Oh wow, this is confusing.  Hey Locke.  Would category would the Picori Festival be classified under?  I was thinking "The Minish Cap Locations" but the festival occurs in Castle Town so I'm not sure. A LINK IN TIME 02:12, August 17, 2012 (CDT)
Hey what do you think about a new sidequest infobox with a difficulty bar, rewards etc ... ? ''[[Zelda_Dungeon_Wiki:Sandbox| Show example in sandbox]]'' [[User:Benoit934|Benoit934]] ([[User talk:Benoit934|talk]]) 00:42, March 13, 2017 (UTC)
:I think events are common enough to deserve a [[Template:Event|new template]]. Feel free do add more relevant fields to the template itself. For example, one I just now though of could be something like "When". {{User:Locke/sig}} 15:57, August 17, 2012 (CDT)

== 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.

==Random notes==
== Breath of the Wild Interactive Map: We added All Overworld Bosses! ==


{{Quote|galleries do not need onlyinclude unless they're transcluded on another page.|Locke}}
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! [[User:Baffan|Baffan]] ([[User talk:Baffan|talk]]) 04:04, March 15 2017 (UTC)
Thanks! I didn't realize; I'll try to catch and fix any pages I happen upon/did that you didn't get to, and leave it out in the future. I have a habit of having to come back and go through everything I've done anyway~ to double check it and for uniformity's sake. If you see anything else I'm doing that can be changed to help improve the work flow, let me know. You have better things to do than clean up after me. This is my first wiki, I'm trying to learn quickly; but sometimes I'm dense.


Speaking of that, I've also noticed (don't know if there's a code mode so: ) that I've caused you unnecessary inconvenience and cost time by doing [[A Link to the Past]] instead of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]'' etc. -So I've been trying to catch that in my edits and make a habit of doing it the right way. AND, another random note based on the extra work I've noticed I've caused you. I'll be going back through and re-tagging my uploaded images. I would have loved to do them the first time, it's just been making working incredibly slow and difficult for me. Typing starts to hurt later in the day, or randomly (recovering from arm surgery, mostly working with only the left hand with the mouse) so I figured I am going to make a copy and paste template for the image tags, finish with LttP, and then just go through my old uploads procedurally. (which I need to do for the character/enemy sprites anyway, so they're double size and look nicer in the gallery code) I've had the motivation to finish the dungeons, so I was hesitant to break that flow to go back. (Plus, I wasn't sure how I wanted to tag them, -or what tags were preferable,- at first.) I understand this is messy and not preferable for a wiki, but it seemed a better alternative to not working on it at all or making a billion typos in the tags like I was doing. I kept trying different things and screwing up; it was annoying me to see all my problems. So, again, apologies. I guess I just didn't want you to think ill of me over it. [[User:Melora|Melora]] 14:46, June 22, 2012 (CDT)
== Item infobox ==


:Regarding your LttP links, that hardly took me any time at all, so don't worry about it!  There's a feature that lets me automatically replace text in bulk. Let me know if there's anything else that would be useful for, so you don't have to waste your ''own'' time.
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. [[User:Chris3145|Chris3145]] ([[User talk:Chris3145|talk]]) 19:54, March 31, 2017 (UTC)
:Making copy-paste templates is a good idea.  I'll put together a little tutorial for a really convenient method I use.
:When you say "tagging" files, that's something that the staff hasn't really reached agreement on.  Some think it's unnecessary.  It can also be done by including them in categories, or by adding them to galleries.  I think right now what we're doing is creating "Gallery" pages for this sort of file. For an example, check out the [[Gallery:The_Legend_of_Zelda_Enemies|Gallery of The Legend of Zelda Enemies]].  Galleries have their own namespace and their titles closely follow the category titles. {{User:Locke/sig}} 18:18, June 22, 2012 (CDT)


::Oh wow! That LoZ gallery is awesome! I had know idea there was something like that on the wiki... I LOVE art, so that actually makes me super excited. That's something I'd ''really'' like to help with one day. Like, seriously. It's why I've been making 600dpi scans of all my guides/Zelda books. I'm going to be doing art for my own site soon, (me being here is kind of a form of procrastination from that project, lol) I'd love to add that same art here as well. With the link you provided for the LoZ art, I found this page (and some others) http://www.zeldadungeon.net/wiki/Gallery:A_Link_to_the_Past_Enemies  I will add to it as I update the sprites (so they're not blurry) ~as long as that's fine for me to do :3
== Main Page Trivia ==


::Also, honestly and personally; I wouldn't mind just adding images to a gallery rather than tagging them (unless I think there's something that specifically needs to be credited/sourced to a more random thing.) It kind of seems to kill two birds with one stone, and (maybe?) keeps there from being quite as many links to change when info might change. Not that I really know; just babbling things as they come into my head.
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)


::Really good to know about the mass editor for text, though I'll still try to do it right; I was feeling really bad about my past transgressions ;) Thanks again! [[User:Melora|Melora]] 18:57, June 22, 2012 (CDT)

== Moving Pages ==
== Editing style and how articels should look ==


Hello there! I was wondering how exactly you "move" a page. Initially I'd thought it was an ability only reserved for administrators, but I looked in the [[Special:ListGroupRights|User Group Rights]] and realized that apparently "Autoconfirmed Members" can do that too. I think I'm an autoconfirmed member, so do I have this ability? [[User:Heroine of Time|Heroine of Time]] 01:26, June 30, 2012 (CDT)
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)
:At the top of the article by the "Edit" and "History" links, there should be an arrow for a drop-down menu.  "Move" is found in that menu.  If you go to your preferences and look in the "Gadgets" tab, there is an option called "Menu to Tabs" that will move all the options from this drop-down menu to their own tabs next to the "Edit" and "History" tabs. {{User:Locke/sig}} 09:52, June 30, 2012 (CDT)
::Oh, alright! I see it now! Thank you! I also wanted to ask if you could do that "text replace" thing for <nowiki>[[Hylian]] into [[Hylian (Race)|Hylian]]</nowiki>. Last night, I went through most of the pages to ensure that no links that should have been <nowiki>[[Hylian (Language)]]</nowiki> went to the race instead, so replacing all of it in the wiki shouldn't misdirect anything. I was going through it manually, but I think you can just replace all of it automatically, right? Or am I mistaken? Thank you very much. ^^ [[User:Heroine of Time|Heroine of Time]] 12:06, June 30, 2012 (CDT)


==Deku v. Deku Scrub, listed as a race==
== Account Deletion ==
Hello, I noticed that there are two simular pages listed as [[Deku]] and [[Deku Scrub]]. From how the Deku page is written it seems that it is intened to be about the race itself and the Deku Scrub page is more or less aimed as the enemy. However both are listed under Majora's Mask Races, and I am not entirly sure if the Deku page should be specified as the race only, or if a redirect, to the deku scrub page would be better, since both terms sound equally valid as a zelda race. [[User:Abc2VE|Abc2VE]] 16:57, July 22, 2012 (CDT)[[User:Abc2VE|Abc2VE]]


:Glancing at a few text dumps, it looks like "Deku Scrub" is the race, though I'm not sure what that would make "Deku". Perhaps a disambiguation page, or a page about Deku culture and artifacts... {{User:Locke/sig}} 16:27, July 23, 2012 (CDT)

==Page Needing Deletion + Deku vs Deku Scrub==
== Totk interactive map ==
Hey Locke, I noticed a page that was basically useless.


http://www.zeldadungeon.net/wiki/King_bublin
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.
[[User:ZeldaFan8000|ZeldaFan8000]] ([[User talk:ZeldaFan8000|talk]]) 05:24, July 6, 2023 (UTC)


I also came across the Deku vs Deku Scrub issue yesterday night. It would appear that the Deku Scrub is a specific type of Deku, different from the Mad Scrubs, Business Scrubs though. It seems that the Deku Scrub is a verrrry specific type of Deku, and if it were to have its own page, it would make it so Mad Scrubs and Business Scrubs must have their own pages as well.
== Name change ==


Deku, on the other hand, is obviously a broader classification. It includes the Deku Princess, Deku Butler, etc. as well as the Deku Scrubs, Business Scrubs and Mad Scrubs. I'm not sure if creating separate pages for each specific type of Deku is a good idea though, since it would result in an awful lot of new pages. But what I am sure of is that the current Deku Scrub page probably shouldn't be treating Mad Scrubs and Business Scrubs as a subcategory of the Deku Scrub.

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


== Different Version Text Dumps ==
Uh, I'm hoping this won't impact my interactive map progress?


Hello, Locke. I don't know anything about how the text dumps work or how difficult they are to add to the wiki, but is it possible to make a text dump page for Link's Awakening DX? There are only a few changes and additions in dialogue, but there's enough that I'm missing a few references that I'd like to have, particuarly for the Photographer. I was thinking that, if it's not too much trouble, the GBA version of A Link to the Past could also be added, since there are differences there as well. I don't know if any alternate versions of other games might have something important in them, too. It's just something that I wanted to suggest in case you have the time for it; I'd do it myself if I knew how, haha. There's no rush. [[User:Heroine of Time|Heroine of Time]] 01:50, August 18, 2012 (CDT)
: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)
:Yeap, I had forgotten to do those two. The script I wrote for it isn't difficult to modify. They're up now, using "LADX" and "LttPGBA" with {{Temlink|Dump}} and {{Temlink|Cite}}. Any others I'll have to find ROMs for and go through the whole hassle of finding/extracting the text. {{User:Locke/sig}} 18:11, August 21, 2012 (CDT)

== Account Deletion? ==
Okay, sorry i'm still kind of new to this I've been trying to do it in the third person perspective.
I'll make sure that I won't make that mistake anymore. Thank you for telling me. ([[User:TheRizardon|TheRizardon]] 09:03, September 26, 2012 (CDT))


== Some Questions ==
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]]


Hello Locke, on your user page it says you'vee beaten FS 100% except for Vaati's lvl 3. Does this mean [[Hero's Trial]] as well? If so, could you please share some tips, and tell me what is the reward? Also, wiki-related: I joined very recently, so I am still learning. Are there any tutorial-like features here? For example, I wanted to cite something, but I don't know how to.
: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)


One last thing: how do you get that fancy coloured signature? Did you just spend time formatting it manually (then how do you add a custom sig using four tildas), or is there a feature/gadget for this, or is this only for admin? Thank you. [[User:Demise|Demise]] 16:12, October 16, 2012 (CDT)
That's acceptable, thanks. --[[User:Lichenthropies|Lichenthropies]]
:I have one more question: when adding link, to, say, [[Octorok]], when talking about a spesific game (e.g.''[[The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass|Phantom Hourglass]]'', is it better to use [[Octorok#Phantom Hourglass]] or simply [[Octorok]]? It seems most links in this wiki use [[Octorok]], but [[Octorok#Phantom Hourglass]] is more logical. [[User:Demise|Demise]] 07:35, October 17, 2012 (CDT)
