WOW!
Pakkun, thanks for helping us out with the translation tables, especially on the Majora's Mask page. Grueling work, I bet, but it looks great! ;) 17:39, 13 November 2010 (EST)
 * Oh, yeah. Thanks. There's more to come, though. 01:59, 14 November 2010 (EST)

Translations
Hey Pakkun,

I've noticed you've taken interest in translation work around the wiki. It's something we both have in common. Right this moment I'm working on a translation project that covers every Oracle of Ages article (with Oracle of Seasons soon to follow). You can find the translation table in my Sandbox.

Admittedly, the difference between you and I is that you actually understand Hiragana and Katakana, whereas I just get by with text dumps and translators. And since I can't find any text dumps for the Oracle games, I have to rely on a FAQ, which is great but not always reliable. As such, I fear some of the information I submit might not be accurate 100% of the time. I was wondering if maybe you could help me out with this. I won't ask you to chase me around and fix my mistakes on my translation edits, but it'd be great if you could just look over my OoA project and tell me if you see anything out of order. And if you wanted to help out by adding some translations yourself, that would be great too!

It's just an idea I'm putting out there. If you aren't interested, I completely understand. By no means should you feel like you're obliged to do anything you don't want to.

If you are interested, great! I'd love to have you on board. I could sure use your help! 10:19, 14 November 2010 (EST)
 * With sprites as well? Pretty ambitious. Of course I'll help. Though, it might be best to talk over Skype, if you have it. 19:12, 14 November 2010 (EST)


 * Great! Your help will be much appreciated. Sadly, I do not have Skype and honestly don't have much interest in trying it. :P Feel free to spam my talk page though. In case you wanted to know, you can find the FAQ I'm using here. 16:40, 16 November 2010 (EST)

Adding Japanese Names
Just wanted to let you know that we have this new template for Japanese names now that's much more manageable than Exp.

Welcome back! 19:34, 21 June 2011 (EDT)


 * Ah, okay. I'll go back and fix them then. 19:42, 21 June 2011 (EDT)

Plural Links
Hello again, Pakkun. (By now, you're probably thinking: "Ugh, what does he want this time!")

Just dropping in to let you know that when making plural links, it's preferable to leave the "s" (or whatever else it may be) out of the link (instead of pipe-linking every plural link) since MediaWiki software is capable of absorbing the "s" into the link. So for example, to get "Rupees", it's preferable to write Rupees instead of Rupees. Minor adjustments like you made in this edit are unnecessary and even unwanted; all they do is clog up the text a little. :P I don't know if that's the first time you've done that or if you've been doing that for a while; if it's the latter, you don't need to go back and fix all of them. It's not that big a deal.

Besides that you're doing great. Your contributions are much appreciated! (Though I suppose you don't need me to tell you that!) Really, I don't know how you can do such repetitive work for so long... I find it really quite admirable, actually...

Anyways, that's it! I'm done bothering you... for now... 21:07, 27 July 2011 (EDT)
 * Oh, sorry. I'll refrain from now on. 21:26, 27 July 2011 (EDT)

Private Oasis
There must be a way to emphasise the fact that the island's name changes to reflect your character's name without breaking the "rules". Maybe by simply putting in brackets something like "the actual name depends on the name entered". If it simply says "It becomes Link's Oasis" then it's unclear, and doesn't convey the facts. As I say, there must be some way to word it so it's acceptable while not being misleading. Avengah 19:16, 6 September 2011 (EDT)

Developer quotes page
Hi. I wanted to make an edit in the timeline quotes page but I'm not an autoconfirmed user yet. This is what I wanted to add in the TP section: It should be noted that the part where Aonuma refers to how much time passed between Ocarina of Time and Twilight Princess might have been mistranslated, and that he probably spoke of.

I'd like to ask you to make the edit instead! Change it as you see fit of course. Zeldafan1982 16:09, 2 October 2011 (EDT)
 * Nice find! I'm not entirely sure how it should be handled, but I added it. 17:08, 2 October 2011 (EDT)
 * Thanks! :)

| Translating help
Could you possible search the Official Skyward Sword Site? The Japanese one that is. You're the only person on this wiki that I know of who could search for the information I need. Thanks in advance. Steahl 23:03, 12 November 2011 (EST)
 * Yeah, I've been doing that for a while. What do you need? 23:25, 12 November 2011 (EST)
 * Well as we both know the Japanese website has more information than the rest and almost all the references I get are from these websites. Knowing that they are so full of information it would be nice if the wiki could get access to some information that wouldn't otherwise be accessable to the western world for a little while. I would like it if you could check the locations, features, items et cetera if possible. Sorry that the link I gave you isn't working. Oh yeah and thank you :) Steahl 00:48, 13 November 2011 (EST)
 * Right... Well, the English site is basically just a translation of what can be found on the Japanese site, so I'll just work on the Thunderhead and new Skyloft information. I'm not sure how long it will take, considering there's 7 new bits of information. The English site may even update before I'm finished, but I'll do what I can. 01:29, 13 November 2011 (EST)
 * I've translated the Thunderhead information:
 * The cloud around Thunderhead is known as . The site just says it recently appeared near Skyloft and the thick clouds make it difficult to see.
 * The island of Thunderhead itself is, apparently known as ... Apparently, this is where Hylia ("The Goddess") "left", and it seems to be housing a secret. I'm really not certain about the Goddess bit, the Japanese text says "ここは、女神が遺したと言われる島. " but that's the best I can make of it.
 * Levias is a wise Sky Spirit (not too much of a departure from "Wind Fish") who watched over the skies since ancient times and is knowledgeable about everything ("like a walking dictionary").
 * Right now, I'm thinking Thunderhead just refers to the billowing clouds and the island is actually Poetry Island. 02:41, 13 November 2011 (EST)
 * And now, the Skyloft bit...
 * Pumpkin Island is an island near Skyloft that holds the Pumpkin Bar  where Birdriders can rest and buy Pumpkin Soup . (As a side note, the Pumpkin Bar resembles an actual pumpkin and a Piece of Heart rests on top of the chandelier inside and there's a stage where Link can play the Goddess Harp for its inhabitants. The island features a pumpkin patch.)
 * Gratitude ; basically, when Link grants people's wishes by helping them in sidequests, they give him "gratitude", which look like Star Bits. From what I gather, there's a sidequest where you're supposed to help tend to a woman's brown Loftwing. And, as already revealed in a video, you help clean a woman's house using the Gust Bellows.
 * Beedle's Shop ; It's an "airship" peddled by Beedle that floats over Skyloft. It contains merchandise that cannot be found in the Skyloft Bazaar. (Link gets the Bug Catching Net here.)
 * "Skyloft at Night" ; what it's saying is that Skyloft has different features and Link can sleep in his bed either day or night.
 * So there you go. I went ahead and put some of the information into the appropriate pages. 04:37, 13 November 2011 (EST)

Thanks dude, now we have the information that Japan, thanks to you :) Steahl 09:42, 13 November 2011 (EST)
