User talk:Emma


 * Hi! I'm Matt — one of your local sysops. If you have a question for me, ask it here. I like to keep conversations in one place. If you ask a question here, I will respond here. If I tell or ask you something on another page, please respond on that page! . Trust me, I'll be able to see that you responded just fine. In fact, it is actually fairly hard for me not to notice as I put those pages in my watch list.
 * Note: The above notice displays as a rectangle in most browsers. But in Firefox it has smooth, rounded edges, as shown here.

How to Lock Pages
I hate vandalism. How do you lock others from editing your user page, like you have? --The Keeper of Majora&#39;s Mask 23:19, 3 March 2009 (UTC)


 * It is not exactly a lock. It is more of a trick. Clever programming. It is not exactly easy to explain. For now you will not need it. Unless you really want it. We will not allow people to vandalize your page, or any other page. Any that to are punished. 23:33, March 3, 2009 (UTC)

Leaving For A Bit
I will not beable to post on Zelda Universe, Zelda Wiki, and the internet itself for a little bit. So, if you have any ideas of me ditching ZW, please remember this. I have not been active as I usually am latly. But, I wanted to tell you this now so you will know, and not try to delete my account, or something. I'll be back in a few weeks or so, but... keep editing! :P 19:32, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Something similar has happened to me, and I hope to be back no later than April. 15:52, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

Hmm?
How come I put something in this wiki, and then someone has to either erase it, or change it????


 * 1.) Sign your post like this:




 * That will take care of everything. It is all you need to sign.


 * 2.) If an edit is reverted or altered, that means it is not up to our quality standards, or is complete nonsense. 00:47, 13 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Mandi basically said it. Just remember that no one here is "out to get you". We have a core team of sysops and patrollers that monitor the wiki and look at every edit. We make sure that everything added is of quality. If it is not and we think it just cannot be improved, we remove it. Make sure are aware of what it says at the bottom of a page when editing:
 * "If you do not want your writing to be edited mercilessly and redistributed at will, then do not submit it here."
 * Also be aware of all of our quality standards. Always check your work for accuracy, typos, etc. before submitting it. 04:42, February 13, 2009 (UTC)


 * Yup yup. Every piece of information added is checked against our notability standards (which, granted, they're not written-and-set-in-stone quality standards, but anyone who's been around the wiki a while typically gets pretty good at determining whether or not something is notable for the wiki) by the person who checks the edit. I mean, something like "Link has 5 fingers" doesn't exactly seem notable enough to include in his article, right? So that could be a factor.
 * Another factor might be redundancy -- sometimes people add information that's already been stated within the article. It happens quite often. So someone may have noticed that and then decides to remove the redundant information.
 * So yeah, following Matt's tips there (always checking your work before submitting) along with maybe spending a bit just browsing and checking out some of the better articles and getting used to the general wiki standards (it's what I did before I started editing, anyway) will definitely help in allowing you to have edits that are much less likely to be undone or reverted. 07:15, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

Yes sir. I just liked how the symbol looks, but I will find another one to use :) By the way, is this how we're supposed to respond to talk page things?  Or do I edit my talk page/your talk page?  Right now I'm using the little plus by the edit button.   05:23, 1 March 2009 (UTC)


 * I'd just click the edit button. And as it says at the top of this page I prefer to keep it all in one place. 05:39, March 1, 2009 (UTC)


 * I'm sorry I'm failing so much to read. I see it now.  Anyways, that's all on that.  06:07, 1 March 2009 (UTC)


 * I'm still glad you like the symbol. That means I did a good job on it. But it is sort of my avatar. I'm known for it. I would rather not have confusion. 07:47, March 1, 2009 (UTC)

Templates
Where did you get the Template for "Fan of Spiritual Stone"? Thanks.


 * Well, if you would like to use that particular template, you just type: . Aside from that, the list of userboxes can be found here ;) 22:55, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

Help Guide - Theories
I've noticed this morning more and more people are wanting to know if their theory can be put on the page. It's made me think that a Help Page on Theory Standards would be a good idea, to refer people there. 19:59, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

'You' Epidemic
Many pages have the word 'you' instead of 'Link', or the character. We need to stop this before it spreads throughout the entire Wiki. Wait, it already has! Grab your mouse, and powercord... this will be a long day. :P 16:51, 7 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Well, isn't it kinda sad that mostly everything on this wiki is written as if it really did happen in history, or like a story book or something...? RupeeLord 17:32, 7 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Yeah. Writing articles in second person perspective is really not recommended. So replacing "you" with "Link" is a good idea. 21:30, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

RupeeLord: that is called in-universe style. It is how it is supposed to be. 22:14, March 7, 2009 (UTC)

Search By Date
I could of sworn there was a way to search pages by date of last edit, or something like that. I went to Google, all of the options I can reach with this account, and Media Wiki itself but found nothing. I think I might of done it once, but I don't know. 19:51, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

I'm back (again)
If you do remember me, it would be a miracle (I changed my sig but if you can read katakana, you should be fine) I'm back to haunt help ZW. I'm also here to find help with my dilema (I did find a Zelda "_______" name, but the name is taken on webs.com and I can't afford a domain yet so currently I can't create it. The website of the same name hasn't even been updated for years. At least what I can tell). Anyway, I don't think I can contribute much so I will probably only be a WikiGnome... *puts on cap* 20:19, 17 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Yeah. I remember. I actually made my own site in the time since. It is just a forum now. But perhaps one day I'll get my own domain and it will be bigger. The site is The Triforce . It is still not quite done. A lot of work left to do. 20:38, March 17, 2009 (UTC)
 * Cool. I hope you have luck with it! A bold approach going the forum route. I'm just going to do some news and game coverage and maybe have a proboards forum to entertain the fans (all 1 of them XD). Maybe you could help me deciding a name for my website (I have the name, just the "www" part). Because I don't want it stolen, I put the name on my User Page. If you think it needs a different name, we can work on it. 21:00, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Sorry for double-posting. Although the name I would like is taken, I can settle for a hyphen in it. I'll set it up later and 'open' it sometime soon. It's best to get this done before news of Spirit Tracks develops more. 03:07, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

Protecting Important Achive Pages
Important achives pages like this one should be protected to insure that nothing new is added. Even if nothing new is added, why leave it open to edit? I say that admins should protect such pages. You protected pages like this one, so it should not be any different. 04:13, 5 April 2009 (UTC)


 * The template thing should work out. We will look into protecting this page. 02:37, April 7, 2009 (UTC)

News
New zelda game  Source:Hyrule.net  there's also a Youtube vid


 * This is old news. We already have it mentioned on the main page and an article on it, Spirit Tracks. 07:02, April 7, 2009 (UTC)

Um... sure lets go with that RupeeLord 04:58, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

Featured Picture nomination
Hi Matt. I'd suggest that maybe you should withdraw your nomination of the Morpheel picture; it's been up for around 5 months and doesn't look likely to succeed any time soon... 08:32, 18 April 2009 (UTC)


 * No. All voting has slowed down considerably. If we start pulling things just because it is going slow we'll never get something new in again. Besides, six people were interested in it. That's not bad. 17:55, April 18, 2009 (UTC)

Participaton
I want to help edit this site, but I'm fairly new to the Wiki-community and all the pages I visit have nothing to edit.

Could you tell me what to do?

-Wolf O'donnell


 * Everyone was new once. Start by going here. Read up on some things there. You can try some things in the sandbox. The guides are extensive. But there are likely things missing here and there. You can ask me, or any of the active admins listed here, for more help. 00:31, May 14, 2009 (UTC)
