User blog:Inept Wiki User/STOP Notes (25/02/2022)

Series Three Overhaul Project - Loose Notes (25/02/2022) These are some loose notes, tasks and instructions concerning the Series Three Overhaul Project (STOP) and other recent stuff on the wiki, as of February 25th 2022.

Due to circumstances at present, both on and off the wiki, these notes will not be particularly well sorted for now, somewhat rough and rushed.

Opening Notes
The reason for a rushed, barebones post is to notify and highlight some things in a hurry, given an assessment of current circumstances.

Many of the notices and tasks from the recent batches (past couple of months) are still ongoing. Given the link table in the most recent batch to most posts in the last six months, I'm just including a Main link back to it in this one. Carrying forward of notes will be minimal this time.

Reminder for anyone taking backups that the wiki's database dump was updated on January 21st and is up-to-date up to that point.

GT6-related
A few days ago, a preview synopsis was released for GT6 that revealed rough story details. At least two major sweep operations are being conducted which are connected to the apparent story that will be told in GT6 - specifically, how it will occur in Tokyo, in the run-up to the story's New Year.

Even before the preview, it was clear that preparations needed to be made for the inevitable new year in the story, particularly with multiple references to 'the current year' and the like. As mentioned in the last batch on the 18th, a sub-project was underway for this purpose - Operation New Year's Eve. Although attention has been diverted for the other sub-project in the last few days, work on it is still progressing. Hopefully things will be ready by the time Main Story Year 1 (Main Story Year for now) has concluded and Main Story Year 2 has begun.

The other sub-project, started after the story setting was revealed, involves that setting - Tokyo. In the series, there are numerous settlements which are not up to article level and are to remain in their respective country's location table for now - however, Tokyo is not one of them. Given its role throughout the series along with information involving it in the series, it will be getting its own article. Preparations are being made towards this end, with sweeps performed to locate, verify and, where appropriate, link instances of Tokyo on the wiki. At the moment, a temporary redirect leads to the Japan article as a placeholder. A few redirects have also been made which will go to Tokyo and are temporarily double-redirects (though not for long). Sub-location information is being assembled - whether Tokyo will follow the London type or the Los Angeles type isn't settled.

Two Shared Drafts have been assigned for the typical new volume tasks that will accompany GT6's release. Two other SDs have also been assigned to Tokyo and timing references respectively.

Unsorted Notes

 * Recent/Upcoming Releases:
 * Next month's chapters to be noted after this next post
 * Railgun Ch138, Mental Out Ch7 - information currently being processed
 * Railgun SS preliminary information, unprocessed
 * Cleanup Template Variant: Following plans noted in the 18th's batch under 'Cleanup/Topbox Proximity', a variant of the Cleanup template has been created to deal with spacing problems that arise when the Cleanup template is below and in close proximity to an infobox or similar template. It has been called Cleanup2 for the time being (this is by no means final, just a placeholder), with a joint Cleanup/doc shared between it and the original.
 * Cleanup_Thin, Cleanup/Thin, Cleanup 2 are being considered among possibilities.
 * The template has been implemented on the articles that are currently experiencing the problem.
 * Checks are going to be conducted for any overlooked problems.
 *  s : The status of non-named refs was checked via sweep on the 23rd.
 * Railgun Volume 17:
 * Character information being processed on SD202. Will remain there for a little time, prior to volume release.
 * Nature of several abilities tie into several existing sub-projects (including ones concerning substances and life forms).
 * Several of the new characters have been given names, but furigana has not been given. Tentative article creation and renames have been performed, pending furigana being provided.
 * No V17 character profile images or design images whatsoever on the wiki before the volume is released.
 * Mental Out Volume 1: With the release of Volume 1, as anticipated, the official online versions of Chapters 3 to 6 have become first-couple-of-pages-only. As such, the External Links on those respective chapters' articles have been decommissioned.
 * Mental Out Drama CD: New character names from the cast list have not been processed, but they have the same issue as the R-V17 named characters, and may not be fully verified until heard spoken.
 * MM/A Ref: Following break-off from overhaul work, several points are marked 'select references' or 'other references', for appropriate reference selection from ones already on the article or elsewhere.
