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. — 14:13, November 3, 2009 (UTC) The World articles are quite unorthodox in my opinion. While the content is fine, sections do not match for one another. I've found absent Heartless lists, and possibly absent characters and other sections. I remember there being a dispute about including Heartless in certain worlds rather than others, as "unique, One-World-Only Heartless" don't appear in Timeless River or Olympus Coliseum, two pages I've found the above to be problematic. Yet look at the Soldier and other repetitive enemies we list. Is it really that big a deal that we say Aeroplanes, Shadows, Minute Bombs, and others appear? Just walk over to Photoshop and recolor the appropriate images to be black and white. Easy. Same thing for Olympus, or at least the Underworld. All Heartless updates to a world in Days should also be made. I also was scanning through the articles, and found some pages not exactly "pageworthy." Not sure how everyone feels about bringing the tab system outside of the Boss Articles, but for pages like the Chamber of Repose, it should either be added to the Universe of Kingdom Hearts, or have the article in a tab dubbed "Chambers of Repose and Waking" as an area of its respected world. Several operations could be executed this way, taking the Underworld as an example. I personally have no idea whether we find this message to contain good ideas or not. At least they're things to be considered. As we're reconstructing the Character Pages, I'd say Worlds follow, and then possibly enemies? We'd then have to endure the long process of cleaning stubbed articles.

KrytenKoro - "Give a man a fire and he's warm for the day. But set fire to him and he's warm for the rest of his life." TALK - Personally, I think a good format would be like this: Infobox: Using most recent world image (not location art) Lead: Official name of world with nihongo, which realm, which game, and what it's based on. One sentence summarizing it's basic role in the plot. Areas: Does not have to be organized by headers, but if not, then anchors are needed. Short description of each room, using official name (!very important, almost all of our world articles use incorrect names!), with nihongo if possible. Story: Chronological plot, covering the events in the world seen in the game. We might possibly cover events mentioned but not seen, such as the discovery of Castle Oblivion or loss of Pride Land (KH1). Probably organized by game, since there is no Days/CoM overlap (Castle Oblivion is only visited by Roxas after CoM). However, how would we cover the facsimile worlds? They're not the real world, but it would be extremely awkward covering them all on Castle Oblivion's page. There's also the possibility of creating a separate page for them ("Castle Oblivion/Agrabah", for example) Characters/Heartless/Nobodies: All characters and enemies that reside within the world semi-permanently. Organization members organized as Nobodies. Treasures: List of treasures, listing room (official name!) and any special requirements. Trivia: Only the really important stuff, though. Music and Art: That music template we have, any previous world images, logos, and possibly concept location art. Directory box
