<hr />
<div>The '''Cross-Wiki Week''' is an annual event hosted by the [https://niwanetwork.org/ Nintendo Independent Wiki Alliance] (NIWA), held to celebrate [[Nintendo]]'s birthday. The purpose of the event is to promote cooperation by inviting editors to contribute to wikis they don't regularly edit. At the end of the event, two winners will receive $20 Nintendo eShop gift cards for participating! The 2023 Cross-Wiki Week will take place from '''Saturday, 23 September, to Sunday, 1 October'''. For more info, please have a look [https://www.niwanetwork.org/cross-wiki-week-2023/ here]. If you want to participate, please be sure to register [https://forms.gle/qs7DaJ9QYmQYG7cB8 here].<br />
<br />
==Help us out!==<br />
Here are some example tasks that users from across NIWA can perform for the Cross-Wiki Week. If you are unsure about WiKirby's policy regarding editing and uploading, check the [[Help:Contents]] page and look for any relevant policies to what you have in mind. When adding new information, we ask that you do not copy and paste information from other Kirby Wikis or fan-guides. When you are done with a particular bullet point, feel free to remove it from the listing.<br />
<br />
===Easy tasks===<br />
*There are over 100 pages that could use more images (some only need a screenshot or two). Check [[:Category:Image requested|this category]] for a list of pages that need images.<br />
**Particularly needed are screenshots from ''Kirby Mass Attack''.<br />
*Recapture screenshots in native resolution.<br />
*Some enemy/mid-boss pages may be missing location tables or other such details.<br />
*Adding archived links to file sources or article references. See [[WiKirby:Project Archive]] for details.<br />
<br />
===Not-so-easy tasks===<br />
*Find better quality versions of files in [[:Category:Low quality images]] (please do not take images from Kirby FANDOM or any of those dubious "find PNG" sites)<br />
*Pages and/or expansions for the following important topics:<br />
**[[Merchandise]] (and related sub-pages)<br />

='''Current Proposals'''=<br />
==Updating Video policy to allow small official videos (July 4th 2023 - July 18th 2023)==<br />
Right now, the wiki's [[WiKirby:Video policy|Video policy]] is mostly focused on trailers and gameplay footage recorded by wiki editors. On that scope, it makes perfect sense and covers well those subjects. However, there are some other kinds of videos that are currently not addressed there, and that I believe we need to address and to allow them to be directly uploaded on WiKirby. That policy was originally written quickly after the wiki's first video file was uploaded, and was set to be reviewed with proposals, so here I am. :P<br />
<br />
For full context, Twitter has been dying for a couple months now, and its future continues to be uncertain. Very recently, it became impossible to view tweets without being logged in, and there is currently a limit on the number of tweets an account can read. With official Kirby Twitter accounts around, it became even more important to archive and document tweets from said accounts. As of right now, we document pretty well various Kirby Twitter posts, and by doing so we upload images alongside their text. I will use [[List of Kirby JP Twitter game reports - Kirby Star Allies]] as an example here. However, we do not upload videos of tweets when those exist, and instead we just upload the default image of the tweet's video. An example of that is [[:File:KSA Twitter - Rick & Kine & Coo.jpg]]. There is a Twitter link right next to the post to click and see the video, but, in particular with Twitter's current situation, this is far from ideal. People can only watch the video if they are logged in on Twitter, and if they haven't reached their full quota for the day. And while you could say we can just link an archived link of that same link, this is assuming the link was archived before the change, since as of right now if you try to archive a tweet, it will archive the login page. Moreover, this is not future proof, as it will be impossible to archive new tweets with archive.org.<br />
<br />
On a less priority note, some recent Kirby games have had tutorial videos which I think would be neat to have on the wiki. If you are on WiKirby's Discord, see [https://discord.com/channels/266426802321227778/323530530681520129/968219641300262945 here] for a message I posted last year about ''Forgotten Land'', and see [https://discord.com/channels/266426802321227778/323530530681520129/1083781856450842645 here] and [https://discord.com/channels/266426802321227778/323530530681520129/1083779554256101426 here] for a quick mention of videos like that from ''Return to Dream Land Deluxe''. Currently these can only be uploaded if converted to gifs or apngs which... fine. But if the raw files are videos, I don't see the need to convert them when all the video files are super small.<br />
<br />
Anyway, the wiki doesn't currently allow these videos to be uploaded, in particular due to these two points of the current policy:<br />
<br />
* Uploaded videos should only be of unedited gameplay footage, unless there is a very good reason otherwise. Generally, collaging different unedited footage in a single video is okay.<br />
* Uploaded videos '''must''' be the uploader's own work, or uploaded with '''explicit permission''' from the original creator. You may not upload videos by Nintendo or HAL Laboratory, even if they are publicly released. Use an embed for that instead.<br />
<br />
The second point in particular the root of what I want to change. The "Use an embed for that instead" seems to imply that that is possible by default for all those kind of videos. For the two kinds I mentioned, there is no way to embed them unless we upload them to some random Youtube account and embed them, which feels very counter productive for me. If we are allowing videos to be uploaded on WiKirby, why are we telling people to embed '''all''' official videos? Again, this was probably written with only trailers and Youtube videos in mind, but the spectrum is much bigger than that. And as this stands, which a very restrictive policy, [[:Category:Video clips|we only have three video clips uploaded on WiKirby]], all of which could even just be gifs. Unless we want to take a step back and go back to disallowing videos on the wiki (which I don't think we should do), we need to make the video policy less restrictive.<br />
<br />
With all that said, my proposal is to rewrite the Video policy to allow the two kinds of videos I mentioned above, by changing the policy points as follows (with only the first three points being changed):<br />
<br />
# Uploaded videos should not be excessively large in size (not significantly larger than the largest images, which are around 5 MB). Exceptions can be made for official videos that are a bit larger than that, but should be avoided.<br />
# Uploaded videos that are the uploader's own work should only be of unedited gameplay footage, unless there is a very good reason otherwise. Generally, collaging different unedited footage in a single video is okay.<br />
# Uploaded videos '''must''' be the uploader's own work, or uploaded with '''explicit permission''' from the original creator. You may upload videos by Nintendo or HAL Laboratory '''only''' if they are short unique videos posted on social media such as Twitter, or present in the game itself such as tutorial videos. Trailers, advertisements, cutscenes, and other long videos should never be uploaded; use an embed for that instead.<br />
#Uploaded videos are subject to similar quality standards to images and/or audio, and bad quality videos will be deleted. Generally speaking, gameplay footage should follow the same [[WiKirby:Image standards|resolution standards]] as images.<br />
#At least for now, you may not upload personal videos for your userpage. It must have some use for the wiki proper.<br />
<br />
Thoughts, suggestions? In particular, is there any copyright issues with anything I mentioned? And as a final note, while most of the videos I mentioned here are not very big (usually at most 10 MB), some are bigger, like [https://ia601506.us.archive.org/22/items/kirby_jp-twitter/2019-04-27%20Kirby%20JP/1121972693648064512_MTP8TG84958srUiU.mp4 this] (which is 20 MB), so I can understand concerns with that. But most of the videos are short and small like [https://ia601506.us.archive.org/22/items/kirby_jp-twitter/2019-10-18%20Kirby%20JP/1185027983049809921_YKIx6PLbhK9al0wN.mp4 this]. The size of videos to allow is still a bit up in the air, and we could perhaps ask to embed larger videos. Feel free to comment on that. {{User:Gigi/sig}} 12:16, 4 July 2023 (UTC)<br />

#Just for the mere fact that Twitter is in danger of extinction <s>and being that for most of the year it's unavailable for me anyway</s> I would very much like to see the videos uploaded to WiKirby. I don't see any reasons to oppose and that's all that matters at this point. {{User:ShadowKirby/sig}} 12:47, 4 July 2023 (UTC)<br />
#Agreed, there needs to be a way to preserve official videos (and also make them more accessible) and I'm not sure if Wayback Machine was ever capable of saving Twitter videos (and definitely isn't now). Having the tutorial videos on-wiki also seems good. {{User:Pinkyoshifan/sig}} 13:22, 4 July 2023 (UTC)<br />
#Allowing uploads of tutorial videos makes a lot of sense to me—they comprise a small part of the overall game, and they are clearly not replacements for playing the game both due to that and due to the resolution of the videos (no larger than 1000px in either dimension). For Twitter videos, one possibility is to host either downscaled or clipped versions of > 5 MB videos, and link to IA copies of full-resolution versions, but overall I think there is a rationale for many of them (thinking of the video that shows the KF2 HAL easter egg, to give just one example) to be uploaded without infringing on any of HAL's commercial opportunities. {{User:WillIdleAway/sig}} 17:48, 4 July 2023 (UTC)<br />
#I don't see any reason to go against this. Having videos from social media would be neat, which it is not so different from what is being done now, and having in-game videos that are not cutscenes uploaded here would be a good resource. {{User:Zolerian Yuviaflero/sig}} 02:59, 5 July 2023 (UTC)<br />
#This appears to be a highly logical safety measure to preserve content that is at risk of disappearing with no way to see it. Especially with how Twitter seems to be going down the drain it can't hurt to start preserving the relevant stuff on there now instead of taking the gamble.

===Discussion===<br />
I'm coming to this late, but... Why wouldn't we? Even if Twitter wasn't currently (insert "crapping itself like _" here), it seems really silly to not have our own backups of these things in case an existing source does go down for any reason. Now, given, if they ask us to remove the videos that's a different story, but the way I see it, for Twitter-sourced videos we can send them something like this in return:<br />
<br />
"Hi, yes, we'll remove them from the archive immediately. Do you have any other source than Twitter for these videos? We're concerned with the longevity of the platform and would like to source these videos on a more accessible platform."<br />
<br />
And if they don't have that, then we deal with that from there.[[User:Waddlez3121|Waddlez3121]] ([[User talk:Waddlez3121|talk]]) 01:18, 6 July 2023 (UTC)<br />
::A few things to consider: <br />
*Video files are inherently very large. Even if the server host is willing to take on a lot more of these files, it will also have a significant page loading factor for the end user—the more videos you have, the longer it may take a page to load.<br />
*There are not a lot of universal standard file formats to use: Do you plan on using MP4? AVI is generally large in size, MKV has rough support, and Vorbis OGV is also not supported on Apple systems. Furthermore, HEVC encoding (H.265) and MOV are proprietary. I think you need to develop clear and explicit guidelines for how exactly these files need to be uploaded and presented if this does move forward.

'''Please read [[Help:File uploading|these]] [[Help:Formatting file pages|several]] [[WiKirby:Abbreviations|official]] [[WiKirby:File use policy|file]] [[WiKirby:Image standards|help]] [[WiKirby:Naming policy|pages]] first. It is a much broader, official guide and is more likely to answer questions before I do.''' I will use the file [[:File:Trig Demonstration Example File.png]] as an example in this demonstration.<br />
----<br />
<br />
===Giving a file a name===<br />
When naming a file, it is most important to keep three "C"s in mind: Consistency, clarity, and capitalization. Additionally, a well named file can answer the questions "What game is this" and "What is the file about" WITHOUT the need to see the file.<br />
<br />
I personally try to have all files be named in the following format: (Game Name/Abbreviation) (Object or Action) (Specifics).extension, but it is more important to remain consistent amongst the files being dealt with over this format. For a specific example, if all the other files being dealt with are in the format "Game Abbreviation Character Icon.extension", your file should properly reflect this. In terms of what 'Specifics' means, it means what the type of image is. There are about five types of images, being Artwork, Icon, Screenshot, Sprite, and Model/Render (varies). The specific is what sets that image apart from the rest.<br />
<br />
In regards to the extension, the most important part about the extension is that it needs to be lowercase. Additionally, jpeg files should be written as jpg, and ogg should be formatted as oga or ogv, depending on the file type. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ogg This is not a me thing] [https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5334 , rather it is the creater of the ogg container's request]. The reason for the former is because jpg and jpeg will display as two different files which can lead to confusion and sometimes ruin automatic linking in templates or Cargo queries.<br />
<br />
Clarity is fairly simple: The name should make sense. Avoid using more words than necessary to convey what the image is about, and if conjecture needs to be used, try and use wording that is directly used for the intended caption or surrounding context.<br />
<br />
Capitalization once again is about making sure all files have lowercase extensions, and proper uppercase letters for any abbreviations (use GAME over game). Don't use all uppercase, either. It also is to make sure that files don't have differentiating capitalization, as MediaWiki will treat them as different files.<br />
----<br />
===What to avoid===<br />
----<br />
*Capitalized extensions. Pretty good reason as to why I'd bring it up this many times if it wasn't a big deal.<br />
*Inconsistency. Files named 'THE cool Song of doom.oga' have weird, inconsistent capitalization; similar multiple files that change capitalization should be renamed to prevent it. <br />
*Overabbreviating. Shortening game names can be nice, but shortening things such as area names or characters may lead to some confusion or [[User:Trig Jegman#Terminology|NCRs]] later down the road. Whispy Woods is not that long of a name, and does not need to be written as WW, for example.<br />
*Using the gif format for static images: These can be uploaded as png files, and it is better to do so. <br />
*Having funny file names. While files about yoshi being named "ugly green frog" is a good chuckle, it also makes it very difficult to identify what the file is actually about.<br />
*Unnecessary numbers. Sometimes it makes sense to name files numerically, such as Intro 1/Intro 2/Intro 3, but if it could be reasonably avoided, it should be.<br />
*Punctuation. While you ''can'' use some punctuation, it should only be used if said punctuation appears in what the file is describing. Personally, if it is not a hyphen, I do not like to keep punctuation, such as exclaimation points or tildes. Most importantly, do NOT (ever) use periods or pound signs <nowiki>(#)</nowiki> in file names because that can affect the coding. Furthermore, do not use parentheses, quotation marks, unicode, funky letters like À; Æ; Ö, emojis (yes people have tried), or unnecessary hyphens (ex: KRD-Cool-Door-Sprite.gif). <br />
*Too broad a name. Don't name a file after only the page you are referring to, as most of the time it may come back in a later game or in another form. 'Gordo.png' or 'Kirby right back at ya.jpg' are hypothetical examples of broad naming.<br />
<br />
===Renaming existing files===<br />
The way I approach renaming a file is by first having the File page open.<br />
<br />
I then open all the pages it is both used on ''and'' pages I can edit in a new tab, but you may opt into windows or your own method instead. <br />
<br />
Move the file to the appropriate name. <br />
<br />
''Generally speaking'', all pages can be edited for correcting file names, with the exception of archives or policy pages. In these circumstances, reach out to an Administrator for help. <br />
<br />
Most importantly to change is the regular pages and galleries. Locate the image and where it is used (sometimes it may be used more than once) and replace it. I generally find it helpful to use copy and pasting here. If you have the find tool, it can help minimize time spent searching. I am not an all computer wizard, but it tends to be command-F for macs and control-F for not-macs.<br />
<br />
If you decide to preserve the user/user talk pages as well, open them up and do the same replacement if possible. Some user talk pages are protected, meaning the images are unable to be replaced. ''This is okay. This stuff happens.'' Not all images last forever, and that is why it is okay User pages don't need attention. If you can replace any images, edit ONLY the file name and nothing else. Indicate in the summary very clearly why a talk page or archive was edited. I use the term [[User:Trig Jegman#Occasionally used terminology|FNC]], file name change, but as long as people understand why, it is acceptable.<br />
<br />
Once all pages have been addressed, go to the created redirect and mark it with the <nowiki>{{delete}}</nowiki> tag. Indicate a reason for deletion (FNC would likely be understood here too). After this, check the page "What Links Here" on the left side under "Tools". On some devices, control+option+J can be pressed to get there automatically. This is helpful for two reasons: The first is to make sure you didn't miss anything! The second is to see if any linked but undisplayed files are used.<br />
[[File:Trig Demonstration Example File.png|thumb|100px]]<br />
Files can be listed with a colon before File is written [[:File:Trig Demonstration Example File.png]] or also [[:File:Trig Demonstration Example File.png|with alternate text]]. If this usage can be replaced, it should be as well.<br />
<br />
The file [[:File:Trig Demonstration Example File.png]] itself links to a variety of pages to demonstrate what has been listed above.<br />
<br />
At this point, you are done. Should you have any questions, comments, concerns, quantums, or theorems, please ask away on [[User talk:Trig Jegman|my talk page]]. Happy editing.<br />
----<br />
<br />
===Why does this matter?===<br />
Having a consistent naming structure(s) leads to easier use of the wiki! Without funky file names, people won't be confused about how to type them in, be able to search for files easier, and be able to know what each file is on a large page like a gallery without being able to see it when editing. Some people when writing could even be able to just write a filename without even having to look it up. While making file names better, it also can reach to a large amount of pages to help fix problems on those pages as well. Some less popular pages can be scanned for errors.<br />
<br />
=='''How to use aboutfile'''==<br />
===I've never used this template before===<br />
Aboutfile is the primary image template WiKirby uses to provide information on its File pages. This template does a lot in order to help organize files on your behalf, instead of you having to manually write a lot of things on your own. An example of the empty aboutfile template (which appears automatically in the summary box when uploading a new file) is as follows:<br />
<pre>{{aboutfile<br />
|description=<br />
|game=<br />
|media=<br />
|modified=<br />
|type=<br />
|type2=<br />
|source=<br />
|license=<br />
}}</pre><br />
Now, when actually filling out these parameters, you will almost certainly not need all of them, and many should be deleted when going through the template upon uploading. Lets look at each parameter and what they mean, and how each should be filled out.<br />
<br />
*'''|description=''': This parameter is for writing a summary of what the file contains. A file description should be short and concise, requiring no more than one sentence to explain. For example, a piece of artwork of Kirby from ''Kirby Super Star Ultra'' could simply be described as "Artwork of [[Kirby]] from ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]''."<br />
<br />
*'''|game=''' and '''|media=''': These two parameters are an either/or situation. Primarily, |game should be used for any single-game images. Only the direct American name of the game should be entered into this parameter (IE |game=Kirby Super Star) with no additional formatting. Entering a game into the |game= parameter will do two main things: An italicized link will be generated pointing to the game, and the file will be added to the appropriate game category. A file with "|game=Kirby & The Amazing Mirror" will display "''[[Kirby & The Amazing Mirror]]''" and it will be added to the [[:Category:Kirby & The Amazing Mirror images|Kirby & The Amazing Mirror images]] category. If a game is not the subject, multiple games are the subject, or automatic links won't work/aren't wanted, use the |media= parameter instead. Regardless of what parameter is selected, the other should be removed. <br />
<br />
*'''|modified=''': This parameter is optional, and if not used should be deleted. This is primarily for files with significant edits or changes to them. Was a background removed? Is the image upscaled? Were arrows and numbers made for an informational diagram? If so, say so in this parameter. Filling this parameter will automatically place the file in the [[:Category:Doctored images|doctored images]] category.<br />
<br />
*'''|type=''' and '''|type2=''': This parameter covers a lot of things at once. Primarily, this parameter is to indicate what type of file it is! The list of types is the following:<br />
**audio (For audio files)<br />
**photo (For real-world images)<br />
**sprite (For sprites)<br />
**screenshot (For user-generated screenshots for video games or web pages)<br />
**officialscreenshot (For officially released screenshots, usually promotional material)<br />
**officialmiiverse (For any Miiverse posts by official Kirby sources)<br />
**officialaudio (For any audio published by HAL or Nintendo)<br />
**map (For maps)<br />
**flag (For real-world country flags)<br />
**model (For 3-D Models)<br />
**artwork (For any artwork)<br />
**boxart (For any physical box art, or cover art that serves as a substitute–particularly for online-only games)<br />
**logo (For game or series logos)<br />
**user (For user images)<br />
**tv (For screenshots of television or video media, particularly of the Anime series)<br />
**scan (For scans of physical media or digital copies of printed work)<br />
**wiki (For images relating to Wikirby as a platform)<br />
**food (For real-world images involving Kirby Café)<br />
**ppp (For Channel PPP Twitter posts)<br />
**directory (For Dedede Directory Twitter posts)<br />
**gamereports (For all other Twitter posts)<br />
**rating (For real-world game ratings, such as ESRB or CERO)<br />
:Filling out this section will do several things in addition to specifying the file type. First, it will add the file into its respective category. A |type=screenshot will add the file to the [[:Category:Screenshots]]. Additionally, filling out this parameter automatically gives the file a license, which is extremely important for [[WiKirby:Copyrights|fair use purposes]]. If two types are necessary, |type2= can be used. If not, |type2= can be deleted.<br />
<br />
*'''|source=''': This is a very important parameter. If you have a file that wasn't directly taken by yourself, it needs to be written or linked here. If you captured the file yourself, use |source=self. For images captured by other people, use |source=user and fill the next parameter below.<br />
<br />
*'''|user=''': This parameter is unlikely to be used. It should only be filled with the name of the user for people that use |source=user or |type=user. For example, if [[User:Samwell|Samwell]] was the source of an image, you would enter |source=user and user=Samwell.<br />
<br />
*'''|license=''': This parameter is unlikely to be used. It is automatically filled in if the |type= parameter is filled out, and can usually be deleted. The only reason this parameter should be filled out is if a file should be licensed in any way other than fair use, such as public domain, creative commons, or something else.<br />
<br />
===I used Aboutfile 1.0 before===<br />
The Aboutfile 2.0 update brings a lot of new changes to the table, making the template a multi-use tool, where most components are controlled through the Aboutfile template instead of the former system of Aboutfile and Licensing templates and manually written categories.<br />
<br />
The formatting to writing the template is the same, there are just new parameters from before.<br />
<br />
*'''|description=''' Still functions the exact same as before. Describe the file here.<br />
<br />
*'''|game=''' and '''|media=''' function relatively the same, but have a critical change from before. Aboutfile 2.0 automatically will link and italicize a file written in the '''|game=''' parameter, as well as automatically categorize the file to the game written. '''|media''' will do none of these things and media/categories will need to be manually written.<br />
<br />
*'''|modified=''' Still the same as before, except that filling this parameter will now place the image automatically in the Doctored images category. Are there significant edits to the photo done? Add it here.<br />
<br />
*'''|type=''' and '''|type2=''' This is the largest new addition to Aboutfile 2.0. This parameter replaces the former licensing templates like <nowiki>{{game screenshot}}</nowiki> or <nowiki>{{artwork}}</nowiki> by integrating it directly into the template. Most of the names of the types are identical to the old licensing templates. |type=artwork is the same as <nowiki>{{artwork}}</nowiki>. Type will also automatically categorize the file based off of its type, so |type=artwork will add to [[:Category:Artwork]]. In cases where a file might apply to two different types, type2= enables a second type+category to be added. There is no priority or hierarchy to the order types are entered (IE type= is not more important than |type2=). '''This section should ALWAYS be filled out'''. If there is no type given, the file will be added to a maintenance category to be fixed as soon as possible.<br />
<br />
*'''|source=''' works the same way as before, with some new additions. For self-ripped or generated uploads, use |source=self. For files sourced from Kirby Wiki FANDOM, use |source=fandom (which will add to maintenance category). '''If there is no known source, leave this section blank!''' It will automatically be added to the unsourced files category, in lieu of using the old <nowiki>{{File Source}}</nowiki> template. Lastly, if a user uploads a new revision of a file but isn't the source (IE optimizations or new re-takes of a file), utilize |source=user and read the following parameter.<br />
<br />
*'''|user=''' This is a somewhat rare and optional parameter that should only be used for |source=user sources, ''or'' for type=user files. This is how to indicate User images with a file search, in replacement of the former <nowiki>{{Personal Media}}</nowiki> template.<br />
<br />
*'''|license''' ''is an optional parameter''. In most circumstances, this will automatically be filled out as copyrighted fair use if anything is entered for the type= parameter. If a file needs a different type of license, such as Public Domain or Creative Commons, only then should this parameter be filled out.<br />
----<br />
<br />
==What Does That Mean? (FAQ)==<br />
This section is a semi-dedicated FAQ to both questions related to files and general wiki editing. Have a question? I would be happy to answer it on [[User talk:Trig Jegman|my talk page]] instead. <br />
<br />
===Why do we have different types of files?===<br />
JPG/JPEG is a lossy type of image. While compressing, the file may lose quality in order to have a better file size. They are less preferred than other file types, but that is not to say they are bad. Usually, JPGs are used for artworks or Wii U/Switch screenshots. JPG files cannot and should not be converted into other file types.<br />
<br />
GIF is a lossless types of image, revolutionary for supporting animation and transparency. It can only display 256 colors per frame, however. These files are most recommended to be used for animated images ''only'', as the successor file type is much more effective at displaying images. Additionally, gameplay GIFs should be avoided because too many colors at once causes '''dithering''', a process where color values exceeding GIF's 256 are replaced with a "best guess", usually, reducing the overall quality or accuracy. <br />
<br />
PNG is essentially GIF 2 electric boogaloo. It was designed to improve on the lossless format to be both more compressed but also have more color options available to the viewer. A majority of wiki files are in this format. PNG is also transparency supportive, and is usually the smallest file type available. The main distinction between PNG and GIF is that PNG does not necessarily have animation support. There were several attempts to add it on later down the line, such as MNG (creator:png group) or APNG (mozilla), but they do not hold universal value. While the wiki supports APNG uploads, it is not heavily suggested as it is not quite available to all users and are usually large in size.<br />
<br />
SVGs are interesting lossless files. They are universally supported, and essentially run images off text files. The two reasons that these files may be used over PNG is because they are much ''much'' smaller, and because that they can be displayed at any size without a change in quality. You want a 9000 by 9000 pixel SVG? It'll go there and look just as good as 152x152. They are only effective when it comes to line art or very simple artworks, however.<br />
<br />
MP3 is the primary audio format. While this format used to be license only, it has since expired and is free for anyone to use. It is a lossy audio format, meaning some quality is lost on creation. This helps keep the file size small for use. Everything should be able to play this file type.<br />
<br />
OGA is another audio format that might be seen, using Vorbis encoding. This was the main file format used before MP3 was widely available, but otherwise should generally be roughly similar for quality. The main difference is these files [[User:Trig Jegman#Why can't I play this OGA/OGV file?|are not universally supported]] and will not work on all devices. Sounds on OGA files should be re-recorded/exported into MP3 files—'''not converted'''—when possible to allow a wider audience to be able to see them.<br />
<br />
Notably, there are not any good universal video formats for the web. While an H.264 MP4 file is ''generally'' your best bet, it's also not very well supported on MediaWiki. It's probably better to link to a YouTube, Vimeo, or Odysee video.<br />
<br />
===Is there a difference between JPG and JPEG?===<br />
Short answer: No. Long answer: Noooooo.<br />
<br />
JPG and JPEG are entirely interchangeable and have absolutely no meaning over the other. That said, files should use always jpg to avoid issues when auto-filling parameters and to avoid duplicate naming issues.<br />
<br />
For example, the files "TheoRules.jpg" and "TheoRules.jpeg" would be considered two different files, and therefore show two different pictures. This could lead to a lot of confusion.<br />
<br />
===Why isn't this gif moving?===<br />
Chances are, it is a single frame gif. If possible, try and convert to a PNG before uploading, as they are more optimal to utilize and it generally does not affect visual quality. <br />
<br />
===I thought PNGs were supposed to be transparent===<br />
PNGs ''can'' be transparent, but they might not be. Sometimes the source uses a white background and that is ok. Transparency should not be artificially created just because an image is a PNG. '''Images should never be made transparent in systems like GIMP. Only official transparency should be used.'''<br />
<br />
===What's the deal with "inter-file periods"?===<br />
Interfile periods, periods that are in a file name that aren't for the extension, are not really great to have. While other punctuation found in a subject is usually okay, sometimes systems freak out as to when the extension starts when it comes to periods. For example, it may read a file named "Mr. T Artwork.jpg" as it should be, Mr. T Artwork, with an extension of jpg, OR it might read the file as Mr T with the extension of Artwork.jpg<br />
<br />
There doesn't appear to be a rhyme or reason as to when one happens over another, but typically it messes up in galleries over anything else. It's better to be safe and avoid them entirely. If anything, it is simply easier to read. <br />
<br />
===What's the deal with hyphens?===<br />
Hyphens are a difficult middle ground when it comes to naming files. While they should be used for anything with a hyphen specifically in the name, they should NOT be used in place of spaces. The reason for this is generally because it's easier to type without a space, and the use of hyphens simply creates more opportunities for files to be almost identically named. KSSU-Moon.png and KSSU Moon.png could be two different files, and it is not the most effective to name them so similarly.<br />
<br />
A hyphen (-), found on most keyboards, is not to be confused with a dash (—) or a minus sign (−).<br />
<br />
For example, the following could all be be different files:<br />
*Kirby-Sword.png<br />
*Kirby - Sword.png<br />
*Kirby- Sword.png<br />
*Kirby -Sword.png<br />
<br />
===What's an NCR?===<br />
An NCR is a term I use to describe files that are almost identically named. Some examples would be:<br />
*Capitalization. (EX: File:KEY Dream Land.png and File:KEY dream land.png)<br />
*Extension difference. (EX: File:Marx being cool.jpg and File:Marx being cool.png)<br />
*Hyphens (EX: File:Meta Knight.png vs File:Meta-Knight.png vs File:Meta - Knight.png vs File:Meta- Knight.png vs File:Meta -Knight.png)<br />
<br />
===Why do you have symbols all over your sandbox?===<br />
I usually use them to be able to reference different types of images. Often, I will use the at sign @, dollar sign $, percent %, ampersand &, and dead key grave ` (and rarely asterism, usually for lists ⁂) to self categorize groups of images. For example, if I am going to need to fix the aboutfiles on a set of images, I might add % to them and do all of those images at the same time. Generally, they don't mean the same thing for the same section. Relatedly, symbols are added to edit summaries to avoid autofill taking up my screen space.<br />
<br />
===What are Smart Quotes? What are Smart Apostrophes?===<br />
Smart quotes and apostrophes are a type of quote that is not on a universal keyboard. They appear like this: (“|”|‘|’). They were essentially created to add style to the regular straight quotes (sometimes jokingly called dumb quotes) as seen here: ("|'). Since Smart Quotes do not appear on most keyboards as a standard, we try to avoid them the best we can. Some browsers/OS have automatic correction to smart quotes, especially apple products. These settings can be turned off in various settings pages. Notably, smart punctuation does not allow MediaWiki functions like italicize and bold to work.<br />
<br />
'''Since some people may only be using smart quotes, pages that utilize quotations and apostrophes should have extra redirects made that utilize them.'''<br />
<br />
===Why do I keep seeing "Optimized" on files?===<br />
Image optimization is a LOSSLESS process in which an image has its metadata removed. Metadata is more text based, hidden information attached to files. Generally some metadata could include the date of capture, the file's dimensions, or type of camera used. While maybe useful for personal use, it's not necessary to have on the wiki. Hence, the emphasis on optimizing files.<br />
<br />
There are a number of programs available to optimize files. The most popular are PNG Monstrous (formerly PNG Monster), which is universal in download and is extremely effective. Running command line optimizations, Zopfli and PNGOUT are very useful as well. The other is ImageOptim, which is generally a mashup of a bunch of optimizers. The pro to using ImageOptim is that it has support for four file types to be optimized: PNG, JPG, GIF, ''and'' SVG, with a con of being MacOS exclusive. An online alternative is [https://ezgif.com/optimize EZGif], which is not the most effective method, but is a great "nothing else works" method. <br />
<br />
'''Before''' uploading a new image or revision, images are encouraged to be optimized as it helps the user load the image more effectively and saves server space. Extremely frequently used icons and images, such as ones on high use templates, may also benefit from optimization to save on load time--though this is primarily for images that do not generate thumbnails.<br />
<br />
As mentioned before, optimizing is a lossless process. Compression, which is sadly used interchangeably with optimizing, could mean either regular optimizing or the use of LOSSY compression. Lossy compression is where the image quality is reduced (by any varying amount) to make the file size smaller. '''LOSSY compression should not be used.'''<br />
<br />
===What's Gamma Brightening?===<br />
Gamma (Brightening) is a type of metadata stored on image files that change the way certain colors are displayed. Usually, it reduces the contrast amongst colors and is typically found on PNGs. While generally unwritten, the policy on gamma brightened photos is to optimize the file only if the original source does not use gamma brightening. '''If the source image contains gamma brightening metadata, it should not be optimized'''.<br />
<br />
===Why use OGA and OGV instead of OGG?===<br />
[[File:Xiph OGG Naming Standard.png|thumb|right|200px]]<br />
Way back yonder when the OGG format was introduced by Xiph.org, the only extension was .ogg; Since it became wildly much more popular in the later 2000s, they realized that the ability to have almost any type of file use OGG, they formally headlined the creation of different extensions such as OGA ([[User:Trig Jegman#Why do I keep seeing "Optimized" on files? What's PNG Monstrous?|Lossy]] Audio), OGV (Video), OGX (applications), and XFPF (weird code stuff that I don't understand). Per the [https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5334 creators suggestion,] we should use the distinguished naming scheme. <br />
<br />
===Why can't I play this OGA/OGV file?===<br />
Unfortunately, while popular in the days of 2010, the global standard has dropped universal OGG support for reasons that have yet to really be explained. Some theorize it was because apple was trying to replace it with .mov and .m4a files, but this is conjecture. Generally, google chrome is a good browser to try and view this type of file on. If possible, it may be acceptable to re-rip as MP3 files.<br />

==Finding sources for files==<br />
{{main|WiKirby:Project Clean-Up/Unsourced image archive}}<br />
WiKirby strives to ensure that all images it uses are sourced appropriately. No images being used in mainspace articles are believed to be unsourced or improperly sourced. However, there are a few old stowaways which have been preserved in the archives which need sourcing in order to be allowed back into mainspace. If you would be so intrepid as to find sources for them, you would be considered a WiKirby Hero! You may find this sorry lot of images [[WiKirby:Project Clean-Up/Unsourced image archive|by clicking here]].<br />
<br />
==Sprite-based screenshots as jpg==<br />
All screenshots of ''sprite-based'' games should be lossless (png and not jpg) to comply with [[WiKirby:Image standards]]. Remember to '''recapture, not just convert'''. For some of them, the names need to be changed as well. Some screenshots may need to be recaptured as png, but aren't in this section.<br />

Please note that some of these wanted images already exist on the wiki, but have not been added to the page yet. It is advised to check for a fitting image first, and use images that already exist before uploading new images. I am not putting galleries on this list since the majority of them all just need more of the proper images added to them. See [[:category:Galleries|here]] for galleries. <br />

'''Please read [[Help:File uploading|these]] [[Help:Formatting file pages|several]] [[WiKirby:Abbreviations|official]] [[WiKirby:File use policy|file]] [[WiKirby:Image standards|help]] [[WiKirby:Naming policy|pages]] first. It is a much broader, official guide and is more likely to answer questions before I do.''' I will use the file [[:File:Trig Demonstration Example File.png]] as an example in this demonstration.<br />
----<br />
<br />
===Giving a file a name===<br />
When naming a file, it is most important to keep three "C"s in mind: Consistency, clarity, and capitalization. Additionally, a well named file can answer the questions "What game is this" and "What is the file about" WITHOUT the need to see the file.<br />
<br />
I personally try to have all files be named in the following format: (Game Name/Abbreviation) (Object or Action) (Specifics).extension, but it is more important to remain consistent amongst the files being dealt with over this format. For a specific example, if all the other files being dealt with are in the format "Game Abbreviation Character Icon.extension", your file should properly reflect this. In terms of what 'Specifics' means, it means what the type of image is. There are about five types of images, being Artwork, Icon, Screenshot, Sprite, and Model/Render (varies). The specific is what sets that image apart from the rest.<br />
<br />
In regards to the extension, the most important part about the extension is that it needs to be lowercase. Additionally, jpeg files should be written as jpg, and ogg should be formatted as oga or ogv, depending on the file type. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ogg This is not a me thing] [https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5334 , rather it is the creater of the ogg container's request]. The reason for the former is because jpg and jpeg will display as two different files which can lead to confusion and sometimes ruin automatic linking in templates or Cargo queries.<br />
<br />
Clarity is fairly simple: The name should make sense. Avoid using more words than necessary to convey what the image is about, and if conjecture needs to be used, try and use wording that is directly used for the intended caption or surrounding context.<br />
<br />
Capitalization once again is about making sure all files have lowercase extensions, and proper uppercase letters for any abbreviations (use GAME over game). Don't use all uppercase, either. It also is to make sure that files don't have differentiating capitalization, as MediaWiki will treat them as different files.<br />
----<br />
===What to avoid===<br />
----<br />
*Capitalized extensions. Pretty good reason as to why I'd bring it up this many times if it wasn't a big deal.<br />
*Inconsistency. Files named 'THE cool Song of doom.oga' have weird, inconsistent capitalization; similar multiple files that change capitalization should be renamed to prevent it. <br />
*Overabbreviating. Shortening game names can be nice, but shortening things such as area names or characters may lead to some confusion or [[User:Trig Jegman#Terminology|NCRs]] later down the road. Whispy Woods is not that long of a name, and does not need to be written as WW, for example.<br />
*Using the gif format for static images: These can be uploaded as png files, and it is better to do so. <br />
*Having funny file names. While files about yoshi being named "ugly green frog" is a good chuckle, it also makes it very difficult to identify what the file is actually about.<br />
*Unnecessary numbers. Sometimes it makes sense to name files numerically, such as Intro 1/Intro 2/Intro 3, but if it could be reasonably avoided, it should be.<br />
*Punctuation. While you ''can'' use some punctuation, it should only be used if said punctuation appears in what the file is describing. Personally, if it is not a hyphen, I do not like to keep punctuation, such as exclaimation points or tildes. Most importantly, do NOT (ever) use periods or pound signs <nowiki>(#)</nowiki> in file names because that can affect the coding. Furthermore, do not use parentheses, quotation marks, unicode, funky letters like À; Æ; Ö, emojis (yes people have tried), or unnecessary hyphens (ex: KRD-Cool-Door-Sprite.gif). <br />
*Too broad a name. Don't name a file after only the page you are referring to, as most of the time it may come back in a later game or in another form. 'Gordo.png' or 'Kirby right back at ya.jpg' are hypothetical examples of broad naming.<br />
<br />
===Renaming existing files===<br />
The way I approach renaming a file is by first having the File page open.<br />
<br />
I then open all the pages it is both used on ''and'' pages I can edit in a new tab, but you may opt into windows or your own method instead. <br />
<br />
Move the file to the appropriate name. <br />
<br />
''Generally speaking'', all pages can be edited for correcting file names, with the exception of archives or policy pages. In these circumstances, reach out to an Administrator for help. <br />
<br />
Most importantly to change is the regular pages and galleries. Locate the image and where it is used (sometimes it may be used more than once) and replace it. I generally find it helpful to use copy and pasting here. If you have the find tool, it can help minimize time spent searching. I am not an all computer wizard, but it tends to be command-F for macs and control-F for not-macs.<br />
<br />
If you decide to preserve the user/user talk pages as well, open them up and do the same replacement if possible. Some user talk pages are protected, meaning the images are unable to be replaced. ''This is okay. This stuff happens.'' Not all images last forever, and that is why it is okay User pages don't need attention. If you can replace any images, edit ONLY the file name and nothing else. Indicate in the summary very clearly why a talk page or archive was edited. I use the term [[User:Trig Jegman#Occasionally used terminology|FNC]], file name change, but as long as people understand why, it is acceptable.<br />
<br />
Once all pages have been addressed, go to the created redirect and mark it with the <nowiki>{{delete}}</nowiki> tag. Indicate a reason for deletion (FNC would likely be understood here too). After this, check the page "What Links Here" on the left side under "Tools". On some devices, control+option+J can be pressed to get there automatically. This is helpful for two reasons: The first is to make sure you didn't miss anything! The second is to see if any linked but undisplayed files are used.<br />
[[File:Trig Demonstration Example File.png|thumb|100px]]<br />
Files can be listed with a colon before File is written [[:File:Trig Demonstration Example File.png]] or also [[:File:Trig Demonstration Example File.png|with alternate text]]. If this usage can be replaced, it should be as well.<br />
<br />
The file [[:File:Trig Demonstration Example File.png]] itself links to a variety of pages to demonstrate what has been listed above.<br />
<br />
At this point, you are done. Should you have any questions, comments, concerns, quantums, or theorems, please ask away on [[User talk:Trig Jegman|my talk page]]. Happy editing.<br />
----<br />
<br />
===Why does this matter?===<br />
Having a consistent naming structure(s) leads to easier use of the wiki! Without funky file names, people won't be confused about how to type them in, be able to search for files easier, and be able to know what each file is on a large page like a gallery without being able to see it when editing. Some people when writing could even be able to just write a filename without even having to look it up. While making file names better, it also can reach to a large amount of pages to help fix problems on those pages as well. Some less popular pages can be scanned for errors.<br />
<br />
=='''How to use aboutfile'''==<br />
===I've never used this template before===<br />
Aboutfile is the primary image template WiKirby uses to provide information on its File pages. This template does a lot in order to help organize files on your behalf, instead of you having to manually write a lot of things on your own. An example of the empty aboutfile template (which appears automatically in the summary box when uploading a new file) is as follows:<br />
<pre>{{aboutfile<br />
|description=<br />
|game=<br />
|media=<br />
|modified=<br />
|type=<br />
|type2=<br />
|source=<br />
|license=<br />
}}</pre><br />
Now, when actually filling out these parameters, you will almost certainly not need all of them, and many should be deleted when going through the template upon uploading. Lets look at each parameter and what they mean, and how each should be filled out.<br />
<br />
*'''|description=''': This parameter is for writing a summary of what the file contains. A file description should be short and concise, requiring no more than one sentence to explain. For example, a piece of artwork of Kirby from ''Kirby Super Star Ultra'' could simply be described as "Artwork of [[Kirby]] from ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]''."<br />
<br />
*'''|game=''' and '''|media=''': These two parameters are an either/or situation. Primarily, |game should be used for any single-game images. Only the direct American name of the game should be entered into this parameter (IE |game=Kirby Super Star) with no additional formatting. Entering a game into the |game= parameter will do two main things: An italicized link will be generated pointing to the game, and the file will be added to the appropriate game category. A file with "|game=Kirby & The Amazing Mirror" will display "''[[Kirby & The Amazing Mirror]]''" and it will be added to the [[:Category:Kirby & The Amazing Mirror images|Kirby & The Amazing Mirror images]] category. If a game is not the subject, multiple games are the subject, or automatic links won't work/aren't wanted, use the |media= parameter instead. Regardless of what parameter is selected, the other should be removed. <br />
<br />
*'''|modified=''': This parameter is optional, and if not used should be deleted. This is primarily for files with significant edits or changes to them. Was a background removed? Is the image upscaled? Were arrows and numbers made for an informational diagram? If so, say so in this parameter. Filling this parameter will automatically place the file in the [[:Category:Doctored images|doctored images]] category.<br />
<br />
*'''|type=''' and '''|type2=''': This parameter covers a lot of things at once. Primarily, this parameter is to indicate what type of file it is! The list of types is the following:<br />
**audio (For audio files)<br />
**photo (For real-world images)<br />
**sprite (For sprites)<br />
**screenshot (For user-generated screenshots for video games or web pages)<br />
**officialscreenshot (For officially released screenshots, usually promotional material)<br />
**officialmiiverse (For any Miiverse posts by official Kirby sources)<br />
**officialaudio (For any audio published by HAL or Nintendo)<br />
**map (For maps)<br />
**flag (For real-world country flags)<br />
**model (For 3-D Models)<br />
**artwork (For any artwork)<br />
**boxart (For any physical box art, or cover art that serves as a substitute–particularly for online-only games)<br />
**logo (For game or series logos)<br />
**user (For user images)<br />
**tv (For screenshots of television or video media, particularly of the Anime series)<br />
**scan (For scans of physical media or digital copies of printed work)<br />
**wiki (For images relating to Wikirby as a platform)<br />
**food (For real-world images involving Kirby Café)<br />
**ppp (For Channel PPP Twitter posts)<br />
**directory (For Dedede Directory Twitter posts)<br />
**gamereports (For all other Twitter posts)<br />
**rating (For real-world game ratings, such as ESRB or CERO)<br />
:Filling out this section will do several things in addition to specifying the file type. First, it will add the file into its respective category. A |type=screenshot will add the file to the [[:Category:Screenshots]]. Additionally, filling out this parameter automatically gives the file a license, which is extremely important for [[WiKirby:Copyrights|fair use purposes]]. If two types are necessary, |type2= can be used. If not, |type2= can be deleted.<br />
<br />
*'''|source=''': This is a very important parameter. If you have a file that wasn't directly taken by yourself, it needs to be written or linked here. If you captured the file yourself, use |source=self. For images captured by other people, use |source=user and fill the next parameter below.<br />
<br />
*'''|user=''': This parameter is unlikely to be used. It should only be filled with the name of the user for people that use |source=user or |type=user. For example, if [[User:Samwell|Samwell]] was the source of an image, you would enter |source=user and user=Samwell.<br />
<br />
*'''|license=''': This parameter is unlikely to be used. It is automatically filled in if the |type= parameter is filled out, and can usually be deleted. The only reason this parameter should be filled out is if a file should be licensed in any way other than fair use, such as public domain, creative commons, or something else.<br />
<br />
===I used Aboutfile 1.0 before===<br />
The Aboutfile 2.0 update brings a lot of new changes to the table, making the template a multi-use tool, where most components are controlled through the Aboutfile template instead of the former system of Aboutfile and Licensing templates and manually written categories.<br />
<br />
The formatting to writing the template is the same, there are just new parameters from before.<br />
<br />
*'''|description=''' Still functions the exact same as before. Describe the file here.<br />
<br />
*'''|game=''' and '''|media=''' function relatively the same, but have a critical change from before. Aboutfile 2.0 automatically will link and italicize a file written in the '''|game=''' parameter, as well as automatically categorize the file to the game written. '''|media''' will do none of these things and media/categories will need to be manually written.<br />
<br />
*'''|modified=''' Still the same as before, except that filling this parameter will now place the image automatically in the Doctored images category. Are there significant edits to the photo done? Add it here.<br />
<br />
*'''|type=''' and '''|type2=''' This is the largest new addition to Aboutfile 2.0. This parameter replaces the former licensing templates like <nowiki>{{game screenshot}}</nowiki> or <nowiki>{{artwork}}</nowiki> by integrating it directly into the template. Most of the names of the types are identical to the old licensing templates. |type=artwork is the same as <nowiki>{{artwork}}</nowiki>. Type will also automatically categorize the file based off of its type, so |type=artwork will add to [[:Category:Artwork]]. In cases where a file might apply to two different types, type2= enables a second type+category to be added. There is no priority or hierarchy to the order types are entered (IE type= is not more important than |type2=). '''This section should ALWAYS be filled out'''. If there is no type given, the file will be added to a maintenance category to be fixed as soon as possible.<br />
<br />
*'''|source=''' works the same way as before, with some new additions. For self-ripped or generated uploads, use |source=self. For files sourced from Kirby Wiki FANDOM, use |source=fandom (which will add to maintenance category). '''If there is no known source, leave this section blank!''' It will automatically be added to the unsourced files category, in lieu of using the old <nowiki>{{File Source}}</nowiki> template. Lastly, if a user uploads a new revision of a file but isn't the source (IE optimizations or new re-takes of a file), utilize |source=user and read the following parameter.<br />
<br />
*'''|user=''' This is a somewhat rare and optional parameter that should only be used for |source=user sources, ''or'' for type=user files. This is how to indicate User images with a file search, in replacement of the former <nowiki>{{Personal Media}}</nowiki> template.<br />
<br />
*'''|license''' ''is an optional parameter''. In most circumstances, this will automatically be filled out as copyrighted fair use if anything is entered for the type= parameter. If a file needs a different type of license, such as Public Domain or Creative Commons, only then should this parameter be filled out.<br />
----<br />
<br />
==What Does That Mean? (FAQ)==<br />
This section is a semi-dedicated FAQ to both questions related to files and general wiki editing. Have a question? I would be happy to answer it on [[User talk:Trig Jegman|my talk page]] instead. <br />
<br />
===Why do we have different types of files?===<br />
JPG/JPEG is a lossy type of image. While compressing, the file may lose quality in order to have a better file size. They are less preferred than other file types, but that is not to say they are bad. Usually, JPGs are used for artworks or Wii U/Switch screenshots. JPG files cannot and should not be converted into other file types.<br />
<br />
GIF is a lossless types of image, revolutionary for supporting animation and transparency. It can only display 256 colors per frame, however. These files are most recommended to be used for animated images ''only'', as the successor file type is much more effective at displaying images. Additionally, gameplay GIFs should be avoided because too many colors at once causes '''dithering''', a process where color values exceeding GIF's 256 are replaced with a "best guess", usually, reducing the overall quality or accuracy. <br />
<br />
PNG is essentially GIF 2 electric boogaloo. It was designed to improve on the lossless format to be both more compressed but also have more color options available to the viewer. A majority of wiki files are in this format. PNG is also transparency supportive, and is usually the smallest file type available. The main distinction between PNG and GIF is that PNG does not necessarily have animation support. There were several attempts to add it on later down the line, such as MNG (creator:png group) or APNG (mozilla), but they do not hold universal value. While the wiki supports APNG uploads, it is not heavily suggested as it is not quite available to all users and are usually large in size.<br />
<br />
SVGs are interesting lossless files. They are universally supported, and essentially run images off text files. The two reasons that these files may be used over PNG is because they are much ''much'' smaller, and because that they can be displayed at any size without a change in quality. You want a 9000 by 9000 pixel SVG? It'll go there and look just as good as 152x152. They are only effective when it comes to line art or very simple artworks, however.<br />
<br />
MP3 is the primary audio format. While this format used to be license only, it has since expired and is free for anyone to use. It is a lossy audio format, meaning some quality is lost on creation. This helps keep the file size small for use. Everything should be able to play this file type.<br />
<br />
OGA is another audio format that might be seen, using Vorbis encoding. This was the main file format used before MP3 was widely available, but otherwise should generally be roughly similar for quality. The main difference is these files [[User:Trig Jegman#Why can't I play this OGA/OGV file?|are not universally supported]] and will not work on all devices. Sounds on OGA files should be re-recorded/exported into MP3 files—'''not converted'''—when possible to allow a wider audience to be able to see them.<br />
<br />
Notably, there are not any good universal video formats for the web. While an H.264 MP4 file is ''generally'' your best bet, it's also not very well supported on MediaWiki. It's probably better to link to a YouTube, Vimeo, or Odysee video.<br />
<br />
===Is there a difference between JPG and JPEG?===<br />
Short answer: No. Long answer: Noooooo.<br />
<br />
JPG and JPEG are entirely interchangeable and have absolutely no meaning over the other. That said, files should use always jpg to avoid issues when auto-filling parameters and to avoid duplicate naming issues.<br />
<br />
For example, the files "TheoRules.jpg" and "TheoRules.jpeg" would be considered two different files, and therefore show two different pictures. This could lead to a lot of confusion.<br />
<br />
===Why isn't this gif moving?===<br />
Chances are, it is a single frame gif. If possible, try and convert to a PNG before uploading, as they are more optimal to utilize and it generally does not affect visual quality. <br />
<br />
===I thought PNGs were supposed to be transparent===<br />
PNGs ''can'' be transparent, but they might not be. Sometimes the source uses a white background and that is ok. Transparency should not be artificially created just because an image is a PNG. '''Images should never be made transparent in systems like GIMP. Only official transparency should be used.'''<br />
<br />
===What's the deal with "inter-file periods"?===<br />
Interfile periods, periods that are in a file name that aren't for the extension, are not really great to have. While other punctuation found in a subject is usually okay, sometimes systems freak out as to when the extension starts when it comes to periods. For example, it may read a file named "Mr. T Artwork.jpg" as it should be, Mr. T Artwork, with an extension of jpg, OR it might read the file as Mr T with the extension of Artwork.jpg<br />
<br />
There doesn't appear to be a rhyme or reason as to when one happens over another, but typically it messes up in galleries over anything else. It's better to be safe and avoid them entirely. If anything, it is simply easier to read. <br />
<br />
===What's the deal with hyphens?===<br />
Hyphens are a difficult middle ground when it comes to naming files. While they should be used for anything with a hyphen specifically in the name, they should NOT be used in place of spaces. The reason for this is generally because it's easier to type without a space, and the use of hyphens simply creates more opportunities for files to be almost identically named. KSSU-Moon.png and KSSU Moon.png could be two different files, and it is not the most effective to name them so similarly.<br />
<br />
A hyphen (-), found on most keyboards, is not to be confused with a dash (—) or a minus sign (−).<br />
<br />
For example, the following could all be be different files:<br />
*Kirby-Sword.png<br />
*Kirby - Sword.png<br />
*Kirby- Sword.png<br />
*Kirby -Sword.png<br />
<br />
===What's an NCR?===<br />
An NCR is a term I use to describe files that are almost identically named. Some examples would be:<br />
*Capitalization. (EX: File:KEY Dream Land.png and File:KEY dream land.png)<br />
*Extension difference. (EX: File:Marx being cool.jpg and File:Marx being cool.png)<br />
*Hyphens (EX: File:Meta Knight.png vs File:Meta-Knight.png vs File:Meta - Knight.png vs File:Meta- Knight.png vs File:Meta -Knight.png)<br />
<br />
===Why do you have symbols all over your sandbox?===<br />
I usually use them to be able to reference different types of images. Often, I will use the at sign @, dollar sign $, percent %, ampersand &, and dead key grave ` (and rarely asterism, usually for lists ⁂) to self categorize groups of images. For example, if I am going to need to fix the aboutfiles on a set of images, I might add % to them and do all of those images at the same time. Generally, they don't mean the same thing for the same section. Relatedly, symbols are added to edit summaries to avoid autofill taking up my screen space.<br />
<br />
===What are Smart Quotes? What are Smart Apostrophes?===<br />
Smart quotes and apostrophes are a type of quote that is not on a universal keyboard. They appear like this: (“|”|‘|’). They were essentially created to add style to the regular straight quotes (sometimes jokingly called dumb quotes) as seen here: ("|'). Since Smart Quotes do not appear on most keyboards as a standard, we try to avoid them the best we can. Some browsers/OS have automatic correction to smart quotes, especially apple products. These settings can be turned off in various settings pages. Notably, smart punctuation does not allow MediaWiki functions like italicize and bold to work.<br />
<br />
'''Since some people may only be using smart quotes, pages that utilize quotations and apostrophes should have extra redirects made that utilize them.'''<br />
<br />
===Why do I keep seeing "Optimized" on files?===<br />
Image optimization is a LOSSLESS process in which an image has its metadata removed. Metadata is more text based, hidden information attached to files. Generally some metadata could include the date of capture, the file's dimensions, or type of camera used. While maybe useful for personal use, it's not necessary to have on the wiki. Hence, the emphasis on optimizing files.<br />
<br />
There are a number of programs available to optimize files. The most popular are PNG Monstrous (formerly PNG Monster), which is universal in download and is extremely effective. Running command line optimizations, Zopfli and PNGOUT are very useful as well. The other is ImageOptim, which is generally a mashup of a bunch of optimizers. The pro to using ImageOptim is that it has support for four file types to be optimized: PNG, JPG, GIF, ''and'' SVG, with a con of being MacOS exclusive. An online alternative is [https://ezgif.com/optimize EZGif], which is not the most effective method, but is a great "nothing else works" method. <br />
<br />
'''Before''' uploading a new image or revision, images are encouraged to be optimized as it helps the user load the image more effectively and saves server space. Extremely frequently used icons and images, such as ones on high use templates, may also benefit from optimization to save on load time--though this is primarily for images that do not generate thumbnails.<br />
<br />
As mentioned before, optimizing is a lossless process. Compression, which is sadly used interchangeably with optimizing, could mean either regular optimizing or the use of LOSSY compression. Lossy compression is where the image quality is reduced (by any varying amount) to make the file size smaller. '''LOSSY compression should not be used.'''<br />
<br />
===What's Gamma Brightening?===<br />
Gamma (Brightening) is a type of metadata stored on image files that change the way certain colors are displayed. Usually, it reduces the contrast amongst colors and is typically found on PNGs. While generally unwritten, the policy on gamma brightened photos is to optimize the file only if the original source does not use gamma brightening. '''If the source image contains gamma brightening metadata, it should not be optimized'''.<br />
<br />
===Why use OGA and OGV instead of OGG?===<br />
[[File:Xiph OGG Naming Standard.png|thumb|right|200px]]<br />
Way back yonder when the OGG format was introduced by Xiph.org, the only extension was .ogg; Since it became wildly much more popular in the later 2000s, they realized that the ability to have almost any type of file use OGG, they formally headlined the creation of different extensions such as OGA ([[User:Trig Jegman#Why do I keep seeing "Optimized" on files? What's PNG Monstrous?|Lossy]] Audio), OGV (Video), OGX (applications), and XFPF (weird code stuff that I don't understand). Per the [https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5334 creators suggestion,] we should use the distinguished naming scheme. <br />
<br />
===Why can't I play this OGA/OGV file?===<br />
Unfortunately, while popular in the days of 2010, the global standard has dropped universal OGG support for reasons that have yet to really be explained. Some theorize it was because apple was trying to replace it with .mov and .m4a files, but this is conjecture. Generally, google chrome is a good browser to try and view this type of file on. If possible, it may be acceptable to re-rip as MP3 files.<br />

== Italicisation in page titles... ==<br />

...doesn't work with the "normal" method of surrounding the phrase with two apostrophes. If you ''really'' needed to italicise a page title, you'd need to use the <nowiki>{{DISPLAYTITLE}}</nowiki> magic word, though it isn't necessary for the vast majority of them. --{{User:Moydow/Sig}} 19:49, 9 August 2011 (CDT)<br />

==Signature==<br />
We do not allow images in signatures (see [[Help:Custom Signatures]]). Please remove the image from [[User:Dedede: SuperStar DX!!!/sig]] if you're planning to use it.--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 10:22, 11 August 2011 (CDT)<br />
<br />
==Colon in Username==<br />
Hallo there :3 Was wondering if it would be okay with you if I removed the ":" from your user name (making it "Dedede SuperStar DX!!!"), as it is causing problems on the wiki when appearing in a user name; specifically, it breaks the "Online Users" display, which shows several non-existent users named "Dedede" when you are online (instead of showing your actual name). Just made a test acount to confirm this, and it is indeed the colon that is causing this. It's not necessarily a major issue, but I'm not sure if it causes problems with other things as well :\ --[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 14:04, 14 August 2011 (CDT)<br />
:Stressing this again in case you didn't see the message for some reason. "Dedede" just showed up 39 times in the online users list, making it stretch way past my screen borders when viewed despite not showing more than two actual users, so this is getting rather incommoding.--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 18:19, 16 August 2011 (CDT)<br />

==Plagiarism==<br />
Your article on Mario Kirby Masterpiece Video was evidently copied from the Super Mario Wiki; copying articles from other wikis is considered plagiarism and '''not tolerated''' on WiKirby (the fact the content was stolen from a NIWA neighbour (without even doing so much as link back) makes it even worse). The message right below the editing window does not say that you promise "you wrote this yourself" by submitting it for no reason - given that said message is always there and fairly apparent, submitting the content anyway even while well aware that you did not write it yourself cannot be justified. Consider yourself officially warned, and please don't do it again.--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 14:33, 24 August 2011 (CDT)<br />

'''Please read [[Help:File uploading|these]] [[Help:Formatting file pages|several]] [[WiKirby:Abbreviations|official]] [[WiKirby:File use policy|file]] [[WiKirby:Image standards|help]] [[WiKirby:Naming policy|pages]] first. It is a much broader, official guide and is more likely to answer questions before I do.''' I will use the file [[:File:Trig Demonstration Example File.png]] as an example in this demonstration.<br />
----<br />
<br />
===Giving a file a name===<br />
When naming a file, it is most important to keep three "C"s in mind: Consistency, clarity, and capitalization. Additionally, a well named file can answer the questions "What game is this" and "What is the file about" WITHOUT the need to see the file.<br />
<br />
I personally try to have all files be named in the following format: (Game Name/Abbreviation) (Object or Action) (Specifics).extension, but it is more important to remain consistent amongst the files being dealt with over this format. For a specific example, if all the other files being dealt with are in the format "Game Abbreviation Character Icon.extension", your file should properly reflect this. In terms of what 'Specifics' means, it means what the type of image is. There are about five types of images, being Artwork, Icon, Screenshot, Sprite, and Model/Render (varies). The specific is what sets that image apart from the rest.<br />
<br />
In regards to the extension, the most important part about the extension is that it needs to be lowercase. Additionally, jpeg files should be written as jpg, and ogg should be formatted as oga or ogv, depending on the file type. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ogg This is not a me thing] [https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5334 , rather it is the creater of the ogg container's request]. The reason for the former is because jpg and jpeg will display as two different files which can lead to confusion and sometimes ruin automatic linking in templates or Cargo queries.<br />
<br />
Clarity is fairly simple: The name should make sense. Avoid using more words than necessary to convey what the image is about, and if conjecture needs to be used, try and use wording that is directly used for the intended caption or surrounding context.<br />
<br />
Capitalization once again is about making sure all files have lowercase extensions, and proper uppercase letters for any abbreviations (use GAME over game). Don't use all uppercase, either. It also is to make sure that files don't have differentiating capitalization, as MediaWiki will treat them as different files.<br />
----<br />
===What to avoid===<br />
----<br />
*Capitalized extensions. Pretty good reason as to why I'd bring it up this many times if it wasn't a big deal.<br />
*Inconsistency. Files named 'THE cool Song of doom.oga' have weird, inconsistent capitalization; similar multiple files that change capitalization should be renamed to prevent it. <br />
*Overabbreviating. Shortening game names can be nice, but shortening things such as area names or characters may lead to some confusion or [[User:Trig Jegman#Terminology|NCRs]] later down the road. Whispy Woods is not that long of a name, and does not need to be written as WW, for example.<br />
*Using the gif format for static images: These can be uploaded as png files, and it is better to do so. <br />
*Having funny file names. While files about yoshi being named "ugly green frog" is a good chuckle, it also makes it very difficult to identify what the file is actually about.<br />
*Unnecessary numbers. Sometimes it makes sense to name files numerically, such as Intro 1/Intro 2/Intro 3, but if it could be reasonably avoided, it should be.<br />
*Punctuation. While you ''can'' use some punctuation, it should only be used if said punctuation appears in what the file is describing. Personally, if it is not a hyphen, I do not like to keep punctuation, such as exclaimation points or tildes. Most importantly, do NOT (ever) use periods or pound signs <nowiki>(#)</nowiki> in file names because that can affect the coding. Furthermore, do not use parentheses, quotation marks, unicode, funky letters like À; Æ; Ö, emojis (yes people have tried), or unnecessary hyphens (ex: KRD-Cool-Door-Sprite.gif). <br />
*Too broad a name. Don't name a file after only the page you are referring to, as most of the time it may come back in a later game or in another form. 'Gordo.png' or 'Kirby right back at ya.jpg' are hypothetical examples of broad naming.<br />
<br />
===Renaming existing files===<br />
The way I approach renaming a file is by first having the File page open.<br />
<br />
I then open all the pages it is both used on ''and'' pages I can edit in a new tab, but you may opt into windows or your own method instead. <br />
<br />
Move the file to the appropriate name. <br />
<br />
''Generally speaking'', all pages can be edited for correcting file names, with the exception of archives or policy pages. In these circumstances, reach out to an Administrator for help. <br />
<br />
Most importantly to change is the regular pages and galleries. Locate the image and where it is used (sometimes it may be used more than once) and replace it. I generally find it helpful to use copy and pasting here. If you have the find tool, it can help minimize time spent searching. I am not an all computer wizard, but it tends to be command-F for macs and control-F for not-macs.<br />
<br />
If you decide to preserve the user/user talk pages as well, open them up and do the same replacement if possible. Some user talk pages are protected, meaning the images are unable to be replaced. ''This is okay. This stuff happens.'' Not all images last forever, and that is why it is okay User pages don't need attention. If you can replace any images, edit ONLY the file name and nothing else. Indicate in the summary very clearly why a talk page or archive was edited. I use the term [[User:Trig Jegman#Occasionally used terminology|FNC]], file name change, but as long as people understand why, it is acceptable.<br />
<br />
Once all pages have been addressed, go to the created redirect and mark it with the <nowiki>{{delete}}</nowiki> tag. Indicate a reason for deletion (FNC would likely be understood here too). After this, check the page "What Links Here" on the left side under "Tools". On some devices, control+option+J can be pressed to get there automatically. This is helpful for two reasons: The first is to make sure you didn't miss anything! The second is to see if any linked but undisplayed files are used.<br />
[[File:Trig Demonstration Example File.png|thumb|100px]]<br />
Files can be listed with a colon before File is written [[:File:Trig Demonstration Example File.png]] or also [[:File:Trig Demonstration Example File.png|with alternate text]]. If this usage can be replaced, it should be as well.<br />
<br />
The file [[:File:Trig Demonstration Example File.png]] itself links to a variety of pages to demonstrate what has been listed above.<br />
<br />
At this point, you are done. Should you have any questions, comments, concerns, quantums, or theorems, please ask away on [[User talk:Trig Jegman|my talk page]]. Happy editing.<br />
----<br />
<br />
===Why does this matter?===<br />
Having a consistent naming structure(s) leads to easier use of the wiki! Without funky file names, people won't be confused about how to type them in, be able to search for files easier, and be able to know what each file is on a large page like a gallery without being able to see it when editing. Some people when writing could even be able to just write a filename without even having to look it up. While making file names better, it also can reach to a large amount of pages to help fix problems on those pages as well. Some less popular pages can be scanned for errors.<br />
<br />
=='''How to use aboutfile'''==<br />
===I've never used this template before===<br />
Aboutfile is the primary image template WiKirby uses to provide information on its File pages. This template does a lot in order to help organize files on your behalf, instead of you having to manually write a lot of things on your own. An example of the empty aboutfile template (which appears automatically in the summary box when uploading a new file) is as follows:<br />
<pre>{{aboutfile<br />
|description=<br />
|game=<br />
|media=<br />
|modified=<br />
|type=<br />
|type2=<br />
|source=<br />
|license=<br />
}}</pre><br />
Now, when actually filling out these parameters, you will almost certainly not need all of them, and many should be deleted when going through the template upon uploading. Lets look at each parameter and what they mean, and how each should be filled out.<br />
<br />
*'''|description=''': This parameter is for writing a summary of what the file contains. A file description should be short and concise, requiring no more than one sentence to explain. For example, a piece of artwork of Kirby from ''Kirby Super Star Ultra'' could simply be described as "Artwork of [[Kirby]] from ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]''."<br />
<br />
*'''|game=''' and '''|media=''': These two parameters are an either/or situation. Primarily, |game should be used for any single-game images. Only the direct American name of the game should be entered into this parameter (IE |game=Kirby Super Star) with no additional formatting. Entering a game into the |game= parameter will do two main things: An italicized link will be generated pointing to the game, and the file will be added to the appropriate game category. A file with "|game=Kirby & The Amazing Mirror" will display "''[[Kirby & The Amazing Mirror]]''" and it will be added to the [[:Category:Kirby & The Amazing Mirror images|Kirby & The Amazing Mirror images]] category. If a game is not the subject, multiple games are the subject, or automatic links won't work/aren't wanted, use the |media= parameter instead. Regardless of what parameter is selected, the other should be removed. <br />
<br />
*'''|modified=''': This parameter is optional, and if not used should be deleted. This is primarily for files with significant edits or changes to them. Was a background removed? Is the image upscaled? Were arrows and numbers made for an informational diagram? If so, say so in this parameter. Filling this parameter will automatically place the file in the [[:Category:Doctored images|doctored images]] category.<br />
<br />
*'''|type=''' and '''|type2=''': This parameter covers a lot of things at once. Primarily, this parameter is to indicate what type of file it is! The list of types is the following:<br />
**audio (For audio files)<br />
**photo (For real-world images)<br />
**sprite (For sprites)<br />
**screenshot (For user-generated screenshots for video games or web pages)<br />
**officialscreenshot (For officially released screenshots, usually promotional material)<br />
**officialmiiverse (For any Miiverse posts by official Kirby sources)<br />
**officialaudio (For any audio published by HAL or Nintendo)<br />
**map (For maps)<br />
**flag (For real-world country flags)<br />
**model (For 3-D Models)<br />
**artwork (For any artwork)<br />
**boxart (For any physical box art, or cover art that serves as a substitute–particularly for online-only games)<br />
**logo (For game or series logos)<br />
**user (For user images)<br />
**tv (For screenshots of television or video media, particularly of the Anime series)<br />
**scan (For scans of physical media or digital copies of printed work)<br />
**wiki (For images relating to Wikirby as a platform)<br />
**food (For real-world images involving Kirby Café)<br />
**ppp (For Channel PPP Twitter posts)<br />
**directory (For Dedede Directory Twitter posts)<br />
**gamereports (For all other Twitter posts)<br />
**rating (For real-world game ratings, such as ESRB or CERO)<br />
:Filling out this section will do several things in addition to specifying the file type. First, it will add the file into its respective category. A |type=screenshot will add the file to the [[:Category:Screenshots]]. Additionally, filling out this parameter automatically gives the file a license, which is extremely important for [[WiKirby:Copyrights|fair use purposes]]. If two types are necessary, |type2= can be used. If not, |type2= can be deleted.<br />
<br />
*'''|source=''': This is a very important parameter. If you have a file that wasn't directly taken by yourself, it needs to be written or linked here. If you captured the file yourself, use |source=self. For images captured by other people, use |source=user and fill the next parameter below.<br />
<br />
*'''|user=''': This parameter is unlikely to be used. It should only be filled with the name of the user for people that use |source=user or |type=user. For example, if [[User:Samwell|Samwell]] was the source of an image, you would enter |source=user and user=Samwell.<br />
<br />
*'''|license=''': This parameter is unlikely to be used. It is automatically filled in if the |type= parameter is filled out, and can usually be deleted. The only reason this parameter should be filled out is if a file should be licensed in any way other than fair use, such as public domain, creative commons, or something else.<br />
<br />
===I used Aboutfile 1.0 before===<br />
The Aboutfile 2.0 update brings a lot of new changes to the table, making the template a multi-use tool, where most components are controlled through the Aboutfile template instead of the former system of Aboutfile and Licensing templates and manually written categories.<br />
<br />
The formatting to writing the template is the same, there are just new parameters from before.<br />
<br />
*'''|description=''' Still functions the exact same as before. Describe the file here.<br />
<br />
*'''|game=''' and '''|media=''' function relatively the same, but have a critical change from before. Aboutfile 2.0 automatically will link and italicize a file written in the '''|game=''' parameter, as well as automatically categorize the file to the game written. '''|media''' will do none of these things and media/categories will need to be manually written.<br />
<br />
*'''|modified=''' Still the same as before, except that filling this parameter will now place the image automatically in the Doctored images category. Are there significant edits to the photo done? Add it here.<br />
<br />
*'''|type=''' and '''|type2=''' This is the largest new addition to Aboutfile 2.0. This parameter replaces the former licensing templates like <nowiki>{{game screenshot}}</nowiki> or <nowiki>{{artwork}}</nowiki> by integrating it directly into the template. Most of the names of the types are identical to the old licensing templates. |type=artwork is the same as <nowiki>{{artwork}}</nowiki>. Type will also automatically categorize the file based off of its type, so |type=artwork will add to [[:Category:Artwork]]. In cases where a file might apply to two different types, type2= enables a second type+category to be added. There is no priority or hierarchy to the order types are entered (IE type= is not more important than |type2=). '''This section should ALWAYS be filled out'''. If there is no type given, the file will be added to a maintenance category to be fixed as soon as possible.<br />
<br />
*'''|source=''' works the same way as before, with some new additions. For self-ripped or generated uploads, use |source=self. For files sourced from Kirby Wiki FANDOM, use |source=fandom (which will add to maintenance category). '''If there is no known source, leave this section blank!''' It will automatically be added to the unsourced files category, in lieu of using the old <nowiki>{{File Source}}</nowiki> template. Lastly, if a user uploads a new revision of a file but isn't the source (IE optimizations or new re-takes of a file), utilize |source=user and read the following parameter.<br />
<br />
*'''|user=''' This is a somewhat rare and optional parameter that should only be used for |source=user sources, ''or'' for type=user files. This is how to indicate User images with a file search, in replacement of the former <nowiki>{{Personal Media}}</nowiki> template.<br />
<br />
*'''|license''' ''is an optional parameter''. In most circumstances, this will automatically be filled out as copyrighted fair use if anything is entered for the type= parameter. If a file needs a different type of license, such as Public Domain or Creative Commons, only then should this parameter be filled out.<br />
----<br />
<br />
==What Does That Mean? (FAQ)==<br />
This section is a semi-dedicated FAQ to both questions related to files and general wiki editing. Have a question? I would be happy to answer it on [[User talk:Trig Jegman|my talk page]] instead. <br />
<br />
===Why do we have different types of files?===<br />
JPG/JPEG is a lossy type of image. While compressing, the file may lose quality in order to have a better file size. They are less preferred than other file types, but that is not to say they are bad. Usually, JPGs are used for artworks or Wii U/Switch screenshots. JPG files cannot and should not be converted into other file types.<br />
<br />
GIF is a lossless types of image, revolutionary for supporting animation and transparency. It can only display 256 colors per frame, however. These files are most recommended to be used for animated images ''only'', as the successor file type is much more effective at displaying images. Additionally, gameplay GIFs should be avoided because too many colors at once causes '''dithering''', a process where color values exceeding GIF's 256 are replaced with a "best guess", usually, reducing the overall quality or accuracy. <br />
<br />
PNG is essentially GIF 2 electric boogaloo. It was designed to improve on the lossless format to be both more compressed but also have more color options available to the viewer. A majority of wiki files are in this format. PNG is also transparency supportive, and is usually the smallest file type available. The main distinction between PNG and GIF is that PNG does not necessarily have animation support. There were several attempts to add it on later down the line, such as MNG (creator:png group) or APNG (mozilla), but they do not hold universal value. While the wiki supports APNG uploads, it is not heavily suggested as it is not quite available to all users and are usually large in size.<br />
<br />
SVGs are interesting lossless files. They are universally supported, and essentially run images off text files. The two reasons that these files may be used over PNG is because they are much ''much'' smaller, and because that they can be displayed at any size without a change in quality. You want a 9000 by 9000 pixel SVG? It'll go there and look just as good as 152x152. They are only effective when it comes to line art or very simple artworks, however.<br />
<br />
MP3 is the primary audio format. While this format used to be license only, it has since expired and is free for anyone to use. It is a lossy audio format, meaning some quality is lost on creation. This helps keep the file size small for use. Everything should be able to play this file type.<br />
<br />
OGA is another audio format that might be seen, using Vorbis encoding. This was the main file format used before MP3 was widely available, but otherwise should generally be roughly similar for quality. The main difference is these files [[User:Trig Jegman#Why can't I play this OGA/OGV file?|are not universally supported]] and will not work on all devices. Sounds on OGA files should be re-recorded/exported into MP3 files—'''not converted'''—when possible to allow a wider audience to be able to see them.<br />
<br />
Notably, there are not any good universal video formats for the web. While an H.264 MP4 file is ''generally'' your best bet, it's also not very well supported on MediaWiki. It's probably better to link to a YouTube, Vimeo, or Odysee video.<br />
<br />
===Is there a difference between JPG and JPEG?===<br />
Short answer: No. Long answer: Noooooo.<br />
<br />
JPG and JPEG are entirely interchangeable and have absolutely no meaning over the other. That said, files should use always jpg to avoid issues when auto-filling parameters and to avoid duplicate naming issues.<br />
<br />
For example, the files "TheoRules.jpg" and "TheoRules.jpeg" would be considered two different files, and therefore show two different pictures. This could lead to a lot of confusion.<br />
<br />
===Why isn't this gif moving?===<br />
Chances are, it is a single frame gif. If possible, try and convert to a PNG before uploading, as they are more optimal to utilize and it generally does not affect visual quality. <br />
<br />
===I thought PNGs were supposed to be transparent===<br />
PNGs ''can'' be transparent, but they might not be. Sometimes the source uses a white background and that is ok. Transparency should not be artificially created just because an image is a PNG. '''Images should never be made transparent in systems like GIMP. Only official transparency should be used.'''<br />
<br />
===What's the deal with "inter-file periods"?===<br />
Interfile periods, periods that are in a file name that aren't for the extension, are not really great to have. While other punctuation found in a subject is usually okay, sometimes systems freak out as to when the extension starts when it comes to periods. For example, it may read a file named "Mr. T Artwork.jpg" as it should be, Mr. T Artwork, with an extension of jpg, OR it might read the file as Mr T with the extension of Artwork.jpg<br />
<br />
There doesn't appear to be a rhyme or reason as to when one happens over another, but typically it messes up in galleries over anything else. It's better to be safe and avoid them entirely. If anything, it is simply easier to read. <br />
<br />
===What's the deal with hyphens?===<br />
Hyphens are a difficult middle ground when it comes to naming files. While they should be used for anything with a hyphen specifically in the name, they should NOT be used in place of spaces. The reason for this is generally because it's easier to type without a space, and the use of hyphens simply creates more opportunities for files to be almost identically named. KSSU-Moon.png and KSSU Moon.png could be two different files, and it is not the most effective to name them so similarly.<br />
<br />
A hyphen (-), found on most keyboards, is not to be confused with a dash (—) or a minus sign (−).<br />
<br />
For example, the following could all be be different files:<br />
*Kirby-Sword.png<br />
*Kirby - Sword.png<br />
*Kirby- Sword.png<br />
*Kirby -Sword.png<br />
<br />
===What's an NCR?===<br />
An NCR is a term I use to describe files that are almost identically named. Some examples would be:<br />
*Capitalization. (EX: File:KEY Dream Land.png and File:KEY dream land.png)<br />
*Extension difference. (EX: File:Marx being cool.jpg and File:Marx being cool.png)<br />
*Hyphens (EX: File:Meta Knight.png vs File:Meta-Knight.png vs File:Meta - Knight.png vs File:Meta- Knight.png vs File:Meta -Knight.png)<br />
<br />
===Why do you have symbols all over your sandbox?===<br />
I usually use them to be able to reference different types of images. Often, I will use the at sign @, dollar sign $, percent %, ampersand &, and dead key grave ` (and rarely asterism, usually for lists ⁂) to self categorize groups of images. For example, if I am going to need to fix the aboutfiles on a set of images, I might add % to them and do all of those images at the same time. Generally, they don't mean the same thing for the same section. Relatedly, symbols are added to edit summaries to avoid autofill taking up my screen space.<br />
<br />
===What are Smart Quotes? What are Smart Apostrophes?===<br />
Smart quotes and apostrophes are a type of quote that is not on a universal keyboard. They appear like this: (“|”|‘|’). They were essentially created to add style to the regular straight quotes (sometimes jokingly called dumb quotes) as seen here: ("|'). Since Smart Quotes do not appear on most keyboards as a standard, we try to avoid them the best we can. Some browsers/OS have automatic correction to smart quotes, especially apple products. These settings can be turned off in various settings pages. Notably, smart punctuation does not allow MediaWiki functions like italicize and bold to work.<br />
<br />
'''Since some people may only be using smart quotes, pages that utilize quotations and apostrophes should have extra redirects made that utilize them.'''<br />
<br />
===Why do I keep seeing "Optimized" on files?===<br />
Image optimization is a LOSSLESS process in which an image has its metadata removed. Metadata is more text based, hidden information attached to files. Generally some metadata could include the date of capture, the file's dimensions, or type of camera used. While maybe useful for personal use, it's not necessary to have on the wiki. Hence, the emphasis on optimizing files.<br />
<br />
There are a number of programs available to optimize files. The most popular are PNG Monstrous (formerly PNG Monster), which is universal in download and is extremely effective. Running command line optimizations, Zopfli and PNGOUT are very useful as well. The other is ImageOptim, which is generally a mashup of a bunch of optimizers. The pro to using ImageOptim is that it has support for four file types to be optimized: PNG, JPG, GIF, ''and'' SVG, with a con of being MacOS exclusive. An online alternative is [https://ezgif.com/optimize EZGif], which is not the most effective method, but is a great "nothing else works" method. <br />
<br />
'''Before''' uploading a new image or revision, images are encouraged to be optimized as it helps the user load the image more effectively and saves server space. Extremely frequently used icons and images, such as ones on high use templates, may also benefit from optimization to save on load time--though this is primarily for images that do not generate thumbnails.<br />
<br />
As mentioned before, optimizing is a lossless process. Compression, which is sadly used interchangeably with optimizing, could mean either regular optimizing or the use of LOSSY compression. Lossy compression is where the image quality is reduced (by any varying amount) to make the file size smaller. '''LOSSY compression should not be used.'''<br />
<br />
===What's Gamma Brightening?===<br />
Gamma (Brightening) is a type of metadata stored on image files that change the way certain colors are displayed. Usually, it reduces the contrast amongst colors and is typically found on PNGs. While generally unwritten, the policy on gamma brightened photos is to optimize the file only if the original source does not use gamma brightening. '''If the source image contains gamma brightening metadata, it should not be optimized'''.<br />
<br />
===Why use OGA and OGV instead of OGG?===<br />
[[File:Xiph OGG Naming Standard.png|thumb|right|200px]]<br />
Way back yonder when the OGG format was introduced by Xiph.org, the only extension was .ogg; Since it became wildly much more popular in the later 2000s, they realized that the ability to have almost any type of file use OGG, they formally headlined the creation of different extensions such as OGA ([[User:Trig Jegman#Why do I keep seeing "Optimized" on files? What's PNG Monstrous?|Lossy]] Audio), OGV (Video), OGX (applications), and XFPF (weird code stuff that I don't understand). Per the [https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5334 creators suggestion,] we should use the distinguished naming scheme. <br />
<br />
===Why can't I play this OGA/OGV file?===<br />
Unfortunately, while popular in the days of 2010, the global standard has dropped universal OGG support for reasons that have yet to really be explained. Some theorize it was because apple was trying to replace it with .mov and .m4a files, but this is conjecture. Generally, google chrome is a good browser to try and view this type of file on. If possible, it may be acceptable to re-rip as MP3 files.<br />

<div>==So how do we plan on dividing this up?==<br />
How exactly are we planning to divide this game up? there are 12 courses, 8 in singleplayer and 4 in multiplayer, with 8 holes each. For a while, it appeared that we were going to divide them by hole, but now it seems like we'll only be making pages for courses. Which one should we go with? {{User:Pinkyoshifan/sig}} 14:08, 23 September 2020 (UTC)<br />
:Having still not played the game yet, I cannot offer any concrete opinions on this, but here's how I would tackle this. I would suggest starting by only doing courses, and if hole details become too bulky, split them off into individual hole pages. --[[User:Samwell|Samwell]] ([[User talk:Samwell|talk]]) 14:10, 23 September 2020 (UTC)<br />
::I also haven't really played KDC, but I think 96 articles for holes is way too many. 12 sounds more reasonable. [[User:LBDCOM12|LBDCOM12]] ([[User talk:Kirb|talk]]) 14:23, 23 September 2020 (UTC)<br />
:::I have played it but not much, but from what I did play I can say for sure that we don't need an article for every hole. One per course works just fine. {{User:Gigi/sig}} 14:25, 23 September 2020 (UTC)<br />
::::As someone who competed the entire game, I think they should be created - hole pages will probably be around the size of ''[[Kirby & The Amazing Mirror]]'' room page, which we allow, however, I can go with Samwell's proposition.<br />
::::'''@LBDCOM12''' I fail to see how number of pages would to create is a problem outside of having someone to create them. {{User:Superbound/sig}} 18:05, 23 September 2020 (UTC)<br />

:Lots of different things have been named after Zero in the original Japanese version.

==Attack table==<br />
Where do the names of these attacks come from? I don't recall their being named in any official source. Unrelated to that, the table in general does not seem particularly useful, as all it does is mention random attacks the boss may or may not have in any specific game, which are listed in greater detail and in-context in the individual game sections anyway, so it seems superfluous. Overall, I also don't believe it's really necessary to put boss attacks into tables; I noticed the same thing was recently done for [[Marx]]. Tables can be nice and useful, but should only be used where they make sense, and as these don't contain anything more than descriptions and presumably unofficial names, they can just as easily be covered in plain text (and put into the context of the boss's behaviour outside of its attacks), or at most a bullet point list.--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 09:58, 3 May 2011 (CDT)<br />
:Yes, the names are unofficial. I just assumed that it would bee useful since we have the same thing for Copy Abilities. [[User:Pseudo-dino|Pseudo-dino]] 17:01, 4 May 2011 (CDT)<br />
::I understand, but there's a difference between these and the Copy Ability tables. The Copy Abilities have these tables because their attacks have official names, and information on how to perform them needs to be included as well; thus, it makes sense for them to be in a table, in order to "connect" related kinds of official info. There isn't anything to say about the boss attacks apart from describing them though, so I'm not seeing the point in making tables for them; the only column in the tables apart from the description contains unofficial information, so there is basically only one column of relevant information, and a table with one column rather defies the point of a table; hope that made sense :p By ''not'' putting them into tables, we could also avoid the need for conjectural names (which should in general be avoided unless absolutely necessary), as well as more easily incorporate them into descriptions of movement patterns etc. where necessary :3 --[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 17:58, 4 May 2011 (CDT)<br />

== Something I have noticed about Kracko's Revenge ==<br />
<br />
Kracko's Revenge appears to have longer and sharper spikes than regular Kracko. At least, that's the case for the Super Star/Super Star Ultra Sprites and possibly the Holo Defense API Holo-Kracko. Not sure if it's because of the screenshots possibly giving the illusion of the longer spikes in the Holo-Kracko Screenshots or what. But it looks like the spikes are sharper and longer. Is this the case? --[[User:806mtson|806mtson]] ([[User talk:806mtson|talk]]) 20:36, 12 May 2022 (UTC)<br />
:Comparing the sprites, it does look like the spikes on Kracko's Revenge are longer and pointier.

== Recent Edits ==<br />
<br />
Turtwig A, while going through your edits, it seems you have been using some hazy wording. I do believe you have great potential, but some of the things you are typing up are being presented backwards. An example is when you stated that the the Triple Star ability changes with the addition of the hammer when Kirby gets it instead of that upon gaining the ability, Kirby receives the hammer. Plus this, the pages you are making are too short, your secondary edits are not of quality, and both of which are gaining your hazy wording. If you fix these mistakes, I have no doubt that you will be a better editor and might even be on staff on day. Take care, {{:User:Austin/sig}} 01:30, 21 May 2010 (UTC)<br />

== Sandbox Edits ==<br />
<br />
Hello, I saw your sandbox edits changing "his" to "her" and "<nowiki>{{GENDERPRONOUN}}</nowiki>" to "'''She'''". I figured I'd explain how it works a little. When you select a gender on your preference page, the <nowiki>{{GENDERPRONOUN}}</nowiki> function will use the word "he" or "she" based on whatever you set. To test this out, view your preference page and swap the gender and look at the following statement:<br />
*{{CURRENTUSER}} is reading this. This is {{my}} talk page!<br />
At first it may seem like I wrote your name and a gender pronoun, but if you look at the code, you can see that I have not. The code is:<br />
*<nowiki>{{CURRENTUSER}}</nowiki> is reading this. This is <nowiki>{{my}}</nowiki> talk page!<br />
These are some neat things we made, and they appear differently to everyone signed in. The Currentuser function will appear as "Kirby140" when you read it, but when I read it, it will say "Axiomist". Feel free to ask if you have any questions about it.{{User:Axiomist/sig}} 21:00, 13 October 2010 (CDT)<br />
<br />
== No Good ==<br />
<br />
I've been unable to edit at all. I can only add to my talk page. Please explain this. I hope I can edit my own page...<br />
:What do you mean? What shows up in place of the edit tab on other pages? It's [[User:Turtwig A|Turtwig A]]! [[User talk:Turtwig A|My talk]] or [[Special:Contributions/Turtwig A|wiki edits]] 21:15, 23 October 2010 (CDT)<br />

I can click the edit tab, but the actual editing won't work even if I log in.<br />

<br />
==Talk Pages==<br />
Just a little reminder, the talk pages on WiKirby are not for chatting about the article's subject, but for discussing the article itself and changes that should be made to it, etc. If you want to discuss any part of the ''Kirby'' series in a way not related to this wiki, please do so at a fan forum; Kirby's Rainbow Resort has one, for instance, and I'm sure there are lots of others to be found as well :3 Try to keep the ''Kirby'' talk on here limited to discussions more closely related to the wiki's contents, though.--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 09:50, 24 October 2010 (CDT)<br />

Dark Matter...? 11:05, 20 November 2010 (CST)<br />

== Editing Problem ==<br />
I have finally figured it out. Sadly, some of my computers have character limits. Meaning, there can only be so many characters in forms and text boxes. {{unsigned|Kirby-140|20:28, 22 January 2011}}<br />
:I've asked people about that, it seems like a low flash memory problem. That can only be fixed by adding additional memory cards into your computer. {{User:Axiomist/sig}} 15:05, 22 January 2011 (CST)<br />
::Another possible cause would be a limitation of your web browser (see [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Article_size#Technical_issues this] for more information). I'd suggest installing [http://www.google.com/chrome Google Chrome], which is free and should run on even low-spec computers. --[[User:Adam|Adam]] 06:51, 2 February 2011 (CST)<br />
<br />
==Signing comments==<br />
Alright, I am getting sick of adding the "unsigned" template to every comment you make and even personally reminding you to sign your comments only to have it downright ignored again. Consider this an '''official warning'''; if you continue to ignore the requests to please sign your comments (with <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>), measures will be taken. This may be a "minor" offense, but it has been going on for way too long, and it's becoming a serious nuisance. This really would not take longer than a second, so this repeated unwillingness to cooperate is just inexcusable.--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 20:27, 12 April 2011 (CDT)<br />

== Something is NOT Right at All ==<br />
<br />
Here's what I'm talking about - It says I'm not allowed to read the [[Kirby Super Star Ultra]] article. Whenever I go to the page this is what it says:<br />

:Not sure who you're addressing here in specific, but I haven't really noticed anybody hating you (at least not on this wiki, I can't say what happened outside of it and have no power of it). If you're referring to actions I or others may have taken regarding your edits, be aware that none of these are connected to "hating" the person who made the edits; they're purely for site maintenance & article improvement reasons. If somebody should personally attack you on WiKirby though (on your talk page, etc.), let me know so appropriate actions can be taken; keep in mind though that if someone undoes an edit of yours or otherwise modifies it or brings up a wiki-related issue to you, that does not have to mean that they have any personal problems with you.--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 11:50, 17 May 2011 (CDT)<br />

:As far as I'm aware, there is no rule against bad language per se (though I'd like to know where you have heard that, as I haven't come across any "bad" words myself outside of ad spam and vandalism). If there are any of these "bad" words in actual mainspace articles or categories though or things on userspace pages written with the intention of offending people, let me know where they are so they can be taken care of.--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 19:20, 21 May 2011 (CDT)<br />

When can I be an admin?--[[User:Kirby-140|Kirby-140]]!!! 21:31, 29 May 2011 (CDT)<br />
:Even though this wiki is currently seriouusly lacking in staff, people still don't get promoted willy-nilly, especially not to admin. Make good contributions (that require little or no further changes to be up to our quality standards) in order to show that you possess sufficient editing skills and knowledge of rules, policies and standards and you may eventually be contacted about a promotion to patroller (and potentially eventually admin) rank. I'm sorry to say, but while I appreciate your ongoing contributions, your current edits don't reach the quality they should in order to become a staff member; this is not intended as an insult towards you, just an observation I have made about your contributions. (Also, directly asking for a promotion is generally frowned upon, so please don't do it.)--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 22:21, 29 May 2011 (CDT)<br />

:I guess the general solution here would be to have an admin create the account, but I'm not sure how I would do that, and given that "Dick" indeed does happen to be a name (and a part of names, such as Dickens) and a common German adjective apart from being a potentially naughty word, I took it off the blacklist as it's probably creating more hassle than it's worth. If we suddenly happen to get flooded with spam pages using it in an inappropriate manner as a result though, I may have to put it back :p --[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 21:19, 6 June 2011 (CDT)<br />

:The blacklist isn't just for "offensive" things, it's primarily to prevent spammers from spamming about stuff. I'm guessing at least the Tweet part is semi-common in spam page titles, and the other thing is likely on there because of past incidents, not that it would make sense to use it in a page title on WiKirby in any case.--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 08:56, 24 June 2011 (CDT)<br />

:::Personaly, I think everyone should have a sandbox on a subpage of their user pages. Not make an entire page for it that doesn't provide any info on kirby.

:::::This is old, I know, but I like to respond anyways for future references. As you can see, we are not stopping users from creating their own personal sandbox. If such a sandbox was not allowed, all of you would have known by now. The community sandbox was made for several reasons, with the main reason being to help new editors start out. A new editor needs somewhere where he/she can edit freely and can make as many mistakes as he/she would like without harsh criticism. Both public and private sandboxes achieve this, but it is unlikely that a new editor will make a private sandbox if he/she has no knowledge of wiki coding, namespaces, etc. If the editor in question feels he/she wants to make a private sandbox, once again, there is nothing stopping him/her. There are no threatening problems with either sandbox, so there is really no reason to delete it if that was on your mind.

<br />
== New Main Page ==<br />
<br />
While I like the backgrounds, simple and Kirby-related with stars and such, I don't think EVERYTHING needs a background. <nowiki>"Most Wanted Articles"</nowiki> could be much more discreet, like at the bottom of the page, and featured content could be more prominent, so new viewers could see that we do have great articles and not see that we have so much work to do! After seeing our featured article and picture, reading the trivia/did you know section, watching a video, and viewing some articles, then they can make an account and see what they can help with. I also think that the patterns shouldn't be grouped together as much (all blue stars on left and all yellow checkboard on right) because it makes it hard to distinguish between different boxes. Other than those few things, this is looking great. --[[User:TripleD|Triple D is awesome]] 08:19, 29 August 2011 (CDT)<br />
:If not everything has a background, it will look inconsistent like the current main page does, though :\ As for the wanted pages, while I want to replace those with something else anyway (a random list of stubs, to be precise, but would need server access and tacopill's help for that and am not seeing much cooperation at the moment), they're current the best thing we have to direct attention towards things that need to be done (I had been thinking about moving them above the lineup template, even). What needs to be considered is that the wiki lacks a good base of contributors more than anything else, so directing attention towards things that need be done rather than things that already exist seems to make more sense to me; while you do have a point there, not everyone will actually bother to scroll down on the main page and do all these things you presume they would, so hiding this at the bottom seems to limit its utility. As for the grouping together, I'm just following the way it currently (mostly) is, and was thinking it helped telling apart different kinds of information, but then again, I actually don't quite see anymore how the left and the right tower are different, actually. Honestly, the current main page's arrangement is a bit of a mystery to me. I'm going to look at some things later and try to make a more colourful arrangement.--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 10:26, 29 August 2011 (CDT)<br />
Alright, made some changes to make it more varied; does this look any better?--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 12:08, 29 August 2011 (CDT)<br />
:On a different note, I'm considering replacing the bubbles in the Did You Know box with '''File:KSSArtStone.png'''. While there's nothing wrong with the bubbles, they seem a bit placeholder-esque as they have nothing to do with trivia (other boxes with images tend to have those relate at least a little to the box's subject); while the Kirby statue doesn't have ''that'' much to do with it either, it does trigger associations with museums and more or less interesting information for me (the plaque contributes a lot to that), and I also like how it looks. The final result would look somewhat like this:<br/>[http://www.duckattack.de/DYKpreview.png Clicky!]<br/>Any thoughts on this?--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 15:10, 29 August 2011 (CDT)<br />
::I think that the linked image above looks good, as does the rest of the new Main Page. :). Very nice choices for texture backgrounds. [[User:Tacopill|Tacopill]] 14:53, 30 August 2011 (CDT).<br />
<br />
== Buttons ==<br />
<br />
Generally, the buttons look fine in text and tables, though the A looks a little big in comparison to the button (it takes up a lot of the button). I do not think that should be too much of a problem though, that may be just my personal preference :P <font style="background: #fffffff" face="none" color="teal">[[User:T.c.w7468|<span style="font-family:Sylfaen; color:#000080;">'''T.c.w'''</span>]][[User talk:T.c.w7468|<span style="font-family:Sylfaen; color:#800000;">'''74'''</span>]][[Special:Contributions/T.c.w7468|<span style="font-family:Sylfaen; color:#008000;">'''68'''</span>]]</font> 22:09, 12 January 2012 (CST)<br />
:It's actually the same A as the one in the normal font used on WiKirby. I'm making the letters/numbers on buttons as big as possible so people won't have trouble seeing them (I've had negative experiences with too small letters in button images in the past). I would make the button itself bigger, but it would push the lines of text apart then; I'm currently limiting the size to 12 pixels height (which already seems kinda big in a flowing text).--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 22:29, 12 January 2012 (CST)<br />

==Kirby Super Star (Ultra) Navbox==<br />
Since [[WiKirby:Sandbox#Template:KirbySS|the layout idea for a combined ''Kirby Super Star'' and ''Kirby Super Star Ultra'' that I put in the sandbox]] has been edited recently, I felt like bringing this up again. There was a discussion on what such a navbox could look like on '''Template talk:KirbySS''', but no conclusion has been reached and there hasn't been any feedback on the proposed box (and very little on other proposals); if anyone has an opinion on it or an idea to improve it (or a different idea altogether), please do say so. It's about time that ''Kirby Super Star Ultra'' gets navbox inclusion.--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 21:51, 27 April 2012 (CDT)</div>Trig Jegmanhttps://wikirby.com/w/index.php?title=User:WillIdleAway/Filenames_of_varying_nonstandard_nature&diff=408983User:WillIdleAway/Filenames of varying nonstandard nature2023-03-05T16:43:15Z<p>Trig Jegman: </p>

most of these are because of a lack of proper spacing, not using the right or any abbreviation, NCRs, or are just not specific enough for my highly pretentious taste. edit freely if you want. anything that I know is in at least two games without a game in the name is here. everyone is here, even ziggy stardust and the thin white duke.<br />

<br />
='''Current Proposals'''=<br />
==Dream Friends pages' colored titles, revisited (March 4th, 2023 - March 18th, 2023)==<br />
<br />
Two years ago, [[WiKirby:Proposals/Archive-2021#Add Colored Titles to Dream Friend Pages (January 19th, 2021 - February 2nd, 2021)|a proposal]] was made to give featured [[Dream Friend]]s articles a special treatment by making their page titles colored. The reasoning for that was, that important characters deserve having their pages be unique and that it would be a nice, little detail. However, there are few problems as of currently.<br />
<br />
First, the proposal only affected Dream Friends, who at the time were basically synonymous with "major character". But then the next game came along with [[Elfilin]]. Under what was established in the proposal, his article can't get a special color, solely because he had the unluck to debut in a game after ''Kirby Star Allies''. And the ''Kirby'' series will still continue, and more characters will appear... It was not future-proof.<br />
<br />
Second, the inconsistency. I don't believe that featured articles should be divided into better and worse just because they happen to cover a certain topic, and colored titles make that division. In addition, a lot people are confused on why some pages get that treatment and some don't--that's certainly not helpful either. <br />
<br />
So, my solutions are:<br />
* '''Option 1: Give every Featured page special color''' (that would be my preferred)<br />
* '''Option 2: Make every Featured page white''' (opposite of Option 1)<br />
* '''Option 3: Revert to how it was before the 2021 proposal''' (Kirby had pink title font, everything else white)<br />
* '''Option 4: Give special color to every major character, not just Dream Friends''' (if the first issue is a concern but not the second)<br />
* '''Option 5: Do nothing''' (it's fine as it is)<br />

{{Option|3|Revert to how it was before the 2021 proposal}}<br />
#"''I want to emphasize that this creates an even larger inconsistency amongst page design and it's one that I would drastically prefer to not exist''"—Jegman 2021. It looked terrible from the moment it was implemented and should never have gone forward to begin with. Revert pre-2021. [[User:Trig Jegman|Trig Jegman]] - 15:15, 4 March 2023 (UTC)<br />
{{Option|4|Give special color to every major character, not just Dream Friends}}<br />
<br />
{{Option|5|Do nothing}}<br />
<br />
===Discussion===<br />
Personally I like the idea of the title colours for the unique extra flair they provide, but the part that bothers me most is that only featured articles can get this treatment. Given that these colours are based entirely on the subjects of the articles, I don't think featured status should make a difference at all, and yet [[Marx]], [[Gooey]], [[Ribbon]], and all three Mage-Sisters are excluded by this requirement. The title colour isn't even applied consistently among articles that ''are'' featured since it's missing from [[Rick]], [[Kine]], and [[Coo]] for some reason. So my ideal solution would be to just consistently apply these title colours to all Dream Friends (as well as Elfilin by the logic I explained [[Talk:Elfilin#Title colour|here]]) regardless of featured status.

Hey, dude, I've been noticing some of you edit summaries, and I wanted to let you know that you occasionally come off a bit harsh. Try to be constructive and friendly so the editors don't feel intimidated, alright? :) Other than that, you're doing a GREAT job patrolling!

==Reporting a bug==<br />
I was going to but a new version of a image of [[Chip]], so I went to upload, then the templates were VERY squashed, and the text were so small, I had to see the keyboard just to get it right. Any solutions? --[[User:KirJoey|Joey]] 5:57 PM, 15 August 2010 (UTC)<br />
:Hm, it's messed up for me as well. This appears to be a technical issue with the Wiki code, so there's not much I can do about it. I reported the bug at the staff board, though, so someone with the capabilities of fiddling with the code will hopefully fix it in the near-ish future.--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 19:43, 15 August 2010 (CDT)<br />

== Main Page work ==<br />
<br />
Hello, I just added a Wanted Pages template to the Main Page, and was wanting you to have a look and see if any further adjustments are needed for your screen resolution. After I changed my res to the lowest setting I noticed a gap still exist at the bottom of the right margin, which could hold another small template. My normal res shows the right margin slightly longer than the left. My next move will be to try to change the Videos box to make it a little more consistent between the resolution settings. {{User:Axiomist/sig}} 08:44, 18 August 2010 (CDT)<br />
<br />
:Hm, looks fine to me. I see no real problems with it currently. There's [http://www.duckattack.de/gap.png a rather tall gap below the Wanted Pages box and to the left of the video one for me, though]; not sure if that's the gap you're talking about. As for the rest of the page, it looks fine to me atm, although the right golden wing image of the News box is below the "WiKirby News Box" text instead of to the right of it because it doesn't fit into the box otherwise; not quite sure what could be done about that, though.--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 13:12, 18 August 2010 (CDT)<br />

== Check User ==<br />
<br />
[[Special:CheckUser]] is the new tool you have access to. I've only used it twice or so when EmmaWatson spammed, and when Turboo asked to block a second account (which didn't show up). So I'm not so familiar with it to write up the UserRights page on it, but if all of those new accounts adding images and nothing else have matching IPs we might as well block them, if it turns out we blocked a legitimate user, they still have the NIWA forums to inform us on and the reversal is simple enough for them.{{User:Axiomist/sig}} 15:00, 4 October 2010 (CDT)<br />

:Thank you :D The Skype alert is correct :p And that's good to hear. I do what I can to take care of stuff here, though that's not much with all the ''Kirby's Epic Yarn'' edits lately that I can't really patrol without actually having the game or any deeper knowledge about it :\ --[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 16:03, 15 November 2010 (CST)<br />

:The problem here wasn't so much the edit itself as the edit reason, actually, telling other people to also put two spaces after a period (especially with that statement coming from the head patroller); had to clear this up before more people started doing it :p --[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 12:05, 18 February 2011 (CST)<br />

== Axiomist ==<br />
<br />
hiya vellidragon..<br />
<br />
i'm sure you heard about the passing of Axiomist..which has hit me very hard emotionally, since i was very close to him. i always tried to prove myself to him yknow, so i could become an admin, and he always said it was a possibility, since it he needed more admins, which made me happy. i wanted to gain respect generally from a community, but now i just want to make sure i'm helping his wiki be the best it can be.<br />
<br />
since he's gone now..i dont have anyone to talk to from the wiki regularly, someone else to prove to. He asked me to design the WiKirby mascot, I dont know if you know about it, but if you think I'm making it up, I'm not.<br />
<br />
all I want is to make my big bro proud, so if you have skype or msn..please take the time to add me and get to know me..thanks..<br />
<br />
--[[User:HeathyChan|HeathyChan]] 12:58, 23 March 2011 (CDT)<br />
:Hallo. Yes, I know about it, and it hit me just as hard. I know exactly what you mean; I always felt pretty much the same, even though I'm already an admin. I know about the mascot thing, though I don't know what Ax's plans for that were, unfortunately; I'm not sure about a lot of his plans for the wiki, actually, though I for one will be doing my best to keep moving forward with it, hopefully with the continuing support of the rest of the remaining staff and the community. As for Skype and talking, there is a public WiKirby chat on Skype (also see [[WiKirby:Skype]], though that page is terribly outdated) that I could invite you to, though I would need to know your username on there.--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 13:24, 23 March 2011 (CDT)<br />

== Long Time, No See==<br />
<br />
So...yesh. I'm back and I CAN'T wait for the Kirby Wii to come out. :D<br />
<br />
So, I wonder if you can make a Brazilian-American Kirby? I'm really Brazilian American, and I know it could take some time, but it would be worth it since I am gonna really put it on my homepage. --[[User:KirJoey|Joey]]<br />
:Welcome back! I can wait, as I likely will hardly get to play it, like with ''Epic Yarn'', and all it means is that even more things have to be covered when we're not even nearly done covering the games that already exist ;_; *kicks a stub in frustration*<br/>As for that Kirby, I have no idea how that would look. Just a country Kirby with half of the Brazilian and half of the U.S. flag? Please specify.--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 18:19, 18 July 2011 (CDT)<br />
<br />
Yes, Half of Brazil on one side, US on the other side. Doesn't matter which side is which. --[[User:KirJoey|Joey]]<br />
:Ok, here it is: [http://www.duckattack.de/BR-USKirby.png clicky!] Just fused the already existing U.S. one with the Brazil one, but with a nicer transition. Looks kinda odd, but meh :\ U.S. flag is on the left so the stars are visible. Wasn't sure if you wanted it on WiKirby as well or just on your homepage. If you need it here, feel free to upload it. Please let me know when you've uploaded this anywhere though so I can delete it from my own webspace.--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 19:02, 18 July 2011 (CDT)<br />
<br />
Can you put it in like a template like you do with the other Kirbies? [[User:KirJoey|Joey]]<br />
:You can easily do that yourself by copying the code of an existing userbox and changing it accordingly; that's why the userboxes aren't hardcoded in the first place. You probably know better than I what colours you want, etc.--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 11:21, 19 July 2011 (CDT)<br />

== Help Me! ==<br />
<br />
Hey, uh... how are you supposed to "rank up" or whatever? I mean, I've been contributing a LOT lately, and it's not really doing anything. :-{ --[[User:Catulaster|Catulaster]] 16:07, 4 August 2011 (CDT)<br />
:It doesn't happen automatically and it has nothing to do with your amount of contributions. Users may be promoted (i.e. made part of the staff) by a bureaucrat (i.e. me) if the staff (i.e. me :\ Everyone else left or isn't particularly active) considers them worthy of a promotion; making very good edits and showing understanding of the site's standards and the general internal workings of a wiki are a requirement for that. There is no "ranking up" system; I guess the wording on the help page for this is rather confusing, which I apologise for; I believe our help pages were initially taken from a different wiki and not all of them are flawless. Anyway, I'm not yet seeing the "understanding of the site's standards" very much in your edits, but I'll be watching your contributions and if they improve, you may eventually be promoted :3 --[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 16:19, 4 August 2011 (CDT)<br/>EDIT: The guidelines in the help are partially outdated, as far as I'm aware, so you may want to look at how things are usually done and figure out standards from that; in particular, check out some articles I made and the featured ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 2]]'' page to get an idea of style and such. I'm really sorry our help pages aren't as helpful as they should be and will be working on them when I get around to do so :\ --[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 16:23, 4 August 2011 (CDT)<br />
<br />
== Contractions ==<br />
Hey. Sorry if it seems like I'm taling too much, but sorry for my abundance of contractions. It's just in my blood (I guess) to use contractions while writing. Is there any way for me to delete said contractions without deleting EVERYTHING ELSE that I've edited?! --[[User:Catulaster|Catulaster]] 10:53, 5 August 2011 (CDT)<br />
:No need to be sorry as long as you try not to use them in articles anymore :3 As for getting rid of them, unless you inserted them in a seperate edit, the only way (as far as I'm aware) to revert them without undoing other things is to do so manually for each contraction (in a new edit, as opposed to using "undo" on the old one). Ctrl+F may help you find them more easily, though (when I was "uncontracting" some contractions yesterday, I searched for ' (apostrophe) and cycled through the results; this of course finds the bold & italics code and the genitive 's as well, though, both of which should of course remain intact).--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 14:01, 5 August 2011 (CDT)<br />

== Who Knew? ==<br />
<br />
Wow. I had no idea the universe would hate me for providing a resource for Kirby artwork on a Kirby Wiki. Apparently I had done everything wrong-the images I uploaded were the wrong file type, they weren't transparent, and everyone on the wiki already knew about the site (although little to no anime artwork was uploaded). I've always disliked Wikipedia, Mario Wiki and others because of how the wiki "government" controls every page, complains about every user when "This is a free encyclopedia that anyone can edit," and undoes most edits. I have no doubt you will respond to me with hate, remove my comment from your discussion page, and possibly even ban me. Once I AM killed-I mean, you remove me from the wiki, I hope you can take time out of your busy schedule of "patrolling" to put the artwork in photoshop and remove the horrible white background that ruins the entire image. --[[User:TripleD|Triple D is awesome]] 13:47, 7 August 2011 (CDT)<br />
:Uploading images in the right format and with transparency right away, especially seeing how it's a wiki-wide standard, shouldn't really be asking too much. I don't quite understand your problem here; apparently, you are asking me to let everyone do what they want without following rules or standards? It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what an unorganised mess that would result in. Insulting me for enforcing standards in order to prevent Wikirby from becoming a mess really wasn't necessary. WiKirby, like other wikis, is indeed a "free encyclopedia that anyone can edit", but that doesn't mean that you ''should'' edit it if you're not planning to cooperate and actually enhance the site by following existing standards (not to mention you are agreeing that other people may change your contributions by submitting them, as is quite clearly explained at the bottom, so don't complain about your edits being undone. If you want to do whatever you like without running the risk of adjustments being made, maybe a wiki is not the place to go (and if you are going to insult people and throw false accusations around every time you receive critique, it definitely is not the place to go)). Thank you for your concerns about my schedule, but be informed that it mostly consists of having a life rather than "patrolling", so I would still be grateful if you did not unnecessarily take away my time. I am afraid I'm not going to ban you, but I will have to warn you to stop your aggressive behaviour.--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 14:38, 7 August 2011 (CDT)<br />

I have a rare medical condition (which I'll keep unnamed for privacy purposes) that can result in low blood pressure and crankiness, among other things. That said, I probably should stay away from talk pages (esp. the admin's) when I need to raise my blood pressure. Sorry.--[[User:TripleD|Triple D is awesome]] 17:30, 7 August 2011 (CDT)<br />
:It's alright :3 Sorry if I seemed harsh above, I had no knowledge of your condition and was just doing my job in telling you to stop. But yeah, you should probably stay away from user talks at those times :\--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 18:05, 7 August 2011 (CDT)<br />
Yes, I did upload the artwork in PNG and transparent, check out the page [[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!|here]]. :3 I'm also uploading the artwork for Whispy, Ice Dragon, Rick, and some of the villagers today. --[[User:TripleD|Triple D is awesome]] 09:35, 9 August 2011 (CDT)<br />
:Yeah, I saw that you've been uploading transparent ones.

== Curiosity about upload error==<br />
<br />
While I was uploading the images for the Kirby Super Star Ultra table, it wouldn't allow me to name a a sprite of bandana waddle dee "File: BandanaSSU.png". I got this:<br />
'''You do not have permission to do that, for the following reason:<br />
The title "File:BandanaSSU.png" has been banned from creation. It matches the following blacklist entry: .*[Aa4][Ss5][Ss5].*<br />
'''<br />
For my own curiosity, why was this title banned? --[[User:TripleD|Triple D is awesome]] 08:20, 19 August 2011 (CDT)<br />
:The word was banned because it's a swear word. I whitelisted a large number of innocent words including it, but didn't think of the possibility that anyone may want to put "SSU" after an "a". I'm going to try and whitelist it.--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 09:24, 19 August 2011 (CDT)<br/>EDIT: Done, should work as it should in the future. :3 --[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 09:30, 19 August 2011 (CDT)<br />

== Add to help ==<br />
<br />
Sorry about embedding an illegal video, won't happen again. Out of curiosity and for my own personal gain as an editor, I looked over all possibly relevant sections of Wikirby's help and found nothing against illegal videos or linking to them. While I agree this should be a defined rule, we should add it to <nowiki>"help"</nowiki> so other users don't make the same mistake. I did find a Help:Youtube on Mario Wiki, which could be used as a reference for this but Wikirby will obviously have different standards. -[[User:TripleD|Triple D is awesome]] 12:23, 25 August 2011 (CDT)<br />
:That's odd, I could have sworn we had stated this somewhere, but I can't find anything clear either :\ '''WiKirby:User Accounts''' does state linking to questionable content as a potential banning reason, though, which I presume anything illegal would fall under; should perhaps make that more obvious. The thing to realise here is that it's not WiKirby-specific, though, it's downright illegal (to my knowledge), so it should not be necessary to explicitly mention it here, as WiKirby is not exempt from the law; then again, it certainly won't ''hurt'' to mention it, necessary or not, so I'll look into that some time.--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 13:37, 25 August 2011 (CDT)<br />
::An update on this! I was in fact not mistaken when I thought that we mentioned this in the help. This sentence is in the Quality Standards:<br/>''Do not put up links to online Manga translations, fansubs of Japanese retail videos, TV show episodes, or game ROM downloads.''<br/>That should cover it nicely.--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 10:09, 27 August 2011 (CDT)<br />

:If you mean how to embed a YouTube video, use [[:Template:Youtube]]; instructions are in the template documentation. Remember not to embed anything of questionable legality, though, like free anime episodes.--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 09:27, 27 August 2011 (CDT)<br />

== Sorry, Sorry, And Sorry Again ==<br />
<br />
I'm very sorry about [[User talk:Catulaster|that]] :( I didn't know deleting those would make me seem like I'm ignorant, or whatever. But, I have one thing to ask: When you redirect an article, the redirect takes you to a page with a normal link on it (i.e. [[Top Ride]]). However, other pages (i.e. [[Turn]]) take you immediately to another page. My question: how do you do that? --[[User:Catulaster|CatuLaster]] 11:14, 28 August 2011 (CDT)<br />
:It's ok. And you make automatic redirects by not putting anything else than the redirect itself on the page; the Top Ride thing had wikicode for italics around the link, breaking it. The redirect page must only consist of "<nowiki>#REDIRECT[[target]]</nowiki>", no wikicode or anything.--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 11:58, 28 August 2011 (CDT)<br />

On an unrelated note, as I'm talking to you anyway, the Waddle Doo and Dee images on your user page appear to be fan art; if they are, please mark them as personal images as per '''Help:Personal Images''' and ensure you have usage permission by the creator if you want to keep them.--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 14:36, 14 September 2011 (CDT)<br />

:Sorry, I wouldn't know where/how to get them without stealing them, and I have never even played ''Kirby Air Ride'' :\ I'd love to help out, but I don't think I have a way to do so. I can check if a Nintendo site has images of them, but I likely won't know which course is which.--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 16:13, 28 September 2011 (CDT)<br />

== Names In Other Languages, Or Not? ==<br />
<br />
Should every article, related to something that ''actually'' has another translation, have a Names In Other Languages section? I just wanted to know, for future reference, or whatever. --[[User:Catulaster|Catulaster]] 16:56, 18 October 2011 (CDT)<br />
:No idea what you mean. Everything with names in other languages should have names in other languages listed, if you mean that.

:Thank you very much for informing me. It is, in fact, the word "weed" that is blacklisted, so everything containing that will also be blocked by default.

==Pictures==<br />
Hello Vellidragon. I'm one of the caretakers of Wikia's Kirby wiki, but that's not important. I just wanted you to know that the transparent pngs on the [[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]] article are taken from there.<br />
<br />
Gamefreak (one of the older admins) loaded up high-res jpegs and and asked me to clean them up, and I spent several hours doing so via filters and background removal tools personally (using Corel Paint Shop Pro X3). Several of those pictures I uploaded myself separately and they are not found anywhere else on the internet - the transparent Lor Starcutter pic or the group character picture straight from the PAL / Japan box art front for example - I had to decompile Nintendo's original Flash files using a specific decompiler tool (Trillix) and recompose them. These processes modify the images in a specific way - removal of artifacts modify individual pixels depending on specific filter settings, and pixel-perfect recomposition of the images from separate Flash "sprite" data using Trillix means sometimes the final image attains a faint grey edge, and the images are extracted at Nintendo's original resolution. I checked the images for duplicity by sampling pixels and they have 100% matching, so there's no doubt about the primary image source.<br />
<br />
With all due respect, I'm not asking for the images to removed unless that's how things are run - since none of us own those images and Nintendo holds the copyright, but according to Wikirby's '''inter-wiki policy''' I think [[User:Yarnkirby|Yarnkirby]] should have attributed the source of the image to the wiki at least when he/she uploaded them. I'm aware of the possibility that some third-party site might have taken the images as-is from Wikia, and Yarnkirby might have taken the pictures from there, so I really don't know.<br />
<br />
On the flipside, if you happen to discover any pictures or any content for that matter on Wikia taken straight from Wikirby, please do tell me and I'll confirm the source with the editor and remove it if it's ripped straight from another wiki or Kirbypedia / KRR.<br />
<br />
Cheers,<br />
[[User:Changtau2005|Changtau2005]] 14:27, 25 October 2011 (CDT)<br />
:I had been wondering where those images came from, actually. Let it be known that this wasn't approved by me, nor was I aware of it. I thank you for informing me and will leave the uploader a message as soon as I can. You stated you're not requesting their deletion, but I can still delete them if you change your mind; I'm not particularly attached to them and they're all just in a random gallery at the moment, so this wouldn't be too problematic. I would like to avoid hostilities, so please do tell me if anyone over there wants them gone and I'll make it happen. What I will do in any case, as soon as I have the time, is properly attribute them. Thanks again for informing me of this, and do let me know if anyone steals images from your wiki again.--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 14:40, 25 October 2011 (CDT)<br />
<br />
::Ah, no problem, and, whether they're deleted or not is really up to the decisions of Wikirby's admin team =) I just wanted to be clear that having them removed is not the intention of the message. For the record, I don't know where Gamefreak got the original jpgs from, and they don't look like scanned media. They might be for press-related institutions / publishing bodies or from e-book subscriptions or other restricted sources to which I have no access to.<br />
<br />
::Best regards, [[User:Changtau2005|Changtau2005]] 15:36, 25 October 2011 (CDT)<br />
:::Alright, I've notified the uploader and started attributing the images. If nobody is requesting their deletion, I currently don't see a reason to delete them, though it would certainly be nicer to display what is actually our own work here (we don't currently have an "admin team", btw, I'm really the only one :p). What I'm wondering about, though, is whether [[:File:KRtDL Kirby Dash Artwork.png|File:PuffballRtDL.png]] was also stolen, as it wasn't uploaded by Yarnkirby and we do have at least one other transparent image in the gallery evidently not from the Wikia (namely [[:File:Kirby KRtDL.png]]). The PuffballRtDL image does resemble yours, but it appears to be a different file size (unless the displayed size on either wiki is off), so I'm not sure.--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 13:34, 26 October 2011 (CDT)<br />
<br />
::::Those two you mentioned are good; there aren't any duplicates on Wikia of current / previous uploads that I'm aware of. It's curious that KirbyKRtDL.png shares the same 3k by 3k resolution but I think it's purely coincidence. The one on Wikia is full-color depth and has less effective resolution than the version on Wikirby, which I think might be a png conversion from a 256-color gif file with dithering. They're definitely not the same files. [[User:Changtau2005|Changtau2005]] 20:02, 26 October 2011 (CDT)<br />
:::::Alright, thank you very much :3 I won't have to issue any more reminders then. Thanks again for checking these!--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 11:21, 28 October 2011 (CDT)<br />

== Plagiarism ==<br />
<br />
Aside from the trivia, I think the Galacta Knight is okay, and the True Arena article looks okay, too. The story section from Kirby's Return to Dream Land was taken from the Wikia's Magolor article. I took out the boss list, since it was probably copied, but for that content there isn't really any other organization method. <br />
<br />
It looks like Keeby got the images from the Kirby Wikia, also, except for Keeby2.png. <span style="text-shadow:0px 0px 3px rgba(70,130,180,.8)">'''''[[User:Sky|<font color="#4682B4">-Sky</font>]] <small>[[User talk:Sky|<font color="#4682B4">(talk)</font>]]</small>'''''</span> 22:42, 3 November 2011 (CDT)<br />

::Ah, thanks for reminding me of the images. Didn't have much time lately, but I'll delete them now. I'll delete the Keeby one as well as it's fan art and, last time I checked, not marked as personal or used anywhere. (On an unrelated note, are you the same Sky as the Nookipedia lead editor? We have this ambassador user group which I believe is for non-WiKirby NIWA staff, though it hasn't been used much. I could add you to that if that's the case, it would autopatrol your edits and some other little things apparently ([[Special:ListGroupRights]]).)--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 10:58, 7 November 2011 (CST)<br />
:Ok, I deleted what I could confirm was taken from wikia; unfortunately, I cannot find wikia equivalents of '''File:Magolors_soul.png''', '''File:Magolor_Boss2.jpg''', '''File:Landia.jpg''' and '''File:Magolor_Boss.jpg'''; while I have no doubt they were stolen from somewhere, I can't rightfully delete them without confirmation that they were. Did those images use to be on the wikia but have since been deleted? They're all very low-quality, so that wouldn't be unlikely.--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 11:16, 7 November 2011 (CST)<br />
<br />
::Looking now, I don't see duplicates for those images either (one of them I thought was a duplicate was actually just very similar). There is a recent deletion log entry for a Magolor Soul image, so that one could be one of the images here.

<br />
::Sorry to interrupt, but no, the four images you listed, Vellidragon, were not stolen from the wikia site. However, I think the '''File:Magolors_soul.png''' may have been on the site, but it's long gone now. Hope this clears things up. {{User|Gamefreak75}}<br />
:::Thank you very much; I had been meaning to contact you on this, but I guess that's not necessary anymore :3 I suppose if they're not from the wikia, they can remain on here for now unless they turn out to be stolen from some other place. They will eventually have to be replaced anyway, as they're very low quality, so it's just a temporary thing in any case.

== I Blame Gordo... ==<br />
<br />
[[Gordo|...for the "Appearance" sections]]. =P<br />
<br />
Anyway, I found the article formatting guide, and they way it's set up, a lot of articles (like the enemies) don't have any headings for the main content, which makes them look unappealing (in my opinion). For example, the [[Batty]] article has enough information to fill a decent-sized article section, but all of it is put into what I would consider an introduction section.<br><br />
Is there any other format to use for those types of articles that would give them some more organization? <span style="text-shadow:0px 0px 3px rgba(70,130,180,.8)">'''''[[User:Sky|<font color="#4682B4">-Sky</font>]] <small>[[User talk:Sky|<font color="#4682B4">(talk)</font>]]</small>'''''</span> 12:58, 13 November 2011 (CST)<br />
:Yeah, some articles still have appearance sections; this is mainly as I keep planning to rewrite stuff completely and remove those while I'm at it, but I'm rarely finding the time for that. I went by what most articles (well, newer ones; the Gordo article, among some others, is still from the wiki's beginning stages, as far as I'm aware) already looked like when I wrote the formatting guide to properly be able to enforce some consistency in the future as well, and I don't believe short-ish articles need any more organisation (and I like how they look, myself, though 1024x768 resolution may make them look better). They're organised just as well as the longer ones, except the latter are divided into games, which can't be done when there's only one game to deal with, and interspersing the paragraphs with section headings just for the sake of having section headings isn't going to improve them. Ax said long ago when the topic was brought up that headings should only be used when there's a need to divide information, and I honestly don't see a need for such a division in articles with 2-3 paragraphs and only a single game appearance; besides, enforcing such a format on single-game articles makes no sense without also using the same format in the game sub-sections of multiple-game articles, which will just become cluttered then. Making articles using the current formatting standards actually earned me my staff position to begin with, so I figure that's the way Ax wanted them to look and I currently have no plans to change that (not only in honour of his memory but also because I see no necessity).--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 13:22, 13 November 2011 (CST)<br />

Hey, Vellidragon. I was wondering what I should write for the Top Ride course (Light, Metal, Grass, etc.) articles. I'm pretty sure that if I put the basic information and all that general stuff, the articles'll be ''way'' to short. If you could just assist me a little, that'd be greatish. --[[User:Catulaster|Catulaster]] 10:05, 10 December 2011 (CST)<br />
:Gladly would, but as I believe I have stated before, I have never played ''[[Kirby Air Ride]]'' and know practically nothing about it, so I won't be able to help with ''Air Ride'' coverage, sorry :\ I neither have the money nor the time (anymore) to actually buy and play all these games, so there'll always be a couple whose coverage I won't be able to help on (or properly monitor).

== Image Transparencies ==<br />
<br />
Hello, I just uploaded (and reverted my upload) of a KRtDL Ice Kirby file because I see a white background, so I opened it up in GIMP and removed the white into transparency, then uploaded, and the problem was still there, despite the fact that if I load it in GIMP, it shows as transparent? I'm kind of inexperienced in these matters, so may you offer some help? Thanks :) [[User:T.c.w7468|T.c.w7468]] 21:17, 28 December 2011 (CST)<br />
:You likely didn't do a clean refresh in your browser and it was loading the older, cached version of the image. I don't know what browser you are using, but in Firefox, holding Ctrl and hitting F5 will perform a clean refresh. I can confirm your transparent image was working fine and looking good, so feel free to revert back to that :3 It was just a browser cache-related issue.--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 21:22, 28 December 2011 (CST)<br />

::Hope I understood this right... If you mean uploading a new version of an image that's a different format than the currently uploaded one, I don't believe that works. If your new version is a different format, just upload it as a new file rather than a new version of the existing one and manually adjust the filename where the image is used (or if it's used in many articles, let me know and I can text replace them).

::Did you read my edit summary? It's the point value that's awarded when ANY projectile destroys an enemy; there is NO difference between puffing air or spitting a star at them. I just checked the game again to confirm this, and can also confirm that the same amount of points is also rewarded if Kirby simply bumps into the enemy (presumably, using a bomb or microphone also awards this amount). Therefore, it is reasonable to treat this (more commonly awarded) amount of points as the base value and consider the points awarded for inhaling the enemy the exception, as inhaling an enemy is the only case in which the player receives a different amount of points.--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 16:25, 15 June 2012 (CDT)<br />

When I upload a giant PNG screenshot, I am unable to do so because eventually, the page directs to "The Connection has Reset" or something like that. The file size is around 1 MB (which is big for a picture), which doesn't exceed the file size limit by far. However, when I upload the same picture in JPG format, it's fine. What's going on?

:I wish I knew. Perhaps it's a server thingy, but I have no way of finding out as the only person with server access practically never responds to me. If all else fails, try using pngcrush on the image and see if you can reduce the size any further.--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 16:41, 30 June 2012 (CDT)<br />

==Ado/Adeleine Verdict==<br />
A couple months back, there was an encyclopedia of Kirby's history for his 20th anniversary released only in Japan. One of sections cracks the code of Ado's gender and relationship to Adeleine. Rough translation: "Ado and Adeleine are '''girls''' who came to Pop Star to study art. They are almost identical to each other in appearance and fighting style. Although there is much debate whether they are the same person, '''it is probable that they are one and the same, Ado is her nickname and Adeleine is her birth name'''." [[User:Technickal]]<br />
:Nice find! I suppose we can refer to Ado as female now with the relevant portion as a reference (it would be great if the original Japanese could be cited, not just a translation, so it can be verified that it wasn't distorted through mistranslation). As for identity, if even the encyclopaedia doesn't 100% confirm that they are the same ("probable"), I think we should keep them seperate, but definitely point this out (again with this source; original Japanese would be even more important to have here).--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 11:22, 21 June 2013 (CDT)<br />

== Main Page update? ==<br />
<br />
Hey, Vellidragon! I'm new-ish around here---I created my account almost 2 years ago but only decided to become active last week---and I've been doing things (mostly of the organizational variety) to tidy up a bit over the past few days. One thing that's been bugging me, however, is the main page. It's...pretty outdated! There's a message celebrating the 2nd anniversary of the wiki...over 2 years ago, and the new/upcoming games box makes no mention of Triple Deluxe! I realise that WiKirby's not the most...active wiki, to say the least, but maybe if the main page were up to date, it would become at least a little more active. (...Maybe?)<br />
<br />
<br />
I'd do something about it myself, but I obviously don't have the proper permissions. You appear to be the only semi-active admin around these parts, so I guess it's up to you! So, uh...in summary, it'd be great if you would wipe some of that metaphorical dust of the main page. Thanks! :) --[[User:EzloSpirit|<span style="font-family:courier; color:#5ca028;">EzloSpirit</span>]] <sup><span style="font-family:courier;">([[User talk:EzloSpirit|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/EzloSpirit|contribs]])</span><sup> 06:19, 15 May 2014 (UTC)<br />
:You are so right! Sorry for not getting back to you earlier. There are so many outdated things here especially since tech people keep screwing up the server and having to restore from age-old backups and I'm lacking the time (and by now motivation thanks to the repeated sever screw-ups) to work on them. :( I don't have much hope left for the site after all the times the server went down and/or the account database got nuked, usually with little to no explanation from the tech people responsible. I lost tons of contributions here myself. Things like that and being occupied with more important things just killed my enthusiasm for the site, which I'm sorry for, but I don't see it coming back right now.<br />
<br />
:So, I currently have no idea when or if I will feel up to the task of cleaning things up. :( I'm not sure if anyone would care by now either way, the continuous tech-side failures probably drove people away. Sorry.--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] ([[User talk:Vellidragon|talk]]) 02:55, 11 June 2014 (UTC)<br />
:EDIT: We actually did have an announcement about Triple Deluxe on the main page and some coverage, but it all was lost thanks to the aforementioned screw-ups on server side.--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] ([[User talk:Vellidragon|talk]]) 03:06, 11 June 2014 (UTC)<br />

It turns out that user has also vandalized other pages and has created ones for non-existing things such as '''Kirby & the Bathroom Mirror''', '''Red Reds''' and '''Mario Air Ride'''.

== Update ==<br />
<br />
Hello. Could you update the table at the bottom of the edit table where there are NIWA links? No new wikis since F-Zero Wiki has been added. Thanks! --[[User:Raltseye|<span style="color:#FF6464">R</span><span style="color:#11BB11">alts</span><span style="color:#6464FF">eye</span>]] [[User talk:Raltseye|prata med mej]] 08:14, 13 February 2018 (UTC)<br />
:Wow, I never knew those links were there! Had to check to even know what you meant. Thanks for pointing this out, I'll be looking into it later.--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] ([[User talk:Vellidragon|talk]]) 16:39, 13 February 2018 (UTC)<br />

== Remove the Main Page's title? ==<br />
[[User:Raltseye|Raltseye]] and I are thinking of removing the title 'Kirby Wiki' at the top of the main page, as many other wikis do that as standard practice. Would this be fine by you? --[[User:Fubaka|Fubaka]] ([[User talk:Fubaka|talk]]) 20:55, 10 March 2018 (UTC)<br />
:I think it's titled that way to help us show up in searches for a "Kirby Wiki", since the site name doesn't include it. I don't know how much it benefits us, but it probably doesn't hurt to keep it there.--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] ([[User talk:Vellidragon|talk]]) 23:01, 10 March 2018 (UTC)<br />
::Hmm, at the same time, when I do a search for 'Kirby Wiki' on Google, the page title isn't what's highlighted when we get to WiKirby. Instead, it highlights "a '''Kirby Wiki''' encyclopedia that anyone can edit". That wouldn't go away if we hid the title. --[[User:Fubaka|Fubaka]] ([[User talk:Fubaka|talk]]) 23:22, 10 March 2018 (UTC)<br />
:::I'm not finding anything for or against the idea, so I don't think page titles are taken into consideration for SEOs. (semi-releated: [https://searchengineland.com/nine-best-practices-for-optimized-title-tags-111979]). <br />
:::It is important to have a <code><title></title></code> tag, which is handled by the software. But that is "WiKirby" for the main page and not "Kirby Wiki". <br />
:::The main page might be hard coded to ignore it entirely. For comparison, see [[Wing]]'s title as <code><title>Wing - WiKirby</title></code> and this pages title as <code><title>User talk:Vellidragon - WiKirby</title></code>.<br />
:::So, in summary: If you think it isn't helping, then I see no harm in removing it. <br />
:::Hope I helped, [[User:Tacopill|Tacopill]] ([[User talk:Tacopill|talk]]) 04:35, 11 March 2018 (UTC)<br />
::::Hate to bug you about this again, but have you come to a decision on whether we should remove the title or not? --[[User:Fubaka|Fubaka]] ([[User talk:Fubaka|talk]]) 22:23, 23 March 2018 (UTC)<br />

:Hey, you can link to files directly with <nowiki>[[:File:Name.png]]</nowiki>. I've deleted most of them, I'm not sure what happened with The Sean1596 and if we'll need that image again and "GenoKirby.png" doesn't seem to exist. I'm keeping CDToSBox.jpg for now since it was part of an archived April Fools page which still has it in the code (but commented out along with the infobox so the page doesn't get categorised). May need to put the infobox back without a template eventually if people want to see it, but it's not very important.

== MediaWiki Sidebar ==<br />
<br />
Hi, is it ok if you remove the NIWA wikis from [[MediaWiki:Sidebar]]? It looks too long if you use the Monobook skin, and i have to scroll to the search bar. [[User:Results May Vary|Results May Vary]] ([[User talk:Results May Vary|talk]]) 23:08, 27 October 2018 (UTC)<br />

== Independent translation portal request ==<br />
<br />
This is Falco. Some fan translators are opening an independent WordPress called Popstar Press. It's basically a portal for publishing various fan translations of the Kirby series.<br />
<br />
They want to add some affiliated blogs in their external links, and ask if they can put Wikirby as one. It can help boost our data.<br />

:Oh, sorry, I never got an email about this. Affiliates are always good! I see they're linking to us already so I should probably put a link to them in the affiliates section, although I have some concerns due to the questionable legality of what they're doing.--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] ([[User talk:Vellidragon|talk]]) 01:37, 13 November 2018 (UTC)<br />
::I'm really rather worried about the legal implications of linking back to them with regards to our ads possibly being pulled, so I've taken the link back down for now.

== Message reminder ==<br />
Greetings, Velli. I sent you an e-mail a couple days ago, and am wondering if you received it. Cheers. --[[User:Fubaka|Fubaka]] ([[User talk:Fubaka|talk]]) 04:03, 3 March 2019 (UTC)<br />
:Hey! Yeah, I got the email. I've been out of the loop on WiKirby lately and occupied with many, many other things. I was just about to get to it, though. Thanks for keeping an eye on everything!--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] ([[User talk:Vellidragon|talk]]) 03:46, 4 March 2019 (UTC)<br />

<br />
== New MonoBook Skin ==<br />
<br />
There's a new monobook skin on the wiki that I designed you're interested in checking it. Personally I'd prefer it as the default skin (WiKirby Classic being a secondary via Special:Preferences). Do you like the skin? [[User:Results May Vary|Results May Vary]] ([[User talk:Results May Vary|talk]]) 13:54, 31 March 2019 (UTC)<br />
:Hey, what do you mean? Where can I view the skin? Thanks.--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] ([[User talk:Vellidragon|talk]]) 23:53, 7 May 2019 (UTC)<br />
::The skin has been installed in place of Monobook. You can activate it by going to your preferences. Let us know what you think. --[[User:Fubaka|Fubaka]] ([[User talk:Fubaka|talk]]) 03:03, 8 May 2019 (UTC)<br />

::::Oh, I don't think I got an email about the message from May. It looks really cool! The "Go" and "Search" buttons should turn the cursor into a finger though like on the classic skin. They're not giving any visual feedback that they're clickable right now.---[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] ([[User talk:Vellidragon|talk]]) 18:26, 4 June 2019 (UTC)<br />
:::::Ah. I could do some poking to see if that can be fixed. --[[User:Fubaka|Fubaka]] ([[User talk:Fubaka|talk]]) 19:47, 4 June 2019 (UTC)<br />

== Inactive notice ==<br />
Greetings, Velli. I don't know if you will receive this message, but I feel obligated to send it out anyway. Given that your last action on the wiki was on the 4th of June, I suspect you are well and truly done with WiKirby. As such, it is my intention to move you formally into the inactive staff category. Keep in mind that at any time, even after this change is enacted, you will be allowed to return to your rank(s) as they are defined at the time of this writing if you wish it so. If I receive no word back from you on this page, you will be moved to former staff on January 1st, 2020.<br />
<br />
I suspect that, based on how things have gone, this will be my last message to you. I don't know why you chose to leave, but I hope you are doing well. I have WiKirby well in hand at this point, and it is my intention to continue to watch over it, and help guide it on its continued growth and success. Based on the current level of activity, we should be well on our way to filling in the remaining gaps in the wiki's knowledge base by the end of next year, and a 4000 article milestone should not be unreasonable to meet by then as well. To be honest with you, I had always wanted to become something akin to the Editor-in-Chief here, but I had hoped it would have been with your assent, rather than your absence.<br />
<br />
At any rate, I have spoken for long enough. To reiterate, I will move you to inactive staff on January 1st, 2020 unless you want to return to WiKirby, or you wish me to move you sooner. I will keep watch for a response until then. Best wishes. --[[User:Fubaka|Fubaka]] ([[User talk:Fubaka|talk]]) 14:43, 1 December 2019 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Hi, I never left, I just assume everything is fine if I'm not getting notifications from my talk page. That said, I got no email from this message and I don't know what's up with that. Is there anything else I haven't addressed?--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] ([[User talk:Vellidragon|talk]]) 19:37, 1 December 2019 (UTC)<br />
::Then I assume you're aware of every major thing that's happened on the wiki since we last spoke? Tacopill initially gave me the impression that we called for a new Editor-in-Chief election because he couldn't reach you. That said, I'm not surprised you didn't get an email notification for the last set of messages on your talk page, since the mechanism responsible for sending those has been broken for a while. Hopefully that is something we will have fixed next year.<br />
<br />
::That said, even if you have been here this whole time, you haven't been active at all, and the rest of us had truly believed you were gone. As such, it still may be appropriate for you to move to former staff until such a time that you want to be involved with the wiki again. As I said, I have the wiki well-in-hand at this point, so it's not necessary for you to continue keeping watch if you don't want to. Let me know what you would like in that regard. --[[User:Fubaka|Fubaka]] ([[User talk:Fubaka|talk]]) 20:51, 1 December 2019 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::I believe the purpose of the activity status is to let people know who they can contact if they need staff assistance, and I'm still available for that. I don't know where the impression comes from that I can't be reached because I generally check everything that I get an email about, I just rely on people to bring things to my attention. If no one's involving me in anything, there's not much for me to do since the site has patrollers/mods/tech people who are able to take care of essential tasks without me and contributor who know more than I about recent games. Is there something people want me to do? I'm always on standby, but I'd need to know what people want of me to become involved.--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] ([[User talk:Vellidragon|talk]]) 00:10, 2 December 2019 (UTC)<br />
::::Alright then. If you still believe you will be available, then I can return you to active status. It would put us all at ease if you dropped on by the wiki every now and then to comment on things though, just so we know you are still interested in the community. I don't know if you are still opposed to using Discord, but that is also available for you to join. We have over 100 people there, and a lot of wiki discussion happens there too. --[[User:Fubaka|Fubaka]] ([[User talk:Fubaka|talk]]) 01:12, 2 December 2019 (UTC)<br />

== Regarding old file sources ==<br />
Greetings, Vellidragon. I'm contacting you because right now we are reformatting all the file pages, and we are unsure if the sprites and screenshots uploaded by you, Moydow, and other prominent pre-2015 members were self-captures or taken from another source. We want to make sure that as many of our files as possible are properly sourced, so if you could impart us with some knowledge on these old files, that would be most helpful. Thanks in advance. --[[User:Samwell|Samwell]] ([[User talk:Samwell|talk]]) 18:50, 6 December 2021 (UTC)<br />
:All my sprite and screenshot uploads are self-captured, if not stated otherwise (I don't actually think there are any that state otherwise, but it's been ages, so just in case).--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] ([[User talk:Vellidragon|talk]]) 22:07, 6 December 2021 (UTC)<br />

== Regarding the old WiKirby favicon ==<br />
Greetings. Just out of curiosity, do you happen to know who made the original WiKirby favicon ([[:File:Old WiKirby Favicon.png|this guy here]])? Mainly asking for historical purposes and to get it off the files lacking sources list. --[[User:Samwell|Samwell]] ([[User talk:Samwell|talk]]) 23:53, 18 December 2021 (UTC)<br />
:Hi, I don't know, sorry! The favicon was already in place when I found out about WiKirby, along with the original skin (the blue one). Maybe whoever made that skin would know?--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] ([[User talk:Vellidragon|talk]]) 00:32, 19 December 2021 (UTC)<br />
::Alright. Thanks for getting back to me. I'll probably go ask tacopill next, then. --[[User:Samwell|Samwell]] ([[User talk:Samwell|talk]]) 04:39, 19 December 2021 (UTC)<br />

==About Skype==<br />
Hello, Velli! We've been trying to find the creator of the old WiKirby logo so we have a source for the image, but we can't find much of anything. The only thing we can think of at this point is if this was mentioned in the old Skype chat logs you guys were in in the past, and from what we can tell, you're one of the only people around who still might have access to that--if the place even still exists, of course. Would you mind taking a look in there sometime if possible?<br>Oh and, if you don't have time to search around, I would be willing to do so if you gave me access to the place. -- {{User:MetaDragon/sig}} 05:11, 21 January 2022 (UTC)<br />
:Hi, I don't know if I would be able to access the Skype room, but I'm pretty certain that chat history on Skype is only visible from the point that someone joins a room, so I wouldn't be able to see anything from before my time either way. Like I said, the icon was already in place when I found the site, so it wouldn't be in my logs. Sorry! :( --[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] ([[User talk:Vellidragon|talk]]) 05:28, 21 January 2022 (UTC)<br />
::Yeah, I've been spending a lot of time trying to find the creator of the original WiKirby logo, and it's a bit embarrassing that we don't know who it was anymore.

:::Furthermore, screenshots of other people's YouTube videos are not as likely to qualify for fair use as they introduce the need for permission/infringe upon the copyright of other people.

Often throughout the ''Kirby'' series, the tentative titles go by "Kirby for (console)" or simply "Kirby (console)" - such as ''[[Kirby for Nintendo Switch]]'', ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe|Kirby for Nintendo 3DS]]'' (actual name announced a week later), then ''[[Kirby Wii]]'' or ''[[Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land|Kirby GBA]]'' to name a few examples, and this is also true with ''[http://web.archive.org/web/20071202061129/http://www.nintendo.co.jp/n10/e3_2005/gc_soft/ Kirby for Nintendo GameCube]'' according to the event section on Nintendo's website. As far as I'm aware, it hasn't been referred to with a name in any later material (and without in [https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/266426802321227778/701396760743903252/117_-_tuhuQUl.jpg 20th Anniversary encyclopedia], [https://discord.com/channels/266426802321227778/266426802321227778/701549003162255380 here translation]).<br />
<br />
Colloquially among the fandom it's known as ''Kirby GCN'', and such short alternatives are probably easier to use, but that has yet to be found to have been officially utilized. Calling it just ''Kirby'' when featured on Main Page seems bad to me. I also suppose everything goes in italics if we're treating tentative names as a whole. —[[User:Viperision|Viperision]] ([[User talk:Viperision|talk]]) 01:06, 14 November 2020 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Bump for this discussion, and I also think ''Kirby for Nintendo GameCube'' works better and looks like it was the only "official" name it got. I wonder if there are other places that referred to it as such or maybe something else, however, but for now this name seems to be the best bet. {{User:Gigi/sig}} 13:38, 19 November 2020 (UTC)<br />
::Support. It's an official name from the official website and even if the current one is official too, the new one is better than using qualifiers. Should probably resolve this quickly since it's an FA. {{User:Pinkyoshifan/sig}} 15:47, 24 November 2020 (UTC)<br />
:::'''Neutral'''. I think both names are equally valid, and I don't have preference over one another. {{User:Superbound/sig}} 13:16, 27 November 2020 (UTC)<br />
::::I agree with Superbound. However, I prefer ''Kirby for Nintendo GameCube'' over the current title. -- {{User:MetaDragon/sig}} 17:56, 27 November 2020 (UTC)<br />
:::::Should we go ahead and make the move then? {{User:Pinkyoshifan/sig}} 16:57, 2 December 2020 (UTC)<br />
::::::Nah, I don't think solid consensus have been established yet, I would wait for more people opinions. {{User:Superbound/sig}} 11:36, 3 December 2020 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:I checked some more, and KRR is now back online - it gives a nice [http://kirbysrainbowresort.net/games/legend/ timeline summary here]. Nintendo Power gave us the " [https://archive.org/details/NintendoPowerVol195September2005/page/n23/mode/2up Kirby*] " in forecasts and mentions "[https://archive.org/details/NintendoPowerVol193July2005/page/n17/mode/2up details about its Kirby GCN adventure]" in certain issues. Later down the line, KRR's tells us the tentative name transitioned to "Kirby Wii". Given at the wiki we're supposed to be operating with game names as a whole (and avoid e.g. ''Super Star'', ''Dream Land'', ''Squeak Squad''), the original/official site is considered a better source(?) than magazines and third-parties - I think it should be preferred to current '''''Kirby''''' and inconvenient parentheses added by us. —[[User:Viperision|Viperision]] ([[User talk:Viperision|talk]]) 16:23, 19 December 2020 (UTC)<br />
::Looking at the Nintendo Power source you list, it explicitly refers to the project as "Kirby GCN". Without any other sources, that might end up being the proper name to use for this article instead of "Kirby for Nintendo GameCube". --[[User:Samwell|Samwell]] ([[User talk:Samwell|talk]]) 05:52, 20 December 2020 (UTC)<br />
:::I agree, should also mention something along the lines "(also referred to as '''''Kirby for Nintendo GameCube''''')" and fill the External links section with appropriate links. <br>—[[User:Viperision|Viperision]] ([[User talk:Viperision|talk]]) 15:31, 20 December 2020 (UTC)<br />
::::Changing my vote to support for either ''Kirby GCN'' or ''Kirby for Nintendo GameCube'' per Nintendo Power sources. {{User:Superbound/sig}} 09:22, 30 December 2020 (UTC)<br />
I'm good with either name; "Kirby for Nintendo GameCube" is more official due to coming from a Japanese source, but "Kirby GCN" is more succinct and comes from a reputable English source (not direct, but the closest to it). "Kirby GCN" would probably be easier to type out, anyway, so I lean toward that. You could argue that "its Kirby GCN adventure" in the source is in a more general sense (i.e. "its Kirby adventure for GCN"), though, so I see the merit of "Kirby for Nintendo GameCube" as well. [[User:StrawberryChan|StrawberryChan]] ([[User talk:StrawberryChan|talk]]) 01:23, 31 December 2020 (UTC)<br />
:So it looks like the current options are:<br />
:#Keep as is<br />
:#Move to '''''Kirby for Nintendo GameCube'''''<br />
:#Move to '''''Kirby GCN'''''<br />
:I oppose keeping as is due to parentheses, but have no preference between the other two options. {{User:Pinkyoshifan/sig}} 17:13, 7 January 2021 (UTC)<br />
::Move to '''Kirby for Nintendo GameCube'''. It sounds better than "Kirby GCN" and is supported by official Japanese website (which is only a step better than third-party Nintendo Power, but still a step). {{wk|Naming policy}} states, that in case of multiple names among booklets, websites etc., the most commonly one should be used. (''"If there are multiple names used among these sources, those that are most distinctive and commonly used take priority."''). I'm still quite new to the Kirby fandom, but from my personal experiences I think that's the one most commonly used. {{User:Superbound/sig}} 15:20, 28 January 2021 (UTC)<br />
:::After some thought, I think my current preference is '''Kirby for Nintendo GameCube''' as well. The Nintendo Power reference is a bit more unclear compared to the Japanese website. [[User:StrawberryChan|StrawberryChan]] ([[User talk:StrawberryChan|talk]]) 20:46, 28 January 2021 (UTC)<br />
::I'm fine with either the parentheses or "for Nintendo GameCube", but I oppose "Kirby GCN", as it sounds unprofessional. We could have it as a redirect though. [[User:pandakekok9|pandakekok9]] ([[User talk:pandakekok9|poyo]]) 03:11, 29 January 2021 (UTC)<br />
:::I was originally against this move because I thought this was our naming pattern for similar games we made pages on before their formal title was announced. But you have brought up points that show that to not be the case...and as it stands the first sentence of this article sounds pretty stupid anyway. I'd support a move to '''''Kirby for Nintendo GameCube''''', but I oppose Kirby GCN since that does sound a little unprofessional. -{{User:YoshiFlutterJump/sig}} 06:10, 29 January 2021 (UTC)<br />
:::If it stays '''Kirby (Nintendo GameCube)''', its repeated usage should be someway standardized. I didn't have luck finding its name in Japanese magazines, and the original Japanese website specifically denotes its a tentative name. Kirbytraum fansite (External links) linked us two Nintendo AU pages in English with identical text ([http://web.archive.org/web/20050622043548/http://www.nintendo.com.au/nintendo/games/gameoverview.php?gameid=892 1], [http://web.archive.org/web/20071226221907/games.nintendo.com.au/title.php?id=892 2]) named "'''Kirby'''" which - I'll assume - is given they didn't receive a tentative or official name just like NP forecast. As long as the decided name can be consistently used all over the wiki without confusion, I'm for either but prefer the original proposal. —[[User:Viperision|Viperision]] ([[User talk:Viperision|talk]]) 06:55, 29 January 2021 (UTC)<br />
::::My original preference still stands. I do think we should move it to '''''Kirby for Nintendo GameCube''''' since '''''Kirby GCN''''' does sound unprofessional. -- {{User:MetaDragon/sig}} 07:00, 29 January 2021 (UTC)<br />
Bump. -- {{User:MetaDragon/sig}} 08:14, 4 February 2021 (UTC)<br />
:Looks like we're all in agreement on this talk page and the Discord server to move this article to '''''Kirby for Nintendo GameCube''''', so I'm going to go ahead and move it. -- {{User:MetaDragon/sig}} 08:12, 5 February 2021 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Split the three games in separate pages, or more explicitly in the same page ==<br />
<br />
This first came to my mind when Vipz [[User talk:Zolerian Yuviaflero#"KRtDL Beta" images|pointed something to me on my talk page]], so I'd recommend checking that. This page collectively covers 3 projects which all preceded ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land|Return to Dream Land]]'', with that game essentially being the fourth of those games, which ended up being released instead of getting lost. That way in which the games are being covered doesn't really makes sense to me; in the [https://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/wii/kirby-dream-land/0/0/ Iwata Asks] it was said that there were "three lost ''Kirby'' games", and just the first one of them was shown at that E3, while in a [https://www.ndw.jp/kirby_04/ Nintendo Dream interview], based on [https://gigi9714.wordpress.com/2021/06/03/kirby-star-allies-vol-1-interview-direct-from-yamanashi-part-1-from-the-may-2018-issue/ Gigi's translation], Kumazaki says that there were "three ''Kirby'' projects" in that 11 years spam. Thus, those three games were three separate projects, not the same project.<br />
<br />
These games aren't covered in ''Return to Dream Land''{{'}}s page because that game is a fourth separate game/project that succeeded the previous three, and thus it wouldn't make sense covering four different games in one page. But then why are these three merged here? This also may be misleading because all three are covered under "''Kirby for Nintendo GameCube''", even though that title has only ever been referred to the first one, the one shown at E3, plus that the majority of the page is focusing on that one while mentioning the later two as a secondary thing, instead of treating all three equally. We don't know if the other two ones were for the GameCube, and the third one even seemed to be for the Wii. The only reason that I could see for the later two to be merged with the first one is that the later two have just a little amount of info. The first one has a tentative name, a clean trailer, some other non-clean trailers, a bunch of screenshots, and even a page dedicated to concept art of it in ''[[20th Anniversary Kirby Pupupu Encyclopedia]]'', while the later two only have one screenshot each and are barely mentioned in one interview, and kinda acknowledged to exist in another one ([https://gigi9714.wordpress.com/2022/07/31/translation-of-the-kirby-and-the-forgotten-land-interview-from-the-june-2022-edition-of-nintendo-dream/ this interview] also barely mentions the second one). But still, even if they have almost no information of them, there is enough to draw a line and be clear that they are two different games between themselves, and between the only one that has been called ''Kirby for Nintendo GameCube''.<br />
<br />
If not, another way in which I could see these games being covered is if all of them are in the same page, but instead with the page being called "Three lost ''Kirby'' games", with each one of them being covered under a Level 2 header, and with the first lost ''Kirby'' game being noted as being the only one called "''Kirby for Nintendo GameCube''". That would be a better way to cover them than how they are being covered right now. If I were to choose between having them in separate pages or with them being in the same one like that, I would prefer having them split in separate pages, because they were three different games at the end. Plus, if these games are covered separately from ''Return to Dream Land'', and if [[Kirby's Air Ride (Nintendo 64)|''Kirby's Air Ride'' (Nintendo 64)]] is being covered separately from ''[[Kirby Ball 64]]'', then why not cover these three separately too? {{User:Kirbeat/sig}} 15:50, 17 September 2022 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Honestly, while I do understand where you're coming from, I heavily disagree with splitting this page.<br />
<br />
:So first let me clear up something you mentioned from a translation I made. First the correct original link for that part is [https://www.ndw.jp/kirby_01/ this one] (you linked the fourth part). The original quote from Kumazaki reads "そのとき世に出なかった『カービィ』の企画が3本あったのですが、そのひとつ目の企画に、難航したヘルパーシステムを使って遊ぶゲームがあったんです。" The word that matters here is 企画, and it means "plan", "project" etc. I wouldn't really focus much on semantics here with the word Kumazaki used, mostly when in the [https://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/wii/kirby-dream-land/0/0/ Iwata Asks interview] they call them more "three games" than "three projects".<br />
<br />
:Anyway, I feel splitting up this page would be similar to splitting [[Lololo & Lalala]] just because once Lololo was a midboss. While, yes, there were three games, most of the info we have is from the first, and key thing here, the other two games were never officially revealed during their development. This means that not only do the other two games barely have any info about them (which means that we don't have enough content to justify pages for them anyway), it also means that everyone from outside of HAL saw those 11 years before RtDL was revealed and released as pretty much one thing. My point is, these three games are strongly connected to each other, more than any other unreleased Kirby games, because we were left in the dark of what was going on at HAL at the time, and later they only gave us a tl;dr, and to this day the line is very blurry between them. There are many, many content from these three games that we know came from them, but we don't know which project they come from. Things like assets, music, and even enemy designs, people theorize and infer from game data that they came from "Kirby GCN", but we don't know which one the three projects most of the time. Thus, splitting up the page into the three games, when we don't even know many times which thing came from which game other than like one screenshot each for the second and third, would have us rely on speculation for many things of the "legacy" section, plus more, which I'm not comfortable with. As an example, we are almost sure that "The Adventure Begins" from RtDL was originally from one of the three lost games (see [https://twitter.com/kirbymusicfacts/status/1496243401829801996 this tweet] for more info), but we have no clue of knowing for which game for sure. Moreover, while we know that "Road to Victory" was from the first game, as it was in the trailer, and we know [[Sky Tower]] was composed around the same time thanks [https://gigi9714.wordpress.com/2021/08/30/translation-of-the-kirby-wii-music-selection-card-with-comments-from-kirbys-return-to-dream-land-staff/ to this comment from the sound staff], but in the files Sky Tower has two versions; were they all for the first game? And if not, does this mean the leitmotif carried to other projects? Well, we know that at least they carried to RtDL... Which further shows my point that, at core, these three games plus even RtDL were one single "project". But out of these four games, only one was completed and released. (And to add to that, I went to check the booklet of ''Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition'', and they said RtDL was "a title we've been working on for the past 11 years", which again further shows my point).<br />
<br />
:So I'm against splitting. What about the name and content of the page then? Well, I feel both are fine as is as well. First, "the three lost Kirby games" is really just the name of a section of the Iwata asks interview. I've never seen it used before any other time these games were mentioned, so I'm not confident with considering it an official name for a page (and actually I don't like how the wiki page right now also considers it official, I may remove that). People in the fandom also call these three games "Kirby GCN" all the time, and it's easily understandable, even though the third game appears to have been for the Wii (although it could have started in the GCN... again, we don't know for sure). Finally, the content. Again, the first one has the most content out of the three, so I feel it would be weird if the other two, that we barely know about, got equal treatment to the other in the page. We would have like 80% of the page be a section about one game, then 10% and 10% for another of the same size... Doesn't feel right to me.<br />
<br />
:So yeah, I feel this page is fine, and I am strongly opposed to splitting up the page. {{User:Gigi/sig}} 12:36, 20 September 2022 (UTC)<br />
::I agree with Gigi on the other two not having enough info to justify their own pages. As for the differentiating within the same page part, while I can see Gigi's point on how the section sizes might look a bit unusual, I wouldn't be opposed to it (so neutral on the split within the same page). {{User:Pinkyoshifan/sig}} 15:30, 20 September 2022 (UTC)</div>Trig Jegmanhttps://wikirby.com/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Basic_Person&diff=402638User talk:Basic Person2023-02-19T23:39:23Z<p>Trig Jegman: </p>

== Regarding file uploading ==<br />
Greetings, BasicPerson. You are new here, so I figure I should direct you to information about proper file uploading on WiKirby, since the file you uploaded did not meet current quality standards. First you'll want to check the [[Help:Formatting file pages|formatting file pages]] help page (in particular, learning how to use the aboutfile template and adding sources). Second, you'll want to check the [[WiKirby:Image standards|image standards]] page to learn what we're looking for in terms of image quality. Please let me or another staff member know if you have any questions. It may be helpful for you to join the Discord server so you can talk with us more directly. Cheers. --[[User:Samwell|Samwell]] ([[User talk:Samwell|talk]]) 23:39, 7 March 2022 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Hi, I did look at these help pages after you deleted my file. I probably should have looked into the guidelines before I tried uploading. This was a mistake on my part. I decided to try to re-upload my file after looking at those guidelines. However, when I tried uploading the only thing I got was an error message and I have been unable to upload files since then (I even tried a different computer). Do you know a way to fix this or should I ask tech support? Thanks for the help! Sincerely, --[[User:BasicPerson|BasicPerson]] ([[User talk:Basic Person|talk]]) 23:51, 8 March 2022 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::Hmm, it might help if you described what the error looked like. If you got on Discord, you'd be able to share a screenshot of the error message, and that'll give us a better idea of what you are running into. Also, just so you know, you can quickly sign your talk page posts with name, date, and time by typing four tildes '''<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>''' after your post. --[[User:Samwell|Samwell]] ([[User talk:Samwell|talk]]) 01:20, 8 March 2022 (UTC)<br />

<br />
== Image quality ==<br />
So, I've seen your most recent upload: [[:File:KSqS SmashRide Title.png|File:Smash Ride Top Screen.png]]. It looks okay, but the image size is quite large, certainly not native resolution. The native resolution for ''Kirby: Squeak Squad'' would be a 1 to 1 pixel ratio of 256 by 192 pixels. Do you think you would be able to recapture at that resolution? --[[User:Samwell|Samwell]] ([[User talk:Samwell|talk]]) 23:26, 8 March 2022 (UTC)<br />
:I see you've made the change. It looks a lot better now! You seem to have the ability to capture natively for ''Kirby: Squeak Squad'', which is sorely needed around here. I have a job for you, if you are willing. --[[User:Samwell|Samwell]] ([[User talk:Samwell|talk]]) 23:38, 8 March 2022 (UTC)<br />
::Thank you for the help! What is the job? --[[User:BasicPerson|BasicPerson]] ([[User talk:Basic Person|talk]]) 23:41, 8 March 2022 (UTC)<br />
:::So right now, I have a proposal that was intended to excuse our ''Kirby: Squeak Squad'' stage page images for being jpg. However, if you were to go through the game and replace those with png recaptures, that would permanently solve the problem and make everyone happy. It would be a lot to replace, but if you are up to the task, it would be a good way to quickly earn an Autopatrol badge from a grateful Bureaucrat. :P You can find the images by taking a look at each stage page starting with [[Prism Plains - Stage 1]], or by going into [[:Category:Kirby: Squeak Squad images|this category]]. Does that sound like something you'd be up to do with the understanding that it might take a little while? --[[User:Samwell|Samwell]] ([[User talk:Samwell|talk]]) 23:46, 8 March 2022 (UTC)<br />
:::I guess I should clarify though, all the Prism Plains screenshots are already PNG and ideal quality. You'd actually be starting from [[Nature Notch]]. --[[User:Samwell|Samwell]] ([[User talk:Samwell|talk]]) 23:48, 8 March 2022 (UTC)<br />
::::Yes I could do that, just to clarify though, are you talking about just the stage images? --[[User:BasicPerson|BasicPerson]] ([[User talk:Basic Person|talk]]) 23:51, 8 March 2022 (UTC)<br />
:::::That's the main thing, though there might be some others. I can let you know about any of those when you are done, or you can check for yourself by looking at [[:Category:Low quality images]]. It's also worth mentioning that some of the images that need replacing are technially PNG already, but they were converted from JPG rather than recaptured, so they need to be replaced too. --[[User:Samwell|Samwell]] ([[User talk:Samwell|talk]]) 23:53, 8 March 2022 (UTC)<br />
:::::: I will get that started soon, I might not make much progress until my Spring Break rolls around though. I will try my best! --[[User:BasicPerson|BasicPerson]] ([[User talk:Basic Person|talk]]) 23:56, 8 March 2022 (UTC)<br />
::::::: No worries. I look forward to those first images, whenever those may be. Let me know on my talk page if you have any questions along the way. --[[User:Samwell|Samwell]] ([[User talk:Samwell|talk]]) 23:57, 8 March 2022 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Few more pointers on KSqS images ==<br />
Howdy. Good work on getting new stage images for Nature Notch. You're making good progress so far. I'd like to point out a few things though before you continue:<br />
*When you upload more screenshots, you don't need to fill out the media parameter. Instead, all you need to do is put the full name of the game (in this case: Kirby: Squeak Squad) in the "game" parameter.<br />
*Make sure you are checking the screenshots in the "Treasures" section of the page as well. Some of the ones for Nature Notch are already good, but others need replacing as well. You'll want to grab shots of those areas as well so you don't have to backtrack later. The remaining level and stage pages will also have treasure screenshots that need replacing.<br />
*Before you mark an old file for deletion, ideally you should have a look at where that file links to in the wiki (this can be seen at the bottom of the file page). Head to those pages, find the old file link, and replace it with the new file.<br />
Let me know if any of this doesn't make sense. You're doing good so far. --[[User:Samwell|Samwell]] ([[User talk:Samwell|talk]]) 15:10, 9 March 2022 (UTC)<br />

:Greetings. Let me answer your questions as succinctly as I can:<br />
:#Technically speaking, the Dedede Directory posts do not have their own special copyright template, as their button adds the Artwork template, and is just here as a special mention. We could do the same thing for Channel PPP posts, but I would ask YFJ about that, since he looked over that particular reform.<br />
:#Generally speaking, we do not use different language redirects on WiKirby. Special exceptions are made only when the different-language name is commonly used in the English fanbase.<br />
:#Just a traditional carry-over from the old days of the site. That, and the yellow stands out.<br />
:#I was not under the impression that King Dedede was meant to come next. I assumed I could place any featured article up next in the queue. If this is not true, please show me where the extended queue is.<br />

== Regarding Samus ==<br />
<br />
Hello Samwell, if you haven't seen [[Special:PermaLink/180529|my edit summary]], the reason I added Samus link was that other characters (specifically [[Donbe & Hikari]] and [[Chao]]), which had similar role in ''Kirby's Dream Land 3'' already have pages. Unless you think that these pages are also not notable, I see no reason not to keep that link. {{User:Superbound/sig}} 09:37, 28 December 2020 (UTC)<br />
:To me, it's more a matter of whether or not the subject matter is the domain of a more suitable wiki in NIWA. Donbe & Hikari and Chao don't really have much of a place on other NIWA wikis (aside from perhaps N Wiki but I'm pretty sure they are not there). For that reason, it makes more sense to me to link to MetroidWiki's article on Samus than to try and make one ourselves. --[[User:Samwell|Samwell]] ([[User talk:Samwell|talk]]) 15:37, 28 December 2020 (UTC)<br />
:That said, I should also preface that there are still some lingering traditions from the older days of the wiki that muddy things a little. For instance, we have a fair amount of content that specifically pertains to the ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' games, mainly since back when WiKirby was founded, there was a much stronger correlation between the ''Smash'' games and the ''Kirby'' games than there is today. There were also a few half-hearted attempts to make pages for Mario, Luigi, and others that I deleted due to them being extremely short stubs. I suppose ultimately the point I want to get across is this. We are primarily a ''Kirby'' wiki, but if you really want to make a page about another series character or subject that has some distant connection, through a cameo or other relation, then you should put in the effort to make the article and make it worth reading before you start adding links to it here. Also, be sure to have a look at [[WiKirby:Non-Kirby content|this policy page]] for details on how to cover it. --[[User:Samwell|Samwell]] ([[User talk:Samwell|talk]]) 15:45, 28 December 2020 (UTC)<br />
::I see, I get your point here. To make sure that I understanded you correctly - is it okay if I start a draft for these characters pages in my sandbox? And for now, would it be also okay if I create (temporary) redirects to '''Cameo characters#Kirby's Dream Land 3'''? {{User:Superbound/sig}} 12:56, 29 December 2020 (UTC)<br />
:::In the specific case of Samus, I'm not sure it would make tons of sense to redirect users to the cameo list for Kirby's Dream Land 3 in the context that part of the article was using. However, feel free to start drafting articles in your sandbox. --[[User:Samwell|Samwell]] ([[User talk:Samwell|talk]]) 13:10, 29 December 2020 (UTC)<br />

== Reverting Edits ==<br />
<br />
Hello Sam.<br />
<br />
I noticed that [https://wikirby.com/w/index.php?title=Magolor&diff=248889&oldid=248875 two] [https://wikirby.com/w/index.php?title=Kirby%27s_Blowout_Blast&diff=prev&oldid=248890 reverts] done by you were full reverts. These include undoing everything the user did in the previous revision(s). This is useful in stopping vandalism and to fix mistakes that users have put in, however, pure reverting, like you did in both revisions, can actually add in mistakes that the user could've actually removed or fixed, suck as the grammar mistake in the latter. I didn't know there was a no-life system in ''Kirby's Blowout Blast'', but I think the wording I put in was otherwise better. Regardless, the next time you revert an edit, look at the change and think, ''should I just undo it or should I rewrite it back to avoid adding back the mistake?''<br />
<br />
BTW it's your birthday in 11 days? I will wish you a happy birthday then.<br />
<br />
[[User:Altendo|Al]][[User talk:Altendo|ten]][[Special:Contributions/Altendo|do]] 07:49, 9 August 2021 (UTC)<br />
:Greetings, Altendo.<br />
<br />
:I apologize in advance if you feel that the reverts done to your edits had overreached a bit. Please be assured that it was not my intention to fully revert every change you'd made, and that I don't usually make that mistake. However, I would have liked much better if you'd come to me sooner about this, and with a less patronizing tone. The reverts in questions, after all, happened on the 22nd of July (over 2 weeks ago), and only in the case of the Magolor page was a minor formatting mistake added back in in the process; one that, as I'm sure you know, was easily removed again. In the case of Kirby's Blowout Blast, I stand by my original statement that the original wording was better, and that revert was fully intentional.<br />
<br />
:One of the most important tenets of wiki editing, and collaborative projects in general, is to assume good faith until it's obvious there is none. I'd like you to keep this in mind going forward, because it really does feel like this message you've sent me is an attack, rather than an honest concern (especially given how long you sat on the issue, and how minor the actual reverts were). I'm not out to get you, even if I revert your edits, or offer you criticism on your talk page. We're all in this together to make WiKirby the best it can be.<br />
<br />
:Cheers. --[[User:Samwell|Samwell]] ([[User talk:Samwell|talk]]) 13:41, 9 August 2021 (UTC)<br />

==Problem With Uploading Files==<br />
Hi,<br />
I have started uploading the [[Kirby Squeak Squad]] [[Nature Notch]] PNG images. Recently, I have tried to upload the [[Nature Notch - Stage 5|stage 5]], [[Mrs. Moley|boss]], map, and [[Nature Notch - Stage EX|secret stage]] but I keep getting the same error message from them: "File extension ".jpg" does not match the detected MIME type of the file (image/png)." I have done the exact same method to produce PNG images for the other stages, but for some reason these ones do not work. I checked the file types of the images and all of them are PNGs. Do you possibly know what this is? --[[User:BasicPerson|BasicPerson]] ([[User talk:Basic Person|talk]]) 14:40, 9 March 2022 (UTC)<br />
:So, what's going on is that you are trying to replace a JPG image with a PNG image, which the wiki does not like. What you will need to do in this case is upload your new file on its own and then mark the old one for deletion after you've replaced the links on the pages themselves. You can do this by typing <nowiki>{{delete|replaced}}</nowiki> on top of the file page summary. --[[User:Samwell|Samwell]] ([[User talk:Samwell|talk]]) 14:41, 9 March 2022 (UTC)<br />

== An issue with a FP nomination I made ==<br />
<br />
Hi, Sam. I've made [[WiKirby:Featured Picture Nomination/Occasional#Easter|an occasional picture nomination]] but it seems to have flown under the radar. There's also an issue [[User:MetaDragon]] brought up, and that is that it's not marked as Good, which is something that I forgot is a requirement. That considered, I thought what restricts me from marking it Good right away, because I see no issues with the image. At the standard featured picture thumb-size of 300px it looks high-quality enough to feature it. In comparison, [[:File:E27 Scene 27.png|this one]] was and ended up being featured. Admitedly, you abstained and I voted for it, and it's lower in quality than the one I'm trying to feature for Easter. So if you don't object, I'd like to mark it as good and invite you to vote on it regardless of decision. {{User:Vipz/sig}} 10:41, 14 April 2022 (UTC)<br />
:I hadn't marked it as Good because it was not the proper resolution. I've gone ahead and uploaded a new version that fits the guidelines, so now it should be good for featuring. --[[User:Samwell|Samwell]] ([[User talk:Samwell|talk]]) 18:55, 14 April 2022 (UTC)<br />

== Hiding an IP ==<br />
<br />
Hello, I'm not sure the best place to ask this nor who would be best to ask, but I wanted to know if it would be possible to hide an IP on an edit that I made recently. I was making an edit and left it for the next day, which resulted in me being logged out for being inactive for so long and causing the edit to go through as an IP. Under normal circumstances I'd just brush it off and not care, but since the edit contains a link that points to another account of mine I'd prefer if people couldn't see the IP and associate it with me. [[User:CanvasK|CanvasK]] ([[User talk:CanvasK|talk]]) 23:53, 4 August 2022 (UTC)<br />
:I could manually hide the edit in question, though that will probably require me to resubmit the edit myself. Which edit is this? --[[User:Samwell|Samwell]] ([[User talk:Samwell|talk]]) 00:35, 5 August 2022 (UTC)<br />
::I thought hiding the IP on that specific edit would be possible, I think I've seen it happen on ssbwiki before (namely for vulgar/personal attack names).

:::::Aye, glad to be of help. I will also mention that, since you've had your account for a while, you really only need to make one more edit before you don't need to go through moderation anymore.

== Why my edits have been this way ==<br />
<br />
On the [[Kirby's Dream Buffet]] page, it said "A physical version released in South Korea on September 15th, 2022, but like with Kirby Fighters 2, it is not a cartridge but simply a download code inside a box." and i thought that it's inaccurate to say a physical edition exists if it's not a cartridge.<br />
<br />
Other edits I figured the info isn't notable enough (such as the first game to have blue and green Kirby as selectable colors) and for the [[Color]]s page in the Kirby 64 section, I thought there's no need to say "This can also be done for the other playable characters in the group" when you cxould just completely reword it.<br />
<br />
Also, would it be ok to have images in your signature?<br />
<br />
[[User:Yoshi&#39;s Island|Yoshi&#39;s Island]] ([[User talk:Yoshi&#39;s Island|talk]]) 19:00, 29 September 2022 (UTC)<br />
:I'm not Samwell, but I can answer for him. For the first part, it's not inaccurate to call that a physical version since it still comes in a physical box; that's why it's phrased that way. For the second part, I personally agree that the new wording is better. For your last question, you can include images in your signature as long as they're small and unintrusive. 20 pixels tall should be your maximum.

== Another question from MarioKirbyGamer ==<br />
For the wiki on [[cart]] , wouldn't [[Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards]] be part of it, because in some levels kirby rides a cart, and needs to jump over obstacles, just curious about if there was a reason for that.

Information about the mine cart rides in ''[[Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards]]'' can be found in the appropriate stage pages. In future, it might be better to ask questions about specific articles in their talk pages, rather than coming to my page specifically.

Perhaps you could try using a different one, like a home computer? --[[User:Samwell|Samwell]] ([[User talk:Samwell|talk]]) 13:28, 30 January 2023 (UTC)<br />

== How do I change my signature to have different fonts or colors ==<br />
can an admin help me with this please?{{unsigned|Supergamer286}}<br />
:I can give you some pointers, but I feel compelled to remind you that you need to sign your talk page posts. Otherwise, how would anyone even see your signature? So, what you'd want to do in this case is make a subpage for your user page (in this case, "User:Supergamer286/sig"). Then, I would suggest copy/pasting the code from someone else's signature and modifying it to make yours. Just remember not to accidentally change the signature of the person you are copying from. If you need more help, let me know here. --[[User:Samwell|Samwell]] ([[User talk:Samwell|talk]]) 18:06, 5 February 2023 (UTC)<br />
::samwell, so how do i make a subpage? can u help? [[User:Supergamer286|supergamer286]] ([[User talk:Supergamer286|talk]]) 18:34, 5 February 2023 (UTC)<br />
:::Same way you made your userpage. Just create the page "User:Supergamer286/sig", and you should be good to get started. --[[User:Samwell|Samwell]] ([[User talk:Samwell|talk]]) 18:36, 5 February 2023 (UTC)<br />
::::and one more thing, do i make the subpage by pressing the + button when im on my userpage's discussion page? because the + button is not available on my main page. [[User:Supergamer286|supergamer286]] ([[User talk:Supergamer286|talk]]) 23:05, 5 February 2023 (UTC)Supergamer286<br />
:::::No, that just starts a new section on your userpage. I should ask before we continue, though, because this is important. When is your birthday, and how old are you right now? --[[User:Samwell|Samwell]] ([[User talk:Samwell|talk]]) 23:06, 5 February 2023 (UTC)<br />
sorry but im not comfortable with sharing my age. my birthday is 2/27 tho.[[User:Supergamer286|supergamer286]] ([[User talk:Supergamer286|talk]]) 23:19, 5 February 2023 (UTC)Supergamer286<br />
:::::::I promise you this is not an attempt to identify your personal information. However, WiKirby requires that users give out their age when asked. I'm not asking for your name, address, or anything like that. If you can't give out your age, then I will need to remove you from the wiki. It's the rules. --[[User:Samwell|Samwell]] ([[User talk:Samwell|talk]]) 23:21, 5 February 2023 (UTC)<br />
soon to be ##. [[User:Supergamer286|supergamer286]] ([[User talk:Supergamer286|talk]]) 23:29, 5 February 2023 (UTC)Supergamer286<br />
:Alright. Thank you for being honest with me. You probably didn't see that WiKirby doesn't allow users under 13 to have an account on WiKirby. That means I do unfortunately need to block your account until you are old enough to use it. I will keep your userpage as it is until your 13th birthday, when you will be allowed back. See you then, and sorry for the trouble. --[[User:Samwell|Samwell]] ([[User talk:Samwell|talk]]) 23:31, 5 February 2023 (UTC)<br />
::To be clear, we have to ask for your age because of laws in the United States that mean we can't collect info from users under 13. The wiki collects info about your device and your account, so you need to be 13 or older to use it. You didn't do anything wrong, though — we're just following the law.

== Admin talk ==<br />
I have been wanting to become an Admin on WiKirby, and I'm trying to help out the best I can. Are there any specific things that I have to do before you consider me becoming an admin? [[User:IsaacBoi321|IsaacBoi321]] ([[User talk:IsaacBoi321|talk]]) 01:48, 18 February 2023 (UTC)<br />
:Well, I find your upfrontness to be a little unusual, but I suppose I can answer as succinctly as I can:<br />
:Admins on WiKirby tend to be individuals with a long history of contributions and community engagement. Typically it takes years of climbing through the ranks slowly to gain admin status, and by then, most people in the community should know who you are and what you've done for the wiki. Our admins typically have edit counts in the thousands, are well-versed in wiki policy, and have taken part in numerous site decisions, proposals, and other votes.<br />
:You have only been here for just a little under a week, and are still very much considered a new editor. So if you were hoping to become an admin any time soon, I'm afraid I have to disappoint you. However, stick around, make good edits, learn the ropes, and get involved with the community, and eventually you might just end up there. Let me just be clear with you, however, that if your main aim is to become an admin, rather than helping the wiki or its community, than you should reconsider your motivations. We don't take kindly to people just looking to gain fame or influence.<br />
:One more thing. Always remember to sign your talk page posts with your username. (use four tildes: <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>). Do the same whenever you vote on anything. See you around the wiki. Let me know if you have any more questions. Cheers. --[[User:Samwell|Samwell]] ([[User talk:Samwell|talk]]) 01:35, 18 February 2023 (UTC)<br />
::Ok, thanks for the info. My main goal on WiKirby is to make this a better place, where people can come here and find reliable sources on all things Kirby. The games I know most info on is The NS kirby games, (KSA, KDB, KF2, SKC, and KatFL) So I try to put more info on that. I do have another question though, and that is about uploading. If you remember, before I tried to put an image of plasma kirby on the wiki, But I wasn't autoconfirmed. But now I'm autoconfirmed, and I tried to Upload the image. But it was a jpeg, so I used a jpeg to jpg website, and uploaded it, but it still said it was a jpeg! I really want to focus on adding images from the more recent games, as the image on Plasma is from KSSU. If you guys could make it so that jpegs can be uploaded, that would be helpful. Otherwise, I won't be able to upload the images that I need. --[[User:IsaacBoi321|IsaacBoi321]] ([[User talk:IsaacBoi321|talk]]) 01:48, 18 February 2023 (UTC)<br />
:::So, in this case, the converter you used probably didn't actually change the file, just its extension name. When you do that, a mismatch happens between the extension and how it's defined internally, and the wiki goes by how it's defined internally. What you want to do instead is open your image in an image editing program like Paint, Photoshop, or Paint.NET and resave it as a jpg file. As for the file itself, please be aware of any relevant [[WiKirby:Image standards|image standards]] for it, or if the file in question already exists somewhere on the wiki. If this is a piece of artwork, you'll want to make sure it has a valid source. Any unsourced or improperly sourced image will be removed. Please note that the Kirby Wiki on Fandom is not a proper source. Let me know if you have any other issues. --[[User:Samwell|Samwell]] ([[User talk:Samwell|talk]]) 01:55, 18 February 2023 (UTC)<br />
::::The file you deleted, I actually didn't crop anything. I just searched up "Plasma Kirby" on google, selected the KSA image, and used an image editor to convert to jpg! --[[User:IsaacBoi321|IsaacBoi321]] ([[User talk:IsaacBoi321|talk]]) 02:30, 18 February 2023 (UTC)<br />
:::::I see, well, that's a bit of an issue on its own. See, on WiKirby, we need to be sure of where exactly an image comes from, and Google search doesn't exactly tell you that info. The way you specified on the file page suggested that you took the screenshot yourself, which would have been a false attribution if you just got it from Google. Any rate, either way, the artwork did not match the game's native resolution, so it wouldn't have been suitable regardless. I am right now working on capturing a new version that does meet the standards. You'll see it appear on the wiki in just a bit. Please take this as a learning experience. --[[User:Samwell|Samwell]] ([[User talk:Samwell|talk]]) 02:34, 18 February 2023 (UTC)<br />
:I understand. So whenever I upload an image, I specify where it comes from. I will try my best to do this and I will work on making this wiki a better place! :) --[[User:IsaacBoi321|IsaacBoi321]] ([[User talk:IsaacBoi321|talk]]) 16:13, 18 February 2023 (UTC)<br />
::Aye. Also, if it's a screenshot of a game, be wary of the resolution the image was taken at. Full screenshots from Switch games should always be 720p or 1080p. You'll often find that screenshots posted to Twitter or other sites by fans tend to be lower than this. --[[User:Samwell|Samwell]] ([[User talk:Samwell|talk]]) 16:16, 18 February 2023 (UTC)</div>Trig Jegmanhttps://wikirby.com/w/index.php?title=WiKirby:Project_Clean-Up&diff=402149WiKirby:Project Clean-Up2023-02-18T07:29:16Z<p>Trig Jegman: & I'll be using this again here shortly</p>

==Finding sources for files==<br />
{{main|WiKirby:Project Clean-Up/Unsourced image archive}}<br />
WiKirby strives to ensure that all images it uses are sourced appropriately. No images being used in mainspace articles are believed to be unsourced or improperly sourced. However, there are a few old stowaways which have been preserved in the archives which need sourcing in order to be allowed back into mainspace. If you would be so intrepid as to find sources for them, you would be considered a WiKirby Hero! You may find this sorry lot of images [[WiKirby:Project Clean-Up/Unsourced image archive|by clicking here]].<br />
<br />
==Sprite-based screenshots as jpg==<br />
All screenshots of ''sprite-based'' games should be lossless (png and not jpg) to comply with [[WiKirby:Image standards]]. Remember to '''recapture, not just convert'''. For some of them, the names need to be changed as well. Some screenshots may need to be recaptured as png, but aren't in this section.<br />

===Wanted Images===<br />
This list should help anyone who wants to know quickly what sort of image is missing. Or, you can sort the images by game if you wish to batch-capture images from a certain game. Please note that some of these wanted images already exist on the wiki, but have not been added to the page yet. It is advised to check for a fitting image first, and use images that already exist before uploading new images. I am not putting galleries on this list since the majority of them all just need more of the proper images added to them. See [[:category:Galleries|here]] for galleries. <br />

==Solidifying character names and attributes in article writing (January 29th, 2023 - February 12th, 2023)==<br />
So, I've noticed recently that there's been some edits made to character and enemy pages in regards to gender pronouns. In particular, there was a push on the [[Kracko]] and [[Dyna Blade]] pages to refer to them by different genders based on which game was being discussed (since genders are not always consistent in in-game flavor text). I find this to be highly inappropriate for any characters that have been established as individuals (unlike, say, [[Broom Hatter]], which refers more to a class of characters rather than a single entity). This incident has brought up a larger issue with how to treat attributes of characters and other entities which span multiple games and whose names and other characteristics may differ from one to the next. I come to you now offering a new standardized way to handle this, though it needs to be done in multiple facets which can be voted on individually. I will introduce each particular point and describe the proposed change in its own subsection. Cheers. --[[User:Samwell|Samwell]] ([[User talk:Samwell|talk]]) 14:36, 29 January 2023 (UTC)<br />
<br />
===Change 1: Solidifying character gender===<br />
To summarize what was said above, I believe we need a clause in place to prevent established characters from being referred to by different genders in text based on erroneous or inconsistent in-game flavor text. As such, I'd like to add this to the writing standards:<br />
<br />
"For characters established as individuals, their gender must be consistent throughout article text and based on the most consistently-used pronouns in games ("he/she/they" generally takes priority over "it"). It is not appropriate to refer to these characters using different pronouns based on the game unless there is a specific special story or lore-based circumstance for doing so. Note that this rule does not apply across different [[canon]]s (For example, [[Kracko]] in the games VS. Kracko in the [[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!|anime]].), only within canons."<br />
<br />
{{Support}}<br />
#Kracko: "While <u>his</u> pause screen flavor from ''[[Kirby Fighters Deluxe]]'', implies that <u>he</u> fights Kirby to get a comeback for <u>his</u> previous losses, however, in ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]'', <u>it</u> appears <u>it</u> attacks Kirby because of Taranza's command." <= possible shenanigans that could occur with changing pronouns by appearance. Thus, I support to make it an official rule. {{User:Superbound/sig}} 15:37, 29 January 2023 (UTC)<br />
#I 100% agree with this. I was looking at the [[idle animation]] page and noticed that Driblee was referred to with female pronouns, while on the actual [[Driblee]] page the enemy is referred to with it as pronouns. And it doesn't help that Driblee is referred to with all types of pronouns as well. [[User:GoldenDragonLeaf|GoldenDragonLeaf]] ([[User talk:GoldenDragonLeaf|talk]]) 03:42, 30 January 2023 (UTC)<br />
#Agreed. The devs being inconsistient doesn't mean that we need to be inconsistient. {{User:Pinkyoshifan/sig}} 16:00, 30 January 2023 (UTC)<br />
#I support consistency and clarity, regardless of minor developer errors. Both the first and second parts of this proposal will prevent readers from becoming confused. {{User:Kirb/sig}} 17:52, 4 February 2023 (UTC)<br />
#At first I was worried that in some cases two or more pronouns would be used simultaneously back and forth between games, ([[Broom Hatter]] comes to mind), and so we wouldn't be able to decide which one should appropriately be used. The more I thought about it the more I realized that wouldn't happen all that often, but it still could be a concern so I will bring it up in the discussion here. Aside from that, this will definitely be good to help prevent confusion and I'm all for it. -- {{User:Jellytost♡/sig}} 22:47, 4 February 2023 (UTC)<br />
#I prefer to keep things consistent. {{User:Yoshi's Island/sig}} 11:18, 8 February 2023 (UTC)<br />
{{Oppose}}<br />

#I don't think enough guidelines are set for me to warrant voting on this. There may be cases where use is too inconsistent to officially suggest one path or another. [[User:Trig Jegman|Trig]] - 16:15, 30 January 2023 (UTC)<br />
#For what it's worth, I don't feel like this particular issue "deserves" a strict guideline. As Trig said, cases of great inconsitency, which I consider to be fairly likely, could arise. [[User:Infinite Possibilities|Infinite Possibilities]] ([[User talk:Infinite Possibilities|talk]]) 20:16, 4 February 2023 (UTC)<br />
====Change 1 discussion====<br />
''the most consistently-used pronouns in games''<br />
<br />
So just to clarify, if we were making Kracko's page in 2014, even though ''Triple Deluxe'' refers to Kracko by "it" and it's the most recent Kirby game, considering Kracko had been consistently been referred to as "he" before, we would still use "he", and if the next games started to use "it" for Kracko we would change the whole page to refer to Kracko as "it", but if it didn't, we would just keep using "he"? {{User:Gigi/sig}} 16:28, 30 January 2023 (UTC)<br />
:I think if we got to the point where so many subsequent games started using "it" consistently, then we'd have to conclude that "it" is what they intend, so yes, in that case we would change the whole article to "it". That would be an extreme outlier case, though, as far as I am concerned. --[[User:Samwell|Samwell]] ([[User talk:Samwell|talk]]) 16:31, 30 January 2023 (UTC)<br />
<br />
So for the point I brought up in my support comment (the same one Trig and Infinite are likely worried about), how would we handle having a character who switches pronouns very regularly and one doesn't seem to take priority over the other?<br>''"this rule does not apply across different canons"''<br>I figured that this meant that pronouns used in the main-series games would overall take priority (and so maybe that would resolve this issue). I would still like to ask about it though. -- {{User:Jellytost♡/sig}} 22:47, 4 February 2023 (UTC)<br />
<br />
===Change 2: Solidifying entity names===<br />
This part of the proposal has already passed. See the Successful proposals archive for details.<br />
<br />
===Change 3: Infobox representation===<br />
Admittedly, this one's not really an issue right now, but I still think it's important to have a firm decision on this point. For the main infobox of the page, the image used of a character or other entity should be the most representative/consistent image, not necessarily the most recent one. This rule has largely been followed in practice, but a formal clause should be put in place so nobody thinks to put whatever temporary makeover [[King Dedede]] gets in the next game up as his main infobox image like what was attempted when ''[[Kirby and the Forgotten Land]]'' was the upcoming game. :P<br />
<br />
{{Support}}<br />
#Not much to add here other than I completely agree. It's been an unwritten rule for a while so I fully support making it an official one. {{User:Gigi/sig}} 15:03, 29 January 2023 (UTC)<br />
#Agree as well, provided that accompanying the policy is a document with a few different example entities showing examples of representative and un-representative images for each. {{User:WillIdleAway/sig}} 15:26, 29 January 2023 (UTC)<br />
#Agreed. The infobox is meant for the character as a whole, not for the character in one game specifically. {{User:Pinkyoshifan/sig}} 16:05, 30 January 2023 (UTC)<br />
#Kind of surprised we weren't doing this already, to be honest. [[User:Trig Jegman|Trig]] - 16:15, 30 January 2023 (UTC)<br />
#As long as we the editors can come to a consensus on what is the most "representative" image of a character, I support this. Epic Yarn is a good example of why using the latest official artwork of a character is not always the best action. {{User:Kirb/sig}} 17:58, 4 February 2023 (UTC)<br />
#Not a lot for me to say here. This sounds good to me. There will be some discussions on what the "most representative image" is sometimes, but that's natural. -- {{User:Jellytost♡/sig}} 22:47, 4 February 2023 (UTC)<br />
#Not a lot for me to say here outside of consistency. {{User:Yoshi's Island/sig}} 11:18, 8 February 2023 (UTC)<br />
{{Oppose}}<br />
{{Neutral}}<br />
#Similar to change one, there may come up some things where a "most representative" image would need proper deciding between editors first. So while I'm not exactly opposed to the idea to make it a real guideline, I can't say I'm really convinced either. [[User:Infinite Possibilities|Infinite Possibilities]] ([[User talk:Infinite Possibilities|talk]]) 20:16, 4 February 2023 (UTC)<br />
====Change 3 discussion====<br />
<br />
So, at the risk of opening a can of caterpillars but just to have a point of reference ... with the example of Dedede, what ''would'' be considered the most representative/consistent image? (It's definitely ''not'' the KatFL design, true.)<br />
<br />
And for enemies that only appeared in sprite-based games, would we consider official out-of-game artwork to be more representative than the in-game sprite where appropriate, or vice versa? It seems like [[Twizzy]] (my beloved) is a good case study in that (in my eye) the official KDL artwork is clearly inconsistent but the KNiDL artwork (which is the current infobox image) is reasonably consistent with all of the in-game sprites and much higher-resolution (and thus should stay the infobox image). {{User:WillIdleAway/sig}} 15:02, 29 January 2023 (UTC)<br />
:We can probably formalize some finer details, but basically right now an image like that would be any artwork when available, from the most recent game that accurately represents the character. Sure the specifics of that is hard to put into words, but using Dedede again as an example, he is using [[:File:KRtDLD King Dedede.png]] which accurate represents him. We didn't use [[:File:KatFL King Dedede artwork.png]] when FL was his latest appearence because that's his appearance as a boss only, which for an article about Dedede as a whole would be innacurate as he's more often an ally than foe lately. Another examples of images that wouldn't fit his main infobox would be [[:File:King Dedede SSBU.png]] (as it's from Smash), [[:File:Buff King Dedede KSA artwork.png]] (again, boss form), and [[:File:K30AMF King Dedede artwork.png]] (using a design from a real world event and not a game). {{User:Gigi/sig}} 15:10, 29 January 2023 (UTC)<br />
::I actually like this way of framing it—in ambiguous situations like this, counterexamples are often the best way to suggest what is acceptable. (Tangential example: one might show an example of an acceptable photo for a passport or ID card, followed by several mildly amusing examples of clearly unacceptable photos, suggesting regions of acceptable and unacceptable images without actually having to draw the border.) To that list of Dedede counterexamples I would also add [[:File:King Dedede ball KCC artwork.png]], potentially also to argue that designs should be from mainline Kirby games as opposed to spin-off games wherever possible, and [[:File:KDB_Character_Treat_Kirby_riding_King_Dedede_artwork.png]], since it's low-res and an indirect appearance (even if the most recent one out of all the released games—this would also preclude a Keychain somehow ending up as the infobox image). {{User:WillIdleAway/sig}} 15:26, 29 January 2023 (UTC)<br />
<br />
Agreed with this, since it has long been an unwritten rule, but I have one small question, what if the design stays same, but the artstyle is different (both minor, like everything having thick outlines as it is seen in KRtDLD, but also more major, like ''[[Kirby: Canvas Curse]]'' or ''[[Kirby and the Rainbow Curse]]'')? {{User:Superbound/sig}} 15:40, 29 January 2023 (UTC)<br />
{{clear}}<br />
:IMO we should probably treat it case-by-cases, but minor artstyle changes I would say should be fine to use, drastic ones probably not, but for example I'm not sure if I consider ''Rainbow Curse'' a major one, but ''Canvas Curse'' and ''Epic Yarn'' I would. {{User:Gigi/sig}} 16:25, 30 January 2023 (UTC)<br />
<br />
==Delete spam account talk pages 020823—022223==<br />
I think we should delete the welcome template-only talk pages of obvious bot/spam accounts. There is no need to have pages for accounts that clearly will not edit the site or be used again, and it may make searching for valuable talk pages difficult in Special:AllPages. Given the current way WiKirby handles new accounts, this number of account talk pages should not increase. My criterion for deletion would be the following:<br />
<pre><br />
*User names must follow the following format:<br />
FirstnameLastname<br />
or<br />
FirstnameLastnameNumbers<br />
<br />
*There are no contributions for the user.<br />
<br />
*There is no main user page<br />
<br />
*The talk page consists solely of the welcome message.<br />
<br />
*The account is older than Jan 1, 2021.<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
I'd be happy to make a list and hand it to admin team or temporarily regain my admin role wiki-only and do it myself, whichever is more comfortable for staff. [[User:Trig Jegman|Trig]] - 19:35, 8 February 2023 (UTC)<br />

==Reporting a bug==<br />
I was going to but a new version of a image of [[Chip]], so I went to upload, then the templates were VERY squashed, and the text were so small, I had to see the keyboard just to get it right. Any solutions? --[[User:KirJoey|Joey]] 5:57 PM, 15 August 2010 (UTC)<br />
:Hm, it's messed up for me as well. This appears to be a technical issue with the Wiki code, so there's not much I can do about it. I reported the bug at the staff board, though, so someone with the capabilities of fiddling with the code will hopefully fix it in the near-ish future.--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 19:43, 15 August 2010 (CDT)<br />

== Main Page work ==<br />
<br />
Hello, I just added a Wanted Pages template to the Main Page, and was wanting you to have a look and see if any further adjustments are needed for your screen resolution. After I changed my res to the lowest setting I noticed a gap still exist at the bottom of the right margin, which could hold another small template. My normal res shows the right margin slightly longer than the left. My next move will be to try to change the Videos box to make it a little more consistent between the resolution settings. {{User:Axiomist/sig}} 08:44, 18 August 2010 (CDT)<br />
<br />
:Hm, looks fine to me. I see no real problems with it currently. There's [http://www.duckattack.de/gap.png a rather tall gap below the Wanted Pages box and to the left of the video one for me, though]; not sure if that's the gap you're talking about. As for the rest of the page, it looks fine to me atm, although the right golden wing image of the News box is below the "WiKirby News Box" text instead of to the right of it because it doesn't fit into the box otherwise; not quite sure what could be done about that, though.--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 13:12, 18 August 2010 (CDT)<br />

== New topic ==<br />
<br />
Just passing along an alert to a new topic in the staff discussion that I hope you and everyone else will take interest in. I'm hoping to implement it this weekend.{{User:Axiomist/sig}} 22:25, 24 August 2010 (CDT)<br />
<br />
== Check User ==<br />
<br />
[[Special:CheckUser]] is the new tool you have access to. I've only used it twice or so when EmmaWatson spammed, and when Turboo asked to block a second account (which didn't show up). So I'm not so familiar with it to write up the UserRights page on it, but if all of those new accounts adding images and nothing else have matching IPs we might as well block them, if it turns out we blocked a legitimate user, they still have the NIWA forums to inform us on and the reversal is simple enough for them.{{User:Axiomist/sig}} 15:00, 4 October 2010 (CDT)<br />

== Happy Birthday ==<br />
<br />
Happy Birthday, according to the skype alert! Anyhow, I think my work week is returning to normal, which means I can finally get things done here. Thanks for holding down the fort with the recent deletions and all! {{User:Axiomist/sig}} 21:19, 14 November 2010 (CST)<br />
:Thank you :D The Skype alert is correct :p And that's good to hear. I do what I can to take care of stuff here, though that's not much with all the ''Kirby's Epic Yarn'' edits lately that I can't really patrol without actually having the game or any deeper knowledge about it :\ --[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 16:03, 15 November 2010 (CST)<br />
::No sweat, I bought the game, but haven't had a chance to even rip it out of the plastic. But feel free to ignore them, I'll play it soon and work on it all. {{User:Axiomist/sig}} 19:47, 15 November 2010 (CST)<br />

== Period Spacing ==<br />
<br />
Meh, that's just how I've always done it. (<-2 spaces, :O) I never really knew it was thought of as inefficient until I looked it up a minute ago. (<-again, :O) But still, it's not really a big deal... you don't have to overreact over such a small thing.:P '''Edit:''' I suppose it would be serious if done it bulk. {{:User:Austin/sig}} 20:20, 16 February 2011 (CST)<br />
:The problem here wasn't so much the edit itself as the edit reason, actually, telling other people to also put two spaces after a period (especially with that statement coming from the head patroller); had to clear this up before more people started doing it :p --[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 12:05, 18 February 2011 (CST)<br />

==Maybe A New Kirby?==<br />
<br />
Well, since there's only Ireland, US, Ireland, and Germany. I might want a Ukraine one. Though I ain't Ukrainnian, I have Ukrainnian blood. Maybe do Ukraine Kirby? --[[User:KirJoey|Joey]] 4:49 PM, February 22, 2011 (EST)<br />
:Sure, I'll make one later today; the flag only has two colours, so it shouldn't take long :3 --[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 17:00, 22 February 2011 (CST)<br />
Last one, Polish Kirby. Simple. [[User:KirJoey|Joey]]<br />
:Eh, perhaps tomorrow :P I don't want to edit that page so often, so I'll put it on there when I have a couple other country Kirbies done (well, they are already done, actually, but not their userbox colour schemes :p).--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 15:08, 23 February 2011 (CST)<br />
::Done and even stranger looking than the rest. Apparently, the Polish flag's white is actually a light grey from the way the colours are officially defined.--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 15:42, 24 February 2011 (CST)<br />

== Axiomist ==<br />
<br />
hiya vellidragon..<br />
<br />
i'm sure you heard about the passing of Axiomist..which has hit me very hard emotionally, since i was very close to him. i always tried to prove myself to him yknow, so i could become an admin, and he always said it was a possibility, since it he needed more admins, which made me happy. i wanted to gain respect generally from a community, but now i just want to make sure i'm helping his wiki be the best it can be.<br />
<br />
since he's gone now..i dont have anyone to talk to from the wiki regularly, someone else to prove to. He asked me to design the WiKirby mascot, I dont know if you know about it, but if you think I'm making it up, I'm not.<br />
<br />
all I want is to make my big bro proud, so if you have skype or msn..please take the time to add me and get to know me..thanks..<br />
<br />
--[[User:HeathyChan|HeathyChan]] 12:58, 23 March 2011 (CDT)<br />
:Hallo. Yes, I know about it, and it hit me just as hard. I know exactly what you mean; I always felt pretty much the same, even though I'm already an admin. I know about the mascot thing, though I don't know what Ax's plans for that were, unfortunately; I'm not sure about a lot of his plans for the wiki, actually, though I for one will be doing my best to keep moving forward with it, hopefully with the continuing support of the rest of the remaining staff and the community. As for Skype and talking, there is a public WiKirby chat on Skype (also see [[WiKirby:Skype]], though that page is terribly outdated) that I could invite you to, though I would need to know your username on there.--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 13:24, 23 March 2011 (CDT)<br />
<br />
::hey, yeah, my skype name is robburrowlover, and thankyou so much for acknowledging my grieving, I think Ax couldve told me a few plans, but i'm not sure, he and I discussed the appearence of the mascot and stuff.

== Long Time, No See==<br />
<br />
So...yesh. I'm back and I CAN'T wait for the Kirby Wii to come out. :D<br />
<br />
So, I wonder if you can make a Brazilian-American Kirby? I'm really Brazilian American, and I know it could take some time, but it would be worth it since I am gonna really put it on my homepage. --[[User:KirJoey|Joey]]<br />
:Welcome back! I can wait, as I likely will hardly get to play it, like with ''Epic Yarn'', and all it means is that even more things have to be covered when we're not even nearly done covering the games that already exist ;_; *kicks a stub in frustration*<br/>As for that Kirby, I have no idea how that would look. Just a country Kirby with half of the Brazilian and half of the U.S. flag? Please specify.--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 18:19, 18 July 2011 (CDT)<br />
<br />
Yes, Half of Brazil on one side, US on the other side. Doesn't matter which side is which. --[[User:KirJoey|Joey]]<br />
:Ok, here it is: [http://www.duckattack.de/BR-USKirby.png clicky!] Just fused the already existing U.S. one with the Brazil one, but with a nicer transition. Looks kinda odd, but meh :\ U.S. flag is on the left so the stars are visible. Wasn't sure if you wanted it on WiKirby as well or just on your homepage. If you need it here, feel free to upload it. Please let me know when you've uploaded this anywhere though so I can delete it from my own webspace.--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 19:02, 18 July 2011 (CDT)<br />
<br />
Can you put it in like a template like you do with the other Kirbies? [[User:KirJoey|Joey]]<br />
:You can easily do that yourself by copying the code of an existing userbox and changing it accordingly; that's why the userboxes aren't hardcoded in the first place. You probably know better than I what colours you want, etc.--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 11:21, 19 July 2011 (CDT)<br />

== Help Me! ==<br />
<br />
Hey, uh... how are you supposed to "rank up" or whatever? I mean, I've been contributing a LOT lately, and it's not really doing anything. :-{ --[[User:Catulaster|Catulaster]] 16:07, 4 August 2011 (CDT)<br />
:It doesn't happen automatically and it has nothing to do with your amount of contributions. Users may be promoted (i.e. made part of the staff) by a bureaucrat (i.e. me) if the staff (i.e. me :\ Everyone else left or isn't particularly active) considers them worthy of a promotion; making very good edits and showing understanding of the site's standards and the general internal workings of a wiki are a requirement for that. There is no "ranking up" system; I guess the wording on the help page for this is rather confusing, which I apologise for; I believe our help pages were initially taken from a different wiki and not all of them are flawless. Anyway, I'm not yet seeing the "understanding of the site's standards" very much in your edits, but I'll be watching your contributions and if they improve, you may eventually be promoted :3 --[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 16:19, 4 August 2011 (CDT)<br/>EDIT: The guidelines in the help are partially outdated, as far as I'm aware, so you may want to look at how things are usually done and figure out standards from that; in particular, check out some articles I made and the featured ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 2]]'' page to get an idea of style and such. I'm really sorry our help pages aren't as helpful as they should be and will be working on them when I get around to do so :\ --[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 16:23, 4 August 2011 (CDT)<br />
<br />
== Contractions ==<br />
Hey. Sorry if it seems like I'm taling too much, but sorry for my abundance of contractions. It's just in my blood (I guess) to use contractions while writing. Is there any way for me to delete said contractions without deleting EVERYTHING ELSE that I've edited?! --[[User:Catulaster|Catulaster]] 10:53, 5 August 2011 (CDT)<br />
:No need to be sorry as long as you try not to use them in articles anymore :3 As for getting rid of them, unless you inserted them in a seperate edit, the only way (as far as I'm aware) to revert them without undoing other things is to do so manually for each contraction (in a new edit, as opposed to using "undo" on the old one). Ctrl+F may help you find them more easily, though (when I was "uncontracting" some contractions yesterday, I searched for ' (apostrophe) and cycled through the results; this of course finds the bold & italics code and the genitive 's as well, though, both of which should of course remain intact).--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 14:01, 5 August 2011 (CDT)<br />
<br />
== Who Knew? ==<br />
<br />
Wow. I had no idea the universe would hate me for providing a resource for Kirby artwork on a Kirby Wiki. Apparently I had done everything wrong-the images I uploaded were the wrong file type, they weren't transparent, and everyone on the wiki already knew about the site (although little to no anime artwork was uploaded). I've always disliked Wikipedia, Mario Wiki and others because of how the wiki "government" controls every page, complains about every user when "This is a free encyclopedia that anyone can edit," and undoes most edits. I have no doubt you will respond to me with hate, remove my comment from your discussion page, and possibly even ban me. Once I AM killed-I mean, you remove me from the wiki, I hope you can take time out of your busy schedule of "patrolling" to put the artwork in photoshop and remove the horrible white background that ruins the entire image. --[[User:TripleD|Triple D is awesome]] 13:47, 7 August 2011 (CDT)<br />
:Uploading images in the right format and with transparency right away, especially seeing how it's a wiki-wide standard, shouldn't really be asking too much. I don't quite understand your problem here; apparently, you are asking me to let everyone do what they want without following rules or standards? It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what an unorganised mess that would result in. Insulting me for enforcing standards in order to prevent Wikirby from becoming a mess really wasn't necessary. WiKirby, like other wikis, is indeed a "free encyclopedia that anyone can edit", but that doesn't mean that you ''should'' edit it if you're not planning to cooperate and actually enhance the site by following existing standards (not to mention you are agreeing that other people may change your contributions by submitting them, as is quite clearly explained at the bottom, so don't complain about your edits being undone. If you want to do whatever you like without running the risk of adjustments being made, maybe a wiki is not the place to go (and if you are going to insult people and throw false accusations around every time you receive critique, it definitely is not the place to go)). Thank you for your concerns about my schedule, but be informed that it mostly consists of having a life rather than "patrolling", so I would still be grateful if you did not unnecessarily take away my time. I am afraid I'm not going to ban you, but I will have to warn you to stop your aggressive behaviour.--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 14:38, 7 August 2011 (CDT)<br />

== ^ Sorry 'bout that ==<br />
<br />
I have a rare medical condition (which I'll keep unnamed for privacy purposes) that can result in low blood pressure and crankiness, among other things. That said, I probably should stay away from talk pages (esp. the admin's) when I need to raise my blood pressure. Sorry.--[[User:TripleD|Triple D is awesome]] 17:30, 7 August 2011 (CDT)<br />
:It's alright :3 Sorry if I seemed harsh above, I had no knowledge of your condition and was just doing my job in telling you to stop. But yeah, you should probably stay away from user talks at those times :\--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 18:05, 7 August 2011 (CDT)<br />
Yes, I did upload the artwork in PNG and transparent, check out the page [[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!|here]]. :3 I'm also uploading the artwork for Whispy, Ice Dragon, Rick, and some of the villagers today. --[[User:TripleD|Triple D is awesome]] 09:35, 9 August 2011 (CDT)<br />
:Yeah, I saw that you've been uploading transparent ones. These are looking great :3 Almost makes me feel like writing some anime sections/articles, but I have yet to actually watch most of the English dub episodes :p Added [[Masher|Masher's]] artwork to its page, though :3 --[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 10:23, 9 August 2011 (CDT)<br />

== Curiosity about upload error==<br />
<br />
While I was uploading the images for the Kirby Super Star Ultra table, it wouldn't allow me to name a a sprite of bandana waddle dee "File: BandanaSSU.png". I got this:<br />
'''You do not have permission to do that, for the following reason:<br />
The title "File:BandanaSSU.png" has been banned from creation. It matches the following blacklist entry: .*[Aa4][Ss5][Ss5].*<br />
'''<br />
For my own curiosity, why was this title banned? --[[User:TripleD|Triple D is awesome]] 08:20, 19 August 2011 (CDT)<br />
:The word was banned because it's a swear word. I whitelisted a large number of innocent words including it, but didn't think of the possibility that anyone may want to put "SSU" after an "a". I'm going to try and whitelist it.--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 09:24, 19 August 2011 (CDT)<br/>EDIT: Done, should work as it should in the future. :3 --[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 09:30, 19 August 2011 (CDT)<br />

== Add to help ==<br />
<br />
Sorry about embedding an illegal video, won't happen again. Out of curiosity and for my own personal gain as an editor, I looked over all possibly relevant sections of Wikirby's help and found nothing against illegal videos or linking to them. While I agree this should be a defined rule, we should add it to <nowiki>"help"</nowiki> so other users don't make the same mistake. I did find a Help:Youtube on Mario Wiki, which could be used as a reference for this but Wikirby will obviously have different standards. -[[User:TripleD|Triple D is awesome]] 12:23, 25 August 2011 (CDT)<br />
:That's odd, I could have sworn we had stated this somewhere, but I can't find anything clear either :\ '''WiKirby:User Accounts''' does state linking to questionable content as a potential banning reason, though, which I presume anything illegal would fall under; should perhaps make that more obvious. The thing to realise here is that it's not WiKirby-specific, though, it's downright illegal (to my knowledge), so it should not be necessary to explicitly mention it here, as WiKirby is not exempt from the law; then again, it certainly won't ''hurt'' to mention it, necessary or not, so I'll look into that some time.--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 13:37, 25 August 2011 (CDT)<br />
::An update on this! I was in fact not mistaken when I thought that we mentioned this in the help. This sentence is in the Quality Standards:<br/>''Do not put up links to online Manga translations, fansubs of Japanese retail videos, TV show episodes, or game ROM downloads.''<br/>That should cover it nicely.--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 10:09, 27 August 2011 (CDT)<br />

== Uploading Assistance ==<br />
<br />
I know it's kinda stupid for me to ask this, (mind you, I'm still a beginning editor) but how am I able to link a video to an article? (Sorry if you don't understand what I'm talking about) --[[User:Catulaster|CatuLaster]] 18:49, 26 August 2011 (CDT)<br />
:If you mean how to embed a YouTube video, use [[:Template:Youtube]]; instructions are in the template documentation. Remember not to embed anything of questionable legality, though, like free anime episodes.--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 09:27, 27 August 2011 (CDT)<br />
<br />
== Sorry, Sorry, And Sorry Again ==<br />
<br />
I'm very sorry about [[User talk:Catulaster|that]] :( I didn't know deleting those would make me seem like I'm ignorant, or whatever. But, I have one thing to ask: When you redirect an article, the redirect takes you to a page with a normal link on it (i.e. [[Top Ride]]). However, other pages (i.e. [[Turn]]) take you immediately to another page. My question: how do you do that? --[[User:Catulaster|CatuLaster]] 11:14, 28 August 2011 (CDT)<br />
:It's ok. And you make automatic redirects by not putting anything else than the redirect itself on the page; the Top Ride thing had wikicode for italics around the link, breaking it. The redirect page must only consist of "<nowiki>#REDIRECT[[target]]</nowiki>", no wikicode or anything.--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 11:58, 28 August 2011 (CDT)<br />

:That's alright :3 There's no need to apologise, I'm just doing my job when I'm writing warnings or reminders. On an unrelated note, as I'm talking to you anyway, the Waddle Doo and Dee images on your user page appear to be fan art; if they are, please mark them as personal images as per '''Help:Personal Images''' and ensure you have usage permission by the creator if you want to keep them.--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 14:36, 14 September 2011 (CDT)<br />

The first video is on Beanstalk Park, the second is on Magma Flows.<br />
<br />
There are no images on the website for: Frozen Hillside (the only snow course), Magma Flows (the only lava course), Machine Passage (the only techno/machine-based course), and Nebula Belt (the only one set in outer space), and all top ride courses and City Trial, but those can be found on IGN / Gamespot. Hope this helps - talk to me if the info's not clear enough. [[User:Changtau2005|Changtau2005]] 06:50, 30 September 2011 (CDT)<br />

== Names In Other Languages, Or Not? ==<br />
<br />
Should every article, related to something that ''actually'' has another translation, have a Names In Other Languages section? I just wanted to know, for future reference, or whatever. --[[User:Catulaster|Catulaster]] 16:56, 18 October 2011 (CDT)<br />
:No idea what you mean. Everything with names in other languages should have names in other languages listed, if you mean that. Makes no sense to me not to list them if they exist (and they almost always do, at the very least in Japanese).--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 17:46, 18 October 2011 (CDT)<br />

== Jerkweed? ==<br />
<br />
The page title has been blacklisted, but Jerkweed is a common and important thingamajig in Mass Attack. Any chance you could please fiddle with that? [[User:Sparky|Sparky]] 15:35, 23 October 2011 (CDT)<br />
:Thank you very much for informing me. It is, in fact, the word "weed" that is blacklisted, so everything containing that will also be blocked by default. I just added "Jerkweed" to the whitelist, though, so that should work now; let me know if it still doesn't and I'll look into it more.--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 15:40, 23 October 2011 (CDT)<br />

==Pictures==<br />
Hello Vellidragon. I'm one of the caretakers of Wikia's Kirby wiki, but that's not important. I just wanted you to know that the transparent pngs on the [[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]] article are taken from there.<br />
<br />
Gamefreak (one of the older admins) loaded up high-res jpegs and and asked me to clean them up, and I spent several hours doing so via filters and background removal tools personally (using Corel Paint Shop Pro X3). Several of those pictures I uploaded myself separately and they are not found anywhere else on the internet - the transparent Lor Starcutter pic or the group character picture straight from the PAL / Japan box art front for example - I had to decompile Nintendo's original Flash files using a specific decompiler tool (Trillix) and recompose them. These processes modify the images in a specific way - removal of artifacts modify individual pixels depending on specific filter settings, and pixel-perfect recomposition of the images from separate Flash "sprite" data using Trillix means sometimes the final image attains a faint grey edge, and the images are extracted at Nintendo's original resolution. I checked the images for duplicity by sampling pixels and they have 100% matching, so there's no doubt about the primary image source.<br />
<br />
With all due respect, I'm not asking for the images to removed unless that's how things are run - since none of us own those images and Nintendo holds the copyright, but according to Wikirby's '''inter-wiki policy''' I think [[User:Yarnkirby|Yarnkirby]] should have attributed the source of the image to the wiki at least when he/she uploaded them. I'm aware of the possibility that some third-party site might have taken the images as-is from Wikia, and Yarnkirby might have taken the pictures from there, so I really don't know.<br />
<br />
On the flipside, if you happen to discover any pictures or any content for that matter on Wikia taken straight from Wikirby, please do tell me and I'll confirm the source with the editor and remove it if it's ripped straight from another wiki or Kirbypedia / KRR.<br />
<br />
Cheers,<br />
[[User:Changtau2005|Changtau2005]] 14:27, 25 October 2011 (CDT)<br />
:I had been wondering where those images came from, actually. Let it be known that this wasn't approved by me, nor was I aware of it. I thank you for informing me and will leave the uploader a message as soon as I can. You stated you're not requesting their deletion, but I can still delete them if you change your mind; I'm not particularly attached to them and they're all just in a random gallery at the moment, so this wouldn't be too problematic. I would like to avoid hostilities, so please do tell me if anyone over there wants them gone and I'll make it happen. What I will do in any case, as soon as I have the time, is properly attribute them. Thanks again for informing me of this, and do let me know if anyone steals images from your wiki again.--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 14:40, 25 October 2011 (CDT)<br />
<br />
::Ah, no problem, and, whether they're deleted or not is really up to the decisions of Wikirby's admin team =) I just wanted to be clear that having them removed is not the intention of the message. For the record, I don't know where Gamefreak got the original jpgs from, and they don't look like scanned media. They might be for press-related institutions / publishing bodies or from e-book subscriptions or other restricted sources to which I have no access to.<br />
<br />
::Best regards, [[User:Changtau2005|Changtau2005]] 15:36, 25 October 2011 (CDT)<br />
:::Alright, I've notified the uploader and started attributing the images. If nobody is requesting their deletion, I currently don't see a reason to delete them, though it would certainly be nicer to display what is actually our own work here (we don't currently have an "admin team", btw, I'm really the only one :p). What I'm wondering about, though, is whether [[:File:KRtDL Kirby Dash Artwork.png|File:PuffballRtDL.png]] was also stolen, as it wasn't uploaded by Yarnkirby and we do have at least one other transparent image in the gallery evidently not from the Wikia (namely [[:File:Kirby KRtDL.png]]). The PuffballRtDL image does resemble yours, but it appears to be a different file size (unless the displayed size on either wiki is off), so I'm not sure.--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 13:34, 26 October 2011 (CDT)<br />
<br />
::::Those two you mentioned are good; there aren't any duplicates on Wikia of current / previous uploads that I'm aware of. It's curious that KirbyKRtDL.png shares the same 3k by 3k resolution but I think it's purely coincidence. The one on Wikia is full-color depth and has less effective resolution than the version on Wikirby, which I think might be a png conversion from a 256-color gif file with dithering. They're definitely not the same files. [[User:Changtau2005|Changtau2005]] 20:02, 26 October 2011 (CDT)<br />
:::::Alright, thank you very much :3 I won't have to issue any more reminders then. Thanks again for checking these!--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 11:21, 28 October 2011 (CDT)<br />

== Plagiarism ==<br />
<br />
Aside from the trivia, I think the Galacta Knight is okay, and the True Arena article looks okay, too. The story section from Kirby's Return to Dream Land was taken from the Wikia's Magolor article. I took out the boss list, since it was probably copied, but for that content there isn't really any other organization method. <br />
<br />
It looks like Keeby got the images from the Kirby Wikia, also, except for Keeby2.png. <span style="text-shadow:0px 0px 3px rgba(70,130,180,.8)">'''''[[User:Sky|<font color="#4682B4">-Sky</font>]] <small>[[User talk:Sky|<font color="#4682B4">(talk)</font>]]</small>'''''</span> 22:42, 3 November 2011 (CDT)<br />
<br />
:...But you knew that already. XP I missed your edit to the Return to Dream Land talk page. <span style="text-shadow:0px 0px 3px rgba(70,130,180,.8)">'''''[[User:Sky|<font color="#4682B4">-Sky</font>]] <small>[[User talk:Sky|<font color="#4682B4">(talk)</font>]]</small>'''''</span> 22:45, 3 November 2011 (CDT)<br />
::Ah, thanks for reminding me of the images. Didn't have much time lately, but I'll delete them now. I'll delete the Keeby one as well as it's fan art and, last time I checked, not marked as personal or used anywhere. (On an unrelated note, are you the same Sky as the Nookipedia lead editor? We have this ambassador user group which I believe is for non-WiKirby NIWA staff, though it hasn't been used much. I could add you to that if that's the case, it would autopatrol your edits and some other little things apparently ([[Special:ListGroupRights]]).)--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 10:58, 7 November 2011 (CST)<br />
:Ok, I deleted what I could confirm was taken from wikia; unfortunately, I cannot find wikia equivalents of '''File:Magolors_soul.png''', '''File:Magolor_Boss2.jpg''', '''File:Landia.jpg''' and '''File:Magolor_Boss.jpg'''; while I have no doubt they were stolen from somewhere, I can't rightfully delete them without confirmation that they were. Did those images use to be on the wikia but have since been deleted? They're all very low-quality, so that wouldn't be unlikely.--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 11:16, 7 November 2011 (CST)<br />
<br />
::Looking now, I don't see duplicates for those images either (one of them I thought was a duplicate was actually just very similar). There is a recent deletion log entry for a Magolor Soul image, so that one could be one of the images here. (And I am the Sky from Nookipedia.) <span style="text-shadow:0px 0px 3px rgba(70,130,180,.8)">'''''[[User:Sky|<font color="#4682B4">-Sky</font>]] <small>[[User talk:Sky|<font color="#4682B4">(talk)</font>]]</small>'''''</span> 21:30, 7 November 2011 (CST)<br />
<br />
::Sorry to interrupt, but no, the four images you listed, Vellidragon, were not stolen from the wikia site. However, I think the '''File:Magolors_soul.png''' may have been on the site, but it's long gone now. Hope this clears things up. {{User|Gamefreak75}}<br />
:::Thank you very much; I had been meaning to contact you on this, but I guess that's not necessary anymore :3 I suppose if they're not from the wikia, they can remain on here for now unless they turn out to be stolen from some other place. They will eventually have to be replaced anyway, as they're very low quality, so it's just a temporary thing in any case. Thanks again for looking into this.--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 20:59, 9 November 2011 (CST)<br />

== I Blame Gordo... ==<br />
<br />
[[Gordo|...for the "Appearance" sections]]. =P<br />
<br />
Anyway, I found the article formatting guide, and they way it's set up, a lot of articles (like the enemies) don't have any headings for the main content, which makes them look unappealing (in my opinion). For example, the [[Batty]] article has enough information to fill a decent-sized article section, but all of it is put into what I would consider an introduction section.<br><br />
Is there any other format to use for those types of articles that would give them some more organization? <span style="text-shadow:0px 0px 3px rgba(70,130,180,.8)">'''''[[User:Sky|<font color="#4682B4">-Sky</font>]] <small>[[User talk:Sky|<font color="#4682B4">(talk)</font>]]</small>'''''</span> 12:58, 13 November 2011 (CST)<br />
:Yeah, some articles still have appearance sections; this is mainly as I keep planning to rewrite stuff completely and remove those while I'm at it, but I'm rarely finding the time for that. I went by what most articles (well, newer ones; the Gordo article, among some others, is still from the wiki's beginning stages, as far as I'm aware) already looked like when I wrote the formatting guide to properly be able to enforce some consistency in the future as well, and I don't believe short-ish articles need any more organisation (and I like how they look, myself, though 1024x768 resolution may make them look better). They're organised just as well as the longer ones, except the latter are divided into games, which can't be done when there's only one game to deal with, and interspersing the paragraphs with section headings just for the sake of having section headings isn't going to improve them. Ax said long ago when the topic was brought up that headings should only be used when there's a need to divide information, and I honestly don't see a need for such a division in articles with 2-3 paragraphs and only a single game appearance; besides, enforcing such a format on single-game articles makes no sense without also using the same format in the game sub-sections of multiple-game articles, which will just become cluttered then. Making articles using the current formatting standards actually earned me my staff position to begin with, so I figure that's the way Ax wanted them to look and I currently have no plans to change that (not only in honour of his memory but also because I see no necessity).--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 13:22, 13 November 2011 (CST)<br />

== About Top Ride ==<br />
<br />
Hey, Vellidragon. I was wondering what I should write for the Top Ride course (Light, Metal, Grass, etc.) articles. I'm pretty sure that if I put the basic information and all that general stuff, the articles'll be ''way'' to short. If you could just assist me a little, that'd be greatish. --[[User:Catulaster|Catulaster]] 10:05, 10 December 2011 (CST)<br />
:Gladly would, but as I believe I have stated before, I have never played ''[[Kirby Air Ride]]'' and know practically nothing about it, so I won't be able to help with ''Air Ride'' coverage, sorry :\ I neither have the money nor the time (anymore) to actually buy and play all these games, so there'll always be a couple whose coverage I won't be able to help on (or properly monitor). I mostly just trust the contributors to do so instead, but with almost no actual contributors, that's rather problematic :/ --[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 10:15, 10 December 2011 (CST)<br />

== Image Transparencies ==<br />
<br />
Hello, I just uploaded (and reverted my upload) of a KRtDL Ice Kirby file because I see a white background, so I opened it up in GIMP and removed the white into transparency, then uploaded, and the problem was still there, despite the fact that if I load it in GIMP, it shows as transparent? I'm kind of inexperienced in these matters, so may you offer some help? Thanks :) [[User:T.c.w7468|T.c.w7468]] 21:17, 28 December 2011 (CST)<br />
:You likely didn't do a clean refresh in your browser and it was loading the older, cached version of the image. I don't know what browser you are using, but in Firefox, holding Ctrl and hitting F5 will perform a clean refresh. I can confirm your transparent image was working fine and looking good, so feel free to revert back to that :3 It was just a browser cache-related issue.--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 21:22, 28 December 2011 (CST)<br />

::Hope I understood this right... If you mean uploading a new version of an image that's a different format than the currently uploaded one, I don't believe that works. If your new version is a different format, just upload it as a new file rather than a new version of the existing one and manually adjust the filename where the image is used (or if it's used in many articles, let me know and I can text replace them). I can delete the non-PNG ones when they are no longer needed; there's even a premade "superseded" deletion message for that.--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 15:54, 29 December 2011 (CST)<br />

With deletion message, I meant a message I can set to show up as the deletion reason in the recent changes when I delete things, sorry. There's no need to mark the images for deletion, they will show up in unused images when they're not used anymore and I will eventually delete them.--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 16:30, 29 December 2011 (CST)<br />

:::But aren't NIWA wikis automatically affiliated? o.O Or am I completely misunderstanding something here? SmashWiki in particular is interlinking with almost every NIWA wiki, so it seems strange to me that they would deny affiliation.

:Hallo. No need to apologise :3 Not sure what licence the wikia uses, but I'm fairly certain it's not public domain. Taking text from a different wiki is in any case frowned upon and shouldn't be done. We've had problems before with people plagiarising text from the Kirby Wikia in particular.

::Did you read my edit summary? It's the point value that's awarded when ANY projectile destroys an enemy; there is NO difference between puffing air or spitting a star at them. I just checked the game again to confirm this, and can also confirm that the same amount of points is also rewarded if Kirby simply bumps into the enemy (presumably, using a bomb or microphone also awards this amount). Therefore, it is reasonable to treat this (more commonly awarded) amount of points as the base value and consider the points awarded for inhaling the enemy the exception, as inhaling an enemy is the only case in which the player receives a different amount of points.--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 16:25, 15 June 2012 (CDT)<br />

==Ado/Adeleine Verdict==<br />
A couple months back, there was an encyclopedia of Kirby's history for his 20th anniversary released only in Japan. One of sections cracks the code of Ado's gender and relationship to Adeleine. Rough translation: "Ado and Adeleine are '''girls''' who came to Pop Star to study art. They are almost identical to each other in appearance and fighting style. Although there is much debate whether they are the same person, '''it is probable that they are one and the same, Ado is her nickname and Adeleine is her birth name'''." [[User:Technickal]]<br />
:Nice find! I suppose we can refer to Ado as female now with the relevant portion as a reference (it would be great if the original Japanese could be cited, not just a translation, so it can be verified that it wasn't distorted through mistranslation). As for identity, if even the encyclopaedia doesn't 100% confirm that they are the same ("probable"), I think we should keep them seperate, but definitely point this out (again with this source; original Japanese would be even more important to have here).--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 11:22, 21 June 2013 (CDT)<br />

== Main Page update? ==<br />
<br />
Hey, Vellidragon! I'm new-ish around here---I created my account almost 2 years ago but only decided to become active last week---and I've been doing things (mostly of the organizational variety) to tidy up a bit over the past few days. One thing that's been bugging me, however, is the main page. It's...pretty outdated! There's a message celebrating the 2nd anniversary of the wiki...over 2 years ago, and the new/upcoming games box makes no mention of Triple Deluxe! I realise that WiKirby's not the most...active wiki, to say the least, but maybe if the main page were up to date, it would become at least a little more active. (...Maybe?)<br />
<br />
<br />
I'd do something about it myself, but I obviously don't have the proper permissions. You appear to be the only semi-active admin around these parts, so I guess it's up to you! So, uh...in summary, it'd be great if you would wipe some of that metaphorical dust of the main page. Thanks! :) --[[User:EzloSpirit|<span style="font-family:courier; color:#5ca028;">EzloSpirit</span>]] <sup><span style="font-family:courier;">([[User talk:EzloSpirit|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/EzloSpirit|contribs]])</span><sup> 06:19, 15 May 2014 (UTC)<br />
:You are so right! Sorry for not getting back to you earlier. There are so many outdated things here especially since tech people keep screwing up the server and having to restore from age-old backups and I'm lacking the time (and by now motivation thanks to the repeated sever screw-ups) to work on them. :( I don't have much hope left for the site after all the times the server went down and/or the account database got nuked, usually with little to no explanation from the tech people responsible. I lost tons of contributions here myself. Things like that and being occupied with more important things just killed my enthusiasm for the site, which I'm sorry for, but I don't see it coming back right now.<br />
<br />
:So, I currently have no idea when or if I will feel up to the task of cleaning things up. :( I'm not sure if anyone would care by now either way, the continuous tech-side failures probably drove people away. Sorry.--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] ([[User talk:Vellidragon|talk]]) 02:55, 11 June 2014 (UTC)<br />
:EDIT: We actually did have an announcement about Triple Deluxe on the main page and some coverage, but it all was lost thanks to the aforementioned screw-ups on server side.--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] ([[User talk:Vellidragon|talk]]) 03:06, 11 June 2014 (UTC)<br />

Hi Velli. Can the [[MediaWiki:Sitenotice|site notice]] be removed now? I feel that it is an issue that has passed, and every affected website is back up.

It turns out that user has also vandalized other pages and has created ones for non-existing things such as '''Kirby & the Bathroom Mirror''', '''Red Reds''' and '''Mario Air Ride'''. Can you block them and delete those nonsense pages they've made please? I'm currently trying to revert the mess they've made on the other pages.<br />

== Update ==<br />
<br />
Hello. Could you update the table at the bottom of the edit table where there are NIWA links? No new wikis since F-Zero Wiki has been added. Thanks! --[[User:Raltseye|<span style="color:#FF6464">R</span><span style="color:#11BB11">alts</span><span style="color:#6464FF">eye</span>]] [[User talk:Raltseye|prata med mej]] 08:14, 13 February 2018 (UTC)<br />
:Wow, I never knew those links were there! Had to check to even know what you meant. Thanks for pointing this out, I'll be looking into it later.--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] ([[User talk:Vellidragon|talk]]) 16:39, 13 February 2018 (UTC)<br />

== Remove the Main Page's title? ==<br />
[[User:Raltseye|Raltseye]] and I are thinking of removing the title 'Kirby Wiki' at the top of the main page, as many other wikis do that as standard practice. Would this be fine by you? --[[User:Fubaka|Fubaka]] ([[User talk:Fubaka|talk]]) 20:55, 10 March 2018 (UTC)<br />
:I think it's titled that way to help us show up in searches for a "Kirby Wiki", since the site name doesn't include it. I don't know how much it benefits us, but it probably doesn't hurt to keep it there.--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] ([[User talk:Vellidragon|talk]]) 23:01, 10 March 2018 (UTC)<br />
::Hmm, at the same time, when I do a search for 'Kirby Wiki' on Google, the page title isn't what's highlighted when we get to WiKirby. Instead, it highlights "a '''Kirby Wiki''' encyclopedia that anyone can edit". That wouldn't go away if we hid the title. --[[User:Fubaka|Fubaka]] ([[User talk:Fubaka|talk]]) 23:22, 10 March 2018 (UTC)<br />
:::I'm not finding anything for or against the idea, so I don't think page titles are taken into consideration for SEOs. (semi-releated: [https://searchengineland.com/nine-best-practices-for-optimized-title-tags-111979]). <br />
:::It is important to have a <code><title></title></code> tag, which is handled by the software. But that is "WiKirby" for the main page and not "Kirby Wiki". <br />
:::The main page might be hard coded to ignore it entirely. For comparison, see [[Wing]]'s title as <code><title>Wing - WiKirby</title></code> and this pages title as <code><title>User talk:Vellidragon - WiKirby</title></code>.<br />
:::So, in summary: If you think it isn't helping, then I see no harm in removing it. <br />
:::Hope I helped, [[User:Tacopill|Tacopill]] ([[User talk:Tacopill|talk]]) 04:35, 11 March 2018 (UTC)<br />
::::Hate to bug you about this again, but have you come to a decision on whether we should remove the title or not? --[[User:Fubaka|Fubaka]] ([[User talk:Fubaka|talk]]) 22:23, 23 March 2018 (UTC)<br />

:Hey, you can link to files directly with <nowiki>[[:File:Name.png]]</nowiki>. I've deleted most of them, I'm not sure what happened with The Sean1596 and if we'll need that image again and "GenoKirby.png" doesn't seem to exist. I'm keeping CDToSBox.jpg for now since it was part of an archived April Fools page which still has it in the code (but commented out along with the infobox so the page doesn't get categorised). May need to put the infobox back without a template eventually if people want to see it, but it's not very important.

== MediaWiki Sidebar ==<br />

Hi, is it ok if you remove the NIWA wikis from [[MediaWiki:Sidebar]]? It looks too long if you use the Monobook skin, and i have to scroll to the search bar. [[User:Results May Vary|Results May Vary]] ([[User talk:Results May Vary|talk]]) 23:08, 27 October 2018 (UTC)<br />

== Independent translation portal request ==<br />
<br />
This is Falco. Some fan translators are opening an independent WordPress called Popstar Press. It's basically a portal for publishing various fan translations of the Kirby series.<br />
<br />
They want to add some affiliated blogs in their external links, and ask if they can put Wikirby as one. It can help boost our data.<br />

:Oh, sorry, I never got an email about this. Affiliates are always good! I see they're linking to us already so I should probably put a link to them in the affiliates section, although I have some concerns due to the questionable legality of what they're doing.--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] ([[User talk:Vellidragon|talk]]) 01:37, 13 November 2018 (UTC)<br />

Greetings, Velli. I sent you an e-mail a couple days ago, and am wondering if you received it. Cheers. --[[User:Fubaka|Fubaka]] ([[User talk:Fubaka|talk]]) 04:03, 3 March 2019 (UTC)<br />

== New MonoBook Skin ==<br />
<br />
There's a new monobook skin on the wiki that I designed you're interested in checking it. Personally I'd prefer it as the default skin (WiKirby Classic being a secondary via Special:Preferences). Do you like the skin? [[User:Results May Vary|Results May Vary]] ([[User talk:Results May Vary|talk]]) 13:54, 31 March 2019 (UTC)<br />

::::Oh, I don't think I got an email about the message from May. It looks really cool! The "Go" and "Search" buttons should turn the cursor into a finger though like on the classic skin. They're not giving any visual feedback that they're clickable right now.---[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] ([[User talk:Vellidragon|talk]]) 18:26, 4 June 2019 (UTC)<br />

== Inactive notice ==<br />
Greetings, Velli. I don't know if you will receive this message, but I feel obligated to send it out anyway. Given that your last action on the wiki was on the 4th of June, I suspect you are well and truly done with WiKirby. As such, it is my intention to move you formally into the inactive staff category. Keep in mind that at any time, even after this change is enacted, you will be allowed to return to your rank(s) as they are defined at the time of this writing if you wish it so. If I receive no word back from you on this page, you will be moved to former staff on January 1st, 2020.<br />
<br />
I suspect that, based on how things have gone, this will be my last message to you. I don't know why you chose to leave, but I hope you are doing well. I have WiKirby well in hand at this point, and it is my intention to continue to watch over it, and help guide it on its continued growth and success. Based on the current level of activity, we should be well on our way to filling in the remaining gaps in the wiki's knowledge base by the end of next year, and a 4000 article milestone should not be unreasonable to meet by then as well. To be honest with you, I had always wanted to become something akin to the Editor-in-Chief here, but I had hoped it would have been with your assent, rather than your absence.<br />
<br />
At any rate, I have spoken for long enough. To reiterate, I will move you to inactive staff on January 1st, 2020 unless you want to return to WiKirby, or you wish me to move you sooner. I will keep watch for a response until then. Best wishes. --[[User:Fubaka|Fubaka]] ([[User talk:Fubaka|talk]]) 14:43, 1 December 2019 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Hi, I never left, I just assume everything is fine if I'm not getting notifications from my talk page. That said, I got no email from this message and I don't know what's up with that. Is there anything else I haven't addressed?--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] ([[User talk:Vellidragon|talk]]) 19:37, 1 December 2019 (UTC)<br />
::Then I assume you're aware of every major thing that's happened on the wiki since we last spoke? Tacopill initially gave me the impression that we called for a new Editor-in-Chief election because he couldn't reach you. That said, I'm not surprised you didn't get an email notification for the last set of messages on your talk page, since the mechanism responsible for sending those has been broken for a while. Hopefully that is something we will have fixed next year.<br />
<br />
::That said, even if you have been here this whole time, you haven't been active at all, and the rest of us had truly believed you were gone. As such, it still may be appropriate for you to move to former staff until such a time that you want to be involved with the wiki again. As I said, I have the wiki well-in-hand at this point, so it's not necessary for you to continue keeping watch if you don't want to. Let me know what you would like in that regard. --[[User:Fubaka|Fubaka]] ([[User talk:Fubaka|talk]]) 20:51, 1 December 2019 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::I believe the purpose of the activity status is to let people know who they can contact if they need staff assistance, and I'm still available for that. I don't know where the impression comes from that I can't be reached because I generally check everything that I get an email about, I just rely on people to bring things to my attention. If no one's involving me in anything, there's not much for me to do since the site has patrollers/mods/tech people who are able to take care of essential tasks without me and contributor who know more than I about recent games. Is there something people want me to do? I'm always on standby, but I'd need to know what people want of me to become involved.--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] ([[User talk:Vellidragon|talk]]) 00:10, 2 December 2019 (UTC)<br />
::::Alright then. If you still believe you will be available, then I can return you to active status. It would put us all at ease if you dropped on by the wiki every now and then to comment on things though, just so we know you are still interested in the community. I don't know if you are still opposed to using Discord, but that is also available for you to join. We have over 100 people there, and a lot of wiki discussion happens there too. --[[User:Fubaka|Fubaka]] ([[User talk:Fubaka|talk]]) 01:12, 2 December 2019 (UTC)<br />

== Regarding old file sources ==<br />
Greetings, Vellidragon. I'm contacting you because right now we are reformatting all the file pages, and we are unsure if the sprites and screenshots uploaded by you, Moydow, and other prominent pre-2015 members were self-captures or taken from another source. We want to make sure that as many of our files as possible are properly sourced, so if you could impart us with some knowledge on these old files, that would be most helpful. Thanks in advance. --[[User:Samwell|Samwell]] ([[User talk:Samwell|talk]]) 18:50, 6 December 2021 (UTC)<br />
:All my sprite and screenshot uploads are self-captured, if not stated otherwise (I don't actually think there are any that state otherwise, but it's been ages, so just in case).--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] ([[User talk:Vellidragon|talk]]) 22:07, 6 December 2021 (UTC)<br />

== Regarding the old WiKirby favicon ==<br />
Greetings. Just out of curiosity, do you happen to know who made the original WiKirby favicon ([[:File:Old WiKirby Favicon.png|this guy here]])? Mainly asking for historical purposes and to get it off the files lacking sources list. --[[User:Samwell|Samwell]] ([[User talk:Samwell|talk]]) 23:53, 18 December 2021 (UTC)<br />
:Hi, I don't know, sorry! The favicon was already in place when I found out about WiKirby, along with the original skin (the blue one). Maybe whoever made that skin would know?--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] ([[User talk:Vellidragon|talk]]) 00:32, 19 December 2021 (UTC)<br />

==About Skype==<br />
Hello, Velli! We've been trying to find the creator of the old WiKirby logo so we have a source for the image, but we can't find much of anything. The only thing we can think of at this point is if this was mentioned in the old Skype chat logs you guys were in in the past, and from what we can tell, you're one of the only people around who still might have access to that--if the place even still exists, of course. Would you mind taking a look in there sometime if possible?<br>Oh and, if you don't have time to search around, I would be willing to do so if you gave me access to the place. -- {{User:MetaDragon/sig}} 05:11, 21 January 2022 (UTC)<br />
:Hi, I don't know if I would be able to access the Skype room, but I'm pretty certain that chat history on Skype is only visible from the point that someone joins a room, so I wouldn't be able to see anything from before my time either way. Like I said, the icon was already in place when I found the site, so it wouldn't be in my logs. Sorry! :( --[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] ([[User talk:Vellidragon|talk]]) 05:28, 21 January 2022 (UTC)<br />
::Yeah, I've been spending a lot of time trying to find the creator of the original WiKirby logo, and it's a bit embarrassing that we don't know who it was anymore.

==Reporting a bug==<br />
I was going to but a new version of a image of [[Chip]], so I went to upload, then the templates were VERY squashed, and the text were so small, I had to see the keyboard just to get it right. Any solutions? --[[User:KirJoey|Joey]] 5:57 PM, 15 August 2010 (UTC)<br />
:Hm, it's messed up for me as well. This appears to be a technical issue with the Wiki code, so there's not much I can do about it. I reported the bug at the staff board, though, so someone with the capabilities of fiddling with the code will hopefully fix it in the near-ish future.--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 19:43, 15 August 2010 (CDT)<br />

== Main Page work ==<br />
<br />
Hello, I just added a Wanted Pages template to the Main Page, and was wanting you to have a look and see if any further adjustments are needed for your screen resolution. After I changed my res to the lowest setting I noticed a gap still exist at the bottom of the right margin, which could hold another small template. My normal res shows the right margin slightly longer than the left. My next move will be to try to change the Videos box to make it a little more consistent between the resolution settings. {{User:Axiomist/sig}} 08:44, 18 August 2010 (CDT)<br />
<br />
:Hm, looks fine to me. I see no real problems with it currently. There's [http://www.duckattack.de/gap.png a rather tall gap below the Wanted Pages box and to the left of the video one for me, though]; not sure if that's the gap you're talking about. As for the rest of the page, it looks fine to me atm, although the right golden wing image of the News box is below the "WiKirby News Box" text instead of to the right of it because it doesn't fit into the box otherwise; not quite sure what could be done about that, though.--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 13:12, 18 August 2010 (CDT)<br />

== New topic ==<br />

== Check User ==<br />
<br />
[[Special:CheckUser]] is the new tool you have access to. I've only used it twice or so when EmmaWatson spammed, and when Turboo asked to block a second account (which didn't show up). So I'm not so familiar with it to write up the UserRights page on it, but if all of those new accounts adding images and nothing else have matching IPs we might as well block them, if it turns out we blocked a legitimate user, they still have the NIWA forums to inform us on and the reversal is simple enough for them.{{User:Axiomist/sig}} 15:00, 4 October 2010 (CDT)<br />

Happy Birthday, according to the skype alert! Anyhow, I think my work week is returning to normal, which means I can finally get things done here. Thanks for holding down the fort with the recent deletions and all! {{User:Axiomist/sig}} 21:19, 14 November 2010 (CST)<br />
:Thank you :D The Skype alert is correct :p And that's good to hear. I do what I can to take care of stuff here, though that's not much with all the ''Kirby's Epic Yarn'' edits lately that I can't really patrol without actually having the game or any deeper knowledge about it :\ --[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 16:03, 15 November 2010 (CST)<br />

:The problem here wasn't so much the edit itself as the edit reason, actually, telling other people to also put two spaces after a period (especially with that statement coming from the head patroller); had to clear this up before more people started doing it :p --[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 12:05, 18 February 2011 (CST)<br />

==Maybe A New Kirby?==<br />
<br />
Well, since there's only Ireland, US, Ireland, and Germany. I might want a Ukraine one. Though I ain't Ukrainnian, I have Ukrainnian blood. Maybe do Ukraine Kirby? --[[User:KirJoey|Joey]] 4:49 PM, February 22, 2011 (EST)<br />
:Sure, I'll make one later today; the flag only has two colours, so it shouldn't take long :3 --[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 17:00, 22 February 2011 (CST)<br />
Last one, Polish Kirby. Simple. [[User:KirJoey|Joey]]<br />
:Eh, perhaps tomorrow :P I don't want to edit that page so often, so I'll put it on there when I have a couple other country Kirbies done (well, they are already done, actually, but not their userbox colour schemes :p).--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 15:08, 23 February 2011 (CST)<br />
::Done and even stranger looking than the rest. Apparently, the Polish flag's white is actually a light grey from the way the colours are officially defined.--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 15:42, 24 February 2011 (CST)<br />

== Axiomist ==<br />
<br />
hiya vellidragon..<br />
<br />
i'm sure you heard about the passing of Axiomist..which has hit me very hard emotionally, since i was very close to him. i always tried to prove myself to him yknow, so i could become an admin, and he always said it was a possibility, since it he needed more admins, which made me happy. i wanted to gain respect generally from a community, but now i just want to make sure i'm helping his wiki be the best it can be.<br />
<br />
since he's gone now..i dont have anyone to talk to from the wiki regularly, someone else to prove to. He asked me to design the WiKirby mascot, I dont know if you know about it, but if you think I'm making it up, I'm not.<br />
<br />
all I want is to make my big bro proud, so if you have skype or msn..please take the time to add me and get to know me..thanks..<br />
<br />
--[[User:HeathyChan|HeathyChan]] 12:58, 23 March 2011 (CDT)<br />
:Hallo. Yes, I know about it, and it hit me just as hard. I know exactly what you mean; I always felt pretty much the same, even though I'm already an admin. I know about the mascot thing, though I don't know what Ax's plans for that were, unfortunately; I'm not sure about a lot of his plans for the wiki, actually, though I for one will be doing my best to keep moving forward with it, hopefully with the continuing support of the rest of the remaining staff and the community. As for Skype and talking, there is a public WiKirby chat on Skype (also see [[WiKirby:Skype]], though that page is terribly outdated) that I could invite you to, though I would need to know your username on there.--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 13:24, 23 March 2011 (CDT)<br />
<br />
::hey, yeah, my skype name is robburrowlover, and thankyou so much for acknowledging my grieving, I think Ax couldve told me a few plans, but i'm not sure, he and I discussed the appearence of the mascot and stuff. Its all we talked about..oh the good old days..--[[User:HeathyChan|HeathyChan]] 13:46, 23 March 2011 (CDT)<br />

== Long Time, No See==<br />
<br />
So...yesh. I'm back and I CAN'T wait for the Kirby Wii to come out. :D<br />
<br />
So, I wonder if you can make a Brazilian-American Kirby? I'm really Brazilian American, and I know it could take some time, but it would be worth it since I am gonna really put it on my homepage. --[[User:KirJoey|Joey]]<br />
:Welcome back! I can wait, as I likely will hardly get to play it, like with ''Epic Yarn'', and all it means is that even more things have to be covered when we're not even nearly done covering the games that already exist ;_; *kicks a stub in frustration*<br/>As for that Kirby, I have no idea how that would look. Just a country Kirby with half of the Brazilian and half of the U.S. flag? Please specify.--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 18:19, 18 July 2011 (CDT)<br />
<br />
Yes, Half of Brazil on one side, US on the other side. Doesn't matter which side is which. --[[User:KirJoey|Joey]]<br />
:Ok, here it is: [http://www.duckattack.de/BR-USKirby.png clicky!] Just fused the already existing U.S. one with the Brazil one, but with a nicer transition. Looks kinda odd, but meh :\ U.S. flag is on the left so the stars are visible. Wasn't sure if you wanted it on WiKirby as well or just on your homepage. If you need it here, feel free to upload it. Please let me know when you've uploaded this anywhere though so I can delete it from my own webspace.--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 19:02, 18 July 2011 (CDT)<br />
<br />
Can you put it in like a template like you do with the other Kirbies? [[User:KirJoey|Joey]]<br />
:You can easily do that yourself by copying the code of an existing userbox and changing it accordingly; that's why the userboxes aren't hardcoded in the first place. You probably know better than I what colours you want, etc.--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 11:21, 19 July 2011 (CDT)<br />

== Help Me! ==<br />
<br />
Hey, uh... how are you supposed to "rank up" or whatever? I mean, I've been contributing a LOT lately, and it's not really doing anything. :-{ --[[User:Catulaster|Catulaster]] 16:07, 4 August 2011 (CDT)<br />
:It doesn't happen automatically and it has nothing to do with your amount of contributions. Users may be promoted (i.e. made part of the staff) by a bureaucrat (i.e. me) if the staff (i.e. me :\ Everyone else left or isn't particularly active) considers them worthy of a promotion; making very good edits and showing understanding of the site's standards and the general internal workings of a wiki are a requirement for that. There is no "ranking up" system; I guess the wording on the help page for this is rather confusing, which I apologise for; I believe our help pages were initially taken from a different wiki and not all of them are flawless. Anyway, I'm not yet seeing the "understanding of the site's standards" very much in your edits, but I'll be watching your contributions and if they improve, you may eventually be promoted :3 --[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 16:19, 4 August 2011 (CDT)<br/>EDIT: The guidelines in the help are partially outdated, as far as I'm aware, so you may want to look at how things are usually done and figure out standards from that; in particular, check out some articles I made and the featured ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 2]]'' page to get an idea of style and such. I'm really sorry our help pages aren't as helpful as they should be and will be working on them when I get around to do so :\ --[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 16:23, 4 August 2011 (CDT)<br />
<br />
== Contractions ==<br />
Hey. Sorry if it seems like I'm taling too much, but sorry for my abundance of contractions. It's just in my blood (I guess) to use contractions while writing. Is there any way for me to delete said contractions without deleting EVERYTHING ELSE that I've edited?! --[[User:Catulaster|Catulaster]] 10:53, 5 August 2011 (CDT)<br />
:No need to be sorry as long as you try not to use them in articles anymore :3 As for getting rid of them, unless you inserted them in a seperate edit, the only way (as far as I'm aware) to revert them without undoing other things is to do so manually for each contraction (in a new edit, as opposed to using "undo" on the old one). Ctrl+F may help you find them more easily, though (when I was "uncontracting" some contractions yesterday, I searched for ' (apostrophe) and cycled through the results; this of course finds the bold & italics code and the genitive 's as well, though, both of which should of course remain intact).--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 14:01, 5 August 2011 (CDT)<br />
<br />
== Who Knew? ==<br />
<br />
Wow. I had no idea the universe would hate me for providing a resource for Kirby artwork on a Kirby Wiki. Apparently I had done everything wrong-the images I uploaded were the wrong file type, they weren't transparent, and everyone on the wiki already knew about the site (although little to no anime artwork was uploaded). I've always disliked Wikipedia, Mario Wiki and others because of how the wiki "government" controls every page, complains about every user when "This is a free encyclopedia that anyone can edit," and undoes most edits. I have no doubt you will respond to me with hate, remove my comment from your discussion page, and possibly even ban me. Once I AM killed-I mean, you remove me from the wiki, I hope you can take time out of your busy schedule of "patrolling" to put the artwork in photoshop and remove the horrible white background that ruins the entire image. --[[User:TripleD|Triple D is awesome]] 13:47, 7 August 2011 (CDT)<br />
:Uploading images in the right format and with transparency right away, especially seeing how it's a wiki-wide standard, shouldn't really be asking too much. I don't quite understand your problem here; apparently, you are asking me to let everyone do what they want without following rules or standards? It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what an unorganised mess that would result in. Insulting me for enforcing standards in order to prevent Wikirby from becoming a mess really wasn't necessary. WiKirby, like other wikis, is indeed a "free encyclopedia that anyone can edit", but that doesn't mean that you ''should'' edit it if you're not planning to cooperate and actually enhance the site by following existing standards (not to mention you are agreeing that other people may change your contributions by submitting them, as is quite clearly explained at the bottom, so don't complain about your edits being undone. If you want to do whatever you like without running the risk of adjustments being made, maybe a wiki is not the place to go (and if you are going to insult people and throw false accusations around every time you receive critique, it definitely is not the place to go)). Thank you for your concerns about my schedule, but be informed that it mostly consists of having a life rather than "patrolling", so I would still be grateful if you did not unnecessarily take away my time. I am afraid I'm not going to ban you, but I will have to warn you to stop your aggressive behaviour.--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 14:38, 7 August 2011 (CDT)<br />

I have a rare medical condition (which I'll keep unnamed for privacy purposes) that can result in low blood pressure and crankiness, among other things.

:It's alright :3 Sorry if I seemed harsh above, I had no knowledge of your condition and was just doing my job in telling you to stop. But yeah, you should probably stay away from user talks at those times :\--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 18:05, 7 August 2011 (CDT)<br />
Yes, I did upload the artwork in PNG and transparent, check out the page [[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!|here]]. :3 I'm also uploading the artwork for Whispy, Ice Dragon, Rick, and some of the villagers today. --[[User:TripleD|Triple D is awesome]] 09:35, 9 August 2011 (CDT)<br />
:Yeah, I saw that you've been uploading transparent ones.

== Curiosity about upload error==<br />
<br />
While I was uploading the images for the Kirby Super Star Ultra table, it wouldn't allow me to name a a sprite of bandana waddle dee "File: BandanaSSU.png". I got this:<br />
'''You do not have permission to do that, for the following reason:<br />
The title "File:BandanaSSU.png" has been banned from creation. It matches the following blacklist entry: .*[Aa4][Ss5][Ss5].*<br />
'''<br />
For my own curiosity, why was this title banned? --[[User:TripleD|Triple D is awesome]] 08:20, 19 August 2011 (CDT)<br />
:The word was banned because it's a swear word. I whitelisted a large number of innocent words including it, but didn't think of the possibility that anyone may want to put "SSU" after an "a". I'm going to try and whitelist it.--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 09:24, 19 August 2011 (CDT)<br/>EDIT: Done, should work as it should in the future. :3 --[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 09:30, 19 August 2011 (CDT)<br />

== Add to help ==<br />
<br />
Sorry about embedding an illegal video, won't happen again. Out of curiosity and for my own personal gain as an editor, I looked over all possibly relevant sections of Wikirby's help and found nothing against illegal videos or linking to them. While I agree this should be a defined rule, we should add it to <nowiki>"help"</nowiki> so other users don't make the same mistake. I did find a Help:Youtube on Mario Wiki, which could be used as a reference for this but Wikirby will obviously have different standards. -[[User:TripleD|Triple D is awesome]] 12:23, 25 August 2011 (CDT)<br />
:That's odd, I could have sworn we had stated this somewhere, but I can't find anything clear either :\ '''WiKirby:User Accounts''' does state linking to questionable content as a potential banning reason, though, which I presume anything illegal would fall under; should perhaps make that more obvious. The thing to realise here is that it's not WiKirby-specific, though, it's downright illegal (to my knowledge), so it should not be necessary to explicitly mention it here, as WiKirby is not exempt from the law; then again, it certainly won't ''hurt'' to mention it, necessary or not, so I'll look into that some time.--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 13:37, 25 August 2011 (CDT)<br />
::An update on this! I was in fact not mistaken when I thought that we mentioned this in the help. This sentence is in the Quality Standards:<br/>''Do not put up links to online Manga translations, fansubs of Japanese retail videos, TV show episodes, or game ROM downloads.''<br/>That should cover it nicely.--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 10:09, 27 August 2011 (CDT)<br />

== Uploading Assistance ==<br />
<br />
I know it's kinda stupid for me to ask this, (mind you, I'm still a beginning editor) but how am I able to link a video to an article? (Sorry if you don't understand what I'm talking about) --[[User:Catulaster|CatuLaster]] 18:49, 26 August 2011 (CDT)<br />
:If you mean how to embed a YouTube video, use [[:Template:Youtube]]; instructions are in the template documentation. Remember not to embed anything of questionable legality, though, like free anime episodes.--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 09:27, 27 August 2011 (CDT)<br />

== Sorry, Sorry, And Sorry Again ==<br />
<br />
I'm very sorry about [[User talk:Catulaster|that]] :( I didn't know deleting those would make me seem like I'm ignorant, or whatever. But, I have one thing to ask: When you redirect an article, the redirect takes you to a page with a normal link on it (i.e. [[Top Ride]]). However, other pages (i.e. [[Turn]]) take you immediately to another page. My question: how do you do that? --[[User:Catulaster|CatuLaster]] 11:14, 28 August 2011 (CDT)<br />
:It's ok. And you make automatic redirects by not putting anything else than the redirect itself on the page; the Top Ride thing had wikicode for italics around the link, breaking it. The redirect page must only consist of "<nowiki>#REDIRECT[[target]]</nowiki>", no wikicode or anything.--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 11:58, 28 August 2011 (CDT)<br />

:That's alright :3 There's no need to apologise, I'm just doing my job when I'm writing warnings or reminders. On an unrelated note, as I'm talking to you anyway, the Waddle Doo and Dee images on your user page appear to be fan art; if they are, please mark them as personal images as per '''Help:Personal Images''' and ensure you have usage permission by the creator if you want to keep them.--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 14:36, 14 September 2011 (CDT)<br />

==Pictures==<br />
Hello Vellidragon. I'm one of the caretakers of Wikia's Kirby wiki, but that's not important. I just wanted you to know that the transparent pngs on the [[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]] article are taken from there.<br />
<br />
Gamefreak (one of the older admins) loaded up high-res jpegs and and asked me to clean them up, and I spent several hours doing so via filters and background removal tools personally (using Corel Paint Shop Pro X3). Several of those pictures I uploaded myself separately and they are not found anywhere else on the internet - the transparent Lor Starcutter pic or the group character picture straight from the PAL / Japan box art front for example - I had to decompile Nintendo's original Flash files using a specific decompiler tool (Trillix) and recompose them. These processes modify the images in a specific way - removal of artifacts modify individual pixels depending on specific filter settings, and pixel-perfect recomposition of the images from separate Flash "sprite" data using Trillix means sometimes the final image attains a faint grey edge, and the images are extracted at Nintendo's original resolution. I checked the images for duplicity by sampling pixels and they have 100% matching, so there's no doubt about the primary image source.<br />
<br />
With all due respect, I'm not asking for the images to removed unless that's how things are run - since none of us own those images and Nintendo holds the copyright, but according to Wikirby's '''inter-wiki policy''' I think [[User:Yarnkirby|Yarnkirby]] should have attributed the source of the image to the wiki at least when he/she uploaded them. I'm aware of the possibility that some third-party site might have taken the images as-is from Wikia, and Yarnkirby might have taken the pictures from there, so I really don't know.<br />
<br />
On the flipside, if you happen to discover any pictures or any content for that matter on Wikia taken straight from Wikirby, please do tell me and I'll confirm the source with the editor and remove it if it's ripped straight from another wiki or Kirbypedia / KRR.<br />
<br />
Cheers,<br />
[[User:Changtau2005|Changtau2005]] 14:27, 25 October 2011 (CDT)<br />
:I had been wondering where those images came from, actually. Let it be known that this wasn't approved by me, nor was I aware of it. I thank you for informing me and will leave the uploader a message as soon as I can. You stated you're not requesting their deletion, but I can still delete them if you change your mind; I'm not particularly attached to them and they're all just in a random gallery at the moment, so this wouldn't be too problematic. I would like to avoid hostilities, so please do tell me if anyone over there wants them gone and I'll make it happen. What I will do in any case, as soon as I have the time, is properly attribute them. Thanks again for informing me of this, and do let me know if anyone steals images from your wiki again.--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 14:40, 25 October 2011 (CDT)<br />
<br />
::Ah, no problem, and, whether they're deleted or not is really up to the decisions of Wikirby's admin team =) I just wanted to be clear that having them removed is not the intention of the message. For the record, I don't know where Gamefreak got the original jpgs from, and they don't look like scanned media.

:::Alright, I've notified the uploader and started attributing the images. If nobody is requesting their deletion, I currently don't see a reason to delete them, though it would certainly be nicer to display what is actually our own work here (we don't currently have an "admin team", btw, I'm really the only one :p). What I'm wondering about, though, is whether [[:File:KRtDL Kirby Dash Artwork.png|File:PuffballRtDL.png]] was also stolen, as it wasn't uploaded by Yarnkirby and we do have at least one other transparent image in the gallery evidently not from the Wikia (namely [[:File:Kirby KRtDL.png]]). The PuffballRtDL image does resemble yours, but it appears to be a different file size (unless the displayed size on either wiki is off), so I'm not sure.--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 13:34, 26 October 2011 (CDT)<br />
<br />
::::Those two you mentioned are good; there aren't any duplicates on Wikia of current / previous uploads that I'm aware of. It's curious that KirbyKRtDL.png shares the same 3k by 3k resolution but I think it's purely coincidence. The one on Wikia is full-color depth and has less effective resolution than the version on Wikirby, which I think might be a png conversion from a 256-color gif file with dithering. They're definitely not the same files. [[User:Changtau2005|Changtau2005]] 20:02, 26 October 2011 (CDT)<br />

== Plagiarism ==<br />
<br />
Aside from the trivia, I think the Galacta Knight is okay, and the True Arena article looks okay, too. The story section from Kirby's Return to Dream Land was taken from the Wikia's Magolor article. I took out the boss list, since it was probably copied, but for that content there isn't really any other organization method. <br />
<br />
It looks like Keeby got the images from the Kirby Wikia, also, except for Keeby2.png. <span style="text-shadow:0px 0px 3px rgba(70,130,180,.8)">'''''[[User:Sky|<font color="#4682B4">-Sky</font>]] <small>[[User talk:Sky|<font color="#4682B4">(talk)</font>]]</small>'''''</span> 22:42, 3 November 2011 (CDT)<br />

::Ah, thanks for reminding me of the images. Didn't have much time lately, but I'll delete them now. I'll delete the Keeby one as well as it's fan art and, last time I checked, not marked as personal or used anywhere. (On an unrelated note, are you the same Sky as the Nookipedia lead editor? We have this ambassador user group which I believe is for non-WiKirby NIWA staff, though it hasn't been used much.

::Sorry to interrupt, but no, the four images you listed, Vellidragon, were not stolen from the wikia site. However, I think the '''File:Magolors_soul.png''' may have been on the site, but it's long gone now. Hope this clears things up. {{User|Gamefreak75}}<br />
:::Thank you very much; I had been meaning to contact you on this, but I guess that's not necessary anymore :3 I suppose if they're not from the wikia, they can remain on here for now unless they turn out to be stolen from some other place. They will eventually have to be replaced anyway, as they're very low quality, so it's just a temporary thing in any case.

== I Blame Gordo... ==<br />
<br />
[[Gordo|...for the "Appearance" sections]]. =P<br />
<br />
Anyway, I found the article formatting guide, and they way it's set up, a lot of articles (like the enemies) don't have any headings for the main content, which makes them look unappealing (in my opinion). For example, the [[Batty]] article has enough information to fill a decent-sized article section, but all of it is put into what I would consider an introduction section.<br><br />
Is there any other format to use for those types of articles that would give them some more organization? <span style="text-shadow:0px 0px 3px rgba(70,130,180,.8)">'''''[[User:Sky|<font color="#4682B4">-Sky</font>]] <small>[[User talk:Sky|<font color="#4682B4">(talk)</font>]]</small>'''''</span> 12:58, 13 November 2011 (CST)<br />
:Yeah, some articles still have appearance sections; this is mainly as I keep planning to rewrite stuff completely and remove those while I'm at it, but I'm rarely finding the time for that. I went by what most articles (well, newer ones; the Gordo article, among some others, is still from the wiki's beginning stages, as far as I'm aware) already looked like when I wrote the formatting guide to properly be able to enforce some consistency in the future as well, and I don't believe short-ish articles need any more organisation (and I like how they look, myself, though 1024x768 resolution may make them look better). They're organised just as well as the longer ones, except the latter are divided into games, which can't be done when there's only one game to deal with, and interspersing the paragraphs with section headings just for the sake of having section headings isn't going to improve them. Ax said long ago when the topic was brought up that headings should only be used when there's a need to divide information, and I honestly don't see a need for such a division in articles with 2-3 paragraphs and only a single game appearance; besides, enforcing such a format on single-game articles makes no sense without also using the same format in the game sub-sections of multiple-game articles, which will just become cluttered then. Making articles using the current formatting standards actually earned me my staff position to begin with, so I figure that's the way Ax wanted them to look and I currently have no plans to change that (not only in honour of his memory but also because I see no necessity).--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 13:22, 13 November 2011 (CST)<br />

Hey, Vellidragon. I was wondering what I should write for the Top Ride course (Light, Metal, Grass, etc.) articles. I'm pretty sure that if I put the basic information and all that general stuff, the articles'll be ''way'' to short. If you could just assist me a little, that'd be greatish. --[[User:Catulaster|Catulaster]] 10:05, 10 December 2011 (CST)<br />
:Gladly would, but as I believe I have stated before, I have never played ''[[Kirby Air Ride]]'' and know practically nothing about it, so I won't be able to help with ''Air Ride'' coverage, sorry :\ I neither have the money nor the time (anymore) to actually buy and play all these games, so there'll always be a couple whose coverage I won't be able to help on (or properly monitor).

== Image Transparencies ==<br />
<br />
Hello, I just uploaded (and reverted my upload) of a KRtDL Ice Kirby file because I see a white background, so I opened it up in GIMP and removed the white into transparency, then uploaded, and the problem was still there, despite the fact that if I load it in GIMP, it shows as transparent? I'm kind of inexperienced in these matters, so may you offer some help? Thanks :) [[User:T.c.w7468|T.c.w7468]] 21:17, 28 December 2011 (CST)<br />
:You likely didn't do a clean refresh in your browser and it was loading the older, cached version of the image. I don't know what browser you are using, but in Firefox, holding Ctrl and hitting F5 will perform a clean refresh. I can confirm your transparent image was working fine and looking good, so feel free to revert back to that :3 It was just a browser cache-related issue.--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 21:22, 28 December 2011 (CST)<br />

::Hope I understood this right... If you mean uploading a new version of an image that's a different format than the currently uploaded one, I don't believe that works. If your new version is a different format, just upload it as a new file rather than a new version of the existing one and manually adjust the filename where the image is used (or if it's used in many articles, let me know and I can text replace them).

::Did you read my edit summary? It's the point value that's awarded when ANY projectile destroys an enemy; there is NO difference between puffing air or spitting a star at them. I just checked the game again to confirm this, and can also confirm that the same amount of points is also rewarded if Kirby simply bumps into the enemy (presumably, using a bomb or microphone also awards this amount). Therefore, it is reasonable to treat this (more commonly awarded) amount of points as the base value and consider the points awarded for inhaling the enemy the exception, as inhaling an enemy is the only case in which the player receives a different amount of points.--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 16:25, 15 June 2012 (CDT)<br />

==Ado/Adeleine Verdict==<br />
A couple months back, there was an encyclopedia of Kirby's history for his 20th anniversary released only in Japan. One of sections cracks the code of Ado's gender and relationship to Adeleine. Rough translation: "Ado and Adeleine are '''girls''' who came to Pop Star to study art. They are almost identical to each other in appearance and fighting style. Although there is much debate whether they are the same person, '''it is probable that they are one and the same, Ado is her nickname and Adeleine is her birth name'''." [[User:Technickal]]<br />
:Nice find! I suppose we can refer to Ado as female now with the relevant portion as a reference (it would be great if the original Japanese could be cited, not just a translation, so it can be verified that it wasn't distorted through mistranslation). As for identity, if even the encyclopaedia doesn't 100% confirm that they are the same ("probable"), I think we should keep them seperate, but definitely point this out (again with this source; original Japanese would be even more important to have here).--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 11:22, 21 June 2013 (CDT)<br />

== Main Page update? ==<br />
<br />
Hey, Vellidragon! I'm new-ish around here---I created my account almost 2 years ago but only decided to become active last week---and I've been doing things (mostly of the organizational variety) to tidy up a bit over the past few days. One thing that's been bugging me, however, is the main page. It's...pretty outdated! There's a message celebrating the 2nd anniversary of the wiki...over 2 years ago, and the new/upcoming games box makes no mention of Triple Deluxe! I realise that WiKirby's not the most...active wiki, to say the least, but maybe if the main page were up to date, it would become at least a little more active. (...Maybe?)<br />
<br />
<br />
I'd do something about it myself, but I obviously don't have the proper permissions. You appear to be the only semi-active admin around these parts, so I guess it's up to you! So, uh...in summary, it'd be great if you would wipe some of that metaphorical dust of the main page. Thanks! :) --[[User:EzloSpirit|<span style="font-family:courier; color:#5ca028;">EzloSpirit</span>]] <sup><span style="font-family:courier;">([[User talk:EzloSpirit|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/EzloSpirit|contribs]])</span><sup> 06:19, 15 May 2014 (UTC)<br />
:You are so right! Sorry for not getting back to you earlier. There are so many outdated things here especially since tech people keep screwing up the server and having to restore from age-old backups and I'm lacking the time (and by now motivation thanks to the repeated sever screw-ups) to work on them. :( I don't have much hope left for the site after all the times the server went down and/or the account database got nuked, usually with little to no explanation from the tech people responsible. I lost tons of contributions here myself. Things like that and being occupied with more important things just killed my enthusiasm for the site, which I'm sorry for, but I don't see it coming back right now.<br />
<br />
:So, I currently have no idea when or if I will feel up to the task of cleaning things up. :( I'm not sure if anyone would care by now either way, the continuous tech-side failures probably drove people away.

== Edit request ==<br />
Hi Velli. Can the [[MediaWiki:Sitenotice|site notice]] be removed now? I feel that it is an issue that has passed, and every affected website is back up. If not, can you make a minor edit and uncapitalize why in "For more information on Why", please? Thanks in advance. --[[User:Chickasaurus|Chickasaurus]] ([[User talk:Chickasaurus|talk]]) 22:26, 20 June 2014 (UTC)<br />
:Okay, it's gone. A tech person put it up and apparently never took it down...--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] ([[User talk:Vellidragon|talk]]) 22:33, 20 June 2014 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== I have a question. ==<br />
<br />
I'm not sure why, but I had to re-create my account. Would you please tell my why? I'm the same Mario from a year or so ago, by the way. [[User:Mario|Mario]] ([[User talk:Mario|talk]]) 18:51, 23 June 2014 (UTC)<br />
:Because tech people keep losing or messing up the database and then never put an explanation on the site despite telling me they would. :\ --[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] ([[User talk:Vellidragon|talk]]) 19:39, 23 June 2014 (UTC)<br />
::Also, may you remove the brackets from [[MediaWiki:Mainpage]]? They mess up the link. [[User:Mario|Mario]] ([[User talk:Mario|talk]]) 19:09, 25 June 2014 (UTC)<br />
:::Moydow fixed it; I had never seen that page before and had no idea what it even did! Nice catch, thanks.--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] ([[User talk:Vellidragon|talk]]) 21:05, 25 June 2014 (UTC)<br />

== There's a vandal here! :( ==<br />
<br />
I noticed that the page [[Ado]] got vandalized by [[Special:Contributions/I_AM_KIRBYS_NUMBER_1_FAN_YAY_YAYAYAYAYYAYAYAYAYYAAYYAYAYAYYAAYAYAYAYYAY|this user]] so I registered to revert that back to the previous version. It turns out that user has also vandalized other pages and has created ones for non-existing things such as '''Kirby & the Bathroom Mirror''', '''Red Reds''' and '''Mario Air Ride'''. Can you block them and delete those nonsense pages they've made please? I'm currently trying to revert the mess they've made on the other pages.<br />
--[[User:Herobrine|Herobrine]] ([[User talk:Herobrine|talk]]) 10:44, 27 June 2014 (UTC)<br />
:Hey, thanks so much for helping out with this! :3 They're blocked and I deleted their pages. I checked their contributions and they all seem to have been reverted. Thanks again! --[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] ([[User talk:Vellidragon|talk]]) 16:51, 27 June 2014 (UTC)<br />

How do I get renamed? --[[User:MetaKnight4ever|MetaKnight4ever]] ([[User talk:MetaKnight4ever|talk]]) 22:52, 29 August 2014 (UTC)<br />

<br />
== Vandal ==<br />
<br />
Um, a [[Special:Contributions/Kirby_is_oseme|user]] has been vandalizing a few pages. I've already undone the vandalism, but I guess I should still let you know.

:Thanks for letting me know and helping with this! Signing up just to vandalise is an instant block in my book, so that's been taken care of.

== Redirect Vandal ==<br />
<br />
A user going by a number of names, including [[User:Willy on Wheels|Willy on Wheels]] and [[User:Wíkirby is communism|Wíkirby is communism]] has been vandalizing pages by redirecting them with alternate titles.

== [[User:Zombienom|Zombienom]] and Nonsensical Pages ==<br />
<br />
This user, who signed up on the 2nd of January, has created a great number of pages that frankly do not belong on WiKirby. This user also seems to be taking on the guise of a 7 year old kid, but uses profane language in certain areas. This might be another returning vandal.~ --[[User:Fubaka|Fubaka]] ([[User talk:Fubaka|talk]]) 19:56, 4 January 2016 (UTC)<br />
:Whoops, I'm not sure how I missed this! I do apologise. Looks pretty awful from here. I'll clean up the mess when the server stops being so slow, I honestly can barely do anything on the site right now. The user seems to have left already, so I'm not sure if I'll need to block them anymore. They're probably a young child.--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] ([[User talk:Vellidragon|talk]]) 07:16, 20 February 2016 (UTC)<br />

== Spam notice ==<br />
<br />
Hello, you told me that a notice here would be more likely to be seen than Skype, so I would like to call to attention [[Special:Contributions/Judvt|this spammer]] and his pages, which are obvious spam. I'll blank the spam pages with delete tags for now. <span style="font-family:Sylfaen">[[User:T.c.w7468|{{color|#008|'''T.c.w'''}}]][[User talk:T.c.w7468|{{color|#800|'''74'''}}]][[Special:Contributions/T.c.w7468|{{color|#080|'''68'''}}]]</span> 15:13, 18 February 2016 (UTC)<br />
:Ahh, was that the one you left a message on Skype for? I didn't get to it when I saw it there (and I'm rarely on skype) and then I forgot about it, thank you for leaving a message here.

It closed down late last month on the whims of its founder, who became tired of operating it. The link now leads to no website.<br />

:Thanks for letting me know - it's been literally years since I personally updated these things, so I hope it's all looking as it should (apart from the lack of a countdown, which presumably stopped working in some past MediaWiki upgrade - I'll be bringing that up to the tech folks). By the way, [[Template:Lineup]] and [[Template:News]] (which are displayed on the main page) are not protected, so anyone can add information like this to them.--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] ([[User talk:Vellidragon|talk]]) 22:54, 8 March 2016 (UTC)<br />

:Hallo Kirbylover! Welcome to the site. :) I haven't been able to actively keep up with the wiki in a while (except for stepping in with admin powers where requested), but generally, we can always use help in making our coverage of the ''Kirby'' franchise more complete by filling in missing information or creating articles about subjects we should cover but don't yet. Check out our [[Help:Contents|Help & Policy section]] if you need help with editing, or try things out in the [[WiKirby:Sandbox|Sandbox]].<br/><br/>If you're not sure which areas need help, [[:Category:Stubs|here is our category for incomplete articles]] (so-called "stubs"), and [[Special:WantedPages|here is our list of red links]] (articles that are being linked to but haven't been started yet).

:Looks fine to me. What was the problem? There seem to be two of the same image file, though ('''File:Cook Kirby Brawl.PNG''' and '''File:Cook Kirby.PNG'''). Since both of them are unused right now, which one would you rather like to remain on the wiki (so I can delete the other)? They are identical.--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] ([[User talk:Vellidragon|talk]]) 21:09, 25 October 2016 (UTC)<br />

:::::Looks fine to me. Pictures in articles generally should have a caption, though. Something like <code>Kirby's Final Smash in ''Super Smash Bros.

== A Discord for WiKirby? ==<br />

::Hmm, I actually never received an email about this - sorry about that. There is/was a Skype group for WiKirby, but I think that's it. I don't use Discord, but others do, so something can probably be set up.

:Thanks, taken care of (I de-linkified the link above so it's not a red link).<br />

:Hmm, I don't know, really. I don't remember if we did anything for 1000 articles.

== Remove the Main Page's title? ==<br />
[[User:Raltseye|Raltseye]] and I are thinking of removing the title 'Kirby Wiki' at the top of the main page, as many other wikis do that as standard practice. Would this be fine by you? --[[User:Fubaka|Fubaka]] ([[User talk:Fubaka|talk]]) 20:55, 10 March 2018 (UTC)<br />
:I think it's titled that way to help us show up in searches for a "Kirby Wiki", since the site name doesn't include it.

::Hmm, at the same time, when I do a search for 'Kirby Wiki' on Google, the page title isn't what's highlighted when we get to WiKirby. Instead, it highlights "a '''Kirby Wiki''' encyclopedia that anyone can edit". That wouldn't go away if we hid the title. --[[User:Fubaka|Fubaka]] ([[User talk:Fubaka|talk]]) 23:22, 10 March 2018 (UTC)<br />
:::I'm not finding anything for or against the idea, so I don't think page titles are taken into consideration for SEOs. (semi-releated: [https://searchengineland.com/nine-best-practices-for-optimized-title-tags-111979]). <br />
:::It is important to have a <code><title></title></code> tag, which is handled by the software. But that is "WiKirby" for the main page and not "Kirby Wiki". <br />
:::The main page might be hard coded to ignore it entirely. For comparison, see [[Wing]]'s title as <code><title>Wing - WiKirby</title></code> and this pages title as <code><title>User talk:Vellidragon - WiKirby</title></code>.<br />

I've deleted most of them, I'm not sure what happened with The Sean1596 and if we'll need that image again and "GenoKirby.png" doesn't seem to exist. I'm keeping CDToSBox.jpg for now since it was part of an archived April Fools page which still has it in the code (but commented out along with the infobox so the page doesn't get categorised). May need to put the infobox back without a template eventually if people want to see it, but it's not very important.

== Independent translation portal request ==<br />
<br />
This is Falco. Some fan translators are opening an independent WordPress called Popstar Press. It's basically a portal for publishing various fan translations of the Kirby series.<br />
<br />
They want to add some affiliated blogs in their external links, and ask if they can put Wikirby as one. It can help boost our data.<br />

== New MonoBook Skin ==<br />
<br />
There's a new monobook skin on the wiki that I designed you're interested in checking it. Personally I'd prefer it as the default skin (WiKirby Classic being a secondary via Special:Preferences).

== Inactive notice ==<br />
Greetings, Velli. I don't know if you will receive this message, but I feel obligated to send it out anyway. Given that your last action on the wiki was on the 4th of June, I suspect you are well and truly done with WiKirby. As such, it is my intention to move you formally into the inactive staff category. Keep in mind that at any time, even after this change is enacted, you will be allowed to return to your rank(s) as they are defined at the time of this writing if you wish it so. If I receive no word back from you on this page, you will be moved to former staff on January 1st, 2020.<br />
<br />
I suspect that, based on how things have gone, this will be my last message to you. I don't know why you chose to leave, but I hope you are doing well. I have WiKirby well in hand at this point, and it is my intention to continue to watch over it, and help guide it on its continued growth and success. Based on the current level of activity, we should be well on our way to filling in the remaining gaps in the wiki's knowledge base by the end of next year, and a 4000 article milestone should not be unreasonable to meet by then as well. To be honest with you, I had always wanted to become something akin to the Editor-in-Chief here, but I had hoped it would have been with your assent, rather than your absence.<br />
<br />
At any rate, I have spoken for long enough. To reiterate, I will move you to inactive staff on January 1st, 2020 unless you want to return to WiKirby, or you wish me to move you sooner. I will keep watch for a response until then. Best wishes. --[[User:Fubaka|Fubaka]] ([[User talk:Fubaka|talk]]) 14:43, 1 December 2019 (UTC)<br />

:Hi, I never left, I just assume everything is fine if I'm not getting notifications from my talk page. That said, I got no email from this message and I don't know what's up with that. Is there anything else I haven't addressed?--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] ([[User talk:Vellidragon|talk]]) 19:37, 1 December 2019 (UTC)<br />
::Then I assume you're aware of every major thing that's happened on the wiki since we last spoke? Tacopill initially gave me the impression that we called for a new Editor-in-Chief election because he couldn't reach you. That said, I'm not surprised you didn't get an email notification for the last set of messages on your talk page, since the mechanism responsible for sending those has been broken for a while. Hopefully that is something we will have fixed next year.<br />
<br />
::That said, even if you have been here this whole time, you haven't been active at all, and the rest of us had truly believed you were gone. As such, it still may be appropriate for you to move to former staff until such a time that you want to be involved with the wiki again. As I said, I have the wiki well-in-hand at this point, so it's not necessary for you to continue keeping watch if you don't want to. Let me know what you would like in that regard. --[[User:Fubaka|Fubaka]] ([[User talk:Fubaka|talk]]) 20:51, 1 December 2019 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::I believe the purpose of the activity status is to let people know who they can contact if they need staff assistance, and I'm still available for that. I don't know where the impression comes from that I can't be reached because I generally check everything that I get an email about, I just rely on people to bring things to my attention. If no one's involving me in anything, there's not much for me to do since the site has patrollers/mods/tech people who are able to take care of essential tasks without me and contributor who know more than I about recent games. Is there something people want me to do? I'm always on standby, but I'd need to know what people want of me to become involved.--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] ([[User talk:Vellidragon|talk]]) 00:10, 2 December 2019 (UTC)<br />
::::Alright then. If you still believe you will be available, then I can return you to active status. It would put us all at ease if you dropped on by the wiki every now and then to comment on things though, just so we know you are still interested in the community. I don't know if you are still opposed to using Discord, but that is also available for you to join. We have over 100 people there, and a lot of wiki discussion happens there too. --[[User:Fubaka|Fubaka]] ([[User talk:Fubaka|talk]]) 01:12, 2 December 2019 (UTC)<br />

== Regarding old file sources ==<br />
Greetings, Vellidragon. I'm contacting you because right now we are reformatting all the file pages, and we are unsure if the sprites and screenshots uploaded by you, Moydow, and other prominent pre-2015 members were self-captures or taken from another source.

Thanks in advance. --[[User:Samwell|Samwell]] ([[User talk:Samwell|talk]]) 18:50, 6 December 2021 (UTC)<br />

==About Skype==<br />
Hello, Velli! We've been trying to find the creator of the old WiKirby logo so we have a source for the image, but we can't find much of anything. The only thing we can think of at this point is if this was mentioned in the old Skype chat logs you guys were in in the past, and from what we can tell, you're one of the only people around who still might have access to that--if the place even still exists, of course. Would you mind taking a look in there sometime if possible?<br>Oh and, if you don't have time to search around, I would be willing to do so if you gave me access to the place. -- {{User:MetaDragon/sig}} 05:11, 21 January 2022 (UTC)<br />
:Hi, I don't know if I would be able to access the Skype room, but I'm pretty certain that chat history on Skype is only visible from the point that someone joins a room, so I wouldn't be able to see anything from before my time either way.

==Solidifying character names and attributes in article writing (January 29th, 2023 - February 12th, 2023)==<br />
So, I've noticed recently that there's been some edits made to character and enemy pages in regards to gender pronouns. In particular, there was a push on the [[Kracko]] and [[Dyna Blade]] pages to refer to them by different genders based on which game was being discussed (since genders are not always consistent in in-game flavor text). I find this to be highly inappropriate for any characters that have been established as individuals (unlike, say, [[Broom Hatter]], which refers more to a class of characters rather than a single entity). This incident has brought up a larger issue with how to treat attributes of characters and other entities which span multiple games and whose names and other characteristics may differ from one to the next. I come to you now offering a new standardized way to handle this, though it needs to be done in multiple facets which can be voted on individually. I will introduce each particular point and describe the proposed change in its own subsection. Cheers. --[[User:Samwell|Samwell]] ([[User talk:Samwell|talk]]) 14:36, 29 January 2023 (UTC)<br />
<br />
===Change 1: Solidifying character gender===<br />
To summarize what was said above, I believe we need a clause in place to prevent established characters from being referred to by different genders in text based on erroneous or inconsistent in-game flavor text. As such, I'd like to add this to the writing standards:<br />
<br />
"For characters established as individuals, their gender must be consistent throughout article text and based on the most consistently-used pronouns in games ("he/she/they" generally takes priority over "it"). It is not appropriate to refer to these characters using different pronouns based on the game unless there is a specific special story or lore-based circumstance for doing so. Note that this rule does not apply across different [[canon]]s (For example, [[Kracko]] in the games VS. Kracko in the [[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!|anime]].), only within canons."<br />
<br />
{{Support}}<br />
#Kracko: "While <u>his</u> pause screen flavor from ''[[Kirby Fighters Deluxe]]'', implies that <u>he</u> fights Kirby to get a comeback for <u>his</u> previous losses, however, in ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]'', <u>it</u> appears <u>it</u> attacks Kirby because of Taranza's command." <= possible shenanigans that could occur with changing pronouns by appearance. Thus, I support to make it an official rule. {{User:Superbound/sig}} 15:37, 29 January 2023 (UTC)<br />
#I 100% agree with this. I was looking at the [[idle animation]] page and noticed that Driblee was referred to with female pronouns, while on the actual [[Driblee]] page the enemy is referred to with it as pronouns. And it doesn't help that Driblee is referred to with all types of pronouns as well. [[User:GoldenDragonLeaf|GoldenDragonLeaf]] ([[User talk:GoldenDragonLeaf|talk]]) 03:42, 30 January 2023 (UTC)<br />
#Agreed. The devs being inconsistient doesn't mean that we need to be inconsistient. {{User:Pinkyoshifan/sig}} 16:00, 30 January 2023 (UTC)<br />
{{Oppose}}<br />
{{Neutral}}<br />
#I don't think enough guidelines are set for me to warrant voting on this. There may be cases where use is too inconsistent to officially suggest one path or another. [[User:Trig Jegman|Trig]] - 16:15, 30 January 2023 (UTC)<br />
====Change 1 discussion====<br />
<br />
===Change 2: Solidifying entity names===<br />
On WiKirby, it has been customary to refer to the names of entities differently based on which game or other media they are in. For example, in the original ''[[Kirby's Dream Land]]'', [[Maxim Tomato]]es are referred to as "Bag of Magic Food" in the manual, so they are called that on the wiki whenever talking about them in article text specific to ''Kirby's Dream Land''. Another example is referring to [[Tiff]] by her Japanese name "Fumu" whenever talking about the Japanese version of the anime specifically. However, it has been brought up that this convention can be confusing to readers, even if strictly speaking more accurate. If this sub-proposal passes, WiKirby will stop referring to entities by different names based on circumstance and only use the most consistent names, mentioning different names only as an aside, unless that different name is prominent in the game/scenario (such as the name "Aeon Hero" for [[Galacta Knight]] in ''[[Super Kirby Clash]]'').<br />
<br />
{{Support}}<br />
#I very much agree with this. I have had a decent amount of confusion reading some articles due to the names not being consistent. As for the anime, I feel like this would especially help those (like me) who have never watched the Japanese sub and would save time so they do not need to look up whatever it is that they are confused about. {{User:Starvoid/sig}} 14:55, 29 January 2023 (UTC)<br />
#This seems reasonable—as an extreme supporting example, you wouldn't leave an entity un-named when discussing it in the context of a specific game if that entity got a consistent name in later games. Any context short of literally quoting from the instruction manual or strategy guide should simply have a parenthetical aside or footnote about the original name, and move on using whatever name is (or would be) used for the article for that entity based on the wiki naming policy. {{User:WillIdleAway/sig}} 15:11, 29 January 2023 (UTC)<br />
#We also stick to this unwritten rule even if it's a clear typo or mistranslation, Mr. Flosty being most infamous example. I don't really see why we need to stick to developers' mistakes in writing everywhere, especially if they later correct themselves. {{User:Superbound/sig}} 15:55, 29 January 2023 (UTC)<br />
#It ''is'' pretty confusing in the most egregious of cases (articles related to the anime especially), so standardizing things in this manner would make it easier for readers that aren't invested in the ''Kirby'' series as a whole to not get lost. In other words, per all. &ndash; [[User:Owencrazyboy17|Owencrazyboy17]] ([[User talk:Owencrazyboy17|talk]]) 17:06, 29 January 2023 (UTC)<br />
#Personally, I feel like consistency is key. By making everything uniform, it will make things less confusing for everyone. I've also gotten a bit confused myself at times when reading articles, so standardizing everything would greatly help. Would definitely have to add a note at the start of all the pages saying that in game they're referred differently however. [[User:GoldenDragonLeaf|GoldenDragonLeaf]] ([[User talk:GoldenDragonLeaf|talk]]) 03:49, 30 January 2023 (UTC)<br />
#Agreed. Same as with the gender thing, the devs being inconsistient doesn't mean that we need to be inconsistient. {{User:Pinkyoshifan/sig}} 16:01, 30 January 2023 (UTC)<br />

====Change 2 discussion====<br />
<br />
===Change 3: Infobox representation===<br />
Admittedly, this one's not really an issue right now, but I still think it's important to have a firm decision on this point. For the main infobox of the page, the image used of a character or other entity should be the most representative/consistent image, not necessarily the most recent one. This rule has largely been followed in practice, but a formal clause should be put in place so nobody thinks to put whatever temporary makeover [[King Dedede]] gets in the next game up as his main infobox image like what was attempted when ''[[Kirby and the Forgotten Land]]'' was the upcoming game. :P<br />
<br />
{{Support}}<br />
#Not much to add here other than I completely agree. It's been an unwritten rule for a while so I fully support making it an official one. {{User:Gigi/sig}} 15:03, 29 January 2023 (UTC)<br />
#Agree as well, provided that accompanying the policy is a document with a few different example entities showing examples of representative and un-representative images for each. {{User:WillIdleAway/sig}} 15:26, 29 January 2023 (UTC)<br />
#Agreed. The infobox is meant for the character as a whole, not for the character in one game specifically. {{User:Pinkyoshifan/sig}} 16:05, 30 January 2023 (UTC)<br />
#Kind of surprised we weren't doing this already, to be honest. [[User:Trig Jegman|Trig]] - 16:15, 30 January 2023 (UTC)<br />
{{Oppose}}<br />
{{Neutral}}<br />
====Change 3 discussion====<br />
<br />
So, at the risk of opening a can of caterpillars but just to have a point of reference ... with the example of Dedede, what ''would'' be considered the most representative/consistent image? (It's definitely ''not'' the KatFL design, true.)<br />
<br />
And for enemies that only appeared in sprite-based games, would we consider official out-of-game artwork to be more representative than the in-game sprite where appropriate, or vice versa? It seems like [[Twizzy]] (my beloved) is a good case study in that (in my eye) the official KDL artwork is clearly inconsistent but the KNiDL artwork (which is the current infobox image) is reasonably consistent with all of the in-game sprites and much higher-resolution (and thus should stay the infobox image). {{User:WillIdleAway/sig}} 15:02, 29 January 2023 (UTC)<br />
:We can probably formalize some finer details, but basically right now an image like that would be any artwork when available, from the most recent game that accurately represents the character. Sure the specifics of that is hard to put into words, but using Dedede again as an example, he is using [[:File:KRtDLD King Dedede.png]] which accurate represents him. We didn't use [[:File:KatFL King Dedede artwork.png]] when FL was his latest appearence because that's his appearance as a boss only, which for an article about Dedede as a whole would be innacurate as he's more often an ally than foe lately. Another examples of images that wouldn't fit his main infobox would be [[:File:King Dedede SSBU.png]] (as it's from Smash), [[:File:Buff King Dedede KSA artwork.png]] (again, boss form), and [[:File:K30AMF King Dedede artwork.png]] (using a design from a real world event and not a game). {{User:Gigi/sig}} 15:10, 29 January 2023 (UTC)<br />
::I actually like this way of framing it—in ambiguous situations like this, counterexamples are often the best way to suggest what is acceptable. (Tangential example: one might show an example of an acceptable photo for a passport or ID card, followed by several mildly amusing examples of clearly unacceptable photos, suggesting regions of acceptable and unacceptable images without actually having to draw the border.) To that list of Dedede counterexamples I would also add [[:File:King Dedede ball KCC artwork.png]], potentially also to argue that designs should be from mainline Kirby games as opposed to spin-off games wherever possible, and [[:File:KDB_Character_Treat_Kirby_riding_King_Dedede_artwork.png]], since it's low-res and an indirect appearance (even if the most recent one out of all the released games—this would also preclude a Keychain somehow ending up as the infobox image). {{User:WillIdleAway/sig}} 15:26, 29 January 2023 (UTC)<br />
<br />
Agreed with this, since it has long been an unwritten rule, but I have one small question, what if the design stays same, but the artstyle is different (both minor, like everything having thick outlines as it is seen in KRtDLD, but also more major, like ''[[Kirby: Canvas Curse]]'' or ''[[Kirby and the Rainbow Curse]]'')? {{User:Superbound/sig}} 15:40, 29 January 2023 (UTC)<br />

== Discussion ==<br />
So that this discussion section doesn't end up being empty, I'll use this chance to repost my idea that interwiki links to Russian WiKirby articles should be positioned in the toolbar at the top (as a button after 'article' 'discussion' 'edit' 'history' 'move' and 'watch'). The initial idea was infoboxes, but only a handful of articles have these and many do not. Another idea was the sidebar, as is standard (on non-Vector 2022 skins), but I think this should be an option to consider if/when WiKirby gets more multilingual affiliates than one. I'm not inclined to the sidebar because if it's placed on the very bottom, it will end up being pretty invisible to an average reader (I think most of us could agree our first multilingual affiliate should be made as visible as possible). If it's placed e.g. right below or above the search box, where it is more visible while still being in the sidebar, it will be inconsistently sandwiched. This is just my opinion, though, and if the community likes the sidebar better, it should be placed there. {{User:Vipz/sig}} 22:45, 25 January 2023 (UTC)<br />
:Regarding putting the links on the sidebar, is it possible to put the languages within another section and if so, what if we tried putting the interlanguage links within the community section? That would also avoid the languages section ever being empty, although I could see it becoming a size issue if/when we get more interlanguage affiliates. {{User:Pinkyoshifan/sig}} 16:08, 26 January 2023 (UTC)<br />
::It would in theory be very easy to add languages to another sidebar section. I would suggest if more interlanguage affiliations arose that it gets its own independent box—similar to what MarioWiki does with its Dutch and Italian counterparts.
