-== Description of my cleanup ==
--- <b>Updates for this text</b> --<br>
--- None --
-=== Wikimedia compliance ===
-:One of the benefit of that is, that you just learn one way to do things and you can edit every wikimedia based wiki.
-:I geared on Wikipedia standards.
-=== Sourcecode structure of pages ===
-==== Order of the content elements from top to bottom ====
-:At the top there are templates, files and datasheets, make at least a linebreak between every single one to keep that thing readable.
-:After that the table of content (<nowiki>__toc__</nowiki>), always on the left side.
-:The main captions have always two = at both sites: <nowiki>== Main caption ==</nowiki>, every subcaption needs to have one more = at both sides. One empty line between two main caption sections. Text of a caption section is direct under the caption, no empty line between them.
-:Medias are always at the right. No huge images, people can click on it to get a full view if they want to, do not force them to.
-:Navboxes are the second least and categories are the very least.
-:Categories are sorted from specific to generic.
-:When the template <nowiki>{{Languages}}</nowiki> is used at the top of the page, then it must be look like this: <nowiki>{{Languages|nocat=1}}</nowiki>, else it places the [https://wiki.minetest.net/Category:Languages_pages Languages pages] at the beginning of the category list. Further the <nowiki>[[Category:Languages_pages]]</nowiki> must be placed at the bottom manually.
-:An example of a restructured article be me (nearly no new or modified content): [https://wiki.minetest.net/index.php?title=Mods&action=historysubmit&diff=25628&oldid=24478 Article:Mods]
-==== Subpages ====
-:Structure here is Mainarticle -> Subpage.
-:That's it, no more subpages of subpages, that's an unclear mess.
-:Pages where this is the case will be merged to the main article or to one of its subpages.
-:Subpages must be linked in the main article.
-:Main pages for games and mods are already subpages of [[Games]] or [[Mods]], this will stay as it is.
-:Structure for game pages is:
-::<b>Games/NameOfTheGame</b> (presentation of the game, overview, summary, concept and so on)
-::<b>Games/NameOfTheGame/Recipes</b> (all recipes are here in, use [https://wiki.minetest.net/Template:Grid/Craft Template:Grid/Craft] for this, also smelting, fuels and stuff like that is here too, just everything that has do do with crafting)
-::<b>Games/NameOfTheGame/Items</b> (all items are here, this includes entities like animals and monsters too)
-::<b>Games/NameOfTheGame/Nodes</b> (all nodes are here)
-::<b>Games/NameOfTheGame/Tools</b> (all tools are here)
-:and optional:
-::<b>Games/NameOfTheGame/Tutorial</b>
-:No further subpages, all content must be distributed at those pages!
-:Same structure for mod pages (replace in the example above the word "Game" with the word "Mod").
-:An example how that looks like for the page Simple Mobs:
-:The old one was a subpage of the page [[Mods]], with even more subpages for every (!) single mob in that mod: [https://wiki.minetest.net/index.php?title=Mods/Simple_Mobs&oldid=18490 Mods/Simple Mobs(Old)]
-:Now it is stil a subpage of the page Mods, but I merged all the subpages for every single mob into the main article [https://wiki.minetest.net/index.php?title=Mods/Simple_Mobs&direction=next&oldid=24949 Mods/Simple Mobs(New)]
-:By the way it is not my fault, that this article isn't complete and up to date.
-=== Categories ===
-==== Renamed root category ====
-:The root category was renamed to [https://wiki.minetest.net/Category:Minetest_Wiki Category:Minetest_Wiki]
-:Why this name?
-:Because it is multilingual, when you visit a webpage called minetest.net you probably know what the word <i>minetest</i> means and it is called all the same in every language and even understandable if not written in the letters of other languages. That counts even more for the word <i>Wiki</i>.
-:The old root category [https://wiki.minetest.net/Category:Minetest_(Root_Category) Category:Minetest_(Root_Category)] does still exists, but only because I have not the permission to edit the main page at the moment.
-:Every supported language will get its own version of the new root category and subcategories in the letters of the particular language.
-:For example, the german version already exists and contains already some content: [https://wiki.minetest.net/Category:Minetest_Wiki_(Deutsch) Category:Minetest_Wiki_(Deutsch)]
-::<b>Issues</b>:
-::1. Some categories needs a suffix, or they would have the same name as the original english category. This is mostly the case for languages that use the same or similar letters as other languages.
-::German <-> english is such a case for example, so the category Engine is called Category:Engine_(Deutsch) in the german version.
-::Also the root category for every language must contain the language in brakets.
-::Solution: The word "Category" in other letters (for example in french: Catégorie) must get reconized by the wikimedia software, the same way as for the english version of the word.
-==== No game or mod specific categories ====
-:Wiki categories exist, to help maintain a wiki and give a well structured register to overview the wiki content.
-:All content that a game or a mod contains must be put in the main- and subpages for that game or mod.
-:Anything else is just a huge mess and only insane people want to maintain categories filled with that stuff.
-:All games are in [https://wiki.minetest.net/Category:Games Category:Games] and all mods are in [https://wiki.minetest.net/Category:Mods Category:Mods], no further branching of these categories.
-==== Redundant categories and such with unclear names ====
-:I move the content of such categories to other categories, or rename them.
-=== A page for the url wiki.minetest.net ===
-:At the moment visitors will be redirected to the english main page.
-:I suggest not to do that and have a simple page instead, that shows only "Minetest Wiki" and language buttons, that link to the main page in the choosen language.
-:Heres an example: [[User:Voxel/Test|wiki.minetest.net]]
-:With this it is possible to have nearly a complete own wiki for each language and more important: language specific pagenames.
-:So for example the actual german page for games
-::wiki.minetest.net/Games/de -> will change to -> wiki.minetest.net/Spiele (try to navigate there ;D)
-=== Participate ===
-:I would appreciate any help from other users, who would like to help me with these things, cause it is a lot of work!
-:When most of the basic work is done, I will post in the different language subforums of forum.minetest.net and ask people to help with that stuff (I can not speak and read all these languages for example).
-:Also I will create a main topic, to tell the community, that the wiki was renewed and that people should consider to partizipate and contribute in it.
-=== Further Ideas ===
-* We could "hire" testers, and let them editing the mod and game articles for example, after they tested them.
-* Or people who take photos of texture packs or scenes from games.
-* Merge the developer wiki into this one, so all wiki stuff is at one place.
