Block Id Param
Can the infobox template also have a block id parameter? Obsidian Transport Pipe is trying to use it. --Shadowhand (talk) 04:37, 24 October 2013 (BST)
 * Consensus was achieved to not include it in the infobox since every pack uses different IDs, it could cause confusion. --  Jin bo  bo  10:29, 24 October 2013 (BST)
 * That would explain the missing ids from the wiki. Thanks for the explanation. --Shadowhand (talk) 03:36, 25 October 2013 (BST)
 * As FTB is now planning to have universal IDs throughout all the packs, should this be reconsidered? -- AgentTadpole &middot; Staff talk contribs 01:13, 24 December 2013 (GMT)
 * I would say no, it really isn't that helpful of information, and people use the wiki for non-FTB packs as well. People who don't quite understand the ID system could get confused. SatanicSanta Staff &middot; talk &middot;contribs 02:19, 24 December 2013 (GMT)

iconimage param
The iconimage param is just outputing text. I have changed the following pages before realizing that this param might be still under construction:
 * Wooden Transport Pipe
 * Cobblestone Transport Pipe
 * Stone Transport Pipe
 * Stone Transport Pipe
 * Sandstone Transport Pipe
 * Iron Transport Pipe
 * Golden Transport Pipe
 * Emerald Transport Pipe
 * Obsidian Transport Pipe
 * Obsidian Transport Pipe

please fix this --Shadowhand (talk) 04:01, 25 October 2013 (BST)
 * totally intended. --  Jin bo  bo  11:28, 25 October 2013 (BST)
 * Totally intend to not have an icon? Well, nevermind. Just thought I should bring this up. --Shadowhand (talk) 23:09, 25 October 2013 (BST)
 * It will get fixed in the future. --  Jin bo  bo  06:12, 26 October 2013 (BST)

Adding new values for param "type:"
The current values cover items, blocks and mobs. With more and more mods adding dimensions (Mystcraft ages, the cobblestone mining dimension) and multiblock structures (Thaumcraft, Railcraft Boilers etc.) these two values are a necessary addition. Alternatively new Infobox templates might be made.
 * More infoboxes will be made for different specific content, the infobox should only contain general information. The current infobox will most likely be split into multiple smaller infoboxes in the near future. Other infoboxes will be updated with the new style too. If you are confident with your wikitext and template skills, you are free to create the templates, but please do read the Template Guideline and understand the styling and collapse script of infoboxes first. --  Jin bo  bo  11:00, 24 December 2013 (GMT)

crop/seed
Should an IC2 crop count under crop or seed?

I would say seed. -- RealSketch •Staff •Talk •Contributions  17:25, 1 July 2014 (BST)

What's the crop tag for then? The products?  Chocohead Nag • Additions  17:27, 1 July 2014 (BST)
 * Seed = actual seed item, crop = plant. For instance, if there was a Wheat Seed page, it'd be using the type Seed, but if there was a Wheat Plant page, it'd be using the type Crop. --  SatanicSanta Talk • Contribs •Admin 18:13, 1 July 2014 (BST)

Add
Since putting |firstappearance will show when a thing was first added, can |lastappearance be added for the version before a thing was removed?  Chocohead Nag • Additions  00:43, 9 August 2014 (BST)
