User blog:Inept Wiki User/STOP Notes (24/12/2020)

Series Three Overhaul Project - Loose Notes (24/12/2020) These are some loose notes concerning the Series Three Overhaul Project (STOP), as of December 24th 2020.

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

Assorted Rough Notes

 * Recent and Upcoming Releases: Chapter 155 of the Index manga came out earlier in the month, with Chapter 130 of Railgun due on Boxing Day. On Christmas Day, the final BD for Railgun T is coming out, which includes the Director's Cut of the final episode and the final chapter of the Agnese SS. A Toaru IF stream is going to be on December 28th.
 * Christmas Item: This is somewhat late, but I was wondering about doing something extra for Christmas. Unfortunately, the stuff that could be presented as a Christmas gift to the wiki isn't at a stage where it is ready for that, no Christmassy articles are in a state where they could be Featured, and with everything that has been going on, there isn't enough time to prepare something properly. Large items (e.g. Exploring Bases-type) are unfeasible and the new type of polls are restricted (and I'm not sure what to ask), so I've decided on asking about peoples' hopes for the future of Toaru series (both in and out of the story), together with a slideshow of Christmassy Toaru images (mainly characters in Santa outfits).
 * Previously Mentioned Ongoing Tasks: The pre-2014 anime image collection assembly is continuing, with Kaysuami part-way through the one for the first Railgun anime. The Dark Side individual table has characters from A to Z though a few tasks may still be needed. Shared Draft reorganization still needs work. Nogi Q&As need a few quick notes on context, as do a number of Ogino's. Going to need to start to log carry-forward errors properly and make preparations for a comment clean-up operation.
 * Disambiguations: A new navbox has been created by Ollerus and implemented on the disambiguation pages.
 * Operation Handcuffs Arc, Infobox Image: Seeing as the existing singular images didn't really fit for the infobox image for the Operation Handcuffs Arc article, we've done a few experiments for a modified combination image. From the initial ideas, Kaysuami and Ollerus made several candidates, and we've since decided on which one to use.
 * Design Image File/Collection Processing: The existing artist's comments which are on the file pages themselves were assembled, and we've identified which files are with and without them. A number of sweeps have been run to translate and unify some of the previous file pages marked with TT30 into the D/S/P/AC format. Additionally, Rainbow Spectrum links have been added to the files lacking them for Source and the existing ones have been updated where required. A number of discrepancies and stuff for further work have been identified (though sweep methods may need a bit of working out).

Location-related
A repeat of the few notes from last time regarding the Locations idea on the backburner.
 * Academy City District-Unconfirmed Locations: One of the plans I've had on the backburner is to assemble a list of Academy City locations, for which it has not been confirmed which School District they are in, and put it in a table on the main Academy City page.
 * Edit (26/12/2020): Implemented
 * School District 7's Location Table: When tables were implemented for the Locations sections for the other School Districts, School District 7 was left out because of the more complex layout, requiring some time to think about how to do the table layout(s). A decision has not been reached yet. SD79 was previously assigned for data assembly.
 * Country Location Tables: Another location-related plan which was on the backburner, due to needing to collect data on existing sections and uncertainty over some of the specifics, was to implement Location tables for the other countries besides Academy City, similar to the ones in use for the School Districts, to list settlements and non-settlement locations in those countries that are featured in the series, as well as notes concerning them (this includes locations for which the information is insufficient for an article). SD158 was previously assigned for data assembly.

28/12/2020 Temporary Notes
Currently compiling
 * Odd Jobs during Planning and Reorganization: Seeing as planning and reorganization takes a while, and some tasks cannot proceed until it has been completed, I am planning to bring up a number of other tasks which have been on the backburner for people to tackle if they wish during that time, so that progress can still made in some form.
 * I've recently been considering the possibility of making extensive Odd Jobs lists monthly.
 * Recent and New Images: Image work connected to the new chapter releases have been done (Railgun Ch130 (cover/flashback) and Agnese SS Ch8). This morning, Kaysuami replaced the Agnese Forces trio's novel profile images with extracts from the Agnese SS cover, making a note on the Shared Draft and categorizing the new images as Profile Pictures (category remains on previous images). New images to look out for are ones connected to the Toaru IF stream; the ones for the new characters, character variations and events announced then (including the New Years event and Imaginary Wars, New Years Uiharu, Saten and Kongou, Fiamma, Niang-Niang, High Priest, Lucia and Juufuku Miho, and the "arrow" phone collab Shokuhou and Mikoto). Another upcoming task may be to check how many instances and variations there are for images of cloning/incubation tanks in manga and anime (both existing on the wiki at the moment and not). Given the flashback shown in the Index manga recently, I suspect we may see images of the figures involved in the Knights of Orleans incident.
 * SD152/171 Status: Source and Artist's Comments-related sweeps were carried out a few days ago. There is a list of items which are being given additional checks manually. To some extent, I've lost my place a bit, but should recap and recover soon. Once the current step is complete, the next step will be to assemble lists of the following; which images have and haven't got Description entries, which images have and haven't got Purpose entries, which images have non-standard labelling in the artist-related area on their file page, which images have breaks and line spaces in the artist-related area on their file page, which images don't have Artist's Comments on their file page at present.
 * SD172 being used for partial offload/side-organization
 * Non-AC Country Locations: A list of locations has been assembled on SD158, to be processed further.
 * New Year, New Threads: I intend to start the new iterations of the general discussion threads on New Years Day
 * New Year, Sweep Aid Update: I also intend to carry out an update of the sweep aid lists from the AllPages extract.
 * SD46/Cite-related: List of currently active Cite template placements on SD46 updated on 30/12/2020
 * Category: Symbols: Planning to make a category for Symbols for symbol images in Category:Banners and Flags to be transferred to.
 * Done by Ollerus (01/01/2021)
