{{KrytenKoro|(No, I was suggesting using actual thumbnails, not cards.) Well, that's an Ether, not a Gummi Block, so that's a problem, and Random Joker would work better for the "Cards", and a World Card (Hollow Bastion?) for Worlds. And we really do need a directory to the various mythology articles, as they form the background of the series, and would be extremely important for anyone trying to figure out what's going on - our uploaded images...not so important.
I would really suggest just including "Abilities" (like Sleights, Gears, Tech Points, and Synthesis) in a gameplay mechanics category reachable from the game link. On it's own, it's not nearly as important as the other links.
Cards should point to the ''TCG'', not to Chain of Memories.
We ''absolutely must'' have a "Help category, though. Really, it's the most important out of any of these (which honestly need to be duplicated in the nav-bar to the right) So, I would suggest folding Abilities into "Category:Gameplay", a sub-category of "Games", and replacing it with Help, then replacing Images with Mythology.}}
{{Xiggie|time=17:19, 14 July 2009 (UTC)|text=I think that the TCG cards are not right for this... as they are big, and have more on them that the images (some text), and it's the image that we're using. Sure, they can be cropped..
About the either, there was no gummi card, so I just... used something square.
Oh, and if we are gonna use these cards, we can't use the world cards, since they are much bigger! we must keep to the... "style"...
OK, I agree that changing "Abilities"  to "Gameplay" would be...eh... wise :P<br>And "Help" should definitely be included! but why not include images? I don't get that...
But we can't link to articles/categories that doesn't exist yet... so until a mythology category (or something) is created... we can't use it, can we? (well, unless we just make a new section that gives links to all of those articles (is that what you meant by "a mythology directory" ?))
:p.s. I know that you were suggesting actual thumbnails, Kryten, but since they are not present, we can't use them :P<br>but we might wanna try that out, I could start taking some screenshots and cropping them if we want to give it a try...}}
{{KrytenKoro|erg...no, "Cards" should point not to the Chain of Memories article, but to the ''Cards article''. That's why I originally suggested them as the "parts of the franchise".
"Images" is basically useless as a information source. It's just a lot of images, none of which are terribly informative. We shouldn't have it unless we're doing other, more important wiki-maintenance links.
Then create a quick Mythology category. We need something that points to: Heartless, Nobody, Unbirth, Keyhole, Light, Darkness, Nothingness. The stuff that explains the series.}}
{{Xiggie|time=08:05, 15 July 2009 (UTC)|text=Oh, boy do I feel silly :P
But the cards already do link to the "[[Cards|Cards article]]".
OK, Images out, and Mythology in, ya?
would you like to create that there Mythology category, Kryten?}}
{{EO|text=I've watched this forum for quite some time, and the new Main Page looks great. But not to complain, but shouldn't the Worlds section utilize a World Card as an image? Just seems fitting. Sorry if this was brought up already.}}

Games, Characters, Enemies and Worlds in the first row (since they are like the main in game elements<br>
Abilities, Items, Gummi and Cards in the second row (since they are still in game elements but more like... secondary)<br>
Manga, Merchandise, Music and Images in the third row (since they are off gameplay elements
That's my 3 am suggestion}}
