Ampersand (&) vs. section mark (§)
Currently, the article seems to use these symbols (& and §) interchangeably. Can someone who's familiar with it confirm which one is correct, or if both can be used equivalently in-game? -- Orthotope 05:27, 26 June 2012 (UTC)
- I think the guys who created this (Pbfy0) confused the two symbols. It should be the section sign (§). - Asterick6 (talk) 20:55, 26 June 2012 (UTC)
- You are correct, it should be the section sign. I just undid the changes of someone who changed the sections signs to ampersands, and changed the remaining ampersands to section signs as well. Hopefully whoever did that will leave it alone now. 83.87.133.123 16:34, 4 July 2012 (UTC)
- I believe the reason some editors have made this mistake is because many bukkit servers run plugins that can change the "&" to "§" without the user even knowing, making it very easy to become confused. -- maxpowa 01:12, 15 July 2012 (UTC)
How do you get § sign?
I can't seem to paste it on to a sign... is there a keyboard shortcut?
Response: It's only a key on the keyboards of people in Europe... I've tried pasting AND doing the keyboard shortcut but neither of them work in minecraft (they do work in word processor programs and other text things like search engines). Anyone know how we cam make this work?
I switched to a layout that has the section sign and can still not type it, nor paste it. 166.248.64.81 03:58, 11 August 2012 (UTC)
- Pasting it in works for me in Book & Quill, but not in Talk. PhilHibbs 22:28, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
HEX Codes
I fixed the HEX codes to show the correct color code, it was weird, like White is supposed to be #FFFFFF but it was #3F3F3F which is a VERY dark grey. They were all different shades of extremely dark colors. The strange thing about this, causing me to write this post, is that this was there since the very beginning of the page's existance! Go back to very first edit, http://www.minecraftwiki.net/index.php?title=Formatting_codes&oldid=331409, and notice that its already there. Am I seriously the only person to ever use these HEX codes and notice this? 70.125.178.105 19:59, 13 November 2012 (UTC)
