User talk:Zeal

Welcome
Hi there, thank you for helping out here! :) I did a majority of the content here (including logos, templates, etc, some reused from the Kingdom Hearts Wiki and Mario Wiki). This wiki was founded in Jan 2020, and has been an uphill effort for sure. Results May Vary (talk) 22:20, December 23, 2021 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the welcome! I'm very shy but I do hope I'll be able to help out to some degree. ^^; --Zeal (talk) 22:23, December 23, 2021 (UTC)


 * No problem, and you already are helping by uploading the Pixel Master sprites. :D You might be interested in seeing the format of some articles like Zombie Dragon, Flame Sword, Cloud Strife, Concentration, Magna Roader, and Mt. Hobs. By the way, I know you're new but are you able to create new pages? I think the MediaWiki software is set to allow new pages to be created if your account is at least one day old & you've made at least 5 edits (I'm just wondering because I thought file uploads were one of the autoconfirmed limits -- you're good btw, don't worry).

 * I made a new category for the sprites, so I can proooobably make new pages proper? (also sorry for making so many tiny edits at once I feel like I'm making a mess of things aaa) --Zeal (talk) 22:52, December 23, 2021 (UTC)


 * Oh yeah that's true, you did. I would try to get things done in one edit (I suggest using Preview button before publishing) but it's no worry if it's like 3-5 times. Just don't make like, for example, 16-20 minor edits to the same article in a row. Results May Vary (talk) 22:54, December 23, 2021 (UTC)

Awesome!
Awesome edits to the Goblin article and gallery :D Results May Vary (talk) 21:28, December 24, 2021 (UTC)


 * Oh gosh, thanks! I don't think I'm terribly good at writing or structuring things but I'm going to try my best nonetheless. Please let me know if there's anything I'm doing wrong at any point or anything. ^^; --Zeal (talk) 02:09, December 25, 2021 (UTC)
 * You did teach me something new with the distinction of the tutorial Goblins in Final Fantasy V :) Results May Vary (talk) 04:44, December 25, 2021 (UTC)

Responses
I gave my responses on Gallery talk:Goblin. I hope they help :) Results May Vary (talk) 21:31, January 15, 2022 (UTC)
 * Definitely, thanks a lot~ --Zeal (talk) 22:48, January 15, 2022 (UTC)
 * No prob, I hope we can continue working together more in the future. I just been kind of more tired lately... and doing original research while writing RPG-related articles, cross check official sources, etc... quite exhausting isn't it Results May Vary (talk) 00:25, January 16, 2022 (UTC)

Cure article looks phenomenal!!!
And yes you implemented the Thai language perfectly to the Foreign names template as well. All these great contribs make me want to post :D :D :D a lot! Results May Vary (talk) 03:57, January 18, 2022 (UTC)
 * aaaaa, thanks! I'm still consistently worried I'm doing things wrong, hopefully I'll get past that at some point. ^^; --Zeal (talk) 04:07, January 18, 2022 (UTC)
 * I think you will -- you have done really good work thus far & have gotten hang of the style here like almost immediately. That's not common for a newly registered user (I'm not being rude to them either -- this is a compliment :) ). Results May Vary (talk) 04:26, January 18, 2022 (UTC)
 * Amazing work! Definitely missing some FF8/FF10 info around here (for the main series I've only gone up to FF7 & FF9 as i haven't reached the end of FF8, FF10, or FF12 as well as FF3). Results May Vary (talk) 19:03, January 26, 2022 (UTC)
 * Oh gosh, I'm still totally in a state where I'm scared I'm messing everything up. But given I've played all the main series games (though I've not finished a huge percentage of the content in the MMOs and still need to get around to finishing the rest of XV) and a significant portion of the spinoffs I figure I should try my best to add info from all of them and all. ^^;
 * (also, question, I labeled Rude "Turks:Rude" in the enemy box thing in my edits yesterday since that's what the menu calls him in-battle ingame, but should I just remove the first part for Reno and Elena too if they show up on any pages I work on going forward?)
 * --Zeal (talk) 19:53, January 26, 2022 (UTC)
 * Ohhhh sorry my mistake -- feel free to add the "Turks:Rude" back. I thought it was a spacing error or something. Results May Vary (talk) 20:13, January 26, 2022 (UTC)
 * Yeahhh, FF7's English script can be really weird about that sorta thing. ^^; So sorry to bother over random minor things like this! --Zeal (talk) 20:27, January 26, 2022 (UTC)
 * But yeah in-game name should take precedent, so you're correct :D Results May Vary (talk) 20:30, January 26, 2022 (UTC)

Goblin names
Are these names in other language of Goblin in terms of Final Fantasy or the folklore creatures themselves? It should be the former (just making sure) in case it's not, as translations for subjects with regular names can differ. Results May Vary (talk) 05:51, January 18, 2022 (UTC)
 * It's the former, yeah, largely verified by cross-checking against foreign-language Let's Plays and streams of official releases across the series. I can't guarantee I didn't miss the odd game with a slightly different name for them, though, my search was pretty wide, after all. I can speak Japanese and to a lesser extent German but it'd be a bit tougher to double-check guides and the like for any of the others. ^^;


 * As an aside, the German Mystic Quest name is kind of a pun, Giftzwerg is literally "poison dwarf" but it's also slang for an unpleasant person, I wasn't sure whether to try to fit a note of that there.


 * --Zeal (talk) 06:53, January 18, 2022 (UTC)
 * Okay, appreciated :D. Also I do think it's a good idea to add a note about the German FFMQ name because it is an interesting piece of information. Results May Vary (talk) 07:04, January 18, 2022 (UTC)

WIP on new enemy stat templates
You can see on Final Fantasy bestiary. Then it can be transcluded into the articles themselves -- more efficient than manually adding stats into the articles themselves.
