I'm wondering if Critical Reception should be added as a regular thing to most Kirby games' pages. I got the idea from the Mario Wiki and I just thought it would be a neat idea.

:Some game pages have it already, but it really hasn't been a priority for us recently, partly because Kirby games tend not to receive much reception compared to other Nintendo games. That said, I don't think anyone would oppose you if you wanted to add more reception sections to game pages. Just make sure to use reputable sources and remain objective when doing so. --[[User:Samwell|Samwell]] ([[User talk:Samwell|talk]]) 04:27, 13 June 2021 (UTC) | :Some game pages have it already, but it really hasn't been a priority for us recently, partly because Kirby games tend not to receive much reception compared to other Nintendo games.

::While it does sound interesting, it's not like every Kirby game has something bad about it.

::I see, sorry for not accounting the southern hemisphere. Only visitors with an account can use custom CSS, which is why I proposed for it to be global, but now I agree.

== Addition of [[mediawikiwiki:Extension:CategoryTree|Extension:CategoryTree]] == | |||
This extension is used on many wikis, including from Wikimedia and NIWA. I think it would be a really useful extension to have for [[:Category:Pages needing attention|maintenance categories]], among all others, to have categories display basic information such as a number of pages, files and subcategories contained in them, as well as ability to see and navigate subcategories within the same page. Posting here to garner formal community and admin support for [[User:Ampera]] to install/enable this extension, as it's likely to be lost in conversations on the Discord server. {{User:Vipz/sig}} 00:40, 12 April 2022 (UTC) | |||
:It adds the ability of both seeing how many pages/categories are in a category, and to see which categories are inside another one without the need of opening the page of the root category. Those functions seem really useful to me, both on editor's side and on reader's side, plus that it doesn't seem that it breaks things. It is very useful, and if it indeed doesn't come with any downsides, I support adding it. {{User:Kirbeat/sig}} 01:29, 12 April 2022 (UTC) | |||
::I've talked about this with Vipz in the past, so I definitely support having it added. --[[User:Samwell|Samwell]] ([[User talk:Samwell|talk]]) 01:31, 12 April 2022 (UTC) | |||
:::Support, although I'm curious why it's here and not not a formal proposal. {{User:Pinkyoshifan/sig}} 10:59, 12 April 2022 (UTC) | |||
::::Regular proposals usually involve changes to policies or removal of something used on mainspace articles. This feature changes nothing in that sense, it just gives more info about categories, and as such is a minor addition. I can make it into a proposal if one has to be made. {{User:Vipz/sig}} 11:16, 12 April 2022 (UTC) | |||

== General disclaimer == | |||
So, we have [[WiKirby:General disclaimer|General disclaimer]], but the page, despite being important, is hidden from the users (allegedly, [[User:Kirbeat|Kirbeat]] didn't know it was a thing until recently and he's a staff). It's only linked on the [[Help:Contents|content page]] and in the help navbox, in both cases among other links, thus making it hardly noticeable. I propose we add mention of it to "About Us" on the Main Page or at least at the top of previously mentioned content page. What do you all think? {{User:Superbound/sig}} 19:26, 14 April 2022 (UTC) | |||
:It's also on the footer, but yeah, it needs to be more noticeable. I think the main page link should work. {{User:Pinkyoshifan/sig}} 22:03, 14 April 2022 (UTC) | |||
::I checked the source of Help:Contents, and I didn't see the disclaimer page linked there. Although, as PYF said, the disclaimer is linked on the footer of the site, so we could argue that it is linked on literally every page, but even so I don't think that that footer is something that most people would direct their attention to. The disclaimer mentions how WiKirby isn't affiliated with Nintendo, how is that the copyright holders of the topics presented here are Nintendo and HAL, how is that the information presented here may not be 100% accurate thanks to this being something fan-driven, and how navigating through topics of old games may spoil the reader; thus, it seems to me that that disclaimer is something that should be linked on more visible pages.<br> I support that it should be linked on both the content page and on the "About Us" section of the main page, as suggested, and I also add that it should be linked on [[WiKirby:About]]. Maybe linking it on all three could be too much, but by seeing how important the disclaimer is, I would link it on all three. {{User:Kirbeat/sig}} 17:38, 19 April 2022 (UTC) | |||
:::There's no real need to link it everywhere. Putting a note in the "About Us" box on the mainpage is enough and virtually no one will miss to read it. [[WiKirby:About]] deals with the history of the wiki - if someone is reading that page, there's a 99% chance they've already read the whole main page because they're interested in the wiki. {{User:Vipz/sig}} 18:52, 19 April 2022 (UTC) | |||
::::I agree having it on just "About Us" and [[WiKirby:About]] would be fine. The policies on [[Help:Contents]] prioritize the ones related to wiki-editing, and keep the rest in the navbox. [[User:StarPunch|StarPunch]] ([[User talk:StarPunch|talk]]) 01:34, 20 April 2022 (UTC) | |||
== Something funky going on with the poll == | |||
Been logged out for a bit for some reason and when I voted in the most recent poll (Kirby's Dream Buffet is out! How are you liking it?), my vote kept changing from option to option every time I hopped back on the site. I don't know how much of an issue this is or if it has been happening with logged in users, but I thought I'd drop this here as a general heads up in case it's a bigger issue (also I logged in and voted just to see what will happen with my vote). [[User:Magolor04726|-Mags]] ([[User talk:Magolor04726|talk]]) 04:26, 10 September 2022 (UTC) | |||
:Yeah, I suspect the wiki's ongoing caching issues are affecting the polling system. I suspect we'll probably want to retire it soon until things are sorted out/people are more interested in the poll again, since not many people are using it anyways. --[[User:Samwell|Samwell]] ([[User talk:Samwell|talk]]) 10:32, 10 September 2022 (UTC) | |||
::The poll receives about 30 votes on average and I think it's just a good way to see how many participatory visitors WiKirby has, so I think it should not be retired. It was placed there to take up empty space in the first place. The cache problems will eventually be solved, but outright removing polls would create more issues than it would solve. {{User:Vipz/sig}} 11:29, 10 September 2022 (UTC) | |||
:::Well, I do have an idea of what it could be replaced with. Might be a proposal pretty soon. The thing to note is that the poll doesn't necessarily gauge overall traffic to the wiki; just how many people are willing to "engage" with the front page. From my reckoning, it's really not that much more than the WiKirby regulars who use it anyways, so it's not really doing much right now. --[[User:Samwell|Samwell]] ([[User talk:Samwell|talk]]) 11:34, 10 September 2022 (UTC) | |||
== Hello great website i have 2 questions == | |||
1 do you think you could make some stuff about the new mecha kirby copy ability? 2 I'm having trouble making a account idk if it takes a while but i would like some help please. and i'm trying to get this chat group lively since the last thing posted was like 2018-2019 anyways i just wanted to thank you guys because im making a slide show about every copy ability! Me and my friend are getting the pictures from this website you guys are helping us out a lot we already have 30+ kirbys in it and some that we made! I hope you read this | |||
Im the guy who just sent something out saying nothing has been talked about since 2018-2019 i didn't scroll down sorry just wanted you to hear that {{unsigned|136.228.217.68}} | |||
:Hello. We have a page on the [[Mecha]] ability already. Unfortunately, there's not a whole lot more to say than what's there already. There's not any official art available of the ability yet, and we probably won't get any until the next trailer at least. | |||
:Also, just to note, this talk page is not a "chat" group. We do have a [https://discord.gg/4y9BPyj Discord server] if you want to join that, however. | |||
:I can see two account requests in the queue at this time, but neither of them have had their e-mails confirmed. We typically do not approve accounts until that happens. Make sure you check your e-mail to see if you got a message from WiKirby asking to confirm your account. It may have ended up in the spam folder. Let me know if you have any other questions. --[[User:Samwell|Samwell]] ([[User talk:Samwell|talk]]) 16:56, 15 September 2022 (UTC) | |||
Ok thanks for letting me know this is kinda weird I have never talked to a dev of a website before,thank you i will be checking out that discord server! Well its me again i don't see it in my email and its not in my spam folder {{unsigned|97.64.61.225}} | |||
== What is the difference between autoconfirmed and autopatrol? == | |||
They have the same requirements, 5 edits and be registered for a day. Whats the difference? {{unsigned|MeltanFlood}} | |||
:So, I'm not sure where you got the idea that they have the same requirements, because they do not. The prerequisite 5 edits and a day is how you become Autoconfirmed. Autopatrol is the next step up, where a user no longer needs to have their edits patrolled and is allowed to vote on proposals. The "requirements" for Autopatrol are less clear and cut. Basically, you just have to demonstrate that you make good contributions to the wiki and stay out of trouble, and show a decent level of activity, and a staff member will award it to you at some point. We monitor all wiki contributions via the [[Special:RecentChanges|recent changes]] log, and get live updates on the Discord server, so we'll see how you are faring on the wiki. Hope this makes things clearer. Also, when posting in a talk page, you need to sign your name to any of your posts. Do that by typing four tildes at the end of your post (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>). Thank you. --[[User:Samwell|Samwell]] ([[User talk:Samwell|talk]]) 16:20, 19 February 2023 (UTC) | |||

==Article on Prima Games== | |||
I feel that there needs to be one about this. The former game guide writer/publisher, but no longer does so. While known for writing print guides for a variety of games and franchises, they only wrote guides for two Kirby games: [[Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards]] and [[Kirby's Epic Yarn]]. The former is known for having one infamous error: While the guide showed how to obtain every shard in the game, it stopped at the bad ending and did not cover Dark Star at all. It also incorrectly called [[0²|02]] a "benevolent creature in the clouds of Shiver Star that poses no threat". | |||
No other Kirby games have got any guides from Prima, and the reasons for this remain unknown. AKA the very root of [Japanese title] on here. People underestimate just how important those guides (or lack thereof in this case) really were.
