:Oh to respond to you from before, I copy/pasted the entire character list from OoT characterlist. And then changed the info. I had to delete the gallery tags to see the names though. I can't wait to see your work here, feel free to brag to me about it![[User:Axiomist|Axiomist]]
== Announcement above ==


::Okay, that's good. You're ahead of me copying the OoT character list... As far as my work goes I've made my [[User:Melchizedek]] page, and the talk page attached, and my only wiki edit is the Anju's Grandmothers section of [[The Carnival of Time]], with some help from Adamcox82. Well for the future, I'll use the random page generator, then read them, and edit it to improve them as best I can. Some possible wiki projects I've got as ideas are glitch lists, walkthroughs, and 100% game completion checklists. Look forward to seeing you around. Also, when typing messages in the user talk, make sure you put your name after it, so we know who it's from...{{:User:Melchizedek/sig}}

Hi, welcome to Zelda Wiki.org! Thanks for your contributions.


Here's a wiki tip for you -- you can sign your name on talk/discussion pages by typing <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> which automatically adds your signature and the date.
== Patrol ==


Check out our [[Help:Contents]] area for more tricks.
Do you have to patrol edits to things like userpages or sig pages?{{:User:Justin ZW/sig}} 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. {{:User:Axiomist1875@legacy41958496/sig}} 06:09, 27 November 2009 (UTC)

Thanks! I appreciate what you've done to the Characters Pages I made! It's looking pretty snazzy. I found some images on this site to add to it. But how did you do it? I'm not familiar with this format at all yet. I'm the type that learns by diving in headfirst. Trust me, I couldn't be 'taught' to drive a standard. I had to hop in and drive without anyone else in the car! Thanks for the great tips too!
Thank you! It's something that's been bothering me mildly for a while but I never got round to doing anything about it! {{:User:Petenu@legacy41960717/sig}} 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 {{:User:Axiomist1875@legacy41958496/sig}} 18:06, 27 November 2009 (UTC)

Here's a little help from me. Your <nowiki>===Me===</nowiki> sign has to be the only thing in the whole line to make it work. So you have to write <nowiki>===Me===</nowiki> then hit enter and write everything and your tag will be correct. Also, i see you ave a lot of userboxes :). If you want, you can neatly arrange them to the left or right by using adam's userbox containers. They're <nowiki>{{usebox container r}} and

{{userbox container l}}</nowiki>. Anyway, have fun, and for more help, come see me in the Chatroom :) --[[User:Seablue254|Seablue254]] 17:08, 27 April 2008 (UTC)


OK! I'll fix that and tidy it up in a second. I copy/pasted it from someone that didn't have all of the games I have. Then I was just guessing what the abbreviations would be. I can't find one for MQ, CE or WW. Be easier to just swipe Adam's, i suppose. :P[[User:Axiomist|Axiomist]] 17:12, 27 April 2008 (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. {{:User:Axiomist1875@legacy41958496/sig}} 04:24, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

I'm guessing the goal is to get noobs to put [[Template:ZELDA]] on their page? :D {{:User:Alter/sig}}

I just spent over an hour typing up a page all about Battle Mode of PH! Then I went to save and it said I had an external link. Curious and wanting to stay within the rules, I clicked 'more info'. and bam. Page lost. >([[User:Axiomist|Axiomist]] 06:15, 29 April 2008 (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. Here 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. {{:User:Axiomist1875@legacy41958496/sig}} 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! :) [[User:Dany36|Dany36]] 06:01, 6 December 2009 (UTC)


::Grease Monkey can be found [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/748 here] for Firefox users.
::Once that's installed, WikED can be downloaded [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?action=raw&ctype=text/javascript&title=User:Cacycle/wikEd.user.js here]. You know, just for those who don't feel like using Google. {{:User:Alter/sig}} <span style="color: #FFFFFF;">01:23, December 12, 2009 (UTC)</span>


::That's unlucky. It happened to me as well. There's no way I know to recover the page. My suggestion, from what I do, is to type up the article in Word, then copy it to the wiki, and add the wiki format. This way you can also use spell check. The reason the page comes up again for external links, is so you can solve a simple math problem, to show it's not an automated program spamming or something. When clicking for'more details' like that, I suggest right clicking, and choosing open in new window. It's happened to most of us, and with internet glitches and freezings I advise caution as I've learnt from experience.
== CSS Page ==


::Regards,
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.{{:User:Justin ZW/sig}} 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.{{:User:Axiomist1875@legacy41958496/sig}} 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?{{:User:Justin ZW/sig}} 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. {{:User:Axiomist1875@legacy41958496/sig}} 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.{{:User:Justin ZW/sig}} 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... [http://zeldawiki.org/index.php?title=Special:Disambiguations&limit=250&offset=0 these] however can only be fixed by an edit hungry human. {{:User:Axiomist1875@legacy41958496/sig}} 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{{:User:Justin ZW/sig}} 00:15, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

==Link articles==
Hi!! You seem interested in standardizing the ''See Also'' section. We can link enemies (and characters??) only if they share a same appearance and are defeated in the same manner (or have the same role in the game for the characters). For the type of enemies or habitat, we can create categories (plant-based, birds, etc.). There is already some: OctoFamily, undead. For undead we can create subcategories such as ghosts, stalfos, Zombies/Mummy, etc.
For the merge, alright it is an English/American wiki but it is a japanese game, so shouldn't Japanese names prevailed over English ones when there is two different names in the American version for the same character?? [[User:Jeangabin@legacy41961421|Jeangabin]] 21:31, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
:I don't normally correct spellings in the talk space, but I had to, lest I not understand what you just wrote. (sorry if that offends, but it needed to be said) Anyway, the sub-category idea is D.O.A. we keep subjectivity out of categorization. Rather than forcing this to fit in formal tags like categories and See Also sections, you should probably try to create a template like "''other similar enemies''" or something. See Also is meant to be used when an article alone can't fully describe what's being discussed. So the Golden Goddesses would likely need a referral to the Triforce, and etc. not necessarily other Deities. {{:User:Axiomist1875@legacy41958496/sig}} 05:17, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

:I've commented on it in skype. It's a grey area, on one hand it's in the user namespace, on the other hand I have to patrol all of that, it's unfitting of wikis bc wikis are collaboration tools and game expectation topics are more fitting for a forum. Other than my user page itself, whenever I make a userspace page, it's something I that I hope could benefit the wiki, and allow others to edit.

::::As I had the same comment on my userpage, and wanted to keep the conversation centralized, I shall reply back here. I agree with Ax on this one, Ember. However, With your ideas, I feel you'd be a great candidate for the WikiExclusive program here at Zelda Wiki.org. Basically, the WikiExclusive is a written fan-made article about anything related to Zelda, completely up to you. It carries little to no rules (just no profanity, and keep the topic Zelda related), and the structure is user-created, as long as the article is of a good length (2 full pages is just fine). For publication, you'd have to send it to one of the admins (or to me, and I'll send it to them) for review. And that's about it! The staff must approve it, and it will get published here on ZW. If you're interested, just let me know!

:That's a good find, You should definately add it. I didn't even think to check it while I was poking around OoA. I was looking to see why a seperate page existed for the Rolling ridge one mainly. I noticed your name to a lot of the OoX games. I respect that bc most fans skip these games.[[User:Axiomist|Axiomist]] 05:51, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Sory, but I am rather eager to know about the Mastermind's discussion about my page. Can someone atleast tell me if you guys are considering it, if you decided to shunn the project, or if you can't saying anything yet becuase you guys have not come to an agreement? You don't have to.

:No agreement has gone down yet. Other than the fact that a few of realize we'll have some rewording to do in the article for grammar corrections. That's one reason the staff is meant to put the Wiki Exclusives up, so that all of the grammar and spelling can be inline with our standards. I understand English isn't your first language, but if you have a friend or someone willing to look at your work and clean it up, it will probably fare much better when other staff members read it. Thanks for deciding to submit it as a Wiki Exclusive! That saves us the trouble of determining what to do with pages that kinda fit in on ZW, but kinda don't.{{:User:Axiomist1875@legacy41958496/sig}} 09:51, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

The closest there is to a name for that child is the multi-ending book, where he's called Bipsom by Link. He's never mentioned in either of the mangas. Come to think of it, i don't think we have a page for those books either... [[User:Yuvorias|Mr. Mystery]], 16:11, 6 May 2008 (EST)

Hey there, little tip for when you're using the game name shortcut templates. You should always use <nowiki>{{subst:INITIALS}}</nowiki> (like it says [[Template:OOA|here]]), this inserts the actual full text instead of just linking back to the template (I know the visible result is the same, but this is the better way to do it) ;) --[[User:Adamcox82|Adamcox82]] 19:03, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

I was playing Link's Awakening last night, and it reminded me of an important question:
 
Did you ever find the Three-Of-A-Kind in Oracle of Ages? I look everywhere, and I couldn't find them. --[[User:Yuvorias|Mr.Mystery]], 10:44, 14 June 2008 (EST)
:I haven't had a chance to look. I knew I'd be busy bc I'm moving later this month so I thought I removed the reference from the Three of a Kind page. If I find a Three-of-a-Kind, then I'll put it back up. I plan to replay the game to get info on the Secrets sidequests eventually. Zelda Wiki doesn't seem to have any info on the Secrets Sidequests, so if you know the stuff, then go for it.

::Your welcome. I think the article is looking great but with so many people editing it, what probably happened was that they wanted to expand a sentence, instead of adding a comma and removing the 'and'- just tacked on another one. Thereby leaving much of the statements with 3-4 'ands' in it. I noticed the 'Goron Game' from PH was overlooked, I added it in and will expand it to make up for shortening the article with a little bit of proofreading to bring some of the statements together.{{:User:Axiomist/sig}} 14:24, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

:Thanks. Back in January I think it was... Definately. Don't hesitate to ask if you need to any help.

:Yea, I've been bugging Matt and Mandi with questions. I'm not entirely certain what the rollback will do, Matt said to be careful with it bc it doesn't ask questions. Patrolling is getting me to take a look at articles I'd otherwise avoid, so expect tons of improvements xD. I'm prioritizing the patrols over the things I want to do here, so I'll be working as hard as I can to keep the backlog down :P{{:User:Axiomist/sig}} 20:31, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
 
::Feel free to turf Q's to me if you want, now that I'm back active. Okay, the Rollback feature, with minimal clicks will undo all the recent edits a user has done to that page, up to the latest version by another user. It is a good feature to getting vandals or many pointless edits. If there is only one edit, then it works the same as the undo edit feature. As Matt and Mandi have said, you probably don't need to use it, but it's good to be aware of it. To demonstrate, pretend these are edits of a page:
 
::1:User A
::2:User A
::3:User B
::4:User A
::5:user B
 
::Using the rollback feature would rollback through edits or undo edits 1 and 2 by user A, up to user B, but not undo any edits made by User A (Edit 4), before user B (Edit 3).

:Ok, you could use a spell check, a dictionary at your desk, or something but I can always forgive bad spelling. If it makes sense and adds details to a page it's pretty painless to clean up. If you'd like to work on linking errors we'd appreciate that too. You can always look around at pages and make sure that too many of the same words aren't linked in each paragraph found. For example, "Link" might be the most common word used here, some people tend to pipe link every instance of his name. We think a few times on a page is ok, but we don't really like it pipelinked much in one paragraph. {{:User:Axiomist/sig}} 02:28, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

Patrol

Do you have to patrol edits to things like userpages or sig pages?User:Justin ZW/sig 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. Axiomist (talk) 06:09, 27 November 2009 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Huh. Strange. So when I changed my sig to script, you had to patrol that?User:Justin ZW/sig 06:38, 27 November 2009 (UTC)

Thank you! It's something that's been bothering me mildly for a while but I never got round to doing anything about it! • Pete | 07:12, 27 November 2009 (UTC)Reply[reply]

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 Axiomist (talk) 18:06, 27 November 2009 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Can we not just use text dumps for getting exact quotes? • Pete | 18:19, 27 November 2009 (UTC)Reply[reply]
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. Axiomist (talk) 18:21, 27 November 2009 (UTC)Reply[reply]

True...I see your point, and now I kinda agree...User:Justin ZW/sig 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. Axiomist (talk) 04:24, 30 November 2009 (UTC)Reply[reply]

ZWAIF

I'm guessing the goal is to get noobs to put Template:ZELDA on their page? :D Alter  {T C B H }

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 ;) Axiomist (talk) 07:06, 2 December 2009 (UTC)Reply[reply]

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. Here 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. Axiomist (talk) 12:41, 4 December 2009 (UTC)Reply[reply]

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)Reply[reply]
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. Alter  {T C B H } 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.User:Justin ZW/sig 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.Axiomist (talk) 23:44, 4 December 2009 (UTC)Reply[reply]
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?User:Justin ZW/sig 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. Axiomist (talk) 00:00, 5 December 2009 (UTC)Reply[reply]
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.User:Justin ZW/sig 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. Axiomist (talk) 00:11, 5 December 2009 (UTC)Reply[reply]

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. :3User:Justin ZW/sig 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.User:Justin ZW/sig 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? Axiomist (talk) 02:13, 6 December 2009 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Uhh...how do I install it? :PUser:Justin ZW/sig 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.Axiomist (talk) 02:24, 6 December 2009 (UTC)Reply[reply]

"You Link"

Hello, I saw the tag on the Nintendo Gallery page and decided to edit said page to fit a more professional style. Would you mind reviewing it and removing the tag if it's up to quality standards? - TonyT S C 03:19, 16 December 2009 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Will do, I normally go through the unpatrolled edits backlog from oldest to newest, but I'll check that out now while we are both online. Axiomist (talk) 03:21, 16 December 2009 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Nintendo Alliance

Hello Axiomist! It would be nice if you could check this. Is an idea from Archaic that sounds really nice, it has got full support from us (MarioWiki), we just need Steve to aprove. It would be great if ZeldaWiki wanted to take part in this. Tucayo

Thank you for bringing that to my attention here. We've been discussing it in skype. Well I guess the secret is out, The Revolution of the Independent Wikis is underway.

Sorry to hear that. And about the voting, yes, we are still waiting on Nate's draft for changes. But I knew from the beginning that SMW would probably have a hand in revolutionizing some of our policies. Axiomist (talk) 01:10, 9 February 2010 (UTC)Reply[reply]
It was an impersonator. ZP guys dont know nothing about that >_> Cool. I saw your system was voting on 1 thing per month and using a template in each suer talk to show who voted. Perhaps you would like to take a look at MarioWiki:Featured Articles and MarioWiki:Featured Images.

Link articles

Hi!! You seem interested in standardizing the See Also section. We can link enemies (and characters??) only if they share a same appearance and are defeated in the same manner (or have the same role in the game for the characters). For the type of enemies or habitat, we can create categories (plant-based, birds, etc.). There is already some: OctoFamily, undead. For undead we can create subcategories such as ghosts, stalfos, Zombies/Mummy, etc. For the merge, alright it is an English/American wiki but it is a japanese game, so shouldn't Japanese names prevailed over English ones when there is two different names in the American version for the same character?? Jeangabin 21:31, 14 February 2010 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I don't normally correct spellings in the talk space, but I had to, lest I not understand what you just wrote. (sorry if that offends, but it needed to be said) Anyway, the sub-category idea is D.O.A. we keep subjectivity out of categorization. Rather than forcing this to fit in formal tags like categories and See Also sections, you should probably try to create a template like "other similar enemies" or something. See Also is meant to be used when an article alone can't fully describe what's being discussed. So the Golden Goddesses would likely need a referral to the Triforce, and etc. not necessarily other Deities. Axiomist (talk) 05:17, 15 February 2010 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Opinoins

Can you please comment on the page I just made? -- կրակ (խոսել) -- 19:17, 19 February 2010 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I've commented on it in skype. It's a grey area, on one hand it's in the user namespace, on the other hand I have to patrol all of that, it's unfitting of wikis bc wikis are collaboration tools and game expectation topics are more fitting for a forum. Other than my user page itself, whenever I make a userspace page, it's something I that I hope could benefit the wiki, and allow others to edit. Otherwise, I'd make them as a forum thread to just get opinions on my work. Axiomist (talk) 19:23, 19 February 2010 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Well, actualy, it was ment for a forum. > .> I just made this as a rough draft. By the way, I don't use skype. -- կրակ (խոսել) -- 19:25, 19 February 2010 (UTC)Reply[reply]
The purpose of the wiki isn't to serve as your online Wordpad for forum rough draft posts. Keep in mind that you are eating into the server with these things. Axiomist (talk) 19:27, 19 February 2010 (UTC)Reply[reply]
As I had the same comment on my userpage, and wanted to keep the conversation centralized, I shall reply back here. I agree with Ax on this one, Ember. However, With your ideas, I feel you'd be a great candidate for the WikiExclusive program here at Zelda Wiki.org. Basically, the WikiExclusive is a written fan-made article about anything related to Zelda, completely up to you. It carries little to no rules (just no profanity, and keep the topic Zelda related), and the structure is user-created, as long as the article is of a good length (2 full pages is just fine). For publication, you'd have to send it to one of the admins (or to me, and I'll send it to them) for review. And that's about it! The staff must approve it, and it will get published here on ZW. If you're interested, just let me know!

Part Two

Sory, but I am rather eager to know about the Mastermind's discussion about my page. Can someone atleast tell me if you guys are considering it, if you decided to shunn the project, or if you can't saying anything yet becuase you guys have not come to an agreement? You don't have to. Sorry if I seem impaitent. -- կրակ (խոսել) -- 09:28, 6 March 2010 (UTC)Reply[reply]

No agreement has gone down yet. Other than the fact that a few of realize we'll have some rewording to do in the article for grammar corrections. That's one reason the staff is meant to put the Wiki Exclusives up, so that all of the grammar and spelling can be inline with our standards. I understand English isn't your first language, but if you have a friend or someone willing to look at your work and clean it up, it will probably fare much better when other staff members read it. Thanks for deciding to submit it as a Wiki Exclusive! That saves us the trouble of determining what to do with pages that kinda fit in on ZW, but kinda don't.Axiomist (talk) 09:51, 6 March 2010 (UTC)Reply[reply]
