KHWiki:Project Merchandise

KeybladeSpyMaster - I'm back in the game! TALK - - Running executable! - 02:03 AM Mon, December 18, 2017 MDT CODE 0xSF1-JHAO0018: SYSTEM UPDATE Yay, more projects! Actually, this is probably the only other main project I'm thinking we should focus on for now as a site. So this one's pretty straight forward: We need to catch up on all the merchandise released by Disney, this year especially. Here's the list of what to do: Identify all the merchandise released this year. I've got a running list here for links and stuff so we can than turn those into articles. I've only gone back half-way through November, so we still have a ways to go. So we need help combing through sites like KH13 and KHinsider (which have done an excellent job at documenting it all) and list all the merch there here. I'll be moving my list to a forum in the coming days so that it's more public. Create a format for how to document merchandise. This is not currently covered in the Manual of Style (despite me being pretty sure I added it over the summer), and there really isn't a consensus beyond the soundtrack albums and books, largely because before this year, the only other merch coming out was occasional figurine sets. So, what do we actually want to cover in merch articles? Should that format change for different merch (i.e. S.H. Figuarts vs. KH plushies vs. KH bedding)? Also, how do we determine when to create new articles? Is it by set of items, by company, or article for each separate item (i.e. a page for Pop! Disney: Kingdom Hearts - Mickey, Pop! Disney: Kingdom Hearts, or Funko) ? Actually create each article as necessary.

I would love to help with this project if I could. I have a fairly comprehensive list of merchandise without much documentation that we could integrate too. ThereArentSteps (talk) 22:43, 18 December 2017 (UTC)

That'd be perfect! We'd need to make sure all the merch is licensed by Disney, but if it is, we'd be more than happy to integrate it. KeybladeSpyMaster 06:56, 19 December 2017 (UTC)

Alright, cool! Here's the list. It's meant to be comprehensive so there's quite a bit of the newer stuff mixed in, and not everything has the official names, but I hope it can be of some help. ThereArentSteps (talk) 22:27, 20 December 2017 (UTC)

This is excellent! Exactly what we needed! Thanks so much!

For a format, here's what I'm thinking: Intro ("XUZ is a KH-themed clock by Keytech Incorporated"), Design (Describe the physical appearance of the product), and Release (Details about the announcement, development details [if known and available], and release date/distribution details). This means each item gets its own article. What do you all think? KeybladeSpyMaster 01:32, 22 December 2017 (UTC)
