* Susanoo is found, handed over to Clavis
* Add audio files that were uploaded in bulk to the character's BBDW quotes page.
* Cauldrons (& the Boundary) are discovered
* The idea is to grab the filenames from the contribution list (or file upload list) so we have the real filenames used on the wiki, and then to format them accordingly.
* Master Unit is discovered
* This works better (is more efficient) the more files we have to apply this to at once. Can even be files for multiple characters.
* Takamagahara is built
* These instructions assume the use of Sublime Text 3, or another advanced text editor that supports multiple selections and searches with regular expressions.
* Mitsurugi Agency exists (Jubei mentions it in one of his lines)
|-

!2099AD

* Select and copy into a new document the contribs page text for the user who uploaded the files.
* 1st PFD is built by Relius Clover/Shuiichiro Ayatsuki so humans can obtain the Azure
It'll look something like this:
** 1st PFD obtains the Eye (the power of the Azure), as well as a soul
<pre><nowiki>
** 1st PFD, aka "The Origin," is discarded into the Boundary

<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:100%">
* 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).
 
{| class="wikitable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:100%"
! Gameplay
|-
| '''[[BlazBlue Alternative: Dark War/Guides/Characters|Characters]]''' (Unit List) - compacted table for comparisons, clicking name links to character's BBDW subpage, one row per character for easy comparisons and scanning
*  should be an overview of all Dark War characters (one character per row).
:: Icon | Name | Type | other useful comparative information | etc
* Name links to the character's individual /BBDW page.
* '''Character BBDW subpages''' (e.g. [[Tsubaki Yayoi/BBDW]]) should have a way to neatly display information (via a template) about multiple units for the same character. If possible, vital information (name, rank, stats, skills, skill icons, skill descriptions, other useful information) should also be stored as Properties so that the BBDW/Characters page can be automatically updated.
** For each unit, information should include unit name, stats, skills, upgrade/leveling information, main image/sprites/videos, costumes, gallery, links to any unique short stories. (dialogue goes under <character>/Quotes)
|-
| '''System''' - HUD, controls, gameplay & translated in-game gameplay tutorials (combat, leveling, upgrading)
|-
| '''Modes?''' - description and guides to different modes of play (if there are multiple)
: e.g. (singleplayer) Story Mode (just leave a "Main article: BBDW/Guides/Story Mode" redirect here), PvP, Co-op, Infinite Dungeons, Boss Raids, etc.
|-
| '''Shop?''' - kind of related to Modes above. Not sure if this needs to be detailed here, but it could prove helpful if there's rotations or refreshes or something that's useful to note.
|-
| '''Gacha''' - Introduce what a gacha is and how BBDW's gachas work briefly (as well as different types of gachas in BBDW, if any).
* Have a section on currencies (Crystallized Azure, Gacha Tickets)
* Have a section on rates
* Have a list of past banners with details on the rate-up or new units.

   |'''Details''' - Rate-Up/Limited Units/New Additions
  |-
  |'''Information''' - an optional section detailing special currencies or item bundles specific to the banner
  |}
:* The gacha list could potentially get very long (too long) and make the page difficult to load. Split the gacha list by year, and leave a redirect ("Main article: See List of BBDW Gacha Banners").
|-
| '''Missions?''' - pinboards, dailies, weeklies, monthlies, log-in bonuses, special event bonuses, etc. Event missions go on event pages.
|-
| '''Story''' - A guide and masterpage for the gameplay required to clear missions/quests/nodes/main story
* If main stories and sidestories have dependencies, use a table or list to relate Main Story and Side Story sections.
* If they're specific to nodes on a (unique) map rather than to main story progression, list the Main Story nodes and Side Story nodes on the same page.
* '''Individual story pages''' should be for the whole chapter at once, or for as large a category as possible (e.g. "Character-Specific Short Stories" with sub-sections, instead of individual pages for each character)
:: name, location, icon, list of mobs, drop items, clear reward, and a *link* to story translation (see Translations section below for details).
|-
| '''Events''' - a masterpage including information about time-limited events, that explains event types and has a list of past events.
{| class="wikitable
  ! Individual Event Page Structure
   |-
   | Event banner and images, event duration, and official event description

| These feature unofficial translations of short stories published through ''BlazBlue Alternative: Dark War''. Proposal:
*Name them by chapter name like the [[:Category:Alter Memory Episodes|Alter Memory episode pages]] (to reduce nesting).
*Categorize them as "BlazBlue Alternative: Dark War Short Stories," nested under [[:Category:Short Stories|Short Stories]]?
*Add a ''Dark War'' spoiler tag above them
*Have a disambiguation that redirects users to the chapter's gameplay guide (e.g. "For help with completing the quest associated with this short story in ''BlazBlue Alternative: Dark War'', see [[BlazBlue Alternative: Dark War/Guides/Story]]")

|-
|'''Side/Short Stories'''
|-
| '''Event Stories'''
* Each event gets at most one (sub?)page for translations (see Events under Gameplay for details), if any. Remakes and added sequences are added onto existing pages whenever possible.
* For the most part they should be treated like regular short stories. If the short story's name/chapters are titled differently from the event, put the title in news-box. Possibly collapse the whole thing, since it's all spoilers.

Notes

Adding BBDW Audio Files to the Quotes Page
  • Add audio files that were uploaded in bulk to the character's BBDW quotes page.
  • The idea is to grab the filenames from the contribution list (or file upload list) so we have the real filenames used on the wiki, and then to format them accordingly.
  • This works better (is more efficient) the more files we have to apply this to at once. Can even be files for multiple characters.
  • These instructions assume the use of Sublime Text 3, or another advanced text editor that supports multiple selections and searches with regular expressions.
Steps:
  • Select and copy into a new document the contribs page text for the user who uploaded the files.

It'll look something like this:

    03:22, 4 June 2022 diff hist +359‎ N File:BBDW Avenge 026b.ogg ‎ Uploaded a work by Arc System Works from BlazBlue Alternative: Dark War with UploadWizard current Tag: Upload Wizard
    03:22, 4 June 2022 diff hist +359‎ N File:BBDW Avenge 026a.ogg ‎ Uploaded a work by Arc System Works from BlazBlue Alternative: Dark War with UploadWizard current Tag: Upload Wizard
  • In the text editor, pull up the search bar (Ctrl+F) and search for: (make sure using regular expressions (regex) is selected)
File:[A-Za-z0-9 ]*\.ogg
  • Click the "Find All" button on the far right (or Alt + Enter) to select all occurrences in current document
  • Cut (Ctrl + X) or copy (Ctrl + C) all selections.
  • Open a new document (or Ctrl + N) and paste (Ctrl + V) the selections.

This extracts all "File:<filename>.ogg" from the copied text. It should look like this:

File:BBDW Avenge 026b.ogg
File:BBDW Avenge 026a.ogg
  • Go to Edit > Sort Lines to sort them alphabetically:
File:BBDW Avenge 026a.ogg
File:BBDW Avenge 026b.ogg
  • Add the header and footer text around the text
==Other==
{{Quotes Header}}
File:BBDW Avenge 026a.ogg
File:BBDW Avenge 026b.ogg
{{Quotes Footer}}
  • Search for all the part b files (026b etc) with this regex:
b\.ogg$
  • ALT+ENTER to select all occurrences of matched text.
  • Press HOME on the keyboard to move each cursor to the beginning of each selected line.
  • BACKSPACE to put each "b" quote on the previous line (with the "a" line)
  • Add a comma and a space to get the following:
==Other==
{{Quotes Header}}
File:BBDW Avenge 026a.ogg, File:BBDW Avenge 026b.ogg
{{Quotes Footer}}
  • Select all lines beginning with "File:" (search for)
^File:
  • HOME to move each cursor to the beginning of each selected line.
  • Copy the following wikitext template, then navigate back to the text editor (do NOT click inside the text editor but click the icon on the menu bar or ALT+TAB back to it, else you will lose your selection)
  • Paste
{{Quotes
  |rowspan=2
  |situation=
  |text=
  |lang=en
}}
{{Quotes
  |rowspan=0
  |situation=
  |text=
  |audio=
  |lang=ja
}}

Next is the cool part about Sublime Text...

We should now have the following text, with the cursor before every File: after the wikitext template we just pasted.

  • SHIFT+END to select from every cursor to the end of its line.
==Other==
{{Quotes Header}}
{{Quotes
  |rowspan=2
  |situation=
  |text=
  |lang=en
}}
{{Quotes
  |rowspan=0
  |situation=
  |text=
  |audio=
  |lang=ja
}}File:BBDW Avenge 026a.ogg, File:BBDW Avenge 026b.ogg
{{Quotes Footer}}
  • Cut, then navigate WITH the arrow keys on the keyboard (not the mouse), and it will move every cursor accordingly.
  • Move to the |audio= part of the template above it, and paste.
==Other==
{{Quotes Header}}
{{Quotes
  |rowspan=2
  |situation=
  |text=
  |lang=en
}}
{{Quotes
  |rowspan=0
  |situation=
  |text=
  |audio=File:BBDW Avenge 026a.ogg, File:BBDW Avenge 026b.ogg
  |lang=ja
}}
{{Quotes Footer}}
  • END to navigate to the end of each audio line.
  • CTRL + Left arrow key twice to move the cursor before the ".ogg" file extension
  • CTRL + SHIFT + arrow keys to select 026 (without the a/b letter suffix)
  • Copy (CTRL+C)
  • Navigate with arrow keys up to the |situation= part and paste, then up to the first |situation= and paste again
==Other==
{{Quotes Header}}
{{Quotes
  |rowspan=2
  |situation=026
  |text=
  |lang=en
}}
{{Quotes
  |rowspan=0
  |situation=026
  |text=
  |audio=File:BBDW Avenge 026a.ogg, File:BBDW Avenge 026b.ogg
  |lang=ja
}}
{{Quotes Footer}}
  • Finally, remove File: prefix - search for the following

File:

  • ALT+ENTER to select all
  • BACKSPACE to delete all selections

And now we're done and can copy/paste the text into the bottom of the character's quotes page.
