User:Justin Folvarcik

To-do

 * Finish extension for Super Mario Wiki
 * Tweak "for" and "while" extensions to work with ZW
 * Find workaround for ifexist parser function linking
 * Notes-
 * Cannot remove links without replacing (will disable caching)
 * Creating new table-possible but time consuming (will have to build caching functions that work with entries)
 * Reference cache functions in "includes" folder-Title.php is one
 * Possibly extend an existing class for access to the parent functions(?)
 * Find (or create?) a working java player for the audio/video extension
 * Keep backlog down
 * Find and replace files in need
 * Attempt to cut down large, redundant articles

That's the right way to start things off, I suppose. This wiki is the place for me, pretty much. I'm so deeply embedded in this community that you'd have to really dig to get me out of here, and even then you'd probably give up or break your arms. Anyways, the rest of this page reads like an article on my community life. If you want to know about my real life, ask. But you gotta know me, first :P

Anyways, enjoy the read, I guess.

General
 Justin, the Life and Times of. This is a short autobiographical desciption of the online life of Justin, otherwise known as Neo.

Justin joined Zelda Universe in March 2006. This was his first internet site which he joined. This would later lead him to the community of Zelda fans, which he eventually joined as a whole. When he had a falling out with Zelda Universe members, he angrily stormed off and joined Zelda Dungeon. From there, he was directed to Zelda Wiki.org, which he found interesting. He decided to join said fabulous wiki, and began editing.

Time passed, and he'd grown into quite the astounding editor. He had become quite integrated into the wiki community, and he was slowly making his way up to the platform of distinguished editor. Of course, he happened to fall from this path. He has found it again, but he must now begin to make the long, arduous climb again from the very bottom. Can he achieve his goal and regain his former respect and glory? Only time will tell.

They say, you know, that if you enter the recent changes at the right time, Justin's name will appear in nearly every edit. They also say that only a few of them are mistakes. The story has yet to be confirmed.

The end...?

...and it certainly was not the end. Justin did regain his respect in the community. He is now once again a respected and trusted editor, but that doesn't matter to him. All he cares about is unleashing the full potential of Zelda Wiki.org!

NIWA
The Nintendo Independent Wiki Alliance launched February 14, 2010, which delighted Justin. At last, the independent wikis could come together to stand a fighting chance against the larger sites whose shadows they lived in.

WiKirby
Justin's friend, Axiomist started the wiki, WiKirby, to cover the Kirby franchise. Justin was eager to help build this new wiki, so he offered his assistance in getting it set up. After the launch, he was made into a patroller along with Cipriano 119 and Austin. Later, he was made into an administrator to watch over the site and keep the vandalism in check while Axiomist was away, and then he went back to patrolling when Axiomist returned. He still checks it regularly to fight vandalism and patrol edits.

WiKirby can be found here.

Lylat Wiki
Justin was eager to help out the NIWA, so he decided to create a wiki of his own. To do this, he contacted Tacopill, a user who offered free hosting to gaming wikis. Together, they created Lylat Wiki, which is currently still in development. He hopes to have it released once the skin is completed and work on the policies and help pages is finished. The skin is being developed by legendary graphic designer, Steve, who created the skins for Metroid Wiki, WiKirby, and the very Zelda Wiki.org.

No link will be provided to Lylat Wiki, as it is not public yet.

ZAST Forums
Justin joined the Zombie Apocalypse Survival Team forums when they were first created. At the time, they were very crude and new. They lacked very much organization, and this bothered Justin. He decided to get involved in them and contacted Zoltar, the co-leader of the forums at the time. He pitched ideas for the each and every one of the forum titles and sub-headings. Zoltar liked the ideas and decided to implicate them. Zoltar then asked Justin if he would help to make the site better and be part of the staff. Justin was glad to accept, at which point Zoltar made him an administrator. The forum sub-headings still remain unchanged today.

The site can be found here.

Justin in Person
Justin was born September 5, 1991, and has always been a large fan of the Zelda series. He joined Zelda Wiki in hopes of bringing quality information to the Zelda fans that need it. He has played every Zelda game that is canon except for Phantom Hourglass and Four Swords, and admires the style that Zelda brings forward. His very first Zelda game was Link's Awakening, followed by Ocarina of Time. He owns the Ocarina of Time V1.0 for the Nintendo 64, as well as the collector's edition of Majora's Mask for the same system. His personal favorite Zelda game is Ocarina of Time, followed by Majora's Mask.

Justin is also a very strong believer in God, and won't hesitate to talk about Jesus should anyone ask (or even if they don't.)

Graphics Work
Justin recently began graphics work with some astounding results. His first creation is a wallpaper themed after Burden of a Day. The image is below:



Coding Triumphs
Justin is skilled in PHP programming, and has written several programs.
 * NIWA Cards: Trading card system for the NIWA forums.
 * Patrolled Edits extension: Extension for the MediaWiki software which tells how many edits a user has patrolled.
 * Patrol Magic extension: Adds new magic words/parser functions to the wiki software to output information on how many edits have been marked as patrolled overall.

Other Zelda Sites
These are sites which I either work for, like, contribute to, or have contributed to in some way.

The Hidden Triforce
Justin found the Hidden Triforce through Ordon Village, which announced the Triforce Hunt contest. He participated in the contest and enjoyed it somewhat. Some months later, he noticed Noah, the site's owner in the Zelda Wiki Skype chat. He said hi to Noah and explained how he used to participate in the Triforce Hunt. Noah asked Justin for some advice, and he was glad to help out, even suggesting to try to become a Mastermind one day. Noah thanked him and began to make a name for himself. Some time later, Noah came to Justin with a request. He was about to lose a staff member for the Hidden Triforce who was going to boot camp, and he needed to fill a spot as a forum moderator. Justin considered it for awhile before accepting Noah's request and joining the staff. After awhile, he switched from moderator to regular site staff, and is still on the staff today. He enjoys the friendliness of the community and his friendship with Noah and the rest of the staff.

Zelda Temple
After Justin and Alter had a disagreement resulting in his resignation from his webmaster status at Zelda in my Pocket, he mentioned how it would be less of a burden not having to perform upkeep on a website. Yusei mentioned that he could always write for Zelda Temple. Justin asked if she actually needed staff, and she replied that she did indeed need someone with extensive knowledge of the series to write articles and news posts. Justin replied that he would be glad to help out, since the site was in need.

The Sacred Realm
While talking with Lysia, a friend of his, Justin noticed how she was commenting on how busy she was. She had mentioned that she needed staff because she had no time to work on the site. Seeing how inundated she was, Justin offered to help out by getting content for the site. Lysia was ecstatic to hear this, and Justin set off to get content from BS The Legend of Zelda, which came to fruition at last. He is now gathering content for another game in the series.

Zelda in my Pocket
Alter and Justin had initially worked together on Zelda in my Pocket to build it up and get it off the ground. However, some time in, Justin had a disagreement with Alter which resulted in his resignation. Some time later, he decided to return to the site as long as several of his requests were honored. Alter accepted, and Justin rejoined the staff. He is currently trying to rebuild the reputation of the site so that it will be a respectable one.
