Zelda Wiki talk:News 2008

Good News
It is great to have some fresh news up. This one was really needed. Could we by chance add a message saying not to use the nosource template on a new image to the system message: MediaWiki:Uploadtext? Seems like a good idea. We should also make it clearer that they can type in the templates it the summary field while uploading. Too many users don't seem to realize that. 23:13, July 5, 2008 (UTC)


 * Matt, can you edit the page. I can't seem to figure how to get the link to the Shad picture properly done. My instinct is to just do it like a standard link, but since it is an image, the actual image pops up and not a link to the image. I'm not familiar enough with the Wiki software to get this done right. Also, before I protect the page, feel free to edit it and include whatever you'd like in it that you think would better get across the idea. Once you are done, just let me know and I'll protect the page so others cannot edit it. Mases 23:18, 5 July 2008 (UTC)


 * That's about it. I linked the image like you asked and made a few corrections. If we make the news story any longer, it could make the Main Page look bad by being longer than what is on the left side. It covers the major points we want to get across. People will notice. We should make sure to edit that system message. But only bureaucrats and sysops can edit system messages. 23:31, July 5, 2008 (UTC)


 * Sounds great! Thanks for making those small edits. I'll protect the page now so nobody can edit what appears on the main page. If ever there is anything you'd like me to mention in the news section on the main page, just let me know. I'm entirely sure what you mean by the system messages. Mases 23:34, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

You mean that you're not entirely sure about system messages right? Just edit that MediaWiki page I mentioned and that will be what shows up when a user goes to Special:Upload. 23:45, July 5, 2008 (UTC)
