==Merging pages==

First of all, this is a really great idea. I've been in this community barely a month and I already felt there was a need for a talk page about problems of the whole wiki.

Ok, so now, the problem: there are many different pages that should be really the same page. I'm in the process of merging them ([[Bomb]]s so far, and halfway through [[Potion]]s), but I haven't had much time since I came back to school, and plus, my keyboard doesn't always cooperate, making it a lot more difficult. So while I probably will end up doing some of those, I put them here so people an find out and fix them too, since problems like these are hard to find (I've found most through moments of boredom, while I click on [[Special:Random|'Random Page']] endlessly, lol.)
 
 
So, here are some of the multiple pages to be merged I've found:
 
* <s>'''[[Picto Box]]''' - [[Pictograph box]], [[Pictobox]], [[Deluxe Picto Box]], and [[Pictograph]].</s>
 
* <s>'''[[Outset Island]]''' - [[Aryll's Lookout]] and arguably [[Fairy Forest]] (there's not much to talk about it on its own, although it technically is a separate area in the game).</s>
 
* <s>'''[[Dragon Roost Island]]''' - [[Dragon Roost Pond]], and arguably the [[Wind Shrine]] (not much to talk about either).</s>
 
* '''[[Triangle Isles]]''' - Technically different places, but similar in function, and they all have almost nothing to talk about: [[Eastern Triangle Island]], [[Southern Triangle Island]], and [[Northern Triangle Island]].
 
* <s>'''[[Ordon Village]]''' and [[Ordon Ranch]]</s>
 
* <s>'''[[Korok]]''', [[Korok Ceremony]] and all other non-important Koroks (everyone but [[Makar]] and arguably [[Hollo]]): [[Irch]], [[Olivio]], [[Oakin]], etc.</s>
 
 
Phew, that was a lot, though there are probably more. Anyway, IMO you can't make a good page without much to talk about, so merging these multiple empty pages will end up in fewer good pages. Quality vs. quantity, basically. -[[User:Memo326|Memo326]] 20:30, 20 January 2008 (EST)
 
:I don't know if Ordon Village and Ordon Ranch should be merged. From what I can remember, the Ranch is never actually said to actually be a part of Ordon Village. --[[User:Hisak|Hisak]] 22:24, 20 January 2008 (EST)
 
 
::I think for the islands, like Outset and Dragon Roost, there should be a section for landmarks. And then they should just simply state them. The Triangle Isles should be merged into one page as well.--[[User:Green Tunic|Green]] 12:34, 21 January 2008 (EST)
 
 
:::I don't think the Triangle Isles should be merged due to the fact that they are three seperate islandsand aren't even anywher close to each other. They all take different pearls, and I believe there's a Korok and a wilted Deku Sprout on one of them. I don't think Fairy Forest or Aryll's Lookout should be merged because they're different places that actually have a purpose in the game and are part of the storyline. Green's idea is pretty good though. Ordon Ranch and Ordon Village definitely should not merged. I think Pictobox and Pictograph box should should be merged.--[[User:Icytriforc|Icytriforc]] 21:03, 22 January 2008 (EST)
 
 
::::I agree, Green's suggestion is a good one. With that in mind, I'd agree with the Outset and Dragon Roost merges. Also definitely yes to Picto___ (I was gonna do that myself, but not sure under what title?) Less sure about the rest, but if done properly it could work. Maybe a discussion is needed at [[Talk:Picto Box]] about format/structure? --[[User:Adamcox82|Adam]] <sup>([[User talk:Adamcox82|talk]])</sup> 15:56, 23 January 2008 (EST)
 
 
::::Ok, I've merged the picto pages under [[Pictography]]; not entirely happy with it yet, it's sort of a work-in-progress. Now that most of the above has been completed, maybe it's time to turn our attention to the other [[:category:Articles to be merged|articles to be merged]]? —[[User:Adamcox82|Adam]] <sup>([[User talk:Adamcox82|talk]])</sup> 18:13, 23 February 2008 (EST)
 
 
== Huge Galleries ==
 
 
Articles such as [[Midna]] have giant galleries. I'm always wary of these types of things getting big because there are (although not many) users who still have slower connections, plus the galleries take up a lot of space. I think something for pages with galleries like these should be given the treatment that [[Link]] got, and have their galleries moved to a separate page. --[[User:GoldenChaos|Jase]] 21:35, 23 January 2008 (EST)
 
 
I did it for Midna.--[[User:Link hero of light|Link hero of light]] 23:46, 23 January 2008 (EST)
 
 
== Soul Calibur II and the CD-i games ==
 
 
I know that they aren't "technically" Zelda games, but I think that we should be giving [[Soul Calibur II]] and the CD-i games the same amount attention we've (I've) been giving the Smash Bros. games. If there's anyone with extensive knowledge of any of these games, could you create/improve pages for the characters and locations of these games? --[[User:Hisak|Hisak]] 00:23, 10 February 2008 (EST)
 
 
:I agree. I don't really focus on the non-canon Zelda info myself, plus I highly doubt anyone here actually has any of the CD-i games... The main reason I don't mess with the non-Zelda pages is because I don't necessarily agree with the Wiki's policies on non-Zelda content ''(full pages on [[Mario]], [[Lucario]], etc.? seriously?)'', so I probably wouldn't be good for that. Anyone else could, though. :P --[[User:Ando|Ando]] 16:56, 10 February 2008 (EST)
 
 
::Did you know that, other than a site in french, were one of the only sources of information on the internet for the CD-i games (outside of wikipedia)? Yes, they're horrendously badly made, and the information in them isn't canon, and they're not part of the series... but surely denying their existence is censorship? A lot of the stuff we have didn't even exist a year ago, but I did some research (during which I laughed a lot. And died inside a little...) and created some basic info. Others have added information on the key characters, but it certainly needs to be improved. I may create a small template to link all the pages. (P.S. I know zero about Soul Calibur, so I can't comment). --[[User:Adamcox82|Adam]] <sup>([[User talk:Adamcox82|talk]])</sup> 02:59, 11 February 2008 (EST)
 
 
:Maybe I should re-phrase my statement. I really only don't focus on non-canon content because I don't own any of the games. If I owned the games I'd be editing up a storm, believe me, but those things are expensive and I just don't have the funds.
 
 
:May... maybe if anyone is willing to donate to the "Ando Wants the CD-i Games" fund? :D I'd buy 'em in a heartbeat. I've been wanting to play them anyway. :P--[[User:Ando|Ando]] 12:49, 11 February 2008 (EST)
 
 
::Understood. Word of warning though; heed the advice of the french guy I mentioned, given here in the [http://64.233.179.104/translate_c?hl=en&langpair=fr%7Cen&u=http://www.quebecgamers.com/impressions/cdi/index.html conclusion]. The games and consoles are horrendously expensive, and looking at the videos on youtube I don't think anyone could honestly enjoy playing these games? --[[User:Adamcox82|Adam]] <sup>([[User talk:Adamcox82|talk]])</sup> 14:00, 11 February 2008 (EST)
 
 
Well actually, someone on amazon gave the Wand of Gamelon 4 stars<ref>http://www.amazon.com/Zelda-Wand-Gamelon-Vintage-Cd-i/dp/B000GHIR3O/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1202859460&sr=1-1</ref>. But I agree, Soul Calibur and the CDi games should be given attention. I also think that The Legend of Zelda games template should have a new section called "Philips CD-i games", then under it have the Wand of Gamelon, Zelda's adventure and the Faces of Evil. But I can't be of much help on giving the articles attention, I don't own the games you see. :-(--[[User:Link hero of light|Link hero of light]] 18:48, 12 February 2008 (EST)
