Notice Templates by Game

Hey William,

Thanks for helping out with this project. It's much appreciated. :) — Hylian King [*] 06:47, 23 May 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Of course, I am happy to help out! William (Talk) 06:49, 23 May 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]

New Project

So here's that new template I was talking about: Template:ExpGame. The goal is to replace instances of Template:Exp with this new template, in infoboxes and Names in Other Regions. Like so.

See Template:ExpGame for more info on why this is an important step forward. If you have any questions please let me know.

Hope you're interested in helping out! (It's totally cool if you aren't, though.) — Hylian King [*] 05:23, 25 May 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]

References Sections

Please stop inserting new reference sections reliant on the non-existant template "Template:Reflist". Most, if not all, articles have reference sections already, and those sections should already be making use of the existant templates Template:Ref and Template:Refbar depending on the article's needs (if they're not, they should be converted to one of them). --Shiningpikablu252 (talk) 20:10, 25 May 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I didn't know I was doing that. Must have been something AWB was doing. Still ironing out the bugs with that. William (Talk) 22:20, 25 May 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]
My bad, I forgot to tell you to disable "general fixes" in the Options tab. Most of these do not apply to Zelda Wiki and should not be used.
Also, you might want to change the AWB script to remove two empty newlines above the Reflist section. Your edits are leaving two extra new lines in the article that can cause gaps. Example Not a big deal, but still... — Hylian King [*] 02:09, 26 May 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I figured that out. I unchecked it the first time I ran it, but I was rushing around so much this morning that I forgot to uncheck it, so now I have it set to remove it (The reflist that it added). At least half of the pages I told it to edit (4000 pages) have already been processed, so I don't think changing the rule now will make too much of a difference. William (Talk) 02:26, 26 May 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]
No worries. Are you using a text replace to remove reflist? — Hylian King [*] 02:34, 26 May 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Yes. Why, is that bad? William (Talk) 02:38, 26 May 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]
No, it's fine. But if you could modify it so that it removes the two extra newlines, that would be great. If not, don't worry about it. I've set a bot to remove them. — Hylian King [*]
How would I fix that, just put two lines before the piece I need to get rid of? William (Talk) 02:45, 26 May 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Precisely. — Hylian King [*] 02:51, 26 May 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Okay, I just set it. What do you have your auto save delay set at? William (Talk) 03:13, 26 May 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]
