Removing trivia

I'd like to ask for you to please stop removing trivia bullets, as you did here. We have not yet reached a consensus as to what we should do with the trivia sections, so you're sort of jumping the gun, here. If you could hold off on this until we reach a consensus, we would appreciate it. As is, I'm replacing the trivia section on said page. I thank you for your understanding.

One more thing, by the way. Please be respectful of others in your edit summaries. The only things on this site which we consider to be "useless," "pointless," or "crap" would be spam and advertising. I'm pretty sure that the authors of those trivia points found them to be interesting and added them in good faith, and I guarantee that they wouldn't appreciate your dismissal of their time and effort, just as I don't appreciate it.User:Justin/sig 10:53, 26 September 2013 (UTC)

You're right, I've been too aggressive. I'll only remove the erroneous trivia from now on, and without negative descriptors in the edit summaries. For the record, the Smash Bros stage trivia is now redundentt with the new smash bros non canon section, the Phantom Hourglass section was clearing up something that already pretty clearly explained in game, and the Mediterranean scection is too long to be trivia, although I'll refrain from editing it until a consensus is made.

Termina Edit

Hello. I just wanted to ask about an edit you made to the Termina page yesterday. You took out the Theories section on the basis that they were all "proved or disproved", but to the best of my knowledge, neither is true- there's nothing in HH, or any other source that I know of, that I can see that proves or disproves any of them. Could you explain your reasoning and, if possible, provide your source(s)? Setras (talk) 20:55, 29 September 2013 (UTC)

The first theory even states that Hyrule Historia contradicts the theory (and the third one), and the second one really isn't a theory, it's canon. Termina is a parallel world. Period. There's no reason to believe it was a dream, or another country or anything. And just so you know Setras, having lists of theories and trivia isn't a virtue , it's a vice. Have a nice day! Champion of Nayru (talk) 03:16, 30 September 2013 (UTC)Champion of Nayru

Actually, the first theory was somewhat mistaken about HH. As I brought up on the Talk page, "parallel world" does not inherently mean "separate universe" or anything like that- it can be interpreted that way, certainly, but all it's really saying is that the two regions share a lot of similarities. The reason for those similarities is then left up to interpretation, with many- but not all- interpreting it to mean another universe. I've also never come across anything to suggest that the second theory is canon- despite being called a "parallel world", Termina is still treated as a world unto itself, and there's not much indication that it's a "reflection" of anything. The bottom line is, there's no conclusive statement anywhere that any of these theories are definitively true or untrue, so I don't know that they can be removed on that basis.

(And for the record, sorry if I'm coming across as snippy- I'm trying to genuinely discuss this, not whine about it. :]) Setras (talk) 03:44, 30 September 2013 (UTC)

The second one is not really proven, I know; issuing it was proven was actually due to an editing error (sometimes my iPad messes up and I accidentally select save page prematurely). But nonetheless it has zero evidence for it. It states that Twinrova is able to move between the worlds. It's not the same Kotake and Koume; their personalities are different and they don't do anything malicious. Also Kokiri don't turn into Stalfos, they supposedly turn into Skull Kids. Termina is very different from Hyrule in every way besides many characters who share appearances and some that share personalities. Also the first theory is not possible, it's a parallel world and Link gets a new shield. It cannot be a dream. What next, Phantom Hourglass never happened? And how can the Lost Woods lead to the middle of a large region if it's just another country? These theories have so many holes in them, it's not even funny. Nice talking to you. :) Champion of Nayru (talk) 04:34, 30 September 2013 (UTC)Champion of Nayru

Champion of Nayru, I've already spoken with you about being respectful toward other editors. There's no call to be so bluntly rude and use offensive language. Children browse this site and we aim to keep it family friendly. The next time I find myself having to speak with you on this matter, you will be blocked from editing temporarily. Please take this to heart and treat others with respect. While some of Setras' theories may be a little strange, he is still editing in good faith because he believes that they are worthy of mentioning. I would highly suggest reading this page before making any further edits.

In addition, Setras, please don't antagonize someone if you can already tell that a conversation is taking a nasty turn. It is preferred if you just let one of the staff members intervene.User:Justin/sig 16:00, 30 September 2013 (UTC)

Not really sure where I was being antagonistic- I actually tried to apologize because I thought I sounded snippy. But whatever, will do! :) Setras (talk) 16:07, 30 September 2013 (UTC)

Apologizes to both of you. I personally do not find the offending, so I did not consider that others may. I have since removed the unnecessary word from my previous comment. I was not intending to be rude, but Theories and Trivia really big me, due to them often lacking relevance or quality. I will say however, that I tend to find your theories to be far more tolerable than most, Setras.

Justin, I agree that my use of the since-removed-word was potentially offensive, but I do believe your view on what is rude is a little extreme. Setras was not rude at all, he just disagreed with me. Disagreements will by nature by potentially offensive. Setras and I were having a discussion and I used a colorful adverb, with no anger directed towards Setras. This is not an article and I had little to no reason to believe that children, most of whom routinely here words far worse than the one I used by myself, would read this. I now realize I'm being a bit confrontational here, so apologizes once more. I tend to intensely respond to disagreements, even if I have no anger. Have a nice day, both of you!

Dark Rites

What is "erroneous trivia" meant to refer to? Drake Clawfang (talk) 03:31, 13 October 2013 (UTC)

er·ro·ne·ous

iˈrōnēəs/

adjective 1. wrong; incorrect.

The trivia I removed was just false. Destruction is not a reversal of Power, it's a potential consequence of misusing Power. Sorrow and Wisdom are wholly unrelated. Despair and courage are somewhat related, but they are definitely not antonyms. The Triforce and the Flames both forming a triangle is pointless to note; every single trio ever forms a triangle, it's just a consequence of having three connected points. The trivia was also to long. I do hope you understand why I am going to revert your edit now. In the future, do not revert edits unless you can confirm that the new edit is, in some way, false. Champion of Nayru (talk) 02:45, 22 October 2013 (UTC)Champion of Nayru

"every single trio ever forms a triangle" - well first this is flat wrong.

"In the future, do not revert edits unless you can confirm that the new edit is, in some way, false." I agree, you should not revert edits that are perfectly valid, though I understand why one would jump to that action since it's so much easier to just remove it than actually trying to improve it, as I will do not by rewording the point.

"I do hope you understand why I am going to revert your edit now." - back at you bro.

Drake Clawfang (talk) 05:53, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

The staff will not tolerate further edit warring from either of you. Please take this conversation to a more central location so others may weigh in on the issue. The content of the article concerns everyone.

I trust that you two will be able to take a step back and talk this out civilly. We are all acting in what we believe to be the wiki's best interests; there is never reason for editors to be jumping down others' throats. — Hylian King ^[*] 06:21, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

I jumped down no one's throat. I asked for a reason and he spoke down to me like I was some moron. I treat people as they act so I responded in turn, added back a tweaked version of the Trivia to fit his one valid point, and then found someone else to consult for opinion to settle it. Drake Clawfang (talk) 06:26, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

Champion of Nayru's actions do not give you free license to engage in edit warring. You guys hash this out whatever way you can, I'm simply saying keep it civil or the staff may be forced to take action. — Hylian King ^[*] 07:06, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

About the Quality Standards

Please understand that there is a fine line between adhering to the Quality Standards, and citing them to make a final executive decision to end a discussion (see here).

I can appreciate that you're trying to clean up articles. It is important that the wiki remains concise and on-point. But keep in mind this wiki is for everyone to contribute to. As an editor, you must be able to collaborate. If others disagree with a contribution of yours, they have a right to discuss it and argue their case until an agreement is reached. One cannot simply say "this does not meet the Quality Standards therefore I'm removing it, end of discussion." It doesn't work that way, not for editors nor for any staff.

Also, in the case of inexperienced editors, you're more than welcome to help them out, nothing wrong with that at all. And well done spotting that vandalism. Just be careful about how you contact these new users, especially when speaking on the behalf of the wiki itself. It may give them the false impression that you are staff. — Hylian King ^[*] 09:56, 26 October 2013 (UTC)

About Stallord.

I do admit I made an error there, by confusing two music themes (Fyrus/Volvagia), but I personally did not felt the need of calling my edit "opinionized", well, for the simple reason that it was not. --Iggy Koopa Jr (talk) 20:36, 16 November 2013 (UTC)

I'm going to ask you to reread the changes I made. The revision of your edit was not the only thing I changed; I was referring to the other trivia as opinionated

...Because of this, it is also the only boss that does not guard either of those, although a piece of the Mirror of Twilight is already left in its pedestal, which can be considered to be the piece that Link obtains for defeating Stallord.

Both Stallord and the Stalhounds resemble Cortez from Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, especially when Stallord's head is severed.

Opinionated was not the ideal word to describe these trivia, regardless, they are poor trivia. Either way this discussion is completely pointless, as the edit I made was correct, as you misinterpreted me. Champion of Nayru (talk) 21:21, 16 November 2013 (UTC) Champion of Nayru

Re: Moon trivia

Well, it's certainly not supersolidperfectevidence, but it's a great indicator of something; that scary face of the moon had an awful lot of effort put into it and its various repercussions, so the official "cover image" lacking it is probably stranger than anything in the game.

Since it'd be treated as trivia, it's also much better than most other trivia (not just bits simply present in a given article, but bits tolerated). Technically, by your logic, we shouldn't have any information on theories whatsoever.

I don't know... it just seems odd to try and hide this tidbit, considering what all this site is supposed to be for and/or what truly terrible and pointless things have been tolerated so far. ZeldaDoritos (talk) 04:45, 18 November 2013 (UTC)
