User blog:Inept Wiki User/STOP Notes (03/02/2023)

Series Three Overhaul Project - Loose Notes (03/02/2023) These are some loose notes concerning the Series Three Overhaul Project (STOP) and other recent stuff on the wiki, as of February 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, for Chapters 7 onward, only the two most recent releases will be available on the site.

Reminders

 * Points below carried forward from previous post with exception of point regarding TrackTag30 and paraphrasing.

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.
 * 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.

Assorted Notes

 * Given current circumstances, better sorting and organization likely won't be possibly within this batch's construction timeframe.

Priority Task: Unnamed Clique Members

 * A recent task which is still ongoing is the assembly of image and information tables on SD202 (First Year Arc) and SD217 (Mental Out) for the currently unnamed clique members.
 * TT18 is being used to make specific points concerning these individuals in chapter articles and other similar areas, using a code reference system linked to the tables.
 * Identification and assembly of information is currently ongoing.
 * Besides a basic image, the tables are intended to include notes on their Appearance, Personality, Abilities etc (the stuff which would normally go into a character article), as well as a list of their appearances in chapters.
 * Hope to get done before the release of Railgun Volume 18. It is anticipated that another batch of student names will be revealed, much like with Volume 17, and additional work is already underway for the big three cliques which could do with this task being done.
 * Preliminary tables processed and added to clique articles on February 14th, but further expansion and revision is still needed.

Tasks to be done:
 * Priority: Assembly and writing of Appearance, Personality and Abilities notes.
 * Verification and identification of unnamed clique members in the First Year Arc and Tokiwadai Election Arc which haven't been covered by the tables yet.

Manga Synopsis-related

 * This is tied to recent Synopsis additions by Herald and our other associated work.
 * The status of the Chronology sections tied to the Jailbreaker and Astral Buddy Arcs (the ones whose chapters had additions then) was checked and a list write-up was being done with the last batch (to get a good idea of where we are at and what we might need), but wasn't done in time before this post.

Jailbreaker Arc, identifided for major Chronology revision:

Astral Buddy Arc, Major Revision or Expansion:

Astral Buddy Arc, Minor Tweaking and Checking:

Unsorted

 * Specialized tracking tag Template:TwTrack has been created and assigned to the task of tracking the wiki's external Twitter http links, ahead of future work. The links have been identified and tagged by sweeps during the early part of the month, but if any fresh ones are added, please remember to add the tag in front of it, otherwise those cases will slip through the cracks and the future work will be disrupted.
 * Heaven Canceller's Hospital: Verify the patient/hospitalization table details are up-to-date.
 * Imaginary Number District: Requires OT/NT Chronology 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)(Priority)
 * Urban Legend:
 * Priority: Requires OT/NT Chronology 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)
 * 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)
 * Alice Anotherbible, Trivia: Several table descriptions not yet complete.


 * 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?
 * Maid: Temporarily redirecting to Maid Uniform, given assessment of circumstances am planning to make an article. Carrying out linking sequence prior to article development.
 * Enjou Kasumi: Need to go over all cases tied to her name to verify details. Unable to verify at present. Disregard for now.
 * Enjou Kasumi: Need to go over all cases tied to her name to verify details. Unable to verify at present. Disregard for now.

Odd Jobs

 * These are a number of odd jobs, some of which are recent and some of which have been mentioned before. They have been listed here because it would be useful to get them done and dusted in order to aid the work we are doing at the moment and the work soon to come.
 * SD266 has been assigned to collecting and monitoring the images on the wiki which have elements in them which have been left in not because they are wanted but because of the problems in removing them. However, this task is being excluded from inclusion in this section.
 * Carried forward to March

Mid-Paragraph Images

 * previously assigned to this odd job last July.

Infobox Debut Entries, Quick-Link Conversion

 * (Done, tag now re-assigned to another task)
 * (Done, tag now re-assigned to another task)

UQ Verification List

 * Shared Drafts previously assigned to this task last August:
 * UQs for Processing, Likely Answered
 * UQs for Processing, Likely Unanswered
 * Samples extracted from below for log purposes.

Identifying Anime Images with Channel Watermarks

 * Task newly assigned to.
 * Involves going through the anime images extracted from the respective image categories in galleries in the bottom half of Shared Draft 286, finding the images which have a broadcast channel watermark (e.g. MBS, Tokyo MX etc), and transferring those images to the respective 'sorted' galleries in the top half of the Shared Draft.

NeedNihongo

 * Carried forward task.

Required Nihongo to be found in the respective source volume text.
 * 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

QuoteTrack

 * In the scroll box below is a list of all articles with temporary tracking template QuoteTrack present.
 * The initial phase was to switch existing tracking tags which were tracking the Quotes headers to this template.
 * The next phase is to switch from the header to the quotes (for tracking, data acquisition and operational markers).
 * This will not be the last phase of the operation. Details will be omitted from this section for the time being.

For example

Quotes

 * "Quote 0"
 * Quoter 1: "Quote"
 * Quoter 2: "Quote" - Label
 * Quoter 3: "Quote" - Label

to

Quotes



 * 500/611 total cases in header

Image Tasklist

 * As mentioned many times previously, the below are generally suggested candidates as opposed to strict necessities.
 * A large portion of these are tied to our general work on the ongoing manga arcs and Herald's recent manga Synopsis work.
 * Many specifics are still being calculated, so the contents of the tables will likely be subject to change with additional candidates and specifics being added.

Temporary Storage (Carried Forward)

 * Possibility of expand-type TrackTag around Design/Art-type Level 2+ headers?
 * Possibility of expand-type tracking around selected tables? Encompassing-type doesn't work
 * Decapitation of Ruby at top of some pages (e.g. Shadow Metal) Just me
 * Premature unhiding or improper unhiding/conversion of hidden notes recently
 * Premature removal of Expand/Cleanup templates
 * Possibility of two step variable temporary position tag template
 * File link references, recent/previous, monitoring
 * Direct paraphrasing without modification, reminder


 * 02/02:
 * SD266 re-assigned to collecting and monitoring images with difficult-to-remove parts
 * Image and Image Page, Table Quick Reference Display method devised (problems with header/categories being inserted as well - contents/category override?)
 * FB

Temporary Storage (Non-Carried Forward)

 * Konori Mii: Ability addition on 14th a bit too close to source text, requires some rewording and adjustment.


 * Character/Organization Infoboxes: Minor size tweaks to a couple of labels on February 16th, specifically designating a percentage of the regular size - the objective was to shrink it sufficiently that a long(ish) word in the label would no longer be split across multiple lines but at the same time keep the change barely noticeable visually (i.e. the minimum shrinkage required to achieve the desired result).


 * Looking into alternative mass extraction methods.
 * 21st: Database back-up updated
 * Possibility of a group reflist template for functional and tracking purposes
 * Investigate possibilities for transcluding only one section of an article
 * Investigate possibilities for preventing a transcluded article/section/template's category from categorizing the page they are transcluded to without any tweaks on the transcluded material's original page (i.e. only on the destination page).
 * 23rd: SD264 assigned to "Transclusion Experiments", SD270 assigned to "Potential Future Subjects, Information Assembly"
 * 23rd-: Q&A session, temporary information limitations
 * 23rd: Accidental sweep on main rather than bot
 * 24th: Item preview released, new volume protocol enacted
 * 24th: Have seen potential sweep-related problem with files having spaces in categories before the words
 * Resolved via auto-sweep on 25th (AllMain and AllFile)
 * 25th-26th: Potential quick notes post?


 * 28th: Paraphrasing, contingencies
