Forum:KHW Twitter ?

Forums: Index > The World that Never was > KHW Twitter ?

So Bluerfn and I were discussing on Twitter after all the excitement and the #KH hashtags, and we came up with this crazy idea of starting a KHW Twitter page. But I'm hesitating because I need your feedback on lots of things. The Twitter page. Should we even have one ? If we are gonna have one, is it going to be solely for KHW or should KHFR and KHES join in too ? Regardless of whom it belongs to, who should handle the Twitter page ? Should there be a committee, or should the Staff handle it, or what ? Note that : The page can't be handled alone. Design issues, I can handle. Someone's gotta handle the outpouring of information. Given the info passed to me on KHDestiny.fr, I can handle KHD. But for other sources, there needs to be a number of people. And someone has to do the tweeting ! Time zones are to be discussed. Activity is not an issue despite there being limited information, because we can always tweet about wiki-related stuff, pages to help, whatnot. What we will be tweeting about : Feeds from other sites. Notable ones include KHInsider, GameInformer, KHDestiny, whatever else we can find which contains good official stuff. Game, video, OST and whatever releases related to KH. New LPs. Featured Articles, Media, Users, cleanups and all homepage-related things. Calling users for help. Featuring users' works and KH-related stuff that we find rather amusing (or heart-wrenching, whatever). If we have users fluent in Japanese, WE NEED YOU ! We'll try to tweet stuff from Nomura's KH blog, Message from the Kingdom as well. That's the place where all the official info comes FIRST HAND ! There's also KH's official Twitter page, so we follow that too. Asking users for feedback. Forum posts of major importance, or in KHFR's case, discussions of major importance. New functions. Competitions, if any. Celebrations, if any. Is there anything else I might've left out ? Regardless, I'd like your feedback on this, please. ^_^ Helping others always comes before asking others for help. • TroisNyxÉtienne — 05:27, September 7, 2010 (UTC)

Feedback

maggosh The steel is forged... — "Souls as far as the eye can see..." "If you want light to rule over all, then you must rid the world of everything else." I like this idea. I think it should be followed through. Novel idea, troisnyx! ^_^

Bluer says at 05:55, September 7, 2010 (UTC) Yes, provided we have users with Twitter and can attract editors through our tweets.

iZerox I'm enjoying this. you guys are something else! — 06:15, September 7, 2010 (UTC) I think it's a great idea. Though I don't have a twitter myself so I doubt I'll be much help here.

UxieLover1994 Tiempo de morder de nuevo con el poder! El tema de hoy: su sorpresa! — 06:19, September 7, 2010 (UTC) Es una buena idea, TNE! I like it! We should get this wiki it's own Twitter account. (Y sí, las versiones españolas y francesas pueden compartirla así!) EDIT: It can be a great idea to gaing more hep and such. TNE, I thank you for the idea!

SilverCrono Well, I can tell who you are. — "Looks like you're prepared." "What is with you and picking up stray puppies?" This looks cool. Let me know if I can do anything.

Pea14733 Heal! — 11:10, September 7, 2010 (UTC) That's cool! *pops his Party Popper* we have a FB page and now we have a Twitter! :D

GrandPyromania Carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero. 11:24, September 7, 2010 (UTC) As I told you on Twitter already, I say it's a great idea!

C'est magnifique!. This would actually be a good reason for me to start Tweeting (altough, due to my parents constant fear of the internet dangers, I'll have to create a twitter that keep my anonymosity. It's no problem at all.)... And maybe I could see with Xabryn, if he wants the portuguese Wiki to be part of it too... not that I edit there much EDIT: I just made a Twitter for the sake of this: Diabolic_Seraph AGAIN WITH PARADOX AND DUALISM! Demonic Saint Yeah, we gotta go help our friends out first. — 12:15, September 7, 2010 (UTC)

Unbirth Discussion — Et moi, Jack, L'EPOUVANTAIL ! Ils me trouvent génial, mes mauvais tours les émerveillent, tous les ans c'est le triomphe et la gloire. Why not, it would be useful for informations and help to expand each wiki's influence. I don't know much about Tweeter, I don't have one, but I can handle writing some french texts (or translating english ones into french).

LevL Fear my mighty instruments! — 13:26, September 7, 2010 (UTC) I really like this idea.

UxieLover1994 Tiempo de morder de nuevo con el poder! El tema de hoy: su sorpresa! — 13:35, September 7, 2010 (UTC) I have informed the Spanish wiki. They have not got back to me, yet.

Xabryn - I don't care if you're real!You're not better! TALK - It's nice to have darkness on my side.13:45, September 7, 2010 (UTC) It is a great idea Trois, I probably won't be much of a help since I don't have a Twitter

ShardofTruth Once you believe, truth and lie are quite the same thing. — 13:58, September 7, 2010 (UTC) I don't tweet myself and use Twitter only in some rare cases but I still think that's a good idea. I'm also fine if KHW, KHFR and KHES share one account, because most of the news (especially if they are coming from a Japanese source) affect them all. Most tweets are short and concise, therefore only a very small group of members is needed to write them, because larger committees result in more and longer discussions about the tweet.

A capital idea. However, due to the wishes of my parents, I don't go on facebook or twitter, so count me out on this one. KKD

I'd have to agree with KKD. I don't like the idea...My friend has Facebook stalkers...(shudders)...so I don't have a Facebook or a Twitter. So I say no...-- ^Axel Lives _On 15:09, September 7, 2010 (UTC)

No.i - I'm Ventus. Call me Ven. TALK - Leave this to me! ~ 15:18, September 7, 2010 (UTC) It sounds like a good idea to me. I don't have a twitter so I can't help but more power to you.

Another thing I forgot to mention : if we create a Twitter account, we are not tweeting as an individual. We are tweeting as the Kingdom Hearts Wiki Network. Which means there is no literal stalking, really. We're going to have more than one person handle the account, so it's just like people following feed from Square Enix or a similar organisation. Stalking is not an issue. Flaming is, though, but it happens everywhere (even here). Helping others always comes before asking others for help. • TroisNyxÉtienne — 15:27, September 7, 2010 (UTC)

Neumannz — Looks like I'm gonna have to jump...! TALK — I work alone! Except when I work with Xion...which is all the time. — 15:31, September 7, 2010 (UTC)   Well, I've never used Twitter myself, but this sounds like a pretty cool idea, so I say go for it.

Well, I dislike Twitter myself, but I won't be the one using it, so it's all good. Randomnessity I, Garland, will knock you all down!

Erry - Let me think about it. TALK - Scherzo Di Notte ~ {{{time}}} I think it's great idea, I've personally used Twitter before and I'm good with it.

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. — 18:46, September 7, 2010 (UTC) I think it is a great idea, but we need enough people that have Twitters. Looking at past comments, I can see that many people do not have Twitters, myself included.

Provisory page ideas

Largely positive response thus far, thanks to all who gave feedback, positive or otherwise. ^_^ Now, this is what I currently have in mind, and I need feedback for this as well. Our username will be wikia-kingdomhearts (if there are enough characters). If not, we might have to consider shortening the username. (EDIT 15:42, September 7, 2010 (UTC) : wikia-kingdomhearts is too long, kingdomhearts is already taken. The username stops at "wikia-kingdomhe", so consider shortening to that amount of characters please.) (EDIT 15:45, September 7, 2010 (UTC) : Unbirth coined the name "KingdomHeartsWK", whilst GrandPyromania coined "KHWikia" ; thoughts ?) (EDIT 15:51, September 7, 2010 (UTC) : The current standing is KHWiki - 1, KHWikia - 1, KingdomHeartsWK - 2. Decide !) I have provisory background ideas on this page. Bear in mind that the BGs can be changed to celebrate occasions, and I had Precious Stars in the Sky, as well as BBS, in mind, when I created this thing. Page colours will come accordingly. We need to select a few people in charge of their respective departments. Whatever info can be found. Staff and regulars who wish to help, please tell me where you are able to help. If you can speak Japanese, it's a plus. Helping others always comes before asking others for help. • TroisNyxÉtienne — 15:36, September 7, 2010 (UTC)

I would love to help. But I don't know how exactly (Since I speak nothing of Japanese and my abilities to find info a scarce). Plus... wouldn't KHWiki be better as a username? You already know my opinion about the BG: Maybe a dark blue... or that weird pink color the hearts have. Or black, filled with white sparks. EDIT15:51, September 7, 2010 (UTC): KingdomHeartsWK is nice too, but I think that the shorter, the simpler, is better. Demonic Saint Yeah, we gotta go help our friends out first. — 15:47, September 7, 2010 (UTC)

D.Dark - Master of lame names! TALK - D.Dark. 15:59, September 7, 2010 (UTC) KHWikia sounds better then KingdomHeartsWK. BTW great idea, I will be sure to follow and try to help as much as possible if I can that is.

Wolf - ... TALK - ... I want to help with as much as i can don't know what but i will try to help also i think KHWiki or KHWikia is good.

Bluer says at 16:01, September 7, 2010 (UTC) I always liked KHWiki, particularly to make it sound like we're the ONLY kingdom hearts wiki out there, not just in Wikia.

Pea14733 Wind! — 16:03, September 7, 2010 (UTC) I vote for KHWiki. And I can read only Katakana and Hiragana in Japanese. Also, it'd be great if we change the theme to fit every game. Like, this month is BbS and next month will be Re:coded (?)

Good idea, Pea. KHWiki it is. I shall upload the provisory background until I find a substitute. Helping others always comes before asking others for help. • TroisNyxÉtienne — 16:04, September 7, 2010 (UTC)

D.Dark - Master of lame names! TALK - D.Dark. 16:07, September 7, 2010 (UTC) Great! You gotta give us the link when its ready!

I will. EDIT 16:16, September 7, 2010 (UTC) : Presenting [http://twitter.com/KHWiki Kingdom Hearts Wiki's Twitter Page ! Thoughts ? I'm as good as new! All my functions have been restored! • TroisNyxÉtienne — 16:09, September 7, 2010 (UTC)

Amazing! Liked the avatar! How will the management work? Everyone helping will have access to the password? You know... seeing the Black BG there... it's not that bad. I like it for some reason. Demonic Saint Yeah! You gotta be funny, like us! — 16:18, September 7, 2010 (UTC)

D.Dark - Master of lame names! TALK - D.Dark. 16:24, September 7, 2010 (UTC) Love the avvie! Followed and tweeted my followers that are KH fans to follow.

Pea14733 Heal! — 16:26, September 7, 2010 (UTC) Like it. :D

First, let us determine who does what. And then we'll hand over the username and password and login details. Helping others always comes before asking others for help. • TroisNyxÉtienne — 16:30, September 7, 2010 (UTC)

Dan - What's going on? Everything's black and white. — 16:34, September 7, 2010 (UTC) I'm a little late, it seems... Looks awesome! =D

Merci ! Would you like to chip in ? It is rather funny what I would do for honey. • TroisNyxÉtienne — 16:40, September 7, 2010 (UTC)

Dan - What's going on? Everything's black and white. — 16:51, September 7, 2010 (UTC) Sure, I'll give it a shot. Might need some time to get used to Twitter first, though. =P

If anyone needs any help whatsoever in tweeting, RTing, creating lists, following and whatnot, I'm here to receive your questions. Helping others always comes before asking others for help. • TroisNyxÉtienne — 16:57, September 7, 2010 (UTC)

Panel discussion

Unbirth and I can handle KHFR-related stuff. I can handle user content and whatever else gets in my way. We need people to handle the newsfeeds, official info, wiki info, uploads, fave pictures, walkthroughs, LPs, whatever floats our boat. So, please gather together, elect a panel. Staff and regulars are invited. ^_^ Kindly edit the page for login details. Also, please tell me who among you would like to join in the project. Helping others always comes before asking others for help. • TroisNyxÉtienne — 16:30, September 7, 2010 (UTC)

What wiki info would be? If it is what I think it is maybe I could help... Demonic Saint We're outsiders, so wouldn't that be muddling? — 16:37, September 7, 2010 (UTC)

Projects, stubs, FAs, FUs, FMedia, hot forum topics, stuff that goes into the Trinity Rept, Mirage Arena, new developments, whatnot. Helping others always comes before asking others for help. • TroisNyxÉtienne — 16:40, September 7, 2010 (UTC)

Hmmm... with that I could gladly help! ^_^User:Redeemer & Destroyer/Sig16:43, September 7, 2010 (UTC)

Also, can someone please login now ? In 15mn I'll be signing out (as TroisNyxEtienne), and I need someone to tend to KHW's Twitter at least for the KHW bit. I'll handle KHFR at about the time I usually log in at night. TROISNYX AMDG 16:46, September 7, 2010 (UTC)

GrandPyromania Carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero. 16:47, September 7, 2010 (UTC) Depending on what you mean by the LPs, I can handle that part. Like if it's to inform everyone following, that a new episode of Kingdom Hearts is now up, then of course I can tweet that, as I do normally on my twitter.

Okay, if you're notifying from your page, then KHW will have to RT (retweet) your entry. After all, it's your LP. We're sort of a broadcaster, and the only bits of first-hand information coming from us are wiki-related. That means newsfeeds are all RT'ed. Unless we come across them before anyone else. Helping others always comes before asking others for help. • TroisNyxÉtienne — 16:53, September 7, 2010 (UTC)

LevL Fear my mighty instruments! — 17:14, September 7, 2010 (UTC) I think I can help as well.

MelodiousNature - "It's Not what you Say, that Judges you as a Person - It's What you Do." TALK - 20:13, September 7, 2010 (UTC) I really like this twitter idea, it's quite revolutionary!

D.Dark - Master of lame names! TALK - D.Dark. 20:16, September 7, 2010 (UTC) Me (and perhaps Falco) can handle the written walktrough part since we are the ones writing them (at the moment).

Hangon - Hello, good day to you all. TALK - Hello there, I like pie.-7:13 Hey TNE what's up, and thanks for inviting me here.( Sorry I'm off so much)

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!" Oh my... it seems I'm late for tea... Sorry I wasn't here sooner, you know, school, work. etc. Anyway, I would love to help out. I'm not sure with what, though. Possibly Featured User? Something else? My Japanese is almost completely faded from memory, so I can't help there. Seriously though. If anybody wants me to do something particular, I'll try my best.

DoorToNothing — I dreamed last night... I got on the boat to Heaven! And by some chance, I had brought my dice along! — 02:47, September 8, 2010 (UTC) I have no problem with a KHWiki Twitter. T'was an awesome idea, Troisnyxetienne. What I do have a problem with is who it is in the hands of right now. Just by looking through the recent tweets, I am seeing very odd and unformal tweets that are being posted in rapid succession, which doesn't exactly reflect an organized wiki well. I would strongly suggest putting only the KHWiki staff, or even just the admins, since we have plenty of admins, some of which who are familiar with Twattering Twitter. Mentioning the "wrath of MX", "BOO RAY", "DTN's weird obsession" (which quite frankly shouldn't have been posted), "Yyyyyeeeeeehhhhh :D", and 20+ YouTube links spammed on the channel. All of this is absolutely unnecesary. Really guys, it should be common sense to not use memes and emoticons on the KHWiki's Twitter account. You know what, let's just go with staffers/admins, it should be pretty clear that this is the way to go.

maggosh Nothing can destroy the Doctor! — "The Doctor doesn't pay, and he doesn't worry." "If you want trouble - *breaks windshield* - then you just keep coming on!" You're just upset that Room Core is losing.

DoorToNothing — I dreamed last night... I got on the boat to Heaven! And by some chance, I had brought my dice along! — 02:56, September 8, 2010 (UTC) Maggosh, your strawmanning and off-topic dicussion is unnecessary and uncalled for. Quite frankly, I'm not personally affected by that post, because a) I'm just going to nominate Room Core another month if it loses, and b) whether the image is winning or losing, having a post say that one of the admins has a weird obsessions is not polite, nor it is acceptable behavior to post about one user from another without direct permission from the editor being spoken of. Please keep your messages on-topic, or I will not resist protecting this page so that only admins can edit so, preventing irrelevant chat from taking place like yours. Either leave an actual opinion, or don't even bother clicked "Edit this page". This applies to everyone. I promise, it really is that simple, all it takes is the ability to restrain yourself from making a fool of yourself on a very serious forum.
