As your self-elected adviser, I think it would be wise to tell people how to apply for affiliation, kupo! You know, something in the lines of "If you'd like to affiliate with us, please contact this user / write at the affiliate discussion page or the community portal etc", kupo.
On a side note, the Square Wiki wishes to affiliate with KHWiki, kupo. We're already linking to the KHWiki at our main page,
Got it. Lucky you notified me... (and tomorrow I've got an exam paper at 9 in the morning, phew !). I think I'll need someone to take care of the PowerPoint card template for me during my 3-month absence. Anyone whom I should send it to ?
ETA : I sent the file to BebopKate for safekeeping. Gotta rush back to my books now. See you soon !

Kingdom Key
I'd like to inform everyone that our affiliate the Kingdom Key has changed their domain from IGN to here. That is all. BLUER一番 15:43, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
TKK is asking if we have an image that can be used to represent our site in their affiliates page, kupo! Anyone would like to suggest one? It's for the button to our site,
Ultima - Cake and grief counseling will be available at the conclusion of the test.
An affiliate would link back to its partner, would it not? As far as I'm concerned only two, or three, of the sites here linkback to the KHWiki. Would someone contact them on this matter, or should I just turn this page into "Kingdom Hearts Wiki: External Links"? BLUER一番 11:06, October 6, 2009 (UTC)
Seems like there's no motivation on the matter. I'm going ahead and rename this page, plus a few tweaks. BLUER一番 08:16, October 10, 2009 (UTC)
Wokay... Instead of 1 to 6, we only have 2, 4, 5 and 6 !
I guess we'll have to leave the remaining spaces for newer affiliates then ? TNÉEn avantBravo ! 12:35, October 10, 2009 (UTC)
You did them, didn't you? Awh, sorry. You could always upload a new file that removes the numbers. The numbers aren't necessary, I think. BLUER一番 16:58, October 13, 2009 (UTC)
I'll work on the files soon. ^_^ No worries, I'll remove the numbers and perhaps work on a new placeholder for the cards. TNÉEn avantBravo ! 21:31, October 13, 2009 (UTC)
KHES
Now I know I'm not in the position to speak for them, but Auror Andrachrome has been asking me if the Spanish KHW could be affiliated with us. They're asking for the same on KHFR.
Up to you guys. ^_^

I most certainly do not see why not; I have browsed the Spanish Kingdom Hearts Wiki several times since I really should use some of my Spanish knowledge over there, and it seems like a prospering wiki. Could you prepare another image, Troisnyxetienne?
Alright ! One more coming up ! I think we'll need a new row.
I'm as good as new! All my functions have been restored! • TroisNyxÉtienne — 04:28, May 26, 2010 (UTC)
Dead Fantasy Wiki
Organization 13 - If only the whispers at the top of the ladder carried to the bottom rung... TALK - Parley!
Couldn't we ask the http://deadfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Dead_Fantasy_Wiki to affiliate with us since it has Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy in it and the wiki is doing rather well? The Final Fantsy Wiki is affiliated with them too.
DoorToNothing — I dreamed last night... I got on the boat to Heaven!
And by some chance, I had brought my dice along! — 18:56, July 19, 2010 (UTC)
I offered them an affiliation here, hopefully they will reply quickly.
Dan - Hakuna Matata! What a wonderful phrase! ♫ — 11:38, July 22, 2010 (UTC)
The image needs some tweaking, but I think the Affiliate card should look something like this maybe?
Why have we affiliated with this wiki? The KH3 Fanon Wiki is completely devoid of any activity or improvement to itself, it just sits there collect dust. I am not expected any further enhancement to that wiki, since it has been around since February 2010, and has almost nothing to show for it. The wiki also does not link back to us, and most certainly does not display qualities of a good database of Kingdom Hearts-relevant information that we are trying to affiliate with. --DTN 18:44, July 19, 2010 (UTC)
I do think the KH3 Fanon Wiki will soon replicate the Kingdom Hearts Wiki. And it was not my decision to affiliate that Wiki with this one. I will talk to ZTG/TLE...Or, I think it was Trois that decided to affiliate the KH3 Fanon Wiki with this one. --史克威尔罗克斯 18:58, July 19, 2010 (UTC)
We certainly aren't seeking a replication for an affiliate, though. What we want is something with the same or a similar subject as the Kingdom Hearts Wiki, but does have something else to offer viewers when they click that "Related Sites" button. Right now, I see nothing the KH3 Fanon Wiki can offer them, or even the baseline of even one fanon story after its nearly six-month existence. In my opinion, these are obvious signs of a dead wiki. --DTN 19:09, July 19, 2010 (UTC)
I don't see why not. It's a wiki about Kingdom Hearts and thats what matters most in the end. --Charité 00:01, July 20, 2010 (UTC)
There are only two users now, but it's too early to decry it. Just like how it initially was for KHF and KHFrancophone. Of course, with KHFrancophone, Unbirth decided to make us affiliates when our to-be third admin, Thomaskh2, came along. Now KH3F may be far from even complete, but the fact remains that they're willing to be on the same subject, and that they've only got two active users. Dead or not, unlike a person, it can be revived. Also, I'm going with BK's decision which was posted in the archives. Even then the wiki was struggling. So I say keep it ! TROISNYX AMDG 00:40, July 20, 2010 (UTC)
Sadly, I agree with DTN here. That wiki is a failed state, with no mainspace, and no attempt to make one whatsoever. I think we should get rid of it. KKD
Dead wikis are dead. I agree with Doorsey. --SilverCrono 04:09, July 25, 2010 (UTC)
Falcos - You've done it, Ventus. TALK - Now that my body is about to perish... You and I will have to join together!
I personally don't think we should be affiliated with ANY fanon wiki... But a dead one? If it's dead, then deaffiliate it. If it happens to become active again later, then you can reaffiliate, if you like. You shouldn't stay affiliated with a site that is inactive.
LegoAlchemist - They changed "Snipe Magnet" to "Magnet Grab"? Who's translating this game, 4kids? TALK - Friendships are in direct contravention of mercenary conduct as delineated in your contracts, and on a personal note: I am very, very, disappointed with you.
We have one official Fanon Wiki. Let's leave it at that. We don't need the 3 Fanon on the affiliates list. I'm an admin there, and agree with the removal. Light 'em up.
Agree with DTN here. Wiki is dead, deaffiliate it.
BlackSoulBlade 04:15, July 25, 2010 (UTC)
"Didn't they test this talkbubble out before they released it?"
Didn't you test this affiliation out before you released it?
We did test it out, and when we did there was activity, albeit minimal. If everyone's okay on deleting it, and if we have more than a simple majority, I'm all for removing it. After all...... KHF is still as active as ever.

The Kingdom Key: Deaffiliation
I have recently seen The Kingdom Key after it has gone through its revamp. It is absolutely and in no way a Kingdom Kearts fansite any longer, or even anything remotely related to Kingdom Hearts. With the consensus of the community, I would like to request the immediate deaffiliation of The Kingdom Key and the Kingdom Hearts Wiki, since we no longer have anything in common to foster a connection. --DTN 18:55, July 19, 2010 (UTC)
Firstly, I agree as the link doesn't even work and I'm assuming that the site has been taken down. --Charité 19:09, July 19, 2010 (UTC)
Alright. Time to replace our number 6... I think. ^_^ TROISNYX AMDG 00:40, July 20, 2010 (UTC)
EDIT 00:44, July 20, 2010 (UTC) : Wait. From all the placeholder text I see, the site is still under reconstruction. For all you know that placeholder text will be replaced with KH stuff ? As for the tagline, it's not promising, but I recommend we wait until they update their content. The link is indeed working for me. TROISNYX AMDG
Weird, probaly a connection problem then, but it doesn't look like it's a kingdom hearts fansite anymore. --Charité 00:46, July 20, 2010 (UTC)
EDIT: Up until recently, The Kingdom Key has been a Kingdom Hearts fansite. When our community realized this label no longer reflected our interests, we decided to change and grow rather than die.
Yup, it's no longer a kingdom hearts fansite. --Charité 00:48, July 20, 2010 (UTC)
Okay, de-affiliate. TROISNYX AMDG 00:54, July 20, 2010 (UTC)
Yes, I would argee with said course of action. The first time I found a redirect explaining the move, I notified BK. Once I saw it "die" to the KH world, I told Kate again. I believe it should be removed effective immediatly. KRCCFNFistiredof beingSTEPPED ON.
I agreey with DTN....if the link links to a site that barrly talks of KHthen why be affiliated with it?--173.53.145.114 04:12, July 25, 2010 (UTC)
Card Numbers
Should I restructure them all over again ? TROISNYX AMDG 11:16, July 20, 2010 (UTC)
If it's no trouble, of course. BLUER一番 12:28, July 20, 2010 (UTC)
Okay. After Project Talksprite today, I'll get hold of the cards. TROISNYX AMDG 12:33, July 20, 2010 (UTC)
Any progress with the cards? Organization13 11:17, July 31, 2010 (UTC)
Mmmm..... I'm gonna do a quick reshuffle and save at least three today. When I do that, I must put a big UNDER RECONSTRUCTION note on the page proper. TROISNYX AMDG 11:37, July 31, 2010 (UTC)
Other Possible Affiliates
Organization 13 - I'd rather we just skip the formalities. TALK - How I love a game!
Other possible sites we could ask to affiliate with us:
DoorToNothing — I dreamed last night... I got on the boat to Heaven!
And by some chance, I had brought my dice along! — 21:51, July 31, 2010 (UTC)
Thank you, Organization 13. I'm not saying that any of those wikis would be bad affiliates, but we want to link to wikis that are associated with the subject of our wiki, Kingdom Hearts. Almost every single one of your suggestions is only transitively linked to Kingdom Hearts through Final Fantasy, which means that the link between subjects like Kingdom Hearts and Dragon Quest really just gets lost in that joint connection.
On the other hand, Disney Wiki seems like a definitely possible future affiliate, and affiliating with them may help us resolve the issue we have recent had with our... "shared" content. In addition, we should try to reach out to sites other than wikis! Lots of Kingdom Hearts fan and news sites exist out there. For example, Kingdom Hearts Insider, Kingdom Hearts Ultimania, and even KH-Vids.Net could all be great affiliates to us. Our only non-wiki affiliate is Heartstation, we should definitely expand on that.
We are already linked to the Wikia Gaming Hub - heck, we are under it, kupo! I agree on the Wikis made for Square Enix games, as that makes us part of the SE family, kupo. Also thumbs up to the affiliation with the Disney Wiki. As for Dead or Alive... no,
KHMedia Affiliation
Hey, I'm a staff member of a site called Kingdom Hearts Media, and I was wondering if we could affiliate with the KH Wikia. Here's the link:

Agreeable. We wait for you to link back to our site, and we'll add the link to yours. BLUER一番 14:15, August 4, 2010 (UTC)
Deaffiliating Heartstation.org
As of 4th August 2010, Heartstation.org does not link back to us. We should consider de-affiliation. Agreed? BLUER一番 14:15, August 4, 2010 (UTC)
Sounds like a plan. --LegoAlchemist 22:01, August 6, 2010 (UTC)
Okay, so on my return from work I'll work on the cards. There are two more logos left for me to do - KHMedia and Dead Fantasy, and then I'll have to get the cards coloured and done up. I'm not using my premade cards anymore ; I'm using the REC card bases. Only the colours are customised. TROISNYX AMDG 07:24, August 7, 2010 (UTC)

Since I have become admin at the Spyro wiki, I have been sending plenty of links to this wiki. The Spyro wiki will always make sure this wiki is on our affiliates. But is it okay if you do the same for us? We would be honnored if you do, y'know!

The sidebar says related sites. If we are going to allow non KH related wikis to be affiliates, we should consider changing that. Oh, and every link on the page is a double link (Under the cards and below them) KRCCFNFistiredof beingSTEPPED ON.
Unfaithful Affiliates
DoorToNothing — I dreamed last night... I got on the boat to Heaven!
And by some chance, I had brought my dice along! — 09:16, December 31, 2010 (UTC)
I just went through all of our affiliates to check that they are all linking back to the Kingdom Hearts Wiki. Shockingly, five four of them are not displaying the name or link at all.
Spanish Kingdom Hearts Wiki: Shows no display of us as an affiliate, yet they feature another affiliate, the Disney Wiki, in that space. I cannot find any link to this wiki over there.
Final Fantasy Wiki: This wiki supposedly has an affiliates page, though I cannot find it and it is not displayed on their front page or side bar. If we are linking to them with easy access through our front page, yet they are not providing the link to our wiki, we are not gaining anything from our affiliation.
Dead Fantasy Wiki: This wiki has an affiliates section on their main page... which we are not listed under. This could be a simple mistake, or a request to de-affiliate.
KH-Vids.Net: The last item in the left column on their front page is called "Affiliates" and lists all of theirs--though we are not listed.
In addition to this, GrandPyromania only links to us in his videos of his Kingdom Hearts "Let's Play!", and we are not mentioned anywhere else in his information. Our other YouTube affiliate links to us in their information box, which is a bit more convenient. Should we take action on this, or just let it fly since there is some form of linking (though it is small and diminutive)?
I suggest we contact these sites and allow a few weeks to a month to allow for them to add us to an affiliates listing or section. If this is not met, we have no choice but to end our affiliation.
17master - Hey, guys, check out my new camera! TALK - Oh wait, this isn't a camera... - {{{time}}}
I agree that we use diplomacy. Ask them the problem, ask them to put our link, if they refuse, cut off the affiliation. Simple as that.

Every other site shows their affiliates or a link to their affiliates directory on their main page. If FFWiki is not going to display that, they are making it extremely difficult for any of their viewers to find us. It surely will not be much trouble to add a short link to their front page, and I've sent Faethin a memo on the issue.
