== Mysterious Tower Battle Music BBS ==

Can Anyone Post the batte music "Working Together" From Birth By Sleep? Not the Kingdom Hearts II Version.

== No KH3, fansites mistranslated again: ==

'''''Game Informer'' 207''';
*'''Bryan Vore''': "Translations of your interview in the ''Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep Ultimania'' seem to confirm that Kingdom Hearts III is coming along with two other games."
*'''Tetsuya Nomura''': "Kingdom Hearts III is not a confirmed titles. I actually phrased my answer for the Ultimania "two titles other than III" to avoid speculation that we were working on Kingdom Hearts III."
*'''Bryan Vore''': "Are there any hints you can provide about these games?"
*'''Tetsuya Nomura''': "Hints would give away too much, and for Kingdom Hearts we're contractually obligated to keep any information that has not been officially released under wraps. However, I can say one of the two projects mentioned above came into existence because we wanted to do something for the North American fans, so we'll be announcing it at E3."

==RE: your galleries==
I notice at:

http://kingdomhearts.wikia.com/wiki/Sora#Forms/Costumes

The galleries are normal. As you may or may not know, they really messed up the galleries, causing a lot of frustration and anger. See:

http://community.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Sarah_Manley/Design_your_own_photo_galleries

An editor wrote:

:I checked with the custom CSSs and KHWiki do not have one. Everyone else who's dissatisfied can check and see one of the example pages, because Wikia seems to have overlook this.

:I wish to highlight that one of the Wikis, the Kingdom Hearts Wiki apparently managed to keep their old Wikipedia-style Gallery intact. How can they not be affected?

So how did you all doe this ? I would be dying to know because I despise the new galleries too. Please message me on my talk page with a response, or let me know when you responded here. Thank you. [[User:Anno1404|Anno1404]] 01:01, July 25, 2010 (UTC)

==Command Board updating==
Yeah guys, all of the Heartless contained in the box have been updated accordingly.  They need to be replaced with more articles in need of repair.  I wasn't sure if I was allowed to do this without a staff member... so... yeah.  Have fun.  {{The Inexistentsig}}

==Question==
Now that KHW has a YT page, should we link it to the main page ? Also bringing up the reminder about the Facebook group — it'd be great if we could edit just that section of the main page. <sup>'''[[User:Troisnyxetienne|<font color="#8B0000">Tambours</font>]]'''</sup><sub>'''[[User talk:Troisnyxetienne|<font color="#B8860B">Tonnerre</font>]]'''</sub> '''[[User:Troisnyxetienne/Mensa|<font color="#000000">Ensemble !</font>]]''' 08:11, 10 February 2011 (EST)

==News==
I think our breaking off from Wikia has earned a mention on the news section on thi Wiki and the Wikia one. There should also definitely be a link on the Wikia-Wiki to this address. If we want thisWiki to get more traffic we need it to be more prominent on the original location.{{User:LapisScarab/Sig}}15:30, 12 February 2011 (EST)
:I didn't notice the move until now. Until today, I thought that this wiki still was based on Wikia, and I see that several people have been editing there, possibly not knowing anything about the move. Wouldn't there be some way to get people to find this site from the old Wikia site?
:For example, you could copy new sections of certain important articles from this site to the Wikia site. According to the Creative Commons licence, this requires attribution of the source of the relevant section (with a link to a page where the article history can be located), so you get a reason to include a link to this site. This link would have to go to the corresponding article on this site, so contributors might notice that the formulations are almost the same, realising that this is where to look instead.
:It would also be nice if this would get people to go away from that annoying Wikia site. I had to add a bookmark to my bookmark toolbar appending '?useskin=monobook' (or '&useskin=monobook' depending on the URL) to the current data in the location bar just in order to read that site! --[[Special:Contributions/212.247.11.156|212.247.11.156]] 23:07, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
::We actually can't advertise this site on the wikia site, as the people who own the wikia site (wikia) would erase that and ban anyone who put it up. The most we can do is put links to this site on the userpages of the people who've left the old site, which we've done.
::Copying the content over to the old site would just make the old site easier to find on google, because of how it's algorithms work. On the long haul, it's better for us to just keep making high-quality, unique content so that we appear higher on google searches.

Now that the Nominations are up and running and the Battle Box vote has started, shouldn't we post a link to them on the main page? {{User:As_if!/Autosig}} 15:57, 12 February 2011 (EST)

==Interviews==
So, mainly spurred by EnglishJoker going around checking our unsourced statements, I went through KHInsider's archives and got links to every interview I could find (excluding a few repetitive ones). I figure it's easier to have a shortlist here rather than having to do this every time we need a source. Most involve fluff we already know now or development things, but I have them for the sake of completedness. So... here:

'''"The Birth of Kingdom Hearts"'''
[http://www.khinsider.com/content/view/363/1/]
*Very brief interview with some information about when Nomura began development on the KH concept. 
'''The Birth by sleep ending video'''
[http://www.khinsider.com/content/view/388/1/]
*Wide variety of information, mostly relating to the secret ending video of KHIIFM, and the then-recently named characters; Terra, Aqua, and Ven. 
'''The tone of the Kingdom Hearts series'''
[http://www.khinsider.com/content/view/446/1/]
*Again, only a very brief mention of KH, but Nomura notes the difference in tone between KH and FF (the latter is darker than the former), and may indicate the somewhat darker tone Days and BBS took.
'''The side stories of Kingdom Hearts'''
[http://www.khinsider.com/content/view/450/1/]
*Generally nothing new except for some tidbits of developmental information, except for one part where Nomura describes the then-untold “side stories” that don’t focus on Sora, including the BBS video, Mickey finding the Kingdom Key D, Roxas’ life, and Riku activity during Sora’s slumber.
'''Days, coded, and BBS, post-reveal'''
[http://www.khinsider.com/content/view/507/1/]
[http://www.khinsider.com/content/view/508/1/]
*Simple interviews with Nomura not long after BBS, Days, and coded were revealed. 
'''Nomura talks Kingdom Hearts'''
[http://www.khinsider.com/content/view/514/1/]
*General stuff about the series, particularly BBS, coded, and Days.
'''Days and coded gameplay'''

*A brief interview discussing some gameplay for Days and coded.
'''BBS, Days, and coded'''
[http://www.khinsider.com/content/view/526/1/]
*Three sizeable interviews about BBS, Days, and coded, covering a wide array of topics about them.
'''More BBS, Days, and coded'''
[http://www.khinsider.com/content/view/677/1/]
*A bit less info than the above interviews, but Nomura talks about the “Unbirths” and seems to make a direct reference to the “born” part of their names. Weird. 
'''Tidbits of BBS, Days, and coded'''
[http://www.khinsider.com/content/view/683/1/]
*Tiny interviews about the three games.
'''BBS, Days, and coded, take two'''
[http://www.khinsider.com/component/option,com_frontpage/Itemid,1/limit,5/limitstart,695/]
*Contains another set of fairly large interviews about the games.

*Contains part of an interview with Nomura and Hasagawa about the development of Days.
'''Long gameplay… interview?'''
[http://www.khinsider.com/content/view/843/1/]
*Contains a long bit of info about Days’ gameplay. KHInsider says it’s an interview, but either they’re talking about the link to Heartstation I’m too lazy to follow or I’m just not seeing the interview part. Including it for safety.
'''Long, missing Ultimania interviews'''
[http://www.khinsider.com/days/ultimania-interview.html]
[http://www.khinsider.com/days-ultimania/358-2-days-scenario-interview.html]
*Should contain a long interview about BBS and coded, but the links display 404 errors. 
'''How coded connects'''
[http://www.khinsider.com/component/option,com_frontpage/Itemid,1/limit,5/limitstart,560/]

*Two developers, a rare interview devoid of Nomura, discuss the development of BBS.
'''Post-BBS interview'''
[http://www.khinsider.com/content/view/1337/1/]
*Nomura talks about the steps leading up to KHIII and hints at another game after BBS and coded, and ends by making me want to throw rocks at him for not telling us anything.
'''Massive BBS interview'''

::Calm down, ENX. We're all friends here.

:::Part of what attracts me to the Xehanorts is that I haven't seen these renders a million times before. There's uniqueness to it, because most people don't have access to unofficial renders. Also, the pictures of Sora and Riku feel much too static. They just stand there, not doing anything; at the very least we could use their fighting poses. {{User:LightRoxas/Sig}} 20:42, 15 April 2012 (UTC)
I'm not saying the render of Xehanort holding the heart isn't cool. It was excellently made. It's just not ''official'', and we promote the usage of ''official'' material here. It's been our policy to ''always'' use official images if we have them before turning to fan-made ones; this has always been the case with articles, and I see no reason why it should not hold true here. I guess I'm just against the random usage of Terranort, when you get right down to it. I don't see any logic behind it other than the fact that he's posed the same way Xehanort is. Personally, I'd prefer to maintain the ''KH3D'' theme or just leave Apprentice Xehanort on there alone without Terranort or a second character. For those interested in what it would look like, here's a model of the Wiki's main page using Sora and Riku's battle poses:

*[http://s1177.photobucket.com/albums/x344/TheFinalFantasyXD/?action=view&current=KHWikiMainPage4.png Click Me]

Honestly, I quite like the way this looks. But here's another idea: Since the current Wiki-theme is emphasizing the Square-created characters so heavily and there's no way to persuade me to not fight against the usage of the Xehanort images, why not just use a Disney character, like Mickey or Yen Sid, who is still relevant but belongs to neither category? Even a plain old Moogle would suffice... We seem to be using these images simply because they're "unique" in comparison to the same, dry, official ones, why not just use characters who would stand out against the surplus of Square's? - {{User:EternalNothingnessXIII/Sig}} 00:49, 16 April 2012 (UTC)
:At least in my view, the reason these two are most appropriate is:
#Unlike the other suggestions, these characters are posed to  ''specifically highlight and draw attention to the welcome notice''. They point the viewer to it, rather than just being fluff for hte sake of fluff.
#It creates some parity for the already heavily protagonist-based layout.
#Without getting into too many spoilers, the current game (and saga) revolves almost totally around these characters and their actions. If we could replace Terra-Xehanort with Young Xehanort in a similar pose, that would be slightly more ideal.
#Using these images instead of Disney or Final Fantasy images highlights the franchise's ever-increasing focus on its own content and characters in favor of just crossovers, and on a second level, highlights our own community's amazing efforts and creations.
#Although we have a policy of using official material on the articles, ''this is not one of the articles''. This is ''our main page'', whose primary purpose is to serve as ''our'' face and advertisement, to both direct readers to the articles and to, well, peacock. That's why half the page is various "featured" sections.

ENX, I certainly understand if you don't like the specific layout, characters used, poses, anything ''aesthetic'' about it, but I don't think that the issue of them being unofficial is truly a fault in this context.{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 03:52, 16 April 2012 (UTC)
::Let me respond to your words accordingly:

*Using two images really squeezes the text of the welcome notice in a way I find discomforting. I see no reason to keep Terra-Xehanort if I'm forced to live with Xehanort, but Young Xehanort cannot be added as a replacement to Terra-Xehanort, or else one of the images would be pointing ''away'' from the welcome notice, due to the way both characters are facing the left side of the page. I see no reason why we could not just use Young Xehanort, since we could say he's holding his hand out "towards the welcome notice," and it's offical material. Not to mention it'd loosen up the text in the welcome notice a bit. Right now, the images we're using may as well just be fluff used simply because they're fluff on the grounds that they're not official. Not to mention the poses are rather corny in my opinion.
*I never agreed with the Wiki's merging Xehanort and Terra-Xehanort together with Terra-Xehanort being the main article (may be the source of some of my discomfort in terms of this). I saw the logic behind it, but I never supported/agreed with it, the same way I never supported/agreed with changing "Xehanort's Heartless" to "Ansem, Seeker of Darkness" or "Lingering Sentiment" to "Lingering Will." But I digress. The point is, I'm very unhappy with the usage of Terra-Xehanort, since that was only a ''Birth by Sleep''-relevant character. If you want something that applies to the whole series, than we may as well use characters who ''appear'' in the whole series or change the Wiki-theme to be relevant to the entire series rather than a single game. Thus I still suggest using the Young Xehanort render alone. This way, he's relevant to the Wiki-theme ''and'' still serves the same purpose as the Terra-Xehanort and Xehanort renders. 
*Young Xehanort is, in essence, the main antagonist of ''KH3D'', thus it would emphasize him as such. The fact he's an antagonist in and of himself contrasts the protagonist-heavy Wiki-theme, which, may I point out, uses ''KH3D'' ''protagonists''! I've always been big on consistency, especially in terms of aesthetics, so using Young Xehanort would really ease my present discomfort, and it serves as a fair compromise in my opinion.
*Young Xehanort, again, accomplishes the same things alone as the two Xehanort renders: he emphasizes "the series' ever-increasing focus on its own content." I in no way deny that the community is skilled and creative, but you're basically saying we're all in favor of using fanart, which is all these renders are. I could see the Keyhole doing something like this, but since this is a more official site where we emphasize the official content and enforce its usage so heavily, this creates a discomforting contradiction. A user page is where the community's skill and creativity should be featured, and no where else. Not to mention using the main page to emphasize the community's more creative side and "skill" strikes me as a bit snobbish and conceited. 
*True, this is not one of the articles, but the main page is the "first impression" our readers/visitors get of our site. We want to "advertise" that we're serious about the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series and promise reliable, ''official'' content right from the very get-go. The usage of these images contradicts everything we stand for in my opinion, and quite honestly, I wouldn't want to delve deeper into a site that is so unprofessional with its images and how they're handled. You may as well cover the entire main page in fanart and unofficial content. I'm not buying your "various featured sections" argument, either, simply on the grounds that we use these sections to "advertise" ''official'' content, for the most part.

::Y'know, maggosh, we could simply mirror Young Xehanort's image... {{User:Erry/Sig}} 19:04, 16 April 2012 (UTC)
*ENX, the main page is already defined by our community creating a window into the KH universe. It's a simple fact that Square Enix hasn't produced a ton of "official art/text/coding for introducing the series to readers of a wiki", so a lot of creating that window is our own work (and seriously, it is ''really'' stretching it to call these fanart). We can't advertise that we're serious about the work if all we're doing is reposting the text and images from the games, instead of organizing them into some legible, cohesive body.
*"Fluff" and "unofficial" are completely unrelated. As I said earlier, these images have a very specific purpose: ''they point the reader's eye towards the welcome message''. They are not simply there for decoration. You're trying to say that, basically, a turn lane sign is equivalent to the flowers by the side of the road.
*I totally agree with a Young Xehanort image, if we can produce one that has the same "traffic sign" function (cloaked or uncloaked). As for the relevance of these Xehanort images...I didn't want to spoil KH3D too much, but it's a 99% chance these "two" characters showed up in KH3D, and in the end the game is explicitly about "forms of Xehanort".[[Special:Contributions/192.249.47.177|192.249.47.177]] 19:36, 16 April 2012 (UTC)
For God's sake, why do we need the images in the first place?! Aesthetically speaking, they're an eyesore, and we've gotten by for so long without them that it hardly seems necessary to add them. 

*While the renders may come directly from the coding of a Square Enix game, they are the work of one user, and one user only, a ''fan-created'' rendition of offical material. It's not the work of the community. Again, it's something a user would host on his or her page and say "Look what I made!" Sounds like fanart to me. Flaunting our "community"'s skill comes across as snobbish and conceited, a bad first impression of our Wiki on the so-called audience you seem to think these images are capable of attracting. Using what Square has provided for us (you really think they give a damn about a Wiki?) is not simply "copy/pasting" it. It's using it to our advantage. The point is, we're the unofficial "official" ''Kingdom Hearts'' Wiki. Ergo, it makes more sense to emphasize the usage of official material.
*My standpoint on the situation is simply this: Unless you ''know'' that the images are intended to draw one's attention to the welcome notice, they may as well ''be'' fluff added just for decorative purposes. The "turn lane sign and flowers by the side of the road" ''are'' the same when all the flowers do is make the turn lane sign look nice. If you actually want to emphasize the turn lane sign, then change the bloody sign itself! Don't just plant more flowers, because that's what sticks out. The flowers. Not the sign. Thus the images are fluff, and unofficial fluff at that (that's why I said I'd prefer official fluff over unofficial). Honestly, how many times do you see a "Welcome to <insert town name here>" sign and say "Ooo, what a pretty sign?" Plain and simple: You ''don't''! You compliment the pretty flowers or shrubbery growing ''around'' the sign, if you don't completely ignore the sign altogether, which most people do. The images have and adverse effect, at least for me: they draw all my attention to themselves, and not the welcome notice as intended.  
*There is no appearance of Terra-Xehanort at all in ''KH3D'', and the most you ever see of Xehanort is his hand. If you're trying to suggest relevance to ''KH3D'' and the whole "forms of Xehanort" thing without spoiling the game, then use forms with more prominence, like Ansem and Xemnas, as I suggested. If you must used a posed T-render, I see no reason why one could not be produced.  

And that's that. Tune in next week when "Battle of the Main Page Xehanort Renders" continues >_> - {{User:EternalNothingnessXIII/Sig}} 22:16, 16 April 2012 (UTC)

1.   I'd say that there's a large difference between making a work of art from scratch and taking resources from in-game and posing them using a pose from in-game. The renders are basically just a fancy way of photoshopping a character out of the game. Regarding the crack about the "community", while the renders are not the work of the whole community, it shows that the wiki has a diverse collection of editors with a wide variety of skills. Aren't we ''supposed'' to flaunt the resources that we have, and the quality of our wiki? That's what makes people want to read it.

2.   ...yes, it's for decorative purposes. It draws attention, plain and simple. If I could put myself in the mind of an average wiki reader, I'd look at the images first, then look at what they're pointing at. Honestly, the average reader wouldn't even take the time to care about what's in-between the images. There's really nothing in there that's beneficial to a reader. 

3.   Impartial to this, I'm fine with the images we have now, but I'm also okay with the Sora and Riku battle poses, Xemnas and Ansem, and the Dream Eaters.

Again, some of your argument I'm a little unclear on. The whole point of the thing is to draw attention to the middle, I wouldn't say it's detracting any of it.}}

I hate to be the one pointing this out, but I believe that the reason behind them being an "eyesore" to you, ENX, is due to your small screen resolution and web browser.  IE improperly wraps the text, based upon the images provided.  Even in my strange screen resolution (1366x786), the main page looks quite good.

{{LightRoxas|groose=I fail to see this as an issue of this gargantuan size. They're just bloody renders.

I'm all for using official renders, provided they can bring attention to the text/logo/whatever we choose to have in the middle. If we can't find images of sufficient quality, there should be no problem with bringing in unofficial models.
*Erry, I like it. I do agree that the white space seems like a bit too much; perhaps you could shrink the KHWiki logo and fit it up higher? Also, I like the idea of an antagonist version. If we really wanted to be dynamic, we could even have it be a random draw between a variety of these sets of images, so as to give a different feel every time you visit the site. That might be more work than anyone wants to do, though.}}

I just wish there was a way to move the "Featured" sections down without totally destroying the page so we could get Sora to the right far enough where we could fight "Kingdom Hearts Wiki" between him and Riku (so they're framing the logo), and then have the welcome notice directly beneath the images.
