 {{The Dark Master|time=[[User:The Dark Master|The Dark Master]] 21:23, February 3, 2011 (UTC)|dark=Guys you are not getting my point.Editors on the wiki are like writers,they enjoy creative developemnt which is what talk bubbles provide for them.Also I have seen plenty of talk images that were made by users and some of these images were not even in the games for KH.Would that not be condidered fan made?}}

+|text=Perhaps I am naive, but I would have though that, by definition, if an image is for purely user-based purposes, it is a user image. Regardless of whether it is a KH-related image, and regardless of whether it's derived from an ''official'' image, if it isn't uploaded for the purpose of being used on the wiki's mainspace, projectspace or galleryspace – are there any other "proper" namespaces? If so, those too – it's a user image.
-#No one is saying that the talkboxes must be ''eliminated''. What we are saying is that, if you have more than one, it needs to be combined with your main template. This is easy enough to do with if tags.
+Questionable comparison to date-rape aside, I agree completely with SilverCrono's point above. The ''raison d'etre'' of the wiki is '''to be a wiki'''. Talk bubbles are a pretty bauble, a decorative piece of code, but underneath that they, like the wiki, have a ''function'', which is to show who is saying what. While there is some scope for creativity, it must not be at the cost of the function, i.e. ''there is <u>no</u> excuse for it being unclear whose bubble it is''.
-#Talk images: '''''YES'''''. They would be fan made. So would all the faux-Days images. They are all very, very much so fanart. And they can all, down to the last one, be hosted on photobucket or imageshack.
-I honestly don't give a shit about the actual layout of the talkboxes, whether they are standardized in size or name. What is making my life difficult is that the various pieces of them are STREWN ACROSS THE WIKI because people aren't keeping their stuff in order. You'll notice that even though me and DTN both have multiple talkbox avatars and versions, we (1) use a single over-template, and (2) have very, very few fan-made images as our avatars (I have one that BK made me as a Christmas Gift, and I'm planning on putting that on photobucket as well).
+If you want to do something purely for the sake of it being creative, I direct you to DeviantArt, FanFiction.net, or any of a billion other sites that exist for the purpose of creativity. In the meantime, it has no place here if it's going to interfere with the actual purposes of the talk bubble.
-We have to have almost 100 different variations on the Roxas-Days-box by now. That's not orderly, and there's no need for it. It's not like it's easier to upload the images here or anything - at photobucket, you can upload them en masse in seconds, while here, you can only do ten at a time, and it tries to halt you with warnings for every one.}}
+Incidentally, the same is true of signatures, but let's not wade into that issue right now.

-{{The Dark Master|time=[[User:The Dark Master|The Dark Master]] 21:45, February 3, 2011 (UTC)|dark=Yes I know there are many talk box images but hvaing so many of them is necessary so that people they can be stored and used by new users in the future.There is no harm in having fan art on talk bubbles just as long as people do not use them on articles so we can keep stuff clean.Kryten can youtell are you angry about people having more than one template page or that there are too many  talk bubbles?}}
