Peefy: And it's starting to take a good shape. An excellent shape to be frank. {{Unsigned|Peefy@legacy41957194|15:45, April 25, 2005 (UTC)}}
Please visit my talk page if you wish to debate contractions in various Zelda games that pretty much break every possible Zelda timeline. I will be posting a new one as soon as the current one dies out. Please make sure to read the rules. [[User:The importer@legacy41957619|The importer]] 18:01, January 2, 2007 (UTC)
 
:Hey, Sorry I took so long to catch this. I'm guessing, after 2 weeks, I might have problems finding you around, but I hope you catch this. Everything else is already on your page... -[[user:Mmmmm PIE@legacy41957525|PIE]] {{Post Time|18:59, January 16, 2007 (UTC)}}
 
==Pages for Deletion==
Hey, just wanted to drop the admins a line, and I figured this would be the easiest and most noticeable place. I know you all are busy with real-life stuff and what not, but I've been cleaning up the uncategorized page and there are a number of pages that need to be deleted.  No rush, but I figured I would just compile the list here to make it easier on you guys. Here are the pages:  [[Darknuts]], [[Item]], [[Items]], [[Shiek]], [[Snake's Remains]], [[Sword and Shield Maze]], [[Redeads]].  All of their discussion pages have my reasoning, and if something isn't sound, just ignore it.  Lata!  -- [[User:Gambit8585@legacy41957516|Gambit8585]] {{Post Time|06:42, January 7, 2007 (UTC)}}
 
:Redirects are easier, champ. I'll work through these now. [[User:Thesubrosian@legacy41957635|Thesubrosian]] 07:32, January 7, 2007 (UTC)

==Category Links==
To be able to link to Categories without making them look like external links, just write what you would as if you were categorising a page and then put a colon infront of Category. [[:Category:Zelda]] voila. {{Unsigned|Ian Moody@legacy41957231|13:48, May 17, 2005 (UTC)}}

==Trade Sequences Category==
==Creating Categories==
Anyone think it would be a good idea for a Trade Sequences category? Then we could break that category down by game or something along those lines. --[[User:Gambit8585@legacy41957516|Gambit8585]] {{Post Time|20:30, January 9, 2007 (UTC)}}
Ah... Something to keep me busy. ^_^ Kudos to you, ZU, for coming up with this brilliant idea! Come to think of it, didn't I suggest something like this a year or so ago? Oh well, it doesn't matter.<br/>I am pleased to officially (officially, hah!) announce that I will treat any and all articles of questionable grammar with utmost care. Please, if anyone has something s/he doesn't want to take care of right away, you should notify me. I find an odd enjoyment in editting the work of others. I don't understand it, but it should greatly benefit this latest addition to ZU. BTW, hi Peefy! :D<br/>I have one quick question, though... Is there any way for low-clearance members to creat a new category? I would like to create one titled "Gamer Terminology" that will give definitions of terms and abbreviations that not everyone might understand.<br/>Your Loyal Zelda Fan,<br/>[[User:Wielder of the Sword@legacy41957248|Wielder of the Sword]] {{Post Time|20:29, June 20, 2005 (UTC)}}


==Fan Comic==
==Hay Guys==
{{OT}}
{{OT}}
I am currently working on a zelda comic series in my spare time.<br/>I already drew 20+ comics and am writing them just about every day(in school).<br/>As of now they are all hand drawn and it will be at least till the summer before I am finished and am able to transfer them onto the computer.<br/>I'm hoping to post it on this site and if you are interested contact me with ideas/comments/etc. My email is Marcuslehner21@gmail.com. --[[User:Marcuslehner21@legacy41957655|Marcuslehner21]] 01:05, February 22, 2007 (UTC)

==Fan Media Policy==
What's the policy on (a) content concerning Zelda FanMedia (particularly FanFic and Fan made games) and (b) Ficticious content, created by fans, and labelled as such? Personally I'm divide; articles I've seen created today includng {{Red Link|FOD}} and {{Red Link|Backstory}} aren't exactly inspiring, but there really is some good fic out there and Typhoon's Zelda Online is looking more promising all the time. Certainly these are worth mentions? --[[User:Mmmmm PIE@legacy41957525|PIE]] {{Post Time|06:47, March 20, 2007 (UTC)}}
 
==Featured Pictures==
I think that there should be a featured picture along with the featured article. I think it would make the main page more interesting. Does anyone else agree with me? [[User:42bens@legacy41957880|42bens]] 01:09, July 4, 2007 (UTC)
 
An idea for this would be one that has no logo on it, very high quality, maybe rare, and is an important ZELDA thing. A few examples are:
*[[File:Kafeianjureunited.jpg|left|thumb]]{{Clear}}
*{{Red Link|File:Bean seller better.jpg}}
*[[File:MM Sakon's Hideout.png|left|thumb]]{{Clear}}
These are just to get the general idea started. I just think it would make the main page look better and more like wikipedia. [[User:42bens@legacy41957880|42bens]] 21:47, July 14, 2007 (UTC)
 
:Sounds like a pretty good idea to me. If anyone else is unclear on the concept, have a look [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Featured pictures|here]]. It would be a good way to feature articles on the Main Page which do not fulfil the criteria to be a Featured Article, but have other merits such as an interesting or unusual image. (PS thanks for using one of the images I found and reformatted as an example :) --[[User:Adam660@legacy41957735|Adam]] 23:02, July 14, 2007 (UTC)
 
::It's a well done picture. Just like the Shiro one. But you get the point. How many people have to agree on it for it to happen.  I spoke to [[User:GoldenChaos|Jase]] about it and he said that if some good images could be found then it could be done. [[User:42bens@legacy41957880|42bens]] 15:06, July 15, 2007 (UTC)
 
:::I'd say as long as Jason is happy for it to go ahead, it's not necessary to look for others to support the idea (as long as nobody has any valid objections). However, it will have to wait until he gets back, as I'm not prepared to go ahead and implement it without his say-so. --[[User:Adam660@legacy41957735|Adam]] 15:35, July 15, 2007 (UTC)
 
::::Eh, I'm a bit confused as to where the featured picture thing would go on the main page. I would suggest at the bottom, like Wikipedia, but we have the announcements there, and it should go above that. Perhaps just put it directly below the Featured Article bit. If you can figure it out, or think of something better, go for it. --[[User:GoldenChaos|Jase]] 23:13, August 4, 2007 (UTC)
 
::::I'm just glad it finally happened. It looks good. How are we selecting new ones? Putting them here? If so I can get a start on finding future candidates... [[User:42bens@legacy41957880|42bens]] 18:28, August 6, 2007 (UTC)
 
:::::No, I think we'll do the same as for the featured article nominations. You can nominate '''[[Zelda Wiki:Featured Picture Nomination|here]]'''.--[[User:Adam660@legacy41957735|Adam]] 19:25, August 6, 2007 (UTC)
 
==External Icon==
Not sure where to ask about this, so I'll put it here. Right now, the external link icon looks a bit wierd (at least, to me) with the white inside of it. Therefore, I uploaded another version that could be used in its stead. So, what I'm asking is do you want to [http://www.zeldawiki.org/wiki/Main_Page replace] with {{Red Link|File:External_icon_2.png}} (don't worry about alignment--it's because of how the background image for the external icon is vertically centered on the line)? I know the css needed to change the icons, if it comes to that, but what do all of you think? --[[User:Skizzerz989@legacy41957926|Skizzerz]] <sup>[[User talk:Skizzerz989@legacy41957926|Talk]] - [[Special:Contributions/Skizzerz989@legacy41957926|Contribs]]</sup> 17:25, July 19, 2007 (UTC)
 
:If the color were made to match the light blue of the layout, then I'd say it's a nice arrow! --[[User:GoldenChaos|Jase]] 23:11, August 4, 2007 (UTC)
 
::OK, I recoloured it first in the [[Main Page|light blue text-box colour]] {{Red Link|File:External_link_icon.png}}. This looks quite dark, although I have always thought the arrow stood out a bit too much... Anyway, I did a second one with the [[Main Page|lighter blue used for the bullet points]] {{Red Link|File:External_link_icon_l.png}}, so I'm not sure which would be best, or if we should try something inbetween. --[[User:Adam660@legacy41957735|Adam]] 00:07, August 5, 2007 (UTC)
 
::: I was thinking the light blue used for the 2px borders. You'll see the color around the navigation boxes, etc. --[[User:GoldenChaos|Jase]] 12:33, August 5, 2007 (UTC)
 
::::OK, here's one using the [[Main Page|border colour]] {{Red Link|File:External link icon(final?).png}}, I quite like the look of this one. --[[User:Adam660@legacy41957735|Adam]] 14:43, August 5, 2007 (UTC)
 
:::::Looks good. I might make it a little brighter on my own, but other than that, I'll upload it in a little bit. --[[User:GoldenChaos|Jase]] 14:43, August 5, 2007 (UTC)
 
::::::Ok, well, whenever you get around to it, here is the css to implement it (put it in [[MediaWiki:Monobook.css]] or [[MediaWiki:Common.css]]):
<pre>a.external {
  background:url(http://www.zeldawiki.org/images/9/90/External_link_icon%28final%3F%29.png) center right no-repeat !important;
  padding-right:20px !important;
  padding-left:0px !important;
}</pre>
::::::That one uses Adamcox82's {{Red Link|File:External link icon(final?).png}}, so you would need to replace the URL in the parenthesis with the URL of the final version if you aren't using that one. --[[User:Skizzerz989@legacy41957926|Skizzerz]] <sup>[[User talk:Skizzerz989@legacy41957926|Talk]] - [[Special:Contributions/Skizzerz989@legacy41957926|Contribs]]</sup> 23:58, August 8, 2007 (UTC)
 
==Template Problems==
The templates seem to be glitching. I have already edited the 'character', 'boss' and 'game' templates to fix the glitches I have found but there may be more templates that I am unaware of. If you see something glitching could you let me know, or you can fix it yourself if you know how. --[[User:Knil|Knil]] 01:57, August 25, 2007 (UTC)

==Image Problems==

:::The image problem has to do with whether or not we use ImageMagick or GD to process the images when resized. I know all about the problem and how to fix it - the problem was that, on the new server, ImageMagick was not installed. Therefore, I installed it. Problem solved. However, I DO realize that there are some problems creating very large thumbnails, which I will deal with. --[[User:GoldenChaos|Jase]] 23:33, August 27, 2007 (UTC)

::::::If you haven't noticed yet, I did a temporary fix. I'm going to call the server guys about why Imagemagick wasn't working properly.

I think there should be a navigation box or whatever you call them to inform people that a picture/article is currently or has been nominated to be featured.  Similar to what Wikipedia does.

You guys should really get rid of Zelda Insider as an affiliate. He has stolen content from sites like Zelda Chronicles and a few others. And whats worse is that he lies about it. {{Unsigned|Chrono@legacy41957515|22:54, October 3, 2006 (UTC)}}

Historically, these kind of projects have been undertaken independently (by myself and others) and completed without any overseeing or collaboration.

:I deleted the images. Photos of footballers are not appropriate content for a non-sports computer game wiki. This is not facebook; you can't just upload any old images you want, or that you think are "cool" (or "mint"). Fanart is not acceptable (at least not in articles). Non game-related images are widely unacceptable; with the exception being 1-2 images to personalise your user page. Just keep it on-topic and you won't find things being deleted or reverted.

Has anyone seen the picture from http://www.zelda2008.com/ yet?  I just recently discovered it, and it's been going around this is possibly from the new game planned for the Wii.  It's titled "Where All Roads Meet," and its shiny tiled floors and the reflection in them makes the doorway look remarkably like the Door of Time to me.  Does anyone else think that's what it could be?  Or does anyone else have any ideas as to what it could mean for the new game?  [[User:Christopher-gpuser|Link87]] 18:51, 21 December 2007 (EST) {{Small|(Moved to talk page by [[User:Adam660@legacy41957735|Adam660]])}}


:To be honest, when I first saw that site about a month ago, I thought it was fake. I still do, though I have to say it's odd that the image has changed in the meantime (it used to be Link's face and something else at first). It's too soon for a new zelda, especially a 3D one. At the end of 2008, I'm not expecting more than a few screenshots and trailers which eventually will be nothing like the game. Also, I find it odd there's no japanese equilavent to that site to be found on the internet. Odd, as each zelda game first gets a japanese site up and then later an english one.

::Has it been said when they first began working on the new Zelda for the Wii?  I know it's been in planning, but I haven't heard what they've started on as of yet or when. If they had been preparing a few things ahead of time, it could be a teaser nonetheless. Although you have a good point about the Japanese site. I do remember Miyamoto saying that this next Zelda would be drastically different from any Zelda experience we have experienced yet to date. However, if this picture does have a connection to the new game, it could indicate that it might take place around the time of Ocarina of Time since the Door of Time is still intact and apparently the Temple of Time that contains it, unless it was rebuilt following the Twilight Invasion of course.  As to the absence of a companion Japanese site though, I cannot be sure, but has anyone ever found one to your knowledge?  It could very well be a fake (as we see many all the time), however this rendition of the Door of Time seems unique, and as you said before, the image was different mere weeks ago. Like you, I wasn't expecting another Zelda in 2008, more like 2009/2010. I mean it'd be awesome if it did, but I tend to doubt it seeing as Miyamoto has a habit of severely critiquing the games up to the very last minute, even ordering them to be completely redone if it doesn't meet his standards. I'd say the only way these images could be real is if they had been working on the game in the background for some time, perhaps even in the final stages of Twilight Princess's production. Have you heard any news about where they are with the new game or how long they've actually been working on it?  [[User:Christopher-gpuser|Link87]] 07:36, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
::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@legacy41958113|Claire]] 03:59, February 2, 2008 (UTC)


:::For as far as I know, there is no japanese equilavent. As for news on when the game is released: There is none. That's a big issue as well. Nintendo tends to keep their projects secret until they really have to start (based on original release date)getting people interested. They are one of the few companies that knows how easily original ideas are stolen and put in another game just before they can release theirs. Also, they release info in a place where it can be seen (pretty pointless otherwise). Has an official Nintendo site refered to that site in a link? I don't think so. It's just too early for another 3D Zelda that has to make full use of the Wii controller (and they better make Link a lefty again).<br/>But regardless of whether it is fake or not, I tend to think, does it matter? Before TP was released, many where like "OMG, this is after OOT so Link is gonna die and the whole world will be flooded at the end". With all info released prior to PH, people were like "OMG, the Gerudo (Jolene) return" and something odd about Bellum being a creature created or awakened by Ganondorf. Those rumors have no value. What is wrong with just waiting for the game and seeing what it is all about when playing it, instead of trying to figure it out before it is released. Nintendo would get a star from me if the next 3D Zelda game would not be about the main story (like MM, OOx and TMC), but I'm near confident it will be about the goddesses, the triforce, hyrule and all elements of the main story again (so, the DoT is not unlikely to appear).

=={{TP|-}} 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. {{Unsigned|Hisak@legacy41957245|04:42, December 31, 2006 (UTC)}}

Wiki Creation

Peefy: And it's starting to take a good shape. An excellent shape to be frank. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Peefy@legacy41957194 (talk) 15:45, April 25, 2005 (UTC)

Category Links

To be able to link to Categories without making them look like external links, just write what you would as if you were categorising a page and then put a colon infront of Category. Category:Zelda voila. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ian Moody@legacy41957231 (talk) 13:48, May 17, 2005 (UTC)

Public Sandbox

I made a sandbox here for people to experiment with editing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ian Moody@legacy41957231 (talk) 11:13, May 20, 2005 (UTC)

Creating Categories

Ah... Something to keep me busy. ^_^ Kudos to you, ZU, for coming up with this brilliant idea! Come to think of it, didn't I suggest something like this a year or so ago? Oh well, it doesn't matter.
I am pleased to officially (officially, hah!) announce that I will treat any and all articles of questionable grammar with utmost care. Please, if anyone has something s/he doesn't want to take care of right away, you should notify me. I find an odd enjoyment in editting the work of others. I don't understand it, but it should greatly benefit this latest addition to ZU. BTW, hi Peefy! :D
I have one quick question, though... Is there any way for low-clearance members to creat a new category? I would like to create one titled "Gamer Terminology" that will give definitions of terms and abbreviations that not everyone might understand.
Your Loyal Zelda Fan,

Image Problems

I have a question, i try to upload an image all the time but it fails me every time i try it.
I tried it with every type of fyle, GIF, JPG etc.
Does anyone know how to upload it correctly?
Thanks in advance. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Robokat@legacy41957322 01:29, July 1, 2005 (UTC)

Can someone please give me an answer to my question?
I want to know it :( —Preceding unsigned comment added by Robokat@legacy41957322 01:12, July 3, 2005 (UTC)

From your description there is no way to know what is going wrong, you need to give more details. Ian Moody 13:21, July 3, 2005 (UTC)
I am also having trouble uploading images. I tryed to upload twinmold and it said
Internal error
Could not copy file "/tmp/phpYbGUjM"
to "/home/zunet/public_html/wiki/images/f/fa/Twinmold.png". —Preceding unsigned comment added by MadeyeMike@legacy41957328 00:09, July 6, 2005 (UTC)
All fixed. --GoldenChaos 00:14, July 16, 2005 (UTC)

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)

Disppearing Pages

I added some pages eailer today, and I just came back and they were all gone. I checked the log and it dosen't say they were deleted so I was wandering what happened? —Preceding unsigned comment added by MadeyeMike@legacy41957328 04:23, October 3, 2005 (UTC)

The server seems to have been generally a bit weird lately, loads of edits keep disappearing and then reappearing later on or the next day. Ian Moody 21:08, October 3, 2005 (UTC)

Other Website Links

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. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.209.105.72 17:45, December 26, 2005 (UTC)

The reason is that this is the Zelda Universe Wiki, unique to ZU. That, and no one has asked. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.250.230.216 06:33, January 8, 2006 (UTC)

French Wiki

Hi,
I would like know if this wiki can be translated in another language for example in french? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.136.239.218 22:22, February 23, 2006 (UTC)

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 18:25, February 14, 2008 (UTC)

Zelda Insider

You guys should really get rid of Zelda Insider as an affiliate. He has stolen content from sites like Zelda Chronicles and a few others. And whats worse is that he lies about it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chrono@legacy41957515 22:54, October 3, 2006 (UTC)

Do you have proof of this? That's quite a claim. --Jase 01:45, October 4, 2006 (UTC)
Yes, I own Zelda Chronicles and he stole my guides. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chrono@legacy41957515 02:59, October 4, 2006 (UTC)
I meant more along the lines of physical proof. --Jase 21:53, October 4 2006 (UTC)
You will get your proof once he comes back online (meaning his site). For some reason it has been down ever since he was caught stealing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chrono@legacy41957515 21:59, October 6, 2006 (UTC)
Im just going to close this topic for now. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chrono@legacy41957515 02:09, October 7, 2006 (UTC)

Wiki Navigation

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. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chrono@legacy41957515 07:27, October 7, 2006 (UTC)

And also, since this is the community wiki now, you think we should create a new template for it? Make it more zelda-ish... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chrono@legacy41957515 21:39, October 7, 2006 (UTC)

The easiest way to locate an article is to use the search feature. As for skin, GoldenChaos is working on it. --Yumil 00:33, October 9, 2006 (UTC)
...after I repair my compy that caught fire ;) --Jase 01:32, October 9, 2006 (UTC)

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 —Message time was unrecorded by author; message posted on 15:28, October 23, 2006 (UTC)
