Minecraft Discontinued Features Wiki:Help/Language wikis
As of November 2023, the Minecraft Discontinued Features Wiki allows creation of language variants of wiki pages.
Format
The language variant should be a subpage of the English page (e.g. Green Dye/es) and should be put into a language translation category (e.g. ES translation).
The page should include a {{DISPLAYTITLE:}} code to change the page name into a local language (e.g. {{DISPLAYTITLE:Strona główna}} for Polish main page). They will be used to move the page into the localized title once language subwiki moves to a standalone wiki. Make sure that the page is created with the corresponding language code (I.E. "Green Dye/jp" for Japanese, "Green Dye/de" for German, "Green Dye/it" for Italian, etc.), which can all be seen here.
Requirements for standalone wiki
Once following points are fulfilled, the language can be moved to its own wiki (located at mcdf.wiki.gg/langcode/, where langcode is the language code, e.g. "de" for German)
Currently, the requirements are
- All main pages (Main page, Java Edition:Main Page, Bedrock Edition:Main Page and Console Edition:Main Page) are translated, layout can be altered to match what the quantity of translated content, should however have a similar level of functionality to the English main pages.
- All pages linked on Main page, Java Edition:Main Page, Bedrock Edition:Main Page and Console Edition:Main Page are translated, does not need all pages from the English wiki but should have high quality links and the ability to navigate to important pages.
- Should have most general and popular content translated with relevant redirects, any popular IDV variants (six sided pistons, petrified oak slabs, leaves, ect.), any popular block, item and entity ids (Bedrock, Water block items, End Portal Frame items, ect.) as well as any popular NBT variants (No NBT Enchantment Books, Exclusive Enchantments, Formatted Books, ect.).
- Niche information can be left out as long as the main information about attainability and it's behavior is well communicated.
- Recommended to translate recently added discontinued features that are popular as well as a wide variety of pre-1.13 content.
- All Categories should be translated, even those not yet used for consistency.
- Frequently used templates that common pages use.
- Approval from English wiki administrators and wiki.gg staff
If there is a translator willing to moderate the new wiki, they may become an admin on that wiki after approval by English wiki admins. If no translator is willing or no translator who speaks English at a required level is willing an English wiki admin will be appointed.
