| It seemed to me (and I think others on the Discord wiki channel—I just don't want to put words in others' mouths) that given the likely necessity for a diverse set of users to contribute to an article like this, the best way to organise this would be via a new Project, analogous to something like Bulbapedia's [[bulbapedia:Bulbapedia:Project Globe|Project Globe]], except much smaller in scope since there are only the games and the one anime series (plus some very limited exports of the light novels) to deal with. So I'm putting something down in the actual wiki to try and collate ideas on what the scope would be and what editors would be able to contribute/research info for which regions. {{User:WillIdleAway/sig}} 15:47, 6 February 2023 (UTC) | | It seemed to me (and I think others on the Discord wiki channel—I just don't want to put words in others' mouths) that given the likely necessity for a diverse set of users to contribute to an article like this, the best way to organise this would be via a new Project, analogous to something like Bulbapedia's [[bulbapedia:Bulbapedia:Project Globe|Project Globe]], except much smaller in scope since there are only the games and the one anime series (plus some very limited exports of the light novels) to deal with.

| :Posting quick just to say that I can contribute with coverage of my home country, Brazil, otherwise I can help with bits and pieces of notable countries. For example, did you know that there are some ''Kirby'' books only in French and Spanish? It's [http://mana-books.com/catalogues/kirby/albums-jeunesse/kirby-lile-aux-friandises this one], although I don't have a Spanish link of it easily ready right now. But yeah, I wouldn't personally try to make each country section super lenghty, but I would give an overview, such as what games were localized to their home language/distributed, anime distribution, and any other additional media when applicable. I suspect the Japan section will be the biggest, but instead of going in much detail we should mention notable things and link to pages, such as [[Kirby Café]] and [[Kirby's Pupupu Market]]. {{User:Gigi/sig}} 16:30, 6 February 2023 (UTC)

| ::Hundred times support for a Project like this! Other than having an overview of the series' presence in various regions of the world, it could also encourage stepping up efforts to covering less known missing bits of ''Kirby'' history (e.g. comics exclusive to German Club Nintendo). {{User:Vipz/sig}} 16:53, 6 February 2023 (UTC)

| :::Absolutely agree! Some of this information is really obscure and shining some light on it would definitely be an eye-opener for quite a lot of people, even those that never visit the site much or have never heard about the ''Kirby'' series a whole lot. And coming from someone who's intrigued on different movie and game translations for quite some time now, I'm very much looking forward to it. – [[User:Owencrazyboy17|Owencrazyboy17]] ([[User talk:Owencrazyboy17|talk]]) 17:09, 6 February 2023 (UTC)

| ::::Making a page with more info on Kirby outside the USA is definitely a good idea, and I agree with Gigi on how it should cover things. {{User:Pinkyoshifan/sig}} 19:47, 6 February 2023 (UTC)
| |
| :I've tended to examine the Korean presence with some bemusement (owing to historical and cultural factors) and would be interested in contributing in that area. Overall by my reckoning people agree this is a good idea and are interested in contributing. Is this something that would benefit from organisation as a proper Project, or something that can just be given a skeleton and left for people to flesh out in time (à la something like the [[Cutscene]] article)? {{User:WillIdleAway/sig}} 02:39, 7 February 2023 (UTC)

| ::I think it would be fine as just a normal article (maybe mention it on this page though), although I'm not sure how it would go with the [[WiKirby:Article creation policy#No new stubs|no new stubs policy]], since this is (probably) not the sort of thing that one person could do on their own. {{User:Pinkyoshifan/sig}} 16:15, 7 February 2023 (UTC)
| |
| :::IMO, that wouldn't really fall into the no new stubs policy, as it would be an article created with a bit of into that is actively worked on. As mentioned, it would be similar to [[Cutscene]], which was created in progress. I guess the difference is that for this one it wouldn't be just one person working on it at first.
| |
|
| |
| :::Also, I think we should create a "Kirby around the world" article, and if it ends up very big, we can then split it up per continent ("Kirby in the Americas", "Kirby in Asia", "Kirby in Europe" etc). But that is thinking ahead.
| |
|
| |
| :::Anyway, if you all want, I can throw together a draft start of it and then move it to mainspace. Or someone else here can do it. {{User:Gigi/sig}} 16:20, 7 February 2023 (UTC)

| :I took the liberty of starting a draft here: [[User:WillIdleAway/Kirby around the world]] {{User:WillIdleAway/sig}} 16:59, 8 February 2023 (UTC)

| ::Thank you! I think we can do some work then move it to mainspace, even if it's not complete. Just needs to first make it have a bit more information, in particular I would consider the Japan and USA sections to be priority, as Kirby is a Japanese series and this wiki is mostly based on the USA. {{User:Gigi/sig}} 17:06, 8 February 2023 (UTC)
