Brief Guide to Article Content and Formatting
Although Zelda Wiki.org has the enviable stub ratio of 0.1438, many of the stub articles are frequently vistited and noticed. This project hub will strive to bring stubs to decent article standards. See Help Guides for more in-depth information.

Tips on expanding an article beyond Stub-status. Introduction Introduce the article as well as possible. Make the reader want to read the rest. To do this, don't repeat what the article says, simply touch those points and offer an insight.

Images Find Images by searching related articles, Unused Images, or other websites (particularly our affiliated sites).
 * Additional images can be added to an article's image gallery.

Links Add pipelinks to increase the navigatibility of the page. Avoid linking to disambiguation pages. Click on the links and ensure they have the proper identifiers and do not end at a disambiguation page.

Templates Consider adding a template or even a few. such as an infobox, a related subject navigation template, etc
 * Infoboxes ZW has many infoboxes and probably needs many more.
 * Ensure the fields of the template are up to date, more fields are added often and few older insertions are updated
 * Add or suggest any new fields you believe are warranted
 * Navigation Templates ZW has largely overlooked the use of Nav Templates thus far, many new nav templates are likely warranted to keep consistency in Cross-References.
 * If you are unsure of how to create these, you may request new ones in the Zelda Wiki.org talk:Castle Town

Tables Tabilizing some awkwardly placed information is another option. Advanced tables can also be done (such as sortable tables, and irregularly celled tables)
 * Examples of Tables in articles: (Largest to smallest)
 * Normal Tables: Wheaton & Pita, Ship Parts
 * Irregularly Celled Tables: Goron Dance
 * Sortable Tables: Magic Rings, Characters in Super Smash Bros. (Series), Goron Shop

Overhaul Reformat the article if necessary, sometimes bold changes are needed. In this case you may be better off working in the Sandbox and getting some opinions before replacing the article.

References Revisit the source(s) of the article and find more things to write with the goal of expanding the article in mind.
 * Take notes and use specific quotes for references from the game, instruction manual, official guides, official site, or even developer quotes.
 * See Help:References for help with including references or even ask any of the in-house Citationists.
 * Use to mark statements needing a source. A future ZW project will be to get references on every page doing so will help this.

See Also Sections Many articles needing cross references have none.

Categorization Review the article's categories and determine if these are adequate, add more relevant categories if possible.

Delete? If a topic is Zelda specific, regardless of its importance, a deletion is unlikely. One other option is to merge pages of little importance into similar or related pages. The Zelda Definitions page could serve as a common ground for pages that have few options for a merge.
