Colons
Why are you bolding the colons? 18:37, 23 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Well, at first, I was following the examples found on other articles with citations using the colons, but after seeing THS's edit on the Keyblade Armor page, I started to notice that there were very few pages that also had the colons bolded, too. There isn't a uniformed style to do on the KHWiki, so I just decided to go one or the other, and decided to bold the colons, because why not? It doesn't look bad or anything, so I don't see the problem with bolding it. Really, I just want everything to follow a precise format like other wikias do, because the way the KHWiki does things is a bit sloppy because our MoS needs a serious update. If it's bad, you can always revert it. Whether the colons are bolded or not isn't a big deal.-- 18:59, 23 February 2018 (UTC)
 * The preference has been to not bold the colons, as the bolding is used to illustrate the speaker, not the punctuation. 17:49, 6 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Is that so? Thanks for the info. I wasn't sure which one to use it. I've seen articles where it's either one or the other, so it was confusing, and I kinda just chose one since there already seemed to be a bunch of articles with the bolded colons.-- 20:46, 6 March 2018 (UTC)

Janitor rights
Hey, just to clarify, I wanted to give up bcrat rights and authority, not janitor rights. I was still hoping to be able to delete/move pages as necessary. 22:16, 27 February 2018 (UTC)

Porplemontage demoted you after you announced retirement, as it seems like you were leaving the KHWiki to focus more on RL. So, do you return to the staff as a mod, if you wish to delete/move pages? You never mentioned this when you announced retirement, hence the confusion.-- 19:53, 28 February 2018 (UTC)
 * I want to be able to do basic cleanup when I get the chance to visit. I don't want to be a mod, in charge of corralling editors, protecting pages, etc. 16:50, 1 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Ah, okay, thanks for the clarification.-- 22:01, 1 March 2018 (UTC)

Template talk
You are the one that should be informing the anon of our rules and policies, not me. 18:18, 6 March 2018 (UTC)
 * I'm not the only admin on the KHWiki, you know. ^_^; All of us explained the rules and policies to the anon user already. Everyone is just reiterating them at this point and dragging the conversation out.-- 20:50, 6 March 2018 (UTC)
 * The anon is still introducing edits that are not in line with policy, though. 13:04, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Aren't TSH and KSM monitoring the situation? They're admins, too, so I figured since they're actively participating in the conversation that if feel if the anon user is getting out of hand, they would have done something about it. I haven't been keeping a close on it since I knew two admins were already dealing with it.-- 18:05, 13 March 2018 (UTC)

Retirement
Hey Ninja! Just letting you know that I'm declaring retirement, so I'll need my rights removed. Thanks in advance, and take care! :D 05:41, 8 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Thank you for letting me know. :) I'm sad to hear you've retired, but I understand. I hope to see you from time to time once KHIII comes out. Thank you for all your contributions on the KHWiki! You were a very model user! Best wishes! :D-- 21:23, 8 March 2018 (UTC)

Impulse Flame
it's broken 20:36, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Don't worry, I fixed it. But I don't get why you're telling that to NinjaSheik and not putting it on the page's own talk page. 18:23, 14 March 2018 (UTC)
 * @THS: My thoughts exactly. I went back and looked at the anon user's contributions, and I did noticed that some of the boxes had an error, but I had no idea what was wrong with it since A.) I didn't do the coding for it, and it was never my forte. B.) All the parameters looked to be filled out correctly, and only a few had this issue. Anyway, thank you, THS! :D-- 19:11, 14 March 2018 (UTC)
 * NS was the last one to touch it, and I assumed that she'd be editing other pages as well. 13:37, 23 March 2018 (UTC)

facade
As far as I can find, "facade" is a perfectly acceptible English spelling. 13:35, 23 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I know, but considering they're both valid spellings, I prefer "façade" with the cedilla, considering it is a French word, and it helps with pronunciation by emphasizing the /s/. I use the spelling that's closest with the words' origins rather than the English variant of it since the English language doesn't really use diacritical marks like in other languages do. So, rather than "cafe", I prefer "café", and I prefer "naïve" than "naive". Both are acceptable, so I don't see why I shouldn't use it. I mean, it's the same word, same meaning, but using the diacritical marks keeps the word more authentic to its origins and helps with pronunciation.-- 19:55, 23 March 2018 (UTC)

Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday! And Happy Easter! 16:31, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Aww, thank you, TheSilentHero! :D A Happy Easter to you, as well!-- 22:02, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Happy birthday! 12:01, 2 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Happy Birthday, NinjaSheik! 14:05, 2 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Thank you, everyone! :)-- 21:32, 2 April 2018 (UTC)

Destiny Islands
How came you removed the fact tags? As far as I'm aware, the original video does not show these things at all, so they either need to be cited to an in-game/interview quote, or storylinked. 22:13, 23 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Oh, really? I thought they did. ^_^; I'll go back later and check to make sure.-- 20:54, 24 May 2018 (UTC)

Layout
This is what I see:

If the image is on the right:

If the image is on the left:

This is why I think it should be on the left. My monitor resolution is 1920x1080. What's yours? I imagine this is only a problem on higher resolutions. Soroxas (talk) 21:51, 21 June 2018 (UTC)
 * This is what I see. What browser are you using? I use Chrome. This could be because of an issue with your browser, as I had the problem previously before clearing my cache and speaking with our wiki's developer for assistance. You might need to do the same.-- 22:23, 22 June 2018 (UTC)


 * I use Firefox. As I suspected, it seems you're using a laptop or something. I'll ask again, what's your resolution? It should show you if you right click on your desktop wallpaper, go to Screen Resolution, and the two numbers are there. Mine is 1920x1080. Soroxas (talk) 11:21, 23 June 2018 (UTC)
 * 1366X768, its default setting. I don't mess around with the resolution of any computer or laptop, and I've accessed the KHWiki on school computers before, and the format comes out exactly the same as seen on my laptop. The only time it gets messed up is due to the coding on the wiki that makes the infoboxes show its other components from the drop-down, pushing the format out its regular position. I'm not sure this is a KHWiki problem or a user's problem, but if users are experiencing issues with how the KHWiki is displayed as a default, then it should be reported. Again, you might to talk to our resident developer and see how to fix this problem. Please see Porplemontage for assistance. As far as I know, no one has made complaints with how the format looks.-- 20:10, 23 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Most school computers aren't 1920x1080. I'll have to ask around a bit for others with 1080p and 4K monitors. I'll have to put this issue on hold. Soroxas (talk) 22:52, 23 June 2018 (UTC)

Discord discussion
Hey, Ninja, how's it going? Hope you're having a good day. I wanted to invite you to our Discord channel to discuss some things, because there are ears in the wikitext. I know you've said before you didn't want to make an account, but there's actually a way to join without one; I've got the instructions in my yet-to-be-completed Discord page. Anyways, hope you can join us! 19:11, 23 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks, KSM. :) I'm fine, though a bit busy with summer cleaning and other personal projects. How're you? I'm in there now as I'm writing this reply, but since I'm unfamiliar with Discord, I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing. ^_^; I'm gonna need some help with this. Good to know that I don't have to create an account. It's going to take me some time to get familiar with Discord's layout and the like. Always know I'm happy to chat. Just pop me a message on my talk page and when I reply, we can schedule a meeting time. I don't go to Chat unless someone requests it, and it's important to consider timezone differences, so...yeah. Thank you for telling me. :D-- 19:27, 23 July 2018 (UTC)

Disney
From what I understand, Disney actually owns the series, with SE as developer. 16:12, 26 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Wait, seriously? But isn't Kingdom Hearts is classified under SE as part of their property? That's been my understanding and knowledge of it, anyway. They're the ones actually writing and creating the series since it's a Japanese video game series with collaboration with Disney because the use of Disney characters and worlds. Well, whatever. Ugh, this is confusing.-- 21:27, 26 November 2018 (UTC)

friendly wave!
(As opposed to, like, an unfriendly wave I suppose.)

Just wanted to drop a line and say hi, and I hope you're doing so well, here and otherwise. Gonna try to poke my head around here a bit again - hope you love the game, when you get it. -- 20:16, 28 January 2019 (UTC)

DTN! Long time no speak! :D I hope you're doing well. I'm glad you're back on the KHWiki. We could certainly use the help with KHIII coming out worldwide tomorrow, and things are going to be pretty busy for the next month or so. I hope you have fun playing the game, too!-- 22:59, 28 January 2019 (UTC)

KHIII Cast
On the talk page for KHIII presently I have posted the links on Youtube I found days ago to help with confirming the cast for the game. Wanted to let you know if you wanted to help and it will also help confirm most of the characters that appear in the game. (excluding the ones that have no dialogue. -Adv193 (talk) 16:52, 29 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Got it. Thanks for telling me. I'm going to work my way through KHIII in the coming days. The KHWiki is going to be really busy for the next month or so, but I'll do what I can.-- 22:34, 29 January 2019 (UTC)

Trophy/Achievement
Do you have any ideas for namely the Achievement point area for the XBox Achievement points for KHIII on the talk page? If that and other template setting issues are dealt with I can deal with setting it up for KHIII. I also posted some links on the Talk: Trophies page. -Adv193 (talk) 19:15, 31 January 2019 (UTC)
 * I haven't barely began going through the game, but a question like this should be brought up on the Trophies's talk page and have the members, who are done with the game, discuss it over there. Also, if you're going to add content for the story sections of the characters' articles, please make sure you write in-universe.-- 20:38, 31 January 2019 (UTC)

Quick question about policy
As the title says, I'm wondering what the policy is for game titles as headers (or what's it called) in the story section for characters and worlds. Sometimes the headers will just be black letters and other times they'll be blue and linking to the actual game. Xion's page is an example of this. Coded and KH3D have their headers linking to their respective games while 358/2 Days and KH3 doesn't. Does it have something to do with how much a character appears in certain games? If so how is it useful that some of the headers link while others don't? I'm just curious. Also, is there a page on this wiki where stuff like this is explained? - 22:33, 20 March 2019 (UTC)
 * For the headers, I'm not sure about it myself. I do think should be linked, but I think most of the editors forgo it. You might wanna ask someone else. And yes, we do have a MoS, though it is a bit out of date and a new draft is currently in the works.-- 22:19, 21 March 2019 (UTC)
 * I'll hear with someone else. Thanks! - 22:39, 21 March 2019 (UTC)
 * I hope you don't mind if I butt in, but I think I know the reason behind it. Games in headers are only linked if they aren't linked before. For example, Xion links to Days in the lead, so the Days header doesn't need to be a link. But the lead doesn't mention coded and 3D, so they are linked. KH3 is the exception, but it's been recently added, so it's most likely forgotten. 22:54, 21 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Great! Thanks a lot! - 22:57, 21 March 2019 (UTC)

Happy birthday
Happy birthday, NinjaSheik! And happy anniversary of the wiki, too! 13:41, 1 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Also happy birthday 15:24, 1 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Thank you, Kryten and THS! :D And a happy birthday to the KHWiki, too!-- 19:07, 1 April 2019 (UTC)

Aw, sh*t, it was your birthday? Happy belated! -- 16:28, 4 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Aww, thank you very much, Neumz! :)-- 22:04, 4 April 2019 (UTC)

Captions
Sorry about the tense in the captions, I'm really forgetful sometimes. My brain is strange in that it can take a while for me to not only remember things, but also put them into action. I'm not trying to annoy you or anything. I'll try to remember. Soroxas (talk) 22:47, 4 April 2019 (UTC)

208.94.76.25
If you can, could you please block this guy? He's only causing trouble. If not, can you find someone who can? --Yellowlightning1996 (talk) 18:31, 2 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I've been trying to keep with the user's edits for last week or so, scrambling to do basic fixes on what they have, but they're editing too much and in bulk. I'll have a word with them and give them a warning to stop their behavior since it's violating our MoS.-- 22:37, 2 July 2019 (UTC)
 * I think you might mean "not listen". 13:40, 3 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Ah, typo! Thanks for pointing it out.-- 22:08, 3 July 2019 (UTC)
 * I could be wrong but I believe user 174.198.28.65 is the same person as 208. - JTD95 (talk) 20:53, 26 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Yeah, it's them. Not to mention a bunch of another anonymous accounts that's been appearing lately and editing on mobile. The user must be using some sort or proxy or whatever or moving from a different IP address every time. I've been busy with work, so I figured another staff member would have dealt with it, but the IP addresses have been changing and is radically different (sometimes), so it can be tough to keep track of it all.-- 22:25, 26 July 2019 (UTC)

He'll give up eventually. --Yellowlightning1996 (talk) 19:30, 28 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Perhaps. But they're a nuisance to the wiki and in violation of the rules. The staff will discuss on how to handle them.-- 20:07, 28 July 2019 (UTC)

When did Sora meet Zexion?
When Sora talked to Ienzo the first time, he said that they haven't spoken since Castle Oblivion, but although Zexion and Lexeaus know Sora, he never encountered them face to face and I don't think the Absent Silhouettes count. --Yellowlightning1996 (talk) 21:41, 6 July 2019 (UTC)
 * I discussed this with some of the other users just to make sure, but yes, you're right. Zexion never met Sora a C.O., so it's a plot hole. The writers made a mistake.-- 22:16, 7 July 2019 (UTC)

Does this wiki have like....a bad reputation in the community?
So it's like this. For a while now, I've been trying to to get a hold of some in-game assets from KH3. From icons to Formchange stuff, etc. Recently people have managed to crack KH3 fully open, extractinng and dumping models, textures, and all sorts of stuff so I went ahead and started asking out. At first, people are friendly and curious why I'm inquiring. But as soon as I say it's for this wiki, at best they totally ignore me from then on. At worst, they become rather unfriendly. It feels like if I want anything from now on, I'm gonna have to say it's for personal reasons rather than for this place... :X But alas, I've pretty much burned all of the bridges I know of, not to mention if I DO say the latter and end up posting stuff on here anyway it's gonna upset a lot of folks. So I really want/need to know, but is there like...issues between this wiki and pieces of the KH community on DeviantArt? --Samoa Joe (talk) 03:49, 4 October 2019 (UTC)
 * I'm not familiar with the KH community on DA, though I remember one user who is on there who was banned for aggressive and abusive behavior. That said, however, I can't really give my opinion on such matters if I'm unaware of the parties involved. I can say that when it comes to renders and images, the KHWiki had issues with people stealing renders and reuploading them elsewhere in the past and since that isn't allowed on the wiki, you can imagine that can be a source of bad blood between the users here and elsewhere. And I'm sure other reasons come into play.

I am sorry to hear the community over there has not be kind to you. :(-- 19:37, 5 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks. For the record, anything I've uploaded I always asked permission first from the original source. Which could explain why I don't upload much to begin with lol... Still, at least according to Shard, most of the stuff I asked for isn't providable at the moment anyway. Maybe that's another reason they don't like me lol. :X --Samoa Joe (talk) 22:07, 5 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Don't let what happened with those people get you down too much. If you help getting anything, there is other people out there who might be willing to help you. Editing is hard work, and no doubt getting renders and images is hard work, too, so we really appreciate your efforts for the KHWIKI. :)-- 04:07, 6 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks! :) I try when I can. --Samoa Joe (talk) 19:45, 6 October 2019 (UTC)

Site vandal
Anon user 47.153.55.76 has been going around editing in obscene shit in random pages. Just letting you know lol. --Samoa Joe (talk) 04:22, 1 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Done! Thank you for the heads-up, Samoa Joe.-- 04:35, 1 December 2019 (UTC)
 * I apologize for not reverting them though. X_X I'm actually working on something right now and it slipped me lol. Thanks though! --Samoa Joe (talk) 05:27, 1 December 2019 (UTC)
 * No need to apologize. :) Anyone can do a revert, and it was more important to quickly alert a staff member of the vandal before any more pages got vandalized.-- 01:54, 2 December 2019 (UTC)

Idea
Do you think we can add the Garden of Assemblance page that I recently did to help with the Re Mind coverage to the Radiant Garden suite as technically in both games it is involved with that place? Also if you want to look at that page and do some copy-editing I wouldn't mind as it would further help improve it. -Adv193 (talk) 04:38, 25 January 2020 (UTC)
 * I haven't had a chance to check out the DLC yet, so I can't make any comment on this idea. Moreover, for something like this, bring it properly on a talk page of the corresponding subject, not on a user's talk page, please.-- 02:23, 26 January 2020 (UTC)

EvanSW's Uploads
Hey there. I'm not one to complain about other users - unless they're blatant vandals lol - but, I'm noticing his uploads are....really, REALLY low quality. Like, youtube screencaps of the PS2 replays lol. How do we address that? --Samoa Joe (talk) 05:20, 10 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Sorry for the late reply. Real life circumstances prevents me from being on my laptop for too long. As for the user's uploads, it seems their edits have reverted. Has another user, an admin or one of our janitors, spoken to the user regarding the quality?-- 18:21, 11 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Not that I know of. I just noticed that they've been removed from the articles. --Samoa Joe (talk) 22:19, 11 February 2020 (UTC)
 * If this happens again, make sure to notify the user of he wiki's image policies or contact an admin or janitor that is available to speak with them.-- 02:51, 12 February 2020 (UTC)

Story expansion
I want to add more in the story sections of 358/2 days and Roxas, but I'm concerned about the current paragraphs in the sections and if it's ok to change them to make them bigger. --Yellowlightning1996 (talk) 21:51, 11 February 2020 (UTC)
 * You don't have to ask permission to revise story sections. Editing on the wiki is hard, and it is difficult to find a balance between being informative but not "fluffing" the paragraphs so much that's it's basically regurgitation. Story sections should cover all important plot points relevant to the subject at hand.-- 02:54, 12 February 2020 (UTC)
