Help
an some one help me add this to the mini-boss section? I got everything made up but I dont know who to upload the file.
 * you mean upload an image? or add an image to the page?Axiomist 02:59, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Well I need to move the Blue Stalfos Page here to the page for the mini bosses. But I dont know how
 * I see the Blue Stalfos Page, but could you show me the other one? I'm not too sure how to do it, but I figure things out as I go. ;)Axiomist 03:09, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

What the Mini-boss page? http://zeldawiki.org/Category:Mini-Bosses
 * oh, ok, just add a Category tag to your page. [Category:Mini-Bosses] like that. well use 2 of those brackets on each end.Axiomist 03:17, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Just to the page itself or what?

btw
Well one more thing. The page you made it in, is your profile. Just click 'edit', copy everything you did there, and then create a new page and paste it. Everything else should be automatic.Axiomist 03:23, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

I dont know how to find a new page :p I know its silly but I dont know where a new page is at
 * It's not silly at all, this site is a little weird at first. http://zeldawiki.org/Special:Newpages ;)Axiomist 03:33, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Okay what do I do there?
 * Evidently the name is the problem. I just did a search "Magical Blue Stalfos" and it offered to make a new page. Whereas searching 'Blue Stalfos' goes to the Stalfos page. My OoA guide just calls it "The Blue Stalfos". So.... try something like that. I'll help you edit in enough info to let it keep it's own page.Axiomist 03:56, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

See when I try to type in anything all its says is "There are no results for this report".
 * yea, try to get something that'll let you "Create this page"Axiomist 04:01, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

I dont know how I did it but I managed to post the page onto the mini boss page. Thanks for all your help Axiomist ^,^

Image(s) uploaded
Hi! Thank you for the new image(s) you recently uploaded; the wiki appreciates your contributions! We've recently introduced a policy of crediting the original source of any images used here, so we ask that you please take a moment to let everyone know where your images came from using the various templates here. For more information, see this explanation, and any questions you may have will be answered by the staff here. Thanks for your help! --Adam 17:40, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Hey! If you can't find the website you took the image, try your history. If you really can't find it, AT ALL, just leave the Image no source tag i'm going to leave on it. But try REALLY Hard to find that site. Please! ;) --Seablue254 20:32, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

I think I can find the websites if I can get the picture I'll go back and find that sight. I'll try my best to see if I can.


 * Psst. I know a secret. Only it isn't actually a secret. No sir.
 * Anyway, so we've got these image templates. These are how we let people know where we got our images from. So instead of typing "Hey, I got this image from such-and-such", you should add in the appropriate image template (there are directions on how to do this on each image template's page). Just try using these, and if you're having any trouble, let me know! ;) - Ando 15:35, 2 May 2008

Hey there. I noticed you still seem to be having problems using the image templates on the images you've uploaded. I've edited this image to give an example of how it should be done; could you add this to the other images you uploaded please? Just let me know if you're still having difficulty with using them! 12:28, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Okay I did it sorry I have trouble learning new things. User:Heroofstuff 4:06, March 9, 2009
 * It's fine, no one is expected to know everything at once, Your images need one more template . This indicates that Nintendo is in fact the copyright holder.  01:10, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh, don't include the <nowiki tags just the curly brackets and c-Nintendo, sorry for not making that clearer. :P 01:21, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Reverted Edit
I noticed that you blanked this user talk page of yours, and I then undid the edit. There isn't a need to clear messages off your user talk page. When the page becomes cluttered and long, it is accepted that the page is archived, as opposed to blanked. If you need any help with editing, feel free to ask. 08:45, 27 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Yes, Archiving is recommended as opposed to just erasing comments from pages. If you'd be interested in archiving, you can check this guide which gives you instructions on how to do so :) 15:27, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

Question
I would like to upload several pics from another website, but I forgot how to say where I got them from and all my previous uploads simply have a copyright stamp thingy on them do we no longer say where we got the images from? --Heroofstuff 03:36, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
 * You can just simply say where you got the image as you are uploading it. In the image's summary, you can place something like "Image found from (source here)." I don't think we DEMAND to say where you got the image, but it is encouraged to give credit where credit is due. :) Dany36 03:43, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Ya used to I used to get into trouble all the time for that. But okay cool. TO THE SPIRT TRACKS ENEMY PAGE!!!! --Heroofstuff 04:07, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh, sweet! The enemy pages for Spirit Tracks need a lot of work. I'm looking forward to your edits, then! Dany36 04:12, 11 January 2010 (UTC)


 * It's recommended that you use one of the images templates here :) 04:14, January 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * Okay I just finished adding the copy right template to all the images I uploaded today. --Heroofstuff 09:56, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday! Hope you had a good one :) 04:57, March 21, 2011 (UTC)
 * I did, thanks for wishing me a happy b-day. Glad to see your back Mandi. --Heroofstuff 18:34, 24 March 2011 (EDT)

Multiple edits
Hello! I noticed you've been making a lot of edits to the same page over a short time. Doing this puts a large strain on our server and clogs up the recent changes. So instead of saving a lot, use the "show preview" button next to the "save page" button. It'll allow you to view your edit for any mistakes so you don't have to make a lot of fixing edits or additional ones! :) 03:57, 7 October 2011 (EDT)
 * Yeah sorry bout that I'll try my best to use the show preview more often. But I wont lie I'll probally forget like half the time on accident so sorry (again). :P --Heroofstuff 07:23, 7 October 2011 (EDT)

Faces of Evil/Wand of Gamelon
I noticed you have added several enemy pages to the FOE and WOG enemy categories, but you are forgetting to update the infoboxes, where the Game field lists the games where the enemies appear. When next editing an enemy page to include it in a category like that, please don't forget to edit the infobox as well. Thanks in advance! -- 10:05, 19 October 2011 (EDT)


 * Either way, thank you for adding information and uploading images for the bosses/enemies for those forgotten games. :D Keep up the great work! :) Dany36 10:09, 19 October 2011 (EDT)


 * Oh yeah sorry about that it was late when I was doing it so I must have forgot. Thanks for reminding me. Oh and Dany36, I plan on it but some enemies never appeared in games outside of the CD-i games so it may be a while before those games are completed. Either way your welcome. --Heroofstuff 17:17, 19 October 2011 (EDT)

I noticed you uploaded quite a few pictures of FoE and WoG enemies with a blue background. If you look at the main articles, the images don't look quite as good in the infoboxes. So could you please upload them with a transparent background next time? If you're not sure how to do that, tell me which program(s) you are using and I'll try my best to help you. 05:15, 20 October 2011 (EDT)
 * I dont know how to tranparent them. I'm using microsoft paint to edit the pictures and a sample of the color used in the Image Gallery on Zelda Wiki to (as closely as possible) match the background colors which I obtained via the print screen function and the paint program. --Heroofstuff 05:41, 20 October 2011 (EDT)


 * Our Image policy actually says that images should not have solid backgrounds. From what I know, Microsoft Paint doesn't let you do transparency. I recommend trying Paint.NET or GIMP. Both are free, reliable and well-known image editing programs. Personally, I would advise you to use Paint.NET, as it is easier to use. Play around with them and see what you can make. 07:45, 20 October 2011 (EDT)
 * Okay I'll see what I can do for my future images. Thanks for the tip on Paint.NET Abdullah. :) --Heroofstuff 07:47, 20 October 2011 (EDT)

I Need Help
Here's the deal I'm trying to create pages for the Zelda CD-i locations but every time I tried to use the Place Template it didn't work. I even copied off pages with existing Place templates and removed their text (on my page of course) but it still didn't work. What am I doing wrong? --Heroofstuff 20:26, 20 October 2011 (EDT)
 * Never mind......it may be working now. --Heroofstuff 20:43, 20 October 2011 (EDT)

FileInfo
Hey there, Heroofsuff.

I see you've recently been having a little trouble with the FileInfo template, which was recently made to include the CD-i games. When uploading a new image, all you have to do is select the game and licensing (and source, if you got the image from elsewhere) and the FileInfo template will automatically be added to the file. The only time you need to add it manually is with existing files.

I'm pretty sure you know this by now, but just in case you don't, the FileGame template is outdated; the FileInfo template should always be used instead. If you don't.... THE WIKI GODS WILL STRIKE YOU DOWN!!! Well, maybe not... but do it anyways. :P

I hope that clears things up for you. If you have any comments or concerns, don't hesitate to let me or anyone else on the staff know. 07:42, 25 October 2011 (EDT)

PS: Thank you for your continued efforts regarding the CD-i games. It's nice to have someone around here who cares!
 * I was unaware that the FileGame template was outdated so thank you for clueing me in on that and also that you for adding the CD-i games to the FileInfo template, that is going to make my future edits a WHOLE lot easier (Huzzah).


 * PS: Your welcome, one day I'd like a chance to actually play the Unholy Triforce and form an opinion of my own. Til then later! --Heroofstuff 09:15, 25 October 2011 (EDT)
