I'm continuing the university/adult life. That said, my activity will be defined by what real life things I have to do.

Disney Wiki
So can you please edit the KH pages on the Disney Wiki to make them different than ones here but still help retains a very high quality of content, if you are not too busy. Byzantinefire (talk) 04:10, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Wait a minute. You guys copied our articles? That's talking plagiarism.-- Xion 4  ever  04:46, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
 * But i did cite where it came from and that is one of the reasons i am asking. Byzantinefire (talk) 19:16, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Okay...We need to talk about this. Are you available for the IRC channel?-- Xion 4  ever  19:20, 8 January 2014 (UTC)

EDIT CONFLICT: Why exactly are you asking us to edit your articles for you? Shouldn't that be the role of your editors? -- 19:29, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Let me try something, first. If that is alright.-- Xion 4  ever  19:46, 8 January 2014 (UTC)

Regarding the Manga Chapters
I'm ready to start creating the manga pages for KHII, but there's a problem. Three fan-translated volumes exist for KHII, but I want to create articles for them. Should we use placeholder names similar to Bulbapedia, use the fan-translated names, or just leave them until Yen Press releases Volume 3 (and it's not been announced yet)? 14:23, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Before we even start the KHII articles we need to finish up COM. This means adding the synopsis for each episode ["card"]. Once COM articles are done, then we'll worry about KHII. Having a bunch of blank articles or adding more stubs isn't cool.-- Xion 4  ever  18:55, 8 January 2014 (UTC)

in regards to your question
I'm starting to think they're not quite fanart, i.e., I think I might agree with Shard on this. It's not an easy call, and if we do accept them then we'd have to have limits on what kind of minor edits we can accept. But after all, they are just a portion of the whole sprite, and we crop stuff like HUD gauges for the wiki. -- 04:47, 9 January 2014 (UTC)
 * That's what I'm thinking. I'm good with leaving them on the Wiki if you are. Shard's obviously okay with it.-- Xion 4  ever  04:50, 9 January 2014 (UTC)

Manga/novel images
For the manga, I can upload stuff from the Yen Press translations (as they become available), if you want. I can also upload clean pictures from the KH3D novels at the least (still thinking whether or not I should get the other novels...if they're even available now). Again, if you want it.

Calling
Hey, I was wondering if per chance you could upload an image of the front cover to Calling from the Kingdom Hearts Manga. It's no rush, it's just for the Featured Article section next month. If you can't, that's okay. Thanks! 02:44, 12 April 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm at university right now, meaning I don't have my manga books with me. However, you could ask Ultima Spark and see what they say. The images of the front cover you can find online are either: edited/altered/different from what is physically published, or have a watermark. I'd ask Ultima Spark or Shard and see what they can do. I'm sorry.-- Xion 4  ever  02:46, 12 April 2014 (UTC)


 * No, that's fine! Don't worry about it. Thanks anyways! 03:05, 12 April 2014 (UTC)

Manga
Hey, sorry I'm bothering you about the Manga again. I started working on the chapter list, and I asked at the Roundtable if there were any other elements I should include into the Chapter List Template. Right now, I've got Chapter No., Volume No., Chapter Title (TP, YP), and Release Date (TP, YP). They said at the time that they couldn't come up with any more, but told me to ask you because you have the Manga. So, do you have any others you'd like to see? 17:56, 24 April 2014 (UTC) EDIT: Upon further evaluation, I determined that the parts we needed were Volume No. (TP, YP), Chapter No., English Title (YP), Japanese Title (YP), Japanese Release Date (TP, YP), and English Release Date (TP, YP), and the Summary. Still, I wonder if there is anything else you'd like to see on the table. Thanks! 21:13, 24 April 2014 (UTC)
 * There's no need to apologize- it's no bother at all. A full list is: No. in series (There are 42 chapters total, between the four volumes. This section would be: 1, 2, 3, ...., 16, 17...etc.); No. in volume (TP, YP); English title (YP), Japanese title; [original] Japanese publication date, English publication date. That would be the information needed for the hub page (which I have a rough draft started over on the chapter hub. Remember, from the Roundtable, we've decided to have two different templates. One template for the hub page, consisting of everything in the list I just posted, and a second template, consisting of everything in the previous list plus a summary section. The second template will be used on the volume pages.-- Xion 4  ever  21:53, 24 April 2014 (UTC)


 * I remember the first template. The way they do it on Wikipedia is that they made another template, but that template goes to the first page and takes the data input there, without the summary. For example, on this wiki, the template would go to the page Kingdom Hearts Manga Volume 1, take the data put in there, and then repost it on the Chapter List page, without the summary. I'm still trying to figure out how it works and how to tweak it to work here.


 * I'm wondering, should we not post the two release dates, like the Tokyopop and YenPress dates? Or just the original publication dates? 22:17, 24 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Original publication date would be Tokyopop. I don't see a problem with adding the YenPress dates.-- Xion 4  ever  22:19, 24 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Ok, I'll try and get the template to work with that then. Thanks! 22:20, 24 April 2014 (UTC)
 * UPDATE: The template seems to work now (it's implemented here), but I'd like your approval/check before I proceed to...do whatever comes next. 23:24, 24 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Looks good to me, overall. However, "No. in series" is kind of vague. Number in what? Chapters? Volumes? We are meaning volumes in this case. I think we should say Volume # instead of just the #. Other than that, I think it looks fine. Check with Neumannz if you want another opinion.

As for what happens next: See the chapter hub. This is what we do next. For the chapter hub, as in List of NCIS episodes (click), we do not need the images or summary sections. The template you currently have would be good for what will replace the Overview/Summary section on the individual volume pages. (Wikipedia example: click. Nice work, though. This is really coming along. Thank you for the help! ^_^-- Xion 4  ever  02:29, 25 April 2014 (UTC)


 * Ok, we'll use the volume number instead of the number in series. That makes more sense anyways.
 * Do you understand what I'm trying to do for that second template? I'm asking because everytime I explain it, I reread it and it sounds confusing. And I'm the one typing it! Basically, Wikipedia uses a template that, by simply typing in something like in the section, the template goes to the page AND section, takes the info from the episode list, and displays it again, this time, without the summary. That way, we would only put the data once (on the Volume pages), and it with that one line of code, it would show up on the Chapter Hub, too, without summary or image, and without needing to type in the data again. I'm trying to figure out how to tweak it to work, and I think I'm really close., but it's still really confusing. Maybe by this weekend or next week, it will be done (if not tonight, though I hope I can). Or do you think we should just recreate the template without the summary and image code, and just input the data again?  03:11, 25 April 2014 (UTC)
 * I understand what you're saying about the Wikipedia template. I don't know how to make it work though. My coding skills on that have become rusty. I'd ask Neumannz or Erry for help on that. If you'd rather spare the time/hassel, we can just make two different templates: one with the summary/image and one without the summary/image. It's totally up to you.-- Xion 4  ever  19:21, 25 April 2014 (UTC)

Ok, for my own sanity, I've discarded the template. So, I've recreated the first template, and adjusted it to work without the summary (took forever) and then struggled to get the alternating row colors (took even longer). Regardless, it works now!!!!! :) (Sorry, really excited, it's taken all day). Anyways, tell me if it's good, or if there's something wrong. 23:14, 26 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Excellent job, SpyMaster! ^_^ So, just so I have this straight in my head, we have two different template for this? One with images/summary sections, and one without images/summary sections?-- Xion 4  ever  22:11, 27 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Yep, they are two different templates, and the data is input twice. A wise idea is to make it so we can simply copy/paste the data (parameters and all) onto the two pages and simply alter the Template name slightly (add a "2", or an "S" for summary, or something). I'll see if I can get it done. Neumannz has approved it, too, as far as I can tell. I might finish it off this week (got AP Exams to get ready for now). 04:30, 28 April 2014 (UTC)

UPDATE: Sorry it's been a while since I last worked on this, kind of wrapped up with the Magazine and MegaProject: Arise. Anyways, I finally updated/created the templates, they're here and here. I also added as a comment a recommended list of colors for each game, which I extracted from the game logos. Not sure if that will help. Unfortunately, when I updated the old template, it screwed up the Chapter List here. I tried to fix it, but since I only know chapter one is "Calling", I can't help much there. So, what do you think? Is it okay? 20:00, 10 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Don't worry about the delay, I just finished another year at university. I haven't been on due to finals. All is well! ^_^ As for the templates...: I can't judge the template on the coding from where my coding skills are rusty due to my inactivity. I'm not the best to ask for template help, at least not at the moment. So long as we can get the templates working, it's all good to me. If you're looking for a chapter list, feel free to check out the volume pages. As for colors, taking from the other game templates is fine with me.-- Xion  4  ever  02:29, 11 May 2014 (UTC)

Featured User Image
Since you seem somewhat interested in this, tell me how this looks. 04:12, 19 May 2014 (UTC)
 * They all look pretty cool. If you're asking for my personal preference, I would rank them (from my top favorite to least favorite): A, E, C, B, D.-- Xion 4  ever  04:16, 19 May 2014 (UTC)

A more interesting title.
RC will be fine. Thanks for your help! 19:47, 19 May 2014 (UTC)
 * I replaced all of the replaced images, Special:WhatLinksHere/File:REPLACED.png There's only one page left, but there's no original image, it's supposed to link to the replaced image. Also, do you have a userbox by chance? I'd like to exchange them. ^.^ 06:30, 21 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Deleted! Thank you! I'm sorry, but I do not have a userbox...Just never got around to it. :/ Until I do, feel free to write my name down or just wait until I create one whenever that is . Thank you, though. I am honored. ^_^ 03:49, 22 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Well you can feel free to have mine anyways: Lemme know if you need anymore help with a big project, I'd be happy to help! ^.^  04:30, 22 May 2014 (UTC)

Form: Deletion
Ages ago, we held a roundtable that concluded that all Form:World articles must be deleted as they make the Form:Character and "Character Design" sections redundant. Could you delete the following articles?: It'd be great if you can. Thanks! 11:47, 26 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Form:Atlantica
 * Form:Christmas Town
 * Form:Halloween Town
 * Form:Pride Lands
 * Form:Space Paranoids
 * Form:The Grid
 * Form:Timeless River

If you needed the pages to be deleted, please post them in the proper page! :) I already deleted them for you, Xion-chan!-- 18:50, 26 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Sorry my response is late. Thank you, 15 for the heads up. I had seen them in the deletion category but never did anything about them. My apologies. Thank you, Ninja for settling this.-- Xion 4  ever  02:24, 27 May 2014 (UTC)

Re:COM Props

 * The list is complete for Reverse/Rebirth, right? Cool. Thanks, I'll definitely check it out when I get around to COM. Thanks again! ^^ 20:22, 1 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Yeah, the list should be complete for R/R. 20:38, 1 June 2014 (UTC)

Big long list o' images
That should cover all of them. Lemme know if you have any comments, questions, or concerns.
 * File:Dual Link Gauge KH3D.png Not really needed anywhere. We already have another image of just the bottom part of the gauge on the Gauges page.
 * File:Scan LV3 KHREC.png Already being used in Re:coded's gallery.
 * File:Sleight Screen KHRECOM.png Probably would be best if we used this on the Sleight page instead of the Sonic Blade gif.
 * File:Struggle Hammer KHII.png, File:Struggle Hammer KHII.png, and File:Struggle Hammer KHII.png. Delete, they've been replaced with bigger versions.
 * File:Rumble Racing Gameplay (Aqua) 01 KHBBSFM.png There's no room for this image on the Rumble Racing page, so unless we want to put it in the gallery, I'd say delete it.
 * File:Data World (Gameplay) 01 KHREC.png No real use.
 * File:Central Corruption KHRCO.png If we could get a picture/render of all five doors, that'd be nice. But this image has no real use.
 * File:Trinity Limit KH3D.png A gif may be nice, but a still screenshot seems pointless.
 * File:Save Point KHII.gif no real point.
 * File:Command Ball Drop Thing (Removed) KHBBS.png Should go on the "Removed Content" page.
 * File:The Empty Realm KHII.png Also should go on the "Removed Content" page.
 * File:Windmill KH3D.png This was not used in any version of KH3D outside of the JAP version, maybe it could go under the removed content?
 * File:Quota Icon 3 KH3D.png, File:Ability Link (Up+Right+Down).svg, and File:Secret Icon 2 KH3D.png Needed for This page.
 * File:Link Mode 01 KHCOM.png and File:Link Mode 03 KHCOM.png No use, there's already an image on the KHCoM page, where Link Mode redirects to. The image that IS currently being used should be renamed accordingly.
 * File:Stage Gadget KH3D.png Needed for List of Key Items

Hello!
Hi! Hopefully I am doing this right as I am still learning the ways of wiki editing. Basically I had applied to be an affiliate with KH Wiki and you responded saying that you would be in touch once a decision would be made. I was just curious how you would go about talking to me, if it would be through email, some sort of private messaging or leaving something on my talk page. Just curious as I continue to learn how all this works :) Thanks!

Hardyt3kyoyo (talk) 08:34, 2 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Hello! You're doing just fine! ^_^ We normally respond on the Wiki- be it the affiliates page, your talk page- something on here that we can use as a reference. However, if you prefer email, I'm sure we can work something out. 18:25, 2 June 2014 (UTC)


 * Ok Thank you! I'll make sure to keep checking my talk page and the affiliate page daily! Also just wanted to personally thank you for helping me through all of this, means alot for someone still learning the wiki ways! :) Hardyt3kyoyo (talk) 00:41, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
 * You're welcome! ^_^ Although I can't set an approximate time that you'll hear from us, I think a safe estimate would be within a week. I'll do my best to hold us to that. Keep up the good work! 02:48, 3 June 2014 (UTC)

Sorry this is so late! >_< I'm usually on the IRC during the night...9/10pm to midnight or 1am (EST). Sometime then, perhaps? I'm on right now. 03:53, 15 June 2014 (UTC)

Ah, my mistake then. Thanks for catching that! ^_^ 01:56, 18 June 2014 (UTC)

Double linked pages
Auto Wiki Browser can detect double links, if you feel like using that. -- 20:57, 15 July 2014 (UTC)


 * When you're editing any page—for ANY reason—with AWB, and that page has multiple links, a box labeled "Multiple wiki-links" appears under the "Start" tab, beneath the "Alerts" box. When you click on one of the entries in the box (which includes the number of links that appear), the editing window moves to the next instance of the link, highlighting it. If you want to delink it, click the "Delink selection" button underneath the window. -- 03:11, 16 July 2014 (UTC)

thanks for the greeting, and sorry for the posting error of my discussion...
--MatermindSypher08 (talk) 01:57, 17 July 2014 (UTC)Mastermindsypher08 thanks you Xion4ever for the greeting, and I apologize for posting in the wrong section about my discussion. I didn't know and will be mindful in the future. thanks for steering me to the forums, and hope that I didn't offend anyone by posting in the wrong section.....Newbie error I suppose. and if I'm posting this message for you in the wrong place as well, sorry again.
 * There is no need to apologize for anything. It's no biggie. In the beginning we all struggle with Wiki how-to's and such. ^_^ You haven't offended us in any fashion. I just wanted to clarify why the edit was reverted rather than to leave no explanation. You've already received one comment on the forum, I think...Anyway, if you have any questions feel free to ask me. And again, welcome to the Wiki! 02:03, 17 July 2014 (UTC)

2.5 Cover Artwork Revealed

 * This. There are no words to describe. 17:01, 17 July 2014 (UTC)

Chain of memories sprites.
Asking out of curiosity. Who duplicated the chain of memories sprites? Riku the Bloody 13:38, 20 July 2014 (UTC)


 * @ Riku the Bloody:Pretty much what ANX said. The COM talk sprites have been needing to be reviewed/checked for quite some time. As for your signature, just type ~ . That will link to your userpage and talk page. Or, you could create a custom signature and like back to it like we do.

@ANX: AWESOME!!!! Thank you so much for your help! As for formatting the live ones...Either "Aerith Live (Talk sprite) # KHCOM.gif" or "Aerith (Live talk sprite) # KHCOM.gif." I'm thinking maybe the latter... 02:22, 21 July 2014 (UTC)


 * No need to apologize. It was no biggie. 02:56, 23 July 2014 (UTC)

Around September? I'm sorry, but I'll be starting university again here soon. Once that happens, my activity is going to drop, big time. Maybe you'll catch me before I go back. 23:12, 28 July 2014 (UTC)

If not, I'll catch you when you return. Riku the Bloody 23:30, 28 July 2014 (UTC)
