[[File:Zwlogo2dlarge.png|right|100px|Knowledge is power!]] If you’re interested in your ''[[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|The Legend of Zelda]]'' fan site becoming a part of [[Zelda Wiki]], that’s a smart move! Zelda Wiki is the internet's largest collaborative project between Zelda fan sites of all sizes and forms. Together we have created a definitive English wiki for ''The Legend of Zelda'' series and abolished the many small wikis that were once scattered across the web. A number of the current sites that make up Zelda Wiki have had their own Zelda wikis in the past, which have now combined to form Zelda Wiki. Whether you have a small Zelda wiki of your own or you just want a Zelda Wiki for your site, joining this collaborative project is a great opportunity.

Zelda Wiki is the largest repository for {{TLoZ}} content on the web, and we are maintained entirely by volunteer fans. If you're interested in joining the site, all you have to is register. We have some tips here on getting you started with editing and learning what we expect from our editors.
==Affiliation and Community Partnership==
*Read the Help Guides
At this current time, Zelda Wiki offers few options towards affiliation. Standard site affiliation, the simplest of the options, functions as a link exchange. We give you our banner, your site gives us yours. Your banner is placed on our [[Zelda Wiki:Affiliates|affiliates]] page, and your site is given a small summary blurb; we expect that our banner will be presented on your site in similar form. We also do interwiki affiliation with other language Zelda wikis, as well as wikis that contain walkthroughs and guides on the series.
The [[Help:Contents|Help Guides]] contain information about our policies, including:
#[[Help:Getting Started|The basics]] of editing
#How to [[Help:Citing Sources|cite sources]]
#What we consider proper [[Help:Editing Etiquette|editing etiquette]] on the wiki
There are many more guides like these, all of which are meant to be used a reference by new and old users alike.
Furthermore, Zelda Wiki offers what we call "true affiliation"; literally one site helping another. Zelda Wiki helps your site as you help improve Zelda Wiki. Instead of a simple link exchange, we offer a collaboration of help, assistance and mentoring. Sites which are a part of Zelda Wiki are known as "Community Partners."
*Ask the staff
If you'd like some help or have a question to ask, feel free to contact one of the currently active [[Zelda Wiki:Staff|staff]] members. We welcome newcomers and are more than happy to help you learn about using the wiki!
==How to Affiliate==
If you’re interested in affiliating with Zelda Wiki, all you need to do is email the [[Zelda Wiki:Staff|Zelda Wiki staff]] at <span class=plainlinks>[mailto:webmaster@zeldawiki.org webmaster@zeldawiki.org]</span>, explaining why you would like to join the Zelda Wiki project.
Applications for standard affiliation will typically be granted on-request. Applications for Community Parter will be considered by the active administrators and bureaucrats. They will make a majority decision on your application. The criteria for Community Partnership include site stability, content quality, overall attitude and members.
Zelda Wiki is an integral part of many online Zelda communities and hopefully it can become an integral part of yours too, as we continue to build an ultimate encyclopedia on ''The Legend of Zelda'' series. We thank you tremendously for considering helping out with this project.
