As if, it doesn't show your Card, Walkthrough, and MediaWiki edits because you haven't made any. {{User:Chitalian8/Sig}} 01:11, January 25, 2011 (UTC) | |||
Indeed. It shows in the editcount separated. So I guess no rewording is needed. {{User:Redeemer & Destroyer/Sig}}01:21, January 25, 2011 (UTC) | |||
:Walkthrough is not an actual namespace. Also, only admins can edit MediaWiki (which is really weird, because I have made MW edits on other wikis, but it is not shown in the totals). {{The Inexistentsig}} 02:10, January 26, 2011 (UTC) | |||
{{KKD|time=05:45, January 26, 2011 (UTC)|link=Wow, Erry. That battle box looks fantastic. | |||
A couple things I forgot to initally mention: | |||
*I think we should scrap the gradually rising editcount idea. It's far too much of a hassle to make sure every user has made the additional five edits or so every single week, especially if DS and I are the only ones doing it. A fixed edit minimum should be good. | |||
*Also, on another note, warnings and potential loss of voting privileges. We haven't really had any problems with users breaking the rules so far, but I believe it's a system that needs to be put into place regardless. | |||
:Holy cripes, As If!. That battle box... fantastic.}} | |||
{{SilverCrono|time=11:11, January 26, 2011 (UTC)|text=I don't think anyone paid attention to the rising editcount, anyway. I say keep the editcount at 140 (is that it? I might not recall it exactly...) and make it adamant. | |||
So now all we need to do is discuss the battle box, right? Let's get to it. <!-- Thanks for commenting on all the layouts but *mine*, KKD >.< --> I say (obviously) we go with mine. Are we going to do a vote or something?}} | |||
{{Darkheart3|time=03:48, January 29, 2011 (UTC)|ansem=*The editcount. Should we figure out how it's going to work, or are we just going to get rid of it completely? | |||
Why do we have it? I think everybody should be able to vote in the MA no matter how many edits they have. It's a fun thing! | |||
*The rules. Do we need to be more specific or more lax? | |||
I didn't really see any problem with them. I did notice though, that if votes are too long, they'll be moved to the Keyblade Graveyard. Does this mean the vote still counts? | |||
*Staying or going. Should the Mirage Arena remain here, or move to the new wiki? | |||
I think the MA should move with us. What's the point of it being here, when we're all going to be over there? | |||
*The Joint Struggle. Keep Second Chance? Scrap it? Make it bigger? | |||
Second Chance is good. I reckon we should keep it.}} | |||
{{LA|Vtext=@Darkheart: The editcount rule is there so that people don't join the wiki ''just'' to participate in the arena. We would rather our users edit the mainspace, rather than get caught up in userspace activities.}} | |||
{{Galexgan|time=03:51, January 30, 2011 (UTC)|terra2= I just want to make mention that if indeed the MA moves with the wiki and we have an edit count... nobody will be able to participate for a loooong while because everybodies edit count would be brought back down 0 with the move correct. And if we just take the articles we made and move them over there are less spelling grammar, and other such mistakes to fix thereby further eliminating/reducing the edit count amounts gainable.}} | |||
{{Chitalian8|time=04:13, January 30, 2011 (UTC)|talk= When we move, all of the editcounts will remain the same, thereby rendering your argument invalid.}} | |||

Alright, we move'd. Now what? Any decisions about the new battle box (or lack therof), DS/KKD? --{{SilverCrono/Sig}} 18:24, 9 February 2011 (EST) | |||
:Okays! The Nominations are back up; I hope we can start a new battle next week. And the voting for the new Battle Box is being held. {{User:Demonic Saint/Sig}} | |||
Nonononononono no no no no no. No! We cannot start the MA until we're fully moved in here and all the pages are synched. Besides that, I'm not ready to start running nominations again. The last thing the wiki needs is a time-waster right now. {{KKDSig|1}} | |||
==Vote for Battle Box (Closed)== | |||
Here we shall vote for the Mirage Arena Battle Box. Feel free to add your own version here for voting. The voting will close once the first battle is set to start. Do not vote for your own creations. The current proposed Box are: | |||
*The [[Template:MAVotes|current]] Battle Box - the old and regular Box that everyone is used to. | |||
*[[User:Erry/Sandbox|Erry]]'s Battle Box - A different layout with ticker borders, darker colors, a '''This Week's Fight!''' reader and a enhanced image of the x-Blade. | |||
# - Gotta go with this one. It's mot all that different from the current one, but the darker color scheme and background for the X-Blade work really well.{{User:LapisScarab/Sig}}15:07, 12 February 2011 (EST) | |||
# - Nice to read and easy on the eyes. [[User:Lilienne|<span style="color:#156105">~Lilienne</span>]][[Special:Contributions/Lilienne|<span style="color:#034949">♫</span>]][[User_talk:Lilienne|<span style="color:#156105">^^</span>]] 20:35, 12 February 2011 (EST) | |||

*[[User:As if!/Sandbox|As if!]]'s Battle Box - The same layout as Erry's but with a pallet swap based on the Mirage Arena logo, and a stylized Vs. image. | |||
*[http://www.khwiki.net/index.php?title=User:SilverCrono/Sandbox&oldid=424009 SilverCrono]'s Battle Box - A new layout with round corners, thicker borders, and a '''This Week's Fight!''' reader.{{SilverCrono/Sig}} 17:39, 12 February 2011 (EST) | |||
===Comments and Proposals=== | |||
Post here the any comments on the Battle Box and the votings. {{User:Demonic Saint/Sig}} | |||
Yeah, is there any way we can ditch the X-Blade as the "vs" thing? Not that it isn't extremely badass, I just think it should be saved for more important occasions, like the Joint Struggle. If we could get a new "VS" image back in, that'd be killer. Thoughts? --{{User:LegoAlchemist/Sig}} 21:50, 12 February 2011 (EST) | |||
:I like As if!'s VS, I think we should use it. Someone should make the quality better, though. {{User:17master/Sign}} 22:07, 12 February 2011 (EST) | |||
:We could also always just go back to the Oathkeeper/Oblivion one.{{User:LapisScarab/Sig}}00:48, 13 February 2011 (EST) | |||
Honestly, Erry's is... for lack of a better term... PIMPIN'! I like the way the X-blade fades to blue. Also, no personal offense intended, but pink just doesn't get me in a battle type of mood. {{The Inexistentsig}} 13:27, 13 February 2011 (EST) | |||
:I'm for it too — the current one was good for a start, but Erry's sort of gets the battle rolling. I do love this colour scheme, but I ''would prefer'' if it had rounded edges just like SilverCrono's. <sup>'''[[User:Troisnyxetienne|<font color="#8B0000">Tambours</font>]]'''</sup><sub>'''[[User talk:Troisnyxetienne|<font color="#B8860B">Tonnerre</font>]]'''</sub> '''[[User:Troisnyxetienne/Mensa|<font color="#000000">Ensemble !</font>]]''' 12:12, 14 February 2011 (EST) | |||
Okay guys! I'll leave this voting open for one more week, and then it's closed for good.{{User:Demonic Saint/Sig}}11:24, 26 February 2011 (EST) | |||
