−
** Mods that place content on this wiki should create a subpage under “Mods” (eg. “Mods/More_Blocks/Stone_Tile”), listing the blocks, items, commands, etc that the mod provides.
 
−
** If the mod is also part of a custom game, then the subpage should still be under “Mods”.
 
−
** If the mod is ''only'' part of a custom game and not distributed as a separate mod, then the subpage must be under “Games” (eg. “Games/Carbone/Commands”).

Info about games and mods is discouraged because this information often gets out of date as there is nobody to maintain it. You should document your games and mods elsewhere, whether it be in your Git repository or in-game.

3D [[Blocks|blocks]] used in the wiki (ex. [[File:Wooden_Planks.png|20px]]) are generated using [http://www.blender.org Blender] and the <code>.blend</code> file linked in this [https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?pid=21076#p21076 forum post] created by [[User:Calinou|Calinou]].

[[Items]] (ex. [[File:Apple.png|20px]]) are displayed in the wiki as 2D images ranging from 20² to 160² pixels.

−
It is advised to create a unique version of 160². If you use a 16² image, browsers will scale up the image using interpolation and the result will not look very clean.
 
−
 
 
−
Create images by extracting the 16² version available in the [https://github.com/minetest/minetest_game GitHub repository] and scale them to 160². Do not use scaling interpolation so that pixelized appearance is maintained. You can use [http://www.gimp.org/ GIMP] for this task.

This page explains the rules about editing this wiki.

Rules for article authors

  • Articles must be related to Luanti
  • The wiki is not a place to store personal content, images, etc.
  • Read Help:Translation Notes before you start translating pages
  • Do not translate old or obsolete pages

Guidelines for article authors

  • Learn and try to follow the style hints at Help:Style when appropriate
  • Using the wiki to store information about specific games and mods is discouraged (exception: Minetest Game)
    • Existing content about specific mods and games are allowed to stay as long as they are up-to-date and of use

Why no game/mod info?

Info about games and mods is discouraged because this information often gets out of date as there is nobody to maintain it. You should document your games and mods elsewhere, whether it be in your Git repository or in-game. Minetest Game is the only exception for historic reasons and it has been the default game for a very long time.
