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)

I guess we can do it as a section on say the Vegetable Valley page, then as it expands take it out or something. I'm hoping to be able to get images from the game on this pc soon.Axiomist 03:53, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

Yes, I don't think the areas behind the doors have enough content to fill an article, so they should be collected on the level article. If images are an issue: I have the game 100% completed, so I could make screenshots of every area if needed. - Edofenrir^{( talk)} 21:52, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

Idea

On a game article, maybe we can show the ablitys and enemies in that game? I think its a good idea Joey 7:45 PM, 25 May 2010.

On my page, I am making a temporary list that compares what abilities are in what games. I was going to post it when I'm done. Not sure about the enemies though. Got any sugestions for my list? Ember Incubus 23:57, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

I should suggest needle Kirby, and the combo ablitys from Kirby 64. KirJoey 3:47 PM, 26 May 2010

All the Kirby 64 Copy Ability pages will hopefully use the K64Power template, which lists all the abilities in the game. —Austin ^{(NIWA Operative)} 19:57, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

I'm actualy making a seperate table for KDL2, KDL3, and K64 abilities. Ember Incubus 02:09, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

Okay, I finished both of the tables and put them under the Copy Ability‎ page. -- կրակ ^(խոսել) -- 00:41, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

Another Idea

Maybe this will help make the NIWA co. known, why maybe make a youtube account and put reviews, game walkthroughs, and more! And it could be for any franchise that is nintendo! Whadda think, good or bad?

I think it is a good idea. Infact, we should make walkthrough videos too. -- կրակ ^(խոսել) -- 23:41, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

I think Bulbapedia has already started videos. You might want to bring this up on the NIWA site forums. Turtwig A (talk | contribs) 01:32, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

I had been considering creating a Youtube account for WiKirby so we could control our own videos. The main reason I haven't done it is the obvious one, :P at this point we have so much to do and it may be unwise to take up another burden. Right now we're really lacking in still images, articles, and references. On that note, I was thinking we could consider compartmentalizing; at least temporarily. To elaborate on that, this is where I've been pulling images. it'd be cool to have someone who's WiKirby position was to mine images, source them, clean them up, transparent, compress, upload, and place in as many articles as possible.

Axiomist (talk) 06:19, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

I can help with the image situation, but I can't use transparancy. I think we should divide up the users into different asignments. That way a few could do youtube, a few can make templates/charts, a few can make articles, a few can do uploads, and a few can double check everything. -- կրակ ^(խոսել) -- 06:31, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

If you want to jump in there and get started with cropping out useful images, scanning the other manuals, etc that'd be cool. I put a link to get Gimp downloaded, I only have some basic image transparent techniques committed to memory. So some of the images of Kirby in the Squeak Squad manual were impossible for me. But yeah, it seems you catch my drift with compartmentalizing. I think we could actually cover more ground that way. For instance, when I'm working on an article if I go look for an image, I find several that we could use, my article gets a backseat and I fuss with Gimp for the rest of the day. Alternatively, if we had designated people for specific tasks, then we would function something like a real office.

Axiomist (talk) 06:47, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

I can use Paint.NET, but I can not use it on this comp. This compt isn;'tcompatible with transparent images for some reasons. I have a laptop that can make transparent images, but it would be atleast a week before I can. What I really want to do it templates. Do you have any templates you think we need that I can make? -- կրակ ^(խոսել) -- 06:57, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

Well we have no userboxes, edit count template, and i wanted a userbox for people to say they primarily use Nintendoland.com, Kirby's Rainbow Resort, Unseen 64, Zelda Wiki, NIWA, Bulbapeia, Mario Wiki, UserOwnsGameName etc. Tho they don't seem important I think some user page flair helps retain people,
