Fix?

You say you'll have to figure out how to fix something... Mind if I ask what? —Ando (talk) 05:17, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

Fixing my userpage. Don't worry, I've been a contributor to many wikis before. I know what I'm doing..... except I'm not sure how to get a wiki sig, mind telling me how please? The Goron Moron 05:19, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

Aye, it seemed like you knew what you were doing. ;P
The best set of instructions we have right now on getting making a custom signature are located here. —Ando (talk) 05:23, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

Stuff

Hi there, GM. (May I call you that?) I see that you put another glitch down... If the glitch has been proven, please put in on the correction section of the Glitches page. (Majora's Mask Glitches, etc.) If it is disproven, needs work, etc.- Then see the glitches talk page, and put it in the correct section.-Zien 02:30, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

Just call me Goron. As for the glitch, I'm still pretty confused about where it would go. So I think I'll leave it at that talk page for now. -The Goron Moron 02:23, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

I will look at it, then do what is necessary. -Zien 02:30, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

Where to put it was a little confusing at first, but I think I know where to put it. I would do it myself, but due to the Wii's lack of the copy and paste features I can't. I could type it up, but I'm running out of fime tonighf. Could you put in the “Glitches Yet To Be Proven/Done” section on the Glitches talk page? Zien 02:45, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

That I'll do.

Edit: On second thought, I can't find the 'Glitches yet to be proven' page. >_< -The Goron Moron 03:04, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

So umm... Do you like South Park at all? Or are you just looking for the cameos?Matt (Talk) 06:23, January 17, 2009 (UTC)
Oh I love South Park. I became very excited when I noticed the cameos while watching Imaginationland. The Goron Moron 07:32, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
OOOHHHH! Goodie goodie! I need good members on my wiki. The staff abandoned the South Park wiki on Wikia. I've taken over it. I basically own it. It is South Park Archives. I'm desperate for quality help. i think you'd be great. I'm Mjr162006 there.Matt (Talk) 07:37, January 17, 2009 (UTC)
Heh. I noticed the wiki and even have it in my favorites. Unfortunately I'm not as quite knowledgeable of South Park. In fact, I guess I'm still pretty 'new' to it, even though I've watched it for years and years..... even when I was a little kid. *Cough* >_> Anyway, maybe I'll join it someday. I'm sorry to hear about everyone who left. The Goron Moron 08:01, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

That's what South Park Studios is for. That is the official site where you can watch any episode whenever and as many times you want. So the is not a problem. I like it. And I most likely know about as much as you do. I manage. When I can't remember something, I just go and watch the episode.Matt (Talk) 08:05, January 17, 2009 (UTC)

I once went there, the site seemed hard to navigate. That and, I thought that the episodes weren't 'full' and all of them weren't there. I went to South Park Zone once though... :/ The Goron Moron 08:24, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
South Park Studios has gotten better. It has full episodes. South Park Zone is technically illegal.Matt (Talk) 08:31, January 17, 2009 (UTC)
Everything is illegal these days. Still not sure about studio's though, at least it doesn't give me pop-ups. The Goron Moron 08:37, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
Studios is legit. It is run by the show's creators.Matt (Talk) 08:44, January 17, 2009 (UTC)
Well seems to me that they would be losing their moneyz!!!11! if they do that. Eventually, people will no longer watch it on the Comedy Channel, eventually no one will buy their DVDs.... as computers and internet slowly takeover households.... But then again, that's the same with everything these days. The Goron Moron 08:50, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

They run ads. So they just get more money. Most people watch it on TV. Because not everyone likes watching it on the net. The episodes are first tun on the TV. Then is available on the site a few hours later. For a few days. Then it is not available online for about a month. So they do a good job of balancing it.Matt (Talk) 08:56, January 17, 2009 (UTC)

Navigation Panel

Hey. Now to create a navigation pane for yourself, you need to follow the following steps:

{|style="width:100%;margin-top:+.7em;background-color:#{{ZWheader}};border:1px solid #{{ZWborder}}" |style="width:10%"| [[File:Choose an Image]] |style="width:40%"| {|style="width:280px;border:solid 0px;background:none" |-<center> |style="width:280px;text-align:center;white-space:nowrap;" | <div style="font-size:162%;border:none;margin: 0;padding:.1em"> Welcome to <div> <font size:5%><font face/> [[User:The Goron Moron|The Goron Moron's]] <font face/><div> <font size:5%><font face/> [[Zelda Wiki|Zelda Wiki]] Pages</div></center> |} <!-- Portals Follow --> |style="width:16%;font-size:120%;color:#FFFFFF;background-color:#{{ZWbgcolor}}"| *[[User:The Goron Moron|'''User Page''']] *[[User talk:The Goron Moron|'''Talk Page''']] *'''[[Link 3]]''' |style="width:16%;font-size:120%;color:#FFFFFF;background-color:#{{ZWbgcolor}}"| *'''[[Link 4]]''' *'''[Link 5]''' |}

That should do it. I will help you further if you need it! - M E L C H I Z E D E K  (TALK) 09:01, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, I really appreciate it. :) I'll get to that eventually. -The Goron Moron 09:53, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
Not a problem. Let me know if you need furthur help, and I'll check in later to see how you're going with it! - M E L C H I Z E D E K  (TALK) 10:02, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
Hmm... There is something wrong with that code. It wouldn't work in the sandbox. You can try using this template I just made: User Nav.Matt (Talk) 16:54, December 22, 2008 (UTC)
Well it looks good, but the template is... a little too circle'ish for my tastes. :/ The Goron Moron 19:56, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
Ohh, sorry I must've screwed that code up somehow. I've just adjusted your template so it's the square design, so feel free to edit it up to suit you, just make sure you do so on the page here: User:The Goron Moron/nav and that will change it on your userpage. Do you want it on your talk page as well? - M E L C H I Z E D E K  (TALK) 23:30, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
Hey thanks a lot for helping with both of my problems. :) I can do the rest now, thanks. The Goron Moron 23:41, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
No problemo, I'm here if you need any help! :D - M E L C H I Z E D E K  (TALK) 23:50, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
Oh yeah, and if you want it on this talk page too, or any other page, just type this at the top: {{User:The Goron Moron/nav}} - M E L C H I Z E D E K  (TALK) 23:52, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Console Templates

Yeah, I know they all have the Wii logo. It's much easier to get all of them created, and then to upload the appropriate images, which I'm going to do now... and also another tip... Always write at the bottom of someone's user talk page when starting a new point otherwise it is annoying to find your comment. Cheers! - M E L C H I Z E D E K  (TALK) 10:35, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

There we go, all the correct logo's have been added! I will format each userbox moreso tomorrow! - M E L C H I Z E D E K  (TALK) 11:39, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Gallery

It looks like my creation of a Gallery is catching on! :D - M E L C H I Z E D E K  (TALK) 06:52, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

Indeed it is. :) The Goron Moron 07:19, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

Goron Page

Great job on improving the Minish Cap section. I've been trying to fix it up, in hopes it will be feature-worthy. What it really needs now, is a lot of references.— Steve 21:33, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

I'll try to snoop around in some text dumps later, but for now I'm busy working on an art project. Anyway, your welcome. The Goron Moron 21:47, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

Nav Panel

You nav panel's looking good. All that you've got left to do is change the picture, add your sub messages and fix your second pane of links. - M E L C H I Z E D E K  (TALK) 09:59, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

Oh, I will. I'm just busy at the moment. The Goron Moron 18:30, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

Commendment

Okay, seriously. Your edits are huge and awesome! You're putting the rest of us to shame! Don't stop. Keep up the great work! It's making the wiki a far more informative place. The summary you made here should be your slogan or something. It is a good one.Matt (Talk) 03:58, January 2, 2009 (UTC)

Indeed, I've though this myself. Your owl article was awesome. You're a good writer for wiki content! - M E L C H I Z E D E K  (TALK) 06:47, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Dungeon templates

Hi, just a quick note about the edits you've made the the LoZ dungeon articles. That's not really the correct way to add something like that; you should really create a new template containing the same code that you used, and then link to that from each page using {{templatename}}. Also, I'm not sure we really need that particular template since we already have the page Dungeons in The Legend of Zelda. Maybe just a link to that page would be better? —Adam [ talk ] 11:50, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

Hah. I guess I should have known, but then again I have a terrible memory anyway. Well, thanks for telling me. Anyway, no I prefer to that new templates like these are created, so that people can navigate faster. The Goron Moron 14:22, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

Alter

Hey GM. Thanks a million! Yes, I did use the LA template. It appeared to be the best. GM, I don't hate you at all. All I did was disagree with your opinion. It doesn't mean that I have a problem with you. I was under the impression that you had issues with me. Not the other way around. Anyway, I hope you're not still mad at me. :)

Thanks again. It meant a lot coming from you. —Alter  {T C B H } 14:08, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

You're quite welcome. And no, I'm not mad at you anymore. The Goron Moron 15:00, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

I'm glad we're cool. :) —Alter  {T C B H } 21:03, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

Hey

I've always seen you around on ZU, but once I joined Zelda Wiki, I didn't see you for awhile. Now I've met you on here, too. Yay! :P—Justin(Talk) 13:27, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

Link's Awakening DX

Back in January 2009 you added the following sentence to the Link's Awakening page, on the section listing the differences between the original and DX versions: "Some areas have had their landscaping changed between the games." I'm curious - please could you elaborate on exactly what you meant by this? Apart from the presence of the photo shop, I'm not aware of any changes to the map. Thanks. (I've also posted this on the talk page for Link's Awakening) • Pete ♪ | ♫ 18:35, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

It's been a long while since I last played LA DX, so if I had meant anything specific, I probably wouldn't remember them. I probably meant different graphical changes to the landscaping (not counting the addition of color), such as different stone graphics, but I can't remember, so. The Goron Moron 21:13, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

YOU'RE ALIVE!!!!

Hey Goron Moron. It's been a while.Pinecove 01:06, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

No I'm not alive at the wiki. >_> The Goron Moron 03:31, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

RE: Timeline placement on A Link to the Past

Why the heck did you replace the original "timeline placement" section in A Link to the Past. The original one had nothing wrong with it. It was well written WITH sources, and frankly I find yours to be very poorly worded, especially since it does not match up to the Manual of Style. I would have undid the changes myself if the wiki would have let me. Seriously, it was perfectly fine and did not need an outright replacement like that. The Goron Moron 16:50, 4 January 2012 (EST)

To further add to what I already said, it seems that you have also been replacing the older sections in other game articles with your "chronology sections", so I feel that I'm going to have to explain this a little more. I can get that you're trying to help, but what you're doing is unnecessary. You can help by adding onto sections, the sections we have now are fine and well worded, they do not need to be outright replaced with new sections.
Second, I feel that you may need to review the wiki's policies. We have policies on how the wiki is written. When we type out a game's name, we type it as ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'', which would make it appear as Ocarina of Time. That is how we link to game articles, and you can get little shortcuts if you stroll down to the insert box while in an article editor. Another thing we like to see are when information are cited or sourced. When you replaced the older "timeline placement" sections, you also removed the sources. The sections were sourcing Hyrule Historia as its source for the current timeline, while also sourcing interview quotes for older proposed placements, which I feel should also be mentioned in the sections for history sake. Your sections were not sourced. Again, the older sections are perfectly fine.
All in all, I have to ask that you be more careful when editing. If you feel that there is a problem with something, I highly recommend that you discuss about it in an article's talk page first. Thank you. The Goron Moron 17:12, 4 January 2012 (EST)
Hey The Goron Moron,
No need to get offended ;)
I am doing some groundwork (plus I need the edits to be able to edit Zelda Timeline) for a great overhaul on the timeline articles. On the game's page, I just want information on how the game is placed within the chronology (better word than timeline I think), with the timeline story being explained in more detail in the Zelda Timeline article, while the history on the game's story being explained in a new article: History of the Zelda Timeline.
All of the replaced texts are backed up here, so that information is not lost and can be re-used.
It's unfortunate you caught this while in the middle of the work being done, but it will make much more sense once it's all done and dusted.
~cheers Mighty Dekunut 17:21, 4 January 2012 (EST)
P.S. I'll go back and change the game-naming ;)
I find it unfortunate you choose to turn this into an edit war, rather than try and work together. However, I am not playing this game and will simply let things play out and reach a consensus with the other contributors. If you so love this wiki, I hope you too will one day understand the value of that. Mighty Dekunut 17:41, 4 January 2012 (EST)
RE: I have asked a wiki admin to help with this. And believe me, I do value this wiki, and I do value it not getting to such a point where an edit war arises, however it was you who had brought this. You must also understand my own viewpoint on the sections. I have already explained to you that the old sections are fine, and were going to be updated with the wiki's standards of writing in mind. I don't see why you feel that only your sections matters.The Goron Moron 17:46, 4 January 2012 (EST)
I look forward to discussing this with him or her then.
When I explain my vision, and ask you to wait to see how things pan out, starting an edit war is not my doing, but your own choice not to respect that request for a little patience.
The old sections try and cram all the timeline related things into one section, while I would like it to be better organized. It's unfortunate you are unwilling to give that a chance and more seem to be offended that 'your contributions' are being changed. Again, I'm sorry, but that's your problem.
But like I said, I'm not going to start that edit war on the pages you've reverted, so just wait and see what a consensus comes to. Mighty Dekunut 17:56, 4 January 2012 (EST)
