Zelda Wiki talk:Quality Standards

Please can this page be categorized?

Theories
I have a theory. I want to post it. There does not, however, seem to be any How-Tos in posting theories and I think that this is where the How-to should go. I ask the administrator's opinion in this matter. Masterweaver 22:21, 27 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Is this what you are looking for or no? 23:39, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

Actually the very thing you just mentioned is a work in progress. We are writing up something like this for posting theories. 01:05, May 28, 2009 (UTC)


 * For now, the best thing to do is post it in the Discussion tab for the intended article, or your talk page. We'll look it over and let you know whether to add it or work on it more. I hope this is understandable, we are trying not to get overloaded with theories. 03:25, 29 May 2009 (UTC)


 * The Theory section for the Quality Standard page has now been added here. 09:41, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

Namespace
Normally, matters like standards and such are in the Project (i.e., the Zelda Wiki.org) namespace. Is there a reason it's in the main namespace here? Heimstern Läufer 01:07, 18 September 2007 (EDT)


 * To be honest, I think it was created to fill a red link, rather than having been written in advance. I've moved it now. --Adam 01:53, 18 September 2007 (EDT)
 * Cool, thanks. Heimstern Läufer 03:04, 22 September 2007 (EDT)

Changes
There are a few changes that should be made to this page. I'll dump them in the sandbox.--Matt 20:59, 15 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Alright, awesome. I only glanced through it quickly, but the only changes that I noticed were the addition of the illegal content point and the bolding of the text . Was that it? Let me know, and I'll add this in. --Ando 21:05, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

There are a few word changes. Second sentence of the stub paragraph. Last sentence of the copying articles from Wikipedia paragraph. First sentence of the citing sources paragraph. Also I suggest moving this page so that the word "standards" is capitalized. As it is, it is a little embarrassing.--Matt 21:12, 15 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Alright. I figure that the rest of the staff will be cool with this, so I'll change it now and move the page. --Ando 21:16, 15 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Okay, now we need to go through and see which pages link to the original "Quality standards" page and change the capitalization of the "S" on them; how embarrassing is it to have a bunch of stuff be redirecting on the project namespace? --Ando 21:22, 15 June 2008 (UTC)


 * You'll probably be using this anyway but just go to this. Ignore the images, those are from templates.--Matt 21:26, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

Whoa, you did that fast.--Matt 21:27, 15 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Haha. Aye, I used the whatlinkshere page. Edited the templates then the help page. It was only like, what, five edits? Many less than I expected. --Ando 21:28, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

Speaking Style
To be encyclopedic in nature, any chance we could have a written Quality Standard of not using "The Player" & "You"? 02:43, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I propose; Speaking Style; ZW strives to maintain an in-universe speaking style to articles. The most common issue is usage of "You" and "the player" when referring to a controllable character such as Link or someone/thing he controls in-game.

Clearly articles pertaining to Hacks, Glitches, Console systems, and other such removals from immersion this wouldn't be necessary. 01:52, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
