Character merging
I don't think that characters from the CD-i games should have their own pages (other thank Link and Zelda, and maybe the king, so the ones that appear in other games). I'd suggest that we make a "Characters in CD-i games" page to include any known characters from all three games. --Adamcox82 17:31, 19 June 2008 (UTC)


 * That would better than one for each character. Maybe we should do something like this for some of the SSB characters. Like characters from certain origin on one character page. Like one for Mario, one for Starfox, one for Pokemon, etc. These individual non-Zelda to semi-Zelda characters pages have got to stop.--Mjr162006 17:35, 19 June 2008 (UTC)


 * I think you may have hit on a really good idea here. There's long been a complaint that too much emphasis was given to the SSB content, and creating game-specific character sub-pages sounds like a really nice idea. This would also work like I said for all the CD-i characters. I sense a group project in the making ;) --Adamcox82 17:44, 19 June 2008 (UTC)


 * I believe adding "subst" would have been better than keeping a link to the talk page. Anyways, what about all these SSB stage articles? Should we merge those too? There are too many.--Mjr162006 13:40, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

The stage articles... Perhaps a giant "listing" sort of format (split up into several pages by the iteration of the series in which it appears) with a short description of each stage along with an image next to it? I can get images for every Super Smash Bros. level, and for most if not all of the Brawl stages. So basically we'd have three pages titled "Stages in Super Smash Bros.", and another for Melee and Brawl. I agree with the idea of game-universe character pages. What would they be called? Something like "Mario characters in Super Smash Bros."? Also, I have to say that I disagree with the idea of merging all of these CD-i character articles into one article. We've never stopped creating a separate article for every character before (we have articles on minor characters such as Anju's Mother, for crying out loud). A Zelda game is still Zelda, and I think needs to be covered in as much depth as we possibly can. Unless, of course, these characters have absolutely no depth, which is possible, considering its source. :P I've yet to own these games (HEAR THAT, EMPLOYERS WHO AREN'T HIRING ME?), and I'm pretty sure that NONE of us have these games, so covering them might be difficult for now. But perhaps in the future when someone CAN write more in-depth content we might split the characters with more information? --Ando 13:51, 21 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Well I remember someone here, it might have been Adam, saying that"like it or not the CD-I games where officially licensed by Nintendo." So that would mean that they each deserve a character page. We could still merge, just in four pages. One for characters in both, with links back to the main article, and three more page for game specific characters. Fair enough? Or something like that anyway.--Mjr162006 13:58, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

I like that idea of a listing for SSB stages. How about one page for all the stages in the SSB seriesm with the games divided into sections? ZeldaGirl96 15:18, 12 July 2008 (UTC)


 * An idea was brought up earlier (I believe by MARKOL) that we merge the stages into their respective games (i.e. three pages, each called "Stages in Super Smash Bros. [blank]"). The idea is that, well, a page listing all 70 or 80 stages or whatever we're at with pictures would be horrendously huge. 15:31, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

So we should divide them into games, right?


 * Sounds like the plan. :P 14:22, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

Dungeon Listing Template
I've been thinking about the dungeon listing pages (like Dungeons in The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask), and I think we could do a lot more with them, such as include basic information like the boss, main item, etc. Of course, this would be easiest if there was a template for this. I had imagined that it would be in the following order: image (it would be the same size as it is now), dungeon name, location, main item, mini-boss (optional), and boss, with a "check box" at the end saying if it's optional or if it's considered a major dungeon. If someone can make a template like this, it would be greatly appreciated. Hisak 02:17, 24 July 2008 (UTC)


 * So... basically you want the current dungeon template with an "optional" spot as well? 03:25, 24 July 2008 (UTC)


 * We better hurry up and decide what we want to do. Because that sounds like a job for me. And I am leaving for the camping trip in nine and a half hours. 03:33, July 24, 2008 (UTC)

Well, not necessarily, Matt. This is a pretty simple job, actually. Basically copying and pasting the existing dungeon template and adding a field (and I HAVE added optional fields before, so I know how to do it). So it doesn't HAVE to be decided, like, right now. And even if you did have to do it, well, you'll be back in, what, three days? 03:38, 24 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Oh, I didn't mean modify the new template; I meant make a new template that can be used on the dungeons listing pages. One that looks something like this, except with a field to put an image in on the far left. Hisak 20:46, 24 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Ohhh. Well that's totally different then. Alright, I'll get on this, um, later. I'm really tired and sick and stuff so I'm going to sleep now. :P That's interesting how they did that. Make a new template that lists all of the dungeons and then just call the template. Very intriguing. 22:54, 24 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Sorry, I probably should have looked at the code before I posted that. It would look like that, but there'd still be empty fields for you to fill in. I guess this would be a better example. Hisak 00:05, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

Unkown Games
There are several pages (such as Bird Key) that show items, maps etc. without referencing a game title. I know I didn't give a lot of examples, but I have found more (just can't rember) pages like that, and they are very frustrating. Anyone who knows what game(s) the items, dungeons, maps etc. are from, please help!Poe 15:55, 31 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi, and welcome to the wiki! Unfortunately, you're absolutely right. There are too many articles which don't specify the game(s) to which they relate, and all efforts to rectify that are greatly appreciated. However, in the example you gave (and may others) the clues are all there in the links. The last sentence of Bird Key states "Using the Bird Key opens the entrance to the Eagle's Tower". Following the link gives the answer you seek :) 19:51, 31 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Shall we get started on making Categories for each game and adding the articles to the correct category? I'm going to wait to start the categories until everyone thinks its a good idea.  20:15, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

Actually, we recently got rid of the one category that did this (the now-deleted Category:Phantom Hourglass). It just doesn't seem like an overly useful idea when the article could just be slightly re-written to include the game name somewhere in there. Sort of like the image categorization proposed a few months back (I'm not sure if you were here for that): too much work tracking down each page, not enough gain. 03:48, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

Newbies
Hi, I'm a sorta newbie to this web...I really want to edit my page,but what should I use? —Tetra princess zelda 03:44, 3 August 2008 (UTC)


 * What should you use? I'm not entirely sure what the question means... The best way to make your page is to click the red link that says your name, and then just add some information about yourself and save! You can look at other peoples' user pages to get ideas of other things you can use on yours. 03:48, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

ssb characters
Could someone merge all the assist trophys, bosses and pokemon's articles into Characters in Super Smash Bros. (series).--Link hero of light 17:52, 15 August 2008 (UTC)


 * That would make the title wrong :P. 00:07, 16 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Well, there's only one remaining individual Pokemon article that I can find, and I've suggested that it be merged into the Characters page. We could do with merging the Assist Trophies into a single article, as well as all of the Enemies into another article. These should both be found in Category:Super Smash Bros. so it shouldn't be too hard for someone to complete a basic merge. 07:30, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

I'm going to make an "Items in Super Smash Bros" page and as for the Bosses they can be placed in the "Non-Playable character" section on the character page (I'm going to remove Whispy Woods, he's a part of a stage, he doesn't fight).

Midna pictures
Could someone take these pictures of Midna and remove the white around them so their backround matches with the wiki's?--Link hero of light 17:29, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

I can do it. It may take a while, however.

Miracle Stone
In the Windwaker Soundtracks I found the Song "The Miracle Stone Shows one's True Nature" It isn't of much Importance, but What is the Miracle Stone? Is it the stone with which Tetra and the Lions King Communicaate? If so, why isn't there a page for it. I would do it myself, but I haven't got Windwaker(Only borrowed it to complete it 4 Times) The Butcher 12:22, 22 August 2008 (UTC) Thank you.
