Genders vs. Pronouns
Like, really, all the character pages are adding pronouns (he/him/etc) instead of adding gender or sex, which would be a simple Male/Female/Unknown or Debatable, you go for pronouns... Why? It's unnecessary, not needed, and just unfitting for the format of the king of Wiki we have here. The ONLY kind of people who would support these are Tumblr SJW's... As in the kind that will call you worse than Hitler just for being a Straight, White, Cisgendered Male. A.K.A. The bad kind of Tumblr user. I would just like an answer, and for things to be the way they should. ScottishDrunkard (talk) 14:16, 9 August 2016 (UTC)

 * Great. I'm not a forum user, I don't like to dabble in those things. I will read, but I will not respond other than using the Zelda Wiki. ScottishDrunkard (talk) 14:28, 9 August 2016 (UTC)


 * The forum is the location for the discussion. Attempting to facilitate the discussion here instead will result in it being marked off topic. 14:30, 9 August 2016 (UTC)


 * Well, it looks like we are at odds. You know what, I have a user page. I will place my opinions there. Because on my User page nothing is off topic. ScottishDrunkard (talk) 14:34, 9 August 2016 (UTC)

 * I am not a hateful person, I respect all races, sexes, and sexual preferences, but I do hate unnecessary changes such as these pronouns instead of a much more standard "sex/gender". Also, Tony, have you ever heard of the Reddit subcommunity /r/TumblrInAction? They sure are up in arms about this change. That's how I got here. ScottishDrunkard (talk) 14:47, 9 August 2016 (UTC)


 * How can we voice our opinions in the forums when the thread is locked? :^) 09:34, 10 August 2016 (UTC)


 * You can't. :^) 11:12, 10 August 2016 (UTC)


 * You know, when you put it like that you look like the farthest thing from a rational person. ScottishDrunkard (talk) 12:17, 10 August 2016 (UTC)

Gamepedia Merge
Im glad the zelda wiki now joins the most reputable site for game wikis. I just bought the official guide and Im ready to contrivute to botw. --Leonord curse (talk) 08:56, 10 March 2017 (UTC)


 * No no no and no! The merge of ZeldaWiki with Gamepedia stripped me of my identity! My name was SilentResident! How dare! After the merge, Gamepedia didn't allow me my most invaluable name and forced me to choose a different name! I am not Silentresidentwiki, I am SilentResident! Only SilentResident and nothing else! -_- This is my name anywhere, be it Zelda Wiki, be it Mario Wiki, be it Wikipedia, be it X-Files Wiki. I am SilentResident and now you killed me with this merge! How they dare, this was my identity, I had it forever, and they stripped it of me just like that! I am deeply disturbed with the new developments hurting devoted Zelda wiki users such as me. How can one be expected to continue contributing to a Wiki project which offends its own member??? I submitted a ticket to GamePedia to have my username unlocked but I honestly doubt they will do anything at all. Damn it, they stripped me of my identity name! --Silentresidentwiki (talk) 19:46, 10 March 2017 (UTC) —Edited at 13:05, 11 March 2017 (UTC)


 * Thankfully after my pleas to Gamepedia, they looked thoroughly into my issue and gave me back my name! However, I am sorry for my emotional outburst and I am very relieved this is over, and I hope that such a thing doesn't happen on fellow Wikipedians. Hope everything goes smoother for the other Wikipedians than it did for me! Again my apologies for the above message. Have a good day. --SilentResident (talk) 13:07, 11 March 2017 (UTC)

Spin-Offs: Section
I feel at this point Hyrule Warriors should probably have its own section within the spin-offs category on the front page, like the Tingle, BSX and CD-i games. It's 3 games already and kinda its own sub series. I'd do it but, you know, front page is locked. &mdash; ZeroELEC (talk) 18:00, 19 May 2018 (UTC)


 * Personally, I disagree. Hyrule Warriors isn't a sub-series, it's a single game with 2 ports that added new content. It doesn't really deserve a separate section. 18:49, 19 May 2018 (UTC)


 * Thing is, we still list all the games as separate icons in the main page within the "Spin-Offs" section. Half of the uncategorised games there are Hyrule Warriors games. While they may not be a sub-series, they could easily be grouped together, especially now that there's 3 releases there. &mdash; ZeroELEC (talk) 19:43, 19 May 2018 (UTC)


 * We list all remakes (or expanded ports) separately to the game they are a remake of. Half of the uncategorized games were releases of Hyrule Warriors before we added the Definitive Edition as well (granted, we should've added My Nintendo Picross: Twilight Princess before that). I don't see why either of those justifies creating a separate group for one game, even if it has 3 releases listed. 16:24, 22 May 2018 (UTC)
