Template:History/doc

This template is used for creating the new history sections. It is currently a work in progress.

To create a History section, you need to use this template multiple times:


 * The various development phases and platform versions of Minecraft are represented by sections. For example, you start the Beta section with.
 * Shorthands for the development phases and platform versions include: c for Classic, st for Survival Test, in for Indev, inf for Infdev, a for Alpha, b for Beta, r for Official release, u for Upcoming features or pre-releases, pa for Pocket Edition Alpha, pb for Pocket Edition Beta, xbox for Xbox 360 Edition, and pi for Pi Edition.


 * A single version can be represented like so:.
 * Do not specify the development stage here (e.g. use 1.2, not Beta 1.2). The development stage is already in the section header.
 * By default, the version number will be a link to the appropriate version history page. You can use  to change this. Possible values are:
 * — link to the version history, i.e. the default behavior.
 * Any URI/URL — external link to this URI/URL.
 * — no link.
 * Use the developmental version number (and only that) in the “upcoming” section of the table. After the upcoming snapshot features have been officially released, move the entries to the official section and add the official version number, moving the developmental version number to the snap parameter; see below for an example.
 * If multiple changes have been made in a single version update, simply list them like so: . The template currently supports up to 10 changes per version.


 * End the history section with.
