Add Main Page to root

Could you add the Main Page to the Category:Minetest (Root Category) so that one can walk the categories from there as designed here (wip)--Twoelk (talk) 20:26, 16 April 2014 (MSK)

Done. Calinou (t c), 21:37, 16 April 2014 (MSK)

You seem to be right. How do I move the pages and put redirects in place? --Twoelk (talk) 21:43, 25 April 2014 (MSK)

petite coquille sur la page http://wiki.minetest.net/Main_Page/fr

Salut, tu pourrais modifier cette phrase car 'altérant' est trop négatif je trouve ;)

C'est fait, j'ai mis « modifiant », un terme sans doute plus neutre. PS: pense à signer tes messages avec ~~~~ :) Calinou (t c), 00:00, 6 May 2014 (MSK)

Suggestion: Server subpages?

All of mods goes under Mods/ subpages, all of subgames goes under Subgames/ subpages, so why not if servers goes under Server/ subpages? I saw someone wrote about ROBOTS-server and ROBOTS_SKYBLOCK which are servers, I think it would be great if servers are included in the wiki too and it would be more organized if they're written under Server/ subpage.

So, what do you think? --Muhdnurhidayat ^{(talk | contribs | sig)} 18:16, 14 November 2017 (UTC)

This is a good idea, in general, community stuff like mods and servers should go to their own namespace (the mainspace being for things that are officially part of Minetest). However, I would make sure the server is particularly notable or popular before creating a page about it (so that we don't end up with hundreds of pages about servers).

I've made Template:Server Data for server pages, feel free to add or remove anything at the template. I'm also contacting a few server owners to get permission on making pages about their servers. I'm thinking that either servers which have more than 30 players as TOP value in servers.minetest.net list or servers running more than 2 years are both notable enough? --Muhdnurhidayat ^{(talk | contribs | sig)} 16:47, 17 November 2017 (UTC)

Restructuring and merging

Hi Calinou.

I decided to merge a lot of subpages into their main article, cause the most of these subpages containing nearly no content and it is just a waste of ressources on both sides, server and client.

Also it is a mess to find all these pages without using the page information link and after that the sublink for subpages (most wikimedia software users do not even know that these exist...), cause they are not all linked in the main article.

I will make some exceptions for large tutorials like robots and stuff like that, cause else the main article would be bloated.

I will set links to these these subpages in the main articles.

I also noticed, that the categories are inconsistent and some there were/are redundant (same topic different categories).

I created some new categories and putted a delete template in some others.

I decide to bring logic into these, like it is done in the wikipedia (correct and logical tree structures).

I contributed to wikipedia many years, so I am pretty familiar with it.

Further the translation pages are subpages, maybe you can not do it like it is at wikipedia, but they shouldn't all get the english category template in it, so I removed a lot of them.

We need category pages for all available translations, so that for example you have an english article about education purpose with the "Category:Education" template in it and the same article as subpage in french with the "Catégorie:Éducation" template in it.

Anything else is not clearly arranged and people who can not read english wont even be able to understand the categorie links at the bttom of the articles.

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).

Also I will create a main topic, to tell the the wiki was cleaned up and that people should consider to partizipate and contribute in it.

We could "hire" modtester, and let them editing the mod articles for example, or people who take photos of texture packs or scenes from games.

I have just started, so please be patient with me, cause the last... 8 hours or so?... I edited different things and most of the time I didn't used the summary, becuase I would have to write dozen times the same sentences... (did I mentioned that this wiki is abandoned and lacks on all places? ;D).

None of the three issues are solved yet, it will take some time.

Oh and do not be afraid I wont delete any content, except old one (for example I deleted a sentence in one article that recommends downloading mods from Minetest Bower).

Best regards
