KHWiki talk:Mirage Arena

Probably. We need something to look back on for the Joint Struggle. It'll probably be something like Kingdom Hearts Wiki:Mirage Arena/Previous Winners or something like that.

Since we have four-month rounds and then the Joint Struggle, we should do it by round. Cram all the winners, and the complete tourney bracket in, and then start a new section for the next round. sound good?

Edit Count
I thought you guys had agreed on 100? Glorious  CHAOS!  00:02, July 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * I have no idea what made them change to 75... 00:06, July 12, 2010 (UTC)

We agreed (Me and R&D) that it would be more appropriate due to the slower activity here.

I hadn't noticed the part that said "quality edits". How do we measure whether an edit is "quality" or not? Save for vandalism, and a vandal would be banned long before they hit 75 edits, what makes any mainspace edit better or worse than another one?04:06, July 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * We're the team, right ? We can always keep a tab on those who are voting through Contribs. If the user's bound to be a vandal, we confront him and if needed, we remove his vote. 04:15, July 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * "Slower activity"? Redeemer himself doesn't have 100 mainspace edits. It would be hypocritical to tell users they can't vote when the one who helped start the whole thing hasn't even achieved the required goal. And anyway, we don't want to be complete Nazis when it comes to this. 100 mainspace edits are a bit much, after all. I think we need a number that isn't too high, but not so low that we accept users who barely contribute. The idea is to have something fun for regulars, and we do not want people coming to the wiki just to participate. U suggest a number between 40 and 70. Also, I think Image contributions should count as well, as there are many users (such as myself) that participate in the wiki and have mass image-contributions. That's all I ever do around here anymore anyway. -- 04:20, July 12, 2010 (UTC)

Now that I think about it, we need to re-consider the edit thing a lot.


 * Lego is right... I belive Images contibution must be counted too... I think I'll add it to the rules. But I must discuss with KKD first.04:24, July 12, 2010 (UTC)

Okay, spaces to be accepted : Mainspace, Image, Template (if we know the person has been contributing to templates on the Main Pages), Card, Walkthrough (in future), Kingdom Hearts Wiki, MediaWiki. This is just like mod elections. Other spaces will be taken into account only if we have a clear background of what the user has done in general. 04:26, July 12, 2010 (UTC)


 * This changes everything. Altought, keeping track of all this will be hard. Thank God we have the Contrib pages. So I'm changain quality mainspace edits to quality edits.04:31, July 12, 2010 (UTC)

Good thought. It's never too late to mend ! ^_^ 04:32, July 12, 2010 (UTC)

So far I have 67 Mainspace edits, and 1 Kingdom Hearts Wiki edit. That's 68 quality edits(Right?). But I'm making maps for TNE's walkthrough. Does that count?--Keyblade0 03:05, July 14, 2010 (UTC)Keyblade0
 * I'm not sure... That would easily make 26 edits from there. I think I'll let the rest decide. 03:07, July 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yep, it counts. In a way, it's a quality edit. Fine by me.03:12, July 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * So we're going with 75 edits? Man, I won't get on here in a while (not much to do, don't own a KH game...) -- シルバ  クロノ  03:13, July 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Just a thought... what about Talk pages? Not usertalk, but the ones linked to articles... usually those are productive edits, and go toward bettering the article. Lego thought of this first, but he's not here to ask right now.
 * Truth be told, 75% of Talk Page edits are useless stuff. The users Hotdragon 295‎ and Oh,how the sea calls‎ are exemple of this. They revive old topics just for the heck of doing it, using information that is known to almost everyone and sometimes Oh,how the sea calls‎ they are bashful on their messages.03:24, July 14, 2010 (UTC)

Speaking of whom... he's rather frustrated right now because no one actually gave him a lowdown of the rules. Had anyone even thought of showing him the MOS in my absence ?! No ! 03:37, July 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * not even crossed my mind, sorry.03:40, July 14, 2010 (UTC)

/me sighs. This is PATHETIC ! But I forgive you. The next time, if someone asks for how the rules and spoilers are dealt with over here, show the MOS and the Spoiler Policy. Those are two core documents which we can't afford to even forget. KHFR sums it up into one - the MOS - so it's easier for the side of Darkness ; yet, it's still not an excuse for driving a new user to resentment. For all you know he'd have been a great contributor had he truly understood everything. 03:46, July 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Wait! For what I "talked" to him, He didn't ask for the rules... now I see he asked to Lapis. So it isn't technically my fault. Only if I fault on not stalking him enough.03:52, July 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * No one showed me the MoS or spoiler policy when I got here, and look how i turned out! No joke.
 * This is nonsense. We have the Card:Main Page which is begging for edits, is not gnome work, and requires NO PHYSICAL RESOURCES. We also have the Gallery: space, where all you have to do is go to Special:UnusedFiles and post the images in whichever galleries they apply to. There's no reason to be lowering the bar here - you should have at least 100 edits in mainspace articles ([main], Card:, and Gallery:). Talk pages should absolutely not count, as well as Templates (since that is mostly fiddling with talkboxes). Images and Kingdom Hearts Wiki maybe. Glorious  CHAOS!  05:33, July 14, 2010 (UTC)

@TNE: He just asked about (really just passively mentioned) the rules today, and never asked about the spoiler policy.05:38, July 14, 2010 (UTC)
