About Minecraft PE 0.15.9 for Windows 10

Minecraft pocket edition 0.15.9 has been released for Windows 10.SteveZihang (talk) 13:06, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for providing proof that it has been released on Windows 10. -BDJP ^(t|c) 13:24, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

Can I ask, what do people who don't have PE on certain platforms usually check, to know that a certain version is 'released' on that platform? I have PE on Win 10 and android, but I don't have it on iOS, Fire OS or Windows Phone for instance. I've been checking the Android, iOS, FireOS, Windows 10, and Windows Phone store webpages. Is this a good source, if we personally don't have the game to refer to? – Sealbudsman ^talk/_contr 15:33, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

Apologies for not replying eariler, but I usually prefer to check the respective stores to see if they are available or not. In some cases, the stores usually update the version number some hours after that update has been released. -BDJP ^(t|c) 10:20, 28 September 2016 (UTC)

Okay, thanks! Same here. – Sealbudsman ^talk/_contr 11:49, 28 September 2016 (UTC)

Treating things as 'hoax' or 'unlikely'

If you haven't got a pocket edition to check, and you think some PE-related edit is a hoax or unlikely, maybe instead of reverting and deleting the edits, maybe check around with some PE players either here (I'm a PE player, you can always ping me) or in the community to verify. Usually in these cases, the edit is correct. – Sealbudsman ^talk/_contr 14:37, 8 October 2016 (UTC)

Alright. I'll remember for next time. I just ended up thinking it was a hoax becuase it wasn't listed on the beta website. -BDJP ^(t|c) 14:39, 8 October 2016 (UTC)

Understandable! I guess they don't keep it updated that reliably. – Sealbudsman ^talk/_contr 14:49, 8 October 2016 (UTC)

why

did you remove 0.17.0 page? I found refs. That was an hour of work!--Wyatt2050 (talk) 17:42, 16 October 2016 (UTC)

OK, lets see. Nothing is fully confirmed. -BDJP ^(t|c) 18:55, 16 October 2016 (UTC)

but can we keep the page?--Wyatt2050 (talk) 19:56, 16 October 2016 (UTC)

Is anything confirmed? If not, it violates the notability guidelines. –KnightMiner ^t/_c 03:18, 18 October 2016 (UTC)

Well I found some sources that tomcc said he would change the world build height, and change the levelchunk format.--Wyatt2050 (talk) 10:16, 2 November 2016 (UTC)

If you have sources, post them. If you don't provide a link, you don't have a source as far as the wiki is concerned. -- Orthotope^talk 03:18, 3 November 2016 (UTC)

I think they are right--66.50.41.11 20:27, 29 November 2016 (UTC)

Just to clarify, 0.17.0 will not be an update for PE; however, 1.0 will. Thanks, Maethoredhel (talk) 19:35, 3 December 2016 (UTC)

Welcome back!

It feels like it's been forever! – Sealbudsman ^talk/_contr 19:17, 3 December 2016 (UTC)

Yeah, my mind wasn't in the right place, so I took a break for a little while. All I have to do now is just whip up the plot for Episode 8 of MC:SM, plus add TU45 to the CE version history, check the sizes of everything, etc. etc. As for my YouTube channel, let me just say this: *Insert name of movie / tv show / song here* but *insert something weird that will happen to the movie / tv show / song here*. -BDJP ^(t|c) 20:55, 3 December 2016 (UTC)

Windows phone

How can you tell 1.0 is out on Windows phone - have you seen the update on Windows phone yourself? – Sealbudsman ^talk/_contr 20:19, 24 December 2016 (UTC)

This. -BDJP ^(t|c) 23:38, 24 December 2016 (UTC)

How do we know whether the store is lazy or the store is correct? – Sealbudsman ^talk/_contr 01:20, 25 December 2016 (UTC)

MinecraftBroJoe, are you able to check to see if 1.0 is available on Windows Phone? Can you provide a screenshot, also? -BDJP ^(t|c) 01:24, 25 December 2016 (UTC)

Can confirm it isn't out on Windows mobile. –Majr ᐸ Talk

Sealbudsman, Majr, Geg2004, sorry for interrupting Christmas, but what I'm specifically asking for is a screenshot in-game of PE on Windows Phone showing the version number. I knew I should've mentioned this earlier, but my mind didn't think of it until this morning. -BDJP ^(t|c) 18:21, 25 December 2016 (UTC)

The store already says the version, and I can confirm that the store is correct. Do people really need to provide image proof before you'll accept what everyone is saying is true? –Majr ᐸ Talk
Contribs 00:17, 26 December 2016 (UTC)

In-game, specifically, yes. -BDJP ^(t|c) 00:42, 26 December 2016 (UTC)

Thanks. My apologies for going as far as this. My autism is 100% to blame. -BDJP ^(t|c) 05:13, 26 December 2016 (UTC)

I can also give the in-game screenshot which says 0.16.2. http://imgur.com/1toa0hf Geg2004 (talk) 07:11, 26 December 2016 (UTC)

About the 1.0.4 image

Just for clarification, I screenshoted the 1.0.4 picture off of my android emulator. I did NOT use a random picture from Google Images. --SamGamgee55 (talk) 16:20, 15 February 2017 (UTC)

Mentioning "android emulator" clearly draws a red flag. Is there a reliable source for the photo, such as the feedback website or the pocketbeta website? -BDJP ^(t|c) 20:17, 15 February 2017 (UTC)

While the term "emulator" may have a negative connotation, due to SNES emulators and other such questionable things, Android emulators are entirely legitimate, and part of a typical app development environment.

At the same time, the image isn't an official one (a screenshot by a wiki editor never is), and so doesn't belong in the info box ... – Sealbudsman ^talk/_contr 01:34, 16 February 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for the clarification about putting images in the infobox, I'll go request that image for deletion.--SamGamgee55 (talk) 05:01, 16 February 2017 (UTC)

Parrot

Hi BDJP007301! I'm a user of Japanese Wiki. English is bad, but please understand.

Will you unprotect the pages of Parrot as 17w13a is released?--{{User:Beans1512/Sign}} 10:56, 30 March 2017 (UTC)

I can't, unfortunately. I'm not an administrator. -BDJP ^(t|c) 11:02, 30 March 2017 (UTC)

I'm very sorry. It was a mistake.--{{User:Beans1512/Sign}} 11:05, 30 March 2017 (UTC)

1.12's bug

Hello. I'm really sorry for making a noise while the other day.

Bug in the development version of 1.12 should not be written like "From 1.12"?--{{User:Beans1512/Sign}} 12:06, 31 March 2017 (UTC)

I've left a message on your talk page. 私はあなたのトークページにメッセージを残しました -BDJP ^(t|c) 12:12, 31 March 2017 (UTC)

Edit Reverted

Regarding edit reversion.

On Classic's version history article, there is no changelog entry for c0.30_01c, but there is one for c0.30_01. I can't find a proper source for my claim that the C version was a modded version, however you'll notice that any JARs of the C version you find will have their META-INF folder missing (or modified).

Edit reverted

Regarding this revert: https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/index.php?title=User:Sonicwave32&diff=next&oldid=1090908 The user is having an issue when he edits his user page and it logs him out. We have a known issue with the Special:RecentChanges transclusion. He asked for help and I put in a workaround for him. Please do not revert this edit again. --Alianin (talk) 15:37, 1 May 2017 (UTC)

I have that issue too! How do you fix it? User:Nixinova/sig

I fixed it on your profile. https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/index.php?title=User:Nixinova&curid=88341&diff=1095811&oldid=1094837 --Alianin (talk) 20:13, 12 May 2017 (UTC)

about format of Console_Edition_version_history

Hi, could you help to check the format of page Console_Edition_version_history, for the section 2017, the fifth column patch 3 crossed 6 rows, but consider its update time is 2017-05-30, I think it should only occupied 1 row. I believe that this page was sort by date & time, am I right? --Lijunduke (talk) 03:07, 31 May 2017 (UTC)

Hi there. I made the change to this specific cell, and the proper talk page for that would have been Talk:Console Edition version history. I did it that way because Nintendo Switch's Patch 3 also includes the versions from the other Editions, specifically Wii U Edition Patches 18 to 21. Each edition column is of course still sorted by date and time in itself. | violine1101^(Talk) 07:55, 31 May 2017 (UTC)

Achievements sprite module

It will display the correct sprites once the image cache clears and the current image version is available. For now it was just showing yesterday's image. – Sealbudsman ^talk/_contr 20:57, 23 June 2017 (UTC)

Re: TU55 / CU45 / 1.53 / 1.54 / Patch 25 / Patch 5 has not been released yet

Please note that Console updates are released later in North America than in Europe – I use 4JStudio's twitter feed as the only source; they've stated the update will be released as soon as possible. The information will be re-added in a few hours anyway, so your removal seems to be a bit fussy to me. | violine1101^(Talk) 15:45, 29 June 2017 (UTC)

That, of course, might definitely not mean today. -BDJP ^(t|c) 16:02, 29 June 2017 (UTC)

Well, for some reason the official changelogs in the forums say so. | violine1101^(Talk) 19:09, 29 June 2017 (UTC)

Yet the 4JStudios Twitter does not. Tweet regarding the bug fix update, and then the tweet regarding the update being rolled out for PS4 (while other platforms are in testing) two hours later. -BDJP ^(t|c) 19:15, 29 June 2017 (UTC)

Yeah, saw that as well. 4JStudios aren't very precise with their changelogs I guess. | violine1101^(Talk) 20:04, 29 June 2017 (UTC)

Why did you removed that part?

Hey man why did you removed that part? Is it because its a little off topic? I just did that to let players know that a removed feature of MCPE has appeared in Minecraft Story Mode Season 2. Nickfamztwitch (talk) 06:27, 2 July 2017 (UTC)

Notes concerning end compilation

Why did you remove the notes I left for these four files? They are needed. Changing the aspect ratio of a single file results in some ugly gaps between the images. Why would you want that? Fusseel (talk) 18:01, 8 July 2017 (UTC)

To be honest, they actually really aren't. The summary of an image is not meant to be left for notes. Instead, these go on the file talk page. -BDJP ^(t|c) 18:14, 8 July 2017 (UTC)

I only added them, because someone uploaded a new image with a different aspect ratio which resulted in those ugly gaps on the biome page. That clearly shows that a note is needed. And I really doubt that people are going to check every page a file is used on before uploading a new version so that they could figure out by themselves which aspect ratio is needed. Putting such a note on each talk page is pointless. No one checks there before uploading a new version. And where exactly can I read up on that rule prohibiting me from adding such a note directly to the main page of a file? Fusseel (talk) 18:30, 8 July 2017 (UTC)

While there is no rule regarding notes, some editors tend to also follow rules from Wikipedia (for example, WP:IUP#NAME which states that the description should basically describe what it is, not how it should be used). -BDJP ^(t|c) 18:51, 8 July 2017 (UTC)

From my understanding the small notes I left follow these rules very well: "ideally linking the article(s) it would be used on, and other identifying information that is not covered by the bullets below" – I included a link to the biome article and mentioned the current aspect ratio of the file as part of the identifying information that is not already covered. The need to preserve this aspect ratio also is part of the identifying information. I'd like to revert your removals and include these notes again if you don't have anything to add. Fusseel (talk) 19:08, 8 July 2017 (UTC)

We use the file pages as a dumping ground for categories and licenses. We don't have any style guide for them, nor do we routinely use any templates for describing all the details of a file (like the barely used {{information}}, which I would be fine with getting rid of entirely). Put whatever the hell you like there, if you ask me, I doubt anyone cares about them. –Majr ᐸ Talk
