{{Xion4ever|time=01:09, 5 August 2014 (UTC)|text=Xion appears yet again to discuss the addition of information.

So, as marked on this month's [[KHWiki:Roundtable|Roundtable]], there is a question of incorporating tutorials/transcripts from in-game to the database. Our current method has been to create [[Forum:Notes 27, (KHII, Gummi Tutorial Logs) - Xion4ever|Ansem's Computer]] [[Forum:Notes 28 (KHC, Hercules Memo Logs) - TheFifteenthMember|forums]]. That's it. The information just sits there. Just now on the IRC FM and I were talking about this. Below is the conversation.

[20:46] <+Xion4ever> As for this -> http://www.khwiki.com/index.php?title=Forum:Notes_27,_%28KHII,_Gummi_Tutorial_Logs%29_-_Xion4ever&t=20140513030425<br>
[20:46] <+Xion4ever> I can't remember if the discussion is on mine or Neumannz's talkpage...either way,<br>
[20:47] <+Xion4ever> I think we mentioned about adding it to a proper mechanics section on a Gummi article.<br>
[20:48] <+Xion4ever> Found it. -> http://www.khwiki.com/User_talk:Neumannz#User:Xion4ever.2FAdvice_Log<br>
[20:48] <FifteenthMember> Most of the Gummi articles need reworking anyway<br>
[20:48] <FifteenthMember> Like the ships<br>
[20:49] <+Xion4ever> Project Gummi is a whole other beast.<br>
[20:51] <FifteenthMember> Xion, that discussion doesn't say how to incorporate the transcripts into the mainspace<br>
[20:52] <+Xion4ever> "would be redundant to a (thorough) Mechanics section on a main Gummi Ship article, but it should still be included, possibly as a hidden section? Maybe for now it should be a separate article with a Merge template?"<br>
[20:52] <+Xion4ever> In short, mine are basically pointless with a thorough mechanics section.<br>
[20:53] <+Xion4ever> We do not have a page just for tutorials so the second option of a separate article w/ merge template is knocked out as well.<br>
[20:54] <FifteenthMember> However, transcripts straight from the game are incredibly valuable to the people who want them<br>
[20:54] <FifteenthMember> I'm wondering if we could preserve them somehow<br>
[20:54] <FifteenthMember> (and yes, I know people who care about transcripts)<br>
[20:54] <+Xion4ever> @ FM: Should we create a transcripts page?<br>
[20:55] <FifteenthMember> Individual ones?<br>
[20:55] <+Xion4ever> This should probably be discussed on a forum.<br>
[20:55] <+Xion4ever> Anyways, no. I'm thinking either a huge Tutorials article or List of Tutorials (Kingdom Hearts), etc.<br>
[20:55] <FifteenthMember> My plan was we create sub-articles (e.g. "Gummi Missions/Battle Tip Transcripts")<br>
[20:56] <FifteenthMember> Tutorials probably do need to be covered<br>
[20:56] <FifteenthMember> They have an entire section in the menu in some games<br>
[20:56] <FifteenthMember> And are there in the Momentos for KH3D<br>
[20:56] <FifteenthMember> They're similar to Reports<br>
[20:56] <+Xion4ever> Hmm...<br>
[20:56] <+Xion4ever> I say forum discussion.

So, here we are. Should we have [a] tutorial article(s)? If so, how would they be named and grouped? I think the information is worth having, but I do not know how we can implement them to the mainspace.}}

{{TheFifteenthMember|time={{User:TheFifteenthMember/Sig1}} 14:18, 5 August 2014 (UTC)|default=First, we should find out what the Tutorial screens are called in each game. I'm not sure if KH, COM and KHII record their tutorials, but Re:coded and BBS have a tutorial section in the pause menu (we need to check the exact names) and the Momentos in KH3D also has all the tutorial screens. With games that don't keep a full record of tutorials, I'm not sure we should give them their own pages and split whatever tips/transcripts we do have between the various gameplay and minigame articles.

Re:coded, BbS and KH3D should have a tutorial page as joining them all together would create an article far too long. To note, the Re:coded tutorials are already split into multiple categories in-game so it'd be easier to model that page. Another thing we could do to make the tutorial pages more wholesome is include unlock requirements for each tutorial (e.g. "Obtain [[Glide]]"). We'll need to do some more researching here, though, possibly a new project.}}
