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.

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.

Lilienne - "If the king doesn't lead, how can he expect his subordinates to follow?"
TALK - "Snow is white because it's forgotten the colour it's supposed to be." 00:15, 11 February 2011 (EST)

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

KrytenKoro - "Because I knew something he didn't. I knew that I was lying. Seriously, sir. 'No silicon heaven'? Where would all of the calculators go?"
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.

I am just telling you guys from now on that I'll be working my way up from "Birth by Sleep" to Auto Assult, as soon as all those pages are done, I'll move to the next index and so on.

17master - Hey, guys, check out my new camera!
TALK - Oh wait, this isn't a camera... - {{{time}}}

I'll be reuploading .jpg images starting from "Xaldin".jpg until Aladdin-ChOfMem.png ~~and possibly reupload them with appropriate names.~~

EDIT: I'll just leave the file names as it were.

In the case of the Talk Template Archive, whenever you're ready to have my pictures up for deletion (those which are still on the wiki), please earmark them — I'll need to either save them or remove them before I go any further.

Today you will be examined for the Mark of Mastery. • Trois Nyx Étienne — 06:21, 11 February 2011 (EST)

I'll try to sync the articles from Mufasa to Phil.
