Dungeons

Should we replace the link to Dungeons with a link to Copy Abilities? I cannot remember any dungeons in the Kirby series and the Copy Abilities seem more integral to the games to me. - Edofenrir 21:10, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

good catch.. I just made minor tweaks to what we have at ZW. Axiomist

Official names

I played CS and I remember pretty much of it, the problem is, I would add all stuff I know, but I cant remember any official name.... SHould I create them under a cconjectural name?? The Tuck

I suppose that could work, you could port over ZW's conjectural title template. Aren't you in skype too? We could probably use your SMW knowledge of templates and policies to help here. Axiomist 16:45, 30 January 2010 (UTC)

Affiliates banner

Perhaps we can have one in the Main Page, I really like ZW's one. The one with circles and the page names. --Tucayo 04:35, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, I think that would be great! We should ask around to see who's willing to affiliate from just the site owners we personally know until after our official launch. Which will be after Valentine's Day sometime. ;) Axiomist 08:40, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

Coming soon?

Whats coming soon? More articles? On an unrelated note, I will create the special power ups articles tomorrow, exams are over :D --Tucayo 02:54, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

I would say pretty much everything. Of course, it would be wise to set up all the important stuff up [Ex: Featured Content, which I think it nearly done], and such important pages could be listed. —Austin ^{(NIWA Operative)} 02:59, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

Whoops

Just made my account, and realised I wanted to be called LuKirbio. (I hate it when that happens!) Can an admin please fix. I'll be a frequent user, as I have all DS kirby games and the First NES one. LuKirbio 18:37, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

Fraid not. We don't have the Rename User extension, yet. If you'll wait it out for a bit, though, I'll request that we install it.^_Neo^{(U) (T) (C)(Home)} 20:39, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

Cool name choice, as soon as we get it installed, you get to be our test run :P Thanks for joining and editing! Axiomist 05:55, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

Ball

I tried creating the article for the copy ability and Kirby's form in Canvas Curse, which had its links at "ball". However, when I tried creating it, this message showed up: The title "Ball" has been banned from creation. It matches the following blacklist entry: [Bb][Aa4][Ll1][Ll1]. What is that blacklist entry and should the links be moved so that the article can be created? ナエトル A or Turtwig A My talk and my contributions 22:12, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

Whoops. The blacklist is used to prevent people from creating obscene articles and such. Ball is blocked from creation because it's one of those things. Just hold on a bit and we'll get an admin to remove it from the blacklist so the page can be made :)^_Neo^{(U) (T) (C)(Home)} 22:24, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

I can see why. But what about when it is created? Wouldn't it be prone to vandalism? ナエトル A or Turtwig A My talk and my contributions 23:54, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

That doesn't matter. Everything here can be exposed to vandalism if it's not protected. If a vandal comes along, I, or another staff member will deal with him/her. —Austin ^{(NIWA Operative)} 00:20, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

Pictures

Can't upload them. Get message saying "This file has no extention (like jpg.)" I've tried the same file as JPG, jpeg and png, what's wrong? LuKirbio 17:25, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

Could you paste exactly what your are trying in here? Axiomist 17:36, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

Paste? You mean with photobucket or something? I'm 11, can't go on that. LuKirbio 17:37, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

I mean, thisimage.png or whatever it is your are trying to add. Axiomist 17:43, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

*SNAPS FINGERS* Oh no big mistake! Forgot to add .png to the new location URL. Sorry. LuKirbio 18:13, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

.png is used for images that have transparency and are small, .jpg is for photos, and so on... I'll ask Steve to create the page defining which is best for what type of image. But they aren't all the same, bc the wrong file type could blur the images. Axiomist 18:22, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

Already uploaded, and it requires transparency done to it, but I can't do that. Can someone do it for me. Just need the words, Kirby and the cake. It's at File:YumCake.png thanks. LuKirbio 18:25, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

Super Smash Bros. series

Should the games in the Super Smash Bros. series get articles? They are related to the Kirby series; Kirby is in all three while Meta Knight and King Dedede are in SSBB. If so, should the modes get articles? Turtwig A (talk | contribs) 02:21, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

Smash content should be minimized, bc a spill over is likely, so only the Kirby related stuff in a single article should suffice.

• Introduction
  • Games info
• Kirby Characters in Smash Bros Games
  • Kirby-games with him in it, descriptions of his moves etc..
• King Dedede
• Same deal with Kirby (and so on for others)
• Kirby Stages
  • Name/Description
• Kirby related trophies/items
  • Name/Description

etc, so no Link information, Zelda information, Mario, Snake, etc...And we should have a nice article that would get to stay here forever. I have an addition to infoboxes in mind for articles like this to link to our associated wikis. But that's on a long list of things to do.. Axiomist 05:38, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

I agree. Our SSB coverage should only pertain to the Kirby related stuff, with the sole exception of the article introduction, which should give a short summary of what the game in general is about. - File:KNiD E BroomHatter.png Edofenrir^{( talk)} 06:51, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

By games, do you mean events? Turtwig A (talk | contribs) 23:20, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

I meant Super Smash Bros Brawl, Super Smash Bros. Melee" etc. That would be a good start and if you have ideas for other stuff we could hash it out later. I'm not sure about BP and MW, but ZW for sure would be ok with the image copying for SSB. Best thing to do is credit where you pulled the image in the summary if you go forward with that. But we certainly don't want to copy from Wikia. Axiomist 23:36, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

Mobile view

Okay, this page looks horrid in mobile browsers (things are cut off and disjointed.) I'll provide pics later so we can see what to do about.^_Neo^{(U) (T) (C)(Home)} 13:35, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

A mobile browser might help when I'm on my DSi or my sister's iphonetouch/pod/whatever it's called. [Call Steve!]—Austin ^{(NIWA Operative)} 18:42, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

Proposals

Shouldn't Wikirby have proposals like Zelda Wiki and Bulbapedia?? 68071 (Talk)

We have several places where anyone can give us ideas: If you want to suggest something and put in on the wiki, please put it here. You can also be added to the Skype chat (WiKirby All Stars), and talk to other WiKirby editors as well as staff about some suggestions and have fun all at the same time. —Austin ^{(NIWA Operative)} 01:03, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land levels' doors

How should each door in the levels of Kirby's Adventure and its remake be handled? Should they each have a separate page or be put in the level's article? Turtwig A (talk | contribs) 22:20, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
