* Quite a few articles, i.e. most articles, do not have enough or any sources. This is quickly becoming unacceptable. We encourage members to locate and add sources to these articles. A list of articles in need of sources can be found at: [[:Category:Articles lacking sources|Articles lacking sources]]. That list is by no means complete. There are countless other articles that need sources.

[[Zelda Wiki.org:Pieces of Heart|Pieces of Heart]] are helpful in the Zelda universe, and they're helpful at Zelda Wiki.org. Here's a useful hint from the archive:
 
The correct format for adding links to game titles from the [[Legend of Zelda series]] is using a piped link to the game's article, but showing the short version of the title and written in italics. For example you'd have to type this:<br>
<nowiki>''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]''</nowiki><br>
to display the correct link like this:<br>
''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]''<br><br>
You might thing that seems like a lot of hard work, and you'd be right! So why not use a nifty shortcut? Templates have been set up enabling you to use the game's abbreviated initials to make the same link, so all you'd need to type in this example is:<br>
'''<nowiki>{{subst:TWW}}</nowiki>'''<br>
Once you save the page, this will be automatically replaced with the long-winded link above! You can check the full list of game article links [[:Category:Formatting Templates|here]], grouped under *. {{:User:Adam/sig}} 18:30, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
