*Bulletin Board: The idea behind this lies in personal experience. In the past, I'd wanted to try and get the community's input on a couple of things. But leaving a summary is rarely effective, for those who don't frequent the Recent Changes Page, and the IRC isn't always busy. The bulletin board would be used to get attention to an issue, and perhaps call several people to the IRC (say, the staff, or such) in a timely manner, without having to message everyone on their talk pages. The idea would be to create a separate template that would act like a sticky-note, of sorts, and use that when posting something to the Bulletin Board. After whatever issue the note meant to attract was taken care of, the note would be removed. Simple, right? But do we want it? I think it'd be useful, and it would work somewhat like the site notice, without needing admin rights or using the same level of attention. | *Bulletin Board: The idea behind this lies in personal experience.

*I noticed that KSM's workshop for the First District has the actual Trinity Archives news on the mailbox. Considering we already have '''a)''' the main page '''b)''' the magazine and '''c)''' the Trinity Archive page itself, it's not a good idea to have yet another place for a news feed. That'd mean whenever we create a new entry in the Trinity Archive, we'll have to update the Trinity Archive main page, the home page ''and'' Traverse Town. Instead, I think we should simply have a description, link and an image to pretty the page (any image of a written text from KH would do).}} | *I noticed that KSM's workshop for the First District has the actual Trinity Archives news on the mailbox.

{{TheFifteenthMember|time={{User:TheFifteenthMember/Sig1}} 20:02, 26 June 2014 (UTC)|default=The Command Board, stubs and wanted articles belong on the "Editing" district. Also, the Trinity Archives / Current Happenings belongs to the "Wiki Information" sections. It's important to keep these organised methodically. I don't see the great need to swap the First and Fourth Districts around but I have no real argument against it either.}} | |||
{{KeybladeSpyMaster|time=15:53, 8 July 2014 (UTC)|TRON=Now that the Main Page is finished, this project can start in full speed. If I understood you correctly, FM, then from my idea, we should move the Stubs/Articles and Command Board/Helping Out to the Third District and the Trinity Archives to the Fourth District. In that case, we can split the Accessory Shop and move the Manual of Style/Policies to another place in the First District. So how is this: | |||

{{TheFifteenthMember|time={{User:TheFifteenthMember/Sig1}} 17:35, 9 July 2014 (UTC)|sad=The structure is fine. Here's lots of nitpicks for your draft: | |||
*First District | |||
**Accessory Shop is '''Wiki information''' so it belongs on the Fourth District with the other information centres. | |||
**The Accessory Shop can be replaced with the "Chain of Reward". | |||
*Third District | |||
**Secret Waterway should be removed. It is redundant to the Fountain. | |||
*Fourth District | |||
**Back Streets should have the info currently on the Accessory Shop. The mainspace info is on the Colosseum. | |||
*Fifth District | |||
**The Garden is basically links to the [[KHWiki:Staff]] and [[KHWiki:Staff/Retired]] pages. | |||

{{KeybladeSpyMaster|time=03:04, 10 July 2014 (UTC)|TRON=Ok, so I've been thinking about this, and it seems to me we might have to replace the hub images with something other than the artwork currently in use. MIGHT, so maybe we don't. The reason for this is that some places in the new Traverse Town (Moogle Workshop, Dalmatian's Den, Alleyway, Garden) aren't really seen in the artwork. Of course, we could try to fit it in, but the 1st District art wouldn't fit any more areas into it. I don't know. I'll try and make a version with the artwork, but just keep in mind we might not be able to make it fit.}} | |||
:I made some changes to your drafts; they were mainly just little paraphrases and formatting. I left the Fountain of the Third District, though, until I figure out a way to make it prettier. In the old Traverse Town, the idea was that there was flyers up about stubs, needed images etc. I think that's what we should do here, maybe by dividing the page into coloured boxes with each being a different flyer? | |||

{{KeybladeSpyMaster|time=17:04, 10 July 2014 (UTC)|TRON=Ok, I added colored boxes, but I've got an idea of what we could do. We could create five templates (FlyerArticles, FlyerStub, FlyerExpand, FlyerImprove, FlyerImage) for people to add to the Fountain Page. The flyers would all require a link, a description of what is requested, and the requestor's signature. So, for example, if I request an image for [[Ice Slide]], I go to the Fountain Page, and use FlyerImage to add a request for Ice Slide. What do you guys think?}} | |||
:That sounds like a good idea but wouldn't the page become too cluttered after tens and tens of requests get put up? The coloured boxes look neat and nice so I think we should leave it like that. If people want to request that image, they can add the [[Template:Images]] on the Ice Slide page, which will add it to the requested image category, so people can find it from there. Also, if someone wants to draw attention to a particular page, they can add the article onto the appropriate coloured box so lists fill out that way. It takes less space to add one link to an article than an entire template. {{User:TheFifteenthMember/Sig1}} 17:11, 10 July 2014 (UTC) | |||

Sorry that this interjection is a bit random, but I managed to [http://i.imgur.com/0SeHOZC.png replicate] the font style that is currently in the portal for when it comes time to produce new image tiles.

{{KeybladeSpyMaster|time=05:01, 11 July 2014 (UTC)|TRON=Ok, first, yeah, I thought the flyers idea would get the page cluttered. I was thinking of organizing some form of choose-option idea/system, but I began to think it might get complicated. So if we don't want it, then that's fine. As for the font. I was trying to create the names of the worlds using a font based off the Traverse Town logo. However, I do appreciate you helping me with identifying the original font used, since I'll still use that somewhere (and, if it all blows up, I'll just use it all together). Anything else we still need to tweak? There are no other artworks, so we'll have to squeeze it into existing art, or get someone to take first-person-point-of-view screenshots of the areas from HD 1.5 ReMIX, but I think that'll get complicated to get and use.}} | |||
{{KeybladeSpyMaster|time=23:54, 12 July 2014 (UTC)|TRON=Ok, how are these images? I'm thinking of creating an image map, so we don't have to split the image up and upload each section separately. | |||

- I made some changes to your drafts; they were mainly just little paraphrases and formatting. I left the Fountain of the Third District, though, until I figure out a way to make it prettier. In the old Traverse Town, the idea was that there was flyers up about stubs, needed images etc. I think that's what we should do here, maybe by dividing the page into coloured boxes with each being a different flyer?
- If we can find new artwork, then sure. But if not, I guess we have to make do with what we have and have the text links on the artwork even if they don't correspond to the exact location. TheFifteenthMember 15:20, 10 July 2014 (UTC)
