User talk:Emma

Hi! I'm Matt — one of your local sysops. If you have a question for me, ask it here. I like to keep conversations in one place. If you ask a question here, I will respond here. If I tell or ask you something on another page, please respond on that page!. Trust me, I'll be able to see that you responded just fine. In fact, it is actually fairly hard for me not to notice as I put those pages in my watch list.

Note: The above notice displays as a rectangle in most browsers. But in Firefox it has smooth, rounded edges, as shown here.

How to Lock Pages

I hate vandalism. How do you lock others from editing your user page, like you have? --The Keeper of Majora's Mask 23:19, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

It is not exactly a lock. It is more of a trick. Clever programming. It is not exactly easy to explain. For now you will not need it. Unless you really want it. We will not allow people to vandalize your page, or any other page. Any that to are punished.User:Matt/sig 23:33, March 3, 2009 (UTC)

Leaving For A Bit

I will not beable to post on Zelda Universe, Zelda Wiki, and the internet itself for a little bit. So, if you have any ideas of me ditching ZW, please remember this. I have not been active as I usually am latly. But, I wanted to tell you this now so you will know, and not try to delete my account, or something. I'll be back in a few weeks or so, but... keep editing! :P User:Zien/sig 19:32, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

Something similar has happened to me, and I hope to be back no later than April.User:Steven/sig 15:52, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

Hmm?

How come I put something in this wiki, and then someone has to either erase it, or change it????Template:Nosig

1.) Sign your post like this:

~~~~

That will take care of everything. It is all you need to sign.

2.) If an edit is reverted or altered, that means it is not up to our quality standards, or is complete nonsense.User:Mandi/sig 00:47, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

Mandi basically said it. Just remember that no one here is "out to get you". We have a core team of sysops and patrollers that monitor the wiki and look at every edit. We make sure that everything added is of quality. If it is not and we think it just cannot be improved, we remove it. Make sure are aware of what it says at the bottom of a page when editing:

"If you do not want your writing to be edited mercilessly and redistributed at will, then do not submit it here."

Also be aware of all of our quality standards. Always check your work for accuracy, typos, etc. before submitting it.User:Matt/sig 04:42, February 13, 2009 (UTC)

Yup yup. Every piece of information added is checked against our notability standards (which, granted, they're not written-and-set-in-stone quality standards, but anyone who's been around the wiki a while typically gets pretty good at determining whether or not something is notable for the wiki) by the person who checks the edit. I mean, something like "Link has 5 fingers" doesn't exactly seem notable enough to include in his article, right? So that could be a factor.

Another factor might be redundancy -- sometimes people add information that's already been stated within the article. It happens quite often. So someone may have noticed that and then decides to remove the redundant information.

So yeah, following Matt's tips there (always checking your work before submitting) along with maybe spending a bit just browsing and checking out some of the better articles and getting used to the general wiki standards (it's what I did before I started editing, anyway) will definitely help in allowing you to have edits that are much less likely to be undone or reverted. User:Ando/sig 07:15, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

Yes sir. I just liked how the symbol looks, but I will find another one to use :) By the way, is this how we're supposed to respond to talk page things? Or do I edit my talk page/your talk page? Right now I'm using the little plus by the edit button. User:Italiangenius91/sig 05:23, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

I'd just click the edit button. And as it says at the top of this page I prefer to keep it all in one place.User:Matt/sig 05:39, March 1, 2009 (UTC)

I'm sorry I'm failing so much to read. I see it now. Anyways, that's all on that. User:Italiangenius91/sig 06:07, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

I'm still glad you like the symbol. That means I did a good job on it. But it is sort of my avatar. I'm known for it. I would rather not have confusion.User:Matt/sig 07:47, March 1, 2009 (UTC)

Templates

Where did you get the Template for "Fan of Spiritual Stone"? Thanks.Template:Nosig

Well, if you would like to use that particular template, you just type: {{User stonefan}}. Aside from that, the list of userboxes can be found here ;)User:Mandi/sig 22:55, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

Help Guide - Theories

I've noticed this morning more and more people are wanting to know if their theory can be put on the page. It's made me think that a Help Page on Theory Standards would be a good idea, to refer people there.User:Melchizedek/sig 19:59, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

'You' Epidemic

Many pages have the word 'you' instead of 'Link', or the character. We need to stop this before it spreads throughout the entire Wiki. Wait, it already has! Grab your mouse, and powercord... this will be a long day. :P User:Zien/sig 16:51, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

Well, isn't it kinda sad that mostly everything on this wiki is written as if it really did happen in history, or like a story book or something...? RupeeLord 17:32, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

Yeah. Writing articles in second person perspective is really not recommended. So replacing "you" with "Link" is a good idea.User:Mandi/sig 21:30, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

RupeeLord: that is called in-universe style. It is how it is supposed to be.User:Matt/sig 22:14, March 7, 2009 (UTC)

Search By Date

I could of sworn there was a way to search pages by date of last edit, or something like that. I went to Google, all of the options I can reach with this account, and Media Wiki itself but found nothing. I think I might of done it once, but I don't know. User:Zien/sig 19:51, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

I'm back (again)

If you do remember me, it would be a miracle (I changed my sig but if you can read katakana, you should be fine) I'm back to haunt help ZW. I'm also here to find help with my dilema (I did find a Zelda "_______" name, but the name is taken on webs.com and I can't afford a domain yet so currently I can't create it. The website of the same name hasn't even been updated for years. At least what I can tell). Anyway, I don't think I can contribute much so I will probably only be a WikiGnome... *puts on cap* User:Pakkun/sig 20:19, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
