User blog:Inept Wiki User/Image Tasks and Reminders (12/04/2022)

Series Three Overhaul Project - Image Notes (12/04/2022) These are some loose notes, tasks and reminders concerning images on the wiki, as of April 12th 2022.

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

Image Tasklist

 * Toaru IF and GT6 items have been excluded from this tasklist due to current circumstances.

Table Experiment Notes
Table experiment format carried forward from STOP Notes posts starting March 14th:
 * Only vaguely sorted in terms of priority (a few items have their subject(s) bolded), not strongly sorted at present
 * Subject(s) entries are not image name suggestions. Primarily chosen for descriptive and sorting purposes.
 * No names have been set unless noted.
 * Possibilities rather than must-haves
 * Titles for unnamed characters/abilities likely temporary
 * At least one usage note in the table alongside the general new image candidates.

Summary/Licensing/Categories
''Section incomplete. Writing notes (16/04/2022-).'' This is a reminder regarding the basic information structure that we are following for images uploaded on the wiki, which a few uploaders neglected to use when uploading during the past few months.

TrackTag Notes
These are a few notes concerning TrackTags (non-visible tracking tag templates used for tracking and as markers for carrying out sweep operations, both simple and advanced) that are currently being used in various images, which have been omitted from new images that are their applicable targets or replicated in cases other than their assigned targets, perhaps due to a lack of understanding or remembrance about what they are being used for.

I2S
The following TrackTags are assigned to tasks, which are connected to the Image Information Survey (I2S) and subsequent follow-up work.

For many years, people neglected to include appropriate information when uploading to the wiki, and the information that had been included was often not in a good state. In the latter half of 2020 (September I think it was), after a period of pre-planning (and a bit of a delay), I carried out an exhausting sequential sweep operation over the course of a week, to process the existing image pages, adding in Summary and Licensing framework, tagging parts as appropriate for further work, and aiming to get a clearer picture of where things stood overall. It cleaned things up quite a lot, though there is still much left to do.

Following on from that major operation, there are a number of TrackTags that are assigned to ongoing tasks connected to its subject matter.

The most common three to be seen at the moment are TrackTags 21, 22 and 23. These are being used in conjunction with the special ImageReqInfo TrackTags. Used in the Summary section, they are placed within the labels for Description, Source and Purpose respectively, when there is an ImageReqInfo in place of an entry for that part - in order to keep track of where the IRIs are in place and how many are in for those specific areas.

For example For a case like:

Description:

They would be placed like this:

And for a case like:

They would be placed like this:

Purpose:

TrackTags 27, 28 and 29 were also placed with Description, Source and Purpose, during the late-2020 operation, but for a different task. They were placed with Description, Source and Purpose, where the entries for those things were already in place before the operation. The reasons for this were to separate the pre-existing cases from the ones to come, to prevent errors occurring during a number of the operation's sweeps, to keep track of which images had DSP entries before the projection, and also to mark those sections for further examination, for purposes such as cataloguing tendencies and patterns within past entries.

Since that time, a number of people have placed TT27, TT28 and TT29 in new image cases where the Description/Source/Purpose entries have been added, which complicates the previously mentioned plans a bit.

TrackTag 30, also placed during the operation, was to mark areas where there were parts left over from the pre-operation time which had not been processed into the Summary (Description/Source/Purpose etc) and Licensing format, (likely because the way they were written previously meant that the sweeps could not properly convert them) though the framework was likely added around it, or they were marked as needing appropriate manual attention. These would need manual processing in order to convert those areas into the planned structure.

Although the sweeps were unable to process these areas, they could place the following above them to mark and track them: Unprocessed: If information below (visible or hidden), process and integrate into standard format.

Possible example:

Summary
Description:

Source:

Purpose:

Unprocessed: If information below (visible or hidden), process and integrate into standard format.

Example of unprocessed information

Licensing
TrackTag20 was used to check other examples of bolding (besides Description, Source, Purpose labels), identifying and separating them in order to prevent sweep errors in a similar manner to TT27-30. It was added in the middle of those bolding marks.

Here's a file example which involved both TT20 and TT30: File:Location Kilauea.png

Summary
Description:

Purpose:

Unprocessed: If information below (visible or hidden), process and integrate into standard format.

English: Map showing relationship of Kīlauea to other volcanoes that form the island of Hawai’i—‘’the Big Island.

Information in Upload Box
Information can be added both during and after the upload procedure, but there are a few things to bear in mind if adding the information during the upload procedure.

If a category is added during the upload procedure - in the input box which puts stuff into a Summary section, it will be at the bottom of that section rather than at the bottom of the page as a whole, which might cause problems with certain maintenance and verifications sweeps later on. Several locator sweeps meant to identify cases of this have been devised - but there are gaps in their net, cases which they won't catch, and some unrelated cases that they might catch instead.

For example

Licensing
or

Licensing
A search for the above using the below

]]

Licensing
might catch the following

Purpose: To illustrate cases of X

Licensing
For example Searches using

[[Category:

which might catch

Purpose: To illustrate blah

[[Category:

Licensing
will not catch

Purpose: Designated purpose

The headers will also have spaces in them (e.g. == Summary == rather than ==Summary== etc), which might hamper certain sweeps, but this can be quickly sorted out with a list of recently uploaded files and a simple switch sweep using the rough criteria above.
