Kingdom Key KHD.png What is our policy on the characters we include in these? It is incredibly inconsistent across the Wiki; some pages list only residents, while others list every character who visits. I am of the opinion that we only list the former...

I think we should list all characters. Listing residents only might be the easier option for Disney worlds, but what about original ones? Do the Organization members at Castle Oblivion count as residents or visitors? And what about in KH3? What is considered their residence there? And it makes sense that when Xaldin is a major character and boss in a Disney world, he is considered one of the characters in that world. On the other hand, it seems unnecessary to put Sora, Donald, and Goofy on almost all world pages.

Foudre KHD.png If we must list visitors, as well, we must be sure to list them all (including Sora and company), for consistency. Some articles pick and choose which visitors to include, if any. What if we did different tabs for residents and visitors, respectively? That way, it wouldn't look like Xaldin is native to Beast's Castle, and so-on...

Mightn't we separate these into "natives" and "visitors"/"immigrants"? And maybe we could go for a more compact arrangement, the galleries get pretty big. There's also a bit of a difference between Alice, who is from a different world than Wonderland but is fairly well settled, and Young Xehanort in Toy Box, who is just being a dick.

I would say to start we should focus on residents, and take the perspective of what each individual would consider themselves. So for example, Sora and co. don't think of themselves as part of each world they visit, but Roxas does legitimately think he belongs in Twilight Town in KH2 and thus could be considered a resident. Same with Ansem the Wise and Namine, who live there for nearly a year.

Just my opinion though, that does require less strict guidelines and leaves more up for interpretation then the other options.

If we're splitting by residents and visitors, we still have to decide what counts as resident. For example, do Leon and gang count as residents of Traverse Town? They live there for years, but their true home is Radiant Garden. Or what about Mickey in CotM? He says he's not from that world, so that would make him a visitor, but he's from the movie that the world is based on. I think it's better to not split in tabs. The characters section shouldn't be seen as people living in this world, but as people appearing in this world.

For the galleries, we could try making the images smaller.

Graceful Dahlia KHD.png Regardless of what we decide, I only ask that it be enforced on all relevant pages, and that we stay consistent across the Wiki. Also, when making the final decision, remember we have two audiences here: people who play the games, and people who do not/are trying to get into them. It may be common knowledge that Xaldin isn't a native of Beast's Castle to us, but newcomers may see the gallery as it currently is and think, "Who is this guy, and why is he living with the Beast?" We've got some thinking to do before we move forward with an official policy, but I'm confident we will reach a verdict soon!

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.

Also, which images should be used? Agrabah uses the KH3 image for Pete, but uses the KHX images for Mega-Shadow and Powerwild. What's the deal here?
