Shapeless
Please always do "shapeless=true" instead of "shapeless=1". It's a convention of sorts. Don't worry about any of your older articles, I fixed those already. -Xbony2, Master of Feed The Beast Wiki (talk) 00:48, 7 November 2015 (UTC)


 * Alright, though out of curiosity, is there any specific reason for this practice? Not a lot of other templates have a preference for "true", most notably O (and its related parser) – Knight Miner  04:11, 7 November 2015 (UTC)
 * At some point we made the decision to have it be shapeless=true. I don't remember why. I just remember we decided to have that be the way. 🐇 R e t e p 9 9 8 🐇🐰 Bunny Overlord 🐰 12:26, 7 November 2015 (UTC)
 * From what I remember, it was so you could still have shapeless=false, despite the fact that was the default anyway.  Chocohead Nag • Edits • Staff 12:55, 7 November 2015 (UTC)
 * English booleans are much easier to remember for users than integer booleans. --  Satanic Santa F T B Wiki Admin 04:37, 13 December 2015 (UTC)


 * 1, though filling it with "just anything at all" is easier to remember than an exact value of "true", which is what most parameters tend to check anyways (just being set). Also, if this template is enforcing "true", why aren't most others? Removing the restriction would allow users to do both "true" or "1" based on which they find easier, with no disadvantage in function or markup. – Knight Miner  21:35, 13 December 2015 (UTC)

Regarding Chisel
I don't think we should merge the Chisel articles, neither the mods nor the items. --  Satanic Santa F T B Wiki Admin 04:41, 13 December 2015 (UTC)


 * I was planning on proposing it before taking action, but in any case: any specific reason you disagree? I agree the main mod articles shouldn'y be merged, but the blocks/items between the mods are all completely identical (as each version just started with the latest version of the last one). I have even switched versions of Chisel once with no notable changes, so I don't see any reason to keep each version's items separate as we would just end up multiple identical articles for each chisel version (and in the case of later changes, just add a note saying it was not in the earlier version).
 * As for the tiers, why completely separately describe the iron, obsidian, and diamond chisel? They are all also interchangeable except for durability, leading to any changes in later updates require changing all three articles and leaving the users of the wiki a bit inconvenienced with needing to read three articles containing the exact same information. – Knight Miner  21:33, 13 December 2015 (UTC)
