Eternal Nothingness XIII - I'm not afraid of what the darkness holds now. Even if you do wrest control of my heart from me, even if you cast me into the deepest, darkest abyss, you'll never sway me from the one cause that pushes me to keep on fighting. Whatever the cost, I'm ready to pay it. TALK - There's darkness within me... So what does that matter? I know I'm strong enough to hold it back. — 15:45, 14 April 2011 (EDT) For those who do not know, I was on a long and sub-permanent Wiki-break because I was busy playing Final Fantasy XIII and contributing to the Final Fantasy Wiki. I spent a great deal of time writing walkthroughs for the games I possessed, and I started wondering why we didn't have anything like that here... I mean, several users have walkthroughs in their sub-pages, so why not create a Walkthrough space like the FFWiki has, where we can show off these users' hard work in style? I know some of you are thinking "Oh, but this will distract users from editing the mainspace, and that equals TEH EBIL!!!" However, the Final Fantasy Wiki is significantly bigger than ours, and while several users devote time to walkthrough-writing, the mainspace there is never 100% dead. I'm almost certain it'd be the same case here. While you could also say a Walkthrough space will make boss articles redundant or vice versa, it certainly would allow us to clean those articles up so they aren't crammed with 10 different strategies from different users who have beaten a particular boss... I believe this topic has been glanced at in the past, but now I feel it is time we make our decision as a community. Place your opinion below. A "yay" or a "nay" is fine. (No wall of text from me this time... odd >_>)

AlVan - I'm the leading man, you know. TALK - {{{time}}} We do have a walkthrough page (at least the last time I checked). But none of them are finished and most of them are for KHII. I have similar beliefs that these guys should act more like the guys on the FF wiki, but instead they are obsessed with going by the rules and fixing anything they don't think belongs. Engaging in conversations on talk pages shouldn't be so strict unless there isn't much room left or if it is completely off subject. But what really ticks me off is when I post forums and no one else has a say in it. It is for these reasons that making walkthroughs will have to be done by you and I guess I can help out. I WILL NOT WRITE A WALKTHROUGH FOR RE:CODED.

Chitalian8 Say... — And here's me, playing the world's tiniest violin. Your face is priceless. — 17:52, 14 April 2011 (EDT) AlVan, for one, please don't go off-topic. Also, this has barely been discussed by the community, so don't go making pages just yet. I personally agree with a walkthrough namespace, as long as they are written professionally and reviewed by the community before they are published. After all, the walkthroughs should definitely have guidelines, like being written in PG-rated language.

AlVan - I'm the leading man, you know. TALK - {{{time}}} Okay, but don't delete it just yet. I do have a feeling that this is gonna take off. Oh crud. I just remembered. Kryten (jerk) will delete the page in a heartbeat if he's not doing it already while I'm typing this.

KrytenKoro - This is the song that runs under the credits; these are the credits, so this is where it goes. 'has nothing to do with the movie so we'll say, "Hey! Hey! Hey hey hey hey hey hey!" TALK - @AlVan: I know I'll have to do a round in the manufactory for this, but AlVan, you are an imbecile. Your inability to stay on any semblance of topic on talk pages is your own fault, not anybody else's. If you truly think that it is a bad thing to "fix anything that doesn't belong"...then, again, you're an imbecile. I'm willing to do a round in the manufactory as soon as you are, since you did a blatant PA above. If you don't want to do one, then can the next admin who sees this give both of us warnings, thanks. @ENX: Absolutely do this. I was trying to get one started through talks on the IRC last month, but that soured...however, I would love for us to have a "KHWIKI official walkthrough" for each game, in the vein of the Mission articles. Avatar Menu is, in part, an attempt to make such a page for that portion of Re:coded; I've started a very rough draft for Re:coded under my own name, as well. I'm not sure if the logs still exist anywhere (it's the ones between me and Random, don't know if anybody kept them), but my plan is that, as we go through the audit, we pick out all the walkthroughs and mark them (using temporary categories). Then, we can start an official walkthrough for each game, using all the info that can be leeched from each walkthrough; once done, the old walkthroughs will be deleted. This could also work hand-in-hand with our youtube channel - one of my main goals in working with Erry to get it setup was that we would have our own channel that covered all of the walkthrough vids we would ever need. In summary: YES, YES, YES. I would love for you to head this up, ENX, or at the very least, start developing the guidelines and discussion needed to get this all figured out so that we can proceed.

AlVan - I'm the leading man, you know. TALK - {{{time}}} Me and you just have a lot of different beliefs. We might as well just stop now before the entire forum goes off topic. I personally don't think that this counts as personal "attack". In my opinion the Heartless Manufactory should be for actual threats not minor name-calling.
