Epic page

How can i make my page like yours? its really cool :) DonGerosMask 7:22, 30 September 2010 (GMT)

First off, do not use {{:User:DonGerosMask}} as your signature. I bet you wouldn't like it if I had my entire userpage as my signature. Use [[User:DonGerosMask|DonGerosMask]] for now, and stylize it or add to it as you like (Be sure to read the Signature Rules).

If you want to make a page like his, simply look at the source code and copy parts that you like. You can find a list of user boxes here. User:Minion/sig 07:56, 30 September 2010 (EDT)

Dude

Hey HK, make sure to sign your comments with four tildes (like this ~~~~) when you're using talk pages. Your sig lets us know that you made the comment first of all, but also tells us at what time and day it was made. It's important - we use the sig and timestamp to see if the discussion is relevant or outdated. :) User:Cipriano 119/sig 11:06, 25 August 2010 (EDT)

Thanks!

All right, thanks for letting me know! I'm pretty new to this and I'm sure I've still got a lot to learn...Hmm, someone should probably check the pages I've edited to make sure I haven't screwed things up too badly :P Hylian King 12:41, 25 August 2010 (EDT)

No need to worry; there's people out here called "patrollers." What we do is check every edit for quality! That means we're already reviewing your edits as you make them :)User:Justin/sig 13:26, 25 August 2010 (EDT)

Yeah, just a word of advice: your edit here I reverted because the tool tips are supposed to be there. User:Mandi/sig 02:48, August 27, 2010 (UTC)

Tool tips? Hylian King 06:53, 27 August 2010 (EDT)

Yeah, tool tips are neat little things that, when hovered over, display text in a box next to the cursor. We use them to explain things. Try it out by hovering over the words "tool tips" that are yellow!User:Justin/sig 08:33, 27 August 2010 (EDT)

Ah yes, those. I removed them because I thought they were only necessary to identify things that are in several games but only applied to one particular one. What I mean is, let's say a particular enemy was found in Ganon's Tower, but only in the Ganon's Tower in the Wind Waker, then you would put a tool tip. That's why I removed the ones next to the dungeons because they are unique and only be found in one game. But, apparently I was wrong...Oh well! Hylian King 08:58, 27 August 2010 (EDT)

Figures

The figures at the start of your page (the ones with the Triforce and the Stones and Medallions symbols) are amazing. can I borrow one for my page, please? --K2L 20:22, 2 September 2010 (EDT)

NO!...Just kidding, go ahead. It's not like I made it anyways. It is rather nice, isn't it? Hylian King 20:34, 2 September 2010 (EDT)

Thanks! --K2L 20:48, 2 September 2010 (EDT)

Your assignment

I made you a pack of 7 images, ready for rendering. I also included a few goodies. You can pick it up here. I expect good work from you. User:Minion/sig 06:33, 5 September 2010 (EDT)

I'll do my best. When I'm done, should I just go ahead and upload them or do you want me to send them back to you first? Hylian King 07:57, 5 September 2010 (EDT)

Do what you're most comfortable with. If you feel confident with your final results, upload them directly, otherwise send them over for checking. If you do upload them directly, make sure you give them good names. We want these to be found and identified easily if anyone searches for them. User:Minion/sig 16:12, 5 September 2010 (EDT)

Well, here's the next pack of images. Six screenshots this time. Before you submit the images, check the quality of transparency by using a light background (eg. white) and a dark one (eg. #1c3855, the color of the wiki). Keep up the good work. User:Minion/sig 07:30, 13 September 2010 (EDT)

There are 8 this time. I know that you rendered a few of them the other day, but you know how bad those are. Not like mine are much better. :P I shoulda replied sooner but... It's completely my fault. Anyway, enjoy ^_^ (I gave you that Redead for torture purposes >:] ) User:Minion/sig 09:44, 21 September 2010 (EDT)

S'all good. It was good practice... By the way, I did my best with the Zill Figurine, but because of his retarded hands I fear my best wasn't enough. The image might need a do-over. Or we can just chop his hands off. Whatever. Hylian King 17:28, 22 September 2010 (EDT)

Trading Sequence articles

Hey! Just dropping in to say that you've been doing a great job at fixing all of those Trading sequence articles. :D They were in much need of help, but now they look A LOT better thanks to you, both in format and in the way that it's written. Thanks again and keep up the great work! B) Dany36 12:20, 5 September 2010 (EDT)

Thanks, that means a lot to me. And I know it's probably been a while since you've done it, but I've been meaning to thank you for uploading all those quality Nintendo Gallery Figurines. Not many people have the steam to do such a repetive task for so long. Kudos! Hylian King 12:45, 5 September 2010 (EDT)

Game Names

I've noticed you've had considerable trouble linking to games. I'd just like to point out that all of them have a space after the colon, you haven't been putting this in. This makes a redirect link and they're viewed as being rather sloppy and unprofessional. For example, it's The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap, and is not The Legend of Zelda:The Minish Cap. It's just better to have links go directly to the intended target rather than routed through a redirect. It's in our policy: here.User:Matt/sig 20:30, September 5, 2010 (UTC)

Sorry about that. Well, we'll have to fix my screw-ups as we go, because I've done way too many edits this week to go back and fix 'em all. I kinda tend to be sloppy with the linking in the descriptions of image files. I figure no one reads those things anyways. Well, now I know. I've given the Quality Standard Guidelines a solid look over, so I should be able to avoid making any more screw-ups from now on :P Hylian King 17:40, 5 September 2010 (EDT)

Alternatively, you can just use the game shortcuts. Instead of typing out the [[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]] ordeal, it'd be much easier to add it using the Game Formatting Templates. So that way, you'd just type {{subst:ALTTP}}, which results in this:

A Link to the Past

Nice, eh? We encourage users to use the Game shorcuts so that it will make it easier and faster to edit the wiki. For a list of all Game Formatting Templates, you can go here: Formatting Templates. Dany36 17:03, 5 September 2010 (EDT)

Thanks for the tip! I knew there was a better way of doing it... Hylian King 17:40, 5 September 2010 (EDT)

Linking to other pages

Hullo, Hylian King! First of all, I want to congratulate you once again for the excellent job you've been doing in improving pages across the wiki...so hurray for you! Just a little tip, though: I've noticed (like for example in this edit) that you link to other pages several times in one paragraph. Normally, we only link to other pages once per article so that we won't overlink and such. The first thing that stood out in that edit is that you linked to uh...Link's page more than once. So just telling ya that you don't have to link to an article several times throughout the page: just once will suffice. BUT OTHER THAN THAT you've been doing an awesome job. B) Keep up the great work! Dany36 23:12, 14 September 2010 (EDT)

File Extensions

Hey, dude, when uploading files, make sure that you upload them with a lowercase file extension. It's part of our policy to have lowercase extensions rather than capitalized ones. (IE: File.jpg instead of File.JPG) Other than that, keep up your good work!User:Justin/sig 13:49, 19 September 2010 (EDT)

Yeah, sorry about that. Those were some of my first file uploads, and I wasn't really paying attention when I did them. It shouldn't happen anymore... Hylian King 15:55, 19 September 2010 (EDT)

If it happens again don't feel too bad, even some of us let it slip through when we upload sometimes. An admin should move it before too long and if they don't seem to notice it all you have to do is ask and they will, there's a section for it on the Image Requests page.User:Matt/sig 20:11, September 19, 2010 (UTC)

Translations [Sandbox]

Quick question: Is the capitalization of katakana necessary? I also find the way Japanese is displayed (eg. ツインローバ "TSUINRŌBA") to be rather unappealing. Sorry for being so blunt ^_^ User:Minion/sig 11:24, 3 October 2010 (EDT)
