{{EO|time=20:49, 3 October 2011 (UTC)|talktext=Back when this was nothing more than an idea, Kryten, I believe I told you I was starting [[User:EternalNothingnessXIII/Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Walkthrough|this]] (I've linked you to it/mentioned it to you and others tons of times). I know it's not "finished" (If we're deleting it in the end, what's the point?), but the community is more than welcome to glance through what I HAVE completed and make its comments. If we deem the guide "good enough," I see no reason why we can't just do some formatting changes (once we move the original version off-Wiki) to be in line with the Wiki-wide guide everyone seems to have started on ''Kingdom Hearts'' (this was intended to be a rough draft of any ''real'' Wiki-walkthroughs we made in the end, remember).
I have quite a passion for walkthrough-writing, so once we establish everything 100%, I'd be more than willing to contribute full sections of the walkthroughs/small portions such as strategies to them for any of the games (''BBS'' is my favorite, though, so I'd really like to be closely involved with that one...). I just need to be alerted/kept up to speed on the current state of the walkthroughs and what needs to be done for them.
I'll say it once and I'll say it again: my concern for this is the conflicting views of the various editors who will wish to contribute and the redundancy to articles/sections of articles we have in mainspace (which should not be ignored as we enthusiastically become the new BradyGames or GameFAQs).}}
{{LapisScarab|time=21:43, 3 October 2011 (UTC)|text=The user walkthroughs are not being deleted, nor are they being moved off Wiki. That was clarified at the roundtable meeting yesterday (by the by, there is a make-up meeting this coming Saturday; go to it). Any further comments about the Walkthrough space should probably be put on one of the ''several'' forums specifically about it. }}
{{KrytenKoro|LS: ''Why'' are they not being merged into the official walkthroughs? I doubt we even have multiples for individual games, and certainly not of good enough quality to not just treat them as stubs.
We've allowed people to make walkthroughs in their userspace since our founding, and as I've said before, not a single one was ever ''finished''. It's a lost cause. It doesn't make sense to argue "they allow us to represent other takes on the game", since all they are is fragments of a train of thought. I don't get why people are so attached to them; even after merging them in, I highly doubt there are any contradicting methods for a boss or world that we'll have to choose between.}}
{{Asif|sho=Okay... I really like ENX's walkthrough.  Like, ''really'' like it.  It organizes everything the way I wanted- per game, per character, per world- and contains just about all the information you could possibly need to play ''Birth by Sleep''.  If anything, my only complaint is that the "Terra/Aqua/Ventus Overview" pages are redundant to what is on the "Game Basics" page (or at least that's what I'm guessing, seeing as how none of them were actually made).  I'd also like the Table of Contents to be more prominent, and the "About the Author" section won't be necessary on a universal walkthrough.  Oh, and I'd appreciate it aesthetically if the world icons were arranged in rows, rather than one big column that is less user-friendly.  And the colored text from the Destiny Islands page should be utilized as well, along with a specific color key for enemy templates (Purple= Heartless, Yellow= Somebody, etc.). That's all. Here's to making a walkthrough where we don't, as a friend of mine once said, just "throw whatever trash we think of on the page and call it a day".}}
{{SidTalk|time=08:57, 4 October 2011 (UTC)|Axel= I agree with Asif. ENX has really done a good job with his BBS walkthrough, and we should use that method to write the walkthroughs. Organize it in the way ENX did, with all of the additions Asif mentioned, and use boss templates for each boss/important battle. In regards with the "Terra/Ventus/Aqua Overview", it should stay, and there the walkthrough writer can discuss the advantages and disadvantages each character has. In fact, if it is necessary, this should be the norm with games that let you play with multiple characters, like Birth by Sleep. One more thing, who will do Chain of Memories (Re:Chain has been organized, so we need the original). }}
{{17m|text=Same here, ENX's walkthrough is beautiful I love it. As for CoM I can probably help if I have the spare time to play the game (there are tons of assignments and tests lately, urgh.)}}
