Hey
Hello. I'm Ando, one of the sysops here. Sorry if it seems like we're ignoring the Zeldapendium / Zelda Wiki affiliation we've got going now -- because I'm certainly not. It's just that I'm waiting for our tech guys to hopefully implement a new way of linking to Zeldapendium (with links on the left sidebar instead of the template method being used now). I just figured I'd let you know in case there were any thoughts of "why aren't they linking to us? Are they ignoring us?" I for one would love to link every article here to Zeldapendium -- once we get the links working that way. :) 19:14, 10 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi Ando, no, I just thought that nobody knows the German names *gg* So whenever I link from Zeldapendium to ZeldaWiki.org I also add the template here.
 * If you want to have the links on the left you can go to Special:Interwiki and add a new one with the prefix "de" and the URL "http://www.zeldapendium.de/wiki/$1". The prefix "de" causes MediaWiki to interpret it as an interlanguage link instead of an interwiki link (only interlanguage links are shown in the sidebar). There is no other possibility to add "custom" interlanguage link prefixes (the parser detects automatically if the prefix is a language code or not, using Language::getLanguageName, see http://svn.wikimedia.org/doc/Language_8php-source.html#l00442).
 * At Zeldapendium we use a table containing all translations because we want to compare them :-). The table is added by a template and in this template we link to ....
 * Should I wait adding the "zp" templates until you decided if you want to change anything? --Pascal 20:04, 10 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Well, we do have an interwiki link set up. But it is not with the prefix "de". We can change it I think. And yes, not many of us know the German names. 20:12, January 10, 2009 (UTC)


 * !!! Wow! We were under the impression that you actually had to manually access the database and modify it to add interwiki links -- that's why we hadn't done it yet! Thank you very much for this information! THIS IS INCREDIBLE. I will test this out now. 20:28, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
 * It worked! You're brilliant, Pascal. Thank you very very very much. I will now work with getting as many Zeldapendium links on here as possible. 20:31, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Also, for the Ganon article -- would you rather it link to Zeldapendium's Ganon article or Ganondorf? Because the Ganondorf article seems to be a closer German analogue to what we have here than the Ganon article. 20:46, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
 * you're welcome ;-)
 * Ah, you have a combined article for both of them ... yes, I also think the "Ganondorf Dragmire" article is closer. --Pascal 21:01, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

Alright, it's done. Now to figure out what to do with Gleeok (you appear to have it split into three articles?)... I'm not sure where to go with that one, honestly. 21:06, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
