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 21:35, 12 April 2016 (UTC) Hello everyone! Remember a little idea we had a while back, called Operation: Keychain? Well, it started off okay and then we started talking about the Keyhole's purpose and everything became a little muddled. The good news is that the Keyhole has decided on its purpose so with that part out the way, we can now continue that operation! Before handling the other topics that are in the original plan made by KSM, Chain and Xion, I think we should still spend some time thinking about the first section "The Greater Wiki", since it is the foundation of everything else we will be doing afterwards. At the moment, we're using the name Kingdom Hearts Wikiverse (or KHWV). Our first point of discussion is whether everyone is still okay with that name or if we should change it? As an overview to those who don't know, the KHWV is best described as a collection of wikis that collectively aims to be the ultimate KH resource and offer information on every aspect of Kingdom Hearts. The word "collectively" is important because each wiki has its own scope and purpose within the wider wikiverse and it is only when all the wikis' content is combined that we get the full picture. (An extended explanation will be featured in the next magazine issue so the concept isn't completely clear yet, read it.) So far, the KHWV has three encyclopaedic wikis: The KHWiki, which is the most comprehensive database and aims to document almost everything Kingdom Hearts. I say "almost" everything because it will only contain an overview of KHX/KHUX's gameplay elements and for these games, the KHWiki mainly focusses on its overlap with the rest of the series. The Kingdom Hearts Unchained χ Wiki, which has a more in-depth coverage of Unchained χ. The Keyhole, which is a summarised encyclopaedia, focussing on the essential KH information rather than gameplay and specific details. In addition, there are two other wikis lined up to be part of the KHWV: The Kingdom Hearts Fanon Wiki, a non-factual wiki where fans can embrace their fandom. The Kingdom Hearts Answers Wiki, a Q&A where people can ask any question they have relating to Kingdom Hearts. (The KHUX Wiki, KHFanon wiki and KHAnswers wiki haven't been formally invited to the KHWV yet so one task is to go around and actually asking if they want to be part of this.) On top of that, we were also looking to partner with a KH news site. While they wouldn't be considered a member of the KHWV (since they aren't a wiki), they'd be the go-to place for news so that the KHWV has somewhere to direct readers who wants that type of information, meaning that we live up to our goal of being the ultimate KH resource. A question is which news site do we want to partner with? Personally, I use KH13 the most and it would make sense to pair with them as they're already affiliated with the KHUX wiki and a huge part in making that happen, so they're already indirectly linked to the KHWV. Finally, we need to think about the setup of the KHWV. How will the logistics work? Will we need a website? Please discuss and correct me if any of the things I said here was wrong.!

Eternal Nothingness XIII It's not in my nature to hold back. — 00:39, 13 April 2016 (UTC) I still like the name Kingdom Hearts Wikiverse, and I agree with the idea of affiliating ourselves with KH13.com. Not only is the site partnered already with the KHUX Wiki, it is also very good about staying up-to-date and reporting the latest KH news in a timely fashion. These are the essential aspects of a "quality" news website. Regarding a KHWV website, what if we did something similar to the way Kingdom Hearts.com was formatted prior to its KHUX update? Imagine the following: A "hub site" on which the logos of each website affiliated with the KHWV appears. Clicking on a particular logo would take a person to the respective internal website (e.g. KHWiki.com, The Keyhole, or KH13…). If we want to go the extra mile, we could like to the foreign language KH Wikis, as well, by having a "Select your country/language" feature…This could make KHWV more friendly to potential foreign visitors looking for something in their native tongue… Just some suggestions! EDIT: 01:10, 13 April 2016 (UTC) - In case people need a better idea of what I was suggesting for the KHWV "hub site," see this. I wasn't even thinking about linking to our social media site pages, but I feel it is a good idea, or at least one to be considered.

Chainoffire - "Hey, wait... I'm enjoying this. You guys are something else!" TALK - :) Chainoffire 02:47, 13 April 2016 (UTC) Maybe this template I made awhile back could be of use? I'm thinking that if we make a page on each wiki, (and stick it on the sidebar) explaining what the KHWV is, and have that navi at the bottom of the main page, (is SEIWA still a thing?) that could work fine. If we were to partner with a news site I'm thinking that KH13 would be the way to go, especially since both The Keyhole and KHUx are already affiliated with KH13.
