{{ErryTalk|time=10:37, 12 April 2014 (UTC)|glados=So, regarding our projects, we've got [[KHWiki:Traverse Town/2nd District/Shopping Block|these here]], that hasn't been updated in a while, not only that, but we've also got [[http://www.khwiki.com/KHWiki:Traverse Town/2nd District/Gizmo Shop|this page]], which, for a fact, hasn't been updated. We need users to join these projects and complete them. I'll make a checklist underneath with all the projects and I need people to drop their signatures (preferrably without a timestamp).}}

<big><big> MAKE SURE YOU CHECK [[Forum:Materials Available|HERE]] AND UPDATE WHAT YOU HAVE AVAILABLE SO OTHERS KNOW WHO TO WORK WITH </big></big>

:'''Project Cards'''
;This project requires someone who has access to any cards, be they physical or scans, as long as they can get us the images of the cards.
#ENTER NAME HERE

:'''Project Coliseum'''
;Not sure about this project, but I would assume you need the games and the guides required for this. This appears to be done to me, but we've still got the Flick Rush stats that we need to get down, I believe.
#ENTER NAME HERE

:'''Project Gummi'''
;I remember there were some advancements here for the past few years, but I think this project is still going on. Help with this one is much appreciated.
#ENTER NAME HERE

:'''Project Image Renovation'''
;This project looks to be done, but just to make sure, we need at least 3/4 people to go over the majority of images (painful, I know) and add the naming schema and such.

:'''Project Items'''
;This project needs a few users to work on it. From what I gather, some item pages are still stubs. I think the optimal case here is to put separate items that aren't all that informative into one informative article that is formatted like a list.

:'''Project Music'''
;I remember there was work on the list of tracks, however afterwards it died down a bit. One person should work on this at least.

:'''Project Video'''
;This project requires someone who has access to a capture device. The PS3 versions of games are preferred over the originals (except in the case of Days and <nowiki>Re:coded</nowiki> as those are simply cutscenes).
#{{User:Erry/Sig}}

:'''Project World'''
;This project also requires some meddling with the game, since some rooms only appear in cutscenes and are only visible through meddling with the code.
#ENTER NAME HERE

:'''Project SHOUT'''
;This project has been well underway, but some games are missing, so we need some people to offer help.

==Project Details==
===Project: Image Renovation===

*'''Task 1:''' Update images from .jpg to .png
*'''Task 2:''' Correct any images not following our current naming schema
*<s>'''Task 3:''' Move all user images from [[:Category:Pages for deletion]] off the Wiki (i.e. Photobucket) and link back on the Wiki.</s>
*'''Task 4:''' Fix images still needing transparency.
*'''Task 5:''' [[:Category:Unsatisfying Images]]
*'''Task 6:''' [[:Category:Articles in need of images]]
*'''Task 7:''' Renaming/deleting files

;Specific To-Do List:
* [[:Category:Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories character images]]: Most characters will have two images: a CGI-like version (such as [[:File:Axel KHCOM.png]]) and an in-game sprite version (such as [[:File:Axel (Sprite) KHCOM.png]]). Double check that should the character have a full-body sprite image, the sprite is named following the schema: '''File:Character (Sprite) KHCOM.png'''. If it doesn't have the right naming schema, switch all links currently using the incorrect name to the Character (Sprite) KHCOM.png name and add <nowiki> {[Bad Name|name=(correct name)}} </nowiki>. This goes for talk sprite images as well with the schema of '''File:Character (Talk sprite) # KHCOM.png'''. Live talk images should be under the schema: '''File:Character (Live talk sprite) # KHCOM.gif''' or for full-body: '''File:Character (Live sprite) KHCOM.gif'''. If a character has more than one form, capitalize the form and put it after the character's name: like '''Jafar Genie (Sprite) KHCOM.png'''. Move image, double check for any red links.
* Images needing transparency: [[:Category:Merchandise Images]]....
* Bad names/needs formatting: [[:Category:Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days panel images]], [[:Category:Kingdom Hearts II skateboard images]]...
;Comments:
*Task 1: Should a deletion be needed, post the link on the [[KHWiki:Pages for deletion|deletion page]]. This goes for staff and regular users. We were trying to keep a record of all the deletions the last time we started this but that slowly stopped. Also, this cannot be stressed enough, make sure all articles linking to an image are taken care of before any deletions are made. [[:Category:Images with bad names]]

*Task 2: Double check cutscene images with [http://kh13.com/videos/ this] website. Double check names for characters/artwork-pretty much any image we have with our current naming process.

*<s>Task 3: I have uploaded hundreds of similar user images to my own personal Photobucket account (link can be found on my [[User:Xion4ever|userpage]]). However, if others would join in and help move these off the Wiki and switch in the Photobucket links, that would awesome. For talk templates, this means using <nowiki>{{User:Xiggie/TalkTemplate2</nowiki> instead of <nowiki>{{TalkTextTest2</nowiki> and <nowiki>{{User:Xiggie/TalkTemplate</nowiki>. We never decided what to do about the Days character images in the articles for deletion category, so, for the time being, leave those alone. It is very important that we do not delete any image until we are completely certain that they no longer link to anything on the Wiki. This is a big/no-fun job, but is the biggest problem/eyesore in our image categories.</s>

*Task 4: This is for people with GIMP/Photoshop/some other image editor that allows you to make images transparent. We've done well on this, but certain images may still need to be made transparent. Examples of images with transparency are: character/artwork images.

*Task 5: Most of what these images need are explained on the individual image.

*Task 6: Pretty self-explanatory. If you can upload an image for any of the listed articles that need it, go for it.

*Task 7: If a file needs renamed, please [[KHWiki:Staff|ask a staff member]] to move the image. Naturally all links should be taken care of before the move is done. As for deletions, either notify an admin, or, preferably, [[KHWiki:Pages for deletion|post the links over here]]. [[User:ANX219|ANX219]] has a sandbox with a list of images that need to be deleted [[User:ANX219/Sandbox#Project:Image_Renovation|here.]]

===Project: Music===
*'''Task 1:''' Obtain screenshots of the track lists for all Kingdom Hearts soundtracks, Japanese and English.
*'''Task 2:''' Translate Japanese titles.
*'''Task 3:''' (For tracks used in video games) Identify where each track is used.

;Comments:
*Task 1: This is talking about a confirmed list of tracks, as taken from the back of the soundtracks. This looks pretty much done, to me. If not, we have some screenshots [http://www.khwiki.com/KHWiki:Project_Music here].<br>
*Task 2: This is for people who can actually/properly translate the titles. Google Translate is not a good course of action for this.<br>
*Task 3: This is probably what is left of this project...It is a rather large one, too. Figuring out exactly what pieces play when requires double checking by going by through the games. For example: Lazy Afternoons plays in KHII only when you play as Roxas; it plays in Days as the main theme; COM also uses it as the main theme.

==Discussion==
Alright, I initially started the page with a list but we really need to figure out how we're going to actually complete some of these projects. {{User:Erry/Sig}} 12:07, 14 April 2014 (UTC)
:Question: What's left to do for Project Gummi? {{User:TheFifteenthMember/Sig1}} 12:10, 14 April 2014 (UTC)

::I think we need to evaluate each project and decide what still needs to be done. That way, when people are signing up for the projects, they can decide based on their ability to do the tasks related to the project. And we need to update the project page, and bring it out from the graves. {{KeybladeSpyMaster/Sig}}01:27, 17 April 2014 (UTC)
:::A master [evaluation] list is definitely the place to start. I've started a list for what I currently see for images. I don't know what the deal is with the links posted on the Project Image Renovation page...That's a question for someone else.--[[User:Xion4ever|<span style="color:black">''Xion''</span>]][[User talk:Xion4ever|<span style="color:darkred">''4''</span>]][[User:Xion4ever/Atelier|<span style="color:maroon">''ever''</span>]] 01:08, 18 April 2014 (UTC)

:What's left to do for Project:Music? I've got all the soundtracks, I don't know if that's a place to start. {{KeybladeSpyMaster/Sig}} 02:02, 25 April 2014 (UTC)
::I've added what was on the Project Music page to the "to do" section here. I think that is everything left for music. I suppose another task would be double checking our .ogg files and make sure we have [30 second] snip-its of all the tracks.--[[User:Xion4ever|<span style="color:black">''Xion''</span>]][[User talk:Xion4ever|<span style="color:darkred">''4''</span>]][[User:Xion4ever/Atelier|<span style="color:maroon">''ever''</span>]] 02:42, 25 April 2014 (UTC)
:::Do we have a Category for all the music files? Do we need anymore, or do we have them all? {{KeybladeSpyMaster/Sig}} 21:13, 25 April 2014 (UTC)
::::[[:Category:Music files]]. As for your second/third questions: that's what the people signed up for the project are supposed to determine. We can ask twenty questions on here, but what it boils down to is people actually looking this stuff up for themselves and then posting on here what they do not understand/would like some opinions on.--[[User:Xion4ever|<span style="color:black">''Xion''</span>]][[User talk:Xion4ever|<span style="color:darkred">''4''</span>]][[User:Xion4ever/Atelier|<span style="color:maroon">''ever''</span>]] 22:06, 25 April 2014 (UTC)

===Project:SHOUT===
What are we going to do with the shouts we retrieve from the project? Will they be stored on a thread in Ansem's Computer or will they be used in the mainspace somehow? {{User:TheFifteenthMember/Sig1}} 11:45, 26 May 2014 (UTC)
:Oh wow, just now saw this. I'm sorry for the delayed response! If you want to start a forum on Ansem's Computer or on your userspace, like I did with [[Forum:Notes 26, (KHD, Day-by-Day Information/Points) - Xion4ever|Days notes]]/[[User:Xion4ever/Props|props]], go for it. That's what KeybladeSpyMaster is doing for [[Forum:Notes 29 (Project Music: Where songs play) - KeybladeSpyMaster|project music]]. We're more concerned over getting the information versus where it is stored. {{User:Xion4ever/Sig}} 23:47, 15 June 2014 (UTC)
::*Equally late response* The shouts are already being gathered [[KHWiki:Project SHOUT|here]]. I meant, what are we going to do with the quotes once we have them? What use are they to the actual mainspace? {{User:TheFifteenthMember/Sig1}} 00:51, 21 July 2014 (UTC)
:::Certain quotes are needed in the Quote: namespace...{{User:Xion4ever/Sig}} 02:34, 21 July 2014 (UTC)
:theyre meant to be ability page topquotes.{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 23:07, 21 July 2014 (UTC)
::In that case, which quote do we use if an ability has multiple quotes or different quotes for different games? {{User:TheFifteenthMember/Sig1}} 23:33, 21 July 2014 (UTC)
''¿Por qué no los dos?''  --{{User:Neumannz/SigTemplate}} 03:19, 22 July 2014 (UTC)

===Project:Image Renovation===
(A dumb question:) On the Days Artwork images: Are we looking at just removing the white background or making the entire image so that it's just lines? {{User:ANX219/Sig}} 00:12, 22 July 2014 (UTC)
:Not a dumb question. The what needs to be done for image renovation hasn't been updated in a while...I'll get to that later tonight, after dinner. Check out [[Forum:Art Transparency]]. Between that and looking at the Days artwork images, I think we don't need transparency. It is hard for me to tell whether the lines are "solid" or "sketchy." The latter would mean the white background is necessary to see the image/all features whereas the former means we could probably get away with having transparency. {{User:Xion4ever/Sig}} 00:57, 22 July 2014 (UTC)
::Do we really have to make the clothing/merch images transparent? {{User:ANX219/Sig}} 18:08, 22 July 2014 (UTC)
:::For now, I'd save those for last/skip them. We really need to discuss what merchandise- other than literature/games/TCG/soundtracks- that we want to cover. {{User:Xion4ever/Sig}} 03:00, 23 July 2014 (UTC)
