Your actions regarding the naming of oak trees[]
Please start a discussion on the talkpage of the tree article instead of replacing the name everywhere.--Quatroking - MCWiki Administrator 04:00, 4 March 2012 (UTC)
- Please wait for a consensus in the discussion before replacing the name everywhere. --74.105.187.80 06:56, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
Oak trees are oak trees, not apple trees.[]
Oak trees are officially named oak trees, and not apple trees. Please do not change the names of oak trees to apple trees, unless/until Mojang stated that they will be changing the names of oak trees to that. Edit: I guess there is no official name for the 'default' trees, but please do not randomly replace the name oak tree with apple tree, as we have been using the name oak trees for a long time.

- Have you ever heard of a forest of apple trees? The real reason, though, is that you're making changes to an established standard before the discussion about doing so has reached a conclusion. Your 'proposal' (which is not the established way to decide things on this wiki) did not 'pass' simply because you were the only one to vote on it, on a wiki like this, such things are likely to go unnoticed when they exist only on a talk page. I've tried to bring attention to the matter through the Project:Community portal, but even that isn't checked often. I'd say, give the discussion a couple more weeks to play out. If there's enough support, I'll be happy to go along with the change. Until then, I would expect editors (not just myself) to revert your changes. I wish you luck in supporting your case. Have a great day! --74.105.187.80 06:38, 23 March 2012 (UTC)
- So, you reply to my joking introduction, but neglect to respond to the meat of my post? (BTW, there's no "biome: orchard" but there are plenty of standard trees in the forest biome) Unless "Proposals aren't meant to be showed off" was your reply, in which case... I'm not sure what you're saying. The only interpretation I can get out of it is "I don't want the wiki community to see that I'm trying to make a change". Proposals are meant to be reviewed by the wiki community, to provoke discussion and reach a conclusion. If the proposal is hidden away on an arbitrary talk page with nothing pointing it out, there's no way for that to happen. I appreciate that you're trying to improve the wiki, but the issue at hand clearly has opposition (not just me) that didn't see your proposal until your random deadline had passed. And there's going to be a lot of people that've been around since Alpha or before, who don't like your change because trees never, ever dropped apples until very recently. They do drop a form of acorn, though, known as a sapling. I will fully embrace the change if apples yield seeds which you then plant for new trees ;) or something like that. Happy editing! --74.105.187.80 03:01, 24 March 2012 (UTC)
- Slightly drunk, might make more sense in the morning :P --74.105.187.80 03:52, 24 March 2012 (UTC)
