::I get that, but would it be okay to have the part about it being mentioned in DuckTales, at least?

:::The problem with sea-salt ice cream is that it isn't exclusive to KH, so it's hard to tell if it's a reference or not. However, since we also mention it in the KH references in other media page, I guess it's fine to add it under an Other appearances section.
:::As for those photos, they aren't related to KH. They show sea-salt ice cream, but not in the way it is shown in the series. {{User:TheSilentHero/Sig}} 11:12, 29 May 2022 (UTC)
::::Yes, sea-salt ice cream exists out of KH, but considering they said it's specifically Scrooge's favorite dessert, it has to be a KH reference.
::::They're not the same exact sea-salt ice cream in the series, but they ''are'' the real world version from Tokyo DisneySea that inspired Nomura to add the food to the games. That's not relevant? --[[User:Mikoto|Mikoto]] ([[User talk:Mikoto|talk]]) 23:51, 29 May 2022 (UTC)
:::::In my opinion, it's not relevant. But if you want, you can ask for more opinions on the talk page or the Discord. {{User:TheSilentHero/Sig}} 17:07, 30 May 2022 (UTC)
==Soul Eater Question==
I checked both my copies of Chain of Memories and Re:Chain of Memories and unlike Jiminy's Journal, the D-Report does have a Strike ranking (which is understandable why due to the difference in gameplay). Do you think we can remove that from the [[Soul Eater]] page as the D+ ranking does not come from an official source? -[[User:Adv193|Adv193]] ([[User talk:Adv193|talk]]) 17:31, 23 July 2022 (UTC)
:I just checked the Ultimania, and it actually has stats for the Soul Eater. Not just Strike, but the others as well. So I'll add those to the page. {{User:TheSilentHero/Sig}} 17:41, 23 July 2022 (UTC)
== Username change ==
Hello, I am a user from the old wiki and formerly served as an ambassador between; currently on the original wiki, I've changed my name and would like to change my username here for consistency. Would you happen to know if this is possible, and whom would I ask to update my username? Thanks! <span style="color:silver; font-style:italic;font-family:Times New Roman; text-shadow: 1px 1px 1px MidnightBlue;">The Silver wings of night</span> 00:35, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
:Hi there. It sure is possible, and you've come to the right person for it. Just let me know what you want your new username to be and I'll change it. {{User:TheSilentHero/Sig}} 08:13, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
::Thank you! I would like my new username to be Nightsilver.<span style="color:silver; font-style:italic;font-family:Times New Roman; text-shadow: 1px 1px 1px MidnightBlue;">The Silver wings of night</span> 19:52, 31 August 2022 (UTC)

== Let's have a quick talk ==
Hi.
<br>
So, you obviously saw my edit summary deleting my talk page. Believe me when I say that I ''get'' it's a rule. That said, I reiterate that that isn't particularly a concern of mine when it comes to this. As someone with moderating experience elsewhere (not necessarily on a fan wiki), I have to pose the question, and I ask sincerely - can you consider using discretion to cast aside "typical procedure", for lack of a better term, if in fact, such a thing has no value?
<br>
I realize it's a big ask to place your trust in me when I explain that I've come here after nearly a decade of inactivity (feel free to check my contributions) with the sole intent of tying some loose ends and erasing some embarrassments from my childhood. Or maybe you can believe that and you don't really care. But naturally, the question that pops up is this: what benefit does it give an independently run Kingdom Hearts fan wiki to retain old talk page messages from someone who was a child at the time (and really should not have had an account here), and what would it lose in terms of serving its purpose - IE, a collection of information on Kingdom Hearts - if a talk page maybe five or six people in the world are aware exists? One of whom is actively bothered by its existence as a reminder of a time I was acting as a petulant child.
<br>
Of course, I will defer to your decision if you decide that everything must be played exactly by the book, to the letter of the law. I could go on some rambling essay begging for some jury nullification, but the only other thing I'll say is that in my experience, it's often just as much, if not more, of a meaningful but weighted decision to be made when you choose whether a rule, however large or small, can be overlooked on rare occasion.
<br>
As I said, whatever decision you make, I'll abide by that. I hope your day finds you well.
<br>

:Hi there. Sorry for the late reply, but I figured I'd discuss this with some other staff members first. And while we get that some things in the past are embarrassing, we do think it's better to stick to our policy. {{User:TheSilentHero/Sig}} 17:00, 18 September 2022 (UTC)
:There is also nothing on your talk page that reveal your private identity, so no one should really be able to trace that talk page back to whoever you are. Also, even if we were to clear your talk page everything would still be accessible by going through the page's history anyways, unfortunately. I doubt anybody you know IRL or online will ever go to your talk page and judge it; let alone find it. And if anybody judges you for things you did/said as a child/teen then to hell with them. - {{User:JTD95/Signature}} 18:13, 18 September 2022 (UTC)
::Very well. I suppose the rationale given by both of you is fair enough, and as I said, though I wish it were otherwise and I could just bury it completely, I will comply. Though I ''am'' admittedly surprised this was considered something worthy of discussion among staff. I suppose I'm flattered. That's at least a step up from "this kid is trolling the site. Why should we not permaban him?" At any rate, I wish you well. Thank you for your time and consideration - Mar 00:16, 19 September 2022 (UTC)
== "Re:coded" romaji field ==
Hi, the way you're doing things makes it seem like the "Re" in "Re:coded" is pronounced as れ in Japanese when it's actually pronounced り. When you combine English with romaji, it's no longer a romaji field. I went and checked other games and most of them have the same issue. I also think you should follow what Wikipedia does with romaji for games like KH II and III. I hope my point came across. --[[User:Zeta|Zeta]] ([[User talk:Zeta|talk]]) 00:03, 4 February 2023 (UTC)
:I get where you're coming from, but the way I see it, romaji isn't showing pronunciation, but how something is written in Latin/Roman characters. That's why we don't change anything that's already written in Latin/Roman characters, or numbers. {{User:TheSilentHero/Sig}} 12:33, 4 February 2023 (UTC)
== Image Categories ==
Hey, quick question. I'm going through character images, and I'm finding some from one game, tagged with another game. For example, Jasmine_KH.png (from KH1) is also filed under COM and RE:COM, alongside KH1 (the game the render is actually from). Is this correct? --[[File:Riku Sprite KHD.png]] [[User:Mikoto|mikoto]] 04:35, 19 May 2023 (UTC)
:I think they added categories for all games the character appeared in at first. So, if you were looking at the CoM category, you'd see all characters from CoM, even if they didn't have new renders. However, I think we should only keep the categories where the render is from, as that is more accurate. {{User:TheSilentHero/Sig}} 10:27, 19 May 2023 (UTC)
::Gotcha, then I'll start removing the superfluous categories. Also, shouldn't renders like Vexen_KHCOM.png be named Vexen_KHRECOM.png, instead? --[[File:Riku Sprite KHD.png]] [[User:Mikoto|mikoto]] 21:33, 19 May 2023 (UTC)
:::I think those renders were made for the original CoM. I read that they first made renders for the new characters before making them into sprites. {{User:TheSilentHero/Sig}} 21:42, 19 May 2023 (UTC)
== Dark-EnigmaXIII's Renders ==
While going through image categories, I'm finding a bunch of unofficial renders by Dark-EnigmaXIII. These seem a bit... unnecessary, so I'm wondering if it'd be okay to remove them from catagories. --[[File:Riku Sprite KHD.png]] [[User:Mikoto|mikoto]] 23:24, 23 May 2023 (UTC)
:The only ones I deem necessary to keep are the ones that lack official renders, e. g. Apprentice Xehanort from BBS. There's an official one from KH2 but not one from BBS with a high poly face. Several of the characters from Castle of Dreams also lack original renders. These should also be kept imo. File:Anti Form (Render) KHII.png is an example of renders I personally see no need to keep. Not in the categories and not on the wiki at all. - {{User:JTD95/Signature}} 23:37, 23 May 2023 (UTC)
::Unofficial renders should be deleted. But, as JTD said, we can make an exception if there is no official render. {{User:TheSilentHero/Sig}} 17:19, 24 May 2023 (UTC)
== Wth ==
What the hell, mang. We've added stuff from betas... We've always added stuff from betas, from Chi to Unchained. When did that ever change? --[[User:Samoa Joe|Samoa Joe]] ([[User talk:Samoa Joe|talk]]) 21:29, 3 December 2023 (UTC)
:I don't remember how we handled KHX and KHUX, but the way I see it beta is not the actual release, so we should wait on covering it. {{User:TheSilentHero/Sig}} 23:17, 3 December 2023 (UTC)
::We're...changing that on just a random whim? Just like that? I...ok. Whatever, I guess. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ --[[User:Samoa Joe|Samoa Joe]] ([[User talk:Samoa Joe|talk]]) 00:53, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
:::TSH is right. Also we didn't cover information on KHX or KHUX in mainspace when they were still in beta, only after the fact. Still, great work on the logo. They will probably not change it so we'll use it eventually.--{{User:ShardofTruth/Sig}} 17:25, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
::::I honestly could've sworn that we did, but I'm not gonna argue the point. It's not like we're gonna be waiting another two years for the wide release. --[[User:Samoa Joe|Samoa Joe]] ([[User talk:Samoa Joe|talk]]) 18:03, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
== KHUX Keyblade amd Synthesis data ==
Since I'm currently going through all this stuff again I was wondering if we want to keep or display some of the KHUX Keyblade synthesis data on the respective material page before level 1-25 were significantly changed? For example Adamant was made obsolete so should the page only contain this information or also how it was used?. Also I'm not able to view the archive versions on the KHUX wiki anymore, maybe something's wrong on my end though, editing them still works somehow.
Second question is what to do with the Keyblade data itself. Should it be updated to latest version (probably with combining levels for better readability) or should it stay it this way? What's your opinion on this dead game's content? --{{User:ShardofTruth/Sig}} 18:19, 5 December 2023 (UTC)
:For materials, I think we should display what was required in the latest version, with a reference or note with what was required before. For materials that became obsolete, like the Adamantite, I think we should display what it was used for with a note at the top saying it was made obsolete from version x on.
:For the Keyblades, ideally we should cover everything. However, there's no way we can stuff those long pages from the KHUX wiki in a single infobox. I'm not sure how well combining levels will work. And then there's still the Passives and Subslots. So I don't really know what to do with those. {{User:TheSilentHero/Sig}} 18:37, 5 December 2023 (UTC)
::Regarding the KHUX wiki archive pages, it seems the template crashed. Probably because it's too long. When I remove a bunch of the code, the preview works again. {{User:TheSilentHero/Sig}} 18:43, 5 December 2023 (UTC)
