Greetings!
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)
 
:Alright, I made a template for it. Here's an example using your Spirit Tracks Treasure Table:
{{Languages|extra1=Sell Price
|jpn={{Languages/JPN|宝の名|""|x Rupees}}
|usa={{Languages/USA|Treasure Name|""|x Rupees}}
|eng={{Languages/ENG|Treasure Name|""|x Rupees}}
|fra={{Languages/FRA|Nom de trésor|""|x Rupees}}
|deu={{Languages/DEU|Schatz Namen|""|x Rupees}}
|esp={{Languages/ESP|Tesoro Nombre|""|x Rupees}}
}}
: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 <br>s, unless you have any better ideas. {{User:Locke/sig}} 13:07, November 1, 2011 (CDT)
 
::That template looks pretty good. What's <br>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)
 
==Formatting==
 
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)
 
: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)
 
::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)
 
==Focus note==
 
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}}
 
: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).
: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 enemiesSo, 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)
 
:I see what your saying, it makes complete sense. My only question to you now is that of the dungeons pages formatting. I plan on continuing editing the twilight princess dungeon pages, so how do you think would be the best way to format the pages? I personally like the current format, minus of course the extra details that I plan on erasing. Thanks for your help. {{User:fused shadows/sig}} 16:41, March 13, 2012


::I don't have anything specific in mind.  The current format is fine. {{User:Locke/sig}} 20:45, March 13, 2012 (CDT)

:::Hey Locke, fused_shadows here again. I recently went back into the Goron Mines page and tried to update it based on what you have told me. Some feedback on whether it is now perfectly detailed, still too detailed, or now too little detailed, or anything else you have liked or disliked that i changed or didnt change. I am basically looking for the go ahead to update the other dungeon pages like i recently updated the goron mines page. Thanks. {{User:fused_shadows/sig}} 20:40, March 21, 2012 (EST)
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 inserted some comments to the Dangoro and Fyrus sections that you can view by editing the section or viewing the page history and checking the differences for my edits.  Normally, I'd love to fix it up to how I'd like it as a demonstration, but I'm afraid that I can't give it that much time and I'd end up rushing it and losing much of the content. {{User:Locke/sig}} 22:25, March 21, 2012 (CDT)

::Sorry!!!! I didn't know. I would like this log. I need help with making the tab things. Visit my sandbox to see my ideas: [[User sandbox: Midna]]. If you want to you can also look at [[User: Midna|Midna]]. I put some of my ideas on my page. [[User:Midna|Midna]] ([[User talk:Midna|Talk]]) 16:11, March 31, 2012 (CDT)
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. [[User:CanadianLoonie|CanadianLoonie]] ([[User talk:CanadianLoonie|talk]]) 19:28, July 27, 2016 (UTC)


:::Eventually I'll try to put up some documentation as a guide, but for now here's a quick explanation: Tabs are set up in the form:
: Go for it! I'm pretty sick of the game haha. Let me know if you have any questions. {{User:Locke/sig}} 04:21, July 28, 2016 (UTC)
<pre style="float: left; margin-right: 1em;">{{TabSettings|Title}}
<div class="tab">
{{Tab|1|Title}}
{{Tab|2|Title}}
...
</div><div class="tabcontent">
{{TabContent|1|{{n}}
Content
}}
{{TabContent|2|{{n}}
Content
}}
...
</div></pre>




← "Title" here is the name of the set of tabs. It doesn't show up anywhere, but each set of tabs on a page has to have a different name.
== Breath of the Wild Interactive Map: We added All Overworld Bosses! ==


The second section is the list of tabs that appear across the top. "Title" is what appears on the tab. The numbers match up with the TabContent numbers.
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)


Third, the content is laid out. Usually we use Galleries here.  See the documentation for [[Template:Gallery]]. Each TabContent should have its own gallery.
== Item infobox ==


{{Clear}}
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 ==


Thanks a bunch!!!!! I might edit the Twilight Princess page today, so can you see if I did it right??? I will try in [[User sandbox: Midna]] first, so I can see if it works. I also made some edits to the locations page. I added some pictures.[[User:Midna|Midna]] ([[User talk:Midna|Talk]]) 10:23, April 1, 2012 (CDT)
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)
:For titles, I like to use the game abbreviation followed by what the category is, so "TPEnemies", "LoZCharacters", etc.  The other thing is that this should be done on the category page, not the game page.  Once it's finished on the category page (and only when it's finished - we want the game page to look nice, without half-done projects on it), it is transcluded on the game page with, for example, <nowiki> {{Category:Twilight Princess Enemies}}</nowiki>. {{User:Locke/sig}} 00:58, April 2, 2012 (CDT)
