Hi! I'm Matt — one of your local sysops. If you have a question for me, ask it here. I like to keep conversations in one place. If you ask a question here, I will respond here. If I tell or ask you something on another page, please respond on that page!. Trust me, I'll be able to see that you responded just fine. In fact, it is actually fairly hard for me not to notice as I put those pages in my watch list.
Note: The above notice displays as a rectangle in most browsers. But in Firefox it has smooth, rounded edges, as shown here.

ZU Contributor Banner

For the banner, you said to give you a word here to confirm that it is indeed me after leaving a vistor message at ZU. It is I, jwalraven from ZU . Now that the holidays are over, I can get back to grammar edits. Jwalraven 03:32, 18 January 2009 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Name Change

Since I'm an asshole and cannot search, is there any way to change my name to "fratey"? --linkeylinkeylinkey. 19:37, 15 January 2009 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I got Mases to do it. Only bureaucrats have access to the rename feature.User:Matt/sig 23:43, January 15, 2009 (UTC)

Administrator

Wow I must've missed a lot yesterday, I didn't even know you became an admin, congrats =) User:MARKOL/sig 20:31, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

It happened only a few hours ago. You didn't miss much.User:Matt/sig 20:35, November 25, 2008 (UTC)
Woe, I just noticed, so congratulations. It's defintealy something that you deserve. User:Melchizedek/sig 20:41, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

Congratulations!--Link hero of light 15:44, 26 November 2008 (UTC)Reply[reply]

For the sake of not looking like some kind of jerk who's not happy for you or anything, congrats. :P User:Ando/sig 15:57, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
Now who would think that? Considering that it was you that did the honors.
Thanks to all.User:Matt/sig 16:24, November 26, 2008 (UTC)

So you're an sysop now, that's totally cool man ;-) Congrats! User:The Sage of Cosmos/sig 18:21, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

The log of the promotion is here.User:Matt/sig 18:29, November 26, 2008 (UTC)
A little late, but congrats nonetheless ;)

I figured that I'd let Mases and Adam decide for themselves if they wanted the new user activeness state.User:Matt/sig 15:10, November 29, 2008 (UTC) Bold text

Signature

Ok. So I ended my sig with (font color=#9099AA) (but between html tags, of course). Then when I sign with ~ ~ ~ ~, I add a (/font) at the end. Basically, it makes the date and time stamp the same color as my sig. Would that be frowned upon? I would just have to be sure to end my ~ ~ ~ ~ with the (/font) every time, or it'll turn the whole page from that point on, blue. Man, I edited it for like 2 seconds, and you noticed. You are one darn observant sysop ;). I was typing this out when you edited on my talk page. Ya, so would you recommend against that? User:Light Knight/sig 02:28, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

Okay. So you want it like mine. Well, you can't do that in your signature. You have to do it in the signature box in your preferences.
Here is what I typed in it to get mine:
{{subst:User:Matt/sig2}} <span style="color:#C0C0C0;">{{subst:CURRENTTIME}}, {{subst:CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{subst:CURRENTDAY}}, {{subst:CURRENTYEAR}} (UTC)</span>
So if you do yours like that it should work. Just make sure that the color doesn't draw too much attention.User:Matt/sig 02:36, November 28, 2008 (UTC)
Could I add all of what you just posted at the end of my sig, and only sign with three ~'s?User:Light Knight/sig 02:51, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
Yep, just copy that and use your color. Then all you need to do to use it is use three tildes. That is what I do.User:Matt/sig 02:57, November 28, 2008 (UTC)
Remember to put it in the signature box in the preferences. Not in your sig template.User:Matt/sig 03:00, November 28, 2008 (UTC)
Alright, I'm don't understand why. But that's were it'll go. Not tonight though. User:Light Knight/sig 03:17, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
Alright, thanks, I'm tired and I didn't feel like copy pasting and writting the Hex codes again.User:Light Knight/sig 03:49, November 28, 2008 (UTC)

Hi, I noticed that you deleted my sig page. And I recreated it, and finally understood why you did. I ended up making 3 pages: Sig, Sig3 and User:DisappearingMist/sig2 I think I have the process figured out now. Can you delete the first 2, and maybe the third if that needs to be done? So I can start over without screwing anything else up? Sorry for your trouble! Thanks! DisappearingMist 21:02, 19 January 2009 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I messed up worse when I first joined in my opinion. So will do.User:Matt/sig 21:05, January 19, 2009 (UTC)
Haha, thank you! DisappearingMist 21:07, 19 January 2009 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Nominating

How many articles and or pictures can 1 person nominate at a time? I probably wont nominate more than one but im just curious.--HeroOfTime6 03:33, 28 November 2008 (UTC)Reply[reply]

As many as you want as long as it is under the page's limit. For articles, you can do it so long as there are not already four up. For images, you can do it so long as there are not already six up. You should make sure that they fit the guidelines at the top of the voting pages before nominating them though.
But don't nominate any images at the moment. The technical problems we are having will prevent it from working correctly. User:Matt/sig 03:40, November 28, 2008 (UTC)

Thanks

Yeah, Moderator I suppose. I have a Grand Theft Wiki page, but I'm still figuring out this Wiki and that Wiki. Wish me luck. --Krayhn 00:18, 29 November 2008 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Yeah, I only became an admin a few days ago. Keep at it and it could happen to you too.User:Matt/sig 00:21, November 29, 2008 (UTC)
Well I only know a little about the wiki stuff. I know alot about Zelda and GTA. I'mma try to get Mod or Admin. Matts are so inspiring, eh? :DTemplate:Nosig
I didn't know much about wiki stuff when I joined either. I learned.User:Matt/sig 01:04, November 29, 2008 (UTC)

Your edits always seem to be cleaner than mine. :P Zien 02:03, 29 November 2008 (UTC)Reply[reply]

That is just experience. You'll learn.User:Matt/sig 02:12, November 29, 2008 (UTC)

Glitch Pages

I really like having the Youtube videos on the Majora's Mask Glitch page, so good work. I think that's something we should do across the whole glitch category, and will over time. User:Melchizedek/sig 07:49, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

I was fixing something else there and I saw the YouTube links. So I thought I might as well turn the links into embedded videos.User:Matt/sig 07:51, November 29, 2008 (UTC)
Well good stuff. It really makes the page look better, instead of just heaps of text, like a picture would act. It'd be good if we can get a video for every glitch, but as for the time being the Ocarina of Time Glitch Page could do with some, so I'll add them in when I can! (PS: Looks like it's time for another archive hey?)User:Melchizedek/sig 07:59, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
Sounds like a plan.User:Matt/sig 08:06, November 29, 2008 (UTC)
PS:I was just thinking that too. I'll do that soon. That list is getting long.
I like the nice rounded edge rectangle (Go Firefox)... anyway, again just wanting to say great job with the Template for the Glitch pages. I like it. I just added in Master Quest too, and yes MQ does have quite a few glitches not in OoT, such as own the water temple in 40 seconds! User:Melchizedek/sig 22:59, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

Youtube Videos

Would you be able to give me a quick tutorial on adding You Tube videos as you did to the Majora's Mask Glitch Page. I want to add this video here to Glitches in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Master Quest. Thanks...User:Melchizedek/sig 23:20, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

Okay, here you go. Take a look at the Youtube link. It is:

http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHDDGuYCIgo

There are two parts to this link. All that concerns you is what is after the equals sign. This is the video's unique ID. This ID is the same no matter what Youtube site you find it on. Be it the American, British, Australian, etc.

This unique ID is the most important part of the whole template. Without that, nothing else matters. But you should also specify how wide, in pixels, you want the video to be. Also, you can specify which side you want it to be on. Here are examples:

  • {{Youtube|ZHDDGuYCIgo|256}}
  • {{Youtube|ZHDDGuYCIgo|256|left}}
  • {{Youtube|ZHDDGuYCIgo|256|right}}

You can also put a caption on the video if you want, but then, you have to specify a side as well:

  • {{Youtube|ZHDDGuYCIgo|256|right|Glitch}}

That about sums it up.User:Matt/sig 23:40, November 29, 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for that. I got it working. Looks good. By the way, I only just noticed your message about that at the ZU Lounge. User:Melchizedek/sig 05:04, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

Other Chit-Chat

I was thinking. Maybe Zelda Wiki could have a FAQ chatbox/room. I was going for an FAQ artical, but then thought of how much of a pain it would be to scroll down the page. Any question that was not answered in the "Help" section, could be answered there. It would be like ZU's chatroom, but for more of a helping purpose then just talking. *Just thought of something else.* Maybe Zelda Wiki could also have a chatroom? [This one, just to chat.] It could also home some chatter upon how to help Zelda Wiki.org, etc... Zien 22:16, 30 November 2008 (UTC)Reply[reply]

We do have one. It is here: Special:IRC.User:Matt/sig 22:19, November 30, 2008 (UTC) User:Adam/sig 13:37, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

My page

Uh.... I was playing around was playing with my page, an image of the Triforce. Could you tell me what it looks like? Be honest.-- User:Mandi/sig 17:26, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

Looks okay. If you want to resize it to the same width as the userboxes you can. Userboxes are 238px wide.User:Matt/sig 17:33, December 1, 2008 (UTC)
You have a picture gallery, Could I do one of those?-- User:Mandi/sig 17:43, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
Well, the gallery is of the images I uploaded. So if you want to make one like that then you could.User:Matt/sig 18:06, December 1, 2008 (UTC)

I have a rough idea, but how do you do that? I'm probably annoying the heck out of you....sorry. User:Mandi/sig 19:11, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

Mine is on a subpage because my main page is so huge. Yours is small enough that a gallery wouldn't get lost in it like mine would. All you need to do is format it like this:
<gallery>
Image:ImageA.png|Caption A
Image:ImageB.png|Caption B
Image:ImageC.png|Caption C
</gallery>
That is the basic format.User:Matt/sig 19:17, December 1, 2008 (UTC)
Thanks sysop ;-) User:Mandi/sig 19:39, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
Zanramon, wasn't he the one who put spam in everything? User:Mandi/sig 20:45, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
Spammed the chatroom a lot. Harassed a few members several times. Even after multiple blocks. And supposedly tried getting around the block by creating a new account twice.User:Matt/sig 20:48, December 1, 2008 (UTC)
Heh..heh..What did he..... I'm done. Mandi/sig 20:56, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

Never mind. That didn't turn out the way I wanted it to. User:Mandi/sig 20:57, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

I just downloaded Firefox, I have to say everything looks really great now. Clearer, you name it! I.E. sucks :/ But, I wanted to ask you something, are you able to ge back and forth from Internet Explorer to Firefox? User:Mandi/sig 23:04, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

IE should still work. Good change. You'll grow to love Firefox. Also, you can look at my Firefox Hints page to get some ideas on what add-ons to get.User:Matt/sig 23:08, December 1, 2008 (UTC)
This is my one and only issue: I can't access my e-mail from firefox or my home page for that matter :P I may not be doing something right, or it may be the fact that the're through Yahoo. User:Mandi/sig 23:27, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
That shouldn't happen. Try restarting the computer. That might help.User:Matt/sig 23:29, December 1, 2008 (UTC)
Eh...No. I tried restarting, but I still get the same thing. It is a Google page, with a searchbox and that's it :P There is no link for a yahoo home page or e-mail. When I press login, I get a registration for gmail. So IE still works. Whatever. User:Mandi/sig 23:57, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
Never mind, I got it working like I want it now. All I had to do was type Yahoo into the searchbox. I seriously lack common sense :P How did I make it this long on the Wiki? User:Mandi/sig 01:07, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

Hey Matt i sent you a friend request on facefook--HeroOfTime6 04:05, 3 December 2008 (UTC)Reply[reply]

vandals

pssst Matt i currently have a suspected vandal. Be on the lookout for User ILoVeSaSuKe.--HeroOfTime6 03:21, 4 December 2008 (UTC)Reply[reply]

SSBB

I was looking at the Super Smash Bros. Brawl this user plays as userboxes, and I noticed were missing quite a few characters, is there anyway to add more?--HeroOfTime6 13:26, 4 December 2008 (UTC)Reply[reply]

The list of what is in it is here. The code isn't exactly simple, but more could be added.User:Matt/sig 16:23, December 4, 2008 (UTC)

Question

Matt who is the actual creator of ZeldaWiki I'm just curious.--HeroOfTime6 00:12, 5 December 2008 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Jason.User:Matt/sig 00:21, December 5, 2008 (UTC)

Changing "You" to "Link"

There is a lot of ways you could do this but I don't really know which ones to change. For example: Some say "you" will have to get Link's bow. Others will explain how "you" should defeat an enemy. Help me understand this concept.--HeroOfTime6 19:43, 8 December 2008 (UTC)Reply[reply]

There really isn't a trick to it. Best advice is to just leave something that you can't quite understand an move on to others. Someone else will get around to it. This way, we get more things done.User:Matt/sig 22:25, December 8, 2008 (UTC)

Green Links

They've been around the whole time I've been on ZW, but I haven't yet asked, so what's the go with the underlined green links, because they are quite annoying with their pop ups. User:Melchizedek/sig 09:18, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

Those are ads that Jason put on the site about two years ago. You can go here to disable them.User:Matt/sig 09:38, December 10, 2008 (UTC)
Awesome. Thanks. They are finally gone. :-D. Phew, I'm flying through heaps of edits tonight! (I need to remember to preview and leave summaries though)User:Melchizedek/sig 10:15, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

Your User Page

Okay I've decided to tackle your user page, and read it! I'm going in! :D I redesigned my navigation panel too, it looks way better. This be my 600th edit, too, so I'm on my way to a banner! User:Melchizedek/sig 11:47, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

It is indeed a good page, with some funny stuff. I love "Keyboard not connected properly, push any key to continue" or whatever it was. You knew Axiomist too, yeah he was cool, do you know why he's gone inactive? And finally I never would've thought that I've been on ZW longer than you. User:Melchizedek/sig 12:50, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

Template

Hey Matt, could you help me out here. Why is my ZU template not centering? User:Light Knight/sig04:12, December 11, 2008 (UTC)

Might just be the template. I'll look at it.User:Matt/sig 04:16, December 11, 2008 (UTC)
Got it.User:Matt/sig 04:22, December 11, 2008 (UTC)
Oops. Sorry about that... didn't centre it up again. I'm guessing you guys like it a user box size! User:Melchizedek/sig 04:27, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
Yes I like the size. And thanks Matt! User:Light Knight/sig04:41, December 11, 2008 (UTC)
That's great!User:Melchizedek/sig 04:53, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

Image Deletion Policy

After just uploading some images for userboxes, I noticed that on the Upload File page, there is a prominent broken link to the Zelda Wiki.org:File deletion policy. Do you know what's happening with that page? User:Melchizedek/sig 07:52, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

I don't remember ever seeing that before I deleted an image a few hours ago. I'll make that page.User:Matt/sig 07:57, December 11, 2008 (UTC)
Yeah, I'd never noticed it before, but it was prominent this time. Good that you're willing to write it up! User:Melchizedek/sig 07:59, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

Slingshot

Thanks for merging the slingshot articles. :-D User:Melchizedek/sig 10:46, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

Oracle images

Hey Matt, do you know any good places for characters in OoX (I would use the ones here, but it's hard do get rid of the white on the many that have white, feathered borders)? I was planning to render ones that I saw on Ganon's Tower, but their main site is down and is apparently closing 100% next year.User:MARKOL/sig 21:10, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

I don't know about the main site, but Ganon's Tower is not closing from what I have heard. The webmaster is stepping down and a new one is taking over. It has been a topic on the staff forum.
The best place for the images would be the GameHiker Image Gallery. It has plenty of decent ones.User:Matt/sig 22:48, December 15, 2008 (UTC)

Question

I really want to change my username is there anyway i can do that?--HeroOfTime6 04:18, 18 December 2008 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Yes. Jason can change it. Just tell me the exact name you want, then I'll direct him here.User:Matt/sig 06:09, December 18, 2008 (UTC)
Great! I was thinking Lt. Hammerspace--HeroOfTime6 17:52, 18 December 2008 (UTC)Reply[reply]
You positive? Jason won't like it if he has to change it again right away.User:Matt/sig 17:57, December 18, 2008 (UTC)
yep positive.--HeroOfTime6 18:09, 18 December 2008 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Request sent. Once you are renamed, the new name will be what you log in with. Also, you'll want to go back and change the links from the old userpage to the new one.User:Matt/sig 18:19, December 18, 2008 (UTC)

Sig

I was thinking about changing the talk icon on my sig. I just pretty much want it to be spaced away from the user name, and smaller. Would I go back to my sub-pages to do this? Or can I do it in preferences? Also what would I type? I'm thinking something like:
, But then again, I'm not sure.--User:Mandi/sig 19:49, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

Edit your sig page. I think this is what you'd want:
[[User:Mandi|Mandi]] (<small>[[User talk:Mandi|Talk]]</small>)
Try that.User:Matt/sig 20:10, December 18, 2008 (UTC)
Thanks Matt ;) It looks better now.[[User:Mandi|Mandi] (Talk) 20:25, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
Who is Dataforce? They added themself to my friend list :P I don't mind, but I also don't even know who they are.Reply[reply]

I guess that Dataforce must have really liked the welcome. I can't think of another explanation.User:Matt/sig 20:55, December 18, 2008 (UTC)

Crap! Crap what? It's working fine...unless there is some kind of hidden problem that I can't see :P It taks me to the talk page, taht's all I care about. Thanks for your help though :) User:Mandi/sig

Banner?

How'd You get that banner thingy at the top of your page? I want it for my page but I don't know how to get it....Template:Nosig

Sorry for the slow response. I suppose you mean that navigation thing. Well... Just look in the section after this one.User:Matt/sig 16:52, December 22, 2008 (UTC)

Idea for Help Pages

After just helping The Goron Moron with making a navigation pane for herself, I had an idea. Maybe we should make a page under the advanced editig help section on how to make navigation banners, simliar to that of the step by step instructions on how to make a custom sig. What are your thoughts? User:Melchizedek/sig 09:08, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Yeah. It sound like that has to be done. They are getting to be quite popular. I made a template, User Nav. Perhaps that will suffice for now?User:Matt/sig 16:52, December 22, 2008 (UTC)
Indeed I think that page will come in handy, and yeah that should do for now. Do you think we should leave it circular, or make it square like on the Main Page? I think square, as that is probably the default people will go for, compared to the circularness which is like your special variation! User:Melchizedek/sig 23:05, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
I guess we should. It only works on Firefox anyway. And it isn't easy making the links work in the circles.User:Matt/sig 23:20, December 22, 2008 (UTC)
Okay, I made the Template square.. Another thought, should we make a User Nav category and whack all the nav panels in there, just like the custom sig category? User:Melchizedek/sig 23:40, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
I'm okay with that.User:Matt/sig 23:54, December 22, 2008 (UTC)
Will do now then... Is this eveyone that has one: Matt, Melchizedek, MARKOL, The Goron Moron, Yuvorias and the template? User:Melchizedek/sig 23:58, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

That sounds about right.User:Matt/sig 00:01, December 23, 2008 (UTC)

Cool, I've got them all. Would there be a point for someone putting the main page nav panel on a '_____/nav' page, or is it better to stay as it is? User:Melchizedek/sig 00:22, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
No, I don't think there would be a point to that. Since it is only on one page.User:Matt/sig 00:46, December 23, 2008 (UTC)
Okay! User:Melchizedek/sig 01:22, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

LOL WTF?

Ok, so I saved my sig, but every time my sig appears on a page, the page gets smaller. I do not know if only I can see it, or if everyone can. I can take a snapshot if I need to. (I am not marking this page with it so it will stay normal size.) -Zien

Hmm... Interesting. I'll take a look.User:Matt/sig 01:47, December 23, 2008 (UTC)
That should get it. You should be okay now. A couple tags were not closed. Most likely you accidentally overwrote them. I know I've done that a lot before.User:Matt/sig 01:51, December 23, 2008 (UTC)

My Userpage

Have a look at my userpage, I've just added the UserCharacter template. What can I do to get that lined up to the left of the page? User:Melchizedek/sig 08:49, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

Done.User:Matt/sig 08:56, December 23, 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for that...So it was just a simple |style="text-align: left"|. I shall remember. I think my userpage is getting better! User:Melchizedek/sig 08:58, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

Hi i'm Calibure, i'm new here and just read your user page, through most of it i was either giggling like a girl or luaghing like a maniac, well that was until i saw "Tingle Nut" i share your hate for him and he shouldn't be on zelda yet alone have his own game i mean doesn't nintendo know children play these games! while reading it I realised two things 1. combine these two together: "You got Marin! Is this your big chance?" 5 minutes later "Ha ha ha! Do it! Do it! Do it moooore! 2. the way to defeat a darknut in TWW is to break there armour off leaving there bear chest exposed right? well if you had to attack tingle nut... EEWWW!!! Calibure 12:18, 3 January 2009 (UTC)CalibureReply[reply]

Suggestion

I was thinking [maybe], there should be a page which shows Zelda Wiki.org's holiday decorations. I do not know if each decoration for a certain holiday will be different like Google's, but reguardless, what do you think? It would show when it was made, by whom, etc. A snap shot could be taken to show a picture of ZW.org, and how it looks with the new decoration skin. User:Zien/sig 00:26, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

Well, that really depends on how many themes we end up doing. If we do quite a few, then we'd likely do it. For now, I took a screen. I'll post it in the lounge at ZU.User:Matt/sig 01:00, December 24, 2008 (UTC)
I'd love to do more themes, and I'll hang on to the pictures too, just in case.User:MARKOL/sig 17:16, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

A few Things

I've just been thinking that it is probably a good idea to lock the Glitch Disclaimer Notes from general editing, and just allow admins and me if possible to edit it... but I can just inform you guys if there's any changes to add. So do you think it should be locked!

Secondly, this is in regards to image editing requests. I would've put it on the page, but it would've been massive. If you look down the Help:Userbox List there are heaps of images that should have backgrouns removed, which would indeed be a large project to complete. Some examples are Romani and Cremina or Yeto and Yeta or Anju. I'm sure you can see what I mean. Are you up to it! User:Melchizedek/sig 11:00, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

We'll see about locking the page. Steve and I can certainly get those images done.User:Matt/sig 13:36, December 25, 2008 (UTC)
Good stuff with the images... and more precisely what does 'we'll see' mean? User:Melchizedek/sig 23:24, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
Meaning that I'd need another admin to second it.User:Matt/sig 00:28, December 26, 2008 (UTC)
Let me know how you go with finding a seconder then! User:Melchizedek/sig 01:02, 26 December 2008 (UTC)

Page Trouble

The page Metroid Prime needs some help. I do not know if it is just me, but a box or two on the left are missing; and the page is shrunk. User:Zien/sig 23:23, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

Problem solved. It was some extraneous code in the Wikipedia template that was causing it.User:Matt/sig 01:02, December 28, 2008 (UTC)

Other Userboxes

Have you seen this? Help talk:Userbox List/Other User:Melchizedek/sig 23:27, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

Possible Vandal

Watch out for new user: [][][]. Could be a vandal and I could be wrong. But, keep an eye out. User:Mandi/sig 14:38, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

Hahahaha! Your computer apparently can't read Japanese. The username is "Rinku". User:Ando/sig 14:56, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

Sorry dude! It came up [][][]. To me, that's pretty much like, XXX. Again, I'm not on my laptop :P User:Mandi/sig 16:23, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

May I also add that I totally did the new Hi Template. I like how it's personalized with the user name, AND it's more informatory. User:The Sage of Cosmos/sig 16:32, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
Hmm... リンク‎. I've seen that name before. Perhaps just some fanatic that is also obsessed with Japanese like Ando here.User:Matt/sig 18:51, December 31, 2008 (UTC)
The person would of done something by now is he/she was a vandal... User:Zien/sig 19:11, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

Thanks again and again

Sorry you are having to do so many favors for me here. I know I'm rusty. :P But I do appreciate it.Axiomist 08:18, 3 January 2009 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Talk Archive

I was going to archive my talk page. Two questions, should I put it on a sub-page or a regular page? And could you give me the link? I just don't want to screw something up.--User:Mandi/sig

Subpage.
User talk:Mandi/Archive 1
Then, copy and paste this code into your normal talk page:
{{Archives|User2|Archive 1|Archive 1}}
That's it.User:Matt/sig 02:17, January 4, 2009 (UTC)
I did it. But, I think I did something wrong with the template.--User:Mandi/sig 04:13, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
Following the link might have helped. But it really doesn't matter. The template just needs to match the name. That is all. You can use the template to call it whatever you want. The first one has to be the actual name.User:Matt/sig 04:22, January 4, 2009 (UTC)
Sorry for being an idiot, and thank you.--User:Mandi/sig 04:28, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

Glitch Disclaimer Notes

Have you raised the issue of locking the Glitch Disclaimer Notes to any of the other admins? User:Melchizedek/sig 02:25, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

Well, from my understanding, they didn't think it was that important to do it. But they wouldn't really complain if it was since other policy pages are locked. So I think I will lock it.User:Matt/sig 04:22, January 4, 2009 (UTC)
Cool...thanks. Zien may want the Hack Disclaimer Notes locked similarly. User:Melchizedek/sig 04:54, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

Hello. I would like to ask for the ZW Contrib Banner for ZU please. User:Light Knight/sig19:45, January 4, 2009 (UTC)

Okay it isn't a no. But not a yes. It is a please wait. That was the ruling by the high court. (Steve, Ando, and myself.)User:Matt/sig 17:10, January 8, 2009 (UTC)

Friend List

You all know it. My friend list here is insanely out of date. So... who thinks they should be on it?User:Matt/sig 17:08, January 8, 2009 (UTC)

Me. :) User:Melchizedek/sig 08:42, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
Me too, please. User:Triforce of the Gods/sig 03:20, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
I wouldn't mind being a friend. The Goron Moron 04:25, 10 January 2009 (UTC)Reply[reply]
ME! I should be on there! Although, only if Jason and Nathan are NOT on there. I don't want to be on any list with them people. Mases 04:39, 10 January 2009 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Oh you know I should so be on your friends list by now. --Josh 05:02, 10 January 2009 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Jason's one to take revenge. So I'm afraid to remove him. This list grows. Even Jush wants in it. :P User:Matt/sig 05:07, January 10, 2009 (UTC)

Deletion Awareness

It seems like most of the pages here are no longer needed on the Wiki. I marked each each one (other then the zelda related ones) with deletion notices. I sugguest you look at them, and help us normies get rid of these. I also put a message on the talk page explaining some of the reason why ZW.org is better without them on their talk pages. User:Zien/sig 19:54, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

I think it is time my name is added to the list. I am not requesting it now, (because I have over 1000 edits) but because I think I've worked hard on the Wiki. If it is a 'not now', then I understand. I will continue editing as usual. Just as a reminded: I turbo-boosted the Glitch Project, started the Hack Project, reminded admins of overdue delete images, made the ZU clan page to allow the ZWCP (or whatever it is called) to start, edited countless images & pages, and much more. So, Matt... is it a 'yes', or 'wait'? User:Zien/sig 03:06, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

Provided that Aeffles responds and doesn't ignore me again. Then yes. I've already sent it in earlier today.User:Matt/sig 03:37, January 10, 2009 (UTC)
Thank you. I will continue to edit well after the banner is under the name. You sent a request earlier, before I even asked! :O Wow, am I that good? :P I know I am still a little bit of a newb, but I did not expect for that to hapepen! User:Zien/sig 03:58, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

FYI, please read, thanks! User:Adam/sig 23:23, 10 January 2009 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Sig and Avy

If you look at my user page... are my signature and avatar appearing as Linebeck or Sheik to you? User:Melchizedek/sig 02:22, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

Oh... It's good now. It's weird thoug, when I upload a new version of a file, I have to wait a few hours for it to register. User:Melchizedek/sig 08:16, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
You use IE or Firefox?User:Mandi/sig
There are way more than just those two. But as my userpage says... Firefox... the better browser! User:Melchizedek/sig 10:22, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

PC Troubles

My PC bit the dust. It no longer works at all. We're trying to get a new one. I might not be able to get on much at all for a while. I'm on my dad's right now.User:Matt/sig 00:48, January 13, 2009 (UTC)

That was fast. Got a new one now. It is much better than the last one. Better than either of my parent's computers actually. It has a number pad! You know what that means. WIDE SCREEN! It is sweet.User:Matt/sig 18:42, January 13, 2009 (UTC)

Glitches in game Listings

You obviously know how the main game pages (OoT/MM/LoZ etc:) have the listings section (Items, Dungeons etc:). Glitches is something perfect to add to that section, but I'm wondering whether you think I should do it yet, or we should wait until the glitch cateogry is neater/ more presentable.User:Melchizedek/sig 00:19, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

I'm going to do it.User:Melchizedek/sig 09:52, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

Internal Server Error

I only get this when I try to save an edit at the Glitches In The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess page:

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request. Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@zeldawiki.org and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error. More information about this error may be available in the server error log. Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request. Apache/2.2.11 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.11 OpenSSL/0.9.7a mod_bwlimited/1.4 Server at www.zeldawiki.org Port 80

I can't save any edits there because the error keeps comming up, and stops in from showing up in the recent changes area. Maybe you could ask Jason,or something? User:Zien/sig 02:26, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

Some other errors are happening. This is may be related to recent updates made to the server. The staff has been told.User:Matt/sig 04:14, January 21, 2009 (UTC)
The same error is also on the Glitches in The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask when you try to edit or preview it. I haven't noticed it anywhere else.User:Melchizedek/sig 22:25, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

Suggestion

Right under the words 'Recent Changes', there are two boxes. In the top box, there are links to help users know about the staff, logs, usercounts, etc... But, I think this should also be on the list. Who would want to have to use the search box for something they don't even understand? Other then making it easier to find, it also it just as important as any of the other links. By no means does there have to be fifty million links in that little box, but I think ZW.org needs the link there. Do you agree? User:Zien/sig 00:50, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

Centering

What is the best way/ template to use to get the text in my nav panel horizontally in the centre between the avatar and links?User:Melchizedek/sig 07:35, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

Hello

You said hi, I thought I would return the favor. Also, a question: Is there a quick resource I can see so I can learn how to write things in this that are more in-depth than just stubs? I'd love to learn how to work the tables and stuff.Inflexus 06:21, 25 January 2009 (UTC)Reply[reply]

You can start in Help:Contents. The help guides are not exactly complete. So you'd have to ask me directly for anything beyond that. Tables are not exactly easy. I'll make one right here. you can edit this section to see it.


Table Header
Column A Column B
Data A1 Data B2
Data A2 Data B2
Just look at that to see the basic concept behind it.User:Matt/sig 06:50, January 25, 2009 (UTC)

Fixing Wanted Pages

Me and JJ think that we need to go though all the Special: Wanted Pages and get rid of all the crap we don't need. That's where a lot of these new crap pages are coming from, such as a Kokiri boy was a part of a quote. Thoughts!User:Melchizedek/sig 23:14, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

What???

Do you know what's going on here? User:Suiseiseki/monobook.cssUser:Melchizedek/sig 05:45, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

Princess Ruto References

I didn't realise they were so important. Some of them seemed uneeded. --Link hero of light 17:33, 7 February 2009 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Well well well, it seems that Twilightinthedark at the Wiki...is also twilightindark at ZU! What are the odds of that?! Just here to confirm my account on Zelda Wiki. Hope to hear from ya soon. Twilightinthedark 04:19, 11 February 2009 (UTC)Reply[reply]
