General Organization, Missing Pages, etc
Pages: None

Templates: Character Tabs, Quote, Character Navigation, Gallery Navigation, Gameplay Navigation, Infobox Location, Audio

Categories: Terms and Setting

Planned:
 * Character subpages
 * Biography
 * Move biographies to a subpage
 * Alternate timelines in tabbers (ie Tsubaki - main, CT1, TWoF)?
 * Quotes
 * "/Quotes" (top page) contains notable (story) quotes, in-character Blue Radio lines, and tabs to navigate its subpages?
 * Subpages for each game (ie "/Quotes/BBCF"): (A & B) battle lines, winquotes, unique encounters, system voice
 * Command Lists
 * Command Lists for each game (BBCT, BBCS, BBCP, BBCF, BBTAG)
 * Includes tutorials/how to play/playstyle descriptions
 * BBDW
 * for BBDW-specific things (in-game profile(s), alters, weird lore, timeline shenanigans, stats, skills, etc.)
 * General Structure: all information on BBDW/Units/Bullet with sections to be transcluded on Bullet/BBDW?
 * When more information comes out, create a BBDW infobox. Example skeleton: Unit info, stats, skills, strategy, other versions, references, navigation.
 * Collaborations masterpage
 * Locations/stages infobox

 Content QC pages Add 10th anniversary images (bday images) Characters' challenge mode combos

Pages & Categories Write pages for missing Locations, Stages, Media (ie BlazBlue Mobile)

Organization & Presentation Offer BlazBlue-related themes/skins (dark version esp) -> Minerva Noire How to make it easier to navigate BlazBlue wiki by redoing the main page?

Character Subpages Command List subpage (includes "How to play/Tutorial") Write a custom template for character subpage tabs. Gallery - needs a rehaul for sprites and keeping story spoilers more hidden BBDW (for in-game profile(s), alters, weird lore, alternate timeline shenanigans)

Collaborations Masterpage (since one for each collab would be overkill, especially with ancient/dead/hard to datamine ones), refer to (Media from Collaborations?)

Translations
Status: On Schedule

Pages: Blue Manga, BlazBlue Walker, backlogged birthday illustrations, concept art notes

Templates: Blue Manga Navigation, BlazBlue Walker Navigation

Categories: Blue Manga, BlazBlue Walker

Merchandise, Events
Status: In Backlog

Pages: Merchandise

Templates: Merchandise Tabs, Merchandise Navigation, Merchandise Item

Categories: Media of Merchandise, Media from Events

 News and Events News updates/translations? Events?

Merchandise Move items from Merchandise masterpage to separate subpages Write initial Tabs and Navigation templates for the collection of merchandise subpages.

 Master Page (1) mixed info: Events, Merchandise, Announcements, Tournaments (Comiket, Arc Revo, Blue Radio, new game announcements)

Merchandise (1) Music albums get their own page, since music is important to BlazBlue as a franchise. (2) DVDs e.g. for Blue Radio R/R2 and Music Concerts get their own page (3) Do other merchandise get individual pages? Or are they just lumped into a "merchandise" master page? * (ie) BlazBlue Sets @ Comiket, individual items @ broccoli online shop? * what about items sold in multiple places? (ie Es Works) -> They get split by type (ref Category:Media of Merchandise)

Blue Radio
Status: In Backlog

Pages: Blue Radio

Templates: Blue Radio Episode

Categories: Blue Radio

Coordinate watching Blue Radio. Track: (1) corners & descriptions, which corners appear in which episodes (2) official cut-in art (4) notes on: in-character skits, new product details, any development or production details, fun (BB-related) corners, or go by intuition.

 To Do Description of each corner - track which corners show up in which episodes Place the logo on the side?

Master Gallery
Status: Stable

Pages: Gallery Pages

Templates: Master Gallery, Gallery Section

Categories: Media Categories



 Code Change the Gallery Section template to sort Main Artwork by date. -> only mainline games (CT/CS/CP/CF/TAG) have Main Artwork, so this isn't a problem) Add support for video embeds (add a Videos section and a video parameter)

Image tags "Lobby Avatar" -> Category:Lobby Avatars "Normal Pose" -> Category:Portraits "Swimsuit Pose" -> Category:Portraits "Young Pose" -> Category:Portraits "Crest" -> Category:Crests didn't know where to put Embryo so just left it tagged "Crests", no character tags "Chibi" -> Category:Chibi "Chibi.png" -> Category:Chibi "Special" -> Category:Special Artwork "Sprite Reference" -> Category:Palette References Mai needs captions "Avatar" -> Category:Portraits as necessary "Sticker" -> Category:Stickers (XBlaze, BlazBlue Blue Radio, BlazBlue) "Wallpaper" -> Category:Wallpapers "Birthday" -> Category:Birthday Art "Storyboard" -> Category:Storyboards "Concept" -> Category:Early Designs "Model Sheet" -> Category:Model Sheets Category:Relius Clover -> go add Category:Ignis to the relevant ones. Category:Rachel Alucard -> go add Category:Gii and Category:Nago to the relevant ones. BlazBlue Central Fiction BlazBlue Calamity Trigger BlazBlue Chrono Phantasma Clone Phantasma XXX "Arcade" -> Category:Arcade Mode tag w/ characters & locations XXX "Story" -> Category:Story tag w/ characters & locations "BlazBlue Central Fiction Story Mode"

Gallery Section
When Date property has been applied to each image page (e.g. Birthdays), update the Gallery Section to this (it will auto-sort the gallery section by date, and then by alphabet). It will also exclude any images that don't have a Date, so be sure to check that all the images have their proper dates (ones uploaded by Upload Wizard must have dates, so just check the ones from before that; also, some of the older arcade mode pictures have Template:Source which applies a date).

The Master Gallery has to add up images in all subsections for a section, so counting images in each subsection can't be moved into the Gallery Section template.

Interviews
Example table of important information related to interviews that might help someone find what they're looking for (or aid them in browsing interviews).


 * PROPOSITION: Interviews be subpages of their source page i.e. Dengeki Online/Interview Name Here
 * PRO: You can immediately see what sources produced which interviews
 * PRO: Each source can have its own description page.
 * CON: Stubs for sources that only produce a few interviews or are largely irrelevant
 * CON: Page names won't be intuitive: "Dengeki Online Interviews" would be more accurate
 * Example navigation: Category:Interviews > Dengeki Online Interviews > scan table for date, staff member, title > hover link for page preview & description
 * Could be messy if searching across sources for an interview at a certain date (will need to open multiple pages - Weekly Famitsu, Famitsu.com, Dengeki Online, Dengeki PlayStation, Kotaku, Gematsu, etc)
 * ALTERNATIVE: not having interviews be subpages (add the title as the first word in the article name - AppBank 2017 Survey, Dengeki Online BB 10th Event)
 * PRO: Interviews will be automatically split by source via alphabetical sorting on category pages
 * CON: Alphabetical sorting might be undesirable sometimes (e.g. if you want to keep Weekly Famitsu and Famitsu.com articles grouped together). The alternative would be a less intuitive naming convention e.g. "Famitsu Weekly" and "Famitsu.com"
 * ALTERNATIVE: Adding source as a category and omitting it from the title
 * PRO: Categories can be used with more complex MediaWiki features (eg #ask parser function).
 * CON: leaves organization on the category page wanting. Forces one to browse by the relatively meaningless category of source
 * PROPOSITION: Adding date (or year) in the title of the article
 * PRO: Interviews will be automatically sorted by year/date via alphabetical sorting on category pages
 * CON: can bloat the title with relatively meaningless information (aside from sorting it's not valuable information)
 * PROPOSITION: Archive older articles in subcategories split by year (Category:Interviews > Category:2017 Interviews, with 2018 interviews under Category:Interviews until 2019 rolls over)
 * Example navigation: Category:Interviews > if looking for an older interview, go to the subcategory of interview by year (e.g. Category:2016 Interviews); else scan the list of interviews from the current year.

BBDW Information Organization
Potential proposal for the BBDW/Guides page to feature links to all relevant Dark War information in one compact location. Aim to consolidate information into concise masterpages whenever possible, and avoid nesting pages.


 * Everything is based on speculation due to the current lack of concrete information about BBDW (as of Jun 11, 2018).

 * Nox Nyctores
 * 13th Hierarchical City of Kagutsuchi
