Minecraft Wiki talk:Indie Wiki Buddy

Use this page to provide feedback or report issues about Indie Wiki Buddy.

The Indie Wiki Buddy extension does no longer hide/replace the search results in Google and friends, but instead greys them out, adds a strikethrough to the text and a label pointing to the new source. The page (And the box on the left side in the nav) therefore provide misleading info that should be corrected. Andre 601 (talk) 23:41, 22 June 2024 (UTC)

It looks like the default behavior for the extension is to strikethrough the Fandom results with the label. However, you can adjust this in the extension's settings to hide the results in the search engine instead of striking them. And if this doesn't seem to work at all (which was my experience this afternoon), you may need to reinstall the extension in your browser. KeybladeSpyMaster (talk) 03:12, 23 June 2024 (UTC)

I think the "hide" bit is referring to the new IWB feature for Google that moves indie results above Fandom results, and hides the Fandom result if the article title matches that of the indie result. This is enabled by default. Otherwise, the default behavior is indeed to strikethrough - but as Keyblade mentioned, hiding Fandom results is still available as a setting. ~SuperHamster Talk Contribs 03:22, 23 June 2024 (UTC)

As in the title. As literally all other browsers are Chromium-based (nobody uses Safari or GNOME Web on desktop), I feel like this makes sense RustCurve164933 (talk) 10:43, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

"Get for other browsers" can totally mean to install the extension in Firefox if you are currently using Chrome. GIM Dianliang233 T C 10:59, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

I mean, why not delete every page from the old wiki? What was the reason behind that?

like this instead of this. This sucks for the readers! We can't nuke the old wiki, so

We can't. GIM Dianliang233 T C 08:39, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

How about you clarify what do you mean by the link? Ooooooooo1 (talk) 06:48, 25 July 2024 (UTC)

Fandom forbids it. They want their wikis to stay so they would get more profits. — BabylonAS 07:05, 25 July 2024 (UTC)

They moved to GitHub. I just dislike the move, but you can put the new site there. 49.145.104.228 13:56, 24 September 2024 (UTC)

This wiki is not the creator of the extension. Please report this to the extension's creator. 👁 Image

You can submit new wikis here: https://getindie.wiki/#submit. I'm not sure if a GitHub wiki would qualify though. | violine1101 ^(talk) 18:33, 24 September 2024 (UTC)

The extension doesn't work on opera GX, but only the crossing out fandom links part doesn't work, the rest does 217.164.49.111 16:45, 19 January 2025 (UTC)

Opera, by default, prevents extensions from working on search engines. If you'd like IWB to modify your search results, you need to go to your extension settings (opera://extensions) and check the box to allow IWB to access search page results. ~SuperHamster Talk Contribs 09:08, 30 January 2025 (UTC)

Could someone add a Korean interwiki plz? 👁 Image

Done | violine1101 ^(talk) 08:13, 24 June 2025 (UTC)

Out of the three browsers supported by the gadget used here, Firefox and Edge both officially support extensions on mobile platforms (at least Android), so it would make sense to let the button display on these browsers, which would require removing the Vector skin requirement from the MediaWiki:Gadgets-definition entry. Since Chrome won’t be joining that club yet, the corresponding if block should have its condition extended with && !ua.includes("Mobile"); the “not supported” label may also need tweaking. This change is already implemented on RuMCW (see ru:MediaWiki:Gadget-iwb.js). — BabylonAS 15:15, 28 August 2025 (UTC)

change "last year" to "two years ago" 37.161.91.219 12:25, 25 September 2025 (UTC)

This way there would be no need to update that every year.--Capopanzo (talk | contribs) 18:40, 26 September 2025 (UTC)

Agreed. NhanTNTAlt (talk) 14:34, 24 January 2026 (UTC)

"Google" in this case refers to the Google search engine, not the Google Chrome browser. -- 👁 Image

 Done. — BabylonAS 12:06, 6 December 2025 (UTC)

I would like to see this page rewritten to mention that the tool supports 650 other wikis, and also to improve grammar. My proposal for the changes can be found at Special:Diff/3307241. --   Simanelix   (T|C) 19:00, 7 December 2025 (UTC)
