Minecraft Forum links
This wiki has lots of references to topics on Minecraft Forum. In order to keep things accurate and safe, I suggest the following: --Robotkoer (talk) 07:17, 6 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Replace all HTTP links with HTTPS (essentially batch replace string  with   on all articles)
 * Since Minecraft Forum will soon become read-only, how about appending the word "archived" to links that refer to it?
 * Regarding your second point, I figured it would be wise to tell everyone that it isn’t going into Read Only. Regarding your first point, this may or may not be needed as HTTP is usually converted to HTTPS in modern browsers. Tomodachi94 (talk) 11:14, 13 December 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)

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)

Xbony2 for Bureaucrat
Well folks, it is that time again. I declare here and now a vote on whether or not I should be granted the role of "Bureaucrat." There are two bureaucrats currently: and. SatanicSanta used to be quite active, but he has been effectively inactive for a long time. He is not dead, and on occasion does stuff, but it seems he has other tasks that warrant his attention over the wiki. Which is perfectly fine. Retep998 is active on the Discord, but often unwilling to take action without some prodding. Over the past couple years I have usually been the one reminding him to give role statuses to users who have been voted to have them. Sometimes he is a bit unreliable, hence why I would to have the Bureaucrat role myself.

To be honest, I am not as active as I used to be myself. However, I do keep track of all Discord activity, and as you can see by looking above and through the archives, I have usually been the sole person to nominate new Editors over the past few years. Once my spring semester of college starts (gulp), it's going to be hard to keep track of everything, but regardless, having two somewhat involved Bureaucrats I think will be better than one. (edit: just to note, this kind of vote usually lasts for two weeks) -Xbony2 (talk) 21:15, 16 December 2020 (UTC)

 * If he abuses it, then it can be revoked, right? Tomodachi94 (talk) 21:34, 16 December 2020 (UTC) (I forgot to sign in lol)
 * Bureaucrat enables some actions that are a bit harder to revoke. Retep998 (talk) 21:30, 16 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Yes. Gamepedia staff can swoop in at any time. Although after more than 6 years of editing, I hope we can rule abuse as unlikely. Although ummm, perhaps you should log in? -Xbony2 (talk) 21:32, 16 December 2020 (UTC)
 * (okay he logged in) -Xbony2 (talk) 21:38, 16 December 2020 (UTC)
 * I'm not quite sure if I'm still qualified to vote here, but when I was active in the wiki xbony2 was helpfup with everything, heck I even think he has the most contributions of us all combined here.. --sokratis12GR (talk) 21:44, 16 December 2020 (UTC)
 * By edit count, definitely, although I don't think that metric should be fetishized. Santa for example has probably done a bit more in terms of writing/fixing software for the wiki that we rely on. -Xbony2 (talk) 21:40, 16 December 2020 (UTC)
