What is Zeldapedia?

ummm what is zeldapedia and is this wiki better than it? im new and kinda want to know whitch one is better? User:The-Gman!

Zeldapedia is a wiki hosted by Wikia. You can find more information here, including a link to the site so you can check it out for yourself. With regard to which is "better", that's a very subjective question and not one that I can give you an answer to. My personal opinion would naturally be in favour of Zelda Wiki.org (that's why I'm here after all!), but you'll need to make your own mind up on which you prefer. My recommendation would be that you create an account there also, edit a little at both sites and get an idea of which feels best to you. User:Adam/sig 11:47, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

Ordon Village Work Deleted!?

Hey, I was looking through Recent Changes and I saw you deleted all my work on those pages. I'm a little upset of this because I put a lot of time into that, and I was wondering why you did that. Could you please reply? (Preferably on this page). ShellShockeR (Talk) 05:58, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

With the recent removal of OV as a Mastermind site, it doesn't seem appropriate for the site to have a dedicated category here any more. That has historically only been available to Mastermind sites, hence why I removed the category for HTLOZ also. The rank template and its subpages are a slightly different matter, however I believe that the same principle of it being a "Mastermind-only" feature applies (see the current Rank templates here).

I had already sought the other staff's opinions on the removal of the category, the response to which was unanimously in favour of removal. I've let everyone on staff know exactly what I've removed and why, in case there is some legitimate argument for any of it to remain. I recongise and appreciate that you've put a lot of effort into creating those pages, so I can understand why you're upset. But I hope you'll understand why, based on the current status of OV, it wasn't appropriate for it to remain. Also, should a policy allowing external sites this privilege be approved by the staff, any pages deemed appropriate can be restored to their previous state. User:Adam/sig 06:11, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

Ah, I see. Well, I guess the makes sense then. Plus, like you said, you've told the other staffers here, and it makes sense to me now. Sorry for being a little bit angry there, I was just a little upset because I put some time in them. I'm fine now though. Though, since OV is somewhat down as of today, I'm not sure when it is coming back online, since Alexander has left, though he says he was still paying. Anyway, thanks for explaining this all to me in a nice manner, it's appreciated that you also replied fast. Again, thanks for telling me. I just have some questions: If Ordon Village is brought back as a Mastermind, could I bring those pages back, and my second question: After a page has been deleted, can you bring it back as it was before it was deleted (in case OV comes back online and a mastermind)? Hope you can reply. :) ShellShockeR (Talk) 06:23, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

Restoring deleted pages is actually very simple, but can only be performed by admins. Basically, any admin can view a deleted page's revisions in much the same way as an active page's history. They are also able to restore revisions or the entire page, so yes it is possible and very easy to restore deleted content. In fact, the term "deleted" is a little misleading, since it's not actually possible to deleted anything (pages, images, user accounts...) from the wiki's database. Information is simply made unavailable through the wiki interface, but remains stored on the server. Does that make sense? So yeah, if OV were to return as a Mastermind in future those Rank pages could and would be restored. Oh, and no worries about getting worked up, it's completely understandable and it's not like you were rude about it :)

Also, from what I've heard of OV's current status, it would seem that it's in the process of being transferred to new hosting under Swiftblade's management (control having been handed over to him by Alexander). I'd expect to see the site back up fairly soon, but I couldn't say when. I guess Swiftblade would be able to provide more detail on that, his email address is on his userpage.

Tingle's Love Balloon Trip

Hello, why did you put a merge tag at each of the three articles on characters from Tingle's Love Balloon Trip? Okay, they are just stubs now, but I have seen even shorter stubs (example). Or because the game is not released yet? It's less than two weeks ahead, though. --Grandy02 16:09, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

Hi, I added my reasoning here. I'd appreciate any input you may have on it. User:Adam/sig 16:44, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

Thought You Might Know

How do you put pictures on your page? Like the Zelda Wii art. That stuff. Mantandzelink 16:31, 2 August 2009 (UTC)Mantandzelink

I'm assuming you want to add them to your user page? Anyway, the procedure is the same for all pages. To add individual images, follow this (step 3 only, if you're using images already available at the wiki). Otherwise to add a gallery of multiple files, use the following code:

<gallery>
File:image1.jpg
File:image2.png
</gallery>

Let me know if you're still having problems User:Adam/sig 17:34, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

Wanted to check with you first

The history in the Eyeball Monster page says you redirected it to EyePlant. Is this another issue with the Prima Guide having a different name than the official Nintendo one? I know it made mistakes with at least a few entries. Heroofstuff brought it up and I checked my guide; saw the same thing. User:Axiomist/sig 04:01, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

Nope, I have no information whatsoever on the name. Basically, Eye Plant was first to be created, then Eyeball Monster was created at the start of this year. It was a stub duplicating the info in Eye Plant, so in the absence of any official source for the name back then I simply redirected the new stub to the already established and more generically-named page. Do with it as you will :) User:Adam/sig 05:58, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

Shutting Down my account

Hello Seeing as I dont come on here anymore I was wondering if it would be possible to deactivate my account (forever)

All the best --Zanramon 12:40, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

I can disable your account, as long you're certain you don't want to use it again (it's not reversible once done). Did you want me to do that for you? User:Adam/sig 12:59, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

Yea. If it would't be a problem.

See Ya --Zanramon 17:50, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
