Miracle Stone
In the Windwaker Soundtracks I found the Song "The Miracle Stone Shows one's True Nature" It isn't of much Importance, but What is the Miracle Stone? Is it the stone with which Tetra and the Lions King Communicaate? If so, why isn't there a page for it. I would do it myself, but I haven't got Windwaker(Only borrowed it to complete it 4 Times) The Butcher 12:22, 22 August 2008 (UTC) Thank you.

Cleanup time!
Hi guys! First of all, I hope you'll join me in giving a warm welcome to the Zelda Legends team! (have a look at this news post if you don't know what I'm talking about ;)

The reason I'm writing is that as a result, it's come to my attention that there's a little chore which needs to be taken care of, and I'd like to ask for volunteers. As you're all aware, images posted here are categorized using templates to show which site they were taken from. So basically, now that Zelda Legends is onboard, we need to change the templates on their images from this:

to this:

Making the change is as simple as editing the page and adding the letters "ZW" (like ). The catch is that there are quite a lot. Although there are less that 30 to be done for Zelda Legends, I noticed at the same time that there are still nearly 200 Zelda Dungeon images with the old template! In short, it's a lengthy task so if some kind person has some time to kill I'd be grateful for the help. Those who volunteer (assuming you're not a sysop or admin) will be given autopatrol rights (so I don't have to go through an patrol the changes myself!). It may also be a good idea to add to those images which it's missing from at the same time. Please reply here and I'll make the change to your account and generate the category of images to be worked on. 09:00, 21 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Hmm, no takers then? Maybe I put everyone off, reading it back I didn't exactly sell it! Well, it still needs doing if anyone's interested; and you don't have to commit to doing all 200 by yourself! 06:22, 16 October 2008 (UTC)


 * You need to "advertise" in your edit summaries to this page. That will catch people's attention. 06:30, October 16, 2008 (UTC)


 * I did the Zelda Legends images already since there weren't that many, I just never mentioned it. Sorry about that. I could probably do the Zelda Dungeon work later during one of the site's less trafficky times for X-TRA SPEED considering how bloody long it takes. 14:50, 16 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Okay then for you or whoever else feels like picking away at some more, here's the list of images remaining for Zelda Dungeon. 17:23, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

Cool. I'll get on to that later tonight (after I come back from a TOTALLY RAD MOVIE) is no one beats me to it. 18:48, 16 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Jeez. Like the second I finish, Adam jumps in and finishes. Are you psychic too? Or were you just watching and waiting? 06:53, October 18, 2008 (UTC)


 * To do it, I highlighted every single image, then right-clicked and chose to open all in new tabs (I think that is added by Tabs Mix Plus). So that's like 146 or so tabs. Thank goodness for this fast PC! The new server really showed its power when accessed en mass. Took only four minutes to load all of them! I then ran through them, pausing every once and awhile to go ahead and go to edit mode in several following tabs. And a couple pee breaks. 07:03, October 18, 2008 (UTC)

Next cleanup job I know of is deleting the unused files. There are quite a few and most don't have any templates. You two will have to do it. I cannot delete files.... .... .... Yet. 07:21, October 18, 2008 (UTC)

Darunia image request
Any chance someone with greater (read: any) skill at transparentizing images could make Image:Darunia.jpg transparent and then replace the image currently on the Darunia article with it? The one I've linked to is bigger and of better quality. 02:36, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

Massive Button Holder Glitch
Every time i go on to Hyrule Castle, The Heart Container and Pieces of heart, the Yellow Links and their Continer Boxes become very large and obstruct my view of the article, can someone fix that?-Jedi 13:04, 21 October 2008 (UTC)


 * If you have Internet Explorer, it can't be fixed. Internet Explorer messes up everything. You'll have to get Mozilla Firefox. 13:38, October 21, 2008 (UTC)


 * I just checked. Internet Explorer really messes it up a lot. It is not a problem with the site. It is coding errors in Internet Explorer. To fix it, it'll have to be fixed over at Microsoft. Those guys have so much money, they just don't care about the quality of their products. Get Firefox. 13:50, October 21, 2008 (UTC)

I also have Internet Explorer and the same thing happens to me (but with every article on the wiki). But I doubt it is because of coding errors because it was fine until Zelda Legends was added to the masterminds box. So it must be too big and is messing Internet Explorer up. Maybe somthing less important could be removed from a diffrent box?--Link hero of light 14:49, 21 October 2008 (UTC)


 * I suggested that for another reason here. There are two things I suggested removing, and two that I suggested adding. So we could try removing those two things first and see if that has an effect. But I don't think that is it. It was more like when we upgraded the wiki software. Because I remember it was like this when I had to use the public PCs that didn't have Firefox. I think that was before Zelda Legends joined. 15:01, October 21, 2008 (UTC)

Solved; it was my fault! Turns out that it was all due to a single missed  tag within my signature! Matt's advice is still sound - I believe all the admins use Firefox, hence the wiki is essentially designed to be viewed in Firefox by default. There are other minor issues, such as the one with userbox containers. Basically, the site looks better in Firefox, so the advise is to use it if possible (and I can't see any strong reason why you wouldn't want to in most circumstances anyway). It'd be nice if some more people could adopt the use of Template:User Firefox on their user pages, so we could get a clearer picture... 17:02, 21 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Fine, Adam. I'll add the dang template. Gosh.
 * Nice that the problem was found! As Adam said, none of us really use IE, so we pretty much won't ever notice any problems. Isn't it an internet law that you must use Firefox, anyway? :/ 17:30, 21 October 2008 (UTC)


 * The fact that Firefox didn't have a problem with it just goes to show that Internet Explorer needs improvement. Microsoft doesn't really listen to people when they complain about product faults. So Firefox is the better choice. It is easy to get it. Firefox is free. The download is quick. There are some key features that certain add-ons add that you'll want. You'll find a list of some of those, with links, on my Firefox Hints page. There also is a link to the download site, and several other hints too. 17:34, October 21, 2008 (UTC) P.S. It should be a law! ;)


 * Hey, Adam, what made you think to check your signature? 17:40, October 21, 2008 (UTC)


 * Troubleshooting is what I do for a living, basically. I reasoned that it must be some specific content of the affected pages, since it only happened on certain pages of the same type (talk). After testin g them, I realised it couldn't be the header template for the community pages (other pages that lacked them, as well as Castle Town, were unaffected), nor could it be the sidebar, or all pages would have the same issue. Then I edited one of the affected pages and previewed it with all the contents removed. The problem went away, so it was just a simple process of elimination to pin down which inclusion/transclusion (only signatures) was at fault. Once I found it was mine, I just previewed it with various bits of code stripped out to find the problem area. The only annoying thing was that I had to use IE while doing it - don't get me wrong, I don't hate Microsoft, but their browser is loathsome and pathetic. 18:42, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

Merging
I'm Kinda new and i don't know how to merge pages or what my talk and preferences are. Can someone clue me in?


 * Just copy the content to the second article, typically as a new section. Then redirect the first article to the section in the second. I'll do one now. Look at what I did to learn. 15:48, October 26, 2008 (UTC) P.S. It would have been better to ask this at Hyrule Castle.

Then how do i redirect?Dekuta 16:02, 26 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Erase everything in the article to be redirected. Click on the thing that says "REDIRECT" on the lower tool box. Then type the article and section in the brackets. Like this:  #REDIRECT Tingle 
 * That should be it. 16:09, October 26, 2008 (UTC)

Thanks a bunch!

pictures
Can someone get any photos of the construction paper cut-outs from the opening and Oshus's stories in Phantom Hourglass? If you can, Thanks! Dekuta 20:27, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I believe I can get the ones from the intro. Naokohiro 00:54, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Here you go:

I also captured over 400 images from the ending sequence, but I'm not uploading all of them here for obvious reasons. Naokohiro 04:59, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

Pic Cleanup
Can someone please Clean up the image Posssesg.JPG Please? It is way too blurry, i can barely recognise Linebeck!-Jedi 09:48, 4 November 2008 (UTC)


 * There is no cleaning it up. It is way to small and blurry to be fixable. We'll just need to find a replacement. 18:32, November 4, 2008 (UTC)


 * Ok then.-Jedi 09:01, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I may be able to come up with a replacement. Give me a bit. Naokohiro 00:08, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

How's this?

Naokohiro 00:51, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

Couple Userbox
I was wondering if someone could create another couple userbox for LinkxMalon. If you could, I'd really appreciate it. Triforce of the Gods 00:33, 11 November 2008 (UTC)


 * We talked about working on that earlier today. We are trying to find a suitable image. Once an appropriate image is found ,the userbox will be created. 01:41, November 11, 2008 (UTC)


 * Everything I've found is fan art, and I'm not sure if the artists are even around anymore since the work has been around for a while now. 02:01, 11 November 2008 (UTC)


 * It be best to avoid fan art unless we have no other choice. If the art has become that well known and wide-spread, then we'd have no problem putting them up here. It be under the fair use part of the US copyright law. 02:07, November 11, 2008 (UTC)


 * I could draw something up, but I'm not too familiar with cell shading in Photoshop/Gimp. 02:14, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

Ocarina Songs
Can someone please merge all of the Ocarina Song pages into one Ocarina Song page? At this point, it's very scattered, and would be better organized, if they were all on one page. Also, because the pages are very small and would be better sorted onto one page. Naokohiro 23:47, 17 November 2008 (UTC)


 * I don't think we'll merge them. But you're complaint gave me a better idea. I'll work on it. 00:11, November 18, 2008 (UTC)


 * What's the plan? I think there should be a single page with all songs (keeping the separate pages still). Maybe we could even setup a template? 00:37, 18 November 2008 (UTC)


 * I was thinking a template. Just like the one for the swords. 00:45, November 18, 2008 (UTC)
 * So, where is it, exactly...? 00:35, 19 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Just check an ocarina song page. 00:38, November 19, 2008 (UTC)

Bad Song Links
Could someone please correct or delete the bad links to music clips on the song article pages? 02:02, 20 November 2008 (UTC)


 * We can't put up music ripped from soundtrack CDs. That is illegal. But we can put up fan-made midi files. Fixing these links is actually a projects we're working on now. I'm made a template that marks article for having broken links. It is Brokenlink. You may place it on any page that you notice that has broken external links. Music or otherwise. 02:16, November 20, 2008 (UTC)
