I think that this page and its subpages should be assigned to a category.
Maybe a new Category:Minecraft Wiki Recap, which would be under the main Category:Minecraft Wiki ?
Similar like it is done with Category:Minecraft Wiki news.

- Fair point, even though there's only 2 so far it might be good to still do that for futureproofing, when the wiki is much older and we have several more recaps. -~- Nerdyguy2000 Talk Edits 01:50, 13 July 2025 (UTC)
- The main reason these pages should be assigned a category is a general cause:
- it's simply harder to find a page that doesn't have a category assigned to it.
- Besides, it would be worth doing it just to keep things in order, because these pages really do have a content suitable to Minecraft Wiki categories.

- Maybe... Maybe the recap page could use some links in places, I dunno. -~- Nerdyguy2000 Talk Edits 21:51, 14 July 2025 (UTC)
- Aren't news and recap the same thing? -- Simanelix (T|C) 22:48, 14 July 2025 (UTC)
- No. Recaps are released twice a year and recap the six months while news are released irregularly and cover a specific topic, typically a big event. -~- Nerdyguy2000 Talk Edits 23:15, 14 July 2025 (UTC)
- They may be regarded as a kind of the same thing, however Recap is a "summary" of news,
- so I personally felt that they could have a separate category.
- As the admins doesn't seem to be interested in reading this talk ;)
- I added those pages to the News category - as a separate group - it looks quite nice :)
- If someone wishes, they can change it later.

Harristic seems to be busy, so maybe someone else should. -- Simanelix (T|C) 23:59, 14 July 2025 (UTC)
- Sounds like a job I could do! I'll get to draftin' unless someone else gets it done or Harri says he's not busy. (I really want to write it now...) -~- Nerdyguy2000 Talk Edits 00:13, 15 July 2025 (UTC)
- He just did it. -- Simanelix (T|C) 14:32, 15 July 2025 (UTC)
- Yeah okay then. :P -~- Nerdyguy2000 Talk Edits 15:55, 15 July 2025 (UTC)
- Sorry, didn't see this. I should have gotten this done sooner frankly, that's my fault. If anyone wants to write these in the future then I think they should send me a talk page message, I'd have no problem with that although I'd probably want to do it collaboratively. - Harristic / Talk 👁 Image

- Noted for the future, I'm kinda hoping we can collaborate on the next one :) -~- Nerdyguy2000 Talk Edits 15:56, 15 July 2025 (UTC)
- Yes, collaboration would reduce the stress. Talking about what to include is also a good idea. Especially if you wanted to potentially go in more depth on some things. Like for example, you could mention how I'm working on improving redirect pages. I also have a lot of work I have to do on potion redirects, which can be seen on my sandbox. -- Simanelix (T|C) 17:45, 17 July 2025 (UTC)
- I remember that the first recap had some fun stats including a mention of someone making a lot of redirects... -~- Nerdyguy2000 Talk Edits 17:46, 17 July 2025 (UTC)
- Yeah. I love statistics so much. And I know someone wrote a JavaScript tool to record a bunch of them. I'd love to work on adding them in. -- Simanelix (T|C) 18:02, 17 July 2025 (UTC)
- That would be pretty useful. Dunno how to get these stats myself, but if you can do it, then hey, why not? -~- Nerdyguy2000 Talk Edits 18:03, 17 July 2025 (UTC)
- I corrected category sub-name for the page Minecraft Wiki:Recap/Mid-year 2025.
- The format that I proposed for the sub-pages is "Recap-YYYY-MM" of the Published date, which allows to arrange the sub-pages in the chronological order on the category page Category:Minecraft Wiki news (in a similar way like the order that was done with other News pages).
