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.

Hey, Adam. Sorry to put this in such a strange place, but I have no means of reaching any admin off-site. Could you check my talk page's revision history and find the last couple of edits done by Wowzeras? I'm fed up with the constant abuse I'm taking from him on here, and I want him to know that off-wiki problems STAY off-wiki. PLEASE do something! Again, sorry it's so randomly placed and small, but anytime I talk about something that he even thinks is related to him, he intrudes on the conversation.—Justin^(Talk) 02:32, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

I think Ax said all there is to say here. Plus, if you ever need an online admin, I'm not the best choice what with timezone differences. Best bet in future would be to check the Online Users panel on the Recent Changes. User:Adam/sig 12:32, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

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)

OK, I've disabled you account as requested. Bye. User:Adam/sig 18:35, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

Hey Adam

Hey. How's it going? I was wondering if you have the frames for this image. If so, it'd be great if you'd let me use them. Thanks. —Alter  ^{{T C B H }} 17:42, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

Hi there. Sorry, I didn't make that image, I got it as-is so I don't have the constituent frames. Surely a GIF editor can extract them though? User:Adam/sig 19:59, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

OK, thanks. Yeah, I'm sure that there's some programs, but I really don't want to learn how to use them. :P Anyway, I was able to just take snapshots of each frame, and replace them. Thanks. —Alter  ^{{T C B H }} 22:15, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

Featured Picture

Hey, there's a new Featured Pic. Just wanted to let you know. :) —Alter  ^{{T C B H }} 23:57, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

Alltime greatest video game hero comp at gamespot

Gamespot is running a poll for the greatest video game hero, the comp was set as a knockout tourney but users vote for their fave char, link is in the semis along with mario, samus and gordon freeman. mario is going head to head with samus and link is against freeman. at the current rate link will lose so i am asking if you could rally some of your members to vote for link. http://uk.gamespot.com/greatest-video-game-hero/vote/index.html?battle_id=61 btw, gordon freeman is the half life guy also, please notify as many other zelda sites as well just to help

Meh

Alright, so I'm not really going to edit this Wiki alot, so don't assume I'll spam it up. I don't like your hypocrisy, I don't know if you did it or somebody else. But do not say you own an image that is licensed under a video game. So don't blame us for copying something we didn't copy. --Zeldapedian Supporter 03:39, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

if you are wanting to know about zeldapedia then this is the jist of it. Both are about equal but on one site maybe a couple articles are better and on another a couple aticles are better. but ither then that their basically the same but they fight over who is better. I am new to here too but i have used zeldapedia since the beginning of last summer.--Ironknuckle1 04:43, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

Nay, Ironknuckle, I am not wanting to know about Zeldapedia hence my name. I support it, and am staying anonymous here. --Zeldapedian Supporter 06:44, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
