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.

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 - "That's when we bumped into Hannity. Sean Hannity. See the thing about this dude is, at first he's fair, right? And you're like "Wow!" But then BOOM. The dude's balanced, too. And you're like, HOLY SHIT." 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.

Erry - Deep Drive TALK - Moon shine down. ~ 02:19, 11 February 2011 (EST) 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. • TroisNyxÉtienne — 06:21, 11 February 2011 (EST)

LevL Fear my mighty instruments! — 10:53, 11 February 2011 (EST) I'll try to sync the articles from Mufasa to Phil.

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. And I'll tackle "Lingering Sentiment to Mickey Mouse" when I get home this afternoon. Should we perhaps put people's names next to the respective indexes, just to clarify who's already doing what?

LevL Fear my mighty instruments! — 15:27, 11 February 2011 (EST) I agree, that would make it much clearer what's already being taken care of and what still has to be done.

KrytenKoro - "That's when we bumped into Hannity. Sean Hannity. See the thing about this dude is, at first he's fair, right? And you're like "Wow!" But then BOOM. The dude's balanced, too. And you're like, HOLY SHIT." TALK - 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.

AS IF! The world is garbage! CRUNCH! Err... I have a ton of work to do, but I'll help out if I can. I'll try to sync the World That Never Was to X-Blade articles, but I can't make any promises.

KrytenKoro - "Hey, I want to settle down. And as soon as I find the right small group of girls, the seven or eight women who are right for me, my wandering days are over, buddy." TALK - The Xehanort's Report - X-Blade index is for images, though. Everybody, make sure you're using the index links provided. Also, I left a notice on 17master's page explaining the issue, but the files he uploaded will all need to be redone, with the current versions deleted to make space.

Organization 13 - I'd rather we just skip the formalities. TALK - How I love a game! Same as As If, I have stuff to do but I'll try doing Card Break to Cure Potion.

AS IF! The world is garbage! CRUNCH! Alright! Now, I'll do the "Fairy Stars (Aqua)" image section.

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. Alrighty, just put your name next to the index you are going to cover. I'll get started on mine now.

I'm focusing on going through the images that are not licensed/categorized. Also, if I see an image that breaks our image policy, it's deleted. (I mean images that don't pertain to Kingdom Hearts and are just to make user pages look different. Use photobucket, people!) Xion4ever Who am I? — 19:21, 11 February 2011 (EST)

The Inexistent - Pitiful users, mindlessly collecting information. The rage of an edit releases this knowledge, and they all come together, to form: The Wiki!!! TALK - And on the Wiki these words appear: "My name is The_Inexistent, user of users: Look upon my edits, ye Mighty, and despair!" I signed up, but I'll have to start tomorrow morning. Also, delete my images anytime you want. They are good to go, I hope.

SilverCrono Well, I can tell who you are. — "Looks like you're prepared." "What is with you and picking up stray puppies?" — 00:04, 12 February 2011 (EST) I'll be doing the images. I've already got a few done; for the record, all I'm doing is adding {{Bad Name}} to each of the .jpg images.

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." 00:51, 12 February 2011 (EST) I'll do Rafe Truffle HT.png to SantaSora.jpg (marking them for deletion or better names/formats). Should I add {{Bad Name}} or {{Betterpic}} to the jpgs?

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.

Dan - My friends are my power! — 05:03, 12 February 2011 (EST) Just to be sure, "synching" just means "make sure the pages on this site look the same as the ones on the wikia site", right?

Organization 13 - I'd rather we just skip the formalities. TALK - How I love a game! I think so, ya, Dan.

Dan - My friends are my power! — 09:07, 12 February 2011 (EST) Alright, I'll take Auto Brave to Card Soldiers then. =)

Chitalian8 Say... — Only by allowing strangers in can we find new ways to be ourselves. Life's little crossroads are often as simple as the pull of a trigger. — 09:56, 12 February 2011 (EST) 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. ^{What mattered most} _{was remembered least} 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. ^{What mattered most} _{was remembered least} 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.

iZerox "Take a look at this tiny place. To the heart seeking freedom, this island is a prison surrounded by water. And so this boy sought out to escape from his prison. He sought a way to cross over into other worlds and he opened his heart to darkness." — 23:05, 12 February 2011 (EST) 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.

Chitalian8 Say... — And here's me, playing the world's tiniest violin. Your face is priceless. — 23:35, 12 February 2011 (EST) I wouldn't think that one would be deleted, since it's not fanart. Models from the game are official material.

This is not the place for that discussion. --Neumannz, The Dark Falcon 23:38, 12 February 2011 (EST)

AS IF! The world is garbage! CRUNCH! 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)

Mega Sword-chucks Dr. Light's Lab Talk Page — I let the Mega-Buster do the talking. Sorry, am I too blue for you?— 22:35, 13 February 2011 (EST) Done with the "Stat Matrix-Command Expansion ~ The Queen". Moving on to the "Sora Heartless (phase 2) ~ Stat Matrix-CP cheat." EDIT: Done with "Sora Heartless (phase 2) ~ Stat Matrix-CP cheat." Moving on to "VCast ~ Xehanort Painting." EDIT: Done with "Vcast ~ Xehanort Heartless."

CaelumLucisCaliga Talk! - Join the Darkness. We have cookies. Dark Chocolate Chip Cookies! — 22:42, 13 February 2011 (EST) I'll handle Dragoon Nobody to Fire Arts! :)

Soxra - Don't MESS with street rats! Talk to me! - Soxxeh 6:48pm, February 14, 2011 (UTC) Dibs on Mickey Mouse (D-Link) to Mrs. Potts. EDIT: Done. PS: This edit was made on the former Wiki, but I'm not sure it's correct. Can someone verify?

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 ANX219 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. KRCCFNF is tired of being STEPPED ON. 19:43, 14 February 2011 (EST)

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)

KrytenKoro - Pinocchio with his nose attached to the trigger of a rifle, which points at his face as he says, "I want to live!" 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. , 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 - "Give a man a fire and he's warm for the day. But set fire to him and he's warm for the rest of his life." TALK - IF YOU UPLOAD A NEW VERSION OF AN IMAGE AND IT DOESN'T TAKE, PLEASE MARK IT WITH Category:Upload issues.

17master - Hey, guys, check out my new camera! TALK - Oh wait, this isn't a camera... - {{{time}}} back to work, I'll be doing Goofy BBS.png - Herc's Shield.png EDIT: done.

LevL Fear my mighty instruments! — 08:32, 21 February 2011 (EST) I have two questions: .PNG is not the same as .png, right? So .PNG images should also have the betterpic template, or am I completely wrong? If a file has already been put up for deletion, does it still need the betterpic or bad name templates?

Soxra - Surely you must've known that this was going to happen. Have something to say...? - Soxxeh 10:46pm, February 23, 2011 (UTC) PNG and png are the same. Extensions work identically regardless of capitalization. For consistency's sake, they should all be the same, but it doesn't particularly matter for functionality.

LapisScarab - You accept darkness, yet choose to live in the light. So why is it that you loathe us who teeter on the edge of nothing? We who were turned away by both light and dark - never given a choice? TALK - That may be... however, what other choice might we have had? So... yeah... I'm buried in papers I need to write (and there's no way I can finish all of them on time), combined with the computer problems I won't shut up about. I'm probably not going to be able to get back to this any time soon, so someone'll need to tak the rest of my chunk of synching. I had Fire Bangle through HP Prize Plus, and managed to get through Fire Bangle to Gauntlets (going down the list vertically). Sorry, I wish I could be more help right now.

Soxra - Surely you must've known that this was going to happen. Have something to say...? - Soxxeh 3:18am, February 25, 2011 (UTC) I will take care of Lapis's missed content, then sort together a Template and Card list.

Soxra - Behold! For my very existence refutes the will of the gods! I am a will unto my own, a power that shakes the very foundation of creation! Talk to me! - Soxxeh 4:01am, February 25, 2011 (UTC) I have finished Lapis's section, and all articles are now copied or better on this Wiki than the old one. (Some have differing content, but most are newer here, and all are better.) Alright, as per Kryten's request, we have to manually sync Templates and Cards as well. I'll take care of the Cards myself, and put up a list of the Template sections that need to be done. Just like the one above, users can claim sections and strike them out as they are finished. Cards A-Z - Soxxeh ! to FriendSER - Friend NinjaSheik to Niko - LapisScarab NimbleGear to User Agrabah - User Al1996 to User Sora Quote - User Sora Theme to UserfriendDE13 - UserfriendDarkheart3 to ~Soralover101~ -

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. Finished the first column of the last index page incomplete. Erry is working on the middle column, and it would be great if someone else could do the last one. We actually might get this done.

The Inexistent - All the world's a puzzle, and I the one who made it so... TALK - EVIL has come... at last... Arg. I was planning on doing this tomorrow, but it appears that I may not be here. I have crossed off my name on the list. My apologies.

KrytenKoro - "An education was a bit like a communicable sexual disease. It made you unsuitable for a lot of jobs and then you had the urge to pass it on." TALK - As we are about to start moving into the userspace, I'd like to start talking about walkthroughs. There has been some definite interest in setting up official walkthroughs for each game, similar to what bulbapedia has. I think the first step in writing those (barring the obvious setup of the "Walkthrough"-space, is to cannibalize the existing walkthroughs found in the userspace. So, if you find a walkthrough while auditing the user and usertalk spaces, please mark it with [[Category:Walkthrough]]. Once we have the space set up, we can compile the drafts for each game, and start working on the cannibalization. Woooo.
