Keyblade-Blk.png So, I write this because that two new music articles got my head thinking. We have few articles of music tracks from the Kingdom Hearts games. Other than the two themes by Utada Hikaru, most of these articles are almost complete stubs. Just look at The Corrupted, The Encounter, and Happy Holidays. I think that we should create a policy for our music pages. We just have articles on random music tracks right now; perhaps we should create articles for each music track, or create requirements for a music track to be featured in an article. Please leave your input on what you think should be done!

Keyblade-Blk.png This forum isn't about videos, it's about our articles about music from the Kingdom Hearts series, particularly its background instrumental music.

Eternal Nothingness XIII - Terra Master Symbol.png I'm not afraid of what the darkness holds now. Even if you do wrest control of my heart from me, even if you cast me into the deepest, darkest abyss, you'll never sway me from the one cause that pushes me to keep on fighting. Whatever the cost, I'm ready to pay it.
TALK - There's darkness within me... So what does that matter? I know I'm strong enough to hold it back. — 00:51, 1 September 2009 (UTC)
Earthshaker Keychain KHBBS.png Perhaps only allow articles for the main songs (Org. XIII themes, character themes, etc.)? That would be easier than having 100+ pages of stubs, don't you think? That would mean we would have :
  • Sora
  • Riku
  • Kairi
  • Namine
  • Roxas
  • Org. XIII
  • 13th Struggle
  • 13th Dilemna
  • 13th Reflection
  • 13th Anthology
  • Lord of the Castle
  • Darkness of the Unknown


And possibly more...if needed. Just with that list above, we'd have 12-13 articles.

Well character themes can be covered in each character's pages in a subsection (more or less like it's done in the FF wiki). As for which music piece should get an article I'm thinking iconic music, that is music that has appeared in at least two games like Dearly Beloved (can't think of another one at the moment). World music can equally be covered in world articles (but I'm not too sure about how much we want each article with music samples).

TALK -
[1] format should work for most of the songs on the soundtrack, and I can provide some images and sound files for that.

Songs that have special significance to the games, or appear on multiple soundtracks, should probably have an article. So, the opening and closing songs, and stuff like the Atlantica songs and The Other Promise, which appeared on the OST and Drammatica.

Character themes would perhaps work best in a "Music" section on the character's article. They are pretty much the same topic, so there's no reason to give them more than a redirect, unless, like with The Other Promise, they are used as game/trailer themes, like Sanctuary and Hikari were.

Keyblade-Blk.png I agree with the characters having their own music section and the Organization members like Marluxia can have all their different songs in battles and such.

I really don't think we need pages for all songs, maybe just the Utada songs, Dearly Beloved (since it's been in every game so far), and the Atlantica songs since they have lyrics as well. Some other inclusions might be Destati (used for commercials and trailers) and the two secret movie pieces (can't remember their names).

Keyblade-Blk.png Sounds good! So we need to get rid of some articles in the Music category. Would you mind taking care of that, Kryten?

I've been editing and adding the new Music pages lately and also been adding all the Music Samples and I think this new system is a good format, But DTN or Kryten could you describe what's going to be changed format in as much detail as possible please. DTN or Kryten please could you please leave me a message here or on my talk page about the new format it's essential for me so I know what to do for any upcoming music pages. Thanks again and we do definitely need a policy on this.

I vote for a music section, the music templates look a bit messy in the World infobox. Also, is there a way to make the template look less... wikipediaish and more kh-ish?

Also, is there anyway to get the little "i" image to not display when the oggs are called?
