''Moved to the requests page''

==Theme and GrandPyromania...==
I'll make the final tile once the site is back... some of them don't seem right, I'll see if Photobucket messed them up.

On a side note, we are linking to GrandPyromania, but he is not linking to us on his channel, Twitter, Facebook page, or Google+ page.  So, should we contact him and ask him to link, or should we unaffiliate with him?  {{The Inexistentsig}} 18:24, 23 August 2011 (UTC)

==TWEWYpedia affiliation?==
{{Chitalian8|time=23:31, 21 September 2011 (UTC)|nekutalk= Due to Neku's inclusion in KH3D, and with TWEWYpedia being a possible candidate for SEIWA, would it be a bad idea to send them an affiliation request?}}

That's a brilliant idea.  Would you like to do it, or shall I?  {{The Inexistentsig}} 23:40, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

I don't mind doing it. {{User:Chitalian8/Sig}} 23:50, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

{{Chitalian8|time=23:56, 21 September 2011 (UTC)|neku= I haven't asked them yet, for a few reasons. For one, there aren't many active administrators and bureaucrats. Second, the wiki as a whole isn't that active, with edits rather few and far between. With these things in mind, should I still send a request over to them?}}
So, are we affiliated with the TWEWY wiki or not? The discussion over there was quite positive if I'm not mistaken. --[[User:ShardofTruth|ShardofTruth]] 12:24, 24 May 2012 (UTC)

==Spyro Wiki Update==
{{Uxie|time=15:45, 15 October 2011 (UTC)|zoe=This is no affiliate request, but the Spyro Wiki at ShoutWiki is no longer active, since the site has been down since June. ZACH and I have returned to Wikia. Is it okay if you send the link to the old site please? I doubt the ShoutWiki site will ever be active again.}}

===Remove?===
{{Uxie|time=09:29, 15 February 2012 (UTC)|text=The Spyro Wiki wants nothing to do with this wiki now (according to ZACH), so please remove them. This wiki should not affiliate with dysfuntinal wikis, anyway, y'know.}}

{{Bud0011|time=[[User:Bud0011|Bud0011]] 14:41, 15 February 2012 (UTC)|text=I can recommend a decent and fully independent Spyro Wiki for affilation. }}

{{Bud0011|time=[[User:Bud0011|Bud0011]] 14:53, 15 February 2012 (UTC)|text=Aw...that's disappointing}}

== Linking to previously approved affiliate ==

:This is a continuation from [[/Archive#Requests_for_Affiliaton|this conversation]].
{{Bud0011|time=[[User:Bud0011|Bud0011]] 23:33, 26 November 2011 (UTC)|text=Hey Guys, Earlier in the Year, I put in a request for a few sites to be considered for affiliation, with all of them being approved (as far as I can tell). However, only one of them is being linked on the topic page. 

May I request that this be fixed?
}}
How about now? Did I miss any?  --{{User:Neumannz/SigTemplate}} 01:55, 29 November 2011 (UTC)
{{Bud0011|time=[[User:Bud0011|Bud0011]] 15:24, 29 November 2011 (UTC)|text=It looks good. Thank you very much.

These are affiliate banners each site has, if you would like to use them.

Although... I am not sure it fits, style wise... *lol*.

== FFWiki ==

{{FinalRest|time=15:36, 31 May 2013 (UTC)|normal4=I was looking through the affiliates and noticed that the Final Fantasy Wiki wasn't linked by you guys. I was wondering if there was a reason for this... They link here on their main page and link to the Keyhole on their Links and Affiliates page, so I was just curious about it. :) Unless there ''is'' a link somewhere (or a discussion about it) and I'm just blind. >_>}}

==Ratchetpedia==
{{Uxie|time=23:39, 14 June 2014 (UTC)|zoe=I read about what you guys said for Ratchetpedia, and if you're willing to drop the affiliation, then you've got my full support. It's kinda dead now, and unlikely to see some activity soon, and I'm actually starting to regret ever creating it.

Also, apparently the Spyro Wiki has dropped affiliation with this wiki, based on it's link with it's own affiliations, and only seems to recognize The Keyhole. I recommend dropping affiliation with it too.}}
{{Xion4ever|time=03:57, 15 June 2014 (UTC)|text=Are you saying you want to officially withdraw Ratchetpedia's affiliation request? As for Spyro Wiki, they might not be aware that we split. I'll talk to them and see what they want to do. EDIT 04:14, 15 June 2014 (UTC) : Just left a message on one of the admin's talk pages. We'll see what they say.}}
:They were aware of the split, since I was a leading admin at the time, but following my "exile", they chose to link to The Keyhole instead. If they won't link to us, then it's better to not link to them. {{Uxie/Sig}} 08:41, 15 June 2014 (UTC)
::In which case, I will take the Ractchetpedia off the main page. But if anyone changes their mind and wishes to speak with them about affiliating with us, since we The Keyhole's sister wiki, then you can undo the edit.--{{User:NinjaSheik/Sig}} 18:39, 15 June 2014 (UTC)
:::Alrighty, just checked in with the Spyro Wikia. Our affiliation with them is still in tact. I've asked if they need an image/specific link from us for their affiliates page. Also, unless I'm looking at the wrong page, I did not see anything about The Keyhole an affiliate with the Spyro Wikia...least not on their affiliates page. {{User:Xion4ever/Sig}} 20:42, 15 June 2014 (UTC)
::Strange. The last time I was there, the link was directed to The Keyhole, even though I did link here before I left. You might want to test the link first, and if they still want to affiliate with us, they should change the link. If they refuse, well... {{Uxie/Sig}} 21:39, 15 June 2014 (UTC)
:::Maybe I wasn't clear...There is no Keyhole or KHWiki.com link anywhere on the affiliates page. There is nothing about Kingdom Hearts over there. And yes, they still want to affiliate with us. They were under the impression that the affiliation was still in-tact. {{User:Xion4ever/Sig}} 22:59, 15 June 2014 (UTC)

==New Affiliate Request==

I've been meaning to mention this, but I kept forgetting. [[KHWiki:Affiliates/Requests#Kingdom Hearts Planet|We recently got a new request]].--{{User:NinjaSheik/Sig}} 03:49, 26 June 2015 (UTC)
:I say go for it. The more the merrier ^^ {{User:TheFifteenthMember/Sig1}} 18:59, 26 June 2015 (UTC)
::Agreed. I took a look around the site. It's active, and well-formatted. They seem to be affiliated with other sites. Actually, [http://www.khplanet.com/affiliates/ they already seem to have us listed under their affiliates page].--{{User:NinjaSheik/Sig}} 19:38, 26 June 2015 (UTC)
:A little gun-jumpy of them, and some of their articles seem a little sparse (although most of those are the ones that require translations to be had), but they seem decently put together, so I'm alright with it.  --{{User:Neumannz/SigTemplate}} 22:16, 28 June 2015 (UTC)
::Okay, I'll inform the requester about the decision tomorrow. I don't know how to, you know, do the boxes and add a logo for the site, so someone else needs to that. I'm going to turn in for the night, but I want to ask something else. Looking back at our Affiliates article, I see that the Disney Wiki is still on hold. What's our status on it?--{{User:NinjaSheik/Sig}} 04:36, 29 June 2015 (UTC)
I don't think there's any change. {{User:TheFifteenthMember/Sig1}} 15:08, 29 June 2015 (UTC)
:Hmm, okay, then.--{{User:NinjaSheik/Sig}} 17:47, 29 June 2015 (UTC)
::No objections here.{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 18:14, 29 June 2015 (UTC)
:::Yay! I have already informed the user via her talk page. Who usually uploads the image and does the formatting for the boxes?--{{User:NinjaSheik/Sig}} 18:27, 29 June 2015 (UTC)

==Affiliating with Podcasts?==

Just a suggestion, but since TNE recently mentioned an podcast interview with Vexen's voice actor on the Kingdom Hearts World Podcast, I've been thinking that maybe we can affiliate with some? Since ''Final Fantasy Type-0 HD'' came out, I've been visiting the [http://www.finalfantasyunion.com/ Final Fantasy Union]'s website to listen to interviews and [http://www.kingdomheartsunion.com/ they have a sister podcast for ''Kingdom Hearts'']. And if you listen to some of their recent interviews, they seem to be working with Square Enix in order to conduct their interviews, too. The FFWiki use the interviews from there for their characters' development sections. Again, it's only a suggestion, but I think it could be beneficial for us to affiliate with them. :)--{{User:NinjaSheik/Sig}} 04:08, 11 July 2015 (UTC)
:I'm all for it! If it goes through, I think you should ask them since you came up with the idea and are most familiar with the site. ^^ {{User:TheFifteenthMember/Sig1}} 13:33, 11 July 2015 (UTC)
::Yeah, I have no problem with that. For some of the interviews, I submitted questions. XD Not all of them were chosen, but when they were, it made me happy. Sice's VA said she liked my username. ^ /// ^ Anyway, podcasts sites also acts as news site, too. So, it's no different from affiliating with sites like KHInsider. Besides, their connections with SE might come in handy (e.g. citing VAs and expanding the development sections). I'll only contact them if the rest of the wiki agrees. We are a community, after all. Regarding [http://www.kingdomheartsworld.net/ Kingdom Hearts World Podcast], should affiliate with them. I took a look at their website. Seems pretty barren, but I think it's because they recently switched severs. They seem have to done interviews with Vexen's VA and Zexion's VA so far, though.--{{User:NinjaSheik/Sig}} 22:08, 11 July 2015 (UTC)

== Clean up! ==

Hey, so I've noticed a couple of our affiliates don't link to us and some are no longer even in existence. I've been thinking that we should go through them and see who still links, who still wants to affiliate with us, and take down whoever doesn't want to anymore. What do you guys think? Also, do we know what happened about the proposed affiliate above? '''EDIT''': These sites no longer link to us or exist: Spyro Wiki; Enix Origin (page is now down); KHPlanet (the affiliates page is now missing); Thelightningspirit78; Hardyt3kyoyo; {{KeybladeSpyMaster/Sig}} 18:57, 27 July 2017 (UTC)
:Agreed. As for the affilation with Final Fantasy Union, I never approached them with an affiliation request since I was waiting more users to voice their opinions and get the OK. I still think it'd cool to affiliate with them, and they're still active, too.--{{User:NinjaSheik/Sig}} 19:29, 27 July 2017 (UTC)
::I'm down for the affiliation. I'm down for most anything that'll get our name and site out there to get more people here to edit or get us more source-able information for the site. {{KeybladeSpyMaster/Sig}} 19:36, 27 July 2017 (UTC)
Seeing a lack of activity from the wiki at large, I'm going to go ahead and assume this is about all the response I'm going to get. If there aren't any objections, I'm going to go ahead and contact these sites/channels and see if they still want to affiliate with us, and if not, I'll take the links down. {{KeybladeSpyMaster/Sig}} 20:49, 23 August 2017 (UTC)
:::No objections here. Go for it. :)--{{User:NinjaSheik/Sig}} 22:10, 23 August 2017 (UTC)
Alright, update: I've contacted both Spyro Wiki and KHPlanet. Nothing changed at Spyro Wiki since the last time we asked (I think Xion asked a couple years ago). They still want to be affiliated, just like they said last time. But they didn't put a link at all after last time. I kind of want to give them until the end of the week or something to see if anything changes. If not, I say we remove them; they don't seem to want to link with us even though they say we're affiliated. As for KHPlanet, just confirmed this afternoon that they're affiliate page is down, a result of recent website updates, so they're still good. The webmaster told me he'd try and have the affiliates page back up this week. The two YouTube channels, I had a question. We're actually linked in all their Kingdom Hearts-related videos, but not on the actual channels. Do you guys fell that's enough? I kinda feel like it's fine just like that; wouldn't expect a channel that does all kinds of video game walkthroughs to link us on their actual channel. {{KeybladeSpyMaster/Sig}} 22:14, 30 August 2017 (UTC)
:::I agree on the matter with the Spyro Wiki. It's pretty weird for us to be affiliated them with them if they don't link back to the KHWiki. As for the YT channels, I feel like it's fine as it is. We're affiliated with them for their KH-related videos, and having a direct link to their playlist is better for viewers than scrolling through their entire YT channels looking for the KH videos.--{{User:NinjaSheik/Sig}} 22:05, 31 August 2017 (UTC)

== Bio-Roxas ==

I request that we reach out to [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVbL3fK5nnehn-ktyhlcRxg Bio-Roxas on YouTube] regarding possible affiliation. His breakdown videos are very well done.  --{{User:Neumannz/SigTemplate}} 17:26, 7 July 2019 (UTC)
