Why?
Why did you revert my last edition on the sacred realm page? I have passed almost all the Zelda games in Spanish (Spain) and I can't remember the name Region Sagrada. It's called Tierra Dorada (Golden Land) or Reino Sagrado(Sacred Realm), but never Region Sagrada.SilverArcher 14:03, 1 April 2011 (EDT)


 * Correct me if I'm wrong here, but the only Zelda games ever to mention the Sacred Realm were A Link to the Past, Ocarina of Time, and Twilight Princess, and this last one was the only one of the three to be translated into Spanish. According to this text dump, the Spanish (Spain) version indeed refers to the Sacred Realm as "Region Sagrada". Do you remember where exactly you saw it referred to as "Tierra Dorada" or "Region Sagrada"? I would agree that these two would make more sense, but we have to list what is stated canonically. 16:56, 1 April 2011 (EDT)


 * OK, I didn't pass Twilight, but I don't have time to read that text. Also, it's possible that text isn't about the restibg place of the Triforce, it could be about the regions of Farone, Lanayru...
 * And the remake of A Link to the Past also states that is Reino Sagrado. And its older, so I think its a little more canonical.
 * Anyway, I will try to check that text dump. The last thing I want is put a false quote.SilverArcher 17:12, 1 April 2011 (EDT)


 * Hm, I was unaware that A Link to the Past was translated to Spanish. Since this is the case, then there's no problem; it's simply a matter of putting all three and specifying which game it applies to. Sorry for the misunderstanding. 17:44, 1 April 2011 (EDT)

Just FYI
Just to let you know, I have personally accessed the area above the graveyard using the hookshot/longshot (longshot if I need to be specific). I did this on the original gold case cartridge, first version of Ocarina of Time, maybe they have prevented this in newer versions (I'm sure they never intended for people to get in with the longshot). Anyway, it is possible to access the Shadow Temple this way and is absolutely not a "false statement". You should try it on the original version (or maybe it can still be done in newer ones?) I'm surprised a bit that this trick isn't better known that a wiki editor would remove it. Shadowsheik 14:30, 4 April 2011 (EDT)shadowsheik


 * I try to keep my edit summaries as brief as possible, so if it came off as rude or offended you in any way, I assure you it was not my intention. I did try to make sure I was certain it wasn't possible (yes, I did try it on the 1.0 version with no success) before reverting your edit; there was nothing that indicated it was possible. Research did not bring anything up, so if it's possible it certainly isn't very well known.


 * As I have said, I've tested it out myself with no success, even on the 1.0 version. I even asked some of the administrators and they said that, although they've seen the Shadow Temple being reached through certain glitches, they've never heard of it being possible to do so with the Hookshot. I'm really not seeing what could be "hookshotted" onto (for lack of a better term), other than the fence separating the graveyard from the temple entrance, and that doesn't seem to work. Perhaps your particular game is glitched? Are you certain you're not mistaken? Would it be possible for you to prove it (via a recording or whatever)? I hate to ask you all this, but I hope you understand that I do so entirely with the well-being of the Wiki in mind.


 * Welcome to the Wiki, by the way. I hope this little issue doesn't prevent you from making contributions in the future. ;) 19:05, 4 April 2011 (EDT)


 * Hmmm, well, I can't be the only one who's done this, can I? Yes, I did hookshot the fence, it did take me a while; I discovered it because I was exploring and saw the fence and that it lead somewhere (this was before I had reached the Shadow Temple) and simply attempted to access it repeatedly and was finally successful. I figured out later in the game I shouldn't have gotten there that way :/ I have repeated it too, but it's not a 100% thing I guess, determination would be key.


 * I have no way of proving it, I wouldn't know how to record myself playing on my N64 and if it is a glitch unique to my cartridge then it wouldn't be successful on an emulator. Besides, I'm out of the country for school and I don't have my console even if there were a way :(


 * I don't think I've been deterred, I enjoy reading the wiki, I'm sure I can contribute plenty to canonical and non-canonical material alike, being as old as the franchise, I've had plenty of time to think about these things:)Shadowsheik 22:46, 9 April 2011 (EDT)


 * Well that's a shame. I honestly haven't heard of anyone else doing that. Until someone can confirm that it wasn't just a glitch on your cartridge, I think we'll have to leave it out.


 * I'm glad to hear this hasn't deterred you. I didn't want you getting the impression that every single contribution you would make would be as heavily contested as this one. I was afraid I had scared you away from the Wiki! Anyways, no hard feelings, I hope. See you around the Wiki! 07:13, 10 April 2011 (EDT)

A nomination question.

 * Inquire to my question of the Featured Article section, as one of the main rules applies, saying ten users must agree to nomination of an article, which of mine being the Sheikah, how in fact do you get ten users to agree to such? Or do you post your nomination of the article then the users approve or disapprove of it? I'm pretty much basically confused onto that point, any answers...? If not, that's fine, bro! Thanks for in advance either way. Hylian Historic  05:31, 30 May 2011 (UTC)


 * First you post the article on the Featured Article Nomination page, then the people vote. When nominating an article, try to copy the same formatting as everyone else. This means you first have a right-aligned image, then small comment about the page, and finally the vote templates. If you have any more questions, don't hesitate to ask. 04:52, 30 May 2011 (EDT)


 * Uh, yeah, what he said.
 * It's fully your decision, but I'd think twice about nominating an article like Sheikah, given that it reads mostly like a story. Although it may make for a nice read, it's not the kind of content that's appropriate for an encyclopedia; it's something we're trying to fix (hence the Story template). As you can see with the Great Flood nomination, articles with "Chrissues" (articles written by the user Christopher, who was responsible for many important articles at ZW, but was notorious for his story-telling style) usually don't go over fairly well. Nominate it if you want, but expect some people to be strongly opposed to it. I might even vote against it. ;) 06:22, 30 May 2011 (EDT)

Perhaps your best suited for helping with this
I can't get to my user page or any user page so fat it keeps saying that it is missing some file or no such file exists I don't know if you have come across it or would know who to go to about thisTheif 1 01:32, 30 May 2011 (EDT)


 * It's a bug, bud. No worry at all, just a little mix up, y'know? Plus this kind of caught my eye, so I decided to just give you a heads up. Hylian Historic  06:09, 30 May 2011


 * Ok I just hope it gets fixed soon it is kinda a hassle I can't even try and work more on my page Theif 1 02:23, 30 May 2011 (EDT)


 * Hope you don't mind, Thief, but I made a minor fix to your post so it doesn't show in source code mode =). -- 02:33, 30 May 2011 (EDT)
 * OK wasn't sure how to not get that but still not have it look like it is part of the original post Theif 1 02:38, 30 May 2011 (EDT)
 * No problem. =) Now let's wait until HK comes back so he doesn't get shocked with the cascade of posts we're doing here =P -- 02:46, 30 May 2011 (EDT)

We're in the middle of moving to a faster server, which you can read about on the Main Page. Unfortunately, some files required to view userpages was removed from this server. Everything should be back up within a day or two, though. If you really can't wait, you can view your user pages by editing them. The links for editing are as follows: [/index.php?title=User:Theif_1&action=edit Theif 1] and [/index.php?title=User:Hylian_Historic&action=edit Hylian Historic].

We're sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused. If you're still experiencing any problems, don't hesitate to ask on this page or any other staff member's talk page. 04:35, 30 May 2011 (EDT)


 * Oh I know it's just a bug or glitch, I'm not worried about my page at all, really. xD;; Hylian Historic 08:41, 30 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Erm... Well then. Problem solved. Glad I could be of use. :P 06:24, 30 May 2011 (EDT)

Thanks
While I'm at it, I have a few questions: 1. The Wiki has been acting funny from the last day, and I was unable to access it. Now that I can access it, I can't access User Pages. If this is a known issue, then I was just wondering what's wrong.

2. A few of the featured pictures of this site are increased in size than the original picture, or so I think, so I was thinking if I should do something with them, or is it discouraged.

For example: This is a Featured Picture in this Wiki: http://www.zeldawiki.org/images/archive/8/84/20100504011622!Link_and_Boss_Key.png This is an option for replacing the above image: http://www.zeldaeurope.de/galerie/albums/gallery/Z9/Illus/z12_02_big.jpg

While the above image is 900x900 and the one below is 600x600, I think the second one is the original. Also, notice the details on the walls and everything else of the lower one, while the above one looks like its walls and everything else are blurred.

Just had these questions in mind. And once again, thanks for the comment. --Max 12 22:43, 19 June 2011 (EDT)


 * No problem. To answer your questions:


 * 1. The Wiki is having issues due to a recent server move. The problem should (hopefully) be fixed shortly. In the meantime, if you wish to edit your userpage you can do so my manually inserting the URL. This is yours.


 * 2. Well, usually, the bigger the image the better, so long as the quality is retained. The Zelda Europe one is definitely better though. Go for it. I would recommend saving that image as a PNG and uploading it as a newer version of the existing file instead of uploading a new file.


 * Speaking of file extensions... it's been a couple images new that you've uploaded with uppercase file extensions (.PNG instead of .png). For the sake of consistency, all images should be uploaded with lowercase file extensions. But don't worry too much about it, an admin will take care of the couple uppercase PNGs you uploaded... eventually. :P


 * If ever you have any other questions, don't hesitate to ask me or any other members of the ZW Staff. We'd be glad to help! I'd also recommend that you give the Help Guide a read if you haven't already. The Quality Standards section is especially useful for learning the ways of the Wiki. 14:14, 20 June 2011 (EDT)

FPTRR
Hey, I noticed that you're updating things for Freshly Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland, too! I got it last week, and have been adding new items as I cam across them since around Lon Lon Meadow. I just wanted to say thanks for updating the page too, and wondered if you've already beaten it or are still playing like me. :3 Tigerstripesk8 19:39, 20 June 2011 (EDT)


 * Actually, everything I've done so far has been thanks to Strategy Wiki... I do plan on playing the game some time in the near future, though. It looks really fun! 20:07, 20 June 2011 (EDT)


 * Oh, I've been using that as a guide, it's not always reliable. And it never has images, a lot of my contributions are requested images. If you do happen to get FPTRR, I highly recommend using desmume or some other emulator to run it on your PC, so you can get great screenshots (That's how I've been doing it). I already passed the Death Bug Chrysalis, and I just can not be arsed to go back and do the whole first continent and then some over again to get that picture. If you happen to get that, 'twould be epic win.


 * When you start playing, feel free to ask me for hints/help if needed. I'll keep working on pictures and updates for the wiki in the mean time.


 * P.S. The items page says it's under construction- are you actually working on it or did you just leave the edit page open? Because I'd like to add some items I got pictures of earlier. Tigerstripesk8 23:08, 20 June 2011 (EDT)
