WOW!
Pakkun, thanks for helping us out with the translation tables, especially on the Majora's Mask page. Grueling work, I bet, but it looks great! ;) 17:39, 13 November 2010 (EST)
 * Oh, yeah. Thanks. There's more to come, though. 01:59, 14 November 2010 (EST)

Translations
Hey Pakkun,

I've noticed you've taken interest in translation work around the wiki. It's something we both have in common. Right this moment I'm working on a translation project that covers every Oracle of Ages article (with Oracle of Seasons soon to follow). You can find the translation table in my Sandbox.

Admittedly, the difference between you and I is that you actually understand Hiragana and Katakana, whereas I just get by with text dumps and translators. And since I can't find any text dumps for the Oracle games, I have to rely on a FAQ, which is great but not always reliable. As such, I fear some of the information I submit might not be accurate 100% of the time. I was wondering if maybe you could help me out with this. I won't ask you to chase me around and fix my mistakes on my translation edits, but it'd be great if you could just look over my OoA project and tell me if you see anything out of order. And if you wanted to help out by adding some translations yourself, that would be great too!

It's just an idea I'm putting out there. If you aren't interested, I completely understand. By no means should you feel like you're obliged to do anything you don't want to.

If you are interested, great! I'd love to have you on board. I could sure use your help! 10:19, 14 November 2010 (EST)
 * With sprites as well? Pretty ambitious. Of course I'll help. Though, it might be best to talk over Skype, if you have it. 19:12, 14 November 2010 (EST)


 * Great! Your help will be much appreciated. Sadly, I do not have Skype and honestly don't have much interest in trying it. :P Feel free to spam my talk page though. In case you wanted to know, you can find the FAQ I'm using here. 16:40, 16 November 2010 (EST)

Adding Japanese Names
Just wanted to let you know that we have this new template for Japanese names now that's much more manageable than Exp.

Welcome back! 19:34, 21 June 2011 (EDT)


 * Ah, okay. I'll go back and fix them then. 19:42, 21 June 2011 (EDT)

Plural Links
Hello again, Pakkun. (By now, you're probably thinking: "Ugh, what does he want this time!")

Just dropping in to let you know that when making plural links, it's preferable to leave the "s" (or whatever else it may be) out of the link (instead of pipe-linking every plural link) since MediaWiki software is capable of absorbing the "s" into the link. So for example, to get "Rupees", it's preferable to write Rupees instead of Rupees. Minor adjustments like you made in this edit are unnecessary and even unwanted; all they do is clog up the text a little. :P I don't know if that's the first time you've done that or if you've been doing that for a while; if it's the latter, you don't need to go back and fix all of them. It's not that big a deal.

Besides that you're doing great. Your contributions are much appreciated! (Though I suppose you don't need me to tell you that!) Really, I don't know how you can do such repetitive work for so long... I find it really quite admirable, actually...

Anyways, that's it! I'm done bothering you... for now... 21:07, 27 July 2011 (EDT)
 * Oh, sorry. I'll refrain from now on. 21:26, 27 July 2011 (EDT)

Private Oasis
There must be a way to emphasise the fact that the island's name changes to reflect your character's name without breaking the "rules". Maybe by simply putting in brackets something like "the actual name depends on the name entered". If it simply says "It becomes Link's Oasis" then it's unclear, and doesn't convey the facts. As I say, there must be some way to word it so it's acceptable while not being misleading. Avengah 19:16, 6 September 2011 (EDT)
