Main Page Ads
Are there supposed to be ads on the main page?! If so why! --Person777 20:11, 4 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Because they pay for the monthly server bills and for maintenance. It was deemed that banner ads would be more beneficial for the site (and less invasive) than the in-text ads we were using before. If it makes it any better, the ads might possibly be disabled for registered users in the future. 21:45, 4 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Oh. Well, now the ads aren't appearing on my computer. I'm not sure if that was supposed to happen. Well, if it gives you money and disappears on my screen I'm OK with it! --Person777 20:44, 5 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Well we're thinking that disabling ads for registered users probably won't have much of an impact on the ad revenue so we're trying that for now. The site is now 100% ad-free for logged-in users, at least for now. Enjoy! 21:34, 5 February 2013 (UTC)

Featured Picture Caption
Can the description of the featured image be changed to "Link versus Dark Link"? It's not Shadow Link. 21:18, 26 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Good call, although his name appears to be "Link's Shadow" in AOL. I'll go ahead and change the caption. 21:39, 26 February 2013 (UTC)

Formatting
The main page is completely broken. It looks like it's a problem with the CSS. There's red text scrambled across the screen and the text is really small. I can see some messed up templates, too. Can someone try to fix this? 22:40, 19 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Everything's fine. We just had a couple hiccups while trying to install some anti-spam extensions. I purged the cache and it looks fine now. 22:42, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

Accessing Wiki from Google
I've been having using my routine of accessing the wiki through Google, it comes up with a "No site configured at this address". It's still possible to access the wiki through other articles, but the Main Page link that runs through the html "www.zeldawiki.org" isn't accessible even through the search bar. --Smighty 09:23, 24 April 2013 (UTC)

Door of Time Image
The Door of Time image on the main page (and community pages) is still the Heart Container image from a while ago. Shouldn't we have a different image for it? --Planetbox 00:39, 13 June 2013 (UTC)


 * Done. 19:53, 13 June 2013 (UTC)

Typo
Just noticed that "Youtube Account" is missing a "c". Captain Tetra 16:21, 21 June 2013 (UTC)


 * Haha wow, as if that went unnoticed for so long. It's been fixed. Thanks for the heads-up! (Went ahead and changed it to "channel" seeing as that's really the proper word for it.) 16:48, 21 June 2013 (UTC)

Countdown
Since the Wind Waker HD is out world wide should the count down still be on the main page? -- 17:56, 5 October 2013 (UTC)


 * I changed the countdown to a post-release message. Feedback on the new layout is welcome. 03:22, 6 October 2013 (UTC)

3DS Zelda Game
On the mouseover navigation portals near the top of the page, someone should add the newly confirmed 3DS Zelda (and possibly the Wii U one as well), since we know they exist. Mahboi 02:25, 18 April 2013 (UTC)


 * True. Problem is we have no artwork of Link for either of these games yet. I can't think of anything that would make for a decent placeholder... 21:26, 18 April 2013 (UTC)

Featured Article Change
Don't forget to change the featured article! Ghirahim has been featured for two weeks. Zeldafan1982 06:16, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

Shiny Icon
Hey, can you make the ASBN icon all shiny like the other ones? Also, Ive never understood why that art was chosen for SS—considering they redesigned him later for the game. Or is that what he's "supposed" to look like? 21:20, 13 June 2013 (UTC)


 * I tried to. The problem is the person that designed all the icons up until ST is no longer active at the wiki. We have no way of getting the "empty" version of the icon from him. I've tried replicate it, but it's practically impossible to get the color and opacity of the "glass" just right. It does the job for the Milk Bar and Door of Time, but the difference between my icon and the original is too noticeable on the ALBW icon. I thought it looked better without it (compare this to this). 21:51, 13 June 2013 (UTC)


 * Gotcha. I might try to decompile it. Another thing—the image for the hel guide is already used as the main icon, so could we do something like the sheikah stones (not statues, the ones you sit in) from OoT? 15:41, 14 June 2013 (UTC)


 * The current one serves its purpose, so it would be a change based on preference and not necessity. But hey, if you or anyone else feels up to the task of making a new one, then by all means, go for it! The community banners are fairly important, though, so a new one would have to be approved by the userbase at Zelda Wiki:Hyrule Castle. 23:26, 14 June 2013 (UTC)


 * I'm going to have a go at replicating that icon shininess! I'll let you know how I get on! ;) SuperSonicConzor 21:39, 8 August 2013 (UTC)


 * I've done it. See what you think! SuperSonicConzor (talk) 09:20, 1 September 2013 (UTC)
