Nintendo's E3 starts off tomorrow (June 13th), so I wanted to make a dedicated thread about it for collecting information and getting things onto articles and such. There's two announced 3DS Kirby games coming up (Kirby's Blowout Blast and the as of yet unnamed retail Kirby fighting game ) so I expect these to be expanded on starting tomorrow! Who knows, maybe there's some other Kirby announcements waiting, too?

Sure I can retweet those, just link me the ones you'd like here and I will get to it!

I agree and think it makes sense to consider it on a case by case basis; such as generally, Copy Abilities are "more important" and well known than enemies in the series, since Copy Abilities are one of Kirby's main powers and one of the things people first think of when they think of Kirby. However that's not always the case, as some enemies such as, Waddle Dee, for instance, are very well known and could be considered main characters too (heck, Waddle Dee is important enough to be one of few Kirby characters to get an amiibo!), so if there was ever a "Waddle Dee" copy ability, then you'd do Waddle Dee (Copy Ability) instead of Waddle Dee (Enemy).

As for the Wayback machine: you can manually archive pages on there, that should be able to work. I'll check later if the process is compatible with the miiverse website.

If there's any 3DS screenshots you are still in need of, you can have me get any of them you would like because that's something I can get done quickly!

Hey all! So I made a possible logo we could use for the anniversary on August 1st. Any opinions?
If we can clean that up, it'd work pretty nicely I think! I've been working on a new general logo for the wiki as well because I never was happy with how the "wiki" part of it turned out, haha! Although I'll show/talk about that sometime when I start doing my blog. So yea anyway I am okay with that one if we can get it spruced up a bit!

Today's Nintendo's last E3 day, I really hope we find out more about the two 3DS Kirby games!

Well we got a very unexpected but pleasant surprise this E3, haven't we? Please let me know if there's anything you all would like from me, I can grab screenshots primarily, if you don't feel like it, haha!
Oh yes, also, I can get the "newest release" on the home page set up!

We have a new, formal, official page set up for making article claims!
Kirby Wiki:Claimed Articles
More information is available on the page and at request in this thread. We hope this system helps the Kirby Wiki continue to grow and prosper while following the highest standards!

That's the idea! Kirby doesn't often have newsworthy things going on outside of games being released though so that's why it will mostly consist of the things I mentioned in this post, haha.

As you may or may not have noticed yet, the Kirby Wiki as of today now has a twitter page, as showcased on the main page and as a replacement for the old, clunky announcement system (which is archived here for those who still wish to see it). Something I would like to do with it is showcase articles or trivia facts about Kirby, and I would like to get suggestions from you all in the community! Do you have an article that you think stands out or that you would like to see get some more attention? Have a particularly favorite fact about Kirby you'd like to share? Let us know here and we will review it, and if we like your suggestion we'll post it on the twitter page (which means the home page here as well!) I'd like to set up a couple rules beforehand though, which are as follows:
- No Personal Pages -- we're not going to promote your userpage or anything else that is personal to a specific user, so don't ask!
- Check Your Facts -- if you are suggesting a trivia fact, make sure it's a real one before you post it here. Most of the trivia on the site has been checked/verified, but there might still be some dubious ones out there, so if you found one of those (or made one up), we'll catch it when we review it, but you can save us the trouble by checking things yourself!
Thanks everyone, and I hope this new feature helps drive community engagement and support into the future! Enjoy!

MagicMirrorKirby wrote: It would be cool if we got all these, even for the ones that already have official artwork for KRtDL / KTD. For those that have, we can just add the pause-screen artwork in the actual artwork section of the page, and for those that don't have, we can use that pause-screen artwork as the Ability's image.
I could help getting them, but I have no clue where to get some decent quality screenshots of the pause screens.
That was exactly my thoughts! And as far as KTD goes, it's as simple as posting to Miiverse, as I did here to get the Wing Kirby image above: https://miiverse.nintendo.net/posts/AYMHAAACAAAYUKlfkxK_Cg The difficult piece is cutting them out and digitally repairing the parts that had text over them. :)

I think just any in-game artwork or things of that nature are important. The four new abilities in KTD have official artwork; the rest only have in-game artwork. Which still takes priority over official artwork from older games. KTD's ability artwork from in-game is the most up-to-date versions of the abilities.

Also I will note that I'm currently taking a break from working on it, as it is a very long and time-consuming project; it pretty much occupies all my time while I'm working on it. I will have it finished by the end of August though; definitely not later than that but most likely sooner.

I've omitted some of the short fanfares. Such as the short versions of the Kirby Dance and etc. For instance, we really only need the complete Kirby Dance song.

Well, first of all, Changtau2005 basically built this site; everything you see here is pretty much all his work. All the templates, the site skin, all the little quotes and the random portal, all the video players, all the CSS definitions, everything.
Second, I have not personally looked through every soundtrack, so I will take your word for it that some are incomplete/out of order. However, I've pretty much taken over the job as soundtrack person, though. I'm currently doing the Kirby: Triple Deluxe soundtrack. The resolution of the videos does not affect the sound quality whatsoever, it's set that way so that it loads faster in our music players.
And yes we do have admins, myself being one. You can find a list here: Special:ListUsers/sysop NerdyBoutKirby and I are the current active admins; however Changtau2005 can usually be contacted quite easily.
The music players themselves work directly with YouTube playlists, so, theoretically, any playlist would work. Though this becomes subject to link rot, so we like to keep them all in one channel. However this also removes a bit of the community aspect, but at the same time we don't want just anyone to have access to editing the soundtracks. So hopefully we can figure out something with this.
Thank you!

Alright, thanks! YouTube's been being rather buggy today, but hopefully I'll have more later.
