Userbox Requests
I noticed that there is no userbox for owning Tingle's Balloon Fight. If someone could make one, that would be pretty sweet. Thanks. —Alter 01:21, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

I'd be glad to make one. Just give me a few minutes.--Link hero of light 01:41, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

Is this all right? --Link hero of light 01:52, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

It's great! Thanks! Is there a guide to make your own userboxes?—Alter 02:40, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

Not that I know of. But here is something one of the sysops, Adam, wrote a while ago: --Link hero of light 04:11, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
 * 1) First, choose a name. This should always be (where xxxx is your description)
 * 2) To create it, just edit any page (such as the Sandbox), type and preview. This will give you a red link to your desired userbox template.
 * 3) Then, just copy and paste the code from any other existing userbox. Substitute a new image, text, HTML colour codes, and usage instructions.


 * There's a guide right here. 17:22, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

Sweet! Thanks a million! By the time I'm through, there'll be a UB for everything. ;)

P.S. Can someone give me the code for the Veran one??—Alter 20:38, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

What code are you referring to?--Link hero of light 22:09, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

The guide says "Copy and paste the code from a similar userbox, and modify the code as you see fit (modify the colors, images, anything else where applicable)" I'm not looking for the User Veranfan one. I'm looking for the HTML code. Basically, I want to make an Onox one, and just replace the image and text. —Alter 23:14, 25 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Just leave it to me! (unless you're done before I get back). --Felicia&#39;s Champion 06:18, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

How's this? --Felicia&#39;s Champion 06:21, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

w00t! Perfect! Thanks for the code, too! Now I'll be able to make some userboxes! —Alter 16:49, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
 * No problem. You could have just gone to Template:User Veranfan and edited it to get the coding, as well. - §tigma-231  »[ talk ][ cont  ] 16:59, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

lol Oh, ok. Thanks again!—Alter 19:17, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

can someone make me a 'dondogo dislikes smoke' one with a no smoking sign on it pls -doom234 08:38, 12 April 2009 (UTC) 17:07, 30 March 2009 (UTC) 17:04, 30 March 2009 (UTC) 16:52, 30 March 2009 (UTC)(5:48pm 30/3/09)

Is this what you had in mind?

Also, it looks like you're having some trouble signing your posts - all you need to do is type four tildes, like this: ~ There's also a link below the "Save page" button called "Sign your username". Or you can use the second to last icon on the toolbar: 19:47, 30 March 2009 (UTC) thanks, for the user thing and the advice. -doom234 18:44, 31 March 2009 (UTC) 18:42, 31 March 2009 (UTC) 06:53, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

Image Cleanup Request
Anyone think they can fix up this image or sharpen it a little or something? If so, that'd be great. 18:21, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

Super Smash Bros (Melee) Stages
Why does each SSB/SSBM stage get it's own page, while stages from SSBB do not, I propose a merge into "Stages in SSB" & "Stages in SSBM" -L285 17:52, 24 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Yeah, that definitely needs to be done. Only reason I didn't try was that I've never played any of the SSB series. Also, aren't some stages present in more than one of the games? 18:58, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, but they can only be put on the page of the earliest game, I'll get to work -L285 16:26, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

Members From Another Site And Wanted Pages
I would seem that the 'Wanted Pages' are full with links to pages which have not yet been made. To decrease the number of pages within the 'Wanted Pages', I say to un double brack them, and only double brack them if they become a member of Zelda Wiki.org. This will decrease the ammount of 'Wanted Pages', it makes the page look nicer because there is little to no red links within it, and it will make the Wiki itself look nicer and more 'perfect'. I know Mandi and Matt want a perfect Wiki, and so this is a step towards that goal. 13:10, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

Symbols page
I'm new here (I hope I'm doing this right), and I thought it would be cool to have a page with all the symbols that appear in the Zelda series. There are little tidbits of information about a lot of them scattered throughout the site, but I don't think there is one page for all of them. I'm talking about things like the crescent moon and star symbol plastered everywhere in Ocarina of Time, which was replaced with the current Gerudo symbol in later releases of the game. I mean everything from the Triforce to the symbol on the pure metals and the Phantom Sword. The Gerudo's symbol and the Sheikah's eye symbol already have their own pages, and reading them gave me the idea. We could talk about what the symbols stand for, their game of their origins, where they have appeared in the series. We should have images to go along with them; that's essential, I guess.

Some symbols I had in mind are on the pearls in Wind Waker, which match the symbols for the songs on Oracle of Ages. There are some on the Rod of Seasons. The Hylian script should be in there. There are symbols for all of the races in Ocarina of Time on the stain glass depictions of the sages on Wind Waker. Stuff like that.

I hope this idea becomes something awesome. Thanks. Noble Wrot 03:41, 27 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Oh wow I've been wanting to get on that for so long. But I'm terrible at finding images. Just don't go and make up analysts for each one. That'll lead to a fan ficky page. ;P I'll help gather up some interesting symbols like the symbols for the 4 seasons in OoS, the Maku seed symbols etc, 03:53, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

Oh, I didn't think of the Maku seed symbols. Don't worry. I don't plan to over-analyze anything. I like canon material too much. Every time I see "theories" and "fan speculation" mentioned on this site, I want to strangle someone. I just wish I knew who I should be strangling. Probably you.

I should mention that I can draw the symbols if no official art of them exists. I'd like to draw them regardless.Noble Wrot 04:45, 27 March 2009 (UTC)


 * I know for a fact that the Maku symbols can only be obtained by drawing them, I have a decent drawing of both from my OoX puzzles. In general fan drawings are out of place here, but I think the symbol drawings will pass muster with the rest of the staff. Glad you agree about all of the theories and fannon, btw we keep a chokeable neck nearby at all times around here, better get a plush animal. 07:11, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

Well, the OoA's and OoS's box art has some drawings of the Maku seeds on them, but all right. If we have to draw them, I doubt we'll have to do it much. A lot of things are easy to find if you remember where you've seen them. I was thinking through all the games, trying to come up with notable symbols, and the only one I can think of from LoZ and AoL is the cross on the shield, the graves, and the item itself. AoL is also where the Triforce is first shown in its familiar pyramidal arrangement and on the back of Link's hand. For ALttP, we have the symbols on the Spell Medallions. We can group those together, I guess. In Link's Awakening, there's a Windfish symbol on the floor in the final boss room, but I don't know if that's notable (still neat looking). OoT has symbols on every one of the Sage Medallions, and the Spiritual Stones seem to match the symbols of the races they belong to. I can go on forever. Here are your seasons symbols and ages symbols. I could keep going all day, but I have a college class to get to. Noble Wrot 16:32, 27 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Ok, so there are the symbols on the sail in TWW and as well this horseshoe looking thing on the rudder and switches. A similar symbol is on the shields of green Bokoblins, but without the dot in the center. Maybe we should get started. Can someone please remove those symbols from those Ages and Seasons pics? Noble Wrot 01:26, 28 March 2009 (UTC)


 * So is this going anywhere or what? I think it would be an awesome contribution. Noble Wrot 22:22, 3 April 2009 (UTC)


 * I have no idea how to cut circles in Gimp, but I'll make the page and you can edit everything in. :P It can't stay an idea forever. Ok, Page is created Symbols Since you seem so determined, I mostly left it alone, this to allow you to shape it up to your vision, Better hurry New pages are likely deleted within days. 04:06, 4 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Aye, thanks for the help. I shall put my college writing skills to the test, I suppose. I will list names of symbols before I actually get pictures for them. I sure hope it doesn't get deleted. If I don't get this done correctly, someone else is always free to help. This will be my first page. I see you outlined it. Good start. Noble Wrot 05:15, 4 April 2009 (UTC)


 * I don't believe anyone is going to delete it. So no worries there :) 05:40, 4 April 2009 (UTC)


 * It's shaping up, but it's still in desperate need of images. I'll try to make it a full page within the next few days. I'm trying really hard to stay on track, talking about the origins, meanings, and appearances of the symbols. I'll get to the Sage Medallions and Race Emblems later today. Also, like I said, I will finish all the writing for this before I put in images. If anyone would like to fit some into their proper places, I would greatly appreciate it. Again, this is my first page, so I would like some feedback, too. Thanks. I'm off to bed. Noble Wrot 09:03, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

Broken picture
on the Slingshot page http://www.zeldawiki.org/Slingshot there is a broken picture. it's a red link near the top that says 'File:Fairyslingshot.gif'. can someone find this picture and fix the link or get rid of the red link. i don't want to get rid of it myself incase it can be fixed. thanks. -doom234 08:32, 12 April 2009 (UTC)


 * I fixed it up. I got rid of it as the file doesn't exist. It may have been deleted. The image that's there (Image:Fairy Slingshot.jpg) is a good one, so it's all good. :) 09:39, 12 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Mel, that one was deleted - by you (seemingly because it was a duplicate of Image:Fairy Slingshot.jpg.) You need to be careful that images or pages aren't linked to before deleting them ;) 17:06, 12 April 2009 (UTC)


 * I'm aware that I deleted it, but I wasn't aware of that link. I do make sure I check for such things, but that one must have slipped my attention. Apologies folks. 07:11, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

Foreign Names
I thought it would be nice to add the foreign names where they exist. For example: Death Mountain is called "Feuerberg" in German, which means "Fire Mountain". I also noticed that the German names are more close to the Japanese original than the English ones. But since I only speak German and English, I would need help with the other languages Japanese, French, Spanish and Italian. I know that the Japanese Names are already on top of some pages but I think it would make sense to add an extra section at the bottom, as Super Mario Wiki already has that and I find very interesting to see how some things are called in other languages and why. Here you can see an example: http://www.mariowiki.com/Dry_Bowser#Foreign_Names Furthermore, it would also make it easier to find certain pages for people like me that haven't played the games in English.

Well, I first wanted to see if you think it's a good idea to add something like this and if others are willing to help. And probably someone also would have to create a template or so.


 * Hi there, and welcome to the wiki! In terms of German links, we actually already have a partnership with a German Zelda wiki called Zeldapendium, and we recently started including interwiki links to their articles on our pages. We use Template:De to do this, which adds an "In other languages" section at the bottom of the sidebar (look at this article for an example). If you'd be willing to help with this, that would be excellent, as we don't really have anyone here who speaks both English and German fluently (until now ;) Just let me know if you need any help with how the template works.
 * Regarding the other languages, and the idea of a "foreign names" section, I'm not really sure if we'd want to do this exactly like that. Nobody was very happy at having the German links in the main body of the article, which is why we moved them to the sidebar. Ideally, we'd like to be able to find other thriving Zelda or gaming wikis in other languages and add then add links instead of translations, in the same way as the Zeldapendium project. But I don't think there are any such wikis at the moment... 17:06, 12 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Ok, I could do that with the links to Zeldapendium. If you explain me how that with the template works. I think the easiest way would be an example. The corresponding article to http://www.zeldawiki.org/Faron_(Spirit) on Zeldapendium is http://www.zeldapendium.de/wiki/Phirone
 * Now, what do I do? --Nelde 21:28, 12 April 2009 (UTC)


 * I've added the link. Basically, it's just a case of adding a line to Template:De in the format:
 * |Zelda Wiki article=Zeldapendium article
 * Then, adding a tag at the end of the article automatically creates the link specified in the template. It's easiest to add a bunch of links all at once, so you don't have to edit Template:De too many times. Two things to watch out for; try keep the links in the template in alphabetical order, and if the link on the page doesn't work (sometimes titles with special characters don't), swap  for the the full link using . Let me know if you come across any problems!  21:46, 12 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Ok, I got it now. Thanks. Btw, Zeldapendium does have these multiple language translation things, so if you're interested in other languages, have a look there. --Nelde 22:28, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
