Page names

[edit | edit source]

They should all start with a "Minecraft/" prefix. They use Title Case, exept for the following words:

  1. and
  2. in
  3. of
  4. the

Unless that word is the start of the title, like in "The End".

Links, items and mob naming, word style

There is no Skeleton, it is skeleton. Only "TNT", "The End", "Nether" and "Overworld" are capitalized.

Mob pages look something like this:

{{minecraft/mob

|intro=Something short and sweet.

|health=15|damage=3|danger=1
|spawning=In the Overworld in the dark, or in water at all light levels.

|class={{minecraft/fallimmune}}{{minecraft/water dwelling}}

|drops=*1 - 3 [[../Experience|exp. points]]

|des=This is the description.

|strategy=Tips for fighting or using this mob to your advantage.

|end=
Stuff like achivements:
==Achievements==
{{minecraft/achivement|Zombie doctor}}
}}
