Dawn Warriors
Out of curiosity, how many players are in your party? If it's not many, would y'all be open to merging with the wiki's party, KHWV in Vulpes? 13:24, 5 July 2016 (UTC)

Blanked out
Everything that's on the page for an unreleased game has to be cited or blanked out, due to their high profile. I understand that it's easy to cite most of those things, as they have been mentioned, but until cites are added they have to be hidden. 20:56, 6 July 2016 (UTC)
 * No, it doesn't at all.


 * 1) It does far more damage for us to have potentially false information than it does for us to not be up-to-the-minute on hot scoops. This is a wiki, not a news site.
 * 2) Not all editors have the time or ability to look up whichever cite the person who added the claim was operating on. It takes much more time for them to try and backtrack that person's work than for that person to simply follow the clearly stated policy and cite their sources in the first place.
 * 3) There is absolutely nothing preventing someone who has a cite from un-blanking the info and appending that cite.
 * 4) The "point of this being a wiki" is to be an encyclopedia. Most high-quality encyclopedias take years to produce, and carefully vet every piece of information. The wiki is already playing fast and loose by not completely locking the article from editing.
 * In short, while we don't play hardball about claims that are, anything that is in any sense reported like news needs to be cited, end of. If it is not cited, it will be blanked or removed, and doing so is not only allowed by the wiki's policies, but is what the ethos of the wiki strives for. 03:31, 7 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Again, refer to point number 2. I have enough time per day to keep a lid on the wiki, but very little time to do infodives unless it's literally "google the gamefaqs script, search and paste". 12:15, 7 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Fixed. 13:24, 7 July 2016 (UTC)

HD images
Nice work with the HD images! I just wanted to let you know you forgot to upload the HD version of Goofy's D-Link. 10:17, 10 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Is it possible to get the volcano effect on Rockbreaker, or the lit up bolt on Thunderbolt? 00:33, 11 July 2016 (UTC)

Command Menu image names
Could you please name the future command menus you upload like this:

File:Command Menu ()  KHII.png

where location is the part of the world, and the world prefix is one of these. 17:41, 25 July 2016 (UTC)

I'm amazed by your work, both the Command Style and the Dimension Link images turned out great and this command menu looks crazy good too. -- 21:20, 25 July 2016 (UTC)

Image request
Would you be able to arrange maps for the Unchained worlds, with some pathing like on a subway map connecting the doorways on each image? 04:18, 23 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Well, for starters lol, the Unchained worlds don't have minimaps so that's out. Secondly, I could do the second thing you're asking - layer them all together with arrows directed to the next area, just like in the game.  I more or less could, but there's two hurdles to that:  1-The end results would be huge.  Like...Billy Fucillo huge.  2-The layouts change from mission to mission!  For example, Daybreak Town - the sewer entrance to the tower/castle is filled with water in earlier missions.  Soo...how would you want that done?  The latest iterations?  --Ignis (talk) 04:44, 23 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Yeah, not minimaps. I mean simply arranging the ripped map tiles and using subway-style vectors to connect them in the appropriate locations.
 * I would say latest iteration, as with Chi. If it's a location that had multiple versions (like Curious Room), maybe put that to the side like Alaska? And downsize the images as necessary so that they're still identifiable, but that the map image could be viewed in a human way (like, small enough the brain can retain the positioning, but scrolling is fine if needed). I think the images we have on khunchainedx.com are proper scale, but they may not be. I've tried to play around with this in MSPaint, but we both know that's a laughable way to do a proper job of it. 12:38, 23 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Alright, I think I can conduct a little experiment to see how it'll work. Now, can you upload a file with ALL the Daybreak Town areas?  I've noticed we're actually missing a good number of them here, and I can't find all of them on the Unchained wiki.  :(  --Ignis (talk) 15:24, 23 September 2016 (UTC)
 * I don't think I can, no, I don't know what's missing. Can you start with Wonderland or Olympus, which have both been completed? 18:55, 23 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Rofl, Olympus has two areas! But sure, I can roll with those.  --Ignis (talk) 19:10, 23 September 2016 (UTC)
 * The complete Olympus, with Underworld, I meant. 21:27, 23 September 2016 (UTC)
 * You got it. I'll commence the experiment now!  --Ignis (talk) 23:11, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

WSJ wiki
Are you free to do some editing on the Weekly Shonen Jump Wiki? http://weekly-shonen-jump.wikia.com/wiki/Weekly_Shonen_Jump_Wiki 22:23, 23 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Sorry lol, but after the Bleach and FF wikis, I avoid wikias like the plague. I don't even visit them.  Them crashing my browsers is the least annoying part of them.  --Ignis (talk) 22:25, 23 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Really that badly? 22:27, 23 September 2016 (UTC)
 * It's horrible lol. It'd be one thing if it's just the one browser, or my PC is slow for some reason, but at times it gets just as bad on my work macbook.  I mean...I'm PRETTY sure wikia's crappiness is one major reason this wiki has since gone independent.  --Ignis (talk) 23:11, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

http://www.bandaigames.channel.or.jp/list/jump45/pc/images/top/main.jpg Look there are plenty of Jump crossovers as well as jump theme parks. 00:20, 25 September 2016 (UTC)

KHII and BBS minimaps
Hey there. May I help with the minimap project? I downloaded those files that ShardofTruth ripped. Rebellious Treecko (talk) 06:33, 2 October 2016 (UTC)

Here are some: http://imgur.com/FRDXiDi http://imgur.com/Gdc5Gez http://imgur.com/q9s9wMJ http://imgur.com/rpR287S

Would these be allowed on the wiki? They could arguably count as "fan-created/edited". Rebellious Treecko (talk) 06:33, 2 October 2016 (UTC)

Why?
Please bring problems with other users to a staff member so we can have peaceful mediation, rather than one-on-one confrontation. 18:50, 3 October 2016 (UTC)
 * I don't believe it's evolved into a problem just yet - just a small clash of personalities. When/if it starts to negatively affect the wiki, it'll be the first thing I'll do.  --Ignis (talk) 14:51, 4 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Then it shouldn't be brought up on-wiki. The project is not helped by mudslinging. 14:56, 4 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Not mudslinging either. And I brought it up so it doesn't turn into a problem.  :/  --Ignis (talk) 22:46, 4 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Which is exactly the thing that I have repeatedly clarified shouldn't be done.
 * Again -- if you have an issue with another editor, contact a staff member about it (preferably after bringing them to the IRC or another private channel). The method you are defending is not condoned by this community. 23:41, 4 October 2016 (UTC)

Ventus
Dude, that was actually kinda the point I was trying to make to Cloudtheavenger. Sooo...why revert my revert? Rex Ronald Rilander (talk) 02:37, 29 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Because his addition is in the right? --Ignis (talk) 04:02, 29 October 2016 (UTC)
 * You know, I'd ask "how so", but I've never actually played Birth by Sleep. Just watched this movie ONCE. So maybe I should just not touch BBS Story stuff. What do you think? Honest question. Rex Ronald Rilander (talk) 04:09, 30 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Yeah....that's...probably a good idea. --Ignis (talk) 16:02, 30 October 2016 (UTC)
 * No, Cloud is not in the right. Nothing indicates that the order of events is "Ventus, then Aqua", and in fact both battles end with the implication that Ven has regained his body just as the X-blade is defeated -- thus, the battles are simultaneous. 14:49, 7 November 2016 (UTC)
 * I KNEW IT!! *Ahem* Forgive me for that. Rex Ronald Rilander (talk) 07:00, 9 November 2016 (UTC)

Ninja Shiek
is there a reason why you wanted me to stop my underclassman from my old high school? Kunoichi101 (talk) 20:15, 5 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Kunoichi101, he wasn't addressing you. He was actually talking to Byzantinefire.-- 20:17, 5 November 2016 (UTC)
 * XD I think I forgot an additional colon on her talk page. My bad lol.  --Ignis (talk) 23:57, 5 November 2016 (UTC)

Images
Hey there. Just a reminder for when you upload images to add the proper licensing and category/categories. If you aren't sure of which category/licensing to use, just ask. Also, regarding the images you uploaded a while back- the "cutin" and "BUTTON" images, in particular. Are these images serving a later purpose, or were they a temporary idea that was closed? If the former, that's fine, we can categorize them appropriately. If the latter, please upload them to an off-Wiki site (Photobucket is what I've used) and link that back to the Wiki. Thanks, if you have any questions just ask. 02:27, 11 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Those buttons will be revisited later, when site theme is updated. When that happens, the images and their licenses will be tweaked accordingly.  For the time being, they were just made for the sake of playing around with some ideas in the sandbox.  --Ignis (talk) 05:23, 11 November 2016 (UTC)

KH 358/2 Days maps
Are you still working on the Days maps? If you're not, may I do them?

Rebellious Treecko (talk) 02:15, 6 December 2016 (UTC)


 * No. Me and Shard ran into a snag when it came to savestates.  I would've had to start from scratch, and that's the one game I have zero intention of replaying.  Much less emulated and via a keyboard.  Have at it.  --Ignis (talk) 03:34, 6 December 2016 (UTC)

Site Theme
Great job on the site theme! :D It looks amazing!-- 21:25, 10 December 2016 (UTC)
 * ^.^ Thanks!  --Ignis (talk) 22:03, 10 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Yeah, it looks great. But what about this file, didn't we have a replacement for it? -- 21:32, 12 December 2016 (UTC)
 * What! lol I never even saw that before on the site, and I have no idea where it goes.  o_O  What's that, like an affiliates banner or something?  --Ignis (talk) 04:34, 13 December 2016 (UTC)
 * I don't even know what that was lol, but I went ahead and updated it anyway. --Ignis (talk) 08:27, 13 December 2016 (UTC)

KH 2.5 Sprites
can you maybe do the KH2 sprites from KH2.5 Please? I'd surely appreciate it.
 * I'm lost? --Ignis (talk) 20:48, 29 December 2016 (UTC)
 * I'm talking about like the character sprites for the damage gauge and stuff. 68.83.101.132 18:23, 30 December 2016 (UTC)
 * They've all been ripped, and they're right here on this wiki. --Ignis (talk) 23:47, 30 December 2016 (UTC)
 * But the Timon and Pumbaa sprite is from kh2 and not from 2.5. 68.83.101.132 15:18, 31 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Okay, I've updated it. If any others got overlooked just let me know.  --Ignis (talk) 18:14, 31 December 2016 (UTC)

Warning
It has come to our attention that you and Rex have repeatedly violated community standards on personal attacks despite repeated warnings. This will be your final warning - if you continue to seek each other out to start fights, you will begin receiving blocks from participating on the wiki. -- 18:28, 20 January 2017 (UTC)

Re: Moving
I moved the image because it does not follow our current naming policy. The game was a mere guess. Whenever you upload an image please make sure you are following the correct naming format. 03:44, 25 January 2017 (UTC)
 * I wasn't aware that we had a Web source format. This is the first time I've seen it.  --Ignis (talk) 04:43, 25 January 2017 (UTC)
 * We didn't, Ignis followed the procedure. For what it's worth, the image first appeared in the Memorial Ultimania. 14:09, 25 January 2017 (UTC)

Images Needed for KH Creative Projects

 * Soo...what exactly is the plan? Like, fake gameplay images?  Scans?  Or maybe like, webcomics or something?  I'm not that kind of artist lol.  --Ignis (talk) 01:07, 23 February 2017 (UTC)
 * I'm basically looking for fake versions of the material Square Enix releases to promote its games: scans, gameplay images, et cetera. Maybe some world logos if possible, that sort of thing. Does any of that sound doable? - 01:16, 23 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Yeah, quite doable. But, I don't really understand the point of it.  Like, is it for April Fool's or something?  Or just to troll the sites in general lol?  I mean, yeah, coming up with game ideas sounds neat on paper, but it's a lot of work for something that will ultimately go nowhere for everyone involved, and most people will care very little about.  So, I say, go somewhere with it!  Take that concept, and go all the way with it.  The "story screenshots" you mock up, you string into a cohesive story.  The "gameplay" images you mock up, you make into the battle scenes.  How about that lol?  --Ignis (talk) 01:26, 23 February 2017 (UTC)
 * This is all because I dream of creating a game series like Kingdom Hearts someday, if not contributing to the series itself. I have ideas, and I want to share them with the world. I've seen Kingdom Hearts fan-games get attention before from people online, and I'd like my work to get some of that attention, too. I want to create something that looks convincing and could be "on-par" with the rest of the Kingdom Hearts series as a whole. I have some basic story ideas for some of the games listed above, while I have gameplay concepts in mind for others. Did that make any sense? :P - 01:32, 23 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I get it. But, I can't just devote my time or expect anyone else to do the same for game concepts, and nothing more.  :/  I hope you understand.  --Ignis (talk) 03:24, 23 February 2017 (UTC)
 * I completely understand how you feel. I would not want to waste time contributing to something that cannot become a tangible product, either. However, I must admit I'm confused. What did you mean by, "So, I say, go somewhere with it! Take that concept, and go all the way with it.  The 'story screenshots' you mock up, you string into a cohesive story.  The 'gameplay' images you mock up, you make into the battle scenes?" I ask because I still see great potential in our team-up. Websites like this prove to me fan-games can generate interest within a community, but I realize working on projects like these is not everyone's cup of tea. What would you most be interested in working on, and what do you feel would be the best use of your time if you were to develop something like what I proposed? I honestly think I should have asked this from the get-go, instead of telling you what I am most in need of, myself. Please forgive me for that. By the way, those are some impressive-looking HUD mockups you have on your DeviantArt page! -  06:20, 23 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Personally, I'm not really interested in anything. XD  I make those mock-ups because it's fun, and because it makes my portfolio all purty.  Fangames are a pipe dream - 1 in 500 actually get made, and of those that do get made, 1 in 500 are any decent lol.  Though...I don't think there even exist 500 successfully made fangames.  XD  That's why I just make free-to-use user interfaces.  I'm not trying to make anything - that's up to individual people.  They're free to use my assets however they see fit.  IF I actively work on something, either by myself or with someone else, I have to be 100% convinced it's worth undertaking, and that it'll actually come out as something tangible.  May not be a fangame, but at least something with purpose.  What that is is entirely up to the person with the idea.  XD  Not including professionally commissioned work, I've only ever experienced that once.  ...In fact, I'm still working on it.  XD  You can actually thank Kryten for that lol.  So!  IF you have an idea that you are 100% convinced can actually be made, are 100% convinced you can convince me, and it has a purpose, then I'm all ears.  :P  It's not as hard as it sounds lol!  I'm easily convinced!  I just need safeguards, so to speak, so random fools don't try to waste my time lol.  In fact, Kryten convinced me of my current project with just a single sentence.  And he doesn't even know it!  XD  I'mma surprise the fuck out of him with it.  --Ignis (talk) 07:16, 23 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Let us take fan-games out of the equation. Have you ever considered teaming up with someone to produce an original game? The only reason I tend not to write brand-new material is because I struggle to if I cannot picture it in my head. Thus, it is easier for me to write for existing franchises, as I already know how their characters and worlds look. It only takes a bit of imagination to tell new stories about them.


 * That said, I have always wanted to put fan-games on the back-burner and focus on producing my own stuff. I dream of telling new tales about characters I invent and then having the public enjoy those stories. Crazy as it may sound, that is my life's goal. This if the kind of thing I'd like to make someday, as far as video games go. I may sound overly ambitious, but in truth, I am just extremely committed. I have never been part of a creative team before, but I find the idea of it exciting. No matter how many projects I start, be they fan-games or otherwise, I find it is the lack of a team that shares my creative passion and drive that prevents me from turning out finished products. I can't tell you how many concepts I have stuck in limbo because I have incurable writers block where they are concerned :P I guess all I need is the right inspiration. - 07:49, 23 February 2017 (UTC)
 * I'd love to lol. But you need a team of people, each with certain skillsets and are all equally committed to making something happen.  The thing is, most everyone won't do it for free.  If you come up to an, I dunno, concept artist and tell them you have a game concept, but you have no team, no build, and no money they'll just laugh at you until you're no longer in their field of vision.  I never said this here before lol, but about 6 months ago I actually started to work professionally by getting involved in the indie scene - by putting myself out there, and since then I've talked with all kinds of people, with all kinds of talents.  Talking with me about stuff like this isn't really gonna change much.  You need to put yourself out there!  So, here's my suggestion:  Get involved lol.  Start collaborating with some folks.  Take your own skill set, put it out there, and you might just find people who need it.  Once you know (and they know!) you can work in an organized, team-based environment, it's your turn!  --Ignis (talk) 19:03, 23 February 2017 (UTC)

Warning 3
First of all, please do not contact me on my deviantART account regarding a KHWiki issue between you and Byzantinefire. What you did and the contents of your message was outright inappropriate. If you wish to speak to me, please then do it on the wiki.

You've made it very clear in your PM and openly on the KHWiki that you do not like Byzantinefire, and despite of that, you continue to insert yourself in discussions that has absolutely nothing to do with you and overreact over nearly every little thing Byzantinefire does. And it's not with just Byzantinefire, either. You have butted into other users' conversations before and attacked them. You have been warned in the past by by other users, including myself, for being hostile to other users. In retrospect, many of the confrontations between you and Byzantinefire could have been avoided if you did not insert yourself into his conversations with other users and overreact when he asks other users for favors. But to make this perfectly clear, I'm fully aware that Byzantinefire's behavior was not exemplary, either. I have already issued a warning to him. In spite of numerous warnings and confrontations, Ignis, you and Byzantinefire continue to violate community standards by personally attacking the other. If either of you continue to provoke each other to start fights, both of you will receive blocks for misconduct. This is your third and final warning.-- 21:18, 6 March 2017 (UTC)

KH Unchained X facebook page
So, the khux wiki has a facebook page here. However, none of the editors on it are design/PR gurus. Is this something you'd be interested in having input on? 15:20, 7 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Sure! I mean I wouldn't mind helping out, but...I'm not exactly a PR guru myself lol.  Just look at the photobook project - a whole THREE submissions!  But anyways, just tell me what you need and I'll try and get to it.  --Ignis (talk) 18:44, 7 April 2017 (UTC)

Block
As you have received three warnings and failed to adhere to the rules of the wiki, I have blocked you for one month from the KHWiki. What you said about about Byzantinefire was completely out of line. Time and time again, you have proven yourself to be unable to keep a cool head and overreact with every little thing that Byzantinefire has done. You have attacked him on my talk page and on KrytenKoro's page. I was originally going to give you two weeks, considering this is your first ban, but then seeing your message on Kryten's talk page, where you once again attacked Byzantinefire by DEMANDING for him to be ban and calling him a "fucking three year old", I changed it to a month.

Do not act like the victim here when you were the one who attacked him first over something a single comment he made that voices his disapproval over using profanity, which no one should be using on the wiki, especially during page discussions. Contrary to what you may believe, I am not giving Byzantinefire special treatment or allowing to "manipulate" me. I have repeatedly issued warnings to him and you during these disagreements, as well. However, what you did was completely out of line. Whether you decide to come back or not after the block is your decision.-- 22:55, 5 May 2017 (UTC)

Do NOT remove messages from your talk page. That is against the wiki's rules.-- 23:12, 5 May 2017 (UTC)

You and Byzantine

 * I'm unaware of what happened on the IRC, and the precedent at least is that it's moderation is separate from the wiki's. If he spammed it, I encourage the IRC mods to deal with him - but we've even had wiki admins and b-crats banned/moderated on the IRC.
 * Regarding the spam -- he has been asked to stop spamming off-wiki topics, and as far as I can tell, he complied. If he continues to spam people, that would certainly be cause for discipline.
 * I acknowledge that it's pretty apparent he provoked you in the symbols thread by trying to call you out on a rule that, to my knowledge, we don't even have, especially after Ninja previously instructed him not to start arguments with you. That being said -- whether something counts as a personal attack is at the staff's discretion, and the point of moderating that isn't to give people demerits, it's to encourage harmonious behavior. I've had my own fair share of PA warnings, blocks, and bans, it is meant to be a reminder to seek good behavior rather than a permanent scarlet letter.
 * I have pointed this out for mod discussion (since it's apparent two staff members have opposing opinions, so we need to discuss this), but regardless of anything that happens to Byzantine, it is hopefully apparent to you that your response to him messaging Ninja way crossed the line of acceptable conduct, resulting in unacceptable personal attacks against both him and Ninja. If you have to vent your frustrations with such invective, at least do it in private so it is not a public spectacle that is certain to cause further drama between the two of you.
 * The wiki does not demand quotas from any editor, and no editor, no matter how much they've contributed to the wiki, is above the rules. As I have told you in the past -- even I have been banned from the wiki, even when I was the top, most prolific editor. We make a point of always allowing the slate to be cleaned for any editor, but the requirement for that has always been acknowledging that the behavior broke the rules, and putting the project before personal pride. The Heartless Manufactory project still exists if you two want to work out your issues that way, and we appreciate both your contributions to the project, but the base line is -- this behavior cannot be allowed to continue, on either of your parts.
 * Please don't claim to speak for my opinions on things. The reasons I don't feel like editing this wiki anymore has nothing to do with editor drama and much, much more to do with the fact that I'm nearly 30 and working to start a family. This is just a fanproject, and not at all worth treating like a crusade or holy mission.
 * Honestly, I'd recommend the same to you, and the same I recommend to all fellow editors or party members who get this overwhelmed -- this isn't life or death. Just take a break, get rid of whatever's causing you the stress, and if that means getting rid of the wiki, then that's what it means. Elohim/Allah/Vishnu/whoever will not punish us for not completing the wiki, there's no need to subject yourself to the stress if you're not getting something good out of it. 15:16, 9 May 2017 (UTC)
