Disney Wiki:Project Disney Wiki:Kingdom Hearts

Project DisneyWiki: Kingdom Hearts is a community project that centers on rewriting the Kingdom Hearts-related articles on the DisneyWiki. The purpose of the project is to write the articles in such a manner that they are both detailed and informative as well as simple and not plagiarized.

Objective
The main objective is to remove all copied information on these articles that was originally written on the Kingdom Hearts Wiki. This does not mean blanking the articles or removing all Kingdom Hearts-related articles from the DisneyWiki. Nor does this mean shortening the articles by removing sections and leaving other still-plagiarized content on the page. Rather, this project is meant to give details on how such articles should be written, now and going forward. The ultimate hope is that this project can serve as a model for the editors of the DisneyWiki in regards to using content from other wikis without outright plagiarizing the content word for word.

Tasks
There were four main categories of articles and media that were identified by editors from both here on the DisneyWiki and editors from the Kingdom Hearts Wiki as needing review and rewriting. Each category may be split into further subcategories. For articles, the articles will be listed in batches, generally grouping them in some way. In all cases, a list of articles will be determined and put in the "Needing Review" section of each category/subcategory. The article should then be reviewed to determine if the article needs rewriting; in other words, whether the article is still using copied content from the Kingdom Hearts Wiki. Then, the article's name should be moved to the section titled "Reviewed, and needs rewriting" with a review as to what content is still lacking. The article can then be rewritten following the review suggestions and the guidelines established for the category. Upon completion, the article should be moved to the "Completed" list. Articles that are determined in good shape and following the guidelines should be moved to the "Completed" list.

The following is the details of these four categories of the project.

Kingdom Hearts Original Characters
Category includes: Sora, Kairi, Terra, etc.

These articles should be written so that they emphasize and detail the story of these characters, especially as it relates to the series. A good summary of the character's appearance in the series should be sufficient, one paragraph per game.

Needing Review:
 * Sora, Kairi, Riku, Roxas, Namine, Xion, Axel, Lea
 * Ansem the Wise, Braig, Dilan, Even, Aeleus, Ienzo, Isa
 * Aqua, Terra, Ventus, Master Xehanort, Master Eraqus, Xehanort, Xehanort's Guardian, Vanitas, the Vanitas Remnant
 * Hayner, Olette, Pence, Kairi's Grandma, Ansem, Seeker of Darkness
 * Xemnas, Xigbar, Xaldin, Vexen, Lexaeus, Zexion, Saix, Larxene, Marluxia, Demyx, Luxord, the Riku Replica

Square Enix Characters
Category includes: Neku Sakuraba, Leon, Zack, etc.

These articles belong on the page the list of Kingdom Hearts characters. They should be fairly short summaries of their role in the games they have appeared in. One or two paragraphs total should be sufficient, and should detail the story.

Disney Characters
Category includes: Mickey Mouse, Aladdin, Tron, etc.

Content for these articles belongs in the character's "Video Game" section or similar section; for some articles, such as Mickey Mouse, it belongs on the character's "Video Game" page. These articles should definitely emphasize the story, especially how it differs or is similar to the character's appearance in his/her original story. For example, the Kingdom Hearts section on Aladdin's page should summarize his role in the five games he has appeared in and compare it to his role in Aladdin and The Return of Jafar. One paragraph per game for recurring or main characters (Aladdin, Mickey Mouse, Tron, Yen Sid, etc.) is enough, while one paragraph total is sufficient for minor characters (Cards, Queen of Hearts, Diablo, etc.)

Kingdom Hearts Original Worlds
Category includes: Disney Castle, Destiny Islands, Twilight Town, etc.

Once more, the story does a good job of explaining the world's role in the game and series. One paragraph per game appearing should be sufficient.

Disney Castle/Disney Town's case is special in that it will also explain the fact that the world acts as the home of the main/original Disney characters, namely that of Mickey, Minnie, Horace, etc. The same is true for Timeless River. In other words, the articles for these worlds should follow somewhat the format of both a Kingdom Hearts-original world and that of a Disney World (see below)

Completed:

Disney Worlds
Category includes: The Grid, Pride Lands, Castle of Dreams, etc.

These articles should summarize the story of the world and compare it to the original movie. For example, the article for Agrabah should summarize the story of Agrabah in all five games, during which it should compare the story to the original movie, just like with the Disney Characters. One paragraph per game is sufficient.

Unnecessary Pages
These are articles that appear in the Kingdom Hearts series, but has no relevance to Walt Disney Pictures/Walt Disney Interactive Studios. They should be treated on a case by case basis, but the general rule is that gameplay articles and minor plot elements should be removed, while plot elements considered major or significant should be put on the Universe of Kingdom Hearts page or the Gameplay in Kingdom Hearts page.

Images
This category is mostly done and has seen great progress. The main task under this part of the project is simply to put the  template on the gallery pages/sections of Kingdom Hearts-related pages. For images taken from the Kingdom Hearts Wiki that do not belong to a gallery, the  template should be used. To determine if an image is taken from the Kingdom Hearts Wiki, simply compare the name of the image to the same image on the Kingdom Hearts Wiki. If they match, then that means the image on the DisneyWiki was copied, as the continues to use the naming schema of the Kingdom Hearts Wiki when it was copied, and thus the image needs the Image Template. Again, this part of the project is mostly completed. Because of the vastness of the project, the project should be carried out as needed, so no lists will be given here.

Project Follow-Up
This project and progress on the project will be monitored by KeybladeSpyMaster and other editors from the Kingdom Hearts Wiki in cooperation with editors and administrators from the DisneyWiki. Following are updates and notices regarding the project.
