No problem, just wanted to ive a little hi. If you ever need help or anything, I'm here. Some other good people that are helpful are Ando and Matt. 15:33, 13 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Sure I could help! First, we have to know if your picture is o the wiki or if you want to get it on the wiki, skip to the word "now". Otherwise, to get you picture on the wiki, look at the bottom of the sidebar. There is a box called "toolbox". It has helpful links. One of the links say "Upload file". Click that one. If you can't find it, Here's a link. Click "browse", and find the area on your computer where the picture is. Once you find the file, double click it. Then, in the box named "Summary", type: (considering it's a Zelda picture) then . You see the part that says "Site URL"? If you found it on a site that is not part of our collaboration (The part of the sidebar that says "the masterminds" are all the sites that are part of our collaboration) put a link to the site in that box, and the name of the site in the part that says "Site Name". So if it came from, say, Zelda.com, you would type  (Do NOT forget the "http://"). If, however, the image came from one of the sites in out collaboration, you would type  . The same things for the "FoundImage" piece of code apply here, except the box that pops up would say that it is from a site in the Zelda Wiki.org collaboration. If, however, you made the image yourself, you would just type.
 * Next, now that we got that down, we add it to the Featured Pictures. First, go to the Main Page, click on the text that says "Have you voted for the next Featured Picture yet?" or just type into the search box Zelda Wiki:Featured Picture Nomination (Or just click on that direct link). The next thing to do is click on the tab at the top of the page that says "edit". Or, you can click on this. Now, scroll down to the text that says "

". Above that, but under the text saying " ", type out something looking like this:

Picture Name
Picture Description --~


 * Now, for "Picture name, type what the picture is. If it's Twilight Igniter Fyrus, type that. If it's Hyrule Castle, type that. For the line under it, you type something like fyrus.jpg or thumb|200px . It's the name of the file uploaded earlier. Then for picture description, you describe the picture, you type --~ so you sign the post, then the support and oppose parts will make the places where votes are signed. Here's what it should look like using Shad.png as an example:

Shad
A picture of Shad. He is one of the important characters in TP, so let's feature him! -- 21:47, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

And that's all there is too it! if you need any more help, feel free to ask. I also see that this is causing the page to act freaky. I'll try to fix that, but you can look at the edit part to help you understand this. 21:47, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

'Sup
I've been here since January of this year. Started off with making the Link's Crossbow Training article into what it is today. :D All in all, yeah, this is a great site. I have loads of fun here - sure, mod work can get dull sometimes, but it's like being a policeman. For the internet. P.S. You should probably start signing your posts like this: ~, not like this: ~The Sage of Cosmos~.  ~ makes this: Ando (talk) 04:00, 17 September 2008 (UTC)  ~Ando~ would make this: Ando (talk) 04:00, 17 September 2008 (UTC)AndoAndo (talk) 04:00, 17 September 2008 (UTC) You see where it gets messy. :P 04:00, 17 September 2008 (UTC)


 * You? Annoying? Hardly. "Hey, I want to make the Wiki awesome, shall you join me?" is exactly what we're about here in crazy-land. So yeah, if you wanna partner up and work on the sages article, sure. Have any initial ideas in mind? (Perhaps we should move this discussion to the Sage discussion page or maybe even over email.) 06:39, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

hi The Sage of Cosmos (talk) 20:51, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

Hi template
What... exactly are you trying to do? Use the hi template? If so, just type this: USERNAME, and just replace USERNAME with your name. 21:06, 25 October 2008 (UTC) P.S. Please to be using the Sandbox if you want to test something out. ;)

What did I do?
Can sombody help me? I really don't know what the hell I did! I think I screwed everything up to high heaven But then again I don't know!!? 16:39, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

Sig
Okay, I fixed it. All you have to do is type   into the signature box at my preferences. Make sure that the raw signatures box is checked. Then save. 17:48, November 8, 2008 (UTC)


 * Do you have it typed in exactly like above? Just copy and paste if you have to. 18:20, November 8, 2008 (UTC)


 * let me see now 18:24, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

It works on the sandbox, why isn't it working here? and yes it is typed exactly, spaces and everything. 18:26, 8 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Ohh... it looks like you've got the wrong slash. You've got \ where it should be /. 18:30, November 8, 2008 (UTC)


 * I've been having problems with my sig too, it seems to reset it self every time I log in to just my user name, rather than my sig.


 * Okey, thank you let's try it now. I'm not saying it works, last time I said that it didn't. 18:38, 8 November 2008 (UTC)


 * It looks like you didn't place User: in front of your username. 18:43, 8 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Let's see, how many tildes am I supposed to use 18:50, 8 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Okey that looks a little better, someone give me the code for the talk page 18:52, 8 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Ah. No, it is supposed to do that when you are talking on your own talk page. It looks like it is working great now. 18:57, November 8, 2008 (UTC)

Userbox
You go to another userbox. And then copy its code. Then you replace everything in it with what you want. Just be careful what you replace. I've got an Irish flag picture on my PC if you need it. Just ask and I'll upload. 23:28, November 8, 2008 (UTC)

Check! Thanks man :) 23:31, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

Hey,Um......So how do you do a userbox template thing? User:MacTaylor

Wiki
What browser are you using? Firefox or Internet Explorer? That will help determine the problem. 00:55, November 9, 2008 (UTC)


 * Iternet Explorer, I wish I used Firefox 00:57, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Try going to View→Text Size→Medium. Firefox isn't that hard to install. Fairly simple really. Most of the setup is automatic. 01:03, November 9, 2008 (UTC)

If it's just my computer, don't worry about it. As long as it's not the wiki :D I have to get off here someone wants to use the phone. I'll be back on later though :) -- 01:06, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

New Users
Many of the new users are from Zelda Universe. Melchizedek, Jason, and I developed a banner over there that signifies that that member has made many contributions over here (1000 edits). So it would be good to welcome them. If you see someone without a talk page in the recent changes, then go to their contributions. Then at the very top of the page should be something that says "logs". Click on that, and if there are logs, check the very first one. If it is a user creation log and it is recent, then welcome them. Also if you see "new user" in the recent changes, then welcome them. No one puts that in the edit summaries. It only happens with a user creation log. 23:44, November 12, 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks Matt. It's good that we're getting new members, "the more the merrier" right? :D By the way, My computer is fixed. That means I'll be on more (you guys will probally block me now :) But my e-mail will be fixed. Hopefully I'll be up and running again. 03:09, 13 November 2008 (UTC)


 * We can't block people unless they break the rules. 03:42, November 13, 2008 (UTC)

Well, I don't intend to do that. I was just making a point that I was annoying. Matt are you on regular Wiki? What about Ando? If you are, what are your pennames. 03:48, 13 November 2008 (UTC)


 * That last one was a vandal. 13:44, November 13, 2008 (UTC)


 * Who was a vandal?

LizardRay. 13:49, November 13, 2008 (UTC)

When did he vandal? Oh, so you mean I sent a "hello" to a vandal. "Hey welcome to Zelda Wiki.org! I hope you vandalize us!" 13:53, 13 November 2008 (UTC)


 * How can you tell when a user is a vandal? 14:03, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

If they do evil things, insert nonsense, delete stuff. Like this. 17:17, November 13, 2008 (UTC)


 * Wh...What?! Why would they even bother? That was stupid, how immature do they get? What else did he do? 17:55, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

thats just wrong, this is a website people worked hard to make and people like him come and ruin it! was he caught and kicked out!? -Calibure

Vote
You only get one vote a month for a featured picture and one for an article. You made one before during this month here. If you want help remembering your votes, then there are reminder templates for articles and pictures. 16:35, November 19, 2008 (UTC)


 * Crap! I didn't know that. Are they undone? I didn't mess anything up did I? 23:37, 19 November 2008 (UTC)


 * They undone. Nothing is messed up. 23:47, November 19, 2008 (UTC)


 * Maybe I should quit. I think the more I'm on here, the more trouble I cause you guys. I don't do to much anyhow. Just sorta talk and get in the way. 00:24, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

Would anyone be opposed to me putting up a featured picture? 01:55, 20 November 2008 (UTC)


 * As long as there are not already six up. Then you could. 02:04, November 20, 2008 (UTC)


 * Wow! This place sure isn't busy. I can see my edits from last night, nice and calm. Wikipedia is like totally insane, you ask a question and byt the time you click recent changes, there are already twenty in front of you. 19:36, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

Experience
Well, I had a rather interesting experience. It's so stupid that I don't even know why I mentioning it but, it's one of those things that somehow I didn't think was possible. Anyway...It's a long story but, there were a few things that needed stored in our woods.....Me being lazy, I decided to load them on the back of a quad and drive them down (it's a pretty long walk, and it's snowing so the ground is slippery). That was exactly what I did, was on my way, and going down a very icy hill. It was dark and snowing so visibility wasn't great, I couldn't really see though because I had fogotten my glasses. So I'm going down the hill (pretty fast) when this thing jumps, no not in front of me, into me (actually it hit the front of the quad, which was about three inches from my hand, so yes, it hit me). I didn't know what it was, so I cut the wheels in the opposite direction (wow! Smart move, going down a hill on ice and you cut the wheels...good one). As I'm sure you guessed, that little stunt totally threw me off the seat and sent me for a nice little ride...er..roll down the hill. The back of my head hit the ground so I-kinda-blacked-out-for-a-second-and-missed-what-actually-hit-me :/ My family, who seen all of this, said it was a deer. I find this to somehow be funny, I mean yeah, it scared the crap out of me, but I have a morbid sense of humor so....Anybody else ever do anything stupid like that? Do tell ;) 03:36, 26 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Not that I can remember. But my dad did. He and I went into a very muddy field to lay out bug traps. I had boots. He had sandals. We never saw those sandals ever again. 06:01, November 26, 2008 (UTC)

well not me but my brother, he was hoggin a big bouncy ball and i mean BIG as in the size of a small chair! anyway he started showing off, then said "bet you can't catch me, he turn to run but hit into a lampost or atleast would have if he didn't have this big ball in his hands, so instead he bounced back about a meter, it was hilarious! i have other stories but there long and more importantly about me.

Here is my present!wolf link 825


testing something out. 05:25, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

Favorite Game? Why I don't like Twilight Princess
I have to say,WHATS THE BIG DEAL WITH TP? Sure,it has good graphics,but the items are so boring it does not even feel like a zelda game.My favorite zelda game is and will always be The Wind Waker.Sereously,it's like everyones favorite game.The only thing good about it is that link is a wolf


 * Well, I'm not the Sage, but perhaps I can answer your question.


 * I enjoy TP simply because it is a fun adventure (sumo wrestling excluded). I have to say, I don't know what you mean when you say items are "boring". I never found them boring, I found them all to be very fun.


 * One reason I suppose TP is rated above The Wind Waker is because of all the sailing and treasure hunting in Wind Waker. I didn't find this annoying, but I hear that a lot of other people did. The fact is, everyone I know (in person) hates Wind Waker, and loves Twilight Princess. Why? Graphics. That's it, over and over. I'm the only one who likes Wind Waker... --Felicia&#39;s Champion 23:08, 8 December 2008 (UTC)


 * I have to say, Ocarina of Time was the best Zelda game. I think with Twilight Princess Nintendo was trying to top OoT. Weather they did or not would depend on your opinion.

TW and OoT are probably my favorite games, along with; Majora's Mask and the Legend of Zelda. The said games are pretty much just classics from my point of view. Twilight Princess though, I actually found to be interesting and fun. The Boss' were AWESOME...Especially City in the Sky. Dragons are cool :) 19:04, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

i didn't think twilight Princess was boring and the same with wind waker i thought the graghics suited the game (TP link sailing huge sea, NO WAY) and i think both were very good although some thing i liked more than others: twilight princess bates and wind wakers sailing and the more freedom to do what you want. -Calibure

The Tetraforce
Im having a survey.Do you think there should be a game on the teatraforce?See the results on my talk page.Wolf link 825 16:49, 19 December 2008 (UTC)


 * I dunno. It might be cool if there was but, I don't think Nintendo is going to make a game about something that really isn't that popular.....But, it would be sorta cool if there was :P 18:42, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

New Messages?
I don't know if anyone else has had this problem but, every time I log onto Anthony's user page, I get the You have new messages. Strange thing is that when I click the link...I get Wikipedia? Anybody know why


 * Oh! Forgot something. I have no new messages. It only appears on this guy's user page. 01:55, 28 December 2008 (UTC)


 * YES. THAT JERK*. DRIVES ME NUTS. 02:08, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
 * *I'm kidding, I'm kidding! You're a welcome new member, Anthony! ;)


 * I think it is a little funny. Not the first place I've seen something like that though. 02:36, December 28, 2008 (UTC)


 * Oh..So that's a joke. I guess it is sort of funny ;)-- 08:11, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
 * "I have no new messages." I meant, I do not have any new messages.

Database Error
I tried to log onto my user page, I was unable. I ended up with "Database error." I tried about ten other user pages just for the heck of it, but I get the same thing. Talk pages are fine, Is there a problem with the syntax? -- 22:55, 30 December 2008 (UTC)


 * That is being dealt with now. That and many other issues. 23:02, December 30, 2008 (UTC)


 * The server crashed big time last night. There are a bunch of things that need fixing. 23:07, December 30, 2008 (UTC)


 * Ah...Server crash...Fun times. 05:00, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
