This is the page if you want to talk to me, leave comments, ask questions or really 'whatever floats ya boat' that relates to me. And I'll keep this page nice and clean, and delete expired messages. So please, don't hesitate, and edit away...
Ideas
Hi there! At the risk of sounding like some "voice of authority", I feel I have to point out a few things in relation to your ideas for improvement of the wiki:
- Walkthroughs for all Games
- It is a matter of general agreement that this wiki is not the place for strategy/walkthroughs. For this purpose, we operate a reciprocal arrangement with strategywiki.org.
- Glitch lists, and Instructions for all Games
- A good idea would also be to formalise the formatting/placement of these, as there are a number in various locations around the place.
- 100% Completion Checklists for all games
- See point 1 above.
- Theories: Search the internet for every descent theory and give 'em a page
- To be treated very carefully. Theories are opinions, and opinions cause conflict. We have a very strongly segregated "timeline theory" area, and display some of the most widely accepted/acknowledged theories within some articles (always within a clearly labelled non-factual section). I'm not saying don't add them, just to remember that this is an encyclopedia of facts, and not a pamphlet of ideas and musings ;P
That said, I'm sure there are others who would disgree with any/all of the above, and such is the nature of a wiki! I only point out what seems to be the majority/longstanding opinion on such matters :) --Adamcox82 18:34, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
- Oh, thanks so much. I was going to raise the points in Hyrule Castle to get a 'professional' opinion, but you've answered, so thanks. I don't know how you came across my user page, but thanks for reading. And by the way, it's not a 'risk' being a voice of authority to me, "A wise man heeds counsel from the authorities." You could say that's something I go by... To quickly just go over my ideas...
- Walkthroughs: Okay, won't do. Strategywiki sure does have that down pack. I looked around, and the game pages link to that wiki, so that's good, and settled. I'll remember to link to strategy wiki if the situation arises.
- Glitches: I've noticed that some games have full pages on glitches, some just have them on the bottom, other pages aka Fierce Deity Mask I've seen have glitches on the bottom, so I'd be happy to formulate what I can find into specific game pages. I noticed strategywiki, has a glitch link for each game, but the pages don't exist yet.. So just clarifying, is going ahead with making specific glitch pages okay?
- Checklists: Will link, and leave up to strategywiki.
- Theories. Will do as you said, and be careful. I think there are some great theories out there, for example [1] which I think deserves a page. But definately, I won't give everything a page, just those good ones... Can you tell me if you think that linked theory for example, deserves a page...?
- Once again, thanks for telling me all that... It's good to have dedicated sysops...Also, I've updates my wiki ideas on my user page, according to your comments..
Regards,
