meaning is still the concept of dimensions itself. The data pack-related article can't be primary because it defines instances of the concept "dimension".

It has been said that it's a disambiguation page, but I don't think it's required to name disambiguation page with "(disambiguation)" if there is no primary meaning that has its own, separate article. And in this case, the disambiguation could itself be viewed as related to the primary meaning.

The "(data file)" suffix added to the data pack thing is not final; I'm very willing to change it upon feedback as I'm not sure what to call it. --AttemptToCallNil (report bug, view backtrace) 11:33, 5 June 2020 (UTC)

I'm personally neutral to slight oppose, only because it'll be the only instance where a disambiguation page is the "base" page, while a non-disambiguation page with the "same" title would not be the "base" page. The only other exceptions are functions, and there it's only the case because java and bedrock function pages are separated. FVbico (talk) 11:36, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
I'm not sure how being an "only instance" is bad? Relying on precedent is hardly a good point in wiki discussions; it may be so other implementations should be changed for the exact same reason as this one. --AttemptToCallNil (report bug, view backtrace) 11:41, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
Because then it's inconsistent with the rest of the wiki, but as I said I mainly neutral on this. FVbico (talk) 11:44, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
 Oppose I think? Like FV said, it's inconsistent. Not sure though, I have mixed thoughts on this. -PancakeIdentity (talk) 18:40, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
