Zelda's Adventure and the Shrines
OKAY so I was browsing the wanted pages and I came across Shrine of Strength. I was curious as to exactly wtf this was, because I've never heard of it. Looked it up and found that it's one of the dungeons in Zelda's Adventure, the craptastic CD-i game where you play as Zelda that has horrible voice acting and stupid live-action cutscenes. So I did some digging, and found that there's seven of these, and we have a page for ONE. The Shrine of Earth. We DO have a page called Dungeons in Zelda's Adventure, but it's just a listing. Now I have to beg the question: do the shrines all go on that page or do we have each one individually? What are your opinions on this one? Personally, I can argue either way. The content is small and secondary (in favor of one page), or the content can be exanded upon with enemies faced, items gained, bosses, themes, etc. I had my doubts until I saw Shrine of Earth. That somewhat convinced me that it's possible. But I'll let them community decide. 15:23, 1 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Usually the point of the dungeon listings is to act as sort of a "portal" to the individual dungeon pages. It looks like we were going for having pages for each, but it never got done. Most of what we have on the CD-i games is courtesy of the work done by Heroofstuff (who is no longer active) and Shadow Reaper a few months back. It seems the project never really got completed and now that part of the wiki is just stagnating, so what's why you're seeing what you're seeing.
 * I think they can stand on their own as separate pages, if someone cared to make them. That said, I have had thoughts about marginalizing the non-canon games. That is, decrease the number of non canon pages by lumping all the locations into one page and all the dungeons in another, like we have for the items (see here and here). Just a thought. 15:39, 1 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Yeah, Shrine of Earth looks like a pretty decent page, which makes me think that the rest of the shrines could stand to have their own pages...if someone makes them. :c --Dany36 16:05, 1 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah sorry guys I've been meaning to do the pages (really have been) but I got a job recently and that much CD-i is most likely unhealthy but I do need to stop being lazy and attempt to trudge on with the work. So that being said in the next few coming weeks I'll (hopefully) be adding the remaining shrines (may the goddesses have mercy on my undead soul) SHADOW REAPER OUT PEACE!! --Shadow Reaper 18:24, 1 December 2012 (UTC)
 * I pity you. I tried to play the CD-i games and got very angry within five minutes. Never touched 'em again. I wish I could provide some info but there's just nothing about them on the interwebz. 18:34, 1 December 2012 (UTC)


 * By the way Shadow, don't feel like you're forced to do anything you don't want to do, especially not CD-i stuff. We wouldn't wish that on our worst enemies. 18:45, 1 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Naw thats okay HK I'm slowly waging a one man war on red links and most of them belong to me. Besides sadly........I actually WANT to play Zelda's Adventure. --Shadow Reaper 18:53, 1 December 2012 (UTC)


 * I used to not really care about the non-canon games, but now I think it's important to have information on them on the wiki to avoid misinformation flying around. We either ignore them entirely or get it right, that's what I think. It's very hard to find stuff about them though, and because it's hard to find information, and people willing to play them in some cases, the pages are going to take more work to deal with. I don't necessarily think we should give up and lump everything together just because we haven't managed it yet, though. The fact that our wiki is lacking information should spur us on to ADD that information, should it not? Of course, it's pointless having a bunch of super stubby pages, but the dungeons in Zelda's Adventure are... interesting, at least. Try watching a play-though on Youtube. You will suffer almost as much as he who had to play them, but it's a pretty fascinating experience.
 * On the other hand, Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland is a genuinely decent game. It's no Zelda, but it's actually fun to play once you get your head around it, and has quite a few references while being it's own thing. Of course, I put the Tingle games on a WHOLE other level to the CD-i madness, because Nintendo actually had some involvement in their creation at least. They're so not canon though.
 * Unrelated, but I was thinking the canon templates maybe needed a revamp... they're kind of big. 21:16, 1 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah, they are. Abdullah and I have been trying to find different solutions to that (see here and here). 21:32, 1 December 2012 (UTC)
 * I agree. Though the CD-i and Tingle games are rather... different, as a wiki that aims to cover all aspects of The Legend of Zelda, we should provide information on them regardless. Linebeck IV 23:34, 1 December 2012 (UTC)

Let's talk about security
Okay, so I've only recently returned, but I've already noticed an alarming rate of new users with generic names that I guarantee you are being created by some spam script. This leads me to believe that we need to do something to up our security. I'm willing to talk with the MediaWiki developers if I have to regarding security and possibly finding a way to stop this. Because if it's this easy for them to get through account creation (with some even able to confirm email addresses) then who knows what's next? Mass page spamming? Hijacking of admin accounts? My point here is that I expected security to be better after two years away, and it seems worse. This is kinda disturbing to me, and it should disturb any sane person as well. If anyone knows anything about secuity and how spam scripts work, please contact me either at my email address (located on my userpage or on Skype (skype name shown here). I may be able to find a way for the wiki to detect and terminate these scripts if the developers can't help me. Should be fun writing more wiki extensions, anyway. I haven't written any since I made those ones we're still using today =3 22:36, 3 December 2012 (UTC)

Just a thought
I'm pretty sure this has been brought up numerous times, with no real conclusion... BUT, I was wondering if the staff would consider discussing lowering the number of required votes in order to feature an article or picture. Ten votes may have been fair at one point, but it seems that the number is only allowing the voting systems to stagnate. Either that or maybe it's time to retire the voting system? It's been losing activity for a while now, and even taking a look around I've noticed a few articles that have been in contemplation for over a year. Also, I wanted to point out that the Latest Announcements page hasn't been updated since June =) 23:53, 4 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Actually that's a really good point. Not enough people vote for that. Yet another point I wanted to bring up but never got to before leaving :(
 * And as for the announcements...yeah, they need to be updated or something.
 * Good to see you again on the editing front, Mandi. Stick around, it'll be a barrel of fun. 00:08, 5 December 2012 (UTC)


 * I actually would of nominated a few pictures for voting if it wasn't for the fact that it seems to require too many votes and there isn't enough activity at the moment. It's sort of a spiral of inactivity. The only way to make it more active is to lower the voting requirement, which in turn will give people more reason to vote. 02:45, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
 * OKAY, so I'm going to go ahead and actually propose what changes I'd like to put into effect:
 * For starters, we knock the number of required votes to feature something down to five. Ten is outlandish for how few active users we have and how little emphasis we place on voting.
 * I'd like to keep our standards of 3 votes in opposition to fail an article. I'd also like to add an addendum: should an article receive one vote of opposition, it must have SIX votes to pass, and with two votes opposed it must have SEVEN in favor. (This one I'm tentatively adding; if you guys don't like it, say so and we won't speak of it again.)
 * I'm also proposing removing the limit of only one vote of support per month. I would like to instead add a limit to how many articles we feature each month. I'd like to say no more than 1 or 2, as it would be appropriate to keep a newly featured item on the main page for about 2 weeks. Once two items are chosen, the page is locked from editing until the next calendar month, when it will once again become open to the public voting. (This is another tentative addition just to get the ideas flowing. Once again, it can be scrapped if you guys don't like it.)
 * Everything I've said using the word "article" was also meant to apply to the image voting. These are at least something to build off of. Please leave your thoughts so we can begin shaping a new policy for Zelda Wiki. Your input is greatly valued, from the plain ol' editor to the high profile administrator. 04:58, 6 December 2012 (UTC)


 * I agree with Justin, in that I support reducing the minimum number of support votes to 5 and setting the minimum ratio of supports vs. opposes as 5:1. 3 oppose votes being an automatic failure? That one I'll have to think about. One support vote per month is a silly limit and has obviously proven counterproductive. Kurtis (talk) 06:07, 6 December 2012 (UTC)


 * I say yes as well. I actually supported this way back when it was first proposed two or so years ago, but back then people weren't really too much into the idea (also some bureaucrats and admins didn't like it either). 5 votes to pass sounds good to me while keeping the three-votes-needed-to-disqualify thingy. I don't think people have been following the one-vote-per-month rule anyway (and I'm pretty sure admins/patrollers weren't checking), so it's not a big deal. This will just make it official. :P --Dany36 21:28, 6 December 2012 (UTC)


 * What Dany said. I guess it's sort of a similar concept to the voting system for Featured Content Disqualification, where a vote in favor counts as +1 and a vote against counts as -1, and the article/picture becomes featured at +5. 21:45, 6 December 2012 (UTC)


 * At Justin's behest: I concur. :) I think 10 votes is a bit excessive, but 5 would be a nice round number. 3 opposition votes sounds good to me though. I mean if three seasoned members turn it down, it probably doesn't belong, right? :) 00:21, 7 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Also, we need to have people actually notice what votes break the rules. Most of the featured articles may not have been featured, because one of their votes broke one or more of the guidelines.
 * The "one support a month" thing is crazy, too. I would say, one support an article/image, and if a user is abusing their voting privileges,  they are warned and or the votes in question are negated.
 * Having articles featured at +5 is a great idea. Agreed.

I'm looking at the current guidelines and what they should be changes to...


 * An article needs the approval of ten users in its favor in order to be marked as featured. (Change to five)
 * You may make a maximum of one approval per calendar month. (Unlimited)
 * You may not vote for any article which you have nominated, or for which you have already voted previously. (Keep)
 * Votes (in support or opposition) should be added in order beneath the respective relevant header (either or ), with # at the beginning of the line. (Keep, and possibly allow certain users to move votes if an user states why an article should be featured in the wrong section, vice versa)
 * All approvals MUST be signed using 00:31, 7 December 2012 (UTC). If you do not sign your opinion or second, your comments WILL NOT be counted! (And if the user adds their signature afterwards, it shall be recounted)Be sure to include a brief message stating why you agree that an article should be featured. (Keep)


 * I like Justin's idea, I'd say it'd work well. 01:53, 7 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Glad you brought this up guys, it's long overdue! For my part, I agree with what's been said so far. I like the idea of using the same "tally" system as the disqualification uses (support = +1, oppose = -1) and I agree that +5 is a more reasonable target. Personally, I'm not entirely sure about still requiring 3 opposition votes for a nomination to fail; my concern is that something inappropriate or ineligible could slip through and become featured quite quickly now, just be being popular, if we don't pay attention. That being said, I don't have a problem with leaving that as it is for now, and possibly reviewing that in future if it becomes a problem.
 * The main thing I'd like to add, which hasn't been mentioned so far, is a time limit. At the moment, if someone makles a nomination that's neither popular nor unpopular, it can be left there indefinitely with no votes either way, because nobody has an opinion on it. Case in point; River Zora was nominated for featured article around 22 months ago, and since then it's garnered one vote in support, and a few neutral comments. I think we should consider some kind of reasonable time limit after which a nomination can be removed due to disinterest. 07:01, 7 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Oh wow, Adam made all the points I wanted to make. Just to make my position clear, I agree with the +5 lead and unlimited voting per month. Not sure about the 3 post disqualification. If an article stagnates for 6 months, it should be disqualified. It may be renominated later after receiving improvements, with the score reset to 0. If we see that mediocre articles are going through, we can impose stricter guidelines later on. 08:30, 7 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Excellent point, about the time limit, Adam. I support 6 months for auto disqualification due to disinterest. 15:47, 7 December 2012 (UTC)

Revised Guidelines for Featured Article/Image Voting Proposal
Going off the reactions to the previous guidelines proposed, I have made revisions and changes to my proposal. Here are the new guidelines I'd like to put forward for review:

FIRST, these are what have generally been agreed upon:
 * 1) Voting system: The voting system will be changed to resembled the article disqualification system. A vote in support adds +1 to the score while a vote in opposition subtracts a -1 from the score.
 * 2) Votes to win: An image or article must receive a score of +5 to win.
 * 3) Voting limit: There will be no voting limit. Any user may vote as often as he or she likes.

The following is up for debate:
 * 1) Disqualification: If an article does not receive a +5 score within 4 months, it will be a failed nomination. I now propose removing the rule of 3 oppositions to fail a nomination, given the scoring system. There is also a proposal of changing the fail conditions to a score of -3. This means that instead of three opposition votes immediately killing a nomination, the article must receive enough opposition to lower the score to -3. It is possible that we could have a time limit and a possibility of a failed nomination due to low score. This is what I agree with most.

Please post your thoughts and ideas. We're slowly moving closer to a decision here! 17:48, 7 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Yes to disqualifying after the agreed time limit and killing it early with a -3. If an article is so bad that we get a majority with legit oppositions, we don't need to wait the entire 4 months to remove it. 18:09, 7 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes. About the voting limit, do you mean we can vote only once for each proposed nomination? I also think that a vote should be able to be negated if the user is abusing privileges (i.e, a user adds an opposition comment on every proposed nomination with the message "bad"). As far as disqualification, my opinion is that we have a time limit and a possibility of a failed nomination due to low score. 22:34, 7 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, you can vote as many times as you like, but you may only vote once on an article/image. 22:54, 7 December 2012 (UTC)
 * The disqualification requirements sound good to me. 21:33, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
 * I think it would be better if the oppose votes were expressed as a percentage of the total votes. For example, if the oppose votes represent a third of the total, the article will not be featured. I'd prefer the minimum number of support votes to be 6. So with 2 oppose votes, 6 support votes would be enough in order for the article to be featured, 3 oppose votes would require 7 support votes, 4 oppose votes would require 9 support votes and 5 oppose votes would require 11 support votes. Zeldafan1982 00:42, 9 December 2012 (UTC)
 * So you would prefer if the support vote minimum was 6? 5 is easier, mainly because the only conditions an article will be featured with 5 support votes is if everyone agrees. Let me rethink it: Ok, that's only a one number difference, 6 is fine with me. :D


 * Anyway, shouldn't we just go ahead and feature the Ikana Kingdom article already? It has 8 supporting votes and 0 opposition votes. 00:55, 9 December 2012 (UTC)


 * A score of 5 to qualify and a time limit of 4 months seem fair. Everything sounds good to me (and I agree that we might as well feature the Ikana Kingdom article). 17:36, 10 December 2012 (UTC)


 * What Dannyboy said. Although what Zeldafan proposes is interesting, I feel as though many users might have difficulties understanding it. The simpler this system is, the better. 21:53, 10 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Then we have the new voting system ready? I suggest that we vote on the new voting system to see if the majority of voters find it fair, though that doesn't seem necessary as the majority of staff agrees with the new voting system.
 * If we are going to feature the Ikana Kingdom article, we may as well feature the image of the Great Fairies from, correct? They are both with 8 support votes and 0 opposition votes. 22:50, 10 December 2012 (UTC)


 * I'd suggest we avoid discussing what should happen to individual articles or pictures we're currently voting on; once the rules change, we can just agree to apply those new rules to the current votes, and feature or disqualify the content as applicable.
 * In terms of the rules themselves, it does seem like we have a good consensus. I'd suggest the next step would be for someone to rewrite this copy of the current rules to how we intend them to read. That way we can use that page to fine-tune the wording and details of the policy before launch. We do need to make sure it's as simple, straightforward and unambiguous as possible. 09:16, 11 December 2012 (UTC)

Here's a rough draft for what the rules are proposed to be changed to:  Rules: Feel free to change this copy, delete it, etc. 00:57, 12 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Scoring and conditions for passing a nomination
 * All nominations start with an initial score of zero.
 * A supporting vote adds 1 to the score.
 * An opposing vote subtracts 1 from the score.
 * An article needs to achieve a score of +5 within 4 months of the nomination date in order to be featured.
 * A nomination automatically fails if the score drops to -3.
 * Voting
 * You may only vote once on a particular article.
 * You may not vote on any articles you have nominated.
 * Votes should be added beneath the relevant header (either   or   ), with # at the beginning of the line. The current score must be updated to reflect this new vote.
 * Supporting votes should include a brief message stating why the article should be featured.
 * Opposing votes must specify how the article fails to meet one or more of the qualifying criteria described above.
 * All votes MUST be signed using ~ . If you do not sign, your vote WILL NOT be counted!
 * Modified to clarify some points and make it easier to read. 11:35, 12 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Alrighty. It is with great pleasure that I declare this discussion officially closed. We got a lot of people to weigh in their opinions on the proposal, and we've more or less reached a majority consensus. The above guidelines (thanks to Darkness for writing them out and Abdul for cleaning them up) will officially go into effect as soon as I've finished modifying the appropriate pages. Any articles or images which have a score of at least +5 according to the new system will become featured. As far as the four month time limit...I will tentatively say that any current featured content candidates will receive a time limit of four months from today to either pass or fail. Thanks so much to everyone who took the time to lend their opinions and thoughts! 02:37, 13 December 2012 (UTC)

Wind Waker Quest Status Items Navigation Template
On the Image Requests Page, K2L left a request for start screen menu images for various games in order to build item nav templates for each game. However, K2L has left Zelda Wiki. I wish to fulfill one of his requests by implementing a navigation template for The Wind Waker 's quest status items, based on the existing TWW Items template. Is this OK? Wwtoonlinkfan 05:08, 9 December 2012 (UTC)
 * You don't have to ask permission to make something. Go right on ahead! 20:20, 9 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Indeed. Template:Items is still very much an ongoing project. 20:26, 9 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Here's the TWW Quest Status screen. Feel free to crop or do whatever you deem necessary to do the template! --Dany36 04:24, 10 December 2012 (UTC)

Mobile version of Zeldawiki.org
I was just thinking. When you go to a site such as Wikipedia.com on a mobile device (eg. iPhone) you will be greeted with a nice, mobile friendly version of the site. So maybe, if it isn't too much trouble, could this be implemented site-wide to Zeldawiki.org? I often visit Zeldawiki for all sorts of things and I'm sure many others do and would welcome this.


 * Absolutely. As a matter of fact, the staff has been recently been talking about doing just that. We're aware of how necessary a mobile skin is at this point; one of our admins is currently working on making one. Until that comes into fruition, we apologize for any inconvenience. I know firsthand how much it sucks to navigate the wiki on a phone. :P
 * For future reference, all you need to do to sign your posts is leave four tildes ( ~ ) at the end. This automatically generates a signature with your username and a timestamp. 20:42, 21 December 2012 (UTC)

Custom Edit Buttons
Okay, so no one's paying any attention to this in the chats, so... I've adapted some javascript from Wikipedia and worked with RAP to create custom edit buttons for the toolbar at the top of the edit box. The buttons insert our various citation templates into the edit box (like cite, cite web, cite person, etc.), and I think it would be nice to see this publically implemented. Not only would it greatly encourage users to source their additions to pages, but it would assist editors who are editing without the help of a copy/paste function, much like myself when I edit through my Xbox's internet. The buttons are as follows:

I think it's pretty obvious what each one is, but I linked them to the appropriate template just in case. Thoughts? (By the way, I should probably give Adam some credit, as well, since I found the link to the javascript on his userpage :P) 02:14, 23 December 2012 (UTC)


 * I'm all for it. They certainly can't hurt, anyway. 02:22, 23 December 2012 (UTC)
 * It would certainly be a helpful addition. Definitely a good idea. Zeldafan1982 15:56, 23 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Go for it. --Dany36 01:03, 24 December 2012 (UTC)

Excessively long articles
So I've noticed that we have a lot of extremely long articles. Normally, this is a good thing, but there is a time when an article becomes too long. Any article which exceeds 96kb is prone to technical glitches, performance issues, and excessive load times. Given how many users browse the wiki on mobile devices, it is unacceptable to ignore the problems which this poses. We have a list of excessively long pages, all of which I'd like to see cut down to a more user-friendly size. I'm not proposing gutting the articles and removing important information; what I propose instead is that we find ways to move sections of the articles onto their own pages and simply provide a link to them on the main article, much like we've done with Hyrule and its Hyrule/Appearances by Game. This is an important project which will require the input and cooperation of all users. If you would like to assist, find a page which you'd like to help cut down and post possible ways to reduce the size on the talk page of the article. Note that this is only necessary for articles which are over 96,000 bytes (aka 96kb), although articles approaching this limit should also be taken into consideration. 22:59, 23 December 2012 (UTC)


 * As I said on the staff chat, one thing we can do for Link, Ganon and Zelda is to take out all the noncanon and ambig content and move them somewhere else. "Ganon/Other Appearances" would be pretty good page, with the main article linking to it. Not many care for noncanon stuff, it its lower priority than anything else on there. However, it would still be accessible this way for those who care. 21:07, 24 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Although it hurts to say it, I agree with what Abdul said. I believe we can do the same for the Triforce article, no? --Dany36 21:18, 24 December 2012 (UTC)


 * I've come up with a few ideas regarding the Zelda Timeline and placed them on its Talk Page. As for the other pages: we can easily make sub-pages for noncanon appearances for Link, Princess Zelda, Ganon and the Triforce, and the different sections of the Skyward Sword Translations could be split into their own pages (e.g. "Skyward Sword Translations/Characters"). This could also be done to The Wind Waker Translations if necessary. 18:15, 27 December 2012 (UTC)

Modifying some notice templates
Our notice templates, namely ,    and   , kinda suck. That's why Hylian King and I have been doing some experimentation (links: first, second, & third). The idea here is to make them non-intrusive. As a result of some goofing around, we also managed to give them the added capability of hiding text. For example, if one section is full of spoilers, you might do the following: 

Spoiler text

This would wrap "Spoiler text" with code that allows you to hide and show it by clicking the template. If the whole article is full of spoilers, you can still opt for the standard at the top of the article, without wrapping anything.

The designs and ideas are still in their infancy, so feedback is appreciated. 21:01, 24 December 2012 (UTC)


 * On the first link, I really like the second one, but I'm not sure if it gives away that the users are supposed to hover over the words to clarify what Ambiguously Content means? Like, maybe put some dots under it like the exp template or something. The first one is great too so I'm cool with either. --Dany36 21:24, 24 December 2012 (UTC)

You know what bugs me? And this unfortunately isn't really solved yet by those options, but it's the colours and the size. The main issue I have is that they're garish and big. The green and pink are ugly and the boxes are HUGE and cover the whole width of the page (at least with the first option). It actually draws more attention to the sections when it should, ideally, be doing the opposite. Also, I'm not sure I like the idea of a template that hides an entire section by default, I'm not sure if the templates do that or not? I thought I saw that on the first link but visiting it again it seems to be visible by default, nevermind. 01:09, 25 December 2012 (UTC)
 * The problem I see with the "spoiler" template is that we would have to incase most of the wiki's content in them. Nearly all of the content can be identified as a spoiler. It would take a tremendous amount of work to place them on every page, however the other templates are great. 01:59, 25 December 2012 (UTC)


 * About the templates drawing more attention than they should, isn't that the whole purpose? "HEY DUDE YOU'RE KIND OF READING INFORMATION THAT IS NONCANON WATCH OUT" As for everything being considered a spoiler, yeah that's kind of the problem I had with the spoiler template. At one point it was sort of decided that we would not mark spoilers anymore (we even put up a sitenotice saying HEY THIS WIKI HAS UNMARKED SPOILERS EVERYONE WATCH OUT) but...I guess we just sort of went back to marking spoilers? Zeldapedia does that (mark everything as spoilers, I mean) which I consider to be kind of unnecessary, but spoiler tags and whether they should be used is another whole discussion :P --Dany36 16:46, 25 December 2012 (UTC)


 * I agree with Fizzle, actually made the same comment a while back in the chat, although I rather like the colors. Makes things lively. Also Dany, what about ambig canon? "HEY DUDE THIS IS SORT OF CANON BUT NOT REALLY SO DON'T WORRY TOO MUCH ABOUT IT". Kind of a mixed message, no? Anyway, that's why I put forward the version in that second link Abdul posted and in my sandbox, I think it's visible enough to be a good warning but subtle enough not to really draw much attention. The problem is it's pretty puny for something that takes up a fair bit of space lengthwise. Thought it would be cool if it could sit on the header line to make everything more streamlined. That's proving to be extremely difficult to pull of without some kind of complication, though. 17:30, 25 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Hmmm...I meant more along the lines of letting the users KNOW FOR SURE what kind of material they are reading, not so much as to whether they should pay attention to it or not. It's their choice, after all. ;p --Dany36 17:39, 25 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Fair enough. And Fizzle, the idea is that users will be able to choose in their preferences which sections they want to be hidden on page-load. But they will all be shown on default. 17:45, 25 December 2012 (UTC)

Alright, I tried remedying the size/color issue with these last two attempts. I also added some images and dotted lines, just to mix things up. Tell me if you think they're better, and if not, what needs to be fixed. 15:11, 26 December 2012 (UTC)
 * These things are a bit subjective of course. Anyway, I like the last three more. They take little space and have rounded corners. I think the fifth would be better without the dotted line. Between the fifth and the last one, the fifth is a little more attractive. Zeldafan1982 16:00, 26 December 2012 (UTC)


 * I very much like the second out of the three new options you placed down. The first is nice too, although not sure if Tingle should be the image for sure, but it seems nice, either one is good in my eyes. Both of those seem still noticeable but less garish than the usual templates and hopefully they won't take up too much space (is it possible to make them marginally thinner at all or is that pushing it?). 19:21, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
