::The main navigation is currently a place holder for the main page. We are not going to have what is currently on the front page for much longer. The staff have been running through many ideas in regards to the main page, and we're working on a solution. Eventually, all of the main pages in the main header of the site will be replaced with links to the Wiki which will really increase page views and viewers. Thanks for your concern though. — {{User:David/Sig}} 15:58, April 21, 2012 (CDT)

== Announcement Request ==
Can someone please make an announcement on the main page that asks people to start editing the wiki again? I think I'm the only user that is making new pages, fixing typos, etc. And there is so little information about Link Between Worlds, so many stub articles, and so many wanted pages. I can't do it all by myself. <br/>
<br/>
Correction: I'm not the only user editing, but not many people are editing. [[User:ZD Wiki Editor|ZD Wiki Editor]] ([[User talk:ZD Wiki Editor|talk]]) 05:26, May 9, 2016 (UTC)
:Most wikis slow down over time. Especially small ones. It's part of the process. We're expecting a surge of activity when the next console game is released. In the meantime though, announcements on the main page asking people to edit really aren't going to help. Instead I've already suggested some other promotions we can try in our staff chat. We'll see where those go. It's been uncomfortably slow for a while.— {{User:Matt/Sig}} 14:49, May 10, 2016 (UTC)
I hope the editing speeds up son. [[User:ZD Wiki Editor|ZD Wiki Editor]] ([[User talk:ZD Wiki Editor|talk]]) 05:14, May 12, 2016 (UTC)

:Probably a longer explanation than you were looking for but I wanted to fully cover the entire topic so there was no confusion.— {{User:Matt/Sig}} 07:27, June 15, 2016 (UTC)

Sorry, I just started using the talk pages, so I didn't know about the formatting. And you have a point about the errors. Whenever I use Inspect Element, there are always around 10 errors. Also, I'm using Chrome on my computer, but reloading doesn't work. Neither does closing other tabs. I haven't tried clearing my cache yet, and The Great Suspender seems useful. Thanks for the explanation! It may be long, but at least it's not vague. [[User:ZD Wiki Editor|Zelda]] ([[User talk:ZD Wiki Editor|talk]]) 23:57, July 2, 2016 (UTC)

:::Please don't remove old conversations. I'm not sure you intended to do that. Try using the show preview button whenever you edit a page from now on. Especially talk pages. Then you'll notice if it did something you weren't trying to do. Chrome should be able to handle the site just fine if you take the steps I recommended. They shouldn't be necessary on a typical, modern computer less than a year or two old. But if you have an old dinosaur PC like mine, those steps I outlined would help a lot. It is entirely normal to be a handful of errors on inspect element. Most of the time they are absolutely harmless and will go by unnoticed. Usually, it's something in the background that doesn't make visible changes so it won't affect your experience. And in Chrome, often the script will run anyway despite the error because it has built-in solutions to compensate for that. It doesn't work 100% of the time but it often will work.
:::Also, on talk pages it's usually preferred that when you respond to something you indent your reply. Do that by typing one colon at the start of your post, like you see on mine here in the edit view, for each time you indent (I indented your reply so you can see what I mean). So two colons to indent two levels, and so on. And leave a reply without any indent at all after... I'd say three replies, usually, have been indented. That keeps things easier to read. Indented replies also let you make clean paragraphs quick and easy like this.— {{User:Matt/Sig}} 05:59, July 3, 2016 (UTC)
And here I am just saying something else and signing it again, at the same time, to show a base level with no indentation again, so the next reply should be indented. It took me a while to get used to this, but really it becomes second nature pretty fast and it really smooths things up.— {{User:Matt/Sig}} 05:59, July 3, 2016 (UTC)
