Zelda Wiki:Milk Bar

Where'd all my edits go?
Just now I noticed that all the edits I've made in the past few hours have vanished, along with any sign of their existence. All of the articles I've edited appear as they did before I edited them, and the edits no longer appear in Recent Changes or in my contribution log. I'm probably missing something really obvious, but what's going on here?--Osteoderm Jacket 17:41, 12 January 2012 (EST)
 * Same here, thats wierd, I updated Iris's page an hour ago by uploading her Sprite and it appears to have disappeared, the image and the changes, what just happened here? --Vaati The Wind Demon 17:49, 12 January 2012 (EST)
 * Hmm. If it happened to more than one person over the same interval I'm guessing it's a server problem.--Osteoderm Jacket 17:52, 12 January 2012 (EST)

Same, here reported it to staff XXSuperXXNintendoXx 17:52, 12 January 2012 (EST)
 * Does that mean I'l have to reupload the file or is it fixable? --Vaati The Wind Demon 17:55, 12 January 2012 (EST)

Seems like the wiki went down 2 days ago, so they uploaded a previous backup of the server where our edits today wern't back up on.
 * Ah. I take it my edits can't be recovered and I should go ahead and redo them, then?--Osteoderm Jacket 18:01, 12 January 2012 (EST)

To be safe, yes XXSuperXXNintendoXx 18:07, 12 January 2012 (EST)
 * It won't let me upload the image now, I get an error saying, "The upload directory (public) is not writable by the webserver.". How do I fix this? --Vaati The Wind Demon 19:00, 12 January 2012 (EST)


 * Thanks for letting us know, we're currently looking into this problem. We apologize for the inconvenience! --Dany36 19:11, 12 January 2012 (EST)

Shadow Dungeon Symbol
The current symbol for Shadow Dungeons is a dark and demonic bat head thing. In my opinion, I think it looks just a little bit silly. Wouldn't a black or purple skull be more suitable? Anyway, I'm not exactly complaining, I'm just trying to suggest changes for the better. Lahmaster 4:16, 13 January 2012 (AEST)
 * Not a bad idea. I hope Abdul can spot this suggestion (I suck horrendously at making decent templates other tha navigation templates and the like, so I apologize for my incompetence). -- 02:05, 13 January 2012 (EST)
 * I don't really see how a black or purple skull is any less silly than the current symbol. Besides, this is Zelda.  It's a series that allows for a bit of silliness, even in the more serious games.--Osteoderm Jacket 06:53, 14 January 2012 (EST)
 * It this point, we're really just nitpicking: skulls, bats, rats, ghosts - they could all suffice for "Shadow" dungeons, and there isn't one that's more representative than the other. This being said, a skull wouldn't really be a change for the better, it would be a change from something that works to something that works equally well. To that, I say let's leave it as is, cool thought though. 10:50, 17 January 2012 (EST)
 * Personally I think we should be using symbols from the game somewhere, given that the games already have symbols for more than half of the, uh, "elements" used. There is already quite a useful Shadow Medallion symbol, why not use that? Fizzle 13:39, 22 January 2012 (EST)
 * I agree with Fizzle. Using the Shadow Medallion makes much more sense than the current icon. Not only is it better representative of the element, but it's easily recognizable by people new to the wiki. MrBatman 12:03, 2 February 2012 (EST)
 * Other elements can be represented by their respective medallion symbols. Forest Medallion.png for Forest dungeons, Fire Medallion.png for Fire, Water Medallion.png for Water, obviously, Spirit Medallion.png possibly for Desert? I know its "Spirit" but the Spirit Temple is a desert temple, so go figure. To be honest I'm not even sure if we need any more aside from Shadow Medallion.png Shadow, that covers most dungeons aside from neutral ones if you ask me. Maybe Light for dungeons like Tower of the Gods and Sky Keep. Fizzle 14:11, 3 February 2012 (EST)

Gerudo Desert in Ocarina of Time
Is it a reason that the facts about the Gerudo Desert from Ocarina of Time is removed? If not, can someone fix the article? --Niklas 14:46, 26 January 2012 (EST)


 * The desert in Ocarina of Time is never referred to as the Gerudo desert, so I removed it. --Dany36 17:44, 26 January 2012 (EST)
 * Ok, but where is that article then? --Niklas 02:27, 27 January 2012 (EST)
 * Haunted Wasteland and Desert Colossus. Gerudo Desert now has a little note at the top clarifying this. 02:55, 27 January 2012 (EST)

The Legend of Zelda Roleplay Site
Hello. I'm starting a The Legend of Zelda roleplay site. I've been using exclusive pictures and information from the Zelda Wiki, and use it for all my sources. I was wondering if the Zelda Wiki would Affiliate with me, with my site specified as a roleplay site, as I need ways to gather players. I'd post a link to my site, but that would be quite presumptuous.

If this is not allowed, is there a popular Wiki for The Legend of Zelda fanfiction or fanon that might allow a link to my site? Again, most Wikis list their fanon cousins, but the Zelda Wiki doesn't seem to. Pikmin Fanon is in NIWA, but it seems to be the only fanon Wiki in it.

I hope to get a response from someone high enough in the Zelda Wiki for a definite answer. Rest assured, I would be fine if the answer was no. I would just prefer someone point me in the right direction if so.
