Enhanced ore dictionary descriptions
Currently the description in the tooltip for O is just the ore dictionary tag, for example. I propose that we also display the mod name that a given item comes from, so you can more clearly see the various mods that provide items which satisfy a given oredict tag. Please indicate whether you are in favor of this change. If you are in favor of this change, please also help us decide which style to use for the tooltip description by providing a ranked vote of the options available on User:Retep998/OredictDescs. If you do not like any of the options on that page, please add your desired style variations to the end of that list.

Updates

 * Considering how everyone so far is in favor of this change I have implemented the new oredict tooltip descriptions. The style is still up for debate and will be updated once the community has settled on something. 06:43, 29 June 2017 (UTC)

 * Not much point in just jumping to a vote instead of just discussing it and going to the vote if we need it, it's not that big. I the idea of having the mod name shown. I'd prefer the mod name to be blue, and I would prefer there to be no italics, it just looks strange and out of place. I guess that leaves 4 and 7. I'd lean towards 7 I guess? -Xbony2 (talk) 20:09, 27 June 2017 (UTC)

 * Would really help compared to going to the page it links to and determining which mods are classified under it. --SirMoogle (talk) 23:37, 27 June 2017 (UTC)

Clarifying sentence casing for disambiguations
I propose that the sentence case style that is already established for articles be extended to disambiguations. Here is a set of examples to show how this would affect things:
 * Thing (GregTech) -> Thing (GregTech) (unchanged)
 * Concept that is not referenced in the game as a proper noun (Esteemed Innovation) -> Concept that is not referenced in the game as a proper noun (Esteemed Innovation) (unchanged)
 * Thing (GregTech) (Item) -> Thing (GregTech) (item) (Item -> item)
 * Not a proper noun (Concept) -> Not a proper noun (concept) (Concept -> concept)

Basically, this will just require a slight modification to Project:MoS to clarify that the sentence casing is extended to the parenthetical disambiguation of article titles. --  Satanic Santa 🎅F T B Wiki Admin 18:55, 13 March 2017 (UTC)
 * The Minecraft Wiki does something similar (see mcw:Clay (block) and mcw:Melon (block)). It makes sense. -Xbony2 (talk) 22:45, 13 March 2017 (UTC)
 * I never liked that, the fact it was extra in the title rather than the item/block's name made titlecase make more sense IMO.  Chocohead Nag • Edits • Staff 22:51, 13 March 2017 (UTC)
 * I think you're just used to it, it looks strange at first. -Xbony2 (talk) 11:13, 14 March 2017 (UTC)
