Regarding symbols: due to the issues Joe mentioned, we have added certain symbols- including this star and ''Kingdom Hearts'' series exclusive characters- to our site's editing window. Underneath the save changes/edit window screen is a box containing symbols. If you click on whichever symbol/character you need, it automatically adds it to where your cursor is in the edit window. To clarify, no one is angry or upset at mistakes happening. We all make them. We're just trying to help inform on rules/clear up why their edits were reverted. {{User:Xion4ever/Sig}} 14:50, 17 June 2020 (UTC) | Regarding symbols: due to the issues Joe mentioned, we have added certain symbols- including this star and ''Kingdom Hearts'' series exclusive characters- to our site's editing window.

Removing ★
Hey there. A question: Why are you removing ★ icons from file names and replacing it with "star?" In particular, the Dessert Paradise.ogg file is the official name from the official soundtrack. Please, do not change official names. If you have questions just ask, thanks. Xion4ever 13:07, 17 June 2020 (UTC)
- Also, please don't change file names from KHIII to KHII. TheSilentHero 13:27, 17 June 2020 (UTC)
