Being a Wikia, users come and go; policies change according to the current consensus; and new features are introduced and accepted or refused. The Wikia had been used to change- it is a part of life- but there was one change that was the “straw that broke the camel's back.”[https://www.khwiki.com/KHWiki:About 1] And so we went through this process known as “the split”, and not long after, “the merge.” Here's some of the forums you guys can read if you want to get some ideas about the split and merge: [http://kingdomhearts.wikia.com/wiki/Forum:Keeping_the_Content 1], [http://kingdomhearts.wikia.com/index.php?title=Forum:What_this_site_is&t=20111219231635 2], [[Forum:The Merge|3]], [http://kingdomhearts.wikia.com/wiki/Forum:Merge_Decision 4].

As a result, the wiki forked. The majority moved to a new independent website, known as the KHWiki, while those who chose to stay at Wikia rechristened themselves as the Keyhole. As we faced our darkest era, the community crumbled down to discord and disunity with arguments or personal attacks becoming commonplace.

Through these efforts, the community once again became one and both wikis became a more lively, friendlier place to work. A small group of editors believed that their work was not yet over so [https://www.khwiki.com/User:KeybladeSpyMaster/Operation:_Keychain Operation: Keychain] was launched, an even more ambitious scheme that aimed to not only increase the unity between the KHWiki and Keyhole further, but also establish a chain of ''Kingdom Hearts''-related wikis and boost the internet's interest in the franchise in general. Henceforth, the idea for the ''Kingdom Hearts Wikiverse'' was born.

Users were being slandered and criticized often, and I can think of at least 3 users whose OP rights were publicly contested in forums, DTN the most prolific of them all, mostly because of his satire and debatable behaviour to people.

:So yeah, moral of this story: don't troll your (sorta) internet friends too hard, or they'll go on with your lives and you'll spend the next 5 years of your life visiting an empty IRC channel every day in hopes of companionship. Also, don't fall asleep with your d*** in your hand. Trust me on that one.

:It was almost six years ago, so it's kind of fuzzy. I think I just wanted a place to look at more pictures of the characters, since the idea of Disney being fused with original characters blew my nine-year-old self away. I really liked printing out pictures to put on the wall in my room, so once I found the KH Manga at the library I was ready to add to my collection. But I also had no idea there was a community that comes with a wiki.
