[edit] SAY BYE ITS YOUR LAST TIME IN THE INTERNET and such

Hi there, I've just happened to notice that I've been editing the SAY BYE ITS YOUR LAST TIME IN THE INTERNET to noncannon and that you, at least the last time, edited it back to not being noncannon. I don't know very much about the content of that page whatsoever, but what I can tell it doesn't have to do with loz. How can the Valiant Comics be noncannon and this not? For me it doesn't really matter, I just wonder what makes that page cannon information. Also, take a look at the discussion for the Wind page and the Relationship of Link and Zelda page that both of us have edited as well. Final words, I'm really a beginner when it comes to writing on wikis in general so please don't be mad at me. --Olle93 23:42, 12 july 2009 (UTC)

It is a community page it has nothing to with any realm of the Zelda Universe at all. Canon and non cannon do not apply because it is referring to real world and not the game world. Just like the Main Page is about the site itself. So those don't get noncanon tags because that is not relevant.—Matt ^(T C F S) 23:57, July 12, 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, exactly what Matt said. It is a page regarding an event that happened in the realm of the Zelda community. Not the actual series. So, it does not require a noncanon tag.—Mandi ^(T C) 01:14, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

Right, I get it... But be sure to check what I wrote on the zelda Link relationship discussion page. --Olle93 09:52, 13 july 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Zeldapedia

Is this "war" still going on? That last one was pathetic! I can't believe they're still going at it. Ancblue52 01:55, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

"War"? Nah...just some Zeldapedia user probably trying to vandalize for kicks.—Mandi ^(T C) 02:10, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

I used the term lightly! ;-) As I recall, it was quite a problem a little while ago. Ancblue52 02:12, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

Well, I joined this place in August. So that whole "issue" was before my time :P That, like now, was people just trying to be idiots.—Mandi ^(T C) 02:22, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Valiant Comics

Hey, about your continuation of placing non-canon tabs on Valiant Comic pages... For the most part, the majority of us agreed a few months back that we really had no say as to whether the comics were or weren't canon. As you might remember, I was one of the people who was for them being non-canon. Anyway, I took another glance, and realized that they fit into the storyline, and that Nintendo never stated anything about them. This happened on the Skype chat room. Ax, Matt (I think), Steve, and GM were there. We basically decided that we didn't have the right to conclude what is/isn't canon without clues from Nintendo. Your thoughts? P.S. How've you been? It's been a while. :) —Alter 18:11, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

Can't say I really paid attention to that conversation, but I do recall the consensus being that they were not canon. I just asked Matt too, he said the same thing. In my opinion, the comics are similar to the manga. They really have nothing to do with the storyline at all. I just really can not see how they could be considered canon.—Mandi ^(T C) 18:27, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
Yeah, I'm still alive :P How's things going with you?

Two things. One, I believe that Matt said that he had not read them, and said he really couldn't take a side. Two, I don't think you were there. Anyway, with the mangas, Nintendo has stated that they are non-canon. My thought is that if we push their popularity, and they become better known in the community, Nintendo will be more likely to clarify their status. Honestly, I really don't care which one they are- just that we don't make the wrong choice. I would say that they do add to the story. It includes a background for Link, new characters, and a continuation of the story.

May I suggest we do what the Star Wars wiki does, and create a "label" which says "Ambiguously Canon"? It is used when there is material which very well may be canon, but has not actually been stating as to what it is. —Alter 18:45, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
Things are going pretty well. :)

"create a "label" which says 'Ambiguously Canon'?"

Aye. Considering we really don't know for certain if they are canon or not. I'll bring that idea up with the rest of the staff.—Mandi ^(T C) 18:51, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

I did indeed say that. My exact words were:

[5/12/2009 9:06:36 PM] Matt: I can’t go either way. As I have not read them.

A template like that could work. It's need a decent picture though. So as not to look like the other one.—Matt ^(T C F S) 18:56, June 29, 2009 (UTC)

Alright. Sounds like a plan. :) Let me know what you guys decide. —Alter 19:27, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Send this message to the others

I quit the Zelda Webmaster forum (you know it, the "it's a secret to everyone" thing) and left my reasons why on there. I'm still willing to work for the Wiki, but I can't co-exist on that board no more, mainly because of Avenged. It's cause Mases that Avenged stays, and it's bs. Anyways, if you guys need me, just get me on my talk page and I'll get on Skype. -   YUSEI  12:49, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Death Sword

Hey Mandi, I just thought I'd let you know there is an editor who is removing things from the Hero's Spirit page against others' will, and apparently you even reverted this guy's removals as well, but he is turning this into an edit war. If you could talk to him or explain to him about edit wars, that'd be great. I don't want this to turn into another heated argument, but he's refusing to refrain from removing others' theory points, even if they have evidence to back them up. Link87 19:26, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

Thank you very much for protecting the page. We have a vandalist on our hands it appears that won't have it any other way but his. Link87 21:17, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Red Links

Mandi, you seem to be forgetting that the point of red links is point out that the page needs to be created- not to get rid of them. I would hope that you know that I know what I'm doing, and am already working on this stuff. In the future, just give me a little while before you start reverting my edits, since I'm most likely working on something that doesn't make any sense. :) Also, about the Saria (town) page, I simply forgot to remove that part. It simply shouldn't be stated as a fact, IMO. The game was created before OoT, you know. Thanks. P.S. How've you been? I've been out of town for quite a while, so I've missed all of my pals over here! —Alter 23:31, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Yeah. Sorry about that. I was patrolling edits, and when I seen those red links, my thought was to kill it ;) have to keep the wanted pages clean... But, I should have given you some time to create the page instead of quickly deleting it. Sorry.—Mandi ^(T C) 00:01, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
P.S. Well, welcome back :) Yeah, I'm pretty good. You?

It's all good. I feel the same way about the wiki. I've removed my share of red links that I now think probably should have stayed. Anyway, the red links are disappearing now that so many more people are creating new pages. The "wanted pages" section has gotten quite a bit smaller now. —Alter 00:08, 21 August 2009 (UTC) I was doing good until Firefox shrunk my resolution for no reason five minutes ago, and now I can barely see the text! It's like six point. lol

Weird. Is it just doing it on ZW? Or everywhere?—Mandi ^(T C) 00:12, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

Just ZW. It's driving me crazy. It's also ballooned up before, too. It reset to normal after a few hours. Let's hope it happens again. —Alter 00:18, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, I've had that happen. You can try pressing CTRL++ a few times (or simply View --> Zoom). That might help.—Mandi ^(T C) 00:24, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

Yep- that fixed it. It happened when I pressed ctrl + X. Thanks a mill! —Alter 01:25, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Red Links

Oh boy, Austin is telling an admin what to do? What madness is this?! Mandi, before you delete an image, be sure to delete all links under "What Links Here." Other wise, it will show up as a red link under Special:WantedFiles. Not doing so leaves me to delete them, which gives me something to do... but you should know by now what I expect from you as an editor and admin. I'm sure you know the steps of certain tasks, and the prerequisites to them. Just try to remember this old rule, ok? —Austin ^{(The Wiki Ninja)} 18:56, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Deleting

Also on the subject of deleting, and creating work for people... thanks for deleting all these files, Mandi, and I'm sorry that my transparencifying project is giving you so much to do. --• Pete (♪ | ♫) 19:52, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

Hey, no problem at all. That's my job anyhow, and you're giving us some good image work ;D—Mandi ^(T C) 19:54, October 15, 2009 (UTC)
