TheFifteenthMember Yes. You're creepy. I can't say we'll miss you while you're gone, so it'd be best if you did go. We all win that way. — TheFifteenthMember 17:16, 1 July 2014 (UTC) Congratulations guys, we did it! Issue #1 has successfully launched! Now we have this magazine kickstarted, we need to sort out a few follow-up things, including: A navbox to link all magazine archives, templates and pages together. How to handle the comments? How to continue the Journalist Spot? How to advertise the magazine now?

Indeed, a congrats to all! Thank you for your hard work and efforts! Navbox: (see below) Advertise: The links for both Wikis have been shared on the Facebook page. Once/if/when we get the Twitter up and running again, we can mention it there. Links are going on the main page, and I believe something is said on the site notice. Other than posting in the IRC topic, I think it's going to end up to individual sharing. Xion4ever Who am I? — 04:13, 2 July 2014 (UTC)

TheFifteenthMember Myes, but THEY didn't know that! We have to consider THEM! And yet we must also be mysterious, myes, myes... — TheFifteenthMember 15:33, 2 July 2014 (UTC) So advertisement is sorted. And by navbar, I meant something like Template:Mirage Arena. I would do it myself but I'm not sure what the "official" magazine colour scheme is. Should we do purple and gold like Jiminy's Journal (an image that we are seemingly associating with the magazine)? We could divide the navbar in two ways: Main pages: "KHWiki:Magazine" and the Journalist Spot. Issues: list all issues (e.g. KHWiki:Magazine/Issue 1) Comments: list all comment pages (e.g. Talk:KHWiki:Magazine/Issue 1) Journalist Spot Archives: list all archives of Journalist Spots (which by the way, we need to create). Templates: list all templates The other version is: Main pages: "KHWiki:Magazine", current issue, current comments page, current Journalist Spot, Archives Issues: list all old issues. Journalist Spot: list all old journalist spot archives. Comments: list all old journalist spot archives. Templates: Current and old. Thoughts?

KeybladeSpyMaster - I fight for the Users! TALK - - Greetings, users. System is up, and ready for user input. - 11:04 AM Wed, July 2, 2014 MDT CODE 0xKHWV001: SYSTEM START UP I personally prefer the second option. It seems better. Advertisement is doing okay, as far as what we can do. We could add the magazine to the welcome template, or do what I do and advertise it in a welcome message (I always add a message separate from the welcome template, and the last two weeks, I've been advertising the magazine in it. There's very little we can do without plastering it on every website or something drastic. I think the Journalist Spot should be archived sometime after the publication of the issue. In this case, it'd be within the next couple days. But I don't know. Is it organized okay, or is there a way we could change it? Maybe we could create something like the Mirage Arena does and create a template for people to sign up on? I don't know. Comments have been organized, but I don't know if you'd like to change it. Feel free to, my way isn't the best way (seriously, I don't like what I did, I just don't know how to better format it).

The second way FM proposed keeps the current information on top and the archives/old on the bottom. That is probably a better idea. Xion4ever 17:27, 2 July 2014 (UTC)

We all win that way. — TheFifteenthMember 17:36, 2 July 2014 (UTC) The welcome template should link to the Traverse Town community portal and then users can find the magazine through there. Journalist Spot could be archived by making a new page "KHWiki:Magazine/Journalist Spot/Issue 1" and all the discussion and comments are copy'pasted onto the new page and then the normal Journalist Spot page is fresh to use for the next issue. However, the Keyhole is hosting this Journalist Spot so our one should just link to theirs. I think it's a bad idea to add sections to the comments. It's restrictive and doesn't let people do general comments like "That was a great issue! Can't wait for the next one!". So I would break down all the sections and let people add section titles as they wish. By "handling", I meant what do we do if the comments get spammed, vandalised etc.
