Page 1: The Keyhole's Unlocking
Page 2: Kingdom Hearts's Renewal
Page 4: Hall of Rewards. I dunno something like that? Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I cannot accept, and the wisdom to hide the bodies of those I had to kill because they pissed me off. - Erry 20:21, 4 March 2013 (UTC)

Page 4: what do they call the gold cards in COM? Room of Bounty or something? TheFifteenthMember 22:02, 4 March 2013 (UTC)

Isn't it Room of Rewards? Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I cannot accept, and the wisdom to hide the bodies of those I had to kill because they pissed me off. - Erry 22:38, 4 March 2013 (UTC)

Yeh, Room of Rewards. Either that or Hall, I don't really care much. TheFifteenthMember 06:33, 5 March 2013 (UTC)

FinalRest - I move the stars for no one. TALK - 04:39, 6 March 2013 (UTC) Thanks for getting started on this MEX! Just adding onto Caf's list and what sections need to be on each page: Page 1: Cover Page 2: Contents. Could you add in a box somewhere for an editor's letter? The name for the letter is The Secret Report. The black/white scheme is fine. Page 3: Trinity Archives. We need boxes for each piece of news. I was thinking maybe something like image on the left, then the info in a box to the right. Then for the next bit of news, the info box is on the left and the image is on the right. Then it alternates like that. Sorry if that's hard to understand, cause I'm terrible at explaining things. ^^ For color scheme, what about the traditional KH blue/silver from the KH and KHII logos? Page 4: Unlocking the Keyhole (going off of Erry's name idea). The sections we have are: Updates for the deletion, move and protection logs, info on the current battles going on in user arenas, introductions of new users and another section for updates from our Jiminy's Journal. For colors, how about going off the yellow in our logo? Page 5: Kingdom Hearts' Renewal. Sections are left up to you guys, of course. Same goes for colors, but what about the pink/white/black currently used in your theme? Page 6: Special Editor Page. The subject of this page changes, so the design is left to the current author. All you really need to do now is add the tab for it. :) Page 7: Dive to the Heart (aka the Tutorials page). We need one part for the wiki based tutorial and another for the game tutorial. I'm not sure about colors. Page 8: Featured Article. Same as the Special Editor page, you don't need to do anything for this either. Page 9: Round Room (Staff roundtable). For this one we'd need speech bubbles for each individual participant in the conversation, cause I think just copy/pasting the talk bubbles could space out the page a bit much. So maybe plain bubbles with staff avatars? Again, I'm not sure for colors. Page 10: Room of Rewards. We need boxes to talk about the Featured Articles and Media, images of each included. For colors, how about basing it off the colors of Treasure Chests? Page 11: User Page (this doesn't have a name yet). So far we need sections for a user interview, a top 5 list and a review. Page 12: The Game Grid. Currently includes a puzzle (possibly naming this section the Chasm of Challenges), a KH character skit and a mini arena. For colors, how about the greyish blue from the in game Game Grid? Page 13: The Interactive Page (also doesn't have a name). Needs a section for the chief editor hosted mailbag. Also needs another section for the to do lists, which include 5 tasks to complete from .net, 5 more for the Keyhole and 5 challenges for the KH games, so it needs to be separated into 3 sections somehow. And that's all there is! I think each page should have its own color scheme, so they all differentiate. There also needs to be a place to put the written by box (take a look at the Fairy Tail wiki magazine to see what I mean). Also, would you mind if I were to stop by every now and again and help you out with putting this together?

Of course you can help, Final Rest. I would be grateful. Today I have some homework to do, so I will not be able to help very much. But if you want, you can change the template, anything. - MateusinhoEX 14:21, 6 March 2013 (UTC)

Contents

I was taking a look at the contents page and I think it might be too cramped to put both the Secret Report and the Contents on the same page. The contents should be the main focus, so it should go up the top, but in that case I don't want the Secret Report to just be shoved to the bottom of the page. So, I was wondering if you think we should tab the contents page so it'd look something like this. Do you think that makes the page tidier or do you think it should be left as it looks now? FINALREST 09:57, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

FinalRest - "I'll come back to you... I promise!" TALK - 14:17, 16 March 2013 (UTC) Hello again. :) So, I spaced out the contents and I think it's a lot less cramped now, but it also leaves a big gap to the right of the box. I was thinking of ways to fill it, and I was thinking maybe we could put a sort of collage thing there to fill in the gap. Something like this, perhaps? However, I'm kind of iffy on the way that looks, so I was wondering what you guys thought. Obviously pay no attention to the images themselves cause I just added the first screenshots I could find. ^_^ I also noticed that page 11 and 12 were left out of the tabs and contents and I was wondering if there was a reason for that, or if it was just a mistake...

Looks good, but how would we pick which images to put? TheFifteenthMember 14:30, 16 March 2013 (UTC)

Hey guys!! I am a little busy these days. Well, lets explain somethings:

1. About the Secret Report. Do you wish to leave it as it is, or change it's look, with it's new colors to make it look like the other pages, or change all other pages to look like it? Or just leave it different, like a special page?
2. About the missing pages. I just didn't had time to add them yet, no special reasons XD.
3. And last, about gaps, not just in contents, but in any pages it may happen. I can't help with this, because I use a resolution in which... well... there aren't any gaps!! So, you solve it as you wish. I can only say that the images looks veeeery good. I loved them. We could use images related to the respective Trinity Archives and Dive to the Heart of the issue. For example, images of KHHD ReMIX, χ[chi], and some of the game in the walkthrough of that issue.

MateusinhoEX - 16:02, 16 March 2013 (UTC)

For the secret report, I just tried to make it look as similar to the real Secret Report in the game as I could. I would've been able to do more with html, but, well, wikia *shakes fist angrily*. I think it's fine to have the pages a little different, especially since pages like the Featured Editor page will be changed according to the author for that issue, so the variety will be a good change. As for the contents, since you guys like it, I'll add in a code later for the image. For the pictures, you hit the nail on the head, MEX. I too was thinking we just customize them according to the content of that issue, so I guess we'll just do that. :) FINALREST 13:41, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

Fine. Then these points are solved. I will just add the missing pages. I also don't know how to do with the Roundtable page. Could you help me? MateusinhoEX - 16:17, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

Sorry for taking a while to get back to this. ^^ I'll take a look at the roundtable and see what I can do! FINALREST 07:32, 27 March 2013 (UTC)

Seems like it's coming along nicely. One thing though - is there any chance of changing the color scheme of the Contents page? Personally, it looks a bit dull and awkward. I think different fonts will look very good and perhaps a dark grey or silver will work better. Just a suggestion. TheFifteenthMember 19:41, 28 March 2013 (UTC)

This is a cool way to see how it all comes together. ^^ I'm all for changing the Contents colors, but I don't have any ideas, so go ahead and do what you think'll look nice. :) Oh, and I also filled in some of the other spaces, to see how they look. FINALREST 09:50, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

Would you mind if I moved the author bit to under the title? I think it would look nicer that way... Also, do we have anyone to work on the page title images? Cause if we don't I could have a crack at them. :) This concludes my wonderful story! 03:38, 7 April 2013 (UTC)

Erry said he would like to make images, but I don't think he would be upset if you give it a try. About the titles, I will change them for you, don't worry. If you want, you can make any changes to the magazine, okay? MateusinhoEX 16:48, 8 April 2013 (UTC)

Reboot!

Heya MEX, it's been a while! Since this is getting a fresh start, I'd once again like to offer my help. Is there anything you need help with regarding the template? FINALREST 14:54, 17 April 2014 (UTC)

Hey, FR, just in time!! Im really needing help with this, since I don't have much freetime now. Basically, I need you to help me style the remaining pages, like, color of them and things like. If you want to put some fancier styles, such as shadows in the boxes and things like that we can think about it. Also, if you can help me check the variables of each article (I mean, the blank spaces, such as {{{autorname}}} and {{{topfive}}}, for example</nowiki. And I think it's just that for now. I will make some edits now and get things going. Thanks for the help! - ~~~~

Hey MEX, I also signed up to help with the coding. Is there anything you need me to do? KeybladeSpyMaster 04:27, 18 April 2014 (UTC)

Lucky there's plenty help :) Basically, I need you to do the same things as FR. I managed to make a good draft now, so yeah, there's just more adjusts to do. Thanks!! - MateusinhoEX 13:48, 18 April 2014 (UTC)

TheFifteenthMember Yes. You're creepy. I can't say we'll miss you while you're gone, so it'd be best if you did go. We all win that way. — TheFifteenthMember 23:12, 25 April 2014 (UTC) After a lot of procrastination, I've finally made the time to write my suggestions (most of which are just nitpicking)!: Contents: Before the {{{specialeditordesc}}} parameter, we should have a fixed sentence that explains that the Keyblade Master page changes completely from issue to issue. Also, the "In the newest podcast" bit could probably be scrapped seeing as it'd go on the Round Room page and like the Keyblade Master, we could have a fixed sentence before the "staffroundtabledesc" that explains what the podcast is. The Door to Light: I can't speak for the Keyhole here, but I think the log updates and new users parts should be scrapped because they'd be too long, detailing every page that was deleted in the last three-months. The summary style of the Trinity Archives could be replicated here. The command board can stay so that we can talk about any projects we have. The Coliseum: Aside from links to the MA and Underdrome somewhere, the page should be modelled to suit the new "debate" idea we got. Essentially, they can look exactly like a standard MA arena with two columns for each contestant and the opinion parts going beneath the pictures (where the votes usually are). Dive to the Heart: Needs the "Game Tutorial" section that used to be there. Round Room: This only needs a designated place for the .ogg file to go and the "In our newest podcast" section that's currently in the contents page. Mark of Mastery Exam: The top 5 list and review could go side by side in two columns but that's only if we can manage to make them equal length (but we can balance them out with pictures anyway) and then the user interview below. The speech mark idea from the round room can be reworked there somehow maybe? (P.S. The currently title for that page is "Keyblade Master" so that needs updating). Namine's Sketchbook: A little piece of text needs to be added to the top to explain how to make image requests. Game Grid: This can be sorted into two columns. The first column will have the "Guess that Beast" instructions and image while the second column will have the two text-based riddles ("Who am I?" and the other riddle). Also, again, a piece of text needs to be added to the top to explain how the mini-competition works. Flick Rush: The tasks can be split into three columns, the left has the KHWiki tasks, the right has the Keyhole ones and the game task is in the middle. Since wikis will have three tasks but the game will only have one, the center column's text needs to be enlarged and embellished to draw more attention and look balanced. We'll also need an explanation piece of text for how to email the Wiki to submit a completed task. The poll and mailbag can go side by side below.
