Ideas

Yeah, to answer you on the stuff (That once was) above:
  • On that particular theory, it's actually already linked to in it's entirety here. I think that's the way to go - either state it as a reference within an article, or include a summary of the theory within the most elevant article, as appropriate for the situation. Creating a new page for a particular theory would be less good (ouch, that's some horrible grammar ;) ), given that the current trend is towards combining like subjects rather than fragmenting.
  • With the glitches however, I'd say it's time to consider separating them as you've suggested. I could see it working in the format of Glitches in The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, so we'd end up with one subdivided master-article for each game, specific relevant sections of which could then be linked to from other articles as appropriate. This would be consistent with the treatment of other areas of game-specific content such as characters, items, dungeons etc.
And to answer the question that I've just posed to myself after re-reading my two very different answers on two fairly similar topics, I'd say this; personally I feel this will be the best way to handle each of these. Whereas glitches are highly game-specific and factual in nature, theories are much more subjective, layered, hierarchical, complex, game-independant... in short, difficult to handle! So I'd say that the current solution gives them the correct amount of prominence, and keeps them tied to the most relevant factual information. P.S. Sorry for being so dull and long-winded ;) --Adamcox82 19:23, 29 April 2008 (UTC)Reply[reply]
No problem. Your answer is good... Don't be sorry, you're doing a great job. :P. Regarding the glitches, I will use the suggested titles, and get to work on that when I have free time. Obviously MQ and OoT should probably be one page, though MQ has glitches OoT doesn't such as the water temple one I told you, but I still think the one page. Your opinion... Also, I think it is important everyone posting glitches follows the same structure, for example:Glitch Title, Which game version it was performed in, Difficulty/ tries it takes, what it does, and how to do it, and pictures on the right appreciated. Where's somewhere that I can put that template, so that people editing the glitch pages when I make them will use the same structure... I also think it is important that users don't just get glitches from the internet, but only put on ones they have done themselves. For example, I've heard of glitches that can complete the MQ water temple even quicker, but I told you the one that I have used, and know it works. So yeah, where do you think is best to put that so people know? --Melchizedek 22:36, 29 April 2008 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Thanks for the advice

Wow. PH has multiplayer mode. How does that work? Sweet, I'm checking out this new page of yours. I knew FSA could have up to four players, but..cool. And by the way. I'm here anytime you want advice... --Melchizedek
"I'm surprised nothing existed concernin PH's multiplayer mode."
That, sir, is why the Multiplayer page exists. :P I should add a link to the Battle Mode article in there, shouldn't I? --Ando (T) 01:39, 30 April 2008 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Yeah, I found that multiplayer page. I think the page could be worked and made better. I hate the short page of ZW that more could be put into. So Axiomist, the page exists, but probably needs a bit of work. So feel free to do that... --Melchizedek 05:08, 30 April 2008 (UTC)Reply[reply]
