Talk:Shadow Invasion

Long Windedness
I understand you're really just working on this page in general, but does it really need to be just so long? I mean half the sections have "Main Articles" so why are they so big here? Those sections should only contain explicit, pertinent information regarding this subject, and nothing else. If they can't be summarized/paraphrased without basically including the article that they link to, then they should be cut entirely and just replaced with the "Main Article" link, and only sections with no other articles representing them should remain here. Plus, this article seems to be shaping up more as a giant summary of events in Twilight Princess - or is that my ignorance speaking?

I'm not against page length when it's relevant, but I am against pages that are excessively long for no reason, and just because you're building the article is no excuse to make it this way. Do it right from the beginning and save yourself the trouble later. If anything you'll expand it, and that's better than cutting down, right? --Xizor 04:07, 25 September 2009 (UTC)


 * I understand Xizor, but I just gave a brief overview of the main articles so as to give an idea about how they relate to the invasion for those who just come to the page about the invasion. The greater details are covered in the longer main articles. Also, I'm not completely done with the article, I still have the aftermath to cover and to get pictures and sources into it, so it's still a work in progress. Link87 04:19, 25 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I sorta saw this coming, which is why I offered to make the nav bar. Just rework the top into a very few statements encouraging the reader to see the other articles in the chain of events here. Have it in one section, Preceding Events or something. This is what I was trying to get at in Skype. 04:37, 25 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Well see about putting this page (and for that matter, any page you work on in the future =P) on Wiki Weight Watchers, because obese pages are not good. Buff pages are hot, obese pages are not! --Xizor 04:53, 25 September 2009 (UTC)


 * I understand what you want, and I shall do what I can to comply with your requests. I can't promise it will be done one, two, three, but I will definitely work on it when I can between classes and work. And that really did make me laugh Xizor, lol. Very good quip, very good indeed. ;) Link87 06:31, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

I'm thinking that stuff that happens after Zant takes over Hyrule should just be omitted. This is just supposed to be about Zant's invasion, right? So why does it look like a summary of TP's plot in general?Ganondorfdude11 21:47, 5 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Yes it was a rather fat page. The extra fluff really isn't needed. It should be trimmed down to what is known to have happened for that event in the game. Instead of conjectures and plot summaries. 22:01, October 5, 2009 (UTC)


 * I will make a new page detailing the aftermath of the invasion, as per the wishes of the admins. However, I put some rather interesting facts that had been removed back into the page, as well as the quote proving its authenticity, namely the fact detailing that it was because Midna's father refused to name Zant as his successor that the throne was left vacant. As it does come from a true source and is marked correctly to my knowledge, I feel that information is important to new readers curious about the circumstances about Zant's rise to power. This is not conjecture, this is actually stated in the collector's edition book for the game, so it does have proof. Link87 00:14, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
