User blog:Inept Wiki User/STOP Notes (03/03/2023)

Series Three Overhaul Project - Loose Notes (03/03/2023) These are some loose notes concerning the Series Three Overhaul Project (STOP) and other recent stuff on the wiki, as of March 3rd 2023.

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.

Notices

 * Wiki currently log-in-only due to persistent anonymous vandalism, and will remain so until further notice.
 * Such vandalism will not be tolerated and offenders are liable to be blocked.
 * Regarding online release of Toaru Kagaku no Mental Out in Comic Newtype, only the two most recent releases will be available on the site.

Reminders
Compilation incomplete (20/03/2023)
 * Points below carried forward from previous post.

Images:
 * When uploading a new image, name it appropriately, according to its subject matter.
 * When uploading a new image, remember to include the appropriate Summary, Licensing and category framework. Remember to include the appropriate information (including Description, Source and Purpose in Summary) where possible, and if not possible, use the appropriate ImageReqInfo sub-tags so they can be processed later.
 * When uploading a new version of an image, if the image's source differs from the previous version (e.g. a different volume/chapter/episode, a different website in the case of a cover etc), remember to update the Source information.
 * When uploading a new version of an image, avoid unnecessary size expansion - the image just has to be big enough to fulfil its purpose, not be ginormous (if it has little details that can be picked out besides the main one, fair enough, but otherwise...).
 * Refrain from unnecessary image uploading.
 * When processing the unprocessed content below TrackTag30 into the standard image information structure, don't forget to remove the TT30 structure after the stuff has been properly processed.

Other:
 * When you add information to an article or move information around, remember to include the appropriate references along with it.
 * When adding information from source material to an article, avoid copying entire sentences/paragraphs one-to-one.
 * Template:TwTrack was recently implemented to track the wiki's Twitter links. If you are adding in new ones, don't forget the tag as well.
 * This wiki does not use "Male Characters" or "Female Characters" categories. Do not add these in. Additionally, given past and present circumstances, repeated attempts to do so regardless may be considered attempted vandalism.

Toaru Anbu no Item
The of Toaru Anbu no Item will be released in a week's time, with a preview on Bookwalker. As per new volume protocol, page edits and image uploads pertaining to the volume's content are restricted until the volume's content has been fully processed. Article comments pertaining to the volume's content are also to be avoided. In the meantime, as per new volume protocol, the plans relating to the volume are to be developed and discussed on the plans post linked above.

Item-related Notes
Regarding the letter-case discrepancy:
 * This is something which arose at some point prior to 2013 (and addressed elsewhere since at least that time). The exact origin of the discrepancy has not been fully determined, though a few likely candidates have been considered.
 * This is something which I have been planning to tackle for years, though various factors had forced it onto the backburner (along with multiple other long-considered plans). Now, given the timing and certain circumstances which might mitigate the potential problems which may result from not doing this carefully and without certain preparations, I am planning to execute the plan once the new volume restrictions are lifted.
 * The bulk of the adjustments will not been done by auto-sweep rather than regular manual user edits, and for follow-up purposes, it will be better if there are minimal deviations from this plan.

Edit (19/03/2023): Non-arc name restrictions lifted.

Assorted Notes
Compilation incomplete (20/03/2023)

Chronology-related, Arc Division Checks
The following items require Chronology arc sub-section division checks (i.e. make sure that headers and main links for all of the arcs which properly featured the subject are present in the respective Chronology sub-sections). Particularly for OT/NT for the below:
 * Imaginary Number District
 * Urban Legend
 * Bank

Table-related

 * Science: This is a general information aggregation task. There is a table which includes various fields of science mentioned in the series - if there are any scientific fields which have been mentioned by name in the series and they are not on the table in some form, add them in.
 * Urban Legend:
 * Several table entries under the 'General' table are not yet completed.
 * Make sure that all entries under Academy City Urban Legends are definitely AC-exclusive (e.g. Sandal Granny)
 * Heaven Canceller's Hospital: Verify that the patient/hospitalization table details are up-to-date.
 * Alice Anotherbible, Trivia: Several table descriptions are not yet complete.

Odd Jobs, Previous Tasks, Details Not Carried Forward
The following odd jobs present in the previous notes batch are ongoing, but I'm not carrying forward the relevant item lists for now - see the link above to the previous batch's Odd Jobs sub-section and the following:
 * Mid-Paragraph Images
 * Infobox Debut Entries, Quick-Link Conversion (TT23/TT42)
 * UQ Verification List (TT65 /TT95 )
 * Identifying Anime Images with Channel Watermarks
 * QuoteTrack

NeedNihongo, Carried Forward
Required Nihongo to be found in the respective source volume text (as in, look in the book itself, rather than a second-hand reference).
 * Alice Anotherbible: Wonders
 * Club Psychedelic Beach: Club Psychedelic Beach
 * L.S.S.: Street Corner Kitten Show, Animal Protection Fund
 * Sakibasu Yuri: Witch & Psychic
 * Stativarius: Almati, Guarnari
 * Trismegistus: Random Numbers

Information Verification

 * Enjou Kasumi: There is a naming discrepancy between Volume 17 releases. Need to go over all raw cases tied to her name (Volume 17 and others) to verify details.
 * Edit (13/03/2023): Unable to verify with available information at present. Delayed until further notice.
 * Yasu: Hand gesture (are there any references outside of recent fiction and popular culture (e.g. Naruto)? i.e. make certain there is no background or history before then)
 * Asai: Definitely a rope in his weapon? Exact weapon term?
 *  (Category:Artwork by Hibipon): Verifying Virtuaroids in respective chapter images and note on respective Descriptions. Would like to get this one done and dusted as soon as possible, due to a slight downside of the monitoring/check method.
 * A temporary fix to the downside has been found.
 * A temporary fix to the downside has been found.

Information Collection/Assembly

 * Q&A/Twitter Notes - (Ogino)/ (Nogi): General update following further Q&A sessions (links and discussed content).
 * , Unnamed clique members - Sha Danshan's Clique, Mikagami Nagisa's Clique, Hasekura Reiri's Clique: General identification of unnamed clique members which have not been identified so far, assembly of data and writing regarding the unnamed clique members (particularly information pertaining to Appearance, Personality and Abilities).
 * - Characters, Debut-Name Long Gap: Review of past examples and data recording.

Image Tasklist

 * As mentioned many times previously, the below are generally suggested candidates as opposed to strict necessities.
 * A fair number of these have been carried forward from the previous notes post.
 * Various specifics are still being calculated, so the contents of the tables will likely be subject to change with additional candidates and specifics being added.
 * For images relating to Toaru Anbu no Item, see section above - bear in mind, these are subject to new volume protocol and restrictions.
 * The odd jobs involving mid-paragraph images and identifying anime images with channel watermarks are covered in the section above.

Temporary Storage

 * Unsorted/unprocessed notes
 * Empty table sample


 * 4th: An experiment regarding a specialized TrackTag (TclTrack) which could also keep transclusion targets' categories etc from affecting the transclusion destination failed to affect the transclusion target, and required noinclude to be included (after the tracking tag but ahead of the first category) on the target.
 * Unfortunately, this method doesn't cover IRI's categorization and the way in which IRI is used means that the noinclude would have to be high-up to affect it (as opposed to low-down like the categories) - which would prevent the tranclusion of most of the other stuff, defeating the purpose.
 * 5th: -/+ diffhist comparison list comparison method
 * 7th: Method for obtaining list of articles which are batch of images are present on. Transclusions of Special:WLHs are possible. Navbox cases are included rather than being excluded.
 * Have used a list processed into transclusions to acquire a preliminary list of articles which have Railgun T images (an old task).
 * Namespace and size control not possible in WLH transclusion.
 * 10th: Recheck of OT22's untranslated source text, voice details and other stuff led Ollerus and myself to the realization that the Item liaison and the helmeted woman are most likely different individuals - a separation has been performed with a quick adjustment of associated text, images and other details in articles (some of the finer details might still be untweaked).
 * 11th/12th: Low
 * 12-14th: Case notice


 * 19th/20th: Indiscretion cases
 * 20th: Log loss mitigation experiment
 * 21st: Minor tweak/revert in header on Mikoto's page
