 ::::The CoM box had that color scheme to match the Sora-Riku red-blue thing, which it no longer maintains. The KH and KHII ones I'm guessing were meant to resemble the Kingdom Key. After that, it's pretty much just been an accident of copying the closest existing template. Since we've pretty thoroughly dismantled the original reasons for those color schemes, I think it would make sense to incorporate the "Kingdom Key" scheme on all Keyblade/weapon infoboxes.
 ::::So is the principle then that we prioritize full-game appearances over teaser vids (MXK first appeared within the Birth by Sleep teaser vid), or ignore those vids completely? Are we okay with the infobox only noting the first full-game appearance (MKX appears in 3D as well)?{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 15:46, 4 June 2015 (UTC)
+:::::I say we don't count the teaser videos. As for multiple game appearances, I think we should only list the first one, unless the Keyblade changes design entirely in another game. {{User:TheSilentHero/Sig}} 15:59, 4 June 2015 (UTC)
+:::::::I can't think of any Keyblades which appear only in teaser vids, unless there are Graveyard Keyblades which Xehanort/Vanitas don't use to attack in BBS (should we have a page for those, by the way?) So, that seems like a satisfactory method.
+:::::::Only thing I can think of that the design change would apply to is the Foreteller's Keyblade, the X-blade, and the Combined Keyblade, which aren't so much instances of "multiple games" as "multiple forms". Everything else either already has a stat-based infobox or has only one form.
+::::::::Hazarding a guess, I'm thinking that you guys would want the Foreteller's Keyblade page to have tabs, but the X-blade and Combined Keyblade pages to show the "complete" forms in the infobox with the "piece" forms in a gallery? Just for future's sake, what would be advised if we later get stats for, says, the Unicornis Keyblade, but not any of the others?{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 19:09, 4 June 2015 (UTC)
+:::::::::We can tab the Foretellers Keyblades and give them their own template, and if we get stats for one we can add it to that template, or we could split them if we get the stats. For weapons with multiple forms, we can tab the images. {{User:TheSilentHero/Sig}} 17:19, 5 June 2015 (UTC)
+::::::::::So for the MXK, all of its forms will be in the infobox, but for Ends of the Earth, Void Gear, Destiny's Embrace, those will still have galleries?{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 17:45, 5 June 2015 (UTC)
+:::::::::Would we want to put the Edge of Ultima and Detection Saber in one of these too, since they don't have any real stats? Or should we leave them as part of the Ultima weapon page? {{User:Chainoffire/sig}} 17:58, 5 June 2015 (UTC)
+:::::::::::For Ends of the Earth and Destiny's Embrace, I don't think the differences between images are big enough to give it an extra infobox. For MXK, those aren't really forms, but it just changes shape in-battle, so they should stay in the gallery. For Void Gear, I honestly don't know. I guess we could put Vanitas's (and Remnant's) version in it's own tab, but what would we call the tabs? Terra/Ventus/Aqua and Vanitas? As for Detection Saber and Edge of Ultima, they don't appear in-game (except through hacking), so we should leave them on Ultima Weapon's page. {{User:TheSilentHero/Sig}} 18:02, 5 June 2015 (UTC)
+:::So, are we changing it to "every iteration of a keychain", then, instead of "only pages lacking an infobox"?{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 19:51, 5 June 2015 (UTC)
+::::Except the Keyblade of heart doesn't have a keychain. {{User:TheSilentHero/Sig}} 20:03, 5 June 2015 (UTC)
+:::::"Keychain" as in "form of a keyblade". As in, why we have separate pages for Jungle King and Mysterious Abyss rather than merging them as different forms of the same Keyblade.{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 22:10, 5 June 2015 (UTC)
+::::::Should the Wooden Keyblade get an infobox? And what about the Struggle Bats? Actually, Sora and Roxas can use those, so don't they have stats? {{User:TheSilentHero/Sig}} 10:06, 6 June 2015 (UTC)
+::::::::Struggle Bats should get infoboxes, but use the KHII weapon ones. I'm not sure if we've gotten their stats written down somewhere. Wooden Keyblade and stuff like that, I assumed we weren't doing because the original request was for an infobox for unboxxed Keychains.{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 16:41, 6 June 2015 (UTC)
+:::::::::It's just that both the [[Wooden Sword]] and [[Wooden Stick]] have one, but that's because they're equippable. I'll go ahead and change the templates. The Unobtainable infobox can be removed now, right?<br>EDIT:I changed the templates except InfoKeyKHX, because it has a ton of | which need to be changed to <nowiki>{{!}}</nowiki> and I'm currently not in the mood for it. I'll do it later, unless someone wants to do it for me... {{User:TheSilentHero/Sig}} 16:48, 6 June 2015 (UTC)
+:::::::::For Void Gear (and in fact, incomplete X-blade, Combined Keyblade portions, and MXK forms), I don't see the point of incorporating the infobox. As with LW's Ends of the Earth, and other Keyblades that appear in a game different than the one they are usable in, I think the gallery's fine -- certainly we use it for the Ultimania concept art to no ill effect (for that matter, the Combined Keyblade ''only'' has concept art, so should it really have an infobox at this point?). My personal PoV is that trying to mesh what is, for practical purposes, an in-game model to the stat-based infobox ''where not absolutely necessary'' is messy.
+:::::::::That being said, I've reverted the current inclusion of Void Gear because, at the very least, it's showing the wrong keychain. If consensus is that it gets re-implemented, then the coding will have to be fixed to address that.{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 03:12, 7 June 2015 (UTC)
+Sorry guys, had an upset stomach for a few days.  But it looks like ya'll already took care of it.  :)  Awesome!
+:Oh, I uploaded Lea's keychain at the very least:  http://www.khwiki.com/File:Lea%27s_Keyblade_Keychain_KH3D.png  --[[User:Webber22|Webber22]] ([[User talk:Webber22|talk]]) 03:58, 7 June 2015 (UTC)
+::::::::::So we should have only one image in the infobox? As for the concept art, there isn't a render available at the time, and I figured that it is better than nothing. When we do get a render, we can move the art back to the gallery. For Void Gear, you can use the keychain parameter to add a different image, but I don't think we have an image of Vanitas's keychain (and the Remnant's keychain is also black and white).
+::::::::::@Webber22: Where did you get that image? Because we need Keychain images for all KH3D Keyblades. {{User:TheSilentHero/Sig}} 12:04, 7 June 2015 (UTC)::::::::
+:::::::::::Lol, I just cropped it from the render we had.  As for the rest of them, I think it's just a matter of time.  Some folks over at XeNTaX have managed to crack the rom image but still working out some speed bumps.  Now, I have a question about the Foreteller key blades....I think we're gonna need a new info box altogether for them?   I tried making one yesterday and it was a total mess.  --[[User:Webber22|Webber22]] ([[User talk:Webber22|talk]]) 14:13, 7 June 2015 (UTC)
+::::::::::::Oh, and of course, I still vote that we should remove Vanitas's Void Gear from the...erm, Void Gear page altogether and make a separate one.  His variation is, if nothing else, at least unique enough for that.  (Like the difference between Kingdom Key and Kingdom Key D...I guess?)--[[User:Webber22|Webber22]] ([[User talk:Webber22|talk]]) 14:15, 7 June 2015 (UTC)
+{{od|::::::::::::}}
+The Foreteller Keyblades will use InfoKeyKHX, but I need to make a few changes to it first. The difference between the Kingdom Key and Kingdom Key D is that they are two different Keyblades, while the Void Gear and Vanitas's Void Gear are the same. {{User:TheSilentHero/Sig}} 15:06, 7 June 2015 (UTC)
+:I'm not at all opposed to having more than one image in the infobox; it's more the issue of showing incomplete versions in the infobox. I don't want to eventually have the infobox include the incomplete Graveyard Sleeping Lion, the Soul Eater (on WttD), the incomplete KHX Lady Luck, or Data-Sora's shattered Data-Keyblade, that kind of thing. Clearly we have precedent to allow TVA-style Keychain variants, so I'd be happy enough incorporating the Foretellers into that. For Vanitas...erg. It would make sense to incorporate his version, Foreteller-style, but having a TVA tab and a Vanitas tab just feels inelegant to me, and it would beg us to also include stuff like:
+*Kingdom Key D (KH1 Mickey, KHCoM Mickey, KH3D Mickey)
+*Kingdom Key (KH1 Riku and Anti-Sora, KHCoM Zexion)
+*Destiny's Embrace (KH2 Riku and Kairi)
+*Earthshaker (KHBbS Mimic Master)
+*Ends of the Earth (KH2 Lingering Will)
+*Rainfell (KHBbS Mimic Master)
+*Stormfall (KH2 Aqua)
+*Wayward Wind (KHBbS Mimic Master)
+*Oblivion (KHD Riku and Anti-Riku)
+*Star Seeker (KHRec Mickey, KHBbS Mickey, KHX Mickey)
+*MX Keyblade (KHBbS No Heart and Terra-Xehanort)
+*Master's Defender (KHBbS Armor of Eraqus and Master Eraqus)
+*Starlight (KHX Ephemera)
+:We keep Vanitas's Void Gear in the gallery and we avoid ''all'' that.
+:I'm not strongly opposed to including the concept art, it just feels weird. I'd be happiest if the infobox simply didn't have an image until we had a render, but I have no desire to push that issue.
+:For Void Gear, the issue is that the sole time the Keychain's been identified by Nomura, he treated it as identical to the keychains the protagonists receive. Honestly, given the theme naming (which is shared with No Name and the whole No Heart thing), there's not much reason to assume that the "true name" of Vanitas's version ''is'' different. Kingdom Key and Kingdom Key D, on the other hand, have different pages not because of their graphical difference (after all, the KHBbS and KHX keychains all have graphical differences), but because the fiction explicitly identifies them as unique Keychains, names and all. If Nomura ever changes that, or even just says something like "they didn't receive Vanitas's keychain, they received one mimicking the Remnant's attempted mimicry", that would be enough to split, but until then, there's not really a good argument for it that wouldn't demand splitting all of Terra/Ventus/Aqua's variants or the KHX Keyblade enhancements.{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 15:17, 7 June 2015 (UTC)
+::I agree with keeping the Void Gear in the gallery, although in your examples above, the Keyblades all look the same as the obtained ones, while Vanitas's Void Gear has different colors. (And we already have KHD Riku's Oblivion in the infobox).
+::I finished the InfoKeyKHX template. Tabbing the images in the template itself will probably not fit, since the names are pretty long and there are five of them. {{User:TheSilentHero/Sig}} 15:42, 7 June 2015 (UTC)
+:::Teeeeechnically, Anti-Sora's Kingdom Key and Anti-Riku's Oblivion, Riku/Kairi's Destiny's Embrace, and the KH2 Ends of the Earth and Stormfall differ in design.{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 22:36, 7 June 2015 (UTC)
