:::It's not trivia because it's covering his appearance in officially published material. The design section is the correct location for that. The design section is not required to focus solely on the games, or the "canon depiction". It's meant for the topic overall, which ''does'' include information about the out-universe design process, marketing decisions, and depictions in non-game material. We are not wikipedia. "Notability" is not a requirement, citability and accuracy are. | :::It's not trivia because it's covering his appearance in officially published material.

If you are framing a discussion based on what somebody "wants" rather than what policies and consensus ''dictate'', you have lost the plot. In addition, if you don't want to start an edit war, don't push your edits after they've been reverted, unless you've achieved policy-coherent consensus. | ||
:::Neither the discussion nor the article ever claimed there was some deeper significance to the distinction, and it's not required for there to be | :::Neither the discussion nor the article ever claimed there was some deeper significance to the distinction, and it's not required for there to be any deeper significance in order to be in the article in the first place. All that's necessary is that it be accurate, demonstrable, and a published part of the franchise -- and it is: Roxas is drawn differently from Ventus, which is unusual, in a major piece of artwork used to publicize three different games. It does not matter how he was depicted in other games -- what matters is that in this artwork he is noticeably off-model. As a reminder, [[Kingdom Hearts The Story So Far]] includes coverage of a ''smudge'', much more clearly accidental than the drawing of an entire, control-arted character. | ||
:::Xehanort on 2.5 cover, or Goofy-Riku and Donald-Kairi in KHUX, are absolutely fair game to be covered on the wiki, specifically in design sections, as Key Arts ''are official parts of the franchise'' (and for what it's worth, have frequently appeared within the games themselves). The design and origin sections are both ones in which we cover the topics from an ''out of universe'' viewpoint, which means including information that would not be part of the "inner truth" within the setting. | :::Xehanort on 2.5 cover, or Goofy-Riku and Donald-Kairi in KHUX, are absolutely fair game to be covered on the wiki, specifically in design sections, as Key Arts ''are official parts of the franchise'' (and for what it's worth, have frequently appeared within the games themselves).

:::As a reminder to all the recurring editors involved: long-standing wiki-policy is that information should not be placed in trivia unless absolutely necessary. If a relevant section on the article ''can'' be found, the info ''must'' be placed there. Information about the design of a character in a piece of official material falls under the Design header, ergo it is a violation of policy to move the material to the Trivia section -- as I've explained several times, including directly to the IP. Policy is also that in the event of an edit war, the article should be reverted to its ''pre''-edit war state, and that consensus should be derived based on wiki ''policies'', not on personal preferences. It's pretty troubling that this issue has even gotten to this point, as there are a multitude of wiki policies that should have been followed preventing this, and that the previous consensus discussed earlier in the article, with clear references to wiki policy by trusted users, appears to have been wholly ignored.{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 12:37, 5 August 2019 (UTC) | :::As a reminder to all the recurring editors involved: long-standing wiki-policy is that information should not be placed in trivia unless absolutely necessary.
