Help Guide

Here, users can nominate and vote for Zelda Wiki's next featured article. Any article worthy of being featured exemplifies the Wiki's quality standards, and goes above and beyond what is expected in a normal encyclopedia entry. Featured articles should:

1. Have exceptionally fluid American English grammar and spelling.
2. Be lengthy, yet detailed.
3. Be well organized (as in subdivisions).
4. Cite sources, and cite them properly.
5. Be properly categorized.
6. Contain the most up-to-date information possible.
7. Have no template requesting improvement, merging, deletion, or any template that may in some way state the article is not of excellent quality. In this respect, there should be no duplicate of the nominated article, nor should the article be a duplicate of another page.
8. NOT be copied from Wikipedia, or from any site that does not run the Wiki, under any circumstances!

For help on the correct format used to add nominations or votes, see the Featured Content Help.

Sage

With the work of the Zelda Wiki community, this article has become a well written, and informative page. Quite an accomplishment to everyone who contributed.User:Mandi/sig 04:28, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

1. It seems to me to be rather well organized. And it has a very appealing overall layout. And it certainly fits the other criteria.User:Matt/sig 23:37, March 28, 2009 (UTC)
2. I would vote for this one because it goes more in depth in Sages than Rauru's page does. --Skermefaten 23:51, 2 April 2009 (UTC)Skermefaten
3. Very good article, articulate, and an excellent example of what subject directories could be with the links to the main article and well written summaries on each topic. All images are relevant, clear and useful. And a solid mix of references to boot. User:Axiomist/sig 03:14, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
4. Very organized, and quite easily read. It flows well, and the pictures couldn't be placed onscreen any better or more relevantly. →Kochjr 21:18, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
5. Well written and organized, it really delves into all of the Sages and it more than qualifies for featured status.--Kresh64 22:04, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
6. I think it was very nice and showed more info.--Link6767 20:54, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
7. I think this was a good article, written well and good info. A very good article. Well written.User:Supermann61 11:48 May 8, 2009

• I've spotted what I consider to be quite a large omission in this article; there's barely any mention of Princess Zelda's role as the crucial Seventh Sage (or Maiden) in ALttP, OoT and FSA. I'd suggest that this needs to be rectified, or at least discussed here, before this becomes Featured. User:Adam/sig 19:49, 4 May 2009 (UT

• The article needs some more references and quotes from the Japanese versions of the games to highlight version discrepancies between the sages' roles. First, they were not Princess Zelda's tutors in the Japanese version of TP.Ganondorfdude11 07:54, 4 June 2009 (UTC) - Voted negated as it is not a valid opposition .Just suggests more things to add to the article, of which, all the mentioned has been added.User:Melchizedek/sig 09:14, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Twinrova

Matt pointed this one out to me recently, and now that it's complete with full references, I think it definitely meets (or exceeds) all the requirements. A very well put together article about one of my favourite bosses of OOT! User:Adam/sig 18:32, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

1. Well, the article is well written and organized, and has lots of references. It looks interesting enough to be featured. User:RupeeLord/sig 19:37, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
2. This is another one that was basically a stub when I got here. Now it is so much bigger, better. And with cool pictures we didn't have we back when. A very good article indeed. Plenty of references now. That's good. Must be featured.User:Matt/sig 20:01, May 2, 2009 (UTC)
3. Very well written, very well laid out, and plenty of references. It is very well sized and has great pictures. This one is a must-feature in my opinion. Shnappy 15:06, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
4. It is well written and has good pictures. It has references and is looks very interesting. It is 'featured worthy'. Well done to everyone who wrote it. - ShellShocker 09:46, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
5. I vote this gets up. There doesn't seem to be an issue about the section and it gives a lot of info about Twinrova. - AtrumLevis  (My Talk Page) (My Contributions) 23:09, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
6. Well organized, has enough references. Needs to be featured.User:Mandi/sig 06:26, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
