{{KrytenKoro|Like the Keyblade and World images, ''all'' character, item, or other images should be named of the format "title (optional identifier if several images for same title) gameid.filetype".

So, "Leon KHII.jpg", or "Data Sora (profile) KHII.png"}}

{{17m|ezio= What about uploaded images which name doesn't follow the format? Will it be deleted? And images like "Leon Kingdom Hearts II.png is also good, right?}}
{{KrytenKoro|They should be moved to a correct name. And no, that name is not good.}}

{{17m|ezio= I see. Can I help with changing the names, then?}}
Remind me: The abbreviations are KH, KHII, KH:COM, KHBBS, KHD, KHc?  --[[User:Neumannz|'''<span style="font-family:Gisha; color:#005400">Neumannz</span>''']], [[User talk:Neumannz|''<span style="color:black; font-family:Agency FB Bold">The Dark Falcon</span>'']] 15:33, December 3, 2010 (UTC)
:{{17m|ezio= shouldn't it be KHBbS? And what about remakes and Final Mixes? Will it be like KHRECoM and KHBbSFM?}}
{{KrytenKoro|All caps are used for these for simplicity, but yeah.}}

{{Lapidoth|text=Are you renaming real world items as well?}}

{{17m|ezio= this may sound stupid, but, uh... How do we move pictures?}}
{{KrytenKoro|Any KH image will get renamed (barring screenshots, probably).

Pictures are moved the same way that pages are. If you don't have the tab, then you don't have the permissions to move the image.

Instead, use [[:Template:Bad Name]], so that a mod or admin can just move the image to the correct title.}}

{{17m|season= D: Allright I'll put the templates, then. EDIT: Someone should put up how the bad name template is used.}}

{{Lapidoth|skinny= All the Hot Topic merchandise is KHII, so you won't have to go looking for what game they're from. Also, I know this doesn't go here, and I apologize in advance, but the titles of the strategy guide pages are different. Some say Official and some say Signature Series. Example: [[Kingdom Hearts II Official Strategy Guide]] VS [[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Signature Series Strategy Guide]]. What should they be named?}}
{{KrytenKoro|This is just for images from the games; merchandise is not affected.}}
{{ShardofTruth|time=11:09, 21 September 2011 (UTC)|talk=The optional identifier for a second render in the same series used for battle stances is "(Battle)" now by the way. I think there was another forum on this topic, but I can't seem to find it at the moment. What about the forms?
Currently used examples:
*[[:File:Sora TR KHII.png]]
*[[:File:Sora (Vampire Form) KHII.png]]
*[[:File:Master Form HT KHII.png]]

Because there are no drive forms in KHI, the place should always come first in my opinion. So which is is now?
*"Sora (Vampire Form) (Master Form) KHII"
*"Sora HT (Master Form) KHII"
*"Sora HT MF"

There are forms that always match a place
*Merman/Squid/Turtle ==> Atlantica (AT?)
*Vampire/Mummy/Frankenstein/Halloween ==> Halloween Town (HT)
*Data ==> Space Paranoids (SP)
*Retro ==> Timeless River (TR)
*Lion/Bird/Tortoise ==> Pride Lands (PL?)
*Santa/Snowman/Reindeer ==> Christmas Town (CT)

But there are also forms that aren't like Card, Die or the Final Form of Xemnas. On the other hand there is the problem with the inhabitants of Timeless River. Is it [[:File:Horace Horsecollar TR KHII.png]] or "Horace Horsecollar (Retro Form) KHII"? On a side note: Malificent as a Halloween Town form too.

But there is more:
Is there a pattern how to name the KHCOM character images, which aren't renders like [[:File:Axel-ChOfMem.png]]? Also could somebody make suggestions for name of these renders (because the standard is already taken):<br>
KHII
*[[:File:Roxas_Render.PNG]] (often missed official KHII render)
*[[:File:Xemnas_KHIIFM.png]] (not KHIIFM at all)
*[[:File:Xemnas (Final Form) KHII.png]] and [[:File:Xemnas Final Form 2 KHII.png]] if we change the form apprendix.

KHD
*[[:File:Roxas Days Artwork.PNG]]
*[[:File:Axel Roxas Days.png]]
*[[:File:Axel Days.PNG]]
*[[:File:Xion 2 KHD.png]]
}}

{{17m|time=12:41, 21 September 2011 (UTC)|text2= These are my opinions:

I think Sora (Master Form) HT KHII.png looks neat

As for world tags, those'll do

For TR inhabitants, they're actually the old version of Disney characters, so I don't know if we should use "Form". Maybe something like "Horrace Horsecollar (Retro) KHII.png", without the Form

For KHCoM images, they're sprites so maybe something like "Axel (Sprite) KHCOM.png" and for talk bubbles, "Axel (Talk Bubble) # KHCOM.png

For those KHII and KHD images, I thought we can use numbers to identify second or third render? Like that Xion 2 KHD.png}}
{{KrytenKoro|I'm honestly not sure the "Vampire/Retro/etc." stuff is official, especially for non-party members. I would prefer we use the world IDs (TR, HT, etc.) So, "Sora (Master Form) HT KHII.png". The non-world ones should use regular parsers (e.g. "Sora (Card Form) KHII.png")

For the KHCoM renders vs. sprites...I believe the wider standard is to actually give the sprites the KHCOM ID, in which case I'd recommend the renders getting (Render). If that's going to be more difficult to implement, I would suggest (Sprite) and (Talksprite #) for the sprites. (Speaking of KHCOM sprites, is there any chance you could replace the GBA-version Moogle Shop deck sprites with the ReCoM renders?) Basically, what would be easier on you guys to implement?

*The Roxas image should be "Roxas (Black Coat) KHII.png".
*I suppose the Xemnas image should be "Xemnas (Battle) KHII.png".
*"Xemnas (Final Form, Battle) KHII.png" and "Xemnas (Final Form) KHII.png".
*"Roxas 2 KHD.png"
*"Axel & Roxas (Battle) KHD.png"
*"Axel 2 KHD.png"
*Fine as is.}}

Why wouldn't it just be "File:Horace Horsecollar KHII.png"? Why does it need any modifier at all? Besides that, I agree with Kryten, although I'd make it "(Talk Sprite) #".
