Series Three Overhaul Project - Loose Notes (22/07/2022) These are some loose notes concerning the Series Three Overhaul Project (STOP) and other recent stuff on the wiki, as of July 22nd 2022.

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= Although I haven't got everything I wanted to write this time written down, I'll have to wrap it up for this time, otherwise it will end up taking until the time for the next lot. I don't want an immediate repeat of the circumstances surrounding the 15th's lot.

Terms connected to 2019-2022 releases tagged as needing Nihongo, noted here due to circumstances: (might be long-term backburner tasks depending on circumstances)
 * School District 6: Otherworld Capital Station
 * Sakibasu Yuri: Witch & Psychic
 * Stativarius: Almati, Guarnari
 * Club Psychedelic Beach: Club Psychedelic Beach
 * L.S.S.: Street Corner Kitten Show, Animal Protection Fund
 * Grapple: MilliPhone 15 High End

Minor Unsorted Notes:
 * Due to present circumstances, some large-scale tasks might need to be semi-conducted, with a time note to revisit later for data logging and further processing.
 * I might carry out some ad-hoc (rather than pre-planned) editing sessions to de-stress from the month's events.
 * I haven't carried forward the odd job from a month or so ago regarding likely grammatical errors, as it would have taken too much time and focused work, given the circumstances and the other work in need of it. However, it is noted that such grammatical errors are likely to have occurred in the pre-2015 stuff.
 * Need to get notes together regarding the Regex wishlist and attempted formulas. A proficiency query has been considered, but is not going to be acted on now.
 * Edit (27/07/2022): Given circumstances, two character articles have been created for unnamed members of Shokuhou's clique, under the temporary titles Glasses Clique Girl and Clique Spy. Am personally hoping that at least part of their names become known as soon as possible.
 * Several subjects considered for this post have not had their STOP Notes notes written. Given the circumstances, they will have to wait for now.

Slider
As mentioned in previous posts since May and as shown above, the front page's Slider template is still non-functional. Brief investigations have been carried out into ways to get it working again. Earlier in the month, a similar working template (one from which the one from which this one was derived) was located. A cursory look at that particular template's history indicates no edits since a few years ago (i.e. no edits to the template to fix the problem that has befallen our one). This seems to suggest that either an amendment was made elsewhere on that wiki, or there is a difference in volume or structure between our template and that one that means that it did not experience the same problem ours did.

Image Notes
The next IF pick-up gacha at time of writing has Tsuchimikado Motoharu, Aogami Pierce and Aleister Crowley. File:Shutaura Sequenzia Railgun.png and File:Hokaze's battle with the glasses-wearing girl.jpg have been considered as potentially needing text removal.
 * Edit (25/07/2022): A collab between IF and Mahouka Reloaded Memory has been revealed. At the time of writing, the promotional image had been seen, but not the characters in the gacha this time around.
 * Edit (27/07/2022): Images revealed. Data to be added in due course for both sides.

In a few days, the new manga chapter s will be released and information concerning potential future image candidates will emerge. GT7 is still a long way off, however it is anticipated that some more images relating to the Bridge Builders Cabal might arise, and with any luck, we might see one of them as a group.

SD262, Alternative Cover Images requiring Sources
Many of the odd jobs in the next section are noted as involving images. One of the tasks which had been considered involved adding in the source links for files under Category:Alternative Cover Images lacking them, both the volume link and website links for any files which were acquired from websites.

However, after looking back at the upload history, it was realized that Ollerus had uploaded the majority of them (and inquiries confirmed they still had data/memories for them), so it was decided that it would be best to leave the task of adding in any site source links to them. On the 22nd, after another look at the overall list and a slight rearrange, the volume quick links were implemented via coordinated auto-sweeps (first the frame and the number), for all but three of them.

The data is assembled on and Ollerus is tasked with adding in the website source links where appropriate.

July 13th Odd Jobs
Due to circumstances on July 13th, a set of Odd Job posts were created, connected to assigned Shared Drafts and threads as part of an experiment, for people to do while the primary contributors are busy on tasks requiring much more focus, concentration, care, attention and work overall. Below are links to the ready posts in that batch:
 * Anime Image Sources
 * Images with Categories above Licensing
 * List Assembly, Pages with Railgun T Images
 * Mid-Paragraph Images

Other linked messages and threads have been considered but not decided upon.

Edit (13/08/2022): Experimental thread created after considerable delay and hesitation. Several considered aspects have not worked out. Will see how things turn out.

TrackTagX
Following an assessment of overall circumstances, a set of nine special TrackTags were created in the middle of the month - the X series (experimental). These multi-purpose tags can be used as a standard TrackTag might, but they can also surround a target while also displaying it.

There are multiple reasons for this course of action. Due to stuff over the past few months, certain ongoing tasks which are using the standard TrackTags have needed to be delayed while the tags still need to be kept in use, and there are a number of upcoming tasks which will need TrackTags - when few of them are free and it might be a problem to get more free in a hurry, as well as the creation of more just-regular tags being a bit problematic. The new tags create a bit of breathing room - however, while they can fulfil the function of standard TrackTags, they are capable of other functions as well.

Of the various tasks being considered, there are several which involve the creation of templates that enclose and display, but for which the specifics are not finalized - the tags can be used as both a placeholder and for quick implementation. For other tasks, they can also be used to break a structure matching sweep criteria, to keep certain items from being inadvertently being caught up in the sweeps and complicating the task. There are likely other uses which have not been recalled on the spot.

=Post-Posting Notes=
 * Temporary section for storing certain notes compiled after this lot's posting, prior to the completion and posting of the next batch.
 * STOP Notes (01/08/2022) is now gathering post-posting notes.
 * Glasses Clique Girl/Clique Spy/Asato Kisa: Personalities

=End Notes=
 * User actions over past month(s), inadvertently(?) causing problems, giving grief, forcing time/effort to be diverted and disrupting work progress, plus heat and infection = quite cross/depressed
