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)

Trivia section discussion (2009.10.07)
It's like this : we're thinking of a template for the front page. Like Template:Random Quote, but it's more orientated towards trivia and we'll have to have five bits on the box. Ideas ?  TNÉ  <font color="#1E90FF">En avant <font color="#00BFFF ">Bravo ! 04:06, October 7, 2009 (UTC)

Okay, will this do ?

Did you know...

...that Kurt Zisa was named after is named after Kurt Zisa of Medford, New York, who won Square's "KINGDOM HEARTS: Name-In-Game" contest? ...that Sora's clothes, as well as the size of his hands and feet, are references to Mickey Mouse? ...that Mickey Mouse was supposed to be the protagonist for Kingdom Hearts? ...that Axel shares his voice actor with Reno from Final Fantasy VII over a variety of languages? ...that when Donald is first seen in Kingdom Hearts he shocks Goofy with Thunder, but his starting spell is Fire? ...that Xaldin is the only Organization member killed in a Disney-based world? ...According to Nomura, the Dark Thorn's design is based on Ifrit, specifically the Final Fantasy X version? ...that in the 20th Anniversary Edition of Final Fantasy for the PSP, a child in the randomized dungeon Whisperwind Cove references Sora by saying "I've been having these weird thoughts lately... like... how did I get to this place!?" ...that Sora is the first character to wield three Keyblades at once? ...that Riku is the first Assistance character to appear in the Kingdom Hearts universe? ...that according to Santa Claus, Riku told Sora that there was no such thing as Santa Claus? ...that Riku is the only character in the Kingdom Hearts universe to call King Mickey by his name by Mickey's own request? ...that in Where Nothing Gathers, Vexen has the lowest of all thirteen seats? ...that Vivi is the only Final Fantasy character which was not designed by Tetsuya Nomura to appear in a Kingdom Hearts game? ...that part of Kairi's name ("Kai") is the Japanese word for "sea" (海), and that her whole name is homophonous with the word for "nautical mile" (海里 or 浬)? ...that Xemnas was the first and final Organization member to be fought against? ...that the Japanese name for Moogle, Mōguri (モーグリ), is a portmanteau of the Japanese words mogura (mole) and kōmori (bat)? ...that Hades and Captain Hook are the only Disney bosses in Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories to use sleights? ...that Auron is the first character to be declined by Sora to be a permament party member? ...that in Kingdom Hearts II, the Gullwings were once followers of Maleficent? ...that Xemnas, Saïx, and Luxord were the Organization members which Yen Sid showed to Sora? ...that in the Chain of Memories manga, Larxene was seen reading a book about the infamous French writer Marquis De Sade, the namesake of sadism? ...that the checkers on Roxas's jacket represent light and darkness? ...that Auron is the first Final Fantasy character to be an official member of Sora's party? ...that Axel is the only character to technically curse in the Kingdom Hearts universe? ...that the kana for Hercules is based on his original Greek name, Heracles? ...that Xigbar is Tetsuya Nomura's favorite character in 358/2 Days's multiplayer mode? ...that Luxord is Tetsuya Nomura's favorite member of Organization XIII? ...that Marluxia was originally intended to be a female character? ...that most of Demyx's weapons are named after musical or rock and roll terms?

Yet, I can't get it to display five sections, even if I've put 5 choose inputs. dash it, I finally did it. So what other "options" shall we add into the template ?  TNÉ  <font color="#1E90FF">En avant <font color="#00BFFF ">Bravo ! 04:57, October 7, 2009 (UTC)

WHAM pretty box thingy? We can do it like in the FF wiki and create a "DidYouKnow" template and just add all the trivia we want in the template and insert it in the pretty box; like the Random Quote Template as you said -- 05:10, October 7, 2009 (UTC)
 * Indeed. All we need is the box at the front. But that too will depend on the size/space allocated, and the theme for the season (I know the front page is going to be redecorated soon...). For now, this "option thing" should be immortalised in the Didyouknow template, what say you ? Then we can put it in any box whenever we need it.

EDIT : Okay, see Template:Didyouknow and yep, we'll add on to it.  TNÉ  <font color="#1E90FF">En avant <font color="#00BFFF ">Bravo ! 05:34, October 7, 2009 (UTC)
