== Translation ==
==Other Website Links==
Hi,
Is there any reason why Zelda Universe is the only web page that has a link to this wiki? You'd think that bigger sites would want to link to it. {{Unsigned|69.209.105.72|17:45, December 26, 2005 (UTC)}}
I would like know if this wiki can be translated in another language for example in french?


Im not sure how to put it on the site, but here's the HTML for an on page '''''babel fish''''' translater <script language="JavaScript1.2" src="http://www.altavista.com/static/scripts/translate_engl.js"></script> --Hero of Darkness 18:38 14 febuary 2008 (GMT)

== Hard to locate ==
 
It seems to a lot of people that finding the actual articles/wiki is quite hard. Can you maybe put it in the navigation named as something. Like named A-M,N-Z or wtvr.
 
And also, since this is the community wiki now, you think we should create a new template for it? Make it more zelda-ish...
 
:The easiest way to locate an article is to use the search feature. As for skin, GoldenChaos is working on it. --[[User:Sheik-Yumil1988|Sheik-Yumil1988]] 19:33, 8 October 2006 (CDT)

== Kudos ==
Excellent job on the main page.  It looks amazing!  This should attract a lot of people and hopefully it will inspire even more to help with the wiki.  Oh and btw, there is a broken link.  the bosses link on the main page actually links to the dungeon page.  Just a little heads up.  But all the same, wonderful job!  --Gambit8585
 
:Fixed the Bosses link. --[[User:Lars|Lars]] 17:39, 23 October 2006 (CDT)
 
::As some people know (or will learn) about me is that i am always coming up with new ideas...possibly too many. But my newest idea is to add a featured video as well, to go with the image and article. The problem is that I don't think ZeldaWiki.org has enough videos for once a month. Give me opinions on my talk page. --[[User:Eponasowner|Claire]] 22:59, 1 February 2008 (EST)
 
== Twilight Princess Geography ==
 
In order to avoid confusion about the locations of places in Twilight Princess, I believe it is important for everyone to use the locations of the same version of the game. Since Twilight Princess was flipped for the Wii, I believe that the GameCube locations should be used.

Plagiarism Report

Just now I was fairly shocked to find a blatant Wikipedia dump on Ganondorf done by Stylistic Vibe. It had been there for roughly two weeks and no-one noticed.
I would like to ask that when a complete rewrite appears on any article that you should be instantly suspicious of it, and check Wikipedia or other sources.
Oh and someone should inform that contributor about the specifics of Wikipedia content copying. Thank you for your time. Garrett 06:51, August 4, 2005 (UTC)
