| ==Of What Remains==
| |
| {{Bluer|14:04, November 7, 2010 (UTC)|I was contemplating opening a new forum thread, but if it's concentrating on the same topic, I don't see the point, so I'll just open it here.
| |
|
| |
| Assuming the move will remain with the status quo of its purpose, I propose that the Wiki that remains here gives leeway to more fan content. Kingdom Hearts is after all nothing without its fans. Also, real-world content should be given more coverage. Whatever was worked upon here should remain, fixed if broken, improved if healthy. We'll have to be lenient with it now that Wikia is taking a more Facebook-y approach.
| |
|
| |
| Every user out there have been great thinkers and movers so far, we can do with more positive and constructive ideas for the remaining wiki}}
| |
| {{Lapidoth|text= I agree with more real world content, but what exactly does more fan content entail, exactly?}}
| |
| {{neumannz|time=15:01, November 7, 2010 (UTC)|text=Would that be like the fandubs that were done by KH-Vids and that other site?}}
| |
| {{Bluer|15:10, November 7, 2010 (UTC)|Not sure about the agreed definition, but fan content would mean, to me, anything made by fans that have significant coverage. Something fanmade that was talked about somewhere, that kind of stuff. Prolly you have a better idea of it.}}
| |
| {{Lapidoth|text=Oh, that makes sense.}}
| |
| {{Maggosh|nathan=So, if I'm understanding you correctly, we take a FFWiki approach and allow articles for things such as [[wikia:fialfactasy:Dead Fantasy|Dead Fantasy]] and [[finalfantasy:Dion Rogers' Rinoa|Dion Rogers' Rinoa]]?}}
| |
| {{Bluer|15:38, November 7, 2010 (UTC)|Wikia wants to be all "fan community", yeah? Let's give 'em that, starting with "fanwankery".}}
| |
| {{Maggosh|nathan=Wait, you don't mean to go as far as to allow stuff from the Fanon wiki be posted here, do you?}}
| |
| We'll have to see. Perhaps we can set a criterion somewhere, or not. That and real-world coverage.

| |

| {{Chitalian8|time=15:51, November 7, 2010 (UTC)|text= EDIT CONFLICT: Regarding fan content, there would have to be some sort of regulations or rules that would limit what kind of fan content that would be added to the wikia, right? We couldn't let every single KH-related Youtube video (e.g. lol kingdom hearts) have an article. What would be the acceptable fan content?}}
| |
|
| |
| {{Lapidoth|text=If we allowed fanon material to be added here after the move, wouldn't that cripple the already existing KHfanon?}}
| |
| :Acceptable fan content is up debate. Same as real world. How much substantial info would it add to the fan community of KH? Its up for debate. As for that crippling KHfanon, depends on what KHfanon contains.

| |
| {{SC|time=16:08, November 7, 2010 (UTC)|talk=So, pretty much just merge the KH and KHFanon wikis? <!-- Is my story topnotch, maggosh? :3 -->}}
| |
| {{Bluer|16:13, November 7, 2010 (UTC)|That could be one way to interpret it. But I'm not sure if KHfanon wanted to follow KHWiki and move or remain with wikia. Either way, I'll have to sleep on it now, since I'm working tomorrow<!-- damn it --> so we'll probably have more proposals to work on.}}
| |
| {{KrytenKoro|I just wanted to say that I absolutely, 100% support Bluerfn's proposed changes, especially a re-merger of khfanon and khwiki on wikia.
| |
|
| |
| Also, wikkii will work, according to their admins, so I will start the installation this week. However, due to the complaints about this vote, and the new option of the Square portal, we can start a revote on where to move if you guys want. It needs to be pretty much unanimous amongst those who voted already, though, 'cause we cannot allow your votes to be ignored against your wishes.}}
| |
| {{Dan da Man36|time=17:33, November 7, 2010 (UTC)|talk=I support the addition of more real-world articles, but I can't say I'm keen on the idea of merging the Kingdom Hearts and Fanon wikis... It would cause a lot of confusion between articles, and possibly vandals trying to change the content of a user's fanon...
| |
|
| |
| If we do end up merging them, I'd just like to suggest creating a "Fanon:" space, or something similar in order to reduce confusion...}}
| |
| {{Maggosh|nathan=I was thinking more of a maintenance template geared towards identifying fanon material. Fittingly, it would have a fanon character "sprite", such as the one in this talk bubble.}}
| |
|
| |
| :Uh uh, no way! We are not having fanon stuff on this wiki. I approve of having articles on voice actors, but fanon will have to stay on the Twilight Town Library. [[User:SeanWheeler|SeanWheeler]] 17:45, November 7, 2010 (UTC)
| |
| {{Maggosh|flint=Who made you boss all of the sudden? We need to differentiate from the other Wiki, and this would create a big enough difference. If you want it to be fanon-free, be my guest and move to the other wiki.}}
| |
|
| |
| {{Lapidoth|text=I don't think that's up to you, Sean, that's why we're discussing it. The idea of merging them isn't completely ludicrous, but I agree with Dan, it would be hard to monitor all that info. The creation of new article would get a little jumbled as well. But, the template idea sounds the most reasonable right now.}}
| |
|
| |
| That may not be up to me, but I still don't like it. Putting fanon stuff on this wiki will make it as unreliable as Uncyclopedia. If we want to attract fans, we wouldn't be putting up lies and confuse them. [[User:SeanWheeler|SeanWheeler]] 18:07, November 7, 2010 (UTC)
| |
|
| |
| {{Lapidoth|skinny=Well, if there's a Fanon template on every fan made article, they wouldn't be lies. The consumer would be properly informed, therefore causing minimal confusion.}}
| |
|
| |
| @SeanWheeler: I think you're being overzealous and confusing the point of the two wikis. The current KH Wiki - the one that is moving - is intended to be purely devoted to official information on the main articles, and unofficial topics are contained on things like the forums. Once the wiki moves, the Wikia-Wiki will change in some way to differentiate the two; having it be a fan-oriented database is, I think, a good idea.{{User:LapisScarab/Sig}}18:21, November 7, 2010 (UTC)
| |
|
| |
| Well, I don't really want to move. You know yesterday, I looked at the Oasis skin, and it is starting to look better. Sora's page is still readable, and so is Donald and Goofy's. In fact I looked at the forum, and it looks good. Wikia is improving the skin. Fixing the bugs. And we still have Monobook. [[User:SeanWheeler|SeanWheeler]] 18:29, November 7, 2010 (UTC)
| |
|

| 1) Once again, this isn't just about us not liking the skin (though that is a big part of it). It's about how Wikia is ''forcing'' the skin on us, and that readers are still stuck with Oasis. The only thing Oasis has over Monobook (to me) is a better recent changes page, which readers won't see much anyway. 2) If you don't want to move, then don't. No one's making you. I you want to keep voting on TKW, fine, do that, but do it on the oved wiki (or the original one if they continue the contest as well).--'''<span style="font-family:papyrus">[[User:LapisScarab|<span style="color:midnightblue;">Lapis</span>]]<span style="color:black;">Scarab</span></span>''' 18:36, November 7, 2010 (UTC)

Thirdly, this answer is a little late, but to anyone out there who still dislikes the move because it would be "wasting all that hard work we put into it" is wrong. That is crap. <small>To put it in a simple form, pretend that there are two folders on your hardrive, nothing else. One is named kingdomhearts.wikia.com, and the other is named new wiki. Now suppose that the Wikia folder is full of files, documents and images and such, and that the new wiki folder is completely empty. Moving is basically highlighting everything in the wikia folder, copying it, and then pasting it in the new wiki folder. '''''Nothing was lost in this process.'''''</small> Finally, Sean, the new sight can't have Monaco because Monaco is not a public skin. It is owned by Wikia (if this has changed, please inform me). {{The Inexistentsig}}

| Not to beat a dead horse, but this is my summery on the situation:
| |
| :Wikia is a horribly company that cares nothing for the fan's that contribute to it's community. For example, [http://www.niwanetwork.org/forums/index.php?topic=143.0 see this]. Wikia buy's wikis with empty promises and lies, and then forces it, along with all wiki's under it, to have it to use wikia own's extensions and customizations. Being on your own would give you more control over the wiki and be run by actual fans, not faceless cooperations. [[User:Bud0011|Bud0011]] 02:38, November 8, 2010 (UTC).

|
| |
| Calling Wikia "horrible" and "faceless" is a bit of an exagerration. They are honestly trying to give the layout an easier interface. It works on some levels, and I see where they are going. However, the fact that this is such a template-heavy wiki gives us problems, since we have formatted so many of our changes to Monaco/Monobook. But to accuse them of such things as "empty promises and lies" is a huge overstatement.

| #We can install monaco on any new site. I have personally spoken to Sannse, and she has told me where we can get the code, although we would be responsible for maintaining the skin at the new site.
| |
| #I don't think we ever thought monobook would disappear (since they said it would remain from the beginning) - the problem with it is that Oasis is the mandatory default, meaning only registered users can see monobook.
| |
| #If the new wiki ever decides to come back to wikia, and the wikia version is okay with that, there's two ways about it:
| |
| *Carefully reviewing every page for edits that can be merged into the wikia version.
| |
| *performing a full database dump from the new site, overwriting wikia's version and any edits made since the move.
| |
| -So, it's possible, but a lot harder than the move ''out''.
| |
| #We do not need to do anything but move in order to move. Wikia operates under a copyleft license, meaning that anyone, at any time, can copy all of our content, as long as they preserve the edit histories.
| |
| #Wikia is a profit-oriented company that is focused on bringing in new hits and users. The main disconnect between us and them is that they basically view the quality of the wikis as a happy accident, while we view it as the primary goal, to the exclusion of all others. Wikia is not evil or bad, they just have a completely separate goal from us, and operate towards that goal. This move from wikia is due to our own goal having become opposed to theirs, making our continued partnership unsustainable.
| |
| #Theories subpages would be an excellent idea, I think, and while I don't plan on participating in them at all, I would suggest that they be maintained responsibly, rather than being treated like an internet forum of some kind. Well-built essays or academic proofs would be astounding.

| {{LA|Vtext=.....again.
| |
|
| |
| "fanon" =/= "fan-based"
| |
|
| |
| "fanon" is events or concepts interpreted or simply invented by "fans". This usually implies alternate or made-up stories, not speculation on actual events. If you look at the actual fanon wiki, we have a strict ban on almost everything that could be even ''considered'' canon, meaning that the opportunity to add fan-thought-of material on the ''actual'' series is pretty slim.
| |
|
| |
| Meanwhile, "fan-based" means that the community and the "fans" get more of a part to play on the wiki, which includes adding sections with more speculation (such as harmless "Theory" pages). This is as opposed to a strict "official, confirmed only" rule, like we have now. "fan-based" could also be more open to technically "unofficial" images, such ripped renders and such (of course, there'd be a limit to what could be used and what not).
| |
|
| |
| And quite honestly, I would like it if the wiki really toned down our "official only" policy. Speculation, while it distracts from the real article, is interesting in some forms. However, too much of it is an eyesore.}}

| I think creating a "Theories" namespace would be a brilliant idea. I realized while I was thinking it over that I myself would have a number of essays I could contribute along those lines, just from stuff I've been mulling every so often. Making this more community based would be an excellent move.
| |
|
| |
| BUT THAT IS NOT FANON. Fanon is the invention and insertion of random/fan-created characters/concepts/events into the established storyline, i.e. FAN-FREAKING-FICS. THOSE are what the KH Fanon Wiki are about, fan fictions. If you want to merge it with this wiki after the move, then whatever, though I doubt I'll have any patience to contribute to it in that case. I already don't.
| |
|
| |
| And the most important thing isn't really to send Wikia a message of any kind, but rather to find an environment where we can do our thing without having to worry about interference from the proverbial Man.

| {{LA|Vtext=Also, I think the option of merging fanon wiki and KH wiki is slim for a couple reasons.

It is a separate bar with its own community and should be treated as such. Everyone on fanon wiki that I've asked is not interested in a merging, anyway.

In real life, if you don't like the results of an election, you can't just say, "Well, the previous vote didn't count", and keep voting until you get what you want. The revote decision wasn't a vote in and of itself, it was a statement that those who voted last time ''wanted their votes thrown out''.

| I agree with the revoting. I really hate how Oasis is forcing people to move. I don't want to move because the only wiki sites I go to are NIWA, Wikipedia, and Wikia. I don't want to move to a new wiki site. The anons could create accounts can't they? And also turning this into a fanon wiki would drive away people who want facts and research. Also people could get used to it after a while, although it could take longer it is pretty awful. There are a few people who like it. I am not ready to move. I would revote to stay on wikia.

| Sean... what are you not getting here? We are not moving ''just'' because of Oasis. And you mentioned that you mainly visit Wikipedia (not a Wikifarm site), Wikia (obviously), and the NIWA. We want to make our ''own'' version of the NIWA with Square Enix wikis. And what is wrong with moving to a new sight? '''We are not losing any info, or Monaco. The only thing we will lose are our edit counts, but a good editor shouldn't really care about that.''' And dude, anons can create accounts on every thing that runs MediaWiki. Or do you mean that the anons could edit? Because, if you haven't noticed, they do that here, too. '''Next, THIS IS NOT GOING TO TURN INTO A FANON WIKI. HAVE YOU READ ANY OF THE ABOVE CONVERSATION? And the other point of that is that people come to the new site for the facts and information.'''

And second, what would happen to kingdomhearts.wikia.com?

That solves nothing. What the hell are we going to do? If we are voting, wouldn't it be better to give the staff the ability to vote twice, thus doubling thier power? Two votes for ShoutWiki is better than one. {{The Inexistentsig}} |

What I fail to comprehend is why there hasn't been a page created for the revote yet, with all of the information clearly listed rather than scattered throughout this and other pages. As for bogging down the forum...I'm not really sure where I've repeatedly asked the same question(s). I may have brought up a similar question or the same question once before but I don't think that counts as bogging anything down. If you weren't refering to me in particular I don't think you should've used the word: "you". Again, I am having a difficult time understanding a discussion that appears to be stuck in a loop when it would be much simpler to create the re-vote page with the aforementioned information, and when someone asks, direct them there, rather than expect them to sift through this entire page. --[[User:Zyeriis|Zyeriis]] 03:14, November 16, 2010 (UTC)

| I was referring to commentors like you and SeanWheeler who, instead of just reading the forum and seeing that their questions have been asked and answered several times before, ask them again, ''which bogs down the discussion''. And they would know that they were doing this is they ''bothered to read the forum''. We're not typing this for our own amusement. This is an important subject; if you're too lazy to read the bloody thing, you shouldn't be taking part in the discussion. I don't mean to sound hostile, but I'm fed up with this. This discussion ''is'' stuck in a loop, and it is the same type of repetitive questions you are asking thathas caught it in that loop. | | I support a move, for this an all wikis.

| Ugh, anyway, that's a good idea, The_Inexistent.

| | KKD's right. Give the wiki a few months before we up and pack all of our bags. I have only been using it for two weeks, and, with proper customization, I have grown used to it. I still prefer Monaco, but Monaco will be gone. I'm not going to whine about it, as countless people are doing. Another thing, this forum and vote is a little secluded from the community, why not move it to the front page? Or put the news in flashing letters on the page, maybe even its own box or something. Anyway, if we do move the wiki, I'll want to continue editing here as well as the new one. Also, what about the IRC channel? If we're splitting from wikia, it can't exactly be called ''#'''wikia'''-kingdomhearts''. --{{User:LegoAlchemist/Sig}} 19:34, October 27, 2010 (UTC) |

| ==Yes, No, Don't Know?== | | Don't forget, they're still working out kinks. I'm not saying that I like the new skin, but I'm just saying to give it a little time.

| | :"'''I have only been using it for two weeks, and, with proper customization, I have grown used to it.'''" - which is why it is still unacceptable. Whatever skin we have, it must be accessible to ALL users. If Oasis can only be tolerated by those who have logged in and played with it, then it has failed not only as a skin, but in its own stated purpose. |
| | :"''KKD's right.''" - KKD is absolutely wrong in everything he said. The release of the skin means it is ''done'', not that they have just produced it. The skin has been out for over a month now, and the truly game-breaking problems are not only not addressed, but wikia has stated that they REFUSE to address them. If you guys want to "give it time", then use it now, with no customizations whatsoever. Get used to what our readers will actually see. Quite frankly, your opinion on whether the skin is acceptable or not is worthless if you have not been doing this.[[User:KrytenKoro|(ಠ_ೃ)]] [[User_talk:KrytenKoro|<small>Bully!</small>]] 00:50, October 28, 2010 (UTC) |

Yes, there is vindictive satisfaction to be had in giving wikia exactly what they asked for, whether it's good for them or not, but when I suggested the fan stuff, it was to give a purpose to the people saying "I'll stay behind, but this place will be a graveyard."

Second, do we have a solid lead on a new home? And third, how are the transfers with the major wikis who left or are planning on leaving going? Much as I loathe Oasis, I would rather wait and see what issues occur for other wikis before we jump the gun and end up in the same boat. We might be able to avoid any major problems down the line by learning from them. I like Kryten's idea of approving our established users; for my suggestion, is there some way we could assign everyone a unique "password" in secret rather than a time so we wouldn't have a chance of others spoofing at the approved times?
