==Applying for Affiliation==
{{Bluer|15:41, 31 May 2009 (UTC)|As your self-elected adviser, I think it would be wise to tell people how to apply for affiliation, kupo! You know, something in the lines of "If you'd like to affiliate with us, please contact this user / write at the affiliate discussion page or the community portal etc", kupo.


<center><small>[[KHWiki talk:Affiliates/Archive|Archive]]</small></center>
On a side note, the Square Wiki wishes to affiliate with KHWiki, kupo. We're already linking to the KHWiki at our main page, }}

==Theme and GrandPyromania...==
==Kingdom Key==
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.
I'd like to inform everyone that our affiliate the Kingdom Key has changed their domain from IGN to [http://www.thekingdomkey.net here]. That is all.

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?==
==Affiliate?==
{{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?}}
An affiliate would link back to its partner, would it not? As far as I'm concerned only two, or three, of the sites here linkback to the KHWiki. Would someone contact them on this matter, or should I just turn this page into "Kingdom Hearts Wiki: External Links"? '''<font face="Trebuchet MS"><span style="background:#3300CC">[[User:Bluerfn|<span style="color:white"><sup>BLUER</sup></span>]]</span>[[User talk:Bluerfn|<span style="color:#CC0011">一番</span>]]</font>''' 11:06, October 6, 2009 (UTC)
:Seems like there's no motivation on the matter. I'm going ahead and rename this page, plus a few tweaks.

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.

I'll work on the files soon. ^_^ No worries, I'll remove the numbers and perhaps work on a new placeholder for the cards.

== Linking to previously approved affiliate ==
== KH3 Fanon Wiki ==


:This is a continuation from [[/Archive#Requests_for_Affiliaton|this conversation]].
Why have we affiliated with this wiki? The KH3 Fanon Wiki is completely devoid of any activity or improvement to itself, it just sits there collect dust. I am not expected any further enhancement to that wiki, since it has been around since February 2010, and has almost ''nothing'' to show for it. The wiki also does not link back to us, and most certainly '''''does not display qualities of a good database of ''Kingdom Hearts''-relevant information that we are trying to affiliate with'''''. --{{User:DoorToNothing/Sig}} 18:44, July 19, 2010 (UTC)
{{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?
I do think the KH3 Fanon Wiki will soon replicate the Kingdom Hearts Wiki. And it was not my decision to affiliate that Wiki with this one. I will talk to ZTG/TLE...Or, I think it was Trois that decided to affiliate the KH3 Fanon Wiki with this one. --http://i874.photobucket.com/albums/ab305/WarriorsFirestar/FotoFlexer_Photo.jpg'''[[User:SquareEnixRocks|<font color=mediumvioletred>史克威尔</font>]][[User talk:SquareEnixRocks|<font color=black>罗克斯</font>]]'''http://i874.photobucket.com/albums/ab305/WarriorsFirestar/FotoFlexer_Photo-1.jpg 18:58, July 19, 2010 (UTC)
:We certainly aren't seeking a replication for an affiliate, though. What we want is something with the same or a similar subject as the ''Kingdom Hearts'' Wiki, but does have something else to offer viewers when they click that "Related Sites" button. Right now, I see nothing the KH3 Fanon Wiki can offer them, or even the baseline of even one fanon story after its nearly six-month existence. In my opinion, these are obvious signs of a dead wiki. --{{User:DoorToNothing/Sig}} 19:09, July 19, 2010 (UTC)
::I don't see why not. It's a wiki about Kingdom Hearts and thats what matters most in the end. --[[User:Charité|Charité]] 00:01, July 20, 2010 (UTC)
:There are only two users now, but it's too early to decry it. Just like how it initially was for KHF and KHFrancophone. Of course, with KHFrancophone, Unbirth decided to make us affiliates when our to-be third admin, Thomaskh2, came along. Now KH3F may be far from even complete, but the fact remains that they're willing to be on the same subject, and that they've only got two active users. Dead or not, unlike a person, it can be revived. Also, I'm going with BK's decision which was posted in the archives. Even then the wiki was struggling. So I say keep it ! {{User:Troisnyxetienne/Signature}} 00:40, July 20, 2010 (UTC)
Sadly, I agree with DTN here. That wiki is a failed state, with no mainspace, and no attempt to make one whatsoever. I think we should get rid of it. {{KKDSig|1}}

{{TNE|time=08:50, July 25, 2010 (UTC)|text=We did test it out, and when we did there was activity, albeit minimal. If everyone's okay on deleting it, and if we have more than a simple majority, I'm all for removing it. After all...... KHF is still as active as ever.}}
 
== The Kingdom Key: Deaffiliation ==
 
I have recently seen The Kingdom Key after it has gone through its revamp. It is absolutely and in no way a ''Kingdom Kearts'' fansite any longer, or even anything remotely related to ''Kingdom Hearts''. With the consensus of the community, I would like to request the immediate deaffiliation of The Kingdom Key and the ''Kingdom Hearts'' Wiki, since we no longer have anything in common to foster a connection. --{{User:DoorToNothing/Sig}} 18:55, July 19, 2010 (UTC)
:Firstly, I agree as the link doesn't even work and I'm assuming that the site has been taken down. --[[User:Charité|Charité]] 19:09, July 19, 2010 (UTC)
Alright. Time to replace our number 6... I think. ^_^ {{User:Troisnyxetienne/Signature}} 00:40, July 20, 2010 (UTC)
 
EDIT 00:44, July 20, 2010 (UTC) : Wait. From all the placeholder text I see, the site is still under reconstruction. For all you know that placeholder text will be replaced with KH stuff ? As for the tagline, it's not promising, but I recommend we wait until they update their content. The link is indeed working for me. {{User:Troisnyxetienne/Signature}}
:Weird, probaly a connection problem then, but it doesn't look like it's a kingdom hearts fansite anymore. --[[User:Charité|Charité]] 00:46, July 20, 2010 (UTC)
EDIT: ''Up until recently, The Kingdom Key has been a Kingdom Hearts fansite. When our community realized this label no longer reflected our interests, we decided to change and grow rather than die.''
Yup, it's no longer a kingdom hearts fansite. --[[User:Charité|Charité]] 00:48, July 20, 2010 (UTC)
:Okay, de-affiliate. {{User:Troisnyxetienne/Signature}} 00:54, July 20, 2010 (UTC)
 
Yes, I would argee with said course of action.  The first time I found a redirect explaining the move, I notified BK.  Once I saw it "die" to the KH world, I told Kate again.  I believe it should be removed effective immediatly. {{The Inexistentsig}}
 
I agreey with DTN....if the link links to a site that barrly talks of KHthen why be affiliated with it?--[[Special:Contributions/173.53.145.114|173.53.145.114]] 04:12, July 25, 2010 (UTC)

{{DTN|time=21:51, July 31, 2010 (UTC)|text=Thank you, Organization 13. I'm not saying that any of those wikis would be ''bad'' affiliates, but we want to link to wikis that are associated with the subject of our wiki, ''Kingdom Hearts''. Almost every single one of your suggestions is only transitively linked to ''Kingdom Hearts'' through ''Final Fantasy'', which means that the link between subjects like ''Kingdom Hearts'' and ''Dragon Quest'' really just gets lost in that joint connection.
 
On the other hand, Disney Wiki seems like a definitely possible future affiliate, and affiliating with them may help us resolve the issue we have recent had with our... "shared" content. In addition, we should try to reach out to sites other than wikis! Lots of ''Kingdom Hearts'' fan and news sites exist out there. For example, [http://www.khinsider.com/ Kingdom Hearts Insider], [http://www.kh2.co.uk/ Kingdom Hearts Ultimania], and even [http://www.kh-vids.net/ KH-Vids.Net] could all be great affiliates to us. Our only non-wiki affiliate is Heartstation, we should definitely expand on that.}}

{{DTN|time=09:16, December 31, 2010 (UTC)|text=I just went through all of our affiliates to check that they are all linking back to the ''Kingdom Hearts'' Wiki. Shockingly, <s>five</s> <s>four</s> three of them are not displaying the name or link at all.
 
*'''Spanish ''Kingdom Hearts'' Wiki''': Shows no display of us as an affiliate, yet they feature another affiliate, the Disney Wiki, in that space. I cannot find any link to this wiki over there.
 
*<s>'''''Final Fantasy'' Wiki''': This wiki supposedly has an affiliates page, though I cannot find it and it is not displayed on their front page or side bar. If we are linking to them with easy access through our front page, yet they are not providing the link to our wiki, we are not gaining anything from our affiliation.</s>
 
*<s>'''Dead Fantasy Wiki''': This wiki has an affiliates section on their main page... which we are not listed under. This could be a simple mistake, or a request to de-affiliate.</s>
 
*'''KH-Vids.Net''': The last item in the left column on their front page is called "Affiliates" and lists all of theirs--though we are not listed.
 
In addition to this, GrandPyromania only links to us in his videos of his ''Kingdom Hearts'' "Let's Play!", and we are not mentioned anywhere else in his information. Our other YouTube affiliate links to us in their information box, which is a bit more convenient. Should we take action on this, or just let it fly since there is some form of linking (though it is small and diminutive)?
 
I suggest we contact these sites and allow a few weeks to a month to allow for them to add us to an affiliates listing or section. If this is not met, we have no choice but to end our affiliation.}}
 
{{17m|text= I agree that we use diplomacy. Ask them the problem, ask them to put our link, if they refuse, cut off the affiliation. Simple as that.}}

Never mind, they do display it on their front page. It isn't very clear, but it is at the bottom of the page and uses the Wikia Gaming box, so that's why I missed. Sorry for the confusion.}}
{{DTN|time=00:54, January 9, 2011 (UTC)|text=Okay, the Dead Fantasy Wiki has acknowledged our request and added us to their affiliates box on their front page.

== What IS an affiliate anyway? ==
 
{{LA|Vtext=I'm confused as to what an affiliate actually is. Is it a wiki or site that links to us in their content, or is it like a website friendlist?
 
I just don't really understand why we have the Spyro Wiki as an affiliate. I mean, there isn't much you can relate between Spyro and Kingdom Hearts besides the fact that they're both fantasy video games and they're both awesome. It seems like Spyro Wiki would work more like an ''accomplice'', not what I understand a true affiliate is. As for the YouTube accounts, pretty much the same point.}}
{{DTN|time=01:43, January 10, 2011 (UTC)|text=An affiliate is any wiki, site, or organization that has decided to link back to the ''Kingdom Hearts'' Wiki as a sign of partnership. Most of our affiliates we have due to our related topics. It is not exacatly a friendlist, since we hardly interact with many of our affiliates, nor do they. Affiliation is basically a beneficial partnership to both sites to spread a link to their site to another popular site.
 
The concern about Spyro Wiki has been raised before, but I think it was "settled" by TNE <!--(or maybe it was someone else, but TNE is the only one I remember involved in this)-->jumping the gun and adding the wiki to our affiliates list. YouTube accounts seem fine to me since those YouTube channels contain "Let's Play"s of ''Kingdom Hearts'', which is the reason we are affiliated with them.}}

I'm fine with affiliating with all of the above sites, so long as they link back to us in a clear location, not on some hard-to-find affiliates page. For example, we post our affiliates page on the front page, and a list of affiliates may be there after the main page remodel.}}

Next try. We want you to affiliate with us. We'd do this immediately, but we need a picture which is representing this wiki. There shouldn't be a problem to be partners, I'm I right? Nevertheless I got a question.. where can I see a list of all your affiliations? The project page didn't named a single one to me, also the mainpage doesn't show any. [[User:Sum2k3|Sum2k3]] 04:03, 20 March 2011 (EDT)
 
:To see our affiliates, look at the "interaction" sidebar at the left of the page and click "Affiliates".  I can't speak for all the staff and other users on this wiki, but it sounds fine to me. --[[File:Xigbar's Replica Data KHIIFM.png|15px]][[User:As_if!|<font face="Jazz LET" color="blueviolet" size=3>AS</font face>]] [[User_talk:As_if!|<font face="Jazz LET" color="grey" size=3>IF!</font face>]][[File:Xigbar's Replica Data KHIIFM.png|15px]] 09:34, 20 March 2011 (EDT)
 
Thanks. But we need something more approval. Also we need a picture for the partnership. ..somehow I missed to link to our page, whatever. [http://de.kingdomhearts.wikia.com/wiki/Kingdom_Hearts_Wiki here] is the link to our mainpage ..if you want to, you may take a peek. :) (I'm sure not many of you may read german.. no problem^^ ..as you can see, my English isn't the best either xD) as you can see our partners are linked with a picture, that's why we need something there.

==French Kingdom Hearts Wiki==
{{unbirthtalk|text=Well, I think we'll be affiliated to you. You're the actual KH wiki, even if you're not using Wikia anymore, and the wikia one will probably get kinda... bad without the all of you around, so it sounds pretty obvious to me.<br>I'm just wondering, what will we do about the "languages" links on our pages ? Is there any way to make them link to this wiki's pages ?}}
{{bud0011|time=[[User:Bud0011|Bud0011]] 18:13, 20 March 2011 (EDT)|text=That depends. Do you guys have access to your [[mw:Manual:Interwiki_table|interwiki tables]]?}}
 
As I can tell, interwiki still works. We (german Wiki) are still using them and get linked to this wiki.[[User:Sum2k3|Sum2k3]] 06:27, 22 March 2011 (EDT)
{{bud0011|time=[[User:Bud0011|Bud0011]] 16:40, 22 March 2011 (EDT)|text=Sorry. My question wasn't about if they work. Mine was, wether or not they had access to it. <br />
If they do, then they can change it to link to here instead of wikia, And all the links should convert over.
<br />
I Believe. *lol*}}
{{unbirthtalk|text=Well, i'm not sure of where those are...}}
{{Bud0011|time=[[User:Bud0011|Bud0011]] 01:30, 26 March 2011 (EDT)|text=The interwiki table is where you store the information that is used when you want to link to an external site like you would an internal wiki page.
 
for instance:
<pre>[[wikipedia:Kingdom Hearts|a link to Wikipedia's Kingdom Hearts article]]</pre>
 
gives you
 
[[wikipedia:Kingdom Hearts|a link to Wikipedia's Kingdom Hearts article]].
 
The text <tt>wikipedia:</tt> tell the software you want to link to wikipedia instead of an internal article. The software then looks up Wikipedia's address (called a URL) in the interwiki table and uses it as the base for the URL. The rest of the address comes form what is after the colon (:), which in this case is <tt>Kingdom Hearts</tt>
<br />
I hope this helped explain it a little. IF note, please don't Hesitate to ask questions.


Although... I am not sure it fits, style wise... *lol*.  
Edit: Also, do you know if your wiki has [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SpecialInterwiki the interwiki extension] installed? if you don't know how to check, please go to the page called "Special:Version" on your wiki. If it is installed, it should show up under the "Special pages" section. I can provide an example, if you request it.

{{TNE|time=06:31, 31 March 2011 (EDT)|text=Question: How are we going to style the Affiliates page?
Is it going to be...
*like the previous Affiliates page, with cards and images,
*a list of links,
*a list of website buttons, links and descriptions?
Does anyone have any ideas?}}
{{DTN|time=18:59, 2 April 2011 (EDT)|text=Avatar Parts Avatar Parts Avatar Parts Avatar Parts Avatar Parts Avatar Parts. That's my idea.
I also like your third idea of including a little more detail on our affiliates.}}
{{TNE|time=19:02, 2 April 2011 (EDT)|shocktext=Avatar parts eh? Wait, if we're gonna throw in the detail, how do we throw in the avatar parts? *confused*}}
{{Asif|sho=DTN, although I like your idea, we already used avatars for the IRC Staff.  In order to keep it original, how about giving each affiliate a world icon?  Kinda makes sense, considering that this is like linking our world to all the others- just like in Kingdom Hearts!


== FFWiki ==
And I like the idea of adding descriptions as well.}}
{{DTN|time=19:28, 2 April 2011 (EDT)|text=...Or we could use Avatar Parts again. There are 800+ parts, and we only had ''ten'' channel operators. I'm not entirely opposed to world icons, but this seems more original.


{{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. >_>}}
If you choose to use Avatar Parts, TNE, you just have to make a layer for each "part" of the avatar, place them appropriately, and then flatten. Of course, there are other ideas as well.}}
{{TNE|time=19:53, 2 April 2011 (EDT)|text=I'd better visualise how all those ideas are going to look on the page... If we use avvie parts, I am not sure if we're gonna use the full body, or just the faces, or something in part. Or, if we're gonna use our affiliates' HTML buttons, I don't want to rip off what WiKirby did. It's going to be a change from the Wikia version, that's for sure.}}


==Ratchetpedia==
==Now What?==
{{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.
{{Asif|sho=Alright, it's officially April 16, the day after all our affiliates were supposed to link back here.  Now what do we do?}}
{{TNE|time=16:01, 16 April 2011 (EDT)|text=I need to clarify with Kryten and the rest, but I believe those who haven't linked back to us by this day will have their names erased, and will be placed back here once they link to us.


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.}}
On a side note... THE DESIGN!}}
{{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.

==Affiliating with Podcasts?==
Hey there, I am going to be starting a video walkthrough of Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep and wanted to add you guys as affiliates. I would be linking you in the description of each video as well as adding your YouTube Page (if you have one) to the affiliates channel box on my channel page. Are you folks interested?
:Could you please provide a channel name? If you could allow us to check our your channel, we would certainly take an interest in an affiliation. --{{User:DoorToNothing/Sig}} 01:12, 24 May 2011 (EDT)


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)
http://youtube.com/goddammitjoel <- There you can find a link to my channel.
: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! ==
So does the affiliation sound good or are you still deciding. My apologies if this comes off as impatient ^^'
:I looked at one of your KH videos, and a few of our users might have an issue with the cussing. I don't know, it might be appropriate for a forum.{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 00:10, 13 June 2011 (EDT)


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)
==The Avatar Parts issue==
: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)
Now, I'm working on the Avatar Parts bit for the Affiliates page, but I'm not sure — is mixing and matching okay? I'm starting with KHFR at this point, and it isn't ''entirely'' Dark Riku... It's Dark Riku with Xehanort's pants (because I couldn't find anything else to match it) and Tidus' boots!

::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)
:As long as it seems appropriate for the affiliate, it should be fine. Plus, Avatar Parts encourages mixing and matching, so there shouldn't be anything wrong with that in concept. --{{User:DoorToNothing/Sig}} 15:18, 21 June 2011 (EDT)
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)
Okay. Finished four thus far.

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)
