On the left, the image was wonderfully drawn by [[User:Troisnyxetienne|<font color=chocolate>Troisnyxétienne</font>]] and was the icon for the KHWiki in most cases, but not all. On the right, we have the logo carefully crafted by [[User:Chainoffire|<font color=chocolate>Chainoffire</font>]] that came to represent the Keyhole. These images were often used in our posts so keep an eye out for them!

Every user who was around for the celebrations in April is entitled to a limited edition userbox, which was created by [[User:TheSilentHero|<font color=chocolate>TheSilentHero</font>]]. The Keyhole and KHWiki each have their own version of the userbox, sporting their respective 10th anniversary logos.

Long ago- ten years, to be exact- there was a user by the name of "[http://kingdomhearts.wikia.com/wiki/User:Riku5464 Riku5464]". Although he is inactive now, this user would be known throughout the ages as the founder of the ''Kingdom Hearts Wiki.'' Although Riku5464 was not active for too long, his beginning edits and ideas laid the framework for the newborn database.

Being a Wikia, users come and go; policies change according to the current consensus; and new features are introduced and accepted or refused. The Wikia had been used to change- it is a part of life- but there was one change that was the “straw that broke the camel's back.”[https://www.khwiki.com/KHWiki:About 1] And so we went through this process known as “the split”, and not long after, “the merge.” Here's some of the forums you guys can read if you want to get some ideas about the split and merge: [http://kingdomhearts.wikia.com/wiki/Forum:Keeping_the_Content 1], [http://kingdomhearts.wikia.com/index.php?title=Forum:What_this_site_is&t=20111219231635 2], [[Forum:The Merge|3]], [http://kingdomhearts.wikia.com/wiki/Forum:Merge_Decision 4].

As a result, the wiki forked. The majority moved to a new independent website, known as the KHWiki, while those who chose to stay at Wikia rechristened themselves as the Keyhole. As we faced our darkest era, the community crumbled down to discord and disunity with arguments or personal attacks becoming commonplace.

Through these efforts, the community once again became one and both wikis became a more lively, friendlier place to work. A small group of editors believed that their work was not yet over so [https://www.khwiki.com/User:KeybladeSpyMaster/Operation:_Keychain Operation: Keychain] was launched, an even more ambitious scheme that aimed to not only increase the unity between the KHWiki and Keyhole further, but also establish a chain of ''Kingdom Hearts''-related wikis and boost the internet's interest in the franchise in general. Henceforth, the idea for the ''Kingdom Hearts Wikiverse'' was born.

:So yeah, moral of this story: don't troll your (sorta) internet friends too hard, or they'll go on with your lives and you'll spend the next 5 years of your life visiting an empty IRC channel every day in hopes of companionship. Also, don't fall asleep with your d*** in your hand. Trust me on that one.

[[File:Magazine Issue 8 IntroTo.png|thumb|right|280px|A rough diagram showing the distribution of information across the KHWV and the overlaps between wikis.]]
Let's get straight in. The ''Kingdom Hearts Wikiverse'' (KHWikiverse or KHWV in short) is best described as a group of wikis that collectively aims to be the ultimate ''Kingdom Hearts'' resource by offering information on every aspect of the franchise. The word "collectively" is important because each wiki has its own scope and purpose within the wider wikiverse and in order to get all the KH knowledge together, you'd have to combine all the wikis' content. While this means that readers may have to occasionally hop across wikis to reach a particular type of information, it is hoped that our separate wikis will be able to benefit by focussing on fulfilling a single aim instead of trying to cater to many audiences, which are each looking for different information presented in a different way.

:It was almost six years ago, so it's kind of fuzzy. I think I just wanted a place to look at more pictures of the characters, since the idea of Disney being fused with original characters blew my nine-year-old self away. I really liked printing out pictures to put on the wall in my room, so once I found the KH Manga at the library I was ready to add to my collection. But I also had no idea there was a community that comes with a wiki.
