User blog:Inept Wiki User/STOP Notes (24/12/2021)

Series Three Overhaul Project - Loose Notes (24/12/2021) These are some loose notes, tasks and instructions concerning the Series Three Overhaul Project (STOP) and other recent stuff on the wiki, as of December 24th 2021.

Due to circumstances at present, both on and off the wiki, these notes will not be particularly well sorted for now. This time will be a fairly rough and quick one, even by recent standards.

Opening Notes
Note that many of the notes, tasks, reminders, instructions etc from the recent STOP Note-related posts (October-December) are still applicable and ongoing. See the respective links below for further details.

Toaru Series

 * Recent Manga Releases:, ,
 * Recent LN Volume:
 * Toaru IF Latest: Christmas Delivery

Quick Reminders
Due to a number of times in recent weeks where users did not know, forgot or disregarded certain things (problems with which can accumulate and cause major headaches), a post was hastily compiled to inform or remind users about certain things.

Subjects covered (only a few of the intended or considered ones, given the circumstances) included the regular editing restrictions and procedures accompanying new volume releases (applicable at the moment), reminders on the use of Spoiler block and Spoiler text templates, the information that should be included with uploads and how it is typically structured (and what to have if one really has none of the right information at that point), and a warning to vandals (with one final one for a recent serial offender).

GT5 Reminders
has just been released and as per standard wiki protocol, article edits and image uploads involving GT5 story-related content are prohibited until the volume is fully processed. In the meantime, see the plan thread here for future details, including plans and discussions relating to GT5.

SDs 234 and 235 have been assigned for related preparations. The Rainbow Spectrum end will likely be updating in a week.

Please structure comments and discussions in order to minimize spoiler presence outside of the plan thread and on SocialActivity.

Note: Spoiler tag and spoiler block templates are not functioning within comments or Discuss, so they won't help to conceal spoiler content on there or in Social Activity. Possible alternative approaches include oblique writing or preview-occupying initial waffle (approximately 101 characters worth).

Mid Notes
These notes are still being compiled

Image Tasklist

 * Candidates for image names for below not set

Odd Jobs

 * Index Manga Chapters, Adapted From: Adaptation sections need doing for Chapters 133 to Ch163.

Minor, Odd Thought, Random, Backburner etc
A bunch of random and minor stuff, some of the backburner, and some odd thoughts briefly pondered and put away for some other time (some to be discarded).
 * Regular Cleanup Sweep Tasks: Have long been meaning to write up a list of certain auto-sweep tasks, aimed at cleaning up certain things, which could be run regularly (for example, at the start of the month). Examples include the triple line break check (for dealing with extra line breaks that have been unintentionally been added to articles by mobile edits due to a quirk of the mobile editor) or a check for non-visible elements (appearing as a red dot when syntax highlighting is on, sometimes added along with certain copy-pastes and other edits, and causing editor cursor displacement problems, taking up extra space and other problems).
 * Cleanup Template: There have been a few cases where the cleanup template has been used for sections high up on pages (where an infobox or similar is likely to be) and, due to the template spanning nearly the whole width and performing a break, resulted in a huge space between header and content appearing as a result of use (e.g. Fairy, Principles). Briefly considered the possibility of making a smaller version that doesn't break specifically for such sections (similar to Expand although that one might be used to fulfil the function instead).
 * Table Paragraph Spacing

Preview Override Experiment Notes

 * The preview for both Template:Blogs and Blog:Recent Posts starts from the end of the last . The preview override utilizes this to control the preview and ensure that another, less relevent part of the post is not used for the preview instead.
 * If there is absolutely nothing between the last pair of center tags, the preview will not start from them.
 * From preliminary experiment, having a hidden note in between a pair of center tags, even if the hidden note brackets don't have anything between them, will trigger the preview override effect.
