Forum:Wiki Improvement

1. Side-Bar Discussion
I think we could add Kingdom Hearts Wiki:Roxas's Diary to the Community tab since it's about the wiki and other KH info. We should keep the featured articles somewhere like under "Fun" or "Media". Maybe we should just have a Characters category and add Worlds to gameplay. These are just some of my thoughts. - Heart Of Oblivion 03:47, October 6, 2009 (UTC)


 * For the side-bar I propose putting the Forums under Community, they are indeed for fun but most of the discussions are for the wiki's improvement, unlike other wikis where the forums are mainly used for fan and entertainment purposes. Unless there is a way to split "The World that Never Was" under community and "Twilight Town Library" under Fun. Also, for the "Users" part under community, I'm guessing that'll be the community list; some people have expressed their dislike for some people getting their place in the list just for edits in talk pages and blogs. Is there a way to filter the community list so it only takes in consideration main space/files/categories/other useful edits? -- 03:49, October 6, 2009 (UTC)
 * Our forums are already under the community section, if I'm not mistaken. Featured articles/media best go under like, say, Top Content, because it's the top for each month, isn't it ?

Lemme structure it first.


 * KHW
 * Top Content
 * Featured Articles
 * Featured Media
 * Most popular
 * Most visited
 * Highest ratings
 * Newly changed
 * Community
 * Featured Users
 * Community Portal
 * Forums (TWTNW)
 * Gameplay
 * Characters
 * Worlds (and then, try adding on to this list ?)

Now we need a section for the rest of the gameplay, the main categories, the Userpage stuff and the project pages (those with the KHW mainspace).  TNÉ  En avant Bravo ! 03:51, October 6, 2009 (UTC)

What i understood from GS was to actually revamp the side bar, which means taking away the "Top Content" thing and replace it for something like they have in Halopedia. I don't think we need Featured Articles and Featured Media in the side bar since they will be part of the main page as boxes and the Most popular and most visited parts... well I think no one looks at those really XD -- 03:57, October 6, 2009 (UTC)
 * Hm. Tricky one indeed. But one thing's for sure : we'll be putting Stubs/Wanted Articles in the sidebar, which means we'll finally be taking that notice off from the main page. Say, once we've come up with a unanimous decision for the main page, shall we structure it ?  TNÉ  En avant Bravo ! 04:00, October 6, 2009 (UTC)

2. Main Page Discussion
Okay, so any idea how we're gonna restructure the main page ?  TNÉ  En avant Bravo ! 03:34, October 6, 2009 (UTC)

3. Page Protection Discussion
Also, Xion's page might need protection as well. >.> -- 03:52, October 6, 2009 (UTC)


 * Definitely ! All OXIII pages, main character pages from the previous games as well as BBS need to be kept under lock and key.  TNÉ  En avant Bravo ! 03:55, October 6, 2009 (UTC)

I guess nobody is against this idea. Can't see why they would be anyhow. Guardian  Soul  06:31, October 6, 2009 (UTC)

4. Other Discussion
For this:
 * 1) I'm no good with coding so I can't really help with the infobox, but do you have an example of more or less what you'd like for the infobox that takes less space?
 * 2) The icons stopped looking ugly for me, what do you mean with the 'notice' you mean the site notices or something?
 * 3) We agreed references were good and necessary but I didn't quite get what needed references and what didn't.
 * 4) I think Kryten once tried to add a template for the journal entries which looked messed up in my fugly IE. We could try again and see if this time we get to a concensus.
 * 5) By rules you mean the wiki's rules? Because if it's that I think we need to expand the MoS a little and maybe add a Wikiconduct thing as we've had problems with this and the wiki will be growing with the release of Days and BBS.

Another thing that has to do with Days' weapons. I've seen the finished template and it looks quite good and all but honestly, i can't understand a thing. Maybe it's because i haven't played Days but I propose we add a tiny little link on the template (or the weapon's pages) that links to either a page that explains how the template works or the template itself. Here we could include what the numbers mean and all that; y'know like in the guide they have this general page where they put a random enemy and their stats and with nice easy-to-follow arrows they explain everything in the guide? But with the weapons. Just a suggestion since I've seen one or two people asking what all the numbers and / mean and Kryten having to explain. -- 04:21, October 6, 2009 (UTC)
 * It would be very easy to have the game name at the top of the weapon infobox to link back to the template page. Finished templates should also list explanations for the parameters. Glorious  CHAOS!  04:50, October 6, 2009 (UTC)
