Multiple edits
Hello! I noticed you've been making a lot of edits to the same page over a short time. Doing this puts a large strain on our server and clogs up the recent changes. So instead of saving a lot, use the "show preview" button next to the "save page" button. It'll allow you to view your edit for any mistakes so you don't have to make a lot of fixing edits or additional ones! :) 23:02, 7 October 2012 (UTC)

Oh... I'm sorry. I will make sure to use the preview button more often! Darkness 22:45, 11 October 2012 (UTC)

Signature
Sorry, but I was just wondering how to create a custom signature to use while signing my posts? I followed the instructions, but I couldn't figure out how... sorry to bother you. Darkness 23:33, 28 October 2012 (UTC)


 * Alright, well, start by copy-pasting this code onto User:Darkness/sig:

—Darkness


 * Every color is represented by a six-digit color code. Black, for example, is 000000. Replace those zeroes with whatever color you want your signature to be. You can find out the codes for every color here. Replace "Arial" with whatever font you want. When you're done, save the page. Then go to User:Darkness/sig2 and copy-paste   there. Save the page. Then go to "My Preferences" and type    in the "Signature" box. Make sure the "Treat signature as wikitext (without an automatic link)" box is checked, then save your preferences and voila! Custom signature.  23:21, 29 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Thank you so much! 23:31, 29 October 2012 (UTC)
 * No problem! I noticed it was a little small so I added a little bit of code to your sig, since I forgot to tell you how to change the size. Hope you don't mind. 23:36, 29 October 2012 (UTC)
 * And, as a last question, how come my signature is yellow? Ummm... sorry. I tried to follow the instructions but it ended up yellow (Like most links) 23:46, 29 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Here's why 00:14, 30 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Thank you so much. 00:15, 30 October 2012 (UTC)
 * I know I shouldn't post here, but how do we add a link to our signature so it leads to our user talk page? 13:30, 30 October 2012 (UTC)

Images
And, sorry to bug you, but are we allowed to add images to the wiki that will be used only for our own user pages? Darkness 15:57, 29 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Yep, you can! :3 --Dany36 20:32, 29 October 2012 (UTC)

Just an FYI
Hey Darkness, I just wanted to let you know that I've responded to your question on dany36's talk page. Just to summarize what I said there, Twilight Princess on the Wii is the same game as Twilight Princess for the GameCube (albeit with some technical differences stemming from being released on two different consoles), so it cannot possibly be any less "canon" than its GC counterpart.

Hope this helps, take care. =) Kurtis C. 10:48, 3 November 2012 (UTC)


 * Thanks a lot. I can't sign my posts because the symbol that you put down is sending me to a weird software page. Sorry! And thanks again.


 * That's odd. Have you tried simply clicking on the four tildes in the box below the "save page" button? I don't see how they could cause complications... 17:51, 3 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks! I never noticed that box. Sorry. 18:02, 3 November 2012 (UTC)

Artwork
If I want to upload fan art that I made, what is the copyright? It's not another person's work, but it's not official, either. I watched the video tutorial and it looks like there is supposed to be an option for My Own Work. Where is it? 22:17, 5 November 2012 (UTC)
 * On the FileInfo template, you simply add "Fan art" onto the section where it asks for copyright information. Whereas if you want to source it, you simply add a link to the website you "got it" from. So, say you posted it on deviantArt, you would get the link from the dA page it came from and put that onto the source section. If you want to further directly claim it, just say so in the summary; though, it's recommended that it's posted on an alternative source besides Zelda Wiki. 08:25, 6 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Actually, the image I want to add is a heavily edited and recolored images that I got from the wiki. I looked at the Fan Art category and plenty of them are the same thing. So the source would be the wiki? But you said that it shouldn't be... and one of the pictures is a picture I drew myself and scanned it onto my computer. What would the source be? And I don't have any other places to post my work besides on my userpage. Sorry. 14:19, 6 November 2012 (UTC)
 * In this case it would be fine to just not put any source. 21:37, 6 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Is there supposed to be an option for My Work in the Licensing menu? 21:54, 6 November 2012 (UTC)
 * When uploading fan art you always have to select "Another individual's work" because that's what adds Template:Fan art to the page. That covers all unofficial, non-copyrighted art whether it's yours or someone else's. Yeah, it's pretty misleading... Come to think of it, I'll go change the wording right now. And yes, the video tutorial is outdated; some of the options you're seeing there don't exist anymore. I'll see if myself or another staff member can go about recording an update when one of us has the time. 22:29, 6 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Thank you so much for changing the wording. I went to upload my file and saw it... it really helped. Thanks again! 23:02, 6 November 2012 (UTC)

User Page
Do you think my user page is too long? I'll erase most of it if you think that would be better... Sorry if it is. 18:00, 7 November 2012 (UTC) (Oops... the Wiki just crashed. I had to rewrite this.)
 * Your user page can be as long as you want it to be, there's no rules on that. However, we do ask that the main focus of our editors be on contributing to the wiki. The user page is just extra, really. 22:04, 7 November 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry about that. I try to edit to the wiki more than my user page, but I forget sometimes. 22:06, 7 November 2012 (UTC)
 * No worries! It's all about having good intentions, and clearly you have that :) 22:19, 7 November 2012 (UTC)
 * I deleted nearly all of my user page. It seemed to be unnecessarily long. And I moved it all to another page. 01:05, 13 November 2012 (UTC)

Image sources
Hey again! Great to see you've taken to uploading images. =) One thing though, if you obtained the image from another website, it is really important to say where you got it from in the "Source" field of the upload form. That way everybody gets the credit they deserve. 00:56, 9 November 2012 (UTC)

I'm so sorry. I'll do that for all of the next images I upload, and are there any sites we shouldn't take images from? (Besides Fan Art) Just asking. Thanks and sorry. (By the way, if we took an image from the manga, is that Copyrighted or Fan art?) 01:01, 9 November 2012 (UTC)


 * Copyrighted, and it would count as a "scan" type. There's technically nothing stopping you from uploading images from any site, but we'd really rather you not upload images from Zeldapedia. 01:09, 9 November 2012 (UTC)


 * Thanks so much. And is there any way to tell whether an image is official or not? Some fan art looks like it could have come from the game. And thanks again! 12:50, 9 November 2012 (UTC)

Email Address
I have a problem-a friend registered for a Zelda Wiki account and she doesn't have an email, so I told her to put mine. However, my email is also registered for my account, and I was afraid that someone would think that both were created by the same person and delete both. What can I do to stop this? 23:46, 14 November 2012 (UTC)


 * Rest assured, that won't happen. It's OK for several users to be signed up under the same email address. Even if it weren't, we wouldn't just block accounts without talking it through with you first.
 * As I've said before, we would really appreciate it if you asked your questions at the Milk Bar. If ever anybody else comes along with the same question, that's where they'll be looking for the answer; not here. 00:02, 15 November 2012 (UTC)


 * I'm sorry. I guess I just forgot... and thank you so much! 00:05, 15 November 2012 (UTC)

Refs
Hey! I'd just like to point out that all you need to do to add references to a page is use the Ref template by writing. It's much simpler than the method that you've been using in your recent edits, like this one. :) 06:49, 28 November 2012 (UTC)


 * Oh... thanks. I really didn't notice that template, and the instructions on using References don't mention it either. Thanks for pointing it out! 23:25, 28 November 2012 (UTC)

Zelda template
Just so you know, Template:Zelda is mostly for coding other templates and is generally not for use on its own. For the "game" field of fileinfo, all you need to type is the acronym. For example, there's no point in typing because just typing MM would have the same effect (see ). That said, we appreciate you helping out with the files. :) 02:28, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks so much. I had no idea about that.... I seem to be having trouble with templates. And our computer has a software that shuts down the computer when I type a fourth tilde.  11:59, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
