Wikidata:WikiProject Minecraft

WikiProject Minecraft is a WikiProject tasked with creating and maintaining items for the video game series Minecraft, along with items for user-generated content (like mods).

Secondary goals include coverage of Minecraft-specific terms as lexemes and introduction of items for Minecraft-related scholarly papers.

The rationale for the creation of this project is that there are approximately 1500 items related to Minecraft in some way, shape, or form. Efforts for creating and maintaining said items were extremely scattered and disorganized before the creation of this project.

Task ideas

• Disambiguation of authors of works related to Minecraft (see toolforge:scholia:topic/Q49740/missing and /Scholarly articles)
• Linking together pages for the mods on other (e.g. not FTB Wiki) Fandoms.
  • Using the site:*.fandom.com search operator works very well for discovering pages for mods.
• Creating new items for mods (while taking care to respect WD:N).
• Importing data from the Feed the Beast Wiki (Q105518219) and other modded Minecraft wikis.
• Create or link items from the Know Your Meme Minecraft category
  • Use Know Your Meme ID (P6760) for identification
• Document musical works related to Minecraft following the guidelines set by Wikidata:WikiProject Music
  • See Wikidata:WikiProject Minecraft/Music for more information
• Match existing Q-items to their entries in the Weird Gloop-hosted Minecraft Wiki (Q105533483)
  • See the following query for Q-items that have Fandom-hosted Minecraft properties, but no Weird Gloop ID: All Q-items with Fandom article IDs for the (deprecated) Minecraft Wiki, and Weird Gloop ID (if any)
