You know, I seriously think we need 19 responses per question, to comply with the 19 types of WikiFauna available, so we can easily choose which one the user corresponds to.

Different Fauna

 * WikiGiant
 * WikiGoon

Whoa ! So wait a minute : can you pass me the link to each ? So that I can see what types of personalities they have ?  TNÉ  En avant Bravo ! 04:00, September 16, 2009 (UTC)

Here is one page and then all the others are in a navigation box at the bottom. - Heart  Of Oblivion  04:10, September 16, 2009 (UTC)

OMG. Now here's to thinking what characters should be placed into the userboxes.  TNÉ  En avant Bravo ! 04:14, September 16, 2009 (UTC)


 * Hello there, mind if I barge in :P I happen to have a Quizilla account, and I'd love to try to make this WikiFauna test for you :D I think that we should set it up as 24 questions, with (at least) 10 answer possibilities, defining the answer. Each question would be about a single WikiThingy's specialty, like How do you treat newbies? (the best answer would be for WikiOtters, while the worst would probably be for the WikiVampires). Get it? could we do this? - Ice boy Svalur! 14:34, September 16, 2009 (UTC)

Sweet! But for 25 WikiFauna possibilities, what should we do?  TNÉ  En avant Bravo ! 14:36, September 16, 2009 (UTC)

This has been awhile but I agree. I don't think we should have a question like #10 up above. I always hate that when I take a quiz and I feel like I know what I'm going to get as a result because of questions like those. It should be about the person's personality and editing style. - 05:00, January 30, 2010 (UTC)

Possible Image Choices

 * WikiGryphon: Wyvern?
 * WikiFallen: Wight Knight
 * WikiMinnow: Flounder and make WikiTrout an Aquatank?
 * WikiVampire: Sora's Vampire form
 * WikiWizard: Yen Sid or Merlin
 * WikiElf: Santa Elves from Christmas Town
 * WikiFairy: Tinkerbell We already had it just wasn't on the Userbox page.

Another problem: categorisation. See Category talk:Users by WikiFauna.  TNÉ  En avant Bravo ! 04:26, September 16, 2009 (UTC)

Well, we'll have to wait for an admin to help because we can't move categories and it would take awhile to go through all of them and then have to delete them. - Heart  Of Oblivion  04:29, September 16, 2009 (UTC)

They have the Move button. We normal users used to have it but when Wikia changed its policies here and there, they decreed that we can't have the move button. See how much trouble it creates for us. I used to be able to move articles at my own will. Now I can't.  TNÉ  En avant Bravo ! 04:32, September 16, 2009 (UTC)

EDIT: We do have the Move button, but not for Categories. Damn.  TNÉ  En avant Bravo ! 04:34, September 16, 2009 (UTC)

Or files. I'd love to stay up and help but I have classes tomorrow. So night! - Heart  Of Oblivion  04:35, September 16, 2009 (UTC)

G'night then. See ya soon.  TNÉ  En avant <font color="#00bfff">Bravo ! 04:43, September 16, 2009 (UTC)

Once again, sorry this has been so long. Did we ever fix this problem? If not, I shall ping an admin. - 05:00, January 30, 2010 (UTC)

Organisation XIII, Series 2
Credit goes to ENX for the idea of adding quotes.  TNÉ  <font color="#00BFFF">Pour Noël je te donnerai <font color="#C0C0C0">le battement de mon cœur… ♥ 04:11, December 19, 2009 (UTC)

If there should be another round of mod/admin voting ? (2009.10.22)
Ideas for a new implementation system. There are quite a lot of users who think their Wikipeers should select them for modship/adminship, and I believe a lot of us are quite aware about this. However, this is my plan. It's foolproof, there's no need for fights, edit wars, or Wiki users crying over un-nominated people ! Here's the pitch :


 * First, we take a look at the users' edit count by hitting Special:Editcount/(the user's name).
 * The fields to be judged are
 * Mainspace. This should be the main concern.
 * Kingdom Hearts Wiki
 * Help (perhaps)
 * File
 * Category
 * MediaWiki (where applicable)
 * Templates - not a good category to pick, because many people make humongous edits to their talk templates. However, if a user's been known to make tables/tabs/userboxes/infoboxes/navigation templates or help out in coding, then we'd most certainly consider him/her.
 * From these fields, the Staff panel will discuss on nominations, and a list of names will be selected, along with their reasons.
 * From there, all users of the Wiki vote.
 * The final results of the users' poll determines who gets selected. In a way, the Wikipeers are voting, but for the right reasons.

Feedback s’il vous plaît !
 * It sounds great, and much better than the previous peer-nominating. Before, Users who mainly just roamed the talk pages and blogs got nominated by their social peers, whereas that will no longer be a case in point. Also, nice note on the template; for several users, this is why they have a surprisingly high edit count in template; however, there are Users like Xiggie and ILHI who work in that namespace regularly. Altogether, great system. However, the staff actually seems very solid right now; I wouldn't count on having another staff election anywhere in the near, or even somewhat far future. -- Door To  Nothing <font face=Trebuchet MS color=red>Kupo! 04:41, October 22, 2009 (UTC)

Remodelling of the Manual of Style
Our proposed remodelling of the MOS was supposed to take place last October, some time after the release of Days. Now Days, BBS and Coded are already out in full, and there are several issues that need to be addressed !

I call on all users to deliberate in this section, raise issues which you think need to be mentioned in the MOS, as well as put in new templates, or guidelines on using them, if needed.

I think there should be a guideline on Boss pages describing their layout, in the same manner as the layout of character pages already in the MoS.-- Lapis of the Night  04:29, January 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * Actually, strike that. I could have sworn there was not a section in the MoS about that before... Whatever, glad its there now. However, I would like to see an addition to it: our policy on battle quotes. I personally don't care about them, but I have no idea if we allow them, forbid them, or have some sort of limit for them like on character pages. Generally, there are much fewer battle quotes than normal ones, so is a limit warranted?-- Lapis of the Night  04:51, January 30, 2010 (UTC)

There should be mentioned not to put spoilers on the article's first paragraph and always use spoiler tags on the story section.Redeemer &amp; Destroyer 04:46, January 30, 2010 (UTC)

We will need to add all the new templates/infoboxes for Days, Final Mixes and BBS that Kryten has made especially under the Items and Equipments and also add the different templates for enemies and bosses under the obvious section. We should add under General something about the new Game template and the game navigation templates. I also wouldn't mind there being a category tree of some sort. Many images or pages are categorized improperly or they are not given an actual category but are categorized by ones like "Articles with unofficial translations", etc. from the maintenance templates at the top. - 04:51, January 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * Agreed, and once the Ultimania guide on BBS comes out (not sure when that'll be), we'll have to start infoboxes for the Unversed.


 * And on the subject of categorising images, maybe we should add this under the Media section ? <font color="#2A52BE">Agi Idup <font color="#1E90FF">Agi  <font color="#71A6D2">Ngelaban !  04:55, January 30, 2010 (UTC)


 * The Ultimania might come out this next month. It took them around a month to release the 358/2 Days Ultimania. And the thing about categorization, it's not just images. Some people make pages and categorize them wrong or simply do not add them. - 05:07, January 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * I know, I was part of the problem once :P So for the categorisation section, we'll put it this way : which images or pages should be categorised under which categories. It's an exhaustive list. Then we have categorisation of categories..... <font color="#2A52BE">Agi Idup <font color="#1E90FF">Agi  <font color="#71A6D2">Ngelaban !  05:11, January 30, 2010 (UTC)

Maybe we should add...

Information from interviews

Recent updates on unreleased games

Magazine scans

Japan-only publications, such as the Ultimania?

and Maybe add an Extra to Copyright FAQ's? Death never been this close to you... 07:41, January 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * Okay, which kind of copyright, first of all ? (Do tell !) And we don't usually add scans because by the time the full render is out, the scan will no longer serve its purpose. Do remember that whilst a lot of these are good suggestions, we don't bank on speculation, ya ? <font color="#2A52BE">Agi Idup <font color="#1E90FF">Agi  <font color="#71A6D2">Ngelaban !  09:21, January 30, 2010 (UTC)
