Talk: Affiliation procedure

==How to become an affiliate?==
The process to become an affiliate to the '''Konami Classics''' group is very simple: If you own a wiki about any classic franchise from [[Konami]], either we will try to reach you by leaving an invitation post on your message wall (or on any other active bureaucrat's/administrator's wall), or you can ask to become an affiliate yourself by leaving a message here.

You can also join the [https://discord.gg/xNPS7yE Konami Classics Discord server] and ask any of us to help/guide you in the process.

==What do I have to do once I become an affiliate?==
===For busy or inactive admins===
This one is the easiest to do, as you have to just add the template on your main page and don't have to worry about the pictures. We strongly encourage to use this version as it saves time.

#Create a section on your main page with a title "'''Konami Games'''". 
#Choose one of the code below then copy the code and paste it on your wiki mainpage.

:For admin who don't like wordmarks. The design of the Title/Header is up to you. You can visit the [[w:c:beatmania|Beatmania]], [[w:c:boktai|Boktai]], and/or [[w:c:dancedancerevolution|Dance Dance Revolution]] wikis for ideas. 

*Display in list form. Visit [[w:c:community:Template:KonamiAffiliates (No Wordmark)|Template:KonamiAffiliates (No Wordmark)]] for the templates appearance.
<pre>{{w:KonamiAffiliates (No Wordmark)}}</pre>
*For Mainpage bottom with Dark Background. Visit [[w:c:community:Template:Konami Affiliates|Template:Konami Affiliates]] for the templates appearance.
<pre>{{w:Konami Affiliates}}</pre>
*For Mainpage bottom with Light Background. Visit [[w:c:community:Template:Konami Affiliates (dark)|Template:Konami Affiliates (dark)]] for the templates appearance.

<pre>{{w:KonamiAffiliatesScrollDark}}</pre>

===For admins with free/more time===
This one is more tedious as you have to download all the pictures and upload them manually on your wiki plus add the code for it, since the affiliated wikis has grown stronger, so are the pictures for it.

#Create a template with the name "'''Template:Affiliates'''" on your wiki and copy and paste [[Template:Affiliates Code|this code]] on it.
#*You are free to redesign this template according to the needs of your wiki. You can check the [[w:c:castlevania|Castlevania Wiki]]'s, [[w:c:suikoden|Suikoden Wiki]]'s or [[w:c:silenthill|Silent Hill]]'s main pages for examples and/or to get some ideas.
#Download the following files and upload them on your wiki:

#Paste the '''<nowiki>{{Affiliates}}</nowiki>''' template on your wiki's main page (preferably near the bottom or middle of the page).
#Once you have completed the instruction above, please leave a request on the '''[[Konami_Wiki_talk:Affiliation_procedure#Affiliation Requests|Affiliation Requests]]''' section of this page.
#Add the '''Discord Widget''' to your wiki (for instructions on how to do this, please follow [[w:c:dev:DiscordIntegrator|this link]]). This step is optional, however, as it could get in the way on the design of your wiki, although it's highly advisable to do it in order to have easier communication between each other, as well as providing users from your site an easy way to find the server and meet people that may have similar interests.
#*If you already have the '''Discord Widget''' on your wiki linking to a dedicated server, then feel free to keep it. Many [[Konami]] franchises are still very popular to this day and they already have a well established fanbase. If the franchise you represent is relevant enough, then it makes sense that it has its own server.
#**Even if this is the case, please make sure to contact us in [https://discord.gg/xNPS7yE our server], as all administrators from all wikis are also offered/encouraged to join yet another server reserved for staff members only, where we can privately discuss any matters regarding the wikis' development.

==Affiliation Terms and Conditions==
