User blog:Inept Wiki User/STOP Notes (25/12/2022)

Series Three Overhaul Project - Loose Notes (25/12/2022) Merry Christmas all. These are some loose notes concerning the Series Three Overhaul Project (STOP) and other recent stuff on the wiki, as of December 25th 2022.

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.
 * The previous batch of STOP Notes was done as quickly as possible in three separate Quick Notes post, so as to avoid them being delayed until the time for the next lot, again. See below for links to the related posts, as many of the tasks/notices on them still apply at the time of writing.
 * Combined Version: Early Month Combined Quick Notes (25/12/2022) (a post displaying all three previous quick posts in one place for convenience and as a reminder)
 * General Tasks: Quick Task Notes (09/12/2022)
 * Recent Activity: Quick Activity Notes (09/12/2022)
 * Image Tasks: Quick Image Notes (09/12/2022)

Reminders
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.

Other:
 * When you add information to an article or move information around, remember to include the appropriate references along with it.
 * 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.

Activity and Non-Image Task Notes

 * For last couple of weeks, prompted by recent circumstances, a sweep-based review of header contact cases has been underway. Due to the circumstances, progress has been rushed and the notes will require a long time to sort out. Numerous additional points have been spotted during the sweeps that will need to be worked on in their own way.
 * A minor point for source verification is the scientific term used in with regards to the usefulness of Sha Danshan's Psychometry - make sure that it was definitely Kōkogaku (考古学) (this is before any notes as done regarding the differences with ).
 * Edit (29/12/2022): Verified.
 * Edit (30/12/2022): Notes written.
 * New sidestory volume coming in March 2023 - temporary redirects have been directed to a Shared Draft assigned to gathering information and then to a sub-section on the Index LN page. These are not to be de-directed until closer to the release date, when we've got more stuff and have sorted a few issues out. A placeholder link structure has been implemented to tide us over in the meantime.
 * The title is connected to a matter which has been on the backburner and might need to be brought forward (namely, the origin of quintet's capitalization and whether to decap them).
 * During another task, some of the external links and external link references were noted to be defunct - which brought the thought to mind that it would be an idea to go through the existing examples to see which ones are still working and which ones aren't. In the case of ones which are still working but are likely to go, it would be prudent to preserve the information in some way, and in the case of ones which are no longer functional, finding an archive or an alternative.
 * A method of automatically locating such examples has not been devised or found yet, so for the moment, a manual check is the only way to go about it. A list of pages which such links has been compiled through an internal search sweep.

Image-related Notes

 * Note that most of the image tasks in Quick Image Notes (09/12/2022) are still active. Most of the notes/images concerning those ones will be kept there for now and not carried forward to this post.

Toaru IF, New Images

 * Toaru IF 3.5th Anniversary stream coming up. Will log data here afterwards.
 * is going to be assigned to a backburner IF image-related task (mentioned previously) - the possibilities connected to that task will not be listed here.

Monthly Manga Releases, New

 * Railgun and Mental Out this month. Will update after release.
 * Edit (27/12/2022): More important Railgun candidates added. Mental Out ones yet to be added.
 * Edit (30/12/2022): Current table candidates uploaded. Possible update to follow.

2023 Temporary Storage
Expecting next post to coincide with next Progress Log post on January 6th
 * 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) Only me, apparently not affecting anyone else
