Delete Template:Article class
I suggest to delete this template, because this complete system is unused. The template is still used on some archive pages (although, actually only on one, here), there you could "subst" the template. Opinions on it? Qwertxquartx (talk) 07:18, 9 August 2020 (UTC)

 * I don't think we need a vote on this, I'll try to delete it right away. -Xbony2 (talk) 18:01, 9 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I deleted the page, including all 30 other pages that referred to the template. Qwertxquartx (talk) 08:39, 13 August 2020 (UTC)

Astroflux for Editor
has made a bunch of documentation on various mods, including Thermal Foundation/Thermal Expansion 5, Extra Utilities 2, Immersive Engineering, Mystical Agriculture, and Cyclic. They have picked up wiki syntax pretty well and seem to be documenting WikiPack-style (that is, documenting whatever you use while playing) which is cool. -Xbony2 (talk) 21:47, 10 April 2020 (UTC)

Cutting the toolbar in half
It's been discussed. Requesting for the bottom half of User:Xbony2/common.css (the stuff under the commented out part) to be merged with the common CSS. It's a bit more than copy-paste if you do it right, but I think you can figure it out. -Xbony2 (talk) 20:27, 2 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Eh, I don't really like how this looks. Rather than a huge toolbar it's a cramped toolbar. Neither really look very good imo :| --  Satanic Santa 🎅F T B Wiki Admin 21:07, 2 October 2016 (UTC)
 * That's how I felt too at first, but try using it for a while. -Xbony2 (talk) 22:04, 2 October 2016 (UTC)
 * After using it for a month, how do you feel? Thinking of it as cramped makes sense for an initial reaction because of the scale change, but is about the same size as Wikipedia's and other wiki's. -Xbony2 (talk) 14:16, 6 November 2016 (UTC)
 * I want the logo in the corner to be larger, like it is on other wikis. My current CSS does that but it has a red line through the middle which is ugly. The bar itself is fine. --  Satanic Santa 🎅F T B Wiki Admin 18:46, 6 November 2016 (UTC)

I don't think I should be able to edit this page as an anonymous user. I was just clicking around from Foundry's wiki page.
 * - no, you have every right to. Anyone can request and discuss stuff. -Xbony2 (talk) 01:16, 29 November 2016 (UTC)

Spritesheet extension missing
The spritesheet extension we were using disappeared. To be honest I'd rather use multiple images than it anyway, since it's only used on Turbine (Advanced Generators); it doesn't have much of a benefit if any benefit at all, but it should be reinstalled or Turbine (Advanced Generators) should be fixed. -Xbony2 (talk) 23:21, 6 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Okay, since nobody cares, I'm probably going to split it up if nobody says anything. -Xbony2 (talk) 15:09, 11 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Get in contact with Scott first. --  Satanic Santa 🎅F T B Wiki Admin 18:17, 11 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Personally I don't see any reason you couldn't just make this into a standard template using the sprite sheet image as a background image for divs / table cells etc. with positioning adjustments or offsets made based on the tile selection code used. I usually do this by nesting an absolute-positioned div inside a relative-positioned container (either div or td) with expressions built with left and top offsets using a fixed size for the container being used as the viewport on the image. You use the image as either a background setting for the absolute positioned div, or simply include it inside that, while you set overflow to hidden for the relative part of the container.

Curseforge Interwiki link


Requesting interwiki link for Curseforge. Certainly it's years overdue... DSquirrelGM &#120035;&#120018; &#128504; 01:11, 22 July 2018 (UTC)

Adding German content
Hi Admins! I'm Admin of the German Minecraft Wiki where we have several mod articles. Now Sven79HD informed us that you have a German part in the FTB wiki: https://ftb.gamepedia.com/FTB_Wiki/de.

What do you think about moving our complete mod content to the FTB Wiki? (Of course only those articles which you would like to have.) The German MC Wiki would then create a mod navbox which would link directly to the FTB wiki an would mention the FTB wiki officially as source for Minecraft mod content. If you agree, I suggest that you (maybe Sven79HD) take what you want from our mod articles and after the transfer is finished you give us a note and we create our new mod navbox. What do you think about it? Sumpfhuette (talk) 11:13, 2 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Our starting page for mod articles: https://minecraft-de.gamepedia.com/Modifikation
 * Our current mod-navbox: https://minecraft-de.gamepedia.com/Vorlage:Navbox-Mods
 * Hi, welcome to the Official FTB Wiki! We use a translation software on here, so we take the pre-existing English article and translate it into different languages, so exporting complete pages will require finesse. -- Sir Moogle (🐥 • 💬 • 🌟) 07:34, 3 November 2018 (UTC)
