Vsymbol.png Since the staffers aren't able to do this on their own, there are quite a few tasks that the community needs to partake in.

For starters, each and every single article on the Kingdom Hearts Wiki needs to be synched with its form on the original KH Wiki. The index included below contains all of the mainspace articles on this wiki.


Also, Kryten has asked me to inform you that ALL FAN-MADE IMAGES ON THIS WIKI ARE TO BE PUT UP FOR DELETION IMMEDIATELY. NO EXCEPTIONS. This includes the Days Bubble images, save for the ones used on the templates. The template images' fate is still being discussed. A separate host may be needed to support some of these images (such as a Photobucket account specifically for the Days bubble images).

Similarly, all images that are not under the file extension ".png" or ".gif" are to be re-uploaded or marked with the {{Bad Name}} template. All .gif images that are not animations are also in need of this.


These tasks, while not an immediate priority, need to be accomplished. Since there is no way a couple people can make this happen, your help is needed. It is suggested that groups or teams are made to tackle each of these problems separately. If the labor is split, it will go by much faster and more efficiently. With everyone's help, it will get done.

File Index

EDIT FROM KRYTENKORO: This list is missing the other namespaces.

Other links

Once a link is no longer needed, simply <s> it out, like so.

There you have it.

OathOblivTalkPic_zps6eebf78e.png Maybe my reading comprehension is low, but what do you mean by synching the articles? Didn't we just do a database dump?

TALK -
Yes, but there were many errors, especially within the Filespace.

To clarify:

  • Every article, in every namespace, will need to be synced. The best way to do this is for each person to "claim" one of the pages of the index, and make sure that every article on that page is the same on both wikis.
    • This also means that, if the khwiki has a page that was deleted from the wikia, it should be marked for deletion here as well. If the page didn't get created here, it should be copied from wikia.
    • If, when comparing the diffs of the wikia and the khwiki, there are differences, you need to go through each of them and make sure that they are correct. This means combing through the edit as if it was just made and you were patrolling for vandalism.

The move is not over until this audit is done.

Additionally, this is a great time to clean up our imagestacks.

  • All fan-made images, no exceptions, are to be marked for deletion. They can either be hosted on an imagehost, like photobucket, or on the wikia.
    • The fan-made images in templates should also be marked for deletion, but we need to find an imagehost for them that will be both safe and stable. This NEEDS TO BE DISCUSSED.
  • Any image that does not fall under the naming standard should be marked with the "Bad Name" template.
  • Any image which is not a .png or .gif, or is not an animated .gif, should be marked with the "Betterpic" template.

Again: THE MOVE IS NOT OVER UNTIL THIS AUDIT IS DONE. I absolutely, absolutely need the full cooperation of our userbase. If this task is left to just the staff, we could be stuck mid-move for up to a year.

Yes, this should have a signup list. There are still many of the indexes missing, too.

@17master - just fix the images under their current names on wikia, and if they are still misnamed, mark them with the "Bad Name" template.

17master - Hey, guys, check out my new camera!
TALK - Oh wait, this isn't a camera... - {{{time}}}
I'll be doing what Crono and Lilienne did, then.

Lilienne: if the file is .png but has a bad name, then {{bad name}} it is. And if it's .jpg with a bad name, then {{betterpic}} should be put as well.

20px-Pin_000.png I took the file images, from Keyblade Graveyard Logo to Libuelle, and I finished.

Okay, so I reported this glitch already, but anybody doing images should be aware: Many times, images may not appear, and when liscensing, categories, or templates are added to the page, they will also not appear, and the image will not be added to any categry imcluded in the templates. KRCCFNF is tired of being STEPPED ON. 11:02, 12 February 2011 (EST)

But the template is still there. If you choose edit, the code's still there, and if you choose preview, the template is there. Mobile sprite-shadowdance.pngThe17masterMobile sprite-shadowdizzy.png 11:28, 12 February 2011 (EST)
But the category, which is more important, is not there. Chitalian8 11:30, 12 February 2011 (EST)
Well... Is it possible for the categories to appear after the bug is fixed? Either way I should stop for now... just in case. Mobile sprite-shadowdance.pngThe17masterMobile sprite-shadowdizzy.png 11:48, 12 February 2011 (EST)

WAIT. Two things:

  1. You shouldn't need to stop, if the code is still there, it should be auto resolved when the issue is fixed.
  2. Guys, when you are going through the images, DON'T NOMINATE JPEGS THAT ARE BEING USED IN AN ARTICLE FOR DELETION. Those get the bad name template. I have seen several handfuls of mainspace use images marked for deletion already, but at the time I didn't think to revert the edits.

Lea Frisbee.png So images such as my talk bubble image over there <---- that I use for that and my Userpage are to be deleted? May I ask why because to be honest it seems a bit annoying. They're already working and I don't want to go and clutter my photobucket account with my talk bubble images. Is it a server space issue? Most the wiki seems to have transfered seamlessly. I've noticed some of my images aren't updated so I'll fix that.

20px-Pin_000.png I wouldn't think that one would be deleted, since it's not fanart. Models from the game are official material.

Out of curiosity, when are we going to reupload all the .jpg images?

Once all of the images have been sorted, so we know which ones are going to be deleted and which will be reuploaded. KRCCFNF is tired of being STEPPED ON. 20:51, 13 February 2011 (EST)

I believe it is. KRCCFNF is tired of being STEPPED ON. 16:00, 14 February 2011 (EST)

Questions. Does the Images need to be the same on the THIS wiki and the OLD wiki? Like, Search The image ON OLD WIKI, match it with the NEW WIKI photo? If it if different reupload the OLD WIKI photo? If all of these question answers are yes, I'll take UserSamurai.gif to Vanitas offering hand.jpg yAgIogp.pngANX219 17:45, 14 February 2011 (EST)

No. We are going through to make sure all of the images on the wiki are useful and adhere to the new image policy. As such, ALL user images (for talk bubbles, including ones from Days) need to be put up for deletion. All other unused or non- mainspace usable images must also be nominated for deletion. Finally, if a usable image is a jpeg, you should place the bad name template on it, so it will be reuploaded with the proper name and file type.

Guys... I was just going through the "images with bad names" category. Unless I am very wrong, all user images and usless or extremely low quality jpegs are not being kept. User jpgs and other, useless jpgs are to be marked for deletion, not to be reuploaded. KRCCFNF is tired of being STEPPED ON. 22:03, 14 February 2011 (EST)

TALK -
Okay, there was confusion on the IRC, so to clarify:

The only way to properly sync the pages is by copying all of the code from the wikia, pasting it in the khwiki version of the page, and clicking SHOW CHANGES. If there are any changes present, you are responsible for checking each of them for whether they should be included or not, as with regular RC-patrolling.

If you have not been using this method for your pages, you really need to go back and do them again.

For the image description page bug: please list it in the bug reports.

@iZerox: I think we can fairly well predict that the wikia will no longer have the no fanart rule - they have already started to relax that. As such, any fan-made image can be easily hosted on the wikia's servers, and embedded here. It's the same code I use for the cat pictures on my user page, which I actually host at the Digimon Wiki.

@Everybody: While going through the image description pages, also check for errors if you can. Part of this audit is that this is the only time when this could really be done well. Also, our images should match the wikia's image, IF that version is correct, and has not been replaced with something bad. If you are unsure whether to use the wikia version of an image or not, note it with

It is just a flawed specimen that has wandered out.
This article is in need of a better picture!

Images on this article are of poor quality and do not comply with the wiki's media policy. Please upload a better image.

Saïx B 6★ KHUX.png
, possibly, or note it at Forum:Move issues.

Templates for marking:

  • Betterpic - for any non .png or animated .gif images
  • Badname - for any images that don't fit under our naming scheme
  • Delete - for any fan images or unused images that cannot be used anywhere

These are not exclusive, and it is possible that an image has all three.

I'm very sorry I haven't been helping with this yet...I finally got to that "too busy at work to edit" part in my job, that I told you guys about in August. Heh.

KrytenKoro - Most bears were content to live their lives, mauling and eating one, maybe two humans at most. "Mass-murder," as the bears always said, "is for the sharks." But not Barry. Barry was different. He knew that one day, he would kill ALL of the humans. This is the inspiring, tear-jerking story of one bear and the dream he dared to dream.
