Keyblade Order

Hey there! Could you please tell me why you reverted my edits on the Keyblade pages IRT their info boxes? As in, why does the Re:COM tab come before KH2? Is it done chronologically, instead of release order? Because if so, then pages like Destiny's Embrace need to be changed, because in the info box, the KH2 tab comes before BBS. --File:Sprite Riku KHD.png mikoto 03:19, 22 April 2023 (UTC)

Sure! As you initially guessed, the infoboxes are ordered based on release date of the games. However, the remakes are placed under the original games (usually, both versions of the game are condensed into a single tab under the original's name). For the bonus Keyblades in Re:COM, and some abilities introduced in BBS and carried over into Re:coded, this does mean that their first real-world appearance isn't the first tab; in such cases, we have to make sure the lead of the article clearly states what game they were first introduced in.

For instance, EXP Zero was first a thing in KHIIFM, but it was then brought over to the HD version of the KHFM. So, the infobox (once it's made) will have KHFM as the first tab and KHIIFM as the second, aligning with the release order of the original versions of the game. (There's also a small bit of discussion on this topic near the end of Forum:Placing Kingdom Hearts coded, if you'd like.) Hope that makes sense. —Aid1043 (talk) 17:18, 22 April 2023 (UTC)

Music

Hello, I noticed that you deleted the file of "A Night on the Bare Mountain." I was going to check why it had been deleted, but it seems to be cut off. On my end it reads "(A Night on the Bare Mountain (and the other originally orchestrated tracks) doesn)". I'm assuming that what it was trying to say is that the orchestral tracks are identical to their original versions (in this case, the DDD version). Am I correct? —Giantgold 2:47, 24 April 2023 (UTC)

Yes, that's exactly right, sorry about that. I've added a note to the album pages for clarification. —Aid1043 (talk) 02:51, 24 April 2023 (UTC)

Thank you! Sorry about that. But I now have another question. On the page for "Showdown at Hollow Bastion", both the KH2 and 2.5 versions are present, even though they are identical. Checking the article's history, someone previously removed the 2.5 version for this reason, but someone else undid the removal. Was removing the 2.5 version the right move, and undoing that was a mistake? I was going to remove the BBS and 1.5 versions of "Another Side," (not the battle version in the case of 1.5) but this made me stop. Do you think they should they be taken down or not? —Giantgold 2:57, 24 April 2023 (UTC)

I think you're right about "Showdown at Hollow Bastion", we should be safe to re-remove the 2.5 version. The same goes for the 1.5 recording of regular "Another Side"; if the files are redundant, removing them is the right call.

That said, keep the BBS version of "Another Side". BBS did this strange thing where they made new, higher-quality recordings of KH and KHII tracks – similar to what the HD collections did – but then didn't bother to include them in the soundtrack. There should be a full list of these updated BBS orchestrations on the album page. —Aid1043 (talk) 03:25, 24 April 2023 (UTC)

OK, thank you for clearing this up for me! —Giantgold 3:27, 24 April 2023 (UTC)

Merch project

Just wanted to say nice work on that Merchandise project. Let me know if you need any help. TheSilentHero 18:14, 30 April 2023 (UTC)

Thank you! I actually do have a question about how to title a page: while most of the merchandise can be sorted into articles by brand, there are some designers that made just one or two products, rather than having an actual collaboration event or merch campaign. I'm planning on having a sort of catch-all article for these minor brands, though I'm not sure what an appropriate title would be. I've thrown around "Miscellaneous brand merchandise", "Minor brand merchandise", and some other ideas (maybe a "List of..."), but nothing seems quite right. Any ideas? —Aid1043 (talk) 19:55, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
