Hey, I never thanked you for that welcome message, so thanks! RazTwilight 07:11, 25 January 2009 (UTC)


 * No problem ;) 15:27, 25 January 2009 (UTC)


 * As well as RazTwilight, I would like to thank you for the welcome message too! How did you get your user-page to say what zelda games you have? Thanks for your support :) Green-Link 07:19, 03 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi Green-Link, those are called userboxes. We have a large selection, which can be found here. For help on how to put them on your page, read the short tutorial here. 15:33, 3 February 2009 (UTC)


 * An example, on the list page, there's a section "Required code", by copying and pasting that code onto your page, you will get the userbox. If I paste

the I'll get

And to keep them organized, put the userbox codes between and |}  15:40, 3 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Ya know your friends list? Can I be on there! Thank you for the welcome message! XD --GanonLink76 19:47, 3 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Well, actually I am really not adding anyone to my friend list at the moment. So, I would rather not. Sorry :/ 19:55, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

Hey Mandi! :) Firstly I'd like to thank you for the welcome message, and secondly, I was wondering how you made such a colorful signature, could you tell me how please? (By signature, I mean your ZeldaWiki autograph that can be used with the four ~s) - ShellShocker 07:28, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

RE:Hello & User Sig
My pleasure, it's simply what I do. Though I may not have extensive knowledge about the Legend of Zelda series, nor very much knowledge of it at all (seeing as how, sadly, I've never completed a single game in it, or gotten very far for that matter), I do, fortunately enough, have sufficient grasp of the English language. If I cannot offer new material, at the very last I may still be able to revise information.

Quite so, though they don't generally deter me. - §tigma-231 » ₩hen the blazing sun is gone [ talk ][ cont  ] 04:19, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Ah, my apologies. That was the signature format I generally use in most wikis.  I hope this is better? - §tigma-231  »[ talk ][ cont  ] 05:27, 26 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Yes, that is better. Though, sub-pages are the way to go (I have one) You can still do all that stuff like color change, links, ect. But, yeah, this is better. 05:32, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Excellent, and I usually use sub-pages, but I wanted to see if I could go without creating a page exclusively for me and my signatures this time. I believe it's working well enough thus far. - §tigma-231  »[ talk ][ cont  ] 05:50, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

Welcome messages
Hi (or hello?)

Just a quick note on welcoming new users to the wiki; I've noticed that recently you've used either the wrong template or incorrect formatting to do this. The correct (and only) way we should be using the welcome templates is:

 

I've noticed a lot of variations on this, mainly either forgetting to "subst" or using the Hello tempalte directly, but neither are correct. The subst is necessary as it places the entire paragraph of text in the user's talk page (a lot clearer and easier to understand/respond to for a new or inexperienced user). Using the Hello template is not appropriate as it misses off the section header; also, why would you want to type something longer than necessary? ;) Please don't think I'm nagging for the sake of it, I just think that with so few of us actually doing the welcoming, it'd be nice to get some consistency going. Thanks! 07:11, 6 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Someone used copy and paste. You made a spelling error.
 * I might also add that you should change the edit summary to say Welcome. That makes it look more professional. 08:22, February 6, 2009 (UTC)


 * Will do. I have seen several users type, and seeing how both ways work, I was wondering if I was using the wrong method :P Thank you for clearing that up ;) 16:34, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Okay, Matt will remember that as well.


 * Wait, a Hello template and a Hi template!? I was unaware of that, my apologies. 16:37, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

Improve Template
I noticed you've been placing the improve template on many of these new TRR pages, however, the template is usually used in articles that are unorganized and lacking in detail, not necessarily that they're short. The stub template is a better choice. 18:36, 7 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Didn't know that :P I'll go and replace it then. 18:37, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

I was learning how to do basicly this and I decided to make it worth wile.
I ment not to ofend eney one I tryed onley to find out how to edit pages so i could do my profile. I hope I did not do enything wrong...did i?

response
I recommend you just delet any thing I write that may be complete nonscense without telling me!!!!!Thing the only thing that calms me down is Saria's Song.So I am constently on the web.Will you just let me tell you it is very rude to delete what I've worked hard on.Please don't tell me that you deleted what I almost got a carpool tunnle over.-Darklinx123, 10,Febuary 8:17p.m.


 * Mandi is merely following the rules of the wiki. There is nothing personal here. We have certain standards here on Zelda Wiki (found here). Your edits simply fail to meet these standards and are not acceptable. We require a certain level of professionalism here. Any content that is not up to par with the standards is removed. That is the rules. 04:34, February 11, 2009 (UTC)

Umm
That might not have been the best edits on the Goron page. I did three =s to make subsections within each Section(game) The gametitle was serving as an overview and the intention of the subsections was to add some sanity to the massive walls of text. Now the content table looks jumbled. Let me know what you were planning, bc i think it should be reverted. 06:02, 1 March 2009 (UTC)


 * I tweaked it a bit. Now the game titles stand out more. Improving readability. 06:35, March 1, 2009 (UTC)


 * Yeah, that was my fault there, sorry about that :P 06:39, 1 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Matt, was it an oversight, or is this how you think would be best: The Trivia and References are now subsections of PH.? 06:41, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

I'm guessing that was something that I missed. This seems to be your project page. Do what you will with it. 08:14, March 1, 2009 (UTC)


 * Will do, I'm fairly new to the Goron project, we need something fresh in the featured articles rotation. Sorry to take this all up in your talk page Mandi. 17:26, 1 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Haha! Hardly a lot of space taken :P 18:00, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

Admin
Congratulations on becoming an admin. :-) 21:29, 2 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Haha! Thank you :) 21:34, 2 March 2009 (UTC)


 * :P 19:48, 3 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Congrats Mandi. I know I haven't been on lately, but I hoped you'd soon make your way up there. 17:41, 8 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks :) 07:58, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Moving Userpages
Why do normal users like me have such an ability? I understand (in certain cases) when it can be moved... but in most cases, there is no need. Looking at it reminded me of Ranny, who moved it from "User:Lord Ranny" to "Ranny". Much like the protect tab is hidden, why should the Userpages have the move tab? I understand that it is by defult, but Matt or someone can easily change that. If the user wants their username changed, moving it won't do anything but rename the page itself. An admin would have to change it. 20:20, 9 March 2009 (UTC)


 * I do not even know if those settings can be changed. Even if they could, that would take root access which only Jason has. Page moving is open to registered users on all wikis using MediaWiki software. This is because they are considered more trusted than unregistered members. And since only registered users can edit here, that deters most vandals. And the ones that do register never wait to vandalize. They do it right away. And to date only one user has ever used page moving to vandalize. And his work was undone literally within seconds. There are limitations to what a normal use can move though. Sometime when moving a page to one that already exists the software will not allow it. Sometimes it will. It seems to be completely random. Admins are given the option to delete the target page. But it definitely won't let you move say, Link to Ganon. Only to minor pages like redirects or pages that do not exist. So there is less harm done if it is miss-used. 23:31, March 12, 2009 (UTC)

Delete
Hey, I notice you're doing some deleting, so can you get rid of these. File:Mel Avi.png‎ File:Mel Sig.png‎ File:Mel's Linebeck.jpg‎

I've set it up now, so that if I want to change 'characters' I can just upload new versions. 20:09, 17 March 2009 (UTC)


 * It is done. 20:14, 17 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks. 20:19, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

Sandbox
Sorry about that. lol I thought I clicked "undo", but I guess it didn't go through. 00:49, 20 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Haha! Not a problem. ;) 01:07, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

Skype
No, I don't have Skype, but I could download it. ;) Is the chat going on right now or something? Dany36 22:41, 21 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Ah, I see. Well, I've never used Skype, so I might need some directions on how to go about it. XD Dany36 23:08, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

Hi Template
I noticed that you said that posting Alter is the correct way to do it, but I thought that was what I did. I checked the history, and it says:

07:18, April 25, 2009 Alter (Talk | contribs) m (17 bytes) (Created page with '{subst:hi|Alter}}')

What did I do wrong? Thanks. 18:58, 25 April 2009 (UTC)


 * If you check the revision history. You will see that the first edit, you typed it correctly. The second edit you changed it to the incorrect way. 19:03, 25 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Oh, I see. Ok, thanks Mandi! 19:41, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

Other Template talk
Mandi, I've noticed you've corrected my stuff ALOT. How the  thing works please? Smashbrother101 23:28, 9 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Well, I really didn't edit your work that much. Mainly placing the userboxes into categories, adding usage instruction, and on one, I believe, I edited the image size. So really, minor edits. One userbox in particular though, you forgot to add:




 * }


 * 


 * Which is placed at the bottom of the userbox coding, and centers it on the page. Without that, the userbox will be placed on the page incorrectly. 23:47, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

Battle Template
Hi Manadi, I noticed you delted the template I was working on. I know it was very bad made, but as I explained this was my first try to make template and I was working on mading it better; however if you think it's worthless I will go with your policies. I think you say that because there are really few battles, ok then, I'll expand the battles if I have time but without a template :) BenitoPerezGaldos 16:30, 18 May 2009 (UTC)


 * From what I can tell, there really aren't many battles in the series. But, if necessary, another template could be made. There are a lot of people that are skilled with creating/editing templates. 17:46, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
