It's been a while, the last time I really did much was nearly a year ago. I went through some tough times and I found it harder and harder to do much of anything at all. Eventually I found some strength and got involved with a few other projects. They didn't end well, but at the very least I walked away with a few more skills. And if you happen to know me from one of those places I implore you to leave the past right where it belongs.

Either way I am feeling much better now and I hope maybe I can be of some help around here again in some way. I recently came into the possession of Corel PaintShop Photo Pro X6 so maybe I could do some image stuff. Haven't used a good image editor in a while so it'd be good practice. I look forward to at least trying to get into some kind of swing :)

Hey William,
:Sorry for not noticing this until now, but still, welcome back hon! Good to hear things are going good with you again! <br>[[User:Ixbran|Ixbran]] ([[User talk:Ixbran|talk]]) 03:11, 19 September 2015 (UTC)
Thanks for helping out with this project. It's much appreciated. :) {{:User:Hylian King/sig}} 06:47, 23 May 2014 (UTC)
== Opinions on a project ==
So I've started working on something I've been thinking of doing for a while now, a User WIP of a page listing for the [[User:Ixbran/Material|various different character portraits in the HW series]]. Having an opinion on it, as well as getting it up to wiki standard so it can be a mainstay page, could be appreciated. If you have any suggestions [[User talk:Ixbran/Material|please put it here]].<br>[[User:Ixbran|Ixbran]] ([[User talk:Ixbran|talk]]) 04:40, 9 June 2016 (UTC)
::Of course, I am happy to help out! [[User:Williamlc|William]] ([[User_talk:Williamlc|Talk]]) 06:49, 23 May 2014 (UTC)
== New Project ==
So here's that new template I was talking about: [[Template:ExpGame]]. The goal is to replace instances of [[Template:Exp]] with this new template, in infoboxes and [[Template:Names|Names in Other Regions]]. [http://zeldawiki.org/index.php?title=Hylian_Shield&diff=404136&oldid=397153 Like so].
See [[Template:ExpGame]] for more info on why this is an important step forward. If you have any questions please let me know.
Hope you're interested in helping out! (It's totally cool if you aren't, though.) {{:User:Hylian King/sig}} 05:23, 25 May 2014 (UTC)
== References Sections ==
Please stop inserting new reference sections reliant on the non-existant template "Template:Reflist". Most, if not all, articles have reference sections already, and those sections should already be making use of the existant templates [[Template:Ref]] and <s>Template:Refbar</s> depending on the article's needs (if they're not, they should be converted to one of them). --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] ([[User talk:Shiningpikablu252|talk]]) 20:10, 25 May 2014 (UTC)
::I didn't know I was doing that. Must have been something AWB was doing. Still ironing out the bugs with that. [[User:Williamlc|William]] ([[User_talk:Williamlc|Talk]]) 22:20, 25 May 2014 (UTC)
:::My bad, I forgot to tell you to disable "general fixes" in the Options tab. Most of these do not apply to Zelda Wiki and should not be used.
:::Also, you might want to change the AWB script to remove two empty newlines above the Reflist section. Your edits are leaving two extra new lines in the article that can cause gaps. [http://zeldawiki.org/index.php?title=Vaati&diff=405542&oldid=398380 Example] Not a big deal, but still... {{:User:Hylian King/sig}} 02:09, 26 May 2014 (UTC)
::::I figured that out. I unchecked it the first time I ran it, but I was rushing around so much this morning that I forgot to uncheck it, so now I have it set to remove it (The reflist that it added). At least half of the pages I told it to edit (4000 pages) have already been processed, so I don't think changing the rule now will make too much of a difference. [[User:Williamlc|William]] ([[User_talk:Williamlc|Talk]]) 02:26, 26 May 2014 (UTC)
:::::No worries. Are you using a text replace to remove reflist? {{:User:Hylian King/sig}} 02:34, 26 May 2014 (UTC)
::::::Yes. Why, is that bad? [[User:Williamlc|William]] ([[User_talk:Williamlc|Talk]]) 02:38, 26 May 2014 (UTC)
:No, it's fine. But if you could modify it so that it removes the two extra newlines, that would be great. If not, don't worry about it. I've set a bot to [http://zeldawiki.org/index.php?title=Spryte&curid=13918&diff=405578&oldid=405524 remove them]. {{:User:Hylian King/sig}}
::How would I fix that, just put two lines before the piece I need to get rid of? [[User:Williamlc|William]] ([[User_talk:Williamlc|Talk]]) 02:45, 26 May 2014 (UTC)
:::Precisely. {{:User:Hylian King/sig}} 02:51, 26 May 2014 (UTC)
::::Okay, I just set it. What do you have your auto save delay set at? [[User:Williamlc|William]] ([[User_talk:Williamlc|Talk]]) 03:13, 26 May 2014 (UTC)
:::::I just set it to 0. Saving pages takes long enough on its own. {{:User:Hylian King/sig}} 03:28, 26 May 2014 (UTC)
:For the record: the Refbar template has been rendered obsolete. Just wanted to follow up on Shiningpikablu's comment. {{:User:Pakkun/sig}} 20:59, 26 May 2014 (UTC)
