I disagree because I think it would negatively impact the wiki and just make the 2+ year crowd's workload even harder, and I think "2 years" is an arbitrary subjective number which is overkill. That means someone who's been editing the wiki for a year and 11 months must ask for ''permission'' to edit a KH3-related article's on the talk page, which is inane. So far, the edits I've seen in recent changes have been pretty logical and positive, and doing things like helping out with plot summaries. Instead of trying to reduce newcomers, I think we should just step up our game, correct the articles, tell people how to improve, and move on.
And yes, I jumped the gun because I didn't realize how much KH3 removed the Frozen storyline and that it would remove the famous "betrayal" plot twist. That was a ''one-time'' event and I promise I won't do it again. Also, we are basically done learning the true names of each character in the journals. It's not the end of the world because a wiki called a character "Woody Pride" instead of "Woody" or something like that.

KrytenKoro - This is the song that runs under the credits; these are the credits, so this is where it goes. 'has nothing to do with the movie so we'll say, "Hey! Hey! Hey hey hey hey hey hey!"
TALK -
This one strongly advocates requiring all changes to KH3 articles not made by 2+ years editors be discussed on talk page first, because we are seeing rampant violations of the manual of style, like listing "personality" sections for characters who don't talk within the actual games, or using a name throughout a synopsis section that the game pointedly refuses to use for that character.

I appreciate that people are very excited about the new game, but it's ballooning into a massive mess that's going to be a nightmare to clean up afterward, and unfortunately most of the people with the experience to write articles correctly, or review the recent changes, are either busy playing the game, or avoiding spoilers until after they finish the game.

I realize I'm coming off of a long period of inactivity, but I would agree with this suggestion. If there's a pattern of MoS issues, then we really should be discussing edits and additions before putting them on pages.

I agree with this suggestion. I share everyone's sentiments about the game's release and the excitement it brings to all the fans, but for the last few days, the staff has been busting their butts off just trying to keep up with all the new users and influx of edits, many of which violates our MoS. Many edits are done by users who aren't even bothering to follow the MoS, despite having edited on the KHWiki the past. New users are just coming onto the wiki are just skipping ahead and inserting content about the ending, not checking the storyline and relying on assumptions, and proof-reading before publishing. All of this causing too much chaos on the KHWiki, with so many users prioritizing quantity of KHIII content over quality of edits.
