Tears of the Kingdom Hyrule Castle

Should we count the whole castle as a dungeon or only the airborne part? I ask mainly because the game only considers the airborne portion of the castle a dungeon. ZeldaFan8000 (talk) 02:38, June 17, 2023 (UTC)

I'd say the airborne portion from what you say, but I haven't done much in it yet to say for myself yet. - Sanityormadness (talk) 08:41, June 17, 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for answering, got it, only airborne portion. Grounded portion part of overworld then? ZeldaFan8000 (talk) 20:35, June 17, 2023 (UTC)

Yeah. - Sanityormadness (talk) 21:19, June 17, 2023 (UTC)

Got it, thanks for answering. ZeldaFan8000 (talk) 21:23, June 17, 2023 (UTC)

Name change

Would I be able to request a username change? My username is TheSloppySalad and I would like to have it changed now that I have grown up. TheSloppySalad (talk) 06:43, June 25, 2023 (UTC)

Hello, would like a name change as well. Name was picked out of the blue to start editing, but I have a new name in mind as a male user. Zeldai (talk) 07:00, September 8, 2024 (UTC)

What name would you want? - Sanityormadness (talk) 12:16, September 8, 2024 (UTC)

Done. - Sanityormadness (talk) 10:16, September 9, 2024 (UTC)

Unobtainable Meals in Tears of the Kingdom

Thank you for the idea of mixing the two different types of meats together, using that trick I was able to make a bunch of different meals that I thought were not possible before. You could even use that same trick but with Mushrooms! - QuillX (talk) 17:21, July 3, 2023 (UTC)

Totk interactive map

Hyrule Castle is incorrectly linked to the general page as opposed to the botw/totk page. How should that be fixed? ZeldaFan8000 (talk) 05:31, July 5, 2023 (UTC)

You'd be better asking Locke about the map, I don't have much to do with it. You can also ask on the ZD Discord (link in the main site navigation), or open an issue on the map github: https://github.com/zeldadungeon/maps/issues - Sanityormadness (talk) 00:32, July 6, 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for answering, will do. ZeldaFan8000 (talk) 02:47, July 6, 2023 (UTC)

Beneath Hyrule Castle

Is this good? I added a dungeon Infobox to the page since the area is pretty much the game's de facto final dungeon. ZeldaFan8000 (talk) 08:40, July 10, 2023 (UTC)

Yeah, that's fine. - Sanityormadness (talk) 10:40, July 10, 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for answering ZeldaFan8000 (talk) 11:21, July 10, 2023 (UTC)

New page

Are we allowed to make new pages that don’t have a category to go under? Because I want to make a page for zonai device builds.  the preceding unsigned post by Toxic Steve6670 (contribs) at {{{2}}} (UTC)

Depends what you mean. Are you talking about the autobuildable stuff you pick up schematics for, or just random builds? Because if it's just random builds... there's a nigh-infinite combination of potential builds, depending on how thinly you slice number of parts, what parts, how they're placed, etc. And they don't have names.

If you really want to show off some of the builds you came up with, just do it on your user page.

PS: Sign your posts with ~~~~. And don't randomly use <big>. - Sanityormadness (talk) 18:39, July 25, 2023 (UTC)

I mean a page where people can post their own builds so others can try them out. - Toxic Steve6670

New page

How's this? Just created it. ZeldaFan8000 (talk) 07:05, August 23, 2023 (UTC)

Looks fine for a stub (although use {{TotK-Stub}} on Tears of the Kingdom pages, not just {{Stub}}!) - Sanityormadness (talk) 11:30, August 24, 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for answering. ZeldaFan8000 (talk) 14:19, August 24, 2023 (UTC)

Done - ZeldaFan8000 (talk) 16:47, August 24, 2023 (UTC)

Revision Reverted

Are we not allowed to add new useful pins? I'm surprised that my useful pin was reverted. Did I break a rule or something?

TotK interactive map: Duuplicate marker for cooking pot next to Gerudo Canyon tower

Hi, I noticed that the cooking pot next to the Gerudo Canyon Skyview Tower has been added to the interactive map twice, both as Pot_G090 and Pot_G009. Both markers have the exact same coords. Benna96 (talk) 01:00, December 12, 2023 (UTC)

Interactive map: Completion data for concurrent playthroughs

Hello! I like playing through these games (BotW & TotK) multiple times, and like marking various map things things off on each one. The interactive maps on here are my preferred way of doing this. However, sometimes I have 2 playthroughs going on at the same time (glitches & no glitches for example), and my question is, how can I have completion data for both?

The data's tied to my account, or cookies if not logged in, to my knowledge, so I only really see 2 ways:

1. Make another account. This is almost always not permitted, so that's a nope, unless this specific use case is permitted.
2. Use an alternate browser where I'm not logged in. I'd need to be very careful to never clear the cookies for the site to not lose the data & would lose the ability to switch devices.

Suggestions?

Ideally I'd of course like the maps to just support multiple completion data slots, but that'd require reprogramming how the maps interact with the data, which is likely a lot of work.

Benna96 (talk) 23:30, December 21, 2023 (UTC)

Making a separate account solely for map completion purposes is completely fine. The rule you linked applies to wiki editing using multiple accounts which is why it says "generally". --Charitwo (talk) 23:46, December 21, 2023 (UTC)

Alright, thank you for answering! I'll make another account then :) Benna96 (talk) 04:10, December 23, 2023 (UTC)

Found a new item for map, but could not add it.

i found a strong zoanite longsword at the latitude longitude 4661, 3703. Just south of the zoanite longbow, if you go along the path untill you hit the wall and then ascend at the long lat, i found myself standing in front of the blade. I cant add this to the map for some reason, so i wanted to pass this to you for verification. Thanks!

Hello! After verifying the location in game, it looks like this is not in a chest but just laying out on it's own like weapons found near monster camps. We currently don't have those setup as PINs. You may add such a request to our GitHub as a feature request, but there's no guarantee we will be able to implement in the near future. --Charitwo (talk) 00:38, June 1, 2024 (UTC)

Hateno School New Page

I was trying to create the Hateno School page but the wiki marked it as spam. I have what I was going to add as saved as a text file.

Hey Nebby, would you be able to pop on our discord? I can tell you how to bypass the filter until we can look into why it triggered --Charitwo (talk) 18:59, June 12, 2024 (UTC)

Got marked as spam?

Hi, I tried to create an article for the Stable Association in ToTK but it got marked as spam and said to contact an admin. What do? Almostfini (talk) 04:32, July 12, 2024 (UTC)

Hey Almostfini, please try to create the page again. --Charitwo (talk) 05:04, July 12, 2024 (UTC)

Tried again, same problem. I've gone over the formatting several times and I don't see any errors. It works fine in the preview too, I just can’t publish it. Almostfini (talk) 07:59, July 12, 2024 (UTC)

Can you post it by overwriting the page I just stubbed in? - Sanityormadness (talk) 09:37, July 12, 2024 (UTC)

That worked, thanks! Almostfini (talk) 16:36, July 12, 2024 (UTC)

The spam rule has also been adjusted so this shouldn't happen for now. --Charitwo (talk) 16:43, July 12, 2024 (UTC)

Thanks!

I got my userpage created! Skulltulguy (talk) 02:19, August 22, 2024 (UTC)

Echoes of Wisdom map not saving and is missing the page used after login

The Echoes of Wisdom map won't save for logged in users due to an error:

{"error":{"code":"badvalue","info":"Unrecognized value for parameter \"map\": eow.","*":"See https://www.zeldadungeon.net/wiki/api.php for API usage. Subscribe to the mediawiki-api-announce mailing list at <https://lists.wikimedia.org/postorius/lists/mediawiki-api-announce.lists.wikimedia.org/> for notice of API deprecations and breaking changes."}}

It seems the API endpoint wasn't updated to actually support saving for this map.

Also the page: Zelda_Dungeon:Echoes_of_Wisdom_Map is missing and is the target of the redirect after logging-in to the map, it should really just have a link back to it as a start, but I'm unable to create the page myself as creating it gets blocked as "Spam".

- Segev (talk) 21:43, October 18, 2024 (UTC)

I don't have anything to do with the maps, but I've passed this on to the relevant team. - Sanityormadness (talk) 00:06, October 19, 2024 (UTC)

Hello Segev, I made a change and was able to save successfully afterwards, can you please try saving markers again. --Charitwo (talk) 02:57, October 19, 2024 (UTC)

It seems to be working now. Thanks! Would be nice to also create the page I mentioned with a link back to the map. But I can't seem to do it myself as it gets blocked as spam. Segev (talk) 06:51, October 19, 2024 (UTC)
