User blog:Inept Wiki User/STOP Notes (24/06/2021)

Series Three Overhaul Project - Loose Notes (24/06/2021) These are some loose notes concerning the Series Three Overhaul Project (STOP) and some other recent stuff on the wiki, as of June 24th 2021.

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

Since the previous two note batch attempts ended up stalling when reviewing and sorting recap notes covering the time period prior to the posts and eating up five or so days, I am going to not have proper recap notes in this post, otherwise the same situation will happen again. The rough notes on this post will act to tide things over and provide something to make progress on, while the recap/review and the tasks/notes which rely on them are being done for a future batch.

=Assorted Notes and Tasklists=

Assorted Notes
Currently compiling
 * Frustrations to be noted some other time
 * FandomDesktop not permitting simultaneous Light/Dark mode setting saves (only one at the moment) on Theme Designer. Experiments on that part delayed. Need to check for other problems that can be dealt with in the meantime. Will record on the previous post dedicated to the subject.
 * The template problem, which caused the template type selection box to pop up every time 'k' was typed in while in the editor, has now been fixed.
 * SD212 and SD213 assigned tasks.
 * Due to a certain disregard concerning the use of TrackTags 21-23 for tracking the IRIs for Description, Source and Purposes on Images, there are cases where the respective IRIs are lacking accompanying tags and tags remaining where the IRIs no longer present. This is partly due to people not removing it when the information is added and the IRI removed, or people copying it when adding the basic framework to new images without fully understanding or remembering what it was for. A series of coordinated sweeps can fix this.
 * Similar case for TT27-29
 * Recent hastiness in creation of certain categories and navboxes and the deletion of certain redirects. Reduce if possible.
 * Minor reminders:
 * Record SD usage for history access in some cases (e.g. sweep aids and I2R)
 * Equals signs cause scroll box malfunctions
 * Data Log Archive

Shared Tasklist
Currently compiling These are tasks that can be done by myself or by other core contributors, or both. Not particularly well-sorted this time and not divided into general and specific.
 * New Releases: Standard approach for this month's Railgun chapter. Verify info regarding Toaru IF 2nd anniversary, within reason.
 * : Intend to gather certain pieces of information separately from the pre-existing tables, as I'm finalizing certain table and cell specifics. The information will be gathered in these separate tables, in whatever form convenient, and once it is all collected there and the details finalized, the information will be converted into the decided form and then transferred. No independent approaches - gather it in the designated separate tables.
 * Point of Release: This table is being used to record the point at which characters were released, e.g. at launch, standard/pick-up gacha, specific events etc, as well as dates.
 * Scene Sources etc: This table is being used to record sources, inspirations, allusions and references, for the gacha images used for the respective characters.


 * Recycled Designs: Record the unused Index design image besides Helcalia's entry in the table, add any other examples and respective images to the table.
 * Non-Standard BTLs: Compile list of non-standard Between the Lines sections and similar non-standard end-of-chapter attachments.
 * Cryptography: Gather notes regarding subjects and instances in the series pertaining to cryptography, codes and the like. Might transfer to another SD depending on the circumstances, but gathering data here for now.
 * Cryptography: Gather notes regarding subjects and instances in the series pertaining to cryptography, codes and the like. Might transfer to another SD depending on the circumstances, but gathering data here for now.


 * : Gather notes regarding subjects and relevant instances in the series regarding the human body.
 * Uncertain where to gather blood-related stuff on SD201 or on, but intended for it to be assembled somewhere. Not every single instance of blood, bleeding or bloodshed - subjects and relevant instances, similar to with the Human Body.


 * / - GT4 Plans: Manual GT4 arc name po-ll to be initiated within the next few days
 * Did You Know?: Consider potential new items, particularly at least one item for GT2, GT3, GT4, Agnese SS and the First Year Arc. Record and assess any suggestions or considered possibilities.
 * Considering the pelican tidbit as a possibility for GT4.
 * Discuss Threads and Blog Posts: These are not important, but a few ideas for Discuss threads and blog posts which can be made out of curiosity or to bump items down the displayed lists - post-GT4 speculation, GT4 Discuss po-lls with favorites and opinions, and about the 3 'A's in GT4Ep.
 * Template:SD: Minor non-value display issue. gives .  gives.
 * Category:Image Redirects: Do not reduce these redirects, but figure out a way to get the text for the redirects visible again on the category page (only showing the images at the moment)(recall seeing underscore/capital mediawiki-related code that might be able to do it). Note difference between Image Redirects and Redirect Images in the category description.

Personal Tasklists
This is stuff which I need to do or set my bot to do.

Personal Tasklist:
 * Regex: Study regex required for various sweep-based adjustment experiments. SD213 assigned to task.
 * Tasks being considered for regex application include gallery and thumbnail parameter reordering. TT51's task also considered.
 * TrackTags: Review and sort TrackTags, and update Overview.
 * Sweep Aid Lists: On July 1st, assign new Shared Draft to the task and recreate "All Page/All File" sweep aid lists from scratch from updated source list, then possibly archive the previous versions from the other SDs with links as per reminder above. It might be an idea to postpone auto-sweeps until this point to aid their coverage and progress.
 * New Files, Filters, Videos/Dates, for Video list
 * Double-check the redirects to make sure all categorized appropriately
 * Multi-Staged TSPs: Have previously been doing TSPs (temporary summary placeholder) in multiple stages of refinement and completion, to tide certain sections over at appropriate points in time while other stuff is being worked on (time/work management). Basic ones were recently done for some of the remaining GT4 Chronologies to have something there and dissuade slipshod additions (e.g. Zombie's) while other stuff is being focused on, then at a later time it will be improved to tide over further, in stages until it is complete. Need to do the other GT4 tide-overs.
 * Featured Article: It has been two months since update and at the start of July, it'll be time for a new one. Had intended to make more progress before this point, but given circumstances, will need something simple. Will have to choose one requiring minimal new effort, to buy more time for later.
 * Considering Cannibalization, Bunny Grey, Element, Wheel Snake as possibilities. The drafts for these are largely ready. Others either don't have their ones ready or need work done on articles.
 * Auto-Sweep Tasks: Need to replenish stock of the auto-sweep tasks that can be assigned to the bot, so it can be busy and useful doing stuff while I'm spending time and struggling on other tasks - that way at least something can be done even if I end up not making much progress on the manual tasks.
 * Recap Notes: Get these done properly while this batch of notes and tasks is tiding things over.
 * Need to finish the previous posts where and when appropriate.
 * Review-Prerequisite Tasks: Complete recap/review/reorganization for tasks which require it before their continuation and/or the transmission of information and instructions to fellow users.
 * Communication: Work on finding the right words and conveying certain things to certain other users, core and otherwise.
 * FandomDesktop: Identify and record all issues and differences between Oasis and FandomDesktop skins, and resolve where possible. Default switch-over is set to happen on June 29th.

Auto-Sweep Tasklist: All Page/All File or Selection
 * References
 * "Between the lines" to "Between the Lines"
 * "ChXBTL" to "BTL"
 * "Chapter X Between the Lines" to" Between the Lines"
 * "Chap5P"-"Chap9P" sweeps
 * "NTMajutsuNovel" to "ShinyakuV"
 * "MajutsuNovel" to "IndexV" (after above and after exceptions - e.g. the SSs)
 * "MajutsuCh" to "IndexCh"
 * "KagakuManga" to "Railgun"/"Accelerator"/"Accel"
 * "KagakuCh" to "RailgunCh"/"AccelCh"
 * "ChXpt" to "ChXPt"
 * "yenpress_=_" to "yenpress="


 * Images
 * TT21-23 IRI Updates (TT21/22/23 IRI target sweeps)
 * If correct parameters, switch TT (mid-word) to another TT
 * Remove TT from other instances
 * Perform All File sweep for instances and tag with TT
 * Switch back the items which had their tags switched in the first step
 * TT51: If regex approach not followed.
 * Successive sweeps utilizing likely non-thumbnail endings and recording results. Would be somewhat slow. Time and effort could be saved by working out the regex approach for identifying thumbnail and non-thumbnail tagged items (e.g. ID instances between ... where no "File:" or find all ? where ? lower case).
 * Redirect Images
 * Verify SD151 lists are up-to-date then use as the list for category auto-sweep
 * Navbox Images
 * If decided upon, the sweep-based template raw data separation method which was used to get a page list in a form suitable for MassEdit can be used to get a list of files from the raw navbox data. Would not resolve the potential problem noted previously regarding users not changing or recording things properly when swapping images - need to think about a solution to that a bit more.
 * Anime Image Collections
 * Use these collections for sweep lists in order to check that the respective images' Sources are all in order.
