User blog:Inept Wiki User/STOP Notes (10/12/2021)

Series Three Overhaul Project - Loose Notes (10/12/2021) These are some loose notes, tasks and instructions concerning the Series Three Overhaul Project (STOP) and other recent stuff on the wiki, as of December 10th 2021.

Due to circumstances at present, both on and off the wiki, these notes will not be particularly well sorted for now. This time will also be a fairly rough and quick one.

Toaru Series, Recent and Upcoming

 * Recent Manga Releases:, ,
 * Recent LN Volume:
 * Toaru IF Latest: Christmas Delivery

GT5 Reminders
has just been released and as per standard wiki protocol, article edits and image uploads involving GT5 story-related content are prohibited until the volume is fully processed. In the meantime, see the plan thread here for future details, including plans and discussions relating to GT5.

SDs 234 and 235 have been assigned for related preparations. The Rainbow Spectrum end will likely be updating in a week.

Please structure comments and discussions in order to minimize spoiler presence outside of the plan thread and on SocialActivity.

Note: Spoiler tag and spoiler block templates are not functioning within comments or Discuss, so they won't help to conceal spoiler content on there or in Social Activity. Possible alternative approaches include oblique writing or preview-occupying initial waffle (approximately 101 characters worth).

Image Tasklist

 * Candidates for image names for below not set
 * Chapters and episodes given in list are where the subjects in question have appeared.
 * GT5 stuff excluded for now, two related items might be excluded in full.

Toaru IF:
 * Christmas Event: Christmas Delivery
 * Existing Character Variations: Accelerator, Tsuchimikado, Musujime, Etzali

Mental Out Manga:
 * Ch1: Unnamed spy
 * Ch1: Unnamed adversaries
 * Ch1: Confrontation with adversaries
 * Ch3: Broadcast room girls
 * Ch1B/2/4: Unnamed 'victim'

Unsorted
Currently compiling


 * Index Manga Chapters, Adapted From: Adaptation sections need doing for Chapters 133 to 163.
 * SD219 - Flight: Shared Draft recently assigned to information collection task for the subject of 'flight'. The majority of the assembly is still to be carried out.
 * SD244 - Toaru IF Table Placeholder: Stripped down version of the experimental table still needs to have the non-event release (the regular/normal gacha updates) characters noted.
 * The #, Image, Character and Type columns won't have any work complications - it is Title and Notes which are being worked on, in a multi-step approach.
 * Inappropriate Actions: There have been a few inappropriate actions recently, which might require a few counter-preparations and contingencies to mitigate.
 * STOP Navbox Cleanup: The STOP navbox is getting a bit messy, so I've been considering ways to clean it up a bit.
 * Partially date optimization carried out.
 * One considered possibility is to convert the navbox to a multi-collapse format (i.e. having the collapsible navbox have several additional collapsible sub-navboxes inside it). Not too sure about the mechanisms.
 * Had been considering experimenting with code on my notepad's data processing sub-page (itself made to keep a certain type of assorted data processing records in one place), however it is also needed for other tasks. Have made a temporary STOP/Draft template for potential experiments as Note/Data is being used for other tasks.
 * Another considered possibility is to add an additional layer of row divisions on the left.
 * On-Spot Edit Rush (OSER): Possible impromptu catalytic operation being considered, possibly with bot assistance in order to prevent RecentChanges clogs.
 * SD56 - Featured Articles: Have been building up draft stock as an odd job (and sometimes as a mental engine catalyst). Am currently considering early 2022 line-up.
 * Plan to continue the 'once-every-two-months' format from this year.
 * Have previously considered selection choices taking into additional account volume occurences (so as not to have too many things from one part of the story at once) and subject matter (magic, science, mix, normal, espers, tech etc) for variety purposes.
 * Some are ready to go, others are not - either FA entry draft-wise or article wise. Previous Featured Articles might be revisited post-overhauls (as was the case with the Windowless Building earlier this year).
 * News Archives/20XX: Have been thinking about the '20XX News' headers in the earlier subpages, what additional purposes they may have served (if at all)(it seems a bit superfluous from a cursory glance, given that the pages don't cover multiple years and there doesn't seem to be other things that might go in them that could use a separate section to themselves, but there may have been some purpose (possibly something was overlooked)), and whether it would be OK to forgo them and bring the other headers up a level.
 * Carried out on 23/12/2021
 * Preview Overrides: Have confirmed that having no text in the center tags means that the preview override effect won't come into place. Have not yet tried with a hidden note.

Minor Mobile Rollback Issue
A minor issue was observed during a post-vandalism rollback via mobile log-in, which caused the infobox on a character page to appear in the following form on Mobile View/Editor: '"`UNIQ--infobox-1-QINU`"' '"`UNIQ--infobox-1-QINU`"'
 * The items either side, which appear as question marks on desktop view, appeared as crossed out boxes on the mobile.
 * The issue does not appear on desktop view.
 * A fresh edit seems to resolve the problem.

Reminders
Carried forward from posts in October and November.

Acronyms/Abbreviations
This is a brief review of certain acronyms (and possibly some abbreviations) commonly used in these notes. Incomplete.
 * STOP: Series Three Overhaul Project - A massive overhaul project which was started in the run-up to 2018-2020's Toaru Anime Project with its three anime series, including Toaru Majutsu no Index III. Although its original hope of getting a majority of stuff in time for the anime was not fulfilled, due to the sheer volume (and in numerous cases, delicacy) of stuff that needed to be carried out, however large-scale and long-term work is still being continued as the third series of the Toaru Majutsu no Index light novels, Souyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index, goes ahead.
 * SD: Shared Draft - A sandbox template used for collaborative draft work between multiple users (hence Shared Draft). They are assigned to specific tasks depending on the need and circumstances.
 * TT: TrackTag - A template placed as a tag to keep track of certain targets that fit a certain target criteria. Their placement enables an up-to-date list of the target items to be maintained and acquired via Special:WhatLinksHere. The tag's currently assigned task is present on their documentation page. Multiple tags are sometimes used for multiple aspects of complex tasks, and their carefully coordinated placement/removal is crucial in order to carry out certain tasks.
 * ECF: Error Carried Forward
 * ACF: Assumption Carried Forward
 * IRI: ImageReqInfo - A tracktag/text display template that is used to track parts of image summaries/licensing that have not been done yet, displaying Information to be added.
 * I2S: Image Information Survey - A large-scale sweep operation which was planned late 2019/early 2020 and performed over a fortnight in late 2020. Its goal was both to get a clear picture of the wiki's image situation (i.e. where the images were at in terms of attached information) and implement a Summary/Licensing/category framework for all the images lacking it - which many people neglecting to do stuff properly when they were uploading/updating images in the previous years, was an awful lot. Supplementary work following the sweep operation is still ongoing, and will be for some considerable time.

Image Summary/Licensing/Categories and Tagging
This is a reminder about certain procedures with regards to images and their tagging.

TrackTags involved:
 * TT21: Used to keep track of Description entries that currently just have ImageReqInfo as a placeholder and tracking tag
 * TT22: Used to keep track of Source entries that currently just have ImageReqInfo as a placeholder and tracking tag
 * TT23: Used to keep track of Purpose entries that currently just have ImageReqInfo as a placeholder and tracking tag
 * TT27: Used to keep track of Description entries done prior to the Image Information Survey.
 * TT28: Used to keep track of Source entries done prior to the Image Information Survey.
 * TT29: Used to keep track of Purpose entries done prior to the Image Information Survey.
 * TT30: Used to keep track of sections in files which were not in the standard format prior to the Image Information Survey and have not been processed into the implemented layout
 * ImageReqInfo: A tracktag/text display template that is used to track parts of image summaries/licensing that have not been done yet, displaying Information to be added.

Supposing absolutely no information either ready for input, able to be input or certain for input (extremely unlikely that everything would be out):
