- Heart  Of Oblivion  03:54, September 16, 2009 (UTC)

Whoa ! So wait a minute : can you pass me the link to each ? So that I can see what types of personalities they have ?  TNÉ  En avant Bravo ! 04:00, September 16, 2009 (UTC)

Here is one page and then all the others are in a navigation box at the bottom. - Heart  Of Oblivion  04:10, September 16, 2009 (UTC)

OMG. Now here's to thinking what characters should be placed into the userboxes.  TNÉ  En avant Bravo ! 04:14, September 16, 2009 (UTC)


 * Hello there, mind if I barge in :P I happen to have a Quizilla account, and I'd love to try to make this WikiFauna test for you :D I think that we should set it up as 24 questions, with (at least) 10 answer possibilities, defining the answer. Each question would be about a single WikiThingy's specialty, like How do you treat newbies? (the best answer would be for WikiOtters, while the worst would probably be for the WikiVampires). Get it? could we do this? - Ice boy Svalur! 14:34, September 16, 2009 (UTC)

Sweet ! But for 25 WikiFauna possibilities, what should we do ?  TNÉ  En avant Bravo ! 14:36, September 16, 2009 (UTC)

Possible Image Choices

 * WikiGryphon: Wyvern?
 * WikiFallen: Wight Knight
 * WikiMinnow: Flounder and make WikiTrout an Aquatank?
 * WikiVampire: Sora's Vampire form
 * WikiWizard: Yen Sid or Merlin
 * WikiElf: Santa Elves from Christmas Town
 * WikiFairy: Tinkerbell We already had it just wasn't on the Userbox page.

Another problem : categorisation. See Category talk:Users by WikiFauna.  TNÉ  En avant Bravo ! 04:26, September 16, 2009 (UTC)

Well, we'll have to wait for an admin to help because we can't move categories and it would take awhile to go through all of them and then have to delete them. - Heart  Of Oblivion  04:29, September 16, 2009 (UTC)

They have the Move button. We normal users used to have it but when Wikia changed its policies here and there, they decreed that we can't have the move button. See how much trouble it creates for us. I used to be able to move articles at my own will. Now I can't.  TNÉ  En avant Bravo ! 04:32, September 16, 2009 (UTC)

EDIT : We do have the Move button, but not for Categories. Damn.  TNÉ  En avant Bravo ! 04:34, September 16, 2009 (UTC)

Or files. I'd love to stay up and help but I have classes tomorrow. So night! - Heart  Of Oblivion  04:35, September 16, 2009 (UTC)

G'night then. See ya soon.  TNÉ  En avant <font color="#00bfff">Bravo ! 04:43, September 16, 2009 (UTC)

Community Portal Forum box (2009.10.16)
To work on after my editing on KHFR is done for the day.

DTN suggests double-column, instead of a straight-down bulleted list. So is the box going to be wide ? And how wide is it going to be ?  TNÉ  <font color="#1e90ff">En avant <font color="#00bfff">Bravo ! 05:38, October 16, 2009 (UTC)
 * As for the actual pixel-amount, I'm not sure. I would assume that it will be fairly wide; it'll have a title, perhaps a little sub-heading/message, and then the two columns. Come up with a draft version, and we can work from there. I think that we should double-column rather than single, as it will look cleaner and nice that the simplicity of a bulleted list. -- Door To  Nothing <font face="Trebuchet" color="red">Kupo! 05:45, October 16, 2009 (UTC)

Okay, so let's say it takes the width of the page, but it's not going to be so big. It's gonna be like, maybe, the size of a maintenance template. What do you say ?  TNÉ  <font color="#1e90ff">En avant <font color="#00bfff">Bravo ! 05:47, October 16, 2009 (UTC)
 * I would say just somewhat smaller than a maintenance template. I'll look later; It is nearly midnight, and I have classes tomorrow! -- Door To  Nothing <font face="Trebuchet" color="red">Kupo! 05:49, October 16, 2009 (UTC)

Okay, gotcha. Will start once my infobox work on KHFR is done for the day.  TNÉ  <font color="#1e90ff">En avant <font color="#00bfff">Bravo ! 06:06, October 16, 2009 (UTC)


 * Mind if I barge in? :P I just made a preview in my Workshop, go take a look! - <font face="Trebuchet" color="blue">Ice <font face="Trebuchet" color="dodgerblue">boy <font face="Trebuchet" color="paleturquoise">Svalur! 11:20, October 16, 2009 (UTC)

Okay, will do.  TNÉ  <font color="#1e90ff">En avant <font color="#00bfff">Bravo ! 11:37, October 16, 2009 (UTC)


 * Now, I believe it is done, how is it? - <font face="Trebuchet" color="blue">Ice <font face="Trebuchet" color="dodgerblue">boy <font face="Trebuchet" color="paleturquoise">Svalur! 17:46, October 16, 2009 (UTC)

I think it should do. ^_^  TNÉ  <font color="#1e90ff">En avant <font color="#00bfff">Bravo ! 00:06, October 17, 2009 (UTC)


 * It looks great. I've already put something in the Forums discussion about it, so let's get some more feedback. Unless if you think that BebopKate's feedback is enough. -- Door To  Nothing <font face="Trebuchet" color="red">Kupo! 00:12, October 17, 2009 (UTC)

i-Series (Round 4)

Work in progress
Now this thing lacks :


 * Organisation XIII (anyone apart from Axel, Demyx, Luxord, Larxene and Roxas).
 * All Final Fantasy cameos except Rikku, Cloud and Sephiroth.
 * Heartless
 * Neoshadow
 * Magic Heartless (the key here is to blacken the Heartless, then set it on a coloured BG, say red for Red Nocturne, pink for Pink Concerto etc.)
 * Darkside
 * Darkball
 * Crescendo
 * Soldier
 * Nobodies
 * Dusk
 * Dragoon

Anymore suggestions ? You're also free to add on to the character list, provided that they are within the sphere of the Kingdom Hearts universe.
 * I see my plan for is now into effect with the Magic Heartless. I'll try to get working on another one. -- Door  To  Nothing <font face=Trebuchet MS color=red>Kupo! 02:30, October 20, 2009 (UTC)
 * Good idea ^_^ Think the Creeper plants need attention too ?

EDIT 02:38, October 20, 2009 (UTC) : I did up a few more images, not sure if I should pass it to you or Xiggie for the iPod-adding....  TNÉ  <font color="#1E90FF">En avant <font color="#00BFFF ">Bravo ! 02:38, October 20, 2009 (UTC)
 * I'll try my hand @ it. Unfortunately, I accidently deleted the iPod image, so I'll have to go clean up another one. Luckily, I remember how! -- Door To  Nothing <font face=Trebuchet MS color=red>Kupo! 02:39, October 20, 2009 (UTC)


 * Okay, in the meantime, I'll try uploading some blackened images I made. I'd like you to take a look at them and do as you see fit. Once you're done, please replace the images with the new editions.  TNÉ  <font color="#1E90FF">En avant <font color="#00BFFF ">Bravo ! 02:49, October 20, 2009 (UTC)


 * The moogle image is awfully fuzzy. Is there any way that you might be able to clean this up before I add the "i" part of the image? -- Door To  Nothing <font face=Trebuchet MS color=red>Kupo! 02:01, October 21, 2009 (UTC)
 * No idea. Perhaps I could try to smoothen it out on Paint first...  TNÉ  <font color="#1E90FF">En avant <font color="#00BFFF ">Bravo ! 02:17, October 21, 2009 (UTC)

Okay, I finally uploaded a new version, though I could only smoothen out the red. The black was getting even fuzzier... *headdesk*  TNÉ  <font color="#1E90FF">En avant <font color="#00BFFF ">Bravo ! 02:21, October 21, 2009 (UTC)


 * I changed the Moogle pic a little and also added a picture for iLuxord! - Heart Of Oblivion 05:46, October 21, 2009 (UTC)

OMG thank you so much ! It'd be great if you could get all XIII, at least we'd have more variety (imagine, then Axel would have a whopping four or five userboxes to himself). Now I'd better work on those things which can't be coloured. DTN, I'm counting on you for the iPods. ^_^  TNÉ  <font color="#1E90FF">En avant <font color="#00BFFF ">Bravo ! 11:39, October 21, 2009 (UTC)

Okay, I have the first of my Organization silhouettes done, here's Xemnas or The Superior of The In-between or whatever:

^_^ He may be a little bit fuzzy between the black and gray, but it was the clearest picture I could get.

P.S. How do I make my signature colored and links to my pages? Dan da Man36 14:00, October 25, 2009 (UTC)
 * For your sig, you have to edit preferences (See the top right, more --> preferences, and for the signature, click on the box which says "Edit signature as wikitext" or something like that). How'd you like your sig to be ?


 * The silhouette is clear, though we could go with a lighter grey... what do you think ? Try uploading a new version of that file and see.  TNÉ  <font color="#1E90FF">En avant <font color="#00BFFF ">Bravo ! 14:02, October 25, 2009 (UTC)

Cool, I've done my sig, working on the lighter grey colour now. Dan 36 14:33, October 25, 2009 (UTC)

Well, I've replaced the file with a lighter colour, but it seems to look the same to me... is it just me? I see you have another Xemnas one as well, you can use this to make another one if you want, but you don't have to. Dan 36 15:10, October 25, 2009 (UTC)


 * Okay, I'll see first. Xiggie's helping too.  TNÉ  <font color="#1E90FF">En avant <font color="#00BFFF ">Bravo ! 15:11, October 25, 2009 (UTC)

Do you mind if I start on the Xaldin silhouette? Dan 36 15:28, October 25, 2009 (UTC)
 * If you can make one which isn't at all fuzzy, that'll be lovely. ^_^  TNÉ  <font color="#1E90FF">En avant <font color="#00BFFF ">Bravo ! 15:31, October 25, 2009 (UTC)

Well, I've finished Xaldin, but he's quite pixely...



And I have no idea where that grey fuzzy bit around the white is coming from, it doesn't look like that in paint... Dan 36 16:13, October 25, 2009 (UTC)
 * I think I know why. You've got to cover every single pixel, even the ones at the edges, for Xaldin first, Then when that's done, you can fill in the BG. I tried this with the Moogle and Blue Rhapsody (see below) but I haven't iPodded them. Which reminds me, Blue Rhapsody's also quite fuzzy...

If there should be another round of mod/admin voting ? (2009.10.22)
Ideas for a new implementation system. There are quite a lot of users who think their Wikipeers should select them for modship/adminship, and I believe a lot of us are quite aware about this. However, this is my plan. It's foolproof, there's no need for fights, edit wars, or Wiki users crying over un-nominated people ! Here's the pitch :


 * First, we take a look at the users' edit count by hitting Special:Editcount/(the user's name).
 * The fields to be judged are
 * Mainspace. This should be the main concern.
 * Kingdom Hearts Wiki
 * Help (perhaps)
 * File
 * Category
 * MediaWiki (where applicable)
 * Templates - not a good category to pick, because many people make humongous edits to their talk templates. However, if a user's been known to make tables/tabs/userboxes/infoboxes/navigation templates or help out in coding, then we'd most certainly consider him/her.
 * From these fields, the Staff panel will discuss on nominations, and a list of names will be selected, along with their reasons.
 * From there, all users of the Wiki vote.
 * The final results of the users' poll determines who gets selected. In a way, the Wikipeers are voting, but for the right reasons.

Feedback s’il vous plaît !
 * It sounds great, and much better than the previous peer-nominating. Before, Usrs who mainly just roamed the talk pages and blogs got nominated by their social peers, whereas that will no longer be a case in point. Also, nice note on the template; for several Users, this is why they have a surprisingly high edit count in template; however, there are Users like Xiggie and ILHI who work in that namespace regularly. Altogether, great system. However, the staff actually seems very solid right now; I wouldn't count on having another staff election anywhere in the near, or even somewhat far future. Can't wait for more feedback. -- Door To  Nothing <font face=Trebuchet MS color=red>Kupo! 04:41, October 22, 2009 (UTC)

Essai #2 : Lion Form
Okay, this one seems a bit too obvious. Anything we can do to change it ?
 * Minor rephrasment. - EternalNothingnessXIII 15:09, December 12, 2009 (UTC)

I would like to add a tiny detail... You should have an section where it tells you if the form is for battle purposes like Valor Form or just appearance purposes like Lion Form. I'm pretty sure in KHII every appearance form change is because of Sora's new clothes. And for battle forms in the "Gained by" section, you should put what has to be done to get it. Like Valor Form's would say talk to Flora, Fauna and Merryweather about new clothes in Yen Sid's Tower or something like that.- HeartOfOblivion 16:35, December 12, 2009 (UTC)
 * Okay. How's this ? (See the VF infobox above). I'll add the Functionality/Appearance bit soon.  TNÉ  <font color="#00BFFF">Pour Noël je te donnerai <font color="#C0C0C0">le battement de mon cœur… ♥ 01:03, December 13, 2009 (UTC)
