Meeting 13, October 06, 2012 Agenda
''Any user can add to the agenda to be covered at the next meeting. Whether you are present at the meeting or not, the resulting discussion highlights will be included in the summary.''


 * Content on the timeline draft has reached levels of controversy regarding the Disney worlds and their canon. We seriously need to talk about what should and what should not be added before it gets out of hand. 17:59, 16 September 2012 (UTC)
 * This question was not answer correctly in the last meeting: IS TWEWY CANON?! In the log, all I saw was just the question being repeated and them saying "I guess... so.... I haven't play KH3D or TWEWY". So we can add that to the canon meeting/timeline thing. Neku (talk) 04:59, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Consider splitting world articles into Game namespace and by game, to cover such items as treasures, trinities, system sectors, link portals, etc. -- 05:42, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
 * One more thing. Should there be a separate page with just the storyline? Because the main series's page doesn't have enough depth about certain games, including 385/2 Days, or it isn't in chronological order. Neku (talk) 12:47, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Due to disputes regarding Drizella, Anastasia and Rinzler as villains, I suggest bringing up whether or not to add them to this template. The former two are brats while the latter is simpally a former ally who was reprogramed into a killer machine. 12:17, 25 September 2012 (UTC)
 * What I was meaning was that whether or not minor villains such as the three mentioned above should be included in the template. Same with villains such as Smee, Gantu, Beagle Boys etc., since not all "villains" are actually on the dark side. Villains such as Gantu and Experiment 221 are examples of those who are not purly evil; contrast with villains such as Maleficent and Lady Tremaine. 18:25, 25 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Should we have another Keyblade War? This would be awesome, as it's the 10th anniversary of Kingdom Hearts!!!Neku (talk) 20:24, 27 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Update IRC rules, adding rules about controversial topics like LGBT and religion. -- So  ve  19:53, 29 September 2012 (UTC)
