Minecraft Discontinued Features Wiki:How to Create a Page

This page is a tutorial on how to create a page. Every page should cover all the content that is seen on this page. If an existing page has not, then the relevant information should be added. Before creating a page, please ensure it qualifies as discontinued, not every bug creates a discontinued feature.

Style
When creating a wiki page, it is important that all pages follow a consistent format for easy editing and consistent reading.

In summary:
 * Title Case should be used for the feature title using American spelling
 * Versions should follow the official naming scheme
 * Main feature image should be an isometric render where applicable
 * Unknown or untested information should use the,   or   templates where applicable
 * Links to other pages must use the  template

More information can be found in the style guide.

Getting to the Creation Page
To get to the creation page you can click on a red link or use the search page. Search for the desired page title.



After, click on the red link with that name.



Infobox
Add an infobox including the template shown below at the top of your page. There are many other parameters that this template includes such as additional start and end versions or deleted versions. If you want more information on those other parameters, the documentation for the template has guides on how to use them. You can upload an image using uploaded image for the image parameter.

Introductory Paragraph
After the infobox should be an introductory paragraph. This should include a brief description of what the discontinued feature actually is (even if quite obvious) as well as other useful information such as its properties, the total obtainable version range, when it was converted or deleted if applicable, etc. If there is not much use for this item it can also be included in this section, otherwise it should be included in a separate uses section. This is a required section.

Obtaining Section
After the introductory paragraph, there should be an obtaining section with subsections for each method. Each subsection should include the version range it was obtainable and how to get it. If you are creating a method page, then this section should be called Performing instead.

Uses Section
If there are multiple uses for this discontinued feature, that either make the game easier to play or can lead to other discontinued features, include each use in a subsection in this section.

Gallery section
Upload and add images representing more aspects of this feature.

Combos Section
Create the list of other discontinued features that can be combined with feature, if applicable. If needed, divide them with slashes, if they are mutually exclusive.

See Also Section
After the information should be a see also section that links to other related pages. 2 or 3 other page links are good. This is a required section.

Trivia Section
Anything interesting about this feature that aren't directly applicable to Minecraft should go here. Things such as who discovered it, etc.

References Section
References should be the final section if any references exist. If the bug is tracked on the Mojira Bug Tracker, it should be included using the  template.

Categories
Finally, categories should be included at the end of the page. See the category tree for more examples of categories. Each section of categories must be used when creating your page, including its type, availability, intention, movability, observability, permanence, and persistence. For each intended block, the page must include all categories above it.

After Page Creation

 * Go to pages that should link to your page and add links to it.
 * Go to the correct version page (eg. 1.7) and add the discontinued feature to the table.
