You can help out by voting. I tried to rally up some attention for a more speedy featured article process, but nobody seems to care.

So, what now? i am just putting this cause I've no idea what to do, what was the "to do" list again?

[edit] Poll

Xykeb Zraliv – Instead of making the moon hit Termina faster, use your energy to give it a face. Your weapon of mass destruction may as well look nice.
TALK REVIEWS - MAJORA'S MASK WALKTHROUGH - ORACLE OF AGES WALKTHROUGH - TOP TEN
That favorite race poll is missing a few races...I wanted to vote for Garo, but after looking through the listed races a few times, I didn't see them. I was willing to accept that, since they played a fairly minor role in only one game. But then I looked for Deku and didn't see them, and they play a fairly substantial role in Majora's Mask as one of the main races, as well as a smaller but still significant role in Ocarina of Time. Also, some of the races there are a little unnecessary...I mean, trees? Really? Sorry if I sound like I'm complaining, I'm just saying that the poll doesn't have the best selection. I really wish we could edit those without totally resetting them.

small question, how often do we change that poll anyway? Or do we just change it after 3000 votes or something? Midna Rocks

I was severely disappointed there were no Deku on the poll... Ah well, I assume for a poll that asks about all races is bound to miss one or two, but Deku? Sadness.


How LONG has those 2 polls been up?--AF 14:02, November 3, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] News

Shouldn't we take down that "statment" OcarinaHero made? Most people aren't takeing it seriously, and it has no source to back it up.

True. It should stay in the forum. Also, don't forget to sign your messages.(Darknut15 (talk) 22:05, 3 August 2009 (UTC))

Oh, right. Thanks. Anyway, I'm pretty new here, so correct me if I'm wrong, but you have to be an admin to edit the main page right? Any admin up for it?--Ninjasquirrel (talk) 03:03, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Actually, the main page is only semi-protected, so any account older than four days can edit it. The idea of semi-protecting is to prevent IPs from editing a certain page and also discouraging people from creating accounts just to mess stuff up. Lisa URAQT Click it. You know you want to. Do it 03:16, 4 August 2009 (UTC)


I can edit the main page, but not the news section (Probably just my noobishness). Anyway, I guess we agree to delete that one news piece. --Ninjasquirrel (talk) 03:31, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

I'm the one that added it, actually. The reason you can't change it on the main page is because it's transcluded from a template, therefore the text isn't stored on the main page. I'll go change it. Baltro [ talk · edits ] 05:40, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Wikia Spotlight

Baltro - "I'm sorry, do you have some prior commitment? Some hideous skirt convention you have to go to?"
(04:15, 8 August 2009 (UTC)) - TALK - CONTRIBUTIONS - EDIT COUNT
Triforce and I talked it over on the shoutbox, and I wanted to request a Wikia Spotlight for our wiki. All it does it they make an ad for our wiki, and it's displayed at the bottom and side of all wikis on Wikia for a few weeks. This is supposed to help us get new contributors. I'm going to do the request, but as I'm not an administrator, I need to have admin approval, so this is really just where Triforce can say yes and I'll have a permanent link. But just so you know you all know, when you see ads for us at the bottom of pages :).
Click it. I DARE you.

It would be nice to have some new regular contributors. From what I've seen this seems like a good idea, and I'm sure we'll be able to handle any problems that might arise.
Midna Rocks – Ha ha ha ha ha! I laugh at your misfortune!
TALK – I'M A GUY! SHEESH!
All right I was trying to convince XYZ to do this. (I thought an admin had to do it.). The one problem i've heard on other wiki's about spotlighting is that it atracts TONS of vandals to the site but I think we have that covered.

(04:32, 8 August 2009 (UTC)) - TALK - CONTRIBUTIONS - EDIT COUNT
Anybody can request a spotlight, you just need admin approval. It doesn't attract tons of vandals; I had one for my wiki done awhile back, and I didn't even get any contributors or vandals.
Midna Rocks – Ha ha ha ha ha! I laugh at your misfortune!
TALK – I'M A GUY! SHEESH!
It's settled then! We'll be in the spot light in a few months.

deffinately. if it doesnt attract any new contributors or vandals, then its alright. we will have one and thats the important part.--C2 Click it I DARE YOU! 13:03, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Love the new mainpage layout! Just one thing annoys me, on Locations it has the moon, but in the MM Characters article the moon is a character. Is it a character or a location? Cause we either need to change it on the mainpage or on the MM Characters page.

Ok first off its annoying me how far spreading this meager discussion is getting... as in keep it on one page. Second, Why can't something be both? The Seahorse is an item and a character and Twinrova is a character and a boss for examples. There are reasons against the Moon being a character, but your argument is not one of them.

TALK LEGEND OF ZELDA: XENTORE REALM OF MASKS BLOG ZELDA DIMENSION FIVE KILLERS Poke-glitchpedia
If that's true than the Deku Princess would be a character and an item. That's like calling a person a thing, it's a tad obscure. Though this is Zelda, I still think it's a tad far-stretched. It has to be one of the two.

It wouldn't have to be a circle, just someting thats not in a set parameter. And whatever, I can tell your going to be annoying about it, so Im not even going to bother continuing this unless you have something of greater importance to say.

I just want to know the story on abbreviated redirects like MM and TWW. Most game pages have them but some don’t and typing in some leads to templates.
