==Main page problem==
==Main Page Ads==
I noticed that if you move your mouse over the {{TLoZ}} icon it is impossible to reach the listings without moving it over the [[The Legend of Zelda: The Adventure of Link|The Adventure of Link]] (opening the AoL listings) or off the icon (removing the LoZ icon). This can probably be fixed if the area the listings appears in is moved or if the list is made wider. --[[User:Person777|Person777]] 20:17, 12 January 2012 (EST)
Are there supposed to be ads on the main page?! If so why! --[[User:Planetbox@legacy41964341|Person777]] 20:11, 4 February 2013 (UTC)
:Go on the icon, move the mouse straight down. Anyway, we'll look into your suggestions. Did you have a similar problem with ''Skyward Sword''? {{:User:Abdullah5599@legacy41961806/sig}} 20:27, 12 January 2012 (EST)


No Skyward Sword has a larger size, so the name overlaps the icon, putting you on the list straitaway. By the way, what do you mean by move the mouse strait down. That just puts you on the main page. And also after I posted my suggestion I noticed that it would work if you moved the mouse really fast, which could be hard for some people. --[[User:Person777|Person777]] 16:27, 18 January 2012 (EST)
:Because they pay for the monthly server bills and for maintenance. It was deemed that banner ads would be more beneficial for the site (and less invasive) than the in-text ads we were using before.<br/>If it makes it any better, the ads might possibly be disabled for registered users in the future. {{:User:Hylian King/sig}} 21:45, 4 February 2013 (UTC)
:I guess we're seeing two different things. Could you please upload a screenshot of the issue? Also, what browser (and version, if possible) are you using? {{:User:Abdullah5599@legacy41961806/sig}} 16:07, 19 January 2012 (EST)


I'm editing on Mozilla and IT WORKS! I was having problems on IE which is what I normally use. I haven't checked on google chrome, but it doesn't matter because I guess it's just the browser. --[[User:Person777|Person777]] 15:20, 12 February 2012 (EST)
::Oh. Well, now the ads aren't appearing on my computer. I'm not sure if that was supposed to happen. Well, if it gives you money and disappears on my screen I'm OK with it!  --[[User:Planetbox@legacy41964341|Person777]] 20:44, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
:I've done some edits, and it should look better in IE. Are you still experiencing problems with it? {{:User:Abdullah5599@legacy41961806/sig}} 13:24, 13 February 2012 (EST)
::Accually it's still not working. I got a screenshot and I tried to upload it but it said the MIME or something was wrong. I am not a whiz with computers so I have no idea what that means but i'll try to get the image on this page as soon as I can. --[[User:Person777|Person777]] 18:09, 13 February 2012 (EST)


==Our Wiki Broke==
:::Well we're thinking that disabling ads for registered users probably won't have much of an impact on the ad revenue so we're trying that for now. The site is now 100% ad-free for logged-in users, at least for now. Enjoy! {{:User:Hylian King/sig}} 21:34, 5 February 2013 (UTC)


I have no idea if this is only happening on my computer or not, but the whole wiki is spread out. There's one of those scrolling things on the bottom of the page and practically everything is replaced with a line of red text talking about invalid stuff. The featured article is replaced with all these letters and numbers. I don't know if this is a problem with the wiki, my browser, the internet, my computer, or my brain, so if anyone else sees this let me know. --[[User:Person777|Person777]] 13:15, 21 June 2012 (EDT)
==Main Page Errors==
===Featured Picture Caption===
Can the description of the featured image be changed to "Link versus Dark Link"? It's not Shadow Link. {{:User:Darkness@legacy41966669/sig}} 21:18, 26 February 2013 (UTC)


:Try clearing your cache and refreshing the page. If that doesn't help, copy the red text and paste it here. Also, what's "all these letters and numbers"? {{:User:Abdullah5599@legacy41961806/sig}} 15:56, 21 June 2012 (EDT)
:Good call, although his name appears to be "Link's Shadow" in AOL. I'll go ahead and change the caption. {{:User:Hylian King/sig}} 21:39, 26 February 2013 (UTC)


::Never mind, it's 8:02 and it's gone now. The main page breaks om my computer a lot, but it was never as serious as that. --[[User:Person777|Person777]] 20:05, 21 June 2012 (EDT)
===Formatting===
<hr>
The main page is completely broken. It looks like it's a problem with the CSS. There's red text scrambled across the screen and the text is really small. I can see some messed up templates, too. Can someone try to fix this? {{:User:Darkness@legacy41966669/sig}} 22:40, 19 April 2013 (UTC)
I just noticed that Legend Zelda is not shown on the front page! Edit: So it was removed by the owner in order for a new banner to be added. It's been four months since then though. [[User:Zeldafan1982|Zeldafan1982]] 11:57, 25 September 2012 (EDT)


:I'll try letting Noah know. He probably forgot. {{:User:Hylian King/sig}} 18:11, 25 September 2012 (EDT)
:Everything's fine. We just had a couple hiccups while trying to install some anti-spam extensions. I purged the cache and it looks fine now.{{:User:Justin ZW/sig}} 22:42, 19 April 2013 (UTC)


==Problem==
===Accessing Wiki from Google===
Hello, I just wanted to comment that on the side of the main page,(Like where it says the articles about Music Monday,etc.) it says Error: It's not possible to get http://wikirby.com/rssfeed.php... What does that mean and how can I fix it? {{:User:Darkness@legacy41966669/sig}} 13:12, 2 November 2012 (UTC)
I've been having using my routine of accessing the wiki through Google, it comes up with a "No site configured at this address". It's still possible to access the wiki through other articles, but the Main Page link that runs through the html "www.zeldawiki.org" isn't accessible even through the search bar. --[[User:Smighty@legacy41969391|Smighty]] 09:23, 24 April 2013 (UTC)
:When a page is not displaying properly, purging its cache usually solves the problem. The "purge" option can be found in the dropdown next to the "View history" button (there's also the keyboard shortcut, alt+0). The Mastermind feed is displaying just fine on my end, though... Have you tried clearing your browser's cache? {{:User:Hylian King/sig}} 11:59, 4 November 2012 (UTC)
::Thanks. That fixed the problem. {{:User:Darkness@legacy41966669/sig}} 23:17, 4 November 2012 (UTC)
This problem has been happening for me for three days now... I tried clearing my cache but it didn't change [[User:Alibi|Alibi]] 13:10, 31 March 2013 (UTC)
:The RSS feed seems to be down. I'll notify the other staff and we'll try to get it fixed ASAP. {{:User:Hylian King/sig}} 13:13, 31 March 2013 (UTC)


==What?==
===Door of Time Image===
The Door of Time image on the main page (and community pages) is still the Heart Container image from a while ago. Shouldn't we have a different image for it? --[[User:Planetbox@legacy41964341|Planetbox]] 00:39, 13 June 2013 (UTC)


Are there supposed to be ads on the main page?! If so why! --[[User:Person777|Person777]] 20:11, 4 February 2013 (UTC)

===Typo===
Just noticed that "Youtube Account" is missing a "c". [[User:Geralt of Hyrule@legacy41644249|Captain Tetra]] 16:21, 21 June 2013 (UTC)


:If it makes it any better, the ads might possibly be disabled for registered users in the future. {{:User:Hylian King/sig}} 21:45, 4 February 2013 (UTC)
:Haha wow, as if that went unnoticed for so long. It's been fixed. Thanks for the heads-up! (Went ahead and changed it to "channel" seeing as that's really the proper word for it.) {{:User:Hylian King/sig}} 16:48, 21 June 2013 (UTC)

==={{TWWHD|-}} Countdown===

Main Page Ads
Latest comment: 5 February 20134 comments2 people in discussion

Are there supposed to be ads on the main page?! If so why! --Person777 20:11, 4 February 2013 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Because they pay for the monthly server bills and for maintenance. It was deemed that banner ads would be more beneficial for the site (and less invasive) than the in-text ads we were using before.
If it makes it any better, the ads might possibly be disabled for registered users in the future. — Hylian King [*] 21:45, 4 February 2013 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Oh. Well, now the ads aren't appearing on my computer. I'm not sure if that was supposed to happen. Well, if it gives you money and disappears on my screen I'm OK with it! --Person777 20:44, 5 February 2013 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Well we're thinking that disabling ads for registered users probably won't have much of an impact on the ad revenue so we're trying that for now. The site is now 100% ad-free for logged-in users, at least for now. Enjoy! — Hylian King [*] 21:34, 5 February 2013 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Featured Picture Caption

Can the description of the featured image be changed to "Link versus Dark Link"? It's not Shadow Link. —Darkness(Talk) 21:18, 26 February 2013 (UTC)Reply[reply]
