Series Three Overhaul Project - Loose Notes (28/08/2020) These are some loose notes concerning the Series Three Overhaul Project (STOP), as of August 28th 2020.

Notices
For the first time in quite a while, the end of the month manga updates have only involved one ongoing work, Railgun, following the conclusion of Accelerator and Astral Buddy last month. The next BD release also means the release of a new chapter for the Agnese SS. Information processing and implementation for these and GT2, as well as the ongoing Dream Ranker Arc in Railgun T (which has reached the events surrounding the Doppelganger), are continuing much the same as usual.

Although the switch-over to the UCP mentioned in the previous post has not occurred yet, it will be coming soon, so we should make sure we are prepared. A call for potential volunteers to assist the core contributors has been made, though unfortunately only three have answered (and only two properly) so far.

Assorted Rough Notes
Given current and overall circumstances, this time I'm going to gradually gather an assortment of notes on various subjects from various plans and places here. These may concern possibilities being considered for future plans and actions, certain tendencies and protocols for which the updated guides have not been finished yet, certain reasons for certain practices, and more.


 * Unanswered Questions: One of the potential ideas which I've had on the backburner for a while involves a possibility for Unanswered Questions, which has only been implemented on four of the Accelerator episode articles. It involves a mechanism using span tags so that when the cursor hovers over the text of the unanswered question, a display pops up to show where the question is answered, if it has been answered.
 * For example, in of Accelerator, the following text produces the following results (hover to see display):
 * Why does Hishigata want Misaka 10046?
 * Why does Hishigata want Misaka 10046?.
 * Although not fully assessed, for light novel chapters or manga chapters, the format for the displays could be something like "Answered in Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index Volume 22 Chapter 4 Part 5" or "Answered in Toaru Kagaku no Railgun Chapter 124".
 * Jump Points in Articles: One other idea involving span tags which I have previously considered is for jump points which redirects can be linked to (or inputs made in the address bar), in order to jump a specific, relevant part in the middle of a large section, rather than use a header unnecessarily. It has been tried out in only a few places, such as with the Jailbreaker Arc's "Type" robots or for certain bits of Aleister's Plan. However, the method does not work for content within collapsible tables. For example, the following text is used for "Type: Giant Centipede":
 * Type: Giant Centipede (タイプ:ジャイアントセンチピード)
 * Type: Giant Centipede (タイプ:ジャイアントセンチピード)
 * Redirect Destination: Jailbreaker Arc
 * Size of Images in Articles: There are recommended and usual image sizes for images positioned within the main text of an article (i.e. outside of the infobox, navboxes, design galleries or tables), though these are not absolutes. The image should not be excessively large or small, and it is generally best to stick to the recommended sizes, but deviations can be made depending on the circumstances surrounding the location in which the image is being placed (e.g. the layout/size of the surrounding text, being in the opening or the body), so long as they are sensible.
 * The recommended size is a typical anime episode screenshot with standard dimensions is 220px, with a variance range between 200-250px (e.g. a slightly larger one might be permissible for the first image in the opening paragraph).
 * Images in Tables: Images are not usually placed in tables in articles and this is the case for most articles, however they may be placed in certain cases depending on the subject matter of the article, such as for the tables on the merchandise pages. The two main cases for main subject articles are the recently overhauled Daihaseisai and Indian Poker.
