Hi! I'm just someone who likes documenting stuff, and making things understandable :) . Not experienced in modding OoT or anything of the sort, just able to poke at the internals and see how various things work.

Organizing the Wikis

(just scratch/notes, don't take as final)

Basic Points

• Organize layout by subject area, where a subject area is a big "subsystem" of the game (e.g. models, actors, sounds, maps, ...)
• Each subject area has at least one introductory page, serving as a high-level overview of that subsystem.
• Info that's not Zelda-specific but is useful anyway should be in a supplementary namespace (e.g. Notes:MIPS).
• Templatize/modularize simple data about the game, primarily filesystem info (file names, offsets, and so on).
  • This involves getting a grip on all the numerous "X list" pages as well.

Example Possible OoT Layout

• Ocarina N64
  • Introduction (things like explaining it has a filesystem of its own)
  • Filesystem
    • List of files (one page for all or one per version)
  • Code (assembler-related stuff)
    • Actors
  • Models
    • Objects
    • Maps
    • Collision
  • Images (textures etc.)
  • Scenes/Rooms
  • Audio
    • Sound Effects
    • Music
    • Environmental Audio (???)
  • Other data (item stats, enemy HP, and the like)

• Debug ROM (A user's guide for using the debug ROM, basically)

• Ocarina 3DS
  • Intro(?)
  • Differences from N64 (not every last thing, but the notable and not-obvious stuff)
  • [other subject areas which I can't make up atm]

• N64 Notes

• 3DS Notes
