It's amazing to me how behind MediaWiki is with respect to responsive web skins. I put MobileFrontend on hold as it appears to not be ready yet. There's a MediaWiki Bootstrap[https://github.com/mtyeh411/mediawiki-bootstrap] skin I'll try next. I'll set up a dev server for that so as not to disrupt this production server.

== Servers ==
 
I'm considering creating a page of reviews, so that servers can be ranked or something. No idea how it would work yet, but it sounds like a good idea. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 18:05, 13 November 2013 (MST)

:First, the forums are a better place to contact the creator of the game. Second, please "sign" your posts (second button from the right above the editing window). Third and last, until that's available, you can get an Android emulator for Mac or Windows and get the Android version to run there -- as [http://theblockheadswiki.com/index.php?title=User:Flamerocker&action=edit&redlink=1 this] page explains in more detail. --[[User:McClaw|McClaw]] ([[User talk:McClaw|talk]]) 12:58, 20 March 2014 (MDT)
 
== Archive the game suggestions? ==
 
When the "Suggest an idea" page items are collected and forwarded, it might be appropriate to archive them to a separate (dated?) page rather than let them accumulate or be deleted. --[[User:McClaw|McClaw]] ([[User talk:McClaw|talk]]) 19:59, 29 April 2014 (MDT)
 
== Informal wiki? ==
 
Not '''totally informal''' but at least not so serious step-by-step lecture on the wiki on guides, pages etc. Wouldn't it be better to have an informal tone when creating and editing pages?

== "Current Version" table ==
 
I was under the impression that the iOS specifications were on the left and the android specifications on the right. Although this is not clear from the graph, including a helpful row stating which operating system the specifications are about may be a nice idea [[User:Craig.Davison|—Craig.Davison]] [[User_talk:Craig.Davison|<span style="font-size:85%;color:#fff;background:#09c;border:3px dotted;">TALK</span>]] 06:31, 6 July 2014 (MDT)

== Add a help link to the sidebar ==
 
Can't seem to be able to add [[Help:Contents]] to the sidebar at [[Mediawiki:Sidebar]]. I think it is useful to have at the side of the page as a reference and guide to using the wiki. If someone who knew how to do it that would be great.

== New Page ==
 
I just joined this wiki fifteen minutes ago and feel that there should be a page for not items in the game, but things like subways, housebuilding, and electric crafting setups.[[User:WallBuster|WallBuster]] ([[User talk:WallBuster|talk]]) 15:07, 22 November 2014 (MST)WallBuster

== Add back user creation ==
 
I think it would be a good idea to add back the ability for user creation on the wiki. Paging [abcboy on the forums is discouraging to new users due to the time consuming nature of it. I think that we should set "$wgGroupPermissions['*']['createaccount'] = true;" :). Interested in hearing the rationale behind the initial decision by MintYogi. [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ConfirmAccount This mediawiki extension] may be useful if the need to moderate account creation is still needed. I think that we should encouraging editing more since there are many stubs. Happy to help out with moderating recent changes but I'd like to welcome new editors since there are many new pages needed since the new update.

==Separate Expert Mode wiki?==
 
I think it would be helpful to have a separate wiki for Expert Mode, because it is such a big difference from normal game play.  [[User:JarlPenguin|JarlPenguin]] ([[User talk:JarlPenguin|talk]]) 08:45, 27 August 2018 (MDT)
:What do you mean? '''[[User:Craig.Davison|– Craig Davison]]''' ([[User talk:Craig.Davison|talk]]) 13:17, 9 February 2019 (CST)
::I put some thoughts on how to include [[Expert Mode]] information into the wiki in [[Talk:Expert_Mode|that page's Discussion]]. While it changes the experience, it's all strategy not mechanics. I'm more concerned about the volume of info involved. --[[User:McClaw|McClaw]] ([[User talk:McClaw|talk]]) 18:58, 10 February 2019 (CST)
 
== Update main page information ==
 
Please update the iOS version link (it says 1.7.4 but links to 1.7.3) and the Android update one as soon as I update the table in the Game Updates page. [[User:JarlPenguin|JarlPenguin]] ([[User talk:JarlPenguin|talk]]) 05:25, 16 August 2019 (UTC)
