Gamepedia Editor of the Month - August 2018
Usually, our Editor of the Month is somebody who has made a significant contribution to a specific wiki over the month. This month, we recognize an editor who has made significant contributions to multiple wikis, as well as the overall Gamepedia community. MarkusRost is a dedicated admin of the German Official Minecraft Wiki as well as the Official Wynncraft Wiki. He is a member of our Gamepedia Rapid Anti-Spam Patrol (GRASP). He is the most active moderator of the Gamepedia Twitch channel. And, as if that wasn't enough, he also created Wiki-Bot, an automated search-by-chat bot for Discord, Slack, and Twitch. We caught up with our August 2018 Editor of the Month to discuss all things wiki.

Minecraft Forums: Snapshot 14w03a Ready for Testing!
Building on last week's Snapshot, Mojang continues the drive to give mapmakers even more awesome tools (and fix some bugs too)! What's on this week's Snaphot?
FEATURE LIST (MAP-MAKER EDITION!):- /tp now supports rotation arguments
- Player selectors (@p, @e, etc) now support cubic areas. For example: @e[x=0,y=0,z=0,dx=10,dy=10,dz=10] gets all entities between 0,0,0 and 10,10,10
- Added /clone command to copy large areas to other areas
- Added a /fill command to fill a large area with a block
SERVER FILES:
- Cross-platform jar:https://s3.amazonaws...rver.14w03a.jar
- Windows EXE:https://s3.amazonaws...rver.14w03a.exe
Report bugs here:
EDIT:
Skins have undergone some changes as well! You can now set different textures for different body parts (instead of one "arm" texture, etc), as well as apply a "hat" layer to any body part, not just the head! Not enough awesome? What if you could toggle any layer parts on your body? You can do that too! Customizing your skin has never been easier, or more cool. Give it a try!
Be right back, I'm going to go server-hopping without my mask.
