I'm opening this discussion to all editors!! THe Manual of Style needs your input, good sirs and madams. A question by NeloAngelo: Should we separate enemy pages or should the battle strategy be put in the same page. I've answered this questions before but he still asks so I'm opening this discussion. The MoS needs more input anyway. Suggestions? Blue。 10:38, 4 January 2008 (UTC) Like I said on his talkpage yes. A page for strategies (I hope I spelled that right) would look really clutterd since there are many ways in defeating a boss. -Azul 10:42, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

| - Yes.
- The header idea is good, but the note... might be a little bit complicated and/or confusing.
- For characters, in the story section, should the games be listed on how they chronologically happen, or when the games is released? I'm sure this is a stupid question, and chronologically is proly the best, but I want to make sure so that I can put it in MoS.
- That sounds fantastic. Also, what about saying something about no direct linking to media, e.g. Links to downloading music files, entire soundtracks? I'm not sure what wiki policy is on this, but I'm assuming it's a big nono to illegal music downloads, so we should state it somewhere in case some "smart" person comes along and cries blue murder when we say it's not allowed. Talk of this also cause ROMs to spring to mind, but that's an entirely different matter.
- Does it run concurrently with CoM? I haven't really been reading up on Days.
- Nice guide, but I have a few questions: For abilities like Sonic Blade, would a video or animated .gif be better? Do we frame videos, or simply leave them at the bottom of the page? Is Video space preferred, or Youtube tags?
Odd, I thought "reckon" was a universal word as well. I prefer British English, but after seeing the Orange Orange Orange (colour) edit war on WP, I'll have to side with ILHI.
- I think chronologically is best, but what will we do for 358/2 Days? It's in between KH and KHII but so is CoM. Maybe state everything we know from CoM and Re:CoM and then put new details about the events that happened during CoM in the Days section.
- This is probably uber-late, but they should be italicized.
- So.... if we are going in chronological order, it should go: BbS, KH, Days, CoM, II, yas?
- Well, at the moment, I can see no reason for any page needing more than four videos. Effectively, there are only four games we'd need to showcase , so really there should be no reason for an article to have more than four videos. Even with a few new games coming out soon, I doubt there'll be any articles in need of six videos.
Essentially, the only pages with videos are boss and enemy pages, yeah? And the videos are there to help demonstrate what a boss can do, some strategies, etc.? Well, shouldn't the page give a good enough description and strategy for there to be no need for a video? Personally, I think enemy pages don't need a video if we're doing our job as editors right, but that's just me. But I'd like to propose that perhaps that enemy pages should keep videos to the absolute bare minimum. *waits for furore*
- How about "358/2 Days continued" or "Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days continued"? We could also put a note on the top of the CoM section where it says some thing like: "The story of Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories take place at the same time as 358/2 Days and these are the events taken from Chain of Memories."
- How would it be headed? Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days 2?

| - Sorry about not responding. Days starts before the beginning of CoM. Roxas learns some things from the Organization members in CoM and then they leave at some point in the game to Castle Oblivion. After the events of CoM, Sora is put to sleep and Axel returns. The game then goes until the beginning of KHII. So it basically goes from when Sora loses his heart in KH and then until a couple days before KHII. They do happen at the same time except that Days covers a larger period of time than CoM.

A question by NeloAngelo: Should we separate enemy pages or should the battle strategy be put in the same page. I've answered this questions before but he still asks so I'm opening this discussion. The MoS needs more input anyway. Suggestions? Blue。 10:38, 4 January 2008 (UTC) Like I said on his talkpage yes. A page for strategies (I hope I spelled that right) would look really clutterd since there are many ways in defeating a boss. -Azul 10:42, 4 January 2008 (UTC) Should the enemies’ journal entries be italicized? —Shidou 02:54, 13 January 2008 (UTC) Yes, to symbolize it being an in-game description. Blue。 02:58, 13 January 2008 (UTC) Because journal entries for characters change over the course of the game, is there a specification for which point in the game the entries should come from? —Shidou 16:45, 13 January 2008 (UTC) All of them (if possible). --Hecko X 17:16, 13 January 2008 (UTC) How should one distinguish between the multiple journal entries? Sora’s article has a numerical pattern, but would it be confusing after each entry update from the entire game is written down? —Shidou 18:19, 13 January 2008 (UTC) Should the subject of enemy articles be singular or plural? If singular, should they start with a definite or indefinite article? —Shidou 18:19, 13 January 2008 (UTC) Hard to say without trying out a layout, since I have absolutely no idea of how much information it would be. So I suggest making a sandbox, experiment, and when you/we find a setup that works, go with it. As for your second question, I'm sad to say I don't quite follow your train of thought. Could you possibly use an example to clarify? --Hecko X 18:52, 13 January 2008 (UTC) Stick to singular. And omit the "the" or "a/an". I already said something about that in the style page? Blue。 19:16, 13 January 2008 (UTC) Yes, but you specified it for article titles, not the body. Example of plural, indefinite articles and definite articles. —Shidou 19:25, 13 January 2008 (UTC) Use the definite article for the intro sentence. e.g "The Neo Shadow is a Heartless". The rest then is up to the writer, use as according to the sentence structure and the message to convey. Blue。 19:42, 13 January 2008 (UTC) Should second-person pronouns generally be avoided (with quotes being one of the exceptions)? If so, what should be used in its place (e.g. the player, Sora)? —Shidou 21:34, 16 January 2008 (UTC) Good question. Second person should be avoided. Use, the player for gameplay articles, and third person or character name for character and storyline pages. Blue。 21:39, 16 January 2008 (UTC) Strategies are also exceptions to the rule. --Hecko X 21:41, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
