Series Three Overhaul Project - Loose Notes (24/06/2022) These are some loose notes concerning the Series Three Overhaul Project (STOP) and other recent stuff on the wiki, as of June 24th 2022, along with a repost and reminder of the two task posts from June 10th, still ongoing.

Due to circumstances at present, both on and off the wiki, these notes will not be particularly well sorted for now, very rough and rushed.

Assorted Notes
''Under construction (28/06/2022)

Part 1: Railgun 15th Anniversary SS

 * Due to the information that came with the release of the Railgun volume, certain plans which we had in the works needed to be revised - this included:
 * The implementation of the country (and non-country location) table in Setting, meant to hold only brief information on the ones with articles, and hold all information for the ones which don't have articles and for which the information available is not sufficient to warrant an article (such as the newly mentioned Dialine Empire).
 * On a side note, a similar table had been planned for brands and companies in a different sub-section of the same article as part of an overhaul.
 * The rapid composition and launch of an article for Blood, previously planned as a section on another page, but changed to an article given the change of circumstances (with fake blood and blood-related abilities (Scorpion Tail and Macro Dying) added on all top of the existing stuff connected to blood)(the rest of the stuff on the previously planned article likely to not be ready for some time under present circumstances, and the blood-related circumstances needing to be dealt with sooner).


 * Regarding the Railgun volume, most of the article and redirect creations have been completed successfully, with varying levels of expansion and placeholders ( and are being used alongside the plan thread).
 * Chapters 2 to 4 haven't had their Characters/Abilities/Locations sections done yet at time of writing. They will have them done shortly though.
 * While reviewing the data, a certain fact was observed - although we know Branch 177 is in School District 7 (either through direct reference or logical deduction), we haven't got any references written down for it anywhere.
 * ExitApp is redirected to its creator Amahebi Saeka.
 * In terms of new character articles, some sections are mostly satisfactory, but some bits are considerably lacking at the moment:
 * Amahebi Saeka's expansion has largely been done, but the sections may need a slight trim and fine-tune. Some bits might be needed requiring general personality to go with the existing dislike of her own power and the use of ExitApp.
 * Akazame is lacking a Personality section (not sure how much can be gleaned)
 * For the Yugure sisters (Yugure Kanaria and Yugure Tsumebakei): the general and sister-related Personality bits have not been done, Chronology expansion is also required for Tsumebakei.
 * For Resanerié's group: While the Background and Abilities sections have been done to a reasonably satisfactory level, the Chronology TSPs are at the very basic level and their Personality sections could do with work.
 * For Resanerié Sadis Dialine herself, Personality section is currently empty and could use work. Chronology currently has just a basic temporary summary placeholder (TSP), to be expanded in due course.
 * The majority of the Chronology expansion has now been carried out, however the independence declaration and agitation segment needs a bit of fine-tuning and expansive tweaking.
 * For her servants (Tougyo Kea, Renka Ephilty, Sanki Ai, Shitatsuzumi Yoshiko): Chronology currently has just a basic temporary summary placeholder (TSP), to be expanded in due course.
 * Expansion of the joint attack segment carried out.

Part 2: Shared Draft Assignments

 * has been assigned to an information collection task - "Food and Drink".
 * Around the same time as this assignment, additional information was added for a similar collection task in, concerning "Flora and Fauna" - not fully processed.
 * One of the Shared Drafts will be assigned to the task of "Regex Wishlist" in due course - to keep track of the various different regex-related stuff for which code has been found for (along with additional applications and specifics) and for which code has not yet been found for. Examples include:
 * Determining whether one specified target is before another specified target (e.g. section headers, categories).
 * Isolating a check sweep to a specific section of an article.
 * Isolating a check sweep to within a specific template.
 * Verifying content after the last of a specific type of character (e.g. kana)(e.g. for identifying Nihongo cases without romaji).
 * Identifying targets such as section headers which do not fall into a pre-designated selection.
 * assigned to task.

Part 3: Sweep Processing Methods

 * An alternative has been found for the list-comparison (X AND Y/X OR Y/X-only/Y-only) tool following the other one going offline.
 * An idea that has been considered is making a quick-access list of the namespace numbers, to support use of MassEdit's GeneratePageListing function (which requires numbers for namespaces rather than words).
 * A method has been found which can exploit the fact that a MassEdit sweep can still be executed on one tab which was logged in and set up, when one has logged out or switched user on another more recent tab, albeit with try-again errors instead of successful edits. This sweep-yet-not-sweep can provide several benefits in certain tasks (such as those which require a locator sweep)(e.g. locating without tagging and de-tagging (especially if the majority of articles are involved, or if there is the potential for troublesome oversights), for operations involving a long list of articles - narrowing down search lists and not having the eventual sweep edits spaced apart so much in terms of time).

Part 4: Other

 * With the usual late month manga release, new information will emerge which will need to be processed, with possibilities for both information tasks and image candidates (of course, we won't know until the release).
 * Several templates which have been considered but not created which are half-way between a TrackTag and a non-TrackTag article (tracking in a similar manner to the TrackTags, but rather than be besides within or besides - to instead encompass and display the target text, in a similar manner to the recently created UQ template), hence an amount of uncertainty regarding whether to proceed with them and how to categorize them if one should proceed with them. However, these are on the backburner due to other tasks taking priority.
 * Some of the tasks done earlier in the month were partially aimed at getting some odd jobs ready for other people to do while the primary contributors were busy with other more important tasks.
 * As an experiment, and partly due to a lack of time and energy to repeat and rehash odd jobs and tasks from earlier in the month, the June 10th posts have been directly incorporated below this time.
