Thanks for the quest Infobox, may you add the durability (Base Durability) to the item info box, thoses informations aren't displayed In-game but it's given in the official guide. [[User:Benoit934|Benoit934]] ([[User talk:Benoit934|talk]]) 07:30, March 17, 2017 (UTC)

== Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity - Koroks Challenges ==
Hi Locke, hope you are doing well. I am trying to provide some screenshots from my Switch for the Koroks hunt. However, every picture has a copyright embedded. I uploaded one for you to see: https://www.zeldadungeon.net/wiki/File:Miphas-Training-Korok.jpg. Is that okay since I made them? Thanks your reply!

== Hyrule Warriors Adventure Map ==
 
Hey Locke. I'm looking to get involved with the ZD Wiki and thought I could help by working on the Hyrule Warriors Adventure Mode map, as it appears to be mostly incomplete. I know you did most of the Hyrule Warriors work on here, so just wanted to make sure you didn't have any special plans for it before I started filling it in. I already took a look at how it was made and it seems straight forward enough. Let me know if that's cool.

== Breath of the Wild Interactive Map: We added All Overworld Bosses! ==
 
Hey Locke, we just completed the Overworld Bosses! Except if we missed Lynels, but I don't think we did. So yeah, All 4 Molduga, All 40 Hinox and All 40 Talus. Writing this here because I know I saw a page somewhere with a list of all completed sections, so in theory we can now add this one too. The map project is great!

== Item infobox ==
 
I started a discussion about the item infobox at [[Template_talk:Infobox]]. I'm not sure how many people would normally see that, though, so I also wanted to leave this comment about it on the userpages of admins and some other editors who seem to have shown interest in templates.

== Main Page Trivia ==
 
I was looking at the Current Projects, and I saw the part about the Main Page Trivia. I never actually saw it when it was there, but I thought I might be able to take a stab at it. It would most likely be updated on weekends, but the only problem is that I only have autoconfirmed privileges. I would never mean to suggest a higher role; I just thought it might be something I can do to help the wiki. [[User:TheDoctor8910|TheDoctor8910]] ([[User talk:TheDoctor8910|talk]]) 00:20, October 19, 2018 (UTC)
 
Never mind, I just noticed it was removed after that project was posted. Sorry for the inconvenience. [[User:TheDoctor8910|TheDoctor8910]] ([[User talk:TheDoctor8910|talk]]) 00:46, October 19, 2018 (UTC)

Also, how did you get so many people to go to your talk page?????? I am so sorry I have so many questions!!!!!![[User:Zelda101|Zelda101]] 12:36, March 7, 2012 (CST)
Hello, I'm new here. Are there pages, where it's explained how specific articles in this wiki should look like, how naming files, categorizing articles, adding licenses to files, etc. works? Thanks! [[User:Venerazeldafan|Venerazeldafan]] ([[User talk:Venerazeldafan|talk]]) 15:49, May 22, 2020 (UTC)


how do you create a new page????? For an example on the The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword under story there is a link to another page called Skyward Sword Story where on the legend of Zelda Twilight Princess there is no little link thing. I want to know how to make a little link thing to make a new page.[[User:Zelda101|Zelda101]] 14:18, March 7, 2012 (CST)
== Account Deletion ==


==OoT 3D Language stuff==
Hello. I am needing my zeldadungeon wiki account deleted and was told you could do that for me.
[[User:CookieGamer733|CookieGamer733]] ([[User talk:CookieGamer733|talk]]) 03:07, August 13, 2022 (UTC)


Greetings!
: Done. {{User:Locke/sig}} 01:32, September 14, 2022 (UTC)
As you may or may not have noticed, I have been using my PAL copy of OoT 3D to aquire item descriptions in other languages and posting them in my [[User:Curly/Sandbox|sandbox]]. Is this something you would be interested in having on the wiki properly, or shall I simply keep it in my sandbox? I want to produce a text dump, but feel at the moment it would be too much to do and very time-consuming. (Especially in English, French, German, Spanish and Italian!)


Regards, [[User:Curly|Curly]] 15:29, October 29, 2011 (CDT)
== Totk interactive map ==


:Alright, I made a template for it. Here's an example using your Spirit Tracks Treasure Table:
Hyrule Castle is incorrectly linked to the general page as opposed to the botw/totk page. How should that be fixed? I asked [[User:Sanityormadness|Sanityormadness]] and was told I'd be better off asking you. Also Water Temple is incorrectly linked.

:I may have to tweak it a little bit, and there's an organization issue I thought of: This only handles descriptions from one game, so putting this at the bottom of a page for something that appeared in several games might not make sense.  We could dump all the games' descriptions in the description attribute with &lt;br&gt;s, unless you have any better ideas. {{User:Locke/sig}} 13:07, November 1, 2011 (CDT)


::That template looks pretty good. What's &lt;br&gt;s? I was thinking we could have different tables for different games, e.g. for the Hookshot, you'd have ALttP table, OoT table, MM table etc. [[User:Curly|Curly]] 13:38, November 1, 2011 (CDT)
== Name change ==


==Formatting==
Hi, I'd like to have my username changed to Serenity_Elsywn. I've stopped using my current one for everything else


Hey Locke. I have a question. When I edit articles (Deku Scrub, for instance), I use H1 for different topics (Appearances, trivia, gallery) because that's how it is on the Deku Baba page. On the main page it says to follow that page as an example for formatting, so how come it's always changed to H2? -- [[User:TSter The Great|TSterTheGreat]] ([[User Talk:TSter The Great|Talk]]) 21:21, December 5, 2011 (CST)
Uh, I'm hoping this won't impact my interactive map progress?  


:Actually it should be H2 as the highest heading. H1 is buggy, breaks some our scripts, and isn't the right size. It's too big. If you see H1 where it should be H2, change it to H2.— {{User:Matt/Sig}} 21:54, December 5, 2011 (CST)
:This is completed. This should not affect map progress, though you may have to relog into the map. --[[User:Charitwo|Charitwo]] ([[User talk:Charitwo|talk]]) 16:57, November 3, 2023 (UTC)


::Alright, thanks. I'll be sure to do that from now on - [[User:TSter The Great|TSterTheGreat]] ([[User Talk:TSter The Great|Talk]]) 21:58, December 5, 2011 (CST)
== Account Deletion? ==


==Focus note==
Hi, I was hoping I could have my account deleted. I don't remember when or why I made it, and haven't made any wiki edits that would be effected by my account being deleted. --[[User:Lichenthropies|Lichenthropies]]


Hey Locke, recently I noticed you placed a focus note on the goron mines page. I basically built that page and I am always trying to update it, and thus am always revisiting it. I dont understand what the focus note means. Appropriate page? Merging? Could you please shed some light on what you are trying to say to the editors of the page? {{Unsigned|Fused shadows|10:15, March 4, 2012}}
:Hello, we don't delete accounts, I could rename your account to something generic and you could just cease logging into it. If you would prefer that as an alternative? --[[User:Charitwo|Charitwo]] ([[User talk:Charitwo|talk]]) 03:54, January 1, 2024 (UTC)


:Well, the biggest thing is that I don't think it's appropriate to have detailed boss strategies on the Dungeon page; those should go on the Boss's page. I say "Focus" because the article should be focused on the dungeon itself.  Obviously the boss, mini-boss, items, etc. are part of the dungeon, but they should be described as they relate to the dungeon, and the specifics should be left to their respective pages (using the [[:Template:Main|Main template]]).  I've also noticed that some dungeon pages (besides the ones you've been working on) are becoming very walkthrough-ish, which also isn't appropriate (we have walkthroughs on the site).
That's acceptable, thanks. --[[User:Lichenthropies|Lichenthropies]]
:As another example, I don't think it's necessary to explain what a small key is for each dungeon - there's already a whole page for that.  I guess it might be okay to note how many there are, or anything unique about them (e.g. in OoT Fire Temple they're found by freeing Gorons), though I almost think it would be best to just list them, like the enemies.  So, in short, I'd like to cut down on repetitiveness.  If something is dealt with on another article, then only the relevant aspects should be touched upon. {{User:Locke/sig}} 16:23, March 4, 2012 (CST)
:Oh yeah, also, try not to link to redirect pages, just like with disambiguation pages.  Always link straight to the appropriate article.  If you want a different name to appear, use the pipe notation. Thanks! {{User:Locke/sig}} 16:26, March 4, 2012 (CST)
