Can you help me make a page?
I'm trying to make a Kazumi Totaka page, and I don't know where to start. Can you help me?Ankazar 18:54, 10 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Given Totaka's limited relevance to Zelda, I don't think he would be a valid subject for an article on Zelda Wiki. That would be more Nintendo Wiki or Super Mario Wiki's domain. I went ahead and made the page a redirect to Nintendo Wiki's article on Totaka. Feel free to head on over there and edit the article if you have anything to add. :) 19:22, 10 February 2013 (UTC)

Thanks. You did a wonderful job over there. I have nothing to add.Ankazar 20:30, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

Templates
Does this site have warning templates like the Mario Wiki does, or do users have to type it out when they give people warnings? If not, then could I create these templates and upload them? It would make giving people warnings a lot easier. And also, how do you cross out text??

P.S. This user should be blocked.........


 * Well, we do have Template:Howtoprev and a few similar templates for common newbie mistakes, but as for block warnings and such... I can't speak for the entire staff, but in my opinion, that kind of thing should be handled on a case by case basis (they happen rarely enough, anyway, and it's almost never the same thing twice). I believe problematic users should be addressed by an actual staff member as opposed to just being fed a canned message. I would think it's more likely to have an impact that way.


 * So personally I don't believe we need warning templates right now. I'll talk to the rest of the staff about it to see what they think. 21:13, 10 February 2013 (UTC)

What did they say? --TripleTriforce 23:30, 8 March 2013 (UTC)

Odd Question
Is there anything I can do to help out concerning the vandalism that keeps happening? Can I mark content or users as inappropriate, or is my only option to contact you guys directly? Cause it is sad how fast the Recent Changes page is getting loaded with terrible content. :( Pixel 20:32, 12 February 2013 (ADT)


 * Sorry about that. :/ I appreciate that you want to help, though. If you want, you can tag the articles for deletion with Template:Delete. To be completely honest, though, that doesn't make much of a difference. The vandalism will be one of the first things an admin sees as soon as he/she gets online, whether they're tagged for deletion or not.


 * Now that I think of it, one thing you definitely CAN do to help is email me when a vandal pops up. I'll be able to see it on my smartphone most of the time so you might be able to get me online sooner if you do that. You could even text me if you wanted to. I'd be OK with giving you my number haha. 02:55, 13 February 2013 (UTC)


 * I didn't even know there was an email system through the wiki. X) I really could learn more about the things I can do here, I'm slowly working on it. As for the phone this, if you really wanted to I guess. I would sorta feel bad cause I don't always see them (or at least not before any off you), and I'm not very social. I don't even have people through Skype on here. X) Pixel 21:09, 12 February 2013 (ADT)


 * Bah, nonsense. Pretty sure we're all awkward penguins here (well, most of us, anyway). :P
 * Do what you feel. If you want to do the emailing thing, I'll appreciate it. If not, no worries. 13:18, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

Sorry
Sorry for placing an off topic template. I didn't realize that conversation had to do with the wiki. --TripleTriforce 18:08, 20 February 2013 (UTC)


 * No worries, please just be more careful next time. :) 21:34, 20 February 2013 (UTC)

Skyward Sword Item textures
This is a bit more complicated than sprite ripping but I made an attempt. These two images (Items, Collectables) are just from the beginning of the game, I need more time for the various updates (the sub menus, the flames and other quest items etc.) that appear during the game and the dowsing screen of course. But you can already place the different items in it and work something out for the template. Maybe you don't need all these screens, just share your vision with me and I will try to help you;-) --ShardofTruth 23:02, 21 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Great! But uh... the links appear to be broken. All I'm getting when I click them is an HTTP error. :( 23:51, 21 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Sorry to butt into your conversation but the links are working just fine. It may be something wrong with your connection. ?_? -- 00:19, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
 * More links: http://i.imgur.com/K4Vng4a.png http://i.imgur.com/G7lXt2p.png I hope these work for you. --ShardofTruth 00:31, 22 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Awesome, I can't thank you enough!


 * To be honest, I haven't thought much farther than the basic inventory circle. It's been a while since I've played SS so I don't really remember what items appear where. I'll pick it up and refresh my memory when I have the time. Soooo that said, there really isn't really much of a vision worth sharing at the moment. Feel free to take over the entire project if you feel so inclined. :P


 * The first links are working fine now. Odd. 01:01, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Last update for today: All quest items with tablet All quest items with Triforce I have to check my savegame backups for the swords and the different items and their quantities. I can't really remember all these items either. :P--ShardofTruth 01:38, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Okay, this is the final inventory screen with every item maxed out.
 * I checked my backup savegames and they are quite lacking, so I will have to play through some portions of the game again to get a complete dowsing screen, the non-upgraded items and the place of some quest items like the Life Tree Fruit. This will take a little while though because I borrowed my Wiimote and the game is almost impossible to play without it.--ShardofTruth 16:47, 22 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Alright, sick. Having the dowsing menu eventually would be a plus, but this is definitely good enough for starters. :)
 * I wouldn't worry too much about all the item upgrades. As long as we have one version of each item like we do, it's all we really need for the navigation template because the various upgrades are on the same wiki pages anyway (except for the Goddess Sword and Master Sword, so that one would be needed.) 12:45, 24 February 2013 (UTC)

Just curious
I'm just curious on one thing I can understand removing ganon from his own line in on the Bosses of Wand of Gamelon page but is there a reason Dark Link has his own line on the Bosses in Zelda II page? That was the source material for aiding the editing process and the reason Ganon got his own line. -- 16:18, 23 February 2013 (UTC)


 * I understand. I know some other pages do it that way, so it's not like you did it "wrong" or anything. I personally don't think it's necessary, that's all. I'll go ahead and change the Zelda II page right now. :P 16:21, 23 February 2013 (UTC)


 * It's cool I just wasn't sure if it was a size thing or a canon issue. I'm doing another gallery of sprites for Faces of Evil soon so I wanted to see what was what before hand. :) -- 16:24, 23 February 2013 (UTC)


 * OK. :) Also, Dark Link is appearing on the same line for me. You probably just have a more narrow screen than I do, so the Dark Link image gets pushed onto the next line for you. That's just how our galleries work, it wasn't done deliberately. 16:28, 23 February 2013 (UTC)

Long overdue apology
I am extremely sorry for my behavior using the other accounts I created. I have stopped vandalizing and trolling for good now, and I will never do these kinds of things again.

--TripleTriforce 15:22, 2 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Your apology is much appreciated. Consider this water under the bridge, man. :) 15:26, 2 March 2013 (UTC)

Reply
I replied on my talk page (to your "Edit Summaries" section)


 * Don't worry, I saw it. Thanks for cooperating. :) 23:36, 8 March 2013 (UTC)

What did the rest of the staff say about the warning templates? --TripleTriforce 23:46, 8 March 2013 (UTC)


 * We're all on the same page about it. We feel like people should be hearing from an actual staff member in these situations and at the moment we're willing to oblige. Thanks for bringing this to our attention, but we're quite alright with the way things are now. :) 23:49, 8 March 2013 (UTC)

Would this be good...
Sorry in advance for the size of this section; I was wondering if this would be good for a featured photo nomination. I don't know how to make this smaller, so again, Sorry! Ankazar 02:11, 14 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Caleb is currently on vacation, but I'd say that's a great candidate for a featured pic. Feel free to nominate it here! 03:50, 14 March 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the info! Ankazar 19:37, 15 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Actually, that image looks like it's fan art, and I'm pretty sure that we don't allow unofficial art to be Featured Pictures. 00:32, 16 March 2013 (UTC)

Tiny bit too late there. 03:18, 22 March 2013 (UTC)


 * To the contrary, my response preceded my edit to the Feature Pictures page by several hours. 09:47, 22 March 2013 (UTC)

Slight complication...
I made my signature today, and I noticed that there were these bars there. What should I do to get rid of them? 03:15, 22 March 2013 (UTC)


 * You mean the brackets [like this] ? If so, you literally just have to remove them from the coding surrounding the  tags.  09:47, 22 March 2013 (UTC)

I have a question, if someone sighed up, but didn't get a e-mail address confirmation, then what do they do? Mindy 00:04, 20 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Go to Special:ConfirmEmail and click the button to have an activation code re-sent. If the email address was entered incorrectly, you can correct the error in Special:Preferences. Hope this helps! 00:11, 20 April 2013 (UTC)

What if the email address is correct, but they still haven't got the email address confirmation? Mindy 01:04, 20 April 2013 (UTC)

Translates
HK, if I come across any empty English name translation, is it cool to Google Translate them to fill in the gaps, or are they too generic to be adequately correct? --Smighty 10:07, 20 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Never use Google Translate. It's incredibly inaccurate. 17:52, 20 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Well, I wouldn't say never, but yeah, relying on Google Translate alone for anything but the simplest translations is probably not the best idea. I would recommend using bilingual dictionaries as much as possible. Also, many of our Translations pages have an English translation on-hover over the foreign names, so you can check that too.
 * If all the foreign names have a translation that's the same as the English name, you can just leave out the "Meanings" field entirely. Otherwise it's just repetitive. 00:04, 21 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Gotcha, no repeats and Bilingual Dictionaries > Google Translate, except in the simpliest of translations. I doubt I'll really need to know what to do, but i thought id better check the protocol. Thanks guys --Smighty 00:34, 21 April 2013 (UTC)
