Logo Design
Hi I had just recently found out about your logo design contest on your DeviantArt page, and was just curious as to when the due date is for it, or if it has already passed. I have been looking everywhere for information but couldn't seem to find anything. --UniqSchweick12 10:37, 25 March 2011 (EDT)

Glitch
I was wondering if anyone here knew how to edit the wiki to get user pages back as mine and many of the ones I have tried to go to come up in an error message saying some coding is missing Theif 1 01:32, 31 May 2011 (EDT)


 * Your question has already been answered on this page. Basically, we're in the middle of moving to a faster server, and some of our code required to view userpages was moved. You can still access and edit your page by clicking on [/index.php?title=User:Theif_1&action=edit this link] . To access somebody else's page, just change the name in the URL 07:32, 31 May 2011 (EDT)

500 Internal Server Error
I can't imagine that I would be the only one getting this message, but I'm having a problem uploading new images to the site. I'm sure the site moving to a faster server is the cause (or something around that), but it asked me to inform someone. The message reads:


 * The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
 * Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@zeldawiki.org and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.
 * More information about this error may be available in the server error log.
 * Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Yes, I have tried to e-mail webmaster, but the e-mail failed permanently... So i'm hoping the right people see this post. :) 20:20, 31 May 2011 (AST)


 * You're certainly not the only person to be having this problem. I've run into it myself. It seems to happen more often with uploading new versions of images. I'm sure our server people are going to try to figure it out, along with other problems we're having. 02:36, June 1, 2011 (UTC)

ReAsked: How do you make user boxes?
Im asking a common question, and this is a pretty tough thing for me to find. Im just wondering on how to make those userboxes?-=AngryMaskSalesman=- 11:16, 18 June 2011 (EDT)


 * You can use this template to create a userbox quickly. If you don't know what to do, you can copy one of the examples and build on it. If you have trouble picking colors, you can use online tools like this and this. Just copy the code, and make sure you put a "#" before them. (eg. #AF043D)  16:55, 22 June 2011 (EDT)

Ads?
Why aren't there any ads on this wiki? You guys could be raking in the dough right now if there were ads on it, especially with the release of OoT 3D. Jus' sayin... Sean 15:59, 22 June 2011 (EDT)
 * Not to speak in behalf of the staff, but as I take it, this is a non-profit collaborative effort by Zelda fans and a community centered around a common interest. Making a profit isn't necessary nor what it's really about. Frankly, I'd say we're set apart from the likes of Wikia in the sense that we don't sell out, and that's something to take pride in. 16:31, 22 June 2011 (EDT)


 * I remember we did have some advertising. It's that green text you sometimes see in articles. It's not too invasive and generates a modest revenue, enough to keep the wiki running. Other than that, I agree with Pakkun. Besides, I don't think Nintendo would like it if we were making tons of money off their franchise :P 16:55, 22 June 2011 (EDT)
 * They were common during the second half of 2010, but afterwards I've not seen again. -- 17:17, 22 June 2011 (EDT)
 * But still, Bulbapedia makes a huge revenue and no one stops them and no ones mad that they aren't in on it Sean 21:33, 22 June 2011 (EDT)
 * I don't know the specifics, but I'd say their servers have a lot more strain that Zelda Wiki's. They have to support all of Bulbagarden, not just Bulbapedia, which includes the highly active forums. It all goes into the site, and any leftover money is used for giveaways during December, so they don't pocket any cash. 22:03, 22 June 2011 (EDT)
