Series Three Overhaul Project - Loose Notes (25/09/2020) These are some loose notes concerning the Series Three Overhaul Project (STOP), as of September 25th 2020.

Notices
Currently compiling Today, the twenty-fifth and final episode of Railgun T aired. The next BD release will be coming in a few days and with it, the next chapter of the Agnese SS. No manga chapter for Railgun this month, though there is still a very large backlog of information for processing and update work is continuing as usual. GT3 will be coming in a couple of months.

A couple of weeks ago, an attempt was made to restart the stalled Image Information Survey and record the status of all the files which were on the wiki at the point of restart, so that we have a clear picture of what work needs to be done on them and where information is required, as well as adjusting them to assist this work. This time, rather than tackle it in small batches, the whole lot was being tackled at once, with batches only where necessary. It took a while, but the survey operations have been completed successfully and the results obtained.

Following a short break after the survey sweep operations, in addition to overall update work, it is planned and hoped that the much-delayed Operation Interim is going to be resumed. Several additional operations are also being planned or in motion, carried out by myself, the other core contributors and the new volunteers. Given circumstances, some plans for which the specifics are not fully set or written are going have some of their fragments presented in rough note form for now.

Assorted Rough Notes
Currently compiling
 * Railgun T Image Reminder: Remember to check caption grammar when adding images to articles, as there have been a large number of grammatical mistakes and errors so far. If the amount grows much more, it will require a large cleanup operation.
 * Grammatical Cleanup Self-Checks: Both recently and in the present, there have been various instances of users attempting to make grammatical corrections to articles, but introducing grammatical errors in the process (either changing a correct part to an incorrect one, or changing an incorrect one to another incorrect one). Please bear this in mind and be careful with your edits to avoid introducing new errors while attempting to correct existing errors.
 * Episodes, Quotes, Previews: In the Quotes sections for the Railgun T episodes, there is a sub-section for the quotes from the Preview for that episode (similar to the ones in Index, though usually with multiple characters). Most of these currently only have the Expand tag with a short note regarding the intended inclusion and the relevant references (the previous episode, which the preview was at the end of, and the episode's website page). The plan was to have it in the same format as usual (bullet points, with the character speaking in bold followed by the translated quote in italics and quotation marks (e.g. Character: "What they say.", followed by the Japanese transcript in brackets if possible (Kana, Romaji)).
 * Episodes, Soundtrack: In the Trivia sections for episode articles, there is a sub-section for the Soundtrack, along with a collapsible table to hold information on the tracks used in the episode in order (table fields being number, track name, time, scene and notes). For many of these, track divisions have not been verified (i.e. how many tracks in a certain part) and tracks not identified - 'Unverified Track' is being used in the name box for tracks which have not been identified/verified. However, it is being done using two special tags which display the same thing but have different intended targets (their purpose is the same though - to enable monitoring of pages with the tagged targets via Special:WhatLinksHere). was intended for ones where there are multiple unverified tracks together and the number/division not determined, and  for individual, separate tracks which are currently unverified.
