Word/Sentence Structure

I added this section to list a few guidelines regarding how wording, sentence structure, and tense should be handled. We need a uniform standard throughout and hopefully this will minimize the number of edits we will have to do. The first one that came to mind was "possessive determiners". I believe it is proper to leave these out and leaves a more professional and clean feel to the writing. Thoughts? If anybody has any more in the category they want to add...go for it.

I suggest a standard that the player manipulates the device and game, but it's a Blockhead that actually takes actions within the game. It's easy to write that "you" carry or craft something, but it's actually the Blockhead being controlled that does it. --McClaw (talk) 09:49, 16 February 2013 (MST)

I agree. This sort of thing would refer to writing in a third person tense rather than using second tense pronouns. Cdrras (talk)|

I'm with these guidelines emerging from the community as they are. Thank you Cdrras and McClaw for all the thought and effort you're putting into this wiki!--MintYogi (Admin) (talk) 22:02, 17 February 2013 (MST)

You're welcome! Anytime. It is great to see it coming together and even better seeing a few more users contributing. I can only do so much in the time I have, but I like to contribute where I can. Cdrras (talk) 17:27, 18 February 2013 (MST)

Why use start case?

Why does this wiki use "start case" for page titles, image captions, and section titles? It seems really odd. --Abcboy (talk) 15:16, 12 April 2013 (MDT)

Image standards

This might be a good page for specifying the preferred dimensions, formats, files sizes, and naming conventions for images. Particularly the icons, reference pics, and achievement icons. --McClaw (talk) 09:18, 11 October 2013 (MDT)

Here's my proposal: Use PNGs over JPGs in all instances. Don't just save JPGs as PNGs though, as quality has already been lost. Normal item icons should be 40x40 pixels, blocks 80x80, and all HD texture item icons 80x80. All large item icons should be 160x160 and in PNG. They should all share the same background, and if a rendered item, (bed, door) use any square photo with a solid background. All other items should just be an upscaled version (nearest neighbor) of their item slot icon with a different background. No need to upload large HD texture icons. Achievement icons should be updated as if rendered in iOS 7 on a retina device, and be uploaded at 100x100. --Abcboy (talk) 13:40, 11 October 2013 (MDT)
