* 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. | |||

Revision as of 20:00, 6 June 2018
I write templates, do translations, and help out where I can.
10th Anniversary!

Project Progress
Completed | In Progress | In Backlog | On Hold | Not Started (needs further conversation/consideration)
High priority:
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:
- Alternate timelines in tabbers (ie Tsubaki - main, CT1, TWoF)?
- "/Quotes" (top page) contains notable (story) quotes, in-character Blue Radio lines, and tabs to navigate its subpages?
- Command Lists for each game (BBCT, BBCS, BBCP, BBCF, BBTAG)
- Includes tutorials/how to play/playstyle descriptions
- 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

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)</tab>
