Archived again! 'Club Nintendo has finally offered bonus points for taking the "Intend to Buy" survey on Spirit Tracks''. Go and tell em ZeldaWiki.org sent ya!'''

Announcement above
That ain't working right for me. All I'm seeing is to buy" survey blah blah blah. (not blah blah blah, but you know what I mean.) You may wanna check it out. 15:11, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Is this better? 15:15, 25 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Indeed it is. 15:16, 25 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the update, Ax. Already signed up. :) 18:01, November 25, 2009 (UTC)

Patrol
Do you have to patrol edits to things like userpages or sig pages? 06:06, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Yup, anything that shows up on the recent changes gets patrolled. I don't regulate user pages too much. If I see misspellings they stay there. Unnecessary Wanted Pages get removed, but if I see something offensive to some people(rare) instead of removing it, I ask them what's the problem or something. 06:09, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Huh. Strange. So when I changed my sig to script, you had to patrol that? 06:38, 27 November 2009 (UTC)

Rename of Sale's House O' Bananas
Thank you! It's something that's been bothering me mildly for a while but I never got round to doing anything about it! 07:12, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
 * No problem, it bothered me too but I didn't do anything to it without taking the time to get my save files there to pull some quotes. Eventually we'll have a reference on just about every page :P 18:06, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Can we not just use text dumps for getting exact quotes? 18:19, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
 * You can, I just find it easier to go to the area in the game. I use text dumps for story quotes or for the ease of copy/pasting quotes in. 18:21, 27 November 2009 (UTC)

Testing

 * Oh, NOW Cody makes an edit with his new template :P 02:06, 30 November 2009 (UTC)


 * I don't know what the purpose of that is, but it's biased towards one site, which violates the purpose of ZW. 02:58, November 30, 2009 (UTC)
 * Actually, Alter, it's a template for use by ALL bureaucrats. Take a look. 03:02, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
 * ys, I know that, but the fact is that it's like for whoever gets there first. Something doesn't feel right about it. IDK... 03:46, November 30, 2009 (UTC)
 * True...I see your point, and now I kinda agree... 03:56, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

Well, like I told them when I first had the idea, the ones that won't pick up any members are the ones that completely ignore the wiki. The ones that pick up the most will be the ones to pitch in with the patrolling from time to time, and I told them how to use the namespace invert on the Recent Changes to populate the list with just Talk pages and User Talk pages to look for instances of people taking polls on favorite boss/item/character etc (Discussions fit for forums and not the wiki). Proportionate returns are never 100% fair from the group perspective; the individual's perspective will see it as very fair. 04:24, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

ZWAIF
I'm guessing the goal is to get noobs to put Template:ZWAIF on their page? :D
 * The goal is to whip those stubs into shape for the brave new Hyrule! and why aren't you in Skype? Well until you are, you won't get the links I found that would help you promote OV, at the cost of promoting ZW as well ;) 07:06, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

Useful Info
Any of you fellow FireFox users should look up Grease Monkeys and WikED extensions, bc they work here in so many awesome ways. File:WikED.jpg is a screenshot of what you could have. It highlights the references, images, html coding, in different colors, can be toggled to hide, does text replace, has buttons to fix spacing, punctuation, makes tables, and is just a notch below Dr. Pepper in Awesomeness. 12:41, 4 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh man, thank you so much for showing this to me, Ax! This definitely makes editing the wiki easier. I love how it highlights the references, seeing how I'm always adding references and such. I'll have to mess around with it a little bit more to see what else it offers. Thanks again! :) Dany36 06:01, 6 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Grease Monkey can be found here for Firefox users.
 * Once that's installed, WikED can be downloaded here. You know, just for those who don't feel like using Google. 01:23, December 12, 2009 (UTC)

CSS Page
Hey, sorry I'm flooding the recent changes, but you know that you can't fully preview the CSS stylings without saving them. Is there any way to keep my CSS edits off the recent changes and patrol logs? I don't want to make people mad. 23:36, 4 December 2009 (UTC)
 * The only way I could do that is to change your user account to a staff account then bot, which would hide everything you do and mark it as patrolled automatically. We always discuss changing anyone's user rights before doing it, and I don't think many of the staff would support this case. Sorry tho, the only thing I can say is to think deeply on changes before making them and spread it out over a few days if necessary. 23:44, 4 December 2009 (UTC)
 * That's what I thought. The only problem with thinking out changes is that I don't know what is going to make what. I'm basically testing, here. I just want to get a good looking wiki view. In fact, I'm almost done. I just need to move a few things around. Afterwards, I'm going on to my js page >:P
 * But really, I want to check that out. I copied Matt's js page and changed it up so that I could use it. He's got some NEAT stuff, here. For example, there's a UTC clock displayed in the upper-right hand corner, directly to the right of "log out". It's constantly updating, too, so it's a working atomic clock. He also has some sidebar stuff. I swear, this is some cool stuff. You should check it out. But I must ask:Why does your js consist only of the admin rights thing? Does it give you quick toolbar links to admin functions? 23:52, 4 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah its one of those things I didn't really research, it's still pretty new to us and whatever Matt and Adam said was useful I added. Even tho, I have the redirects one, I never use it bc I'm not willing to get involved in the mess of keeping inline redirects off of ZW. Double redirects can be fixed instantly by the bot when Adam runs it, and that means the only redirects that should be changed are the ones that link to disambig pages. 00:00, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Wait...I've been deleting double redirects for NOTHING?!?! GAH!!!!!
 * ...Anyways, I'm experimenting with adding new personal links. I'm going to be putting up a link to my wikistuff page so that I can easily access that for quick modification of my userpage. Pretty handy, eh? I think this is my new hobby for the time. 00:06, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

We meant to tell you... but didn't want to come across as nagging, bc yeah you can fix it if you want, but the bot can too... these however can only be fixed by an edit hungry human. 00:11, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Holy crap...that's a lot. If only we had something to help us...
 * I'll probably work on those a little bit later when I'm kicked off the real computer. I can't waste this opportunity to make some neat stuff, though. I promise you I'll tackle them later. :3 00:15, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

GIMP
I don't suppose you know anything about GIMP? I just downloaded it, but I have no idea what to do next. 02:10, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Very little. I had it on here, but realized that I 1.) barely use it, and 2.) know enough people to get my drawings touched up when I need it. So I didn't keep it. Is there anything specific you are wondering? 02:13, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Uhh...how do I install it? :P 02:18, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Download it, Save, run... It should leave a desktop icon. It's not as simple as MSPaint, so it might take some getting used to, you'll flip through windows to change brushes, etc. 02:24, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
 * I know a bit about it. Lemme know on my talk page if you need some help with it. 03:21, December 6, 2009 (UTC)

Disambiguation Links
I'm starting a project to kill all disambiguation links. Details here. (If it's a red link, then you're FAST! Wait a minute while I make the flippin' page!) 21:05, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
 * My first concern is the word 'red links' wanted pages are welcome, if they are valid...but I'll have more time to look over it this weekend. Thanks for taking up the disambig link project tho. 03:17, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
