This is my sandbox, where I simulate changes and projects, "off-wiki".

The WikiExclusive
The WikiExclusive is a highly-revered project here on Zelda Wiki, one of which has been so rarely visited that we only have 4 articles presently featured here! Our founder, Jason, came up with the innovative idea in 2007, and hence has been met with a draught of interest. However, within the past few months, I have revived the project with two articles, Trinity of Truth, and Zelda and the Middle Ages, and hope that others, especially you new users, will follow in my footsteps!

The Premise
The WikiExclusive is quite possibly the closest thing to creative writing here on Zelda Wiki.org, a place where referencing every comment is placed on the same level as accurate content.

With The WikiExclusive, one can:
 * Make their opinion public concerning a Zelda-related topic through an infromative article format
 * Express any theory relative to Zelda which has reasonable support (including timeline theories)
 * Use their article to spur discussion on a little-known topic, and bolster support for a personal theory
 * Have your previously-sheltered idea seen and read by the thousands of viewers Zelda Wiki.org recieves everyday
 * Build friendships with the staff and carry a correspondence with Jason, the founder of Zelda Wiki.org
 * Contribute a uniquely special view on the Zelda series to the Zelda community and Zelda Wiki.org

A Basic How-To and The Rules
Take a Zelda topic, a Zelda theory, a Zelda character, and just write about them! How do they effect the series? How does an idea impact other game or characters? How well does an idea connect between games/topics? Those are just some ideas; it's really open to interpretation, and the actual structure of the article is entirely up to you, the writer!

Some rules:
 * 1) The article cannot have any profanity. That's a general rule on this site.
 * 2) It must be long enough to constitute an article. Essay length (the typical 5 paragraphs) is often a good length. If you are unsure of your length, check out the other WikiExclusives.
 * 3) And the bottom-line: it must be deeply rooted in a Zelda theme. We are a Zelda site, and shall publish only Zelda-related material.

So you've written your potential WikiExclusive! You have two trials yet to face.
 * 1) Email your completed project to Jason, and head the email telling who you are, and what the WikiExclusive is about. He will submit it to the Zelda Wiki.org Staff for review. (His email address is in a userbox on his user page here)
 * 2) To be published, your piece must be supported by a clear majority of the administrative staff here at Zelda Wiki.org. If you are unsure if your piece meets the qualifications, look above at the Rules section.

We'd love any and all of you, especially new users, to join in on this project!
