I went to pull up the interactive map on my tablet and discovered i had 2 different accounts. What should I do so don't get in trouble?

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)

== 2 qeustions. ==
how do get to autoconfirmed user?
is it okay if i have a zelda fanfic on my user talk page? [[User:Zeldafic12|zeldafic12]] ([[User talk:Zeldafic12|talk]]) 02:32, May 22, 2023 (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! [[User:MarcoMarc|MarcoMarc]] ([[User talk:MarcoMarc|talk]]) 14:50 December 11, 2020 (UTC)
 
== 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. [[User:CanadianLoonie|CanadianLoonie]] ([[User talk:CanadianLoonie|talk]]) 19:28, July 27, 2016 (UTC)
 
: 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)
 
 
== 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! [[User:Baffan|Baffan]] ([[User talk:Baffan|talk]]) 04:04, March 15 2017 (UTC)
 
== 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. [[User:Chris3145|Chris3145]] ([[User talk:Chris3145|talk]]) 19:54, March 31, 2017 (UTC)
 
== 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)
 
== Editing style and how articels should look ==
 
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)
 
== Account Deletion ==
 
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)
 
: Done. {{User:Locke/sig}} 01:32, September 14, 2022 (UTC)
 
== Totk interactive map ==
 
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 made a new sizing for figurine template pictures  I need you to approve of it. You can see it in my [[User:Noop3451/Sandbox|Sandbox]] but here is the text for it <pre>{|class="wikitable" style="border: 2px solid black; background: silver; text-align:center; width: 450px;"

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


{{Quote|galleries do not need onlyinclude unless they're transcluded on another page.|Locke}}
Uh, I'm hoping this won't impact my interactive map progress?
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.

: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)


: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.
== Account Deletion? ==
: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
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]]


::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.
: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)


::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)
That's acceptable, thanks. --[[User:Lichenthropies|Lichenthropies]]
