Talk:Enter the Void

If we are to have separate articles for each piece the games, we need to figure out how to categorize them. - Eternal Nothingness XIII 04:51, 13 October 2014 (UTC)

There's a category for Songs, I believe? Also do you not want me to go into the more detailed technical aspects? Also it'd be nice if we could get the full audio recording, but I heard there might be copyright issues? ColdAsFire05:03, 13 October 2014 (UTC)

But I mean, do we want to categorize songs by name? By type (boss theme, field theme, etc.)? It's more complex now than just "Songs" as a general category. Besides, "Pieces" is the more correct term, since in Kingdom Hearts, we deal primarily with instrumental pieces. I would use pages like this and particularly this for reference when writing future music articles; they are very thorough examples that would make something of this manner more article-worthy. We should also discuss making navigational templates for musical pieces, yes? - Eternal Nothingness XIII 05:14, 13 October 2014 (UTC)

The only issue with basing all of the pieces off of the One Winged Angel or Duel of the Fates page layout is that those two are extremely high profile songs, quite popular and iconic, even. A piece like Enter the Void appears exactly ONCE, in ONE boss fight, with ONE version. There aren't extensive interviews on the creation of this little piece, and sheet music is limited to one or two fan arrangements. I could transcribe an actual score and we could use those images, if it doesn't break copyright infringement, but our official information is quite limited. ColdAsFire16:52, 13 October 2014 (UTC)

I'm not saying "Make every article just like those!" I was just saying that those are exemplary articles regarding songs or pieces from other franchises that we can use as a model. I am well aware how insignificant "Enter the Void" is in comparison to something like "One-Winged Angel." That's just something we're gonna have to deal with if we create articles for pieces that only appear in one game as you seem to be. Obviously we can't have every section these bigger articles do if a piece is only used once; I'm saying that we should use similar formatting/sections and include similar information, making adjustments depending upon the piece. - Eternal Nothingness XIII 01:40, 14 October 2014 (UTC)

Ah, gotchou. I'll give it a shot, let's see how it works out ColdAsFire02:40, 14 October 2014 (UTC)

Category: Songs is used for the Atlantica songs, which are fully voiced and very much "songs". I'd go with "Category: Music pieces" for the rest of the tracks. We could also divide by game (Category: Kingdom Hearts II music pieces etc.). Yeah, we need a navbar. It'd probably be organised by having "Introduced in..." sections, like the heartless navbar. TheFifteenthMember 06:36, 13 October 2014 (UTC)

I agree, a navbar would be useful, but since many songs are used in many games, I think organizing by game would only make it a bit more confusing. Song type (field, field battle, boss battle, etc) might be better for that ColdAsFire13:48, 13 October 2014 (UTC)

Why not arrange them by soundtrack/game they first appeared (for songs with variants, ie. "Monstrous Monstro", the original piece/game is used to determine)? ie. pieces that first played in KH2 go under the KH2 section, regardless of where else they appeared, same for BBS (many of its songs reused in 3D), and so on. Ultima Spark (talk) 14:05, 13 October 2014 (UTC)

I think that would work. ColdAsFire16:52, 13 October 2014 (UTC)

I could do the nav bar, if no one minds... KeybladeSpyMaster 16:56, 13 October 2014 (UTC)

Start on it, let's see how it looks ColdAsFire19:09, 13 October 2014 (UTC)

KeybladeSpyMaster - I fight for the Users! TALK - - Greetings, users. System is up, and ready for user input. - 11:53 AM Wed, October 15, 2014 MST CODE 0xKHWV001: SYSTEM START UP So, I'm gonna respond to all the issues at once. First, the nav bar. I'm currently developing it, it can be seen here. The links will eventually all be white, when I get to actually replacing everything there with links to the music. Right now, it's a recolor of a different nav bar I was making, so most of the links aren't to music, yet. Second is the categories. I think we should make the categories as Category:Music in Game X, for example. Then, all the music categories can go under the bigger Category:Music. This should apply not just to the pages, but also to the music files themselves. I've got this draft where I've been working on a page. Right now, it's still mostly empty, but I've tried to add to the sections Coldasfire did on this page. I added sections so that we can add the information we've spent months collecting, namely, where the songs actually play in the series. I don't know much about music theory or such, so I can't help there, but it would appear to me that "Details" and "Summary" could be merged into one section, no? The sections on that draft are the ones I felt we could use from the examples ENX pointed out, so yeah. Finally, a pretty new proposal. I made this this morning. What do you guys think? It's in action here. There's a little question as to whether we should have an image at all, and, if we do, what would we use as an image. Because right now, I'm using a world image, but not every song is a world theme. We could use album art, but not every song appears in an album. We could use the game logos, too. What do you guys think?
