KHWiki talk:Affiliates

Applying for Affiliation

Bluer says at 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. On a side note, the Square Wiki wishes to affiliate with KHWiki, kupo. We're already linking to the KHWiki at our main page,

Got it. Lucky you notified me... (and tomorrow I've got an exam paper at 9 in the morning, phew !). I think I'll need someone to take care of the PowerPoint card template for me during my 3-month absence. Anyone whom I should send it to ? ETA : I sent the file to BebopKate for safekeeping. Gotta rush back to my books now. See you soon ! Today you will be examined for the Mark of Mastery. • TroisNyxÉtienne

Kingdom Key

I'd like to inform everyone that our affiliate the Kingdom Key has changed their domain from IGN to here. That is all. ^BLUER一番 15:43, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Bluer says at 04:27, 1 September 2009 (UTC) TKK is asking if we have an image that can be used to represent our site in their affiliates page, kupo! Anyone would like to suggest one? It's for the button to our site,

Ultima - Cake and grief counseling will be available at the conclusion of the test. How Bout This? -07:05, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

Affiliate?

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"? ^BLUER一番 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. ^BLUER一番 08:16, October 10, 2009 (UTC)

Wokay... Instead of 1 to 6, we only have 2, 4, 5 and 6 !

I guess we'll have to leave the remaining spaces for newer affiliates then ? TNÉ _{En avant Bravo !} 12:35, October 10, 2009 (UTC)

You did them, didn't you? Awh, sorry. You could always upload a new file that removes the numbers. The numbers aren't necessary, I think. ^BLUER一番 16:58, October 13, 2009 (UTC)

I'll work on the files soon. ^_^ No worries, I'll remove the numbers and perhaps work on a new placeholder for the cards. TNÉ _{En avant Bravo !} 21:31, October 13, 2009 (UTC)

KHES

Now I know I'm not in the position to speak for them, but Auror Andrachrome has been asking me if the Spanish KHW could be affiliated with us. They're asking for the same on KHFR. Up to you guys. ^_^ Helping others always comes before asking others for help. • TroisNyxÉtienne — 01:20, May 26, 2010 (UTC)

DoorToNothing — I dreamed last night... I got on the boat to Heaven! And by some chance, I had brought my dice along! — 04:26, May 26, 2010 (UTC) I most certainly do not see why not; I have browsed the Spanish Kingdom Hearts Wiki several times since I really should use some of my Spanish knowledge over there, and it seems like a prospering wiki. Could you prepare another image, Troisnyxetienne?

Alright ! One more coming up ! I think we'll need a new row. I'm as good as new! All my functions have been restored! • TroisNyxÉtienne — 04:28, May 26, 2010 (UTC)

Dead Fantasy Wiki

Organization 13 - If only the whispers at the top of the ladder carried to the bottom rung... TALK - Parley! Couldn't we ask the http://deadfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Dead_Fantasy_Wiki to affiliate with us since it has Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy in it and the wiki is doing rather well? The Final Fantsy Wiki is affiliated with them too.

DoorToNothing — I dreamed last night... I got on the boat to Heaven! And by some chance, I had brought my dice along! — 18:56, July 19, 2010 (UTC) I offered them an affiliation here, hopefully they will reply quickly.

Dan - Hakuna Matata! What a wonderful phrase! ♫ — 11:38, July 22, 2010 (UTC) The image needs some tweaking, but I think the Affiliate card should look something like this maybe?

Organization 13 - Looks like my summer vacation... TALK - ...Is over. Looks good to me.

KH3 Fanon Wiki

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. --^DTN 18:44, July 19, 2010 (UTC)

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. --史克威尔罗克斯 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. --^DTN 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. --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 ! TROISNYX AMDG 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. KKD

Dead wikis are dead. I agree with Doorsey. --SilverCrono 04:09, July 25, 2010 (UTC)

Falcos - You've done it, Ventus. TALK - Now that my body is about to perish... You and I will have to join together! I personally don't think we should be affiliated with ANY fanon wiki... But a dead one? If it's dead, then deaffiliate it. If it happens to become active again later, then you can reaffiliate, if you like. You shouldn't stay affiliated with a site that is inactive.

LegoAlchemist - They changed "Snipe Magnet" to "Magnet Grab"? Who's translating this game, 4kids? TALK - Friendships are in direct contravention of mercenary conduct as delineated in your contracts, and on a personal note: I am very, very, disappointed with you. We have one official Fanon Wiki. Let's leave it at that. We don't need the 3 Fanon on the affiliates list. I'm an admin there, and agree with the removal. Light 'em up.

Agree with DTN here. Wiki is dead, deaffiliate it. BlackSoulBlade 04:15, July 25, 2010 (UTC)

maggosh What's a Keyblade, anyway? — "Third Rate Gamer on a Kingdom Hearts related wiki?" "Didn't they test this talkbubble out before they released it?" Didn't you test this affiliation out before you released it?

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. Helping others always comes before asking others for help. • TroisNyxÉtienne — 08:50, July 25, 2010 (UTC)

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. --^DTN 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. --Charité 19:09, July 19, 2010 (UTC)

Alright. Time to replace our number 6... I think. ^_^ TROISNYX AMDG 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. TROISNYX AMDG

Weird, probaly a connection problem then, but it doesn't look like it's a kingdom hearts fansite anymore. --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. --Charité 00:48, July 20, 2010 (UTC)

Okay, de-affiliate. TROISNYX AMDG 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. KRCCFNF is tired of being STEPPED ON.

I agreey with DTN....if the link links to a site that barrly talks of KHthen why be affiliated with it?--173.53.145.114 04:12, July 25, 2010 (UTC)

Card Numbers

Should I restructure them all over again ? TROISNYX AMDG 11:16, July 20, 2010 (UTC)

If it's no trouble, of course. ^BLUER一番 12:28, July 20, 2010 (UTC)

Okay. After Project Talksprite today, I'll get hold of the cards. TROISNYX AMDG 12:33, July 20, 2010 (UTC)

Any progress with the cards? Organization13 11:17, July 31, 2010 (UTC)

Mmmm..... I'm gonna do a quick reshuffle and save at least three today. When I do that, I must put a big UNDER RECONSTRUCTION note on the page proper. TROISNYX AMDG 11:37, July 31, 2010 (UTC)

Other Possible Affiliates

Organization 13 - I'd rather we just skip the formalities. TALK - How I love a game! Other possible sites we could ask to affiliate with us: Dragon Quest Wiki Wikia Gaming Hub Star Ocean Wiki The Chrono Wiki Dead or Alive Wiki The World Ends With You Wiki The Disney Wiki

DoorToNothing — I dreamed last night... I got on the boat to Heaven! And by some chance, I had brought my dice along! — 21:51, July 31, 2010 (UTC) 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, Kingdom Hearts Insider, Kingdom Hearts Ultimania, and even KH-Vids.Net could all be great affiliates to us. Our only non-wiki affiliate is Heartstation, we should definitely expand on that.

Bluer says at 23:53, July 31, 2010 (UTC) We are already linked to the Wikia Gaming Hub - heck, we are under it, kupo! I agree on the Wikis made for Square Enix games, as that makes us part of the SE family, kupo. Also thumbs up to the affiliation with the Disney Wiki. As for Dead or Alive... no,

KHMedia Affiliation

Hey, I'm a staff member of a site called Kingdom Hearts Media, and I was wondering if we could affiliate with the KH Wikia. Here's the link:

www.kingdomheartsmedia.com -DaDarkDude

I'm good with it.Glorious CHAOS! 21:19, August 3, 2010 (UTC)

Agreeable. We wait for you to link back to our site, and we'll add the link to yours. ^BLUER一番 14:15, August 4, 2010 (UTC)

Deaffiliating Heartstation.org

As of 4th August 2010, Heartstation.org does not link back to us. We should consider de-affiliation. Agreed? ^BLUER一番 14:15, August 4, 2010 (UTC)

Sounds like a plan. --LegoAlchemist 22:01, August 6, 2010 (UTC)

Okay, so on my return from work I'll work on the cards. There are two more logos left for me to do - KHMedia and Dead Fantasy, and then I'll have to get the cards coloured and done up. I'm not using my premade cards anymore ; I'm using the REC card bases. Only the colours are customised. TROISNYX AMDG 07:24, August 7, 2010 (UTC)

Spyro Wiki

UxieLover1994 Tiempo de morder de nuevo con el poder! El tema de hoy: su sorpresa! — 06:15, September 6, 2010 (UTC) Since I have become admin at the Spyro wiki, I have been sending plenty of links to this wiki. The Spyro wiki will always make sure this wiki is on our affiliates. But is it okay if you do the same for us? We would be honnored if you do, y'know!

Bluer says at 08:47, September 6, 2010 (UTC) We welcome affiliation with fellow Wikias!

UxieLover1994 Tiempo de morder de nuevo con el poder! El tema de hoy: su sorpresa! — 09:17, September 6, 2010 (UTC) Gracias, amigo!

I'll be sure to handle the Wiki card once I've got less on my hands. ^_^ Helping others always comes before asking others for help. • TroisNyxÉtienne — 13:01, September 6, 2010 (UTC)

Update

UxieLover1994 Tiempo de morder de nuevo con el poder! El tema de hoy: su sorpresa! — 01:11, 10 February 2011 (EST) Spyro Wiki's got a new address. Just click here and find out yourself.

The link for TheLightningspririt78's Youtube channel doesn't work. Organization13 22:10, September 25, 2010 (UTC)

Related

The sidebar says related sites. If we are going to allow non KH related wikis to be affiliates, we should consider changing that. Oh, and every link on the page is a double link (Under the cards and below them) KRCCFNF is tired of being STEPPED ON.

Unfaithful Affiliates

DoorToNothing — I dreamed last night... I got on the boat to Heaven! And by some chance, I had brought my dice along! — 09:16, December 31, 2010 (UTC) I just went through all of our affiliates to check that they are all linking back to the Kingdom Hearts Wiki. Shockingly, five four 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. 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. 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. 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.

17master - Hey, guys, check out my new camera! TALK - Oh wait, this isn't a camera... - {{{time}}} 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.

SilverCrono Well, I can tell who you are. — "Looks like you're prepared." "What is with you and picking up stray puppies?" — 16:40, December 31, 2010 (UTC) I found the Final Fantasy's Affliate page easily. They don't link here on the front page, but it's there.

DoorToNothing — I dreamed last night... I got on the boat to Heaven! And by some chance, I had brought my dice along! — 21:36, December 31, 2010 (UTC) Every other site shows their affiliates or a link to their affiliates directory on their main page. If FFWiki is not going to display that, they are making it extremely difficult for any of their viewers to find us. It surely will not be much trouble to add a short link to their front page, and I've sent Faethin a memo on the issue. 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.

DoorToNothing — I dreamed last night... I got on the boat to Heaven! And by some chance, I had brought my dice along! — 00:54, January 9, 2011 (UTC) Okay, the Dead Fantasy Wiki has acknowledged our request and added us to their affiliates box on their front page. The Spanish Kingdom Hearts Wiki and KH-Vids.Net, have yet to take any action. They have about a day or so to make the necessary change, or else we will de-affiliate with those two partners from our wiki.

What IS an affiliate anyway?

LegoAlchemist - They changed "Snipe Magnet" to "Magnet Grab"? Who's translating this game, 4kids? TALK - Friendships are in direct contravention of mercenary conduct as delineated in your contracts, and on a personal note: I am very, very, disappointed with you. 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.

DoorToNothing — I dreamed last night... I got on the boat to Heaven! And by some chance, I had brought my dice along! — 01:43, January 10, 2011 (UTC) 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 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.

Requests for Affiliaton

Bud0011 - "Hey, it's just like that old goat says: Rule#11: It's all just a game" TALK - Bud0011 15:50, 16 February 2011 (EST) Hey, Guys. How are you today? First, congratulations on becoming independent! Second, I was wondering if you guys be interested in becoming an Affiliated with Any or all of the following sites: Lylat Wiki Nintendo Wiki WikiBound Fire Emblem Wiki NIWA Network Thank you for your time, Bud0011.

KrytenKoro - And when you see me standing there, you'll know you've got a friend with a rock, I mean a big-ass rock. TALK - I'm good with all of them, but I've never handled affiliates before. TNE, DTN, what do you guys think?

Bud0011 - "Hey, it's just like that old goat says: Rule#11: It's all just a game" TALK - Bud0011 13:58, 20 March 2011 (EDT) Hey guys, i was wondering how this is coming along? The reason i ask, is i have 2 additional wiki's who are interested in joining my request.

German Kingdom Hearts Wiki

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. 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 - Replica Data.pngAS IF!File:Xigbar - Replica Data.png 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. 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. Sum2k3 15:26, 21 March 2011 (EDT)

French Kingdom Hearts Wiki

Unbirth Discussion — Et moi, Jack, L'EPOUVANTAIL ! Ils me trouvent génial, mes mauvais tours les émerveillent, tous les ans c'est le triomphe et la gloire. 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. 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 - "Hey, it's just like that old goat says: Rule#11: It's all just a game" TALK - Bud0011 18:13, 20 March 2011 (EDT) That depends. Do you guys have access to your interwiki tables?

As I can tell, interwiki still works. We (german Wiki) are still using them and get linked to this wiki.Sum2k3 06:27, 22 March 2011 (EDT)

Bud0011 - "Hey, it's just like that old goat says: Rule#11: It's all just a game" TALK - Bud0011 16:40, 22 March 2011 (EDT) Sorry. My question wasn't about if they work. Mine was, wether or not they had access to it. If they do, then they can change it to link to here instead of wikia, And all the links should convert over. I Believe. *lol*
