===Site Organization===
{{see also|Help:Site Organization}}
The ''Kingdom Hearts'' Wiki is designed and meant to document all things related to the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series. Because of this, the wiki has a diverse amount of information. This information is sorted into various namespaces which are usually part of the actual name of the article. The article namespaces on the wiki are:
*Main – Most of the Wiki’s content is found here, and includes articles on characters, worlds, and games. Articles in the mainspace are the only articles without a prefix in the name, such as [[Sora]], [[Land of Departure]], and [[Keyblade]].
*File – All the wiki's media is found here, including all image and audio files.
*Gallery – Articles that showcase images pertaining to a certain subject, such as [[Gallery:Kingdom Hearts II]]
*Form – Articles detailing changes in appearance of characters across different environments and worlds, such as [[Form:Sora]].
*Game – Articles detailing battle strategies for particular characters, such as [[Game:Maleficent]].
*Quote – A list of different quotes for a particular character, such as [[Quotes:Kairi]].
*Walkthrough – Articles detailing walkthroughs or guides for navigating through games and worlds. Includes things such as shop locations, objective tips, and additional battle strategies, such as [[Walkthrough:Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance]]
*Card – Articles that detail card related to a particular subject, as found in the Kingdom Hearts Trading Card Game
This page deals mostly with articles in the mainspace. Additional information on other articles can be found in their respective subpages in this Manual of Style.

('''To replace [[KHWiki:Image Policy]]''')
('''To replace [[KHWiki:Image Policy]]''')




==Using Media==
KHWiki:Media Policy
:''For the policy on media files, seek [[Kingdom Hearts Wiki:Media]]''
===Images===
This Media Policy is meant to provide a set of standards for the uploading and use of various media files on the Kingdom Hearts Wiki. This policy not only betters the organization of media files, but aims to make them better in quality and usable in many situations.  
*Head images for articles should be '''renders''' or '''in-game captures'''. If neither are available, artwork or scans from other sources are acceptable.
*Use as many images as possible to make the article visually appealing and successfully visually describe the subject, but be careful not to clutter the article with too many images. Additional images can be listed in a Gallery-space article. An image every five lines is good enough.
*New images should only be uploaded over old images if you are replacing the image with a better quality version.
**Where an image is of poor quality, use the template {{tname|Betterpic}} to alert the uploader and other users.
*The '''maximum number of images in a Gallery section''' (excluding the lists of characters and enemies) is '''12'''.
*If there are no images whatsoever in an article, you can alert other users by using the template {{tname|Images}}.


===Videos===
==Images==
*Videos are only allowed in:
All images must be uploaded as either .png or .gif file formats. When uploading an image, make sure that it is of adequate quality; avoid uploading an image if it is too blurry or hard to make out.  Images such as renders, logos, or single-item artwork should be uploaded with a transparent background. You may use Adobe Photoshop or GIMP to remove backgrounds or convert files to the appropriate format. Do not use Microsoft Paint for this, as it doesn’t have the ability to remove or retain transparency. If you are using a program to save create files in .gif, make sure to render them in the "Pattern" style, which optimizes quality. Screenshots from the games should be taken directly from the game, and should not be uploaded with any form of trademark or watermark on the image. Merchandise and product images may have trademarks on the items if the image is the official product image.
**Walkthroughs,
**Game-space articles,
**Game articles, where trailers are often showcased.
**Video-space articles, once there are too many videos (such as trailers for a game)
*Videos should be placed at the bottom of the article before Trivia, in their own section.
*Do not upload videos to the wiki. Instead, embed a video from YouTibe by typing '''<nowiki><youtube>the code after</nowiki> ''<nowiki>watch?v=</nowiki>''<nowiki></youtube></nowiki>'''''.


===Music===
At all times, use officially-released images. Do not use or upload fan art or user-altered images of any kind, except those altered to remove white backgrounds.
*Use music files in Music track pages and appropriate world and character pages.
**Upload only a '''30-second snippet''' of the track. Anything longer nay be a violation of copyrights, and will be removed from the Wiki.
**Do not link to file-sharing sites, or sites offering illegal music downloads.


[[Category: Kingdom Hearts Wiki|M]]
==Music==
Music files should be uploaded in the .ogg file format. Upload only 30-second snippets of a music track. Exceptions may exist for tracks that require a longer excerpt to better illustrate the piece, but these should be discussed on the appropriate track article's talk page before uploading. Do not upload entire tracks, as this may violate copyrights. Such tracks will be marked for deletion. You may use programs such as Audacity to edit tracks to appropriate length and convert them to a .ogg file.
 
==Videos==
Videos should not be uploaded to the Wiki. Instead, videos may be uploaded to YouTube and embedded on articles. You do this by using the wikitext tags <code><nowiki><youtube></nowiki></code>. Videos should be of appropriate quality; do not embed videos that are too blurry or poorly recorded. You may embed videos to demonstrate strategies for defeating certain enemies and bosses, as well as all official trailers. Review the Manual of Style before uploading videos. You may also record videos specifically for the Wiki, which can he uploaded to the wiki's YouTube channel. Talk to a member of the wiki staff for information on how to do this.
 
==File Names==
 
The Wiki’s file organization system, called File Names, is meant to help organize the various Media files uploaded to the wiki.  came into view shortly after the above Image Policy came into view, as images were being converted from low quality .jpg files, an idea came to tag them with proper names that make the organization much more fluid when looking for something. The organization is basically File:(subject) (world (if applicable)) (game).png.
 
Example: A render of Leon from Kingdom Hearts II should be uploaded as "Leon KHII.png".
 
In the case of character renders in worlds such as Timeless River, Space Paranoids, Halloween Town and Pride Land, the world names are incorporated in image names in the form of initials.
 
Example: A render of Sora in the Pride Lands should be uploaded as "Sora PL KHII.png".
 
Screenshots from cutscenes should be named using the following scheme: cutscene name, chronological ID (first image from that scene, etc.), game ID. Trailers should be named by the event name, trailer, chronological ID, game ID.
 
Example: An image presently saved as "Aqua meets Kairi.jpg" should be converted and uploaded as "File:Magic to Keep Kairi Safe 02 KHBBS.png". The names of the cutscenes can be found on the Theater Mode page.
Example: An image from the Kingdom Hearts III trailer shown at E3 2013 should be uploaded as File:E3 2013 Trailer 01 KHIII.png
