Vandalism
Both this page and the main article were totally removed last night, replaced with "hi". Second time I've fixed vandalism on the page, but I still don't know what to do or how to report it. Help?! --PIE
- Well, as for what to do, the most important thing is to fix the vandalism, and you have done that. Fortunately, the Wiki saves all the revisions for us and you didn't lose any work (I know you've spent a ton of time working on this stuff). As for how to report it, I don't believe there is a report feature of any kind. This Talk page is probably the most effective way. I'll talk with Jason about what else can be done. --Sheik-Yumil1988 22:59, 5 December 2006 (CST)
- Well, we could also protect the page... but if the person is registered, they could edit it. So, you timeline theorists would have to register in order to edit it. - James
- What could possibly motivate a person to make 3 consecutive attacks on a page? Meh, fixed this weekend's bit of vandalism, and I'm not keen or doing so again. How do you protect a page on media-wiki? --PIE

Nintendo's Official Timeline
A while back, did not Nintendo release an official timeline in a story form? It was on the official page, but has since vanished due to newer games coming out. I have it saved if anybody wants to see it...
- Commonly called the "NoA order" it can be found online at:
- It is complete up to the release of tWW (which caused a paradine shift in theorising, away from debate on the number of links and towrds debate on the number of timelines) and was quite influential at the time of its release. From a modern perspective, the principles of the theory are solid in every regard except its interesting placement of Link's Awakening, and are listed on the Timeline Principles page. The more creative aspects of the theory (ie the creation of Termina) are cool to read but considered non canonical.--PIE
Featrued Article
- What? TP run off with some other encyclopedia? Not such a "masterpeice" any more, is it? Yeah, we knew you'd come crawling back...
Seriously Jason, this is crazy cool. Thank you so very much, we're astounded.
But ach! All the pressure. So much yet to be done! Back to work!--PIE
Wha?!?!
Could we possibly not abbreviate the game names? Not everyone knows what they mean. I don't know what they mean and I'm a good Zelda Fan. --Dinoshaur 04:40, 24 December 2006 (CST)
- Good point, timeline jargon comes easy to some, but the casual reader really should have a guide... O.K., threw up a quick fix. It needs to be wiki'd but I'm out of time. --PIE
- I think what he meant was to replace the instances of jargon in the page with the full names. I tried to read it last night, and I was confused nearly the whole time. --74.73.243.146 18:59, 21 January 2007 (CST)
- Hmmm, This is a problem. To replace Acronym's with game names causes an insave ammount of clutter in the "popular lines" section. Here's a question: To those who have difficulty with the acronyms, do you actually have a base idea of each game, or are you generally unfamiliar with the early parts of the series? Will "Adventure of Link" truly mean anything more to you than "AoL"?--PIE
