Future Tense
Yes, it's correct that the articles should be in present tense. But don't be too hasty. A lot of what you've been changing because you thought it was future tense, wasn't actually future tense. For example, the sentence He will start to lose his balance and then get knocked off the pillar by his own boomerang when it comes back. This "will" here is the third-person singular simple present will. Meaning it is in present tense. So were many others you changed. 20:44, June 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh, I see. The problem is that, in some articles, the verbs are used in any time tense. For example, in the Wizzrobe and Darknut articles, as well as numeros articles about the Zelda II bosses, all verbs were in past tense, hence why I was fixing them. But thanks for the advice. --K2L 21:00, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah. All that Past tense, then future tense, and then present, and then back to past kind of stuff all in one article bugs me too. It's good to clean it up. 21:03, June 2, 2010 (UTC)

Thoughts!
I read your thoughts section, and I think it's a good start for those who don't know where to begin in writing and organizing articles! The reason why ZW doesn't have a manual of style, and may never have one, honestly, is because wiki editing, organization, and such is up to the user's discretion, especially at a small wiki like this one. Because we are community-based and the information is ever changing, a strict manual of style may restrict a better way of organizing and writing pages - chances are these pages as we see them will not look anything like they do now in the future, in order to provide the best possible organization and content as new information comes along. But I think you're on the right track, at our size and scope! ;) 02:22, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the advice, good to see that someone took the proposal in consideration. My intention with the proposal is not necessarily to restrict the editing freedom, but to provide a model that can assist users, a guide of sorts (and it doesn't have to be as severe as the Wikipedia MOS). I mean, when I came to the wiki for the first time, certain pages had sections that could also be useful for other articles. For example, only Majora's Mask had a Reception section, only The Adventure of Link had a Legacy section (and it was known in those times as "Pros"), only The Wind Waker and Twilight Princess (well, perhaps Ocarina of Time too) had Timeline Placement sections, etc. Then I thought: "Hmmm . . . and what if each game article had each section like these?" And you already know what happened later =P. But it's OK if there isn't an official MOS; as I said, I simply want to make the articles less convoluted. Same goes for dungeon articles, boss articles, etc. Perhaps the best tool for an editor is to use common sense.
 * P.S.: What do you think about the new scheme of my userpage? Just a question =). --K2L 02:49, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Yea, I totally get where you're coming from here. I think there definitely should be a thin MOS, one that talks about how to organize the bottom of articles at least (Gallery, See Also, External Links, Templates, yada yada) because that's the part of pages with the least flexibility - and you touched on that a bit in your MOS section. On an unrelated note, you're definitely making yourself a role model for other editors in terms of article harmonization and consistency! I'm lovin it!


 * And I think the alternating colors is very cool on the page - it makes it look cool without being too crazy and chaotic like some userpages on the wiki! :P 04:59, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

???
What do sans and tsundere mean? Supermariosuperfan 04:00, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
 * War and terrorism. And because Tetra is a pirate,..... Actually, I'm kidding. The term "tsundere" is a Japanese portmanteau of two other terms; tsun and dere. Respectively, they mean harsh and gently. Tetra is initially harsh towards link, and so is Midna in twilight Princess. However, the attitude changes for the better as time passes, as these characters become more fond of Link. It's a somewhat obscure word, so don't worry if you were unaware of it. Type the word on Google if you want to learn more about it. --K2L 04:06, 16 July 2010 (UTC) (P.S.: Forgot one thing: "Sans" is an abbreviated variant of "save". That is, except)

New Boomerang page
Yeah! I like more your experimental version of the Boomerang page. Jeangabin 00:12, 18 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Dude, and I was shocked when I saw the You got new messages template after logging in, because I was doing other stuff and forgot almost everything about the sandbox I made (well, that and the fact that I still didn't spread the word about this on the users' talk pages to invite them to watch the sandbox =P). I'll see now if the other editors (like Cipriano and Dany) agree with the new format proposal. I don't want to risk to do anything wrong this time. --K2L 03:05, 18 July 2010 (UTC)
