To Do's
|
 - All files need to be licensed and categorized using the FileInfo template. See Help:Upload for information on how to do so properly. A list of unlicensed files can be found at: Unlicensed Files. While categorizing files, it is encouraged to take note of low quality images and add them to the Image Requests page.
- All instances of Japanese names (or other foreign names) that are found in the main part of an article should be instead placed at the bottom of the article using the Names template. All instances of Template:De should now be placed in the Names template as well.
- Quite a few articles do not have enough or any sources. We encourage members to locate and add sources to these articles. A list of articles in need of sources can be found at: Articles lacking sources. That list is by no means complete. There are countless other articles that need sources. For more information, see Help:References.
- Any articles that use second-person narrative or "the player" (such as, "You fight Ganon," "The player must use the Hookshot") should be changed so that it refers to the specific characters ("Link fights Ganon," "Link must use the Hookshot"). Any articles that are not immediately fixed should be tagged with the "YouLink" template.
Helpful Tip

Here's a useful hint from the archive:
The correct format for adding links to game titles from the Legend of Zelda series is using a piped link to the game's article, but showing the short version of the title and written in italics. For example you'd have to type this:
''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]''
to display the correct link like this:
The Wind Waker
You might thing that seems like a lot of hard work, and you'd be right! So why not use a nifty shortcut? Templates have been set up enabling you to use the game's abbreviated initials to make the same link, so all you'd need to type in this example is:
{{TWW}}
Typing this has the same effect as the long-winded link above! You can check the full list of game article links here.
