I write templates, do translations, and help out where I can.

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"

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).

Pages

 * Nox Nyctores
 * 13th Hierarchical City of Kagutsuchi
