==Revival==

Hey guys, I'm [[User:Scottch|Scottch]] and I've invited all editors here to address some stuff for reviving this wiki.  Please chime in however you like.  I'll break it into headings.  [[User:Scottch|Scottch]] 09:11, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

=== <nowiki>{{SITENAME}}</nowiki> change ===

I've asked if the SITENAME (which appears when you type <nowiki>{{SITENAME}}</nowiki> and is the heading for all project namespace pages) can be changed from "Kingdom Hearts Wiki" to "Kingdom Hearts", since it's shorter and more manageable, and more standard to other Wikia wikis.  However, I told them I'd see if anyone has any objections.  So, anyone?  [[User:Scottch|Scottch]] 04:32, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

*Never mind, [http://www.wikia.com/index.php?title=Forum:SITENAME_change%3F&diff=61222&oldid=61220 someone brought up] a couple things that make it a bad idea.  [[User:Scottch|Scottch]] 04:50, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

== Huge thanks ==

Huge thanks to everyone who is helping expand the wiki! It's coming along great.  [[User:Scottch|Scottch]] 00:18, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

== IRC ==

I've set up an IRC channel for us at freenode (irc.freenode.net).  There's the main Wikia channel at #wikia, but now we have #khwiki.  If we oculd get together here and there, it'd be great!  [[User:Scottch|Scottch]] 10:46, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

== Deletion ==

I've started a page to propose things for deletion, like templates, categories and actual pages if need be.  It can be found at [[KHWiki:Pages for deletion]], so feel free to start listing things or commenting on other entries.  [[User:Scottch|Scottch]] 22:51, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

== Deleting copyright violations ==

We've chosen a great subject to wiki about, but there's one drawback: copyright.  Pretty much everything on here is copyrighted by the people who made the game.  We already have a massive number of images with NO sourcing info whatsoever.  Copyright violations can easily get out of hand on a media-oriented wiki like this.  Here's what I propose we do, and what I will start doing if I hear no objections:

== Images revisited ==

I hate to start griping again, but here goes anyhow.

== KHII: FM+ Additions ==

Retrieved from http://www.kingdomhearts3.net/

== Admin notes ==

I've taken a couple steps that I'd like feedback on, since as admin actions they can't be simply reverted:

== Final Fantasy Characters ==

It's almost sad, looking at Cloud Strife's page, all it sais is "Cloud is a character in kingdom hearts, from final fantasy vii." Why doesn't some one just "adopt" the pages from final fantasy wiki or regular Wikipedia, with permission. I would, but i don't remember how. Please add below, if you have any thoughts on the subject. -- Parad0x

*Well, it's still very much a growing wiki.  Ideally all content will be original eventually, but stuff can legally be copypasted if {{tname|wikipedia}} is added, however, adding original content would be far better.  '''''[[User:Scottch|<font color=#00cccc>Scott]]</font>[[User talk:Scottch|<font color=#ff9900>ch]]'''''</font> 03:08, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

== Ranked ==

We've been ranked #237 as of now in the [[wikia:wikis:List of Wikia wikis]], which lists the 250 biggest wikis (out of over 2000 wikis in Wikia).  Two months back, we had about 20 articles and were not much more than a start-up project.  Great going, guys!  '''''[[User:Scottch|<font color=#00cccc>Scott]]</font>[[User talk:Scottch|<font color=#ff9900>ch]]'''''</font> 22:42, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

== Naming conventions ==

Hey, just wanted to bring up a naming conventions issue, like with the Final Fantasy characters.  Specifically [[Squall]], which has been moved to [[Squall Leonheart]].  Wouldn't it make more sense to name him as "Leon", as he's called in game, instead of by what he's called in Final Fantasy games?  It seems like Kingdom Hearts info on him is far more relevant than Final Fantasy stuff.  '''''[[User:Scottch|<font color=#00cccc>Scott]]</font>[[User talk:Scottch|<font color=#ff9900>ch]]'''''</font> 02:09, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

*I agree, I think...  Maybe the whole name is better, maybe not.  I mean, Cloud Strife sounds better to me than Cloud, but Squall Leonheart sounds worse than Leon...  I guess I'm neutral.--[[User:Dreyfus2006|Dreyfus]] 05:01, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

== First block ==

Our first real block: I've blocked {{user|Bacon}} for 24 hours, he's taken the disagreements over the fates of [[Larxene]], [[Marluxia]] and others killed in Chain of Memories to a disruptive level, consistently adding "death" headers (after being reverted after changing one to "loss" and being reverted) and vandalizing the [[Larxene]] article.  If there's a lot of opposition to it I'll unblock.  '''''[[User:Scottch|<font color=#00cccc>Scott]]</font>[[User talk:Scottch|<font color=#ff9900>ch]]'''''</font> 05:50, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

== Popular pages ==

Has anyone noticed that the "most popular" pages on the new skin are just random articles?  I recently found out that sysops can program in what articles will show up; the idea being that we as a community decide which 5 articles we want to draw readers' attention to.  So what does everyone think we should put up there?

== Gaming wiki chat this Sunday! ==

Hi all,

== Job List? ==

Hey fellow KH peoples. I've been working on Lostpedia for quite some time and have just discovered the KH Wiki. I'd love to contribute, but where is your job list? [[User:PkmnTrainerJ|PkmnTrainerJ]] 01:29, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

==Help from your friendly neighbour==

Hi, I'm from the [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page Final Fantasy Wiki]. We've recently adopted the policy of '''Only FF Content Allowed''', and one of the moderators had the idea of transferring our KH content to the KH Wiki; thus, over the next few days (maybe even less) we'll be transferring some of the content from the FF Wiki to this Wiki. If you're okay with it, I think I'll even add in a few templates. Of course, we're only going to transfer the necessary content, that is, we're only going to transfer the content were needed. Cheers!
