Problem.
I have a problem while trying to upload a file. I can't select the game, type or licensing. The only option given is "None selected".


 * Fixed. It was an issue with page caching. If ever the problem comes up again, you can fix it by the cache of these pages: MediaWiki:Games, MediaWiki:Filetype, and MediaWiki:Licenses.
 * Thank you for bringing this to our attention. In the future, please sign your posts by adding four tildes ( ~ ) to the end of your posts. This automatically adds your username and a timestamp so everyone can know who wrote the post and when. :) 22:10, 16 December 2014 (UTC)

Add Some Pictures, Videos, and Info about the prototype of the first Zelda game.
Since there is no info about the prototype about the first Zelda game, the original FDS version prototype. I'd figure that we should add info about it, it would be a great thing. Some photos can be added. I can take snapshots of this leaked prototype from 2010. It's official after all. Should there be a gallery dedicated to it. --Pwwnd123 (talk) 21:36, 16 December 2014 (UTC)


 * While we should definitely note that a prototype exists, I don't think we need to cover it in-depth. It's more up The Cutting Room Floor's alley and they already have a on it.  22:10, 16 December 2014 (UTC)

Hyrule Warriors Illustrations
For Hyrule Warriors theres a bunch of listings at the bottom of the page. i thnink it would be great to add one of the illustrations or even go more in depth and add gold skulltula info. but im thinking that pictures of completed illustrations and the dlc ones would be great. Ccw0100 (talk) 21:54, 24 December 2014 (UTC)
 * There are already images of all the Illustrations in its own article. You can also find the details on Gold Skulltulas in the Scenarios in Hyrule Warriors pages. Chuck (talk) 04:06, 26 December 2014 (UTC)

REQUEST : Page that lists iterations in order
–I think a page that gathers as much information as possible about re-releases of game would be very appreciated. Particularly for Ocarina of Time, but other games as well.

I'm looking for information on Twilight Princess, as I know the original release contained the infamous game-ending bug. This was fixed of course. However I was wondering if there was still a way to tell which of these early launch day copies has the bug without opening it.

This and the subsequent replay of this incident in Skyward Sword are just minor examples. For the latter it might be handy to note that all copies of the bundle are verified to contain the bug, just to drive home the point further. Servantofgod (talk) 00:41, 29 December 2014 (UTC)

Moving the Names template
Hi all,

The staff was discussing our article format and Pakkun proposed that we move the Names in Other Regions template up into "Etymology" sections. They would be the last of section of articles before the Gallery.

So it would look something like this, this, or this.

This has a few advantages. For one, it gives editors space to write about the names in full paragraphs. Two, having a dedicated section makes it easier to find the table and edit it. Three, that information belongs in the main body of the article anyway, not below references and nav templates. The only downside I can see is that in some cases (like my last link) the table can create a big gap between the Etymology section and the next section down.

If anyone has suggestions or concerns before we move forward, please post them here. :) 10:12, 30 December 2014 (UTC)


 * Does look like a good idea. Not sure it will stop people from misrepresenting a name taken specifically from a European translation and misrepresenting it as applying to both sides of the Atlantic, though...--Shiningpikablu252 (talk) 16:40, 30 December 2014 (UTC)


 * So long as we stick only to official translations (we really need to clean up all of those pages too while we're at it), then I'm still fine with this. -The Goron Moron (talk) 17:02, 30 December 2014 (UTC)

Wind Waker artworks
Hello,

this page already offers quite a lot artworks of the original Wind Waker, but only a few of the new HD version. Could somebody with access to the Nintendo library upload files which are not already on the wiki, if they are more?

For example there isn't a version of the Master Sword in high resolution. All 3 uploaded Master Sword Stages have a pretty bad quality.
 * We pretty much have all TWWHD artworks from the Assets Library, so basically they never released a Master Sword one. Also, don't forget to sign your posts with ~ . Chuck (talk) 19:30, 2 January 2015 (UTC)

Gohma split issue
For quite some time now there has been an issue regarding the split of the gohma page. I, being a new user can not do much about this. I would ask that a staff member make a vote for this topic, and act on the decision. Minuet of forest

Question on WIP pages
I happen to be a big Hyrule Warriors fan, and want to submit to creating information on the game. My current project is resting in my sandbox, and is a page on Special Attacks. However, being new to the site, I feel, it may be more efficient to put it up as an actual page, with a WIP box on the top. This way, as contributions are added to the page, it can be updated and brought 'up to code' in ways I have yet to be experienced in.

Before making this decision, I would like to know if this would be allowed, or if I should just keep it in my sandbox and work on my own until it is finished. As it stands, it has yet to have all of the chart filled.

Thanks.Mr. Poe (talk) 05:33, 25 January 2015 (UTC)


 * First of all, awesome work that you've done so far! We could really use an article detailing each of the characters' Special Attacks, so thanks for helping us out! I would suggest that you add more about what a Special Attack really is (sort of like an introduction and overall use, the bazaar Badges that affect Special Attacks, etc.) so that the article can have more of an overall explanation of it instead of just listing each attack. I'm not sure if I explained myself correctly, but I think by looking at some of the Sword Techniques articles, such as Hidden Skill, Jump Attack, and Spin Attack, you can sort of see what I mean: they all in some shape or form mention what the attack is used for, how to perform it, and even any upgrades it may have (such as the bazaar Badges I mentioned earlier). I think once you have those things added, it would definitely be ready to be put on an actual page, even if all of the Special Attacks aren't listed.


 * If you have any questions as to what I may have meant, feel free to ask away!! Keep up the great work, and happy editing!! :) --Dany36 (talk) 21:44, 25 January 2015 (UTC)


 * Oh yeah. I was planning to get to that, but I haven't quite yet - my current project was going about listing the things.  I'll get right to that and turn it into the actual page!  Thanks! Mr. Poe (talk) 23:36, 25 January 2015 (UTC)

Sword pages (Hyrule Warriors and otherwise)
While I was making a page for the Knight's Sword in, I realized that not all swords had articles, and some in the Swords template just link to their "swords by game" page. I was wondering what the policies for the Sword pages were. How do we determine which swords get their own articles? -- Zero-ELEC (talk) 23:57, 27 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Generic unnamed Swords most of the time just link to a "Swords in" page, such as the Sword from LA. The Swords template seems to be a little outdated, so will have to fix that. 00:50, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

Majora's Mask 3D Help
I was wanting to know if you guys'd like help with finding more changes in Majora's Mask 3D. I already pre-ordered it, so I could definitely try to find some new changes once it's released if you want. Thanks. 14:20, 3 February 2015 (UTC)


 * Hey there. That sounds great!
 * Everyone's welcome to add information if they're willing to help, so feel free to do so when it comes out. :D 22:10, 3 February 2015 (UTC)


 * Glad to hear. I'll do my best.. 18:59, 4 February 2015 (UTC)

Fan-made Content
I wanted to know if there's a page for fan-made content like fan art, remixes, and other stuff like that. If not, then do you know a good website for uploading fan-made LoZ content? I've made a few remixes and stuff in my time and I thought it'd be cool to upload it for other LoZ fans to see. 19:08, 4 February 2015 (UTC)
 * The Wiki focus in official content only, but once the ZU forums are back, you are more than welcome to post any of your fan-made material there. 21:02, 4 February 2015 (UTC)
