* PROPOSITION: Interviews be subpages of their source page i.e. Dengeki Online/Interview Name Here
=== Top News Page ===
** PRO: You can immediately see what sources produced which interviews
<tab collapsed openname="Messing Around" style="width:100%">
** PRO: Each source can have its own description page.
(ie *BlazBlue: Alternative Dark War/News* or *BlazBlue: Alternative Dark War/Events*)
** 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
In BlazBlue: Alternative Dark War there are special events which include major game updates in the form of limited-time maps, items, story, or gacha. But I must explain to you how all this mistaken idea of denouncing pleasure and praising pain was born and I will give you a complete account of the system, and expound the actual teachings of the great explorer of the truth, the master-builder of human happiness. No one rejects, dislikes, or avoids pleasure itself, because it is pleasure, but because those who do not know how to pursue pleasure rationally encounter consequences that are extremely painful.
** 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)
==== 2018 ====
** 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)
{{Icon|Protagonists (BBADW Render).png|width=200x150px|imglink=#20180306|caption=[[#20180306|Pretend]]<br>Jan 13 23:00 - Jan 15 20:00}}
*** PRO: Interviews will be automatically split by source via alphabetical sorting on category pages
{{Icon|BlazBlue Central Fiction Logo.png|width=200x150px|imglink=#20180306|caption=[[#20180306|These]]<br>Jan 13 23:00 - Jan 15 20:00}}
*** 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"
{{Icon|BlazBlue Continuum Shift Logo.png|width=200x150px|imglink=#20180306|caption=[[#20180306|Are]]<br>Jan 13 23:00 - Jan 15 20:00}}
** ALTERNATIVE: Adding source as a category and omitting it from the title
{{Icon|BlazBlue Calamity Trigger Logo.png|width=200x150px|imglink=#20180306|caption=[[#20180306|News]]<br>Jan 13 23:00 - Jan 15 20:00}}
*** PRO: Categories can be used with more complex MediaWiki features (eg #ask parser function).
{{Icon|BlazBlue Chrono Phantasma Logo.png|width=200x150px|imglink=#20180306|caption=[[#20180306|Banners]]<br>Jan 13 23:00 - Jan 15 20:00}}
*** CON: leaves organization on the category page wanting. Forces one to browse by the relatively meaningless category of source
{{Icon|BlazBlue Chrono Phantasma Logo.png|width=200x150px|imglink=#20180306|caption=[[#20180306|Banners]]<br>Jan 13 23:00 - Jan 15 20:00}}
* PROPOSITION: Adding date (or year) in the title of the article
{{Icon|BlazBlue Chrono Phantasma Logo.png|width=200x150px|imglink=#20180306|caption=[[#20180306|Banners]]<br>Jan 13 23:00 - Jan 15 20:00}}
** PRO: Interviews will be automatically sorted by year/date via alphabetical sorting on category pages
{{Icon|BlazBlue Chrono Phantasma Logo.png|width=200x150px|imglink=#20180306|caption=[[#20180306|Banners]]<br>Jan 13 23:00 - Jan 15 20:00}}
** CON: can bloat the title with relatively meaningless information (aside from sorting it's not valuable information)
{{Icon|BlazBlue Chrono Phantasma Logo.png|width=200x150px|imglink=#20180306|caption=[[#20180306|Banners]]<br>Jan 13 23:00 - Jan 15 20:00}}
* PROPOSITION: Archive older articles in subcategories split by year (Category:Interviews > Category:2017 Interviews, with 2018 interviews under Category:Interviews until 2019 rolls over)
</tab>
** 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.

Project Progress

Completed | In Progress | In Backlog | On Hold | Not Started (needs further conversation/consideration)

High priority:
  • Blue Radio (newest season)
  • Character Quotes (BBCF material collection)
  • Command Lists (BBTAG, backlog)
  • Concept Art notes
  • Locations/stages (BBTAG)
  • Birthdays (current)
  • BBTAG updates
  • BBDW updates, BlazBlue Walker
  • Dark Theme (Cathedral)
  • Birthdays (backlog)
  • What's wrong with mobile? (Minerva dark theme)
  • Challenge Mode Combos
  • Arcade Mode Transcripts
Low(er) priority:
  • Merchandise (trying to stay up to date)
  • Collaborations
Backburner:
  • Events (i.e. tournaments, live events, concerts)
  • BlazBlue Mobile (it's defunct so this is more for trivia purposes)

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

<tab collapsed openname="Details & Progress" style="width:100%; font-weight:bold;" container="font-style:default; font-weight:normal;">

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?)

</tab>

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

<tab collapsed openname="Details & Progress" style="width:100%; font-weight:bold;" container="font-style:default; font-weight:normal;" title="Example tooltip">

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.

</tab>

<tab collapsed openname="Considerations" style="width:100%; font-weight:bold;" container="font-style:default; font-weight:normal;" title="Example tooltip">

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>

<tab collapsed openname="Details & Progress" style="width:100%; font-weight:bold;" container="font-style:default; font-weight:normal;" title="Example tooltip">

To Do
Description of each corner - track which corners show up in which episodes

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).
