Questions about the template[]
Two questions.
- What are we to do about 1.9. It's version is not prefixed in "Minecraft" and it's bugs are not marked as "Fixed".
- Can the "notfixedin" and the "affected" parameters some how be combined? Both seem to always contain the same versions.

- I would have argued earlier, that the reason they're marked with a fix version on the 1.9 list on the tracker, is to indicate that those bugfixes are being postponed til after 1.8, and scheduled to be fixed by 1.9. However I've seen them fix things from that very list. So I think the 1.9? list carries with it no connotation that 1.9 is when it'll be fixed. It seems like a list that just means "intended to fix soon" as opposed to not being on any to-do list at all.
- So I'm not sure those bugs even properly go in our 1.9 page.

- Overall, the entire 1.9 article is a odd case. It is basically an unknown version with a source of the mojang to do list.
- And as for question number 2? I really cannot think of any case where they would be different. --KnightMiner (t|c) 22:23, 9 August 2014 (UTC)
Boilerplate section headers[]
What about putting the boilerplate section headers in there; for instance maybe old, snaps and previous, where old would expand to ;From released versions before 1.8? Also could it figure out that if fixedin=14w03a, it should put "1.8" in the boilerplate strings? I am not sure if it could match fixedin against pages in {{Category:1.8_snapshots}} or something like that.

- What is to be done for ";previous" in the case of a pre-release which has a snapshot before it? or in the case of the development version list? --KnightMiner (t|c) 02:51, 10 August 2014 (UTC)
Fixedin optional[]
I was thinking, could it be done in such a way that, if 'fixedin' is omitted, it tries to use the page title (e.g. 14w02a) and if that's a real snapshot, it uses that to fill in 'old' and 'dev' and the tracker link.

Ready for use?[]
Should we start adding this template to more of the version articles? Basically is this going to be done automatically later? --KnightMiner (t|c) 02:14, 13 August 2014 (UTC)
