Zelda Wiki:Milk Bar

Huge Galleries
Articles such as Midna have giant galleries. I'm always wary of these types of things getting big because there are (although not many) users who still have slower connections, plus the galleries take up a lot of space. I think something for pages with galleries like these should be given the treatment that Link got, and have their galleries moved to a separate page. --Jase 21:35, 23 January 2008 (EST)

I did it for Midna.--Link hero of light 23:46, 23 January 2008 (EST)

Soul Calibur II and the CD-i games
I know that they aren't "technically" Zelda games, but I think that we should be giving Soul Calibur II and the CD-i games the same amount attention we've (I've) been giving the Smash Bros. games. If there's anyone with extensive knowledge of any of these games, could you create/improve pages for the characters and locations of these games? --Hisak 00:23, 10 February 2008 (EST)


 * I agree. I don't really focus on the non-canon Zelda info myself, plus I highly doubt anyone here actually has any of the CD-i games... The main reason I don't mess with the non-Zelda pages is because I don't necessarily agree with the Wiki's policies on non-Zelda content (full pages on Mario, Lucario, etc.? seriously?), so I probably wouldn't be good for that. Anyone else could, though. :P --Ando 16:56, 10 February 2008 (EST)


 * Did you know that, other than a site in french, were one of the only sources of information on the internet for the CD-i games (outside of wikipedia)? Yes, they're horrendously badly made, and the information in them isn't canon, and they're not part of the series... but surely denying their existence is censorship? A lot of the stuff we have didn't even exist a year ago, but I did some research (during which I laughed a lot. And died inside a little...) and created some basic info. Others have added information on the key characters, but it certainly needs to be improved. I may create a small template to link all the pages. (P.S. I know zero about Soul Calibur, so I can't comment). --Adam (talk) 02:59, 11 February 2008 (EST)


 * Maybe I should re-phrase my statement. I really only don't focus on non-canon content because I don't own any of the games. If I owned the games I'd be editing up a storm, believe me, but those things are expensive and I just don't have the funds.


 * May... maybe if anyone is willing to donate to the "Ando Wants the CD-i Games" fund? :D I'd buy 'em in a heartbeat. I've been wanting to play them anyway. :P--Ando 12:49, 11 February 2008 (EST)


 * Understood. Word of warning though; heed the advice of the french guy I mentioned, given here in the conclusion. The games and consoles are horrendously expensive, and looking at the videos on youtube I don't think anyone could honestly enjoy playing these games? --Adam (talk) 14:00, 11 February 2008 (EST)

Well actually, someone on amazon gave the Wand of Gamelon 4 stars. But I agree, Soul Calibur and the CDi games should be given attention. I also think that The Legend of Zelda games template should have a new section called "Philips CD-i games", then under it have the Wand of Gamelon, Zelda's adventure and the Faces of Evil. But I can't be of much help on giving the articles attention, I don't own the games you see. :-(--Link hero of light 18:48, 12 February 2008 (EST)

the cdi games should be merged with sc 2 to a non cannon article


 * Not really, no. The CD-i games are totally separate games. While not canon, they most certainly are their own Zelda games, and deserve their own pages. Otherwise you could justify putting Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons into the same page, yes? --Ando (Talk) 13:53, 23 March 2008 (EDT)

Clear up images
Can someone clear up these images so their not so blurry--Link hero of light 19:49, 3 March 2008 (EST)

The first image is from youtube so its not easy to unblurr it--Zanramon 17:36, 7 March 2008 (EST)


 * Hm... I took a picture of a ReDead from Twilight Princess. I'll leave it up to you guys to decide if it's better than the current picture or not. --Ando (Talk) 20:35, 7 March 2008 (EST)


 * Definitely better than my "stopgap" image, I'll replace it now (quite scary too lol!) —Adam (talk) 02:50, 8 March 2008 (EST)

Oshus picture
Could someone please find a picture of Oshus in his whale form as i have looked every where like youtube and everywhere--Zanramon 17:46, 7 March 2008 (EST)

Here. I found it at Zelda Dungeon.


 * Also, you can't have looked very hard on YouTube... typed "phantom hourglass ending" and this was the first result I looked at:



I know but i was on the co.uk one--Zanramon 06:44, 8 March 2008 (EST) still good though

Ocarina of Time Dungeon Images
Can someone add images for the entrances to the Dungeons in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time so that the page doesn't just have maps? It would keep it consistent with the other dungeon listings. --Hisak 20:24, 8 March 2008 (EST)
 * Alright, before I get started on this, exactly what do you mean by "entrances"; the actual entrance of the dungeon, or the text that appears the first time you enter it stating the name of the dungeon (much like the Inside the Deku Tree image on the page you provided)? --Ando (Talk) 09:47, 9 March 2008 (EDT)
 * The cutscene that appears when you first enter the dungeon. --Hisak 19:39, 16 March 2008 (EDT)

Aye, sorry I missed this earlier (a lack of a good, constant computer made checking the wiki quite a chore!), but I think I can work on getting some more pictures on here for the various dungeons. --Ando (Talk) 17:44, 22 March 2008 (EDT)

I've started taking some. They aren't that big because of the program I'm using for taking pictures. Does anyone know a better image capturer? I'm using the free version of fraps FYI.--Green 22:34, 22 March 2008 (EDT)




 * What emulator are you using? Project64 has a built-in screenshot capture tool (utilized by hitting F3). The screenshots are saved in whatever resolution the game is running at (it's what I used for the Majora's Mask pictures I've uploaded such as this one). --Ando (T : C) 15:35, 24 March 2008 (EDT)

Questions
I'm probably just stupid, but I didn't find anywere were I could post my question. My question was wether or not you would like me to expand your SSB, SSBM and SSBB pages. But my current question is, were should I post this question?

I'm sorry for postign this in the wrong place and probably waste your time. --Kohake 23:58, 30 March 2008


 * Hey, it's cool, don't worry about being stupid. ;) Anyway, absolutely; you don't need to ask permission to edit a page. That's the very core of what a Wiki is: a compendium of information that can be modified and contributed to by anyone. So if the main pages for those games could be fleshed out (we've been having issues with the pages being nothing but lists), that would be awesome. Just be sure to keep it within the realm of Zelda Wiki's non-Zelda content policies, and you should be good.
 * (P.S. Hyrule Castle is for questions related to how-to-use-the-wiki; The Heart Container is for overall major article questions.) --Ando (T : C) 21:37, 30 March 2008 (EDT)

My question was acutally where such a question as min should be posted, and yeah I know how a Wiki works, I just wanted to know if it was a good idea since I could wirte a bunch of text about every singel character but I didn't want to fill pages with info which wouldn't belong on a Zelda Wiki. I am pleased with the answers you gave though. Thank you. --Kohake 17:42, 31 March 2008

Spoilers
I was going to write the new characters for SSBB that were related to the Zelda games when I started thinking, "is it okay to spoil the unlockable characters". I mean, if it was was one of the older Zelda games I wouldn't worry, but since it's A new game and very many haven't got the game but are planning to do so. Should I write the unlockable characters or atleast wait untill it's realeasd in Europe. --Kohake 18:00, 31 March 2008


 * Absolutely add the unlockable characters. The Wiki is around to provide all the information is possibly can, not to wait around until it is convenient for others. Plus, we have the nifty   tag that can be used to notify someone of an oncoming spoiler. --Ando (T : C) 01:08, 1 April 2008 (EDT)

Help!
Okay, these problems are killing me! I was making changes to my user page, when all of the sudden, I notice that when I leave and come back, there is nothing changed on the user page, yet when I go to the editing box, all the changes are still there! Please help me! It's happening on other peoples user pages too! I can't see my edits or their edits on the talk page unless I click on edit! This is so annoying! Thank you for listening. --David (T : C) 15:20, 6 April 2008 (UTC)


 * This just happened to me too, but it wasn't on a user page. My last edit Ambi's Palace isn't showing on the main article, even though the history says it should (or rather, shouldn't) be there.  Oddly, the Possessed Nayru link isn't working either, even though I've made that article since the shown edit of Ambi's Palace. --Douken 15:47, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for answering, Douken. The only way i can read what you wrote is by editing what i said. I think that we may have to make new accounts If we cannot get this straightened out. At least we'll be able to copy and paste our user pages onto new accounts ;). By the way, I had asked Jase the question, so we'll have to see what he says. --David (T : C) 15:54, 6 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Hm, I'm not having this issue. I'm able to see all edits made since the update. :/ I guess it's really just a matter of seeing what happens (and what Jason has to say about it). --Ando (T : C) 17:10, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
