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). Results May Vary (talk) 22:45, 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)
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)

- 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.
