FileTalk: Continued
Thought I should finish my thought, but the page was removed just as I was going to publish it. So, I understand, though from where I stand, he has every reason to be mad. Anyways, if you want to help, check the "Welcome" banner on your talk page. It has many wonderful links that can help prevent this kind of thing. 06:56, 30 November 2013 (UTC)

Re:Mediawiki Pages
I'm not sure what you mean by MediaWiki Pages. Could you please explain? -KeybladeSpyMaster (talk) 18:16, 30 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Well like the cursor on Disney Wiki is Mickey Mouse's glove i was thinking the cursor here should be a keyblade. Byzantinefire (talk) 18:45, 30 November 2013 (UTC)


 * I know but its quite a long shot and i can't really do it by myself and i would prefer it if users from KHWiki would come and help edit it to make it less like the originals. Byzantinefire (talk) 22:09, 30 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Huh? What are the editors on the Disney Wiki doing? I hate to use a hostile tone but seriously, that's not fair. You can't expect us to write an article for this wiki...and then rewrite it for the Disney Wiki. Saying that, if some people do want to help the Disney Wiki, they're welcome to, I'm just speaking for myself here. 23:04, 30 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Sorry i asked. Byzantinefire (talk) 23:39, 30 November 2013 (UTC)
 * No, you can ask for help. I'm just saying that the Disney Wiki (including OTHER editors, not just you) need to pull their weight too. 23:45, 30 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Yeah but many of them might be too busy editing Frozen related articles. Byzantinefire (talk) 23:50, 30 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Then the least you can do is license your .gifs, which members of our wiki made, like this and many more (although why a Disney Wiki would need an article on Thunder Surge, I'll never understand). Also, you shouldn't attribute our articles to your wiki (so no having our articles as Featured Articles for your wiki) and it would be nice if the template attributing us was at the top of pages, instead of the bottom where no one can see it. EDIT: This has come to my attention. 17:11, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

Thanks!

Re:Keyblade
But I suggest you mention KH on your hidden mickey article. 22:23, 9 April 2014 (UTC)


 * This is none of your busyness 15 there are plenty of Disney themed symbols and never tell which belongs on which wiki never say DisneyWiki its Disney Wiki. Byzantinefire (talk) 22:27, 9 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Sorry for butting into the conversation. Not sorry for sharing my opinion, which I still stand by. Character and world symbols take up 0.2% of the game. It's only the Mickey head that's significant.


 * P.S: Inventive sarky-ness with the nowiki tags right there. 22:38, 9 April 2014 (UTC)


 * I don't need you giving me more stress.Byzantinefire (talk) 22:40, 9 April 2014 (UTC)

Affiliation
That's right, you weren't there to discuss the issue. It was concluded at the Roundtable that Erry would discuss with the other staff/admin members about affiliation with the Disney Wiki. I think the purpose/objective was to have an answer by the next Roundtable. 20:25, 19 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Oh right well i almost forgot about that but it was not mentioned on the previous aftermath Roundtable section so i just wanted to be sure.. Byzantinefire (talk)


 * Yeah, it wasn't, but it was in the transcripts/log 00:06, 20 April 2014 (UTC)

Logo Images

 * I got them from KHInsider. Byzantinefire (talk) 04:48, 8 June 2014 (UTC)

Images
Hey there. If you really want to help out on the images, we could really use someone to make images transparent. A list of such images can be found over here. The images don't need to be resized-made larger- they need to be transparent. If you can help on that, that would be appreciated. Thanks. 03:41, 11 June 2014 (UTC)

Dude, actually check what you're transparenting. Don't just Fuzzy Select + Save. Check the image. 04:50, 11 June 2014 (UTC)
 * I am just checking over what is on the list. Byzantinefire (talk) 04:51, 11 June 2014 (UTC)


 * He's right, though. Don't just make everything big and transparent. Quality over quantity. As a general rule, I think it should be just in-game elements that should be transparent. But other things, like this, don't need to be. Also, quality trumps size. Three images were reverted yesterday because they were of poorer quality, even if they were bigger. Just be careful. 05:40, 11 June 2014 (UTC)


 * But those images were on the list and many of the images i uploaded are higher quality than the original. Byzantinefire (talk) 16:24, 11 June 2014 (UTC)


 * Huh, well, the Smile (Art) image isn't on that list, so I'm not on that. However, UnknownChaser was wrong with the other images he reverted. I don't know, I guess those images should be reverted to your uploads. I'll do that myself. 18:40, 11 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Well i made a Transparent image of that Smile image but with the Yellow number code and i will be uploading it now. Byzantinefire (talk) 18:47, 11 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Hold off on images for the time being. Once Chaser goes through the transparency list on the renovation forum we'll go from there. So, until then, just hold off so we can get this straight. Thanks again for your help. 18:57, 11 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Your Welcome. Byzantinefire (talk) 18:59, 11 June 2014 (UTC)

Three things:
 * 1. I think we all appreciate your effort here but uploading these images from KHInsider without giving a source is just rude. Sign spent countless hours rendering all these images and this could easily strain our relationship with this site.
 * 2. As pointed out above some images are intended with a white background, mostly artworks, sketches and images ripe with effects. Pulling off a transparent alternative takes a whole lot of skill, something that you, I and even Sign are not capable of. This requieres a whole new level of wizardry (just check this out).
 * 3. Bigger is not always better, the quality of an image can greatly improve if it's not compressed until there is no tomorrow. The order is mostly like this this: scans < press materials < website materials/rips. Even if the press materials are always around 3000x3000px or even bigger they are in most cases heavily compressed jpgs, meaning a loss of color fidelity and an somewhat blurred image. So even if it that's big it always looks hideous when displayed at 100%. That's not true for all circumstances though, so it has to be decided from a case to case basis if an image should be replaced or not.
 * The other problem with the bigger images you uploaded is that most of the pictures here are displayed at 350x850px max., so when you uploaded the new images with the vast white space around them they look actually smaller now than before. 10:18, 15 June 2014 (UTC)
