Proper Title Format
If you wish to create a new glitch page, please make sure to use the correct title formatting style. An example of the current glitch title formatting scheme, is:
Game Namespace - Glitch Name Here
Here are some examples of improper title formatting:
Bad Formatting
Majora's Mask:Miscellaneous Glitches 12 Hour Time Traveler
This is actually the former title formatting scheme that used to be used on this wiki. If a page looks like this, please help us out by moving it over to the current formatting scheme.
majora's mask miscellaneous glitches - 12 hour time traveler
The URL is not capitalized. If your URL looks like this, then it is wrong. Please capitalize it.
Majora's Mask Miscellaneous Glitches 12 Hour Time Traveler
This is better, but it is lacking the hyphen between the word "glitches" and the glitch's name itself.
Correct Formatting
Majora's Mask Miscellaneous Glitches - 12 Hour Time Traveler
This title has been properly formatted. Among other things, it is capitalized and has the hyphen between the namespace and the glitch name.
Creating the actual page
Disabling the Table of Contents
Is a table of contents unnecessary due to the length of your page? If so, add this:
__NOTOC__
Otherwise use:
{{TOC right}}
YouTube Video
YouTube videos can be put into the page by taking the following code and inserting the video ID of your video:
<video type="youtube" id="Youtube video ID goes here" width="320"/>
Warning Messagebox
You can have a general message here if you want. Only use this when discussing DANGEROUS glitches.
{{GeneralWarningTemplate|WARNING!|'''Insert warning here.'''}}

Categories
Place the glitch in the correct category.
For example, if the glitch is from Link's Awakening, you would mark down the following categories:

If your glitch is unverified, add this tag in addition to the game category:
[[Category:Not Verified]]
If you did not upload a screenshot--assuming that your glitch can be visibly seen--add this tag to the page:
[[Category:Pages Needing Images]]
If your glitch is not of the visible variety (i.e. A music related glitch) add this tag to the page:
[[Category:Pages Needing Videos]]
Do not tag "Pages Needing Images" and "Pages Needing Videos" in the same article. Use either or.

WARNING!
If you perform this glitch your file will be in a endless loop forever and you have to start a new game to get out of there. Backup your file before trying this glitch.
Instructions
- Perform the City In The Sky Early glitch or beat the Temple of Time so you have access to the Cannon.
- Go to the Cannon so that Minda is floating over the cannon and that the screen shows the "Warp" and "Speak to Minda" options.
- Save the game and reload your saved game file.
Results
You will be in the cannon room. If you try to warp yourself or the cannon Minda will say that Shad is watching you. If you try to leave the room the camera will look at Shad and he will say something like "(Players Name) where are you going?". Look around, Shad is nowhere to be seen! He isn't loaded! Your save file will be stuck like this forever and unless you backup your file before trying this you will have to start a new game to progress.
Notes
Nintendo of America has fixed this glitch in newer versions of Twilight Princess (Wii).
