Remove Redirect

This page should be an article, not a redirect to the Main Page. It should explain the concepts of Minecraft and a brief history. Something like wikipedia:Minecraft, although we will have to rewrite it to fit this Wiki.

If you need to see how we should write this article, look here:

So as you can see, it's mostly what our Gameplay article was about, until now that it has became more about the Game Modes. The Gameplay article should redirect to here. --Scykei 06:03, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

It's a redirect to the main page because the main page contains all that description of the game. "Minecraft is a sandbox construction game, inspired by Infiniminer" and so forth. There is a redundancy in offering the information on both -- one version could lag. If there were enough information that we wanted to provide that it would not fit on the main page, then I would agree it would be appropriate to split the information off here, leaving only a summary there. --Eskay 00:07, 29 November 2010 (CST)

Don't know if it's too early but maybe it should have some sort of fancy redesign? :P Have all sorts of polls, did you knows, featured articles/images, oh my! :D --Scykei 00:21, 29 November 2010 (CST)

I would agree that this should be an article giving a general overview of the game. The content on the main page can be (and should be) changed eventually, as it really doesn't belong there. -- Wynthyst

Renovation

This is the Minecraft Wiki, I am surprised the minecraft article is a stub. It would be much better to have a better in depth history of the game with pictures and such. Maybe a separate page for the History of Minecraft should be considered. Also talking a little bit of game play, and goals (or the joys of not having goals) in Minecraft. The Up coming versions for Android, iOS, and Xbox, Multilayer game play, and Other aspects of the game and the community surrounding this game would give someone unfamiliar a glimpse of what a unique and great game this is. --Tgpqaz 21:08, 16 June 2011 (UTC)

Sounds like a fine idea to me. Write it! --Eskay 03:37, 17 June 2011 (UTC)
