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

10th Anniversary!

Project Progress

✗ = rejected | - = pending | ✓ = accepted

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

High priority:
  • Birthdays (current & backlog)
  • Command Lists
  • character quotes (esp when BBCF material collection drops)
  • character challenge mode combos
  • BBTAG
  • BBDW
  • BBCF
  • locations/stages
  • dark theme
Low(er) priority:
  • blue radio
  • merchandise
  • 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

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>

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

Character Subpages
    ✗ BBRR (not canon, not relevant, and is 3rd-party as well)
    ✗ CT/CS/CP/CF supages for movelists and (sub)galleries split by game
    ✓ "Movelist" subpage
Collaborations
    ✓ "Collaborations" masterpage (since one for each collab would be overkill, especially with ancient/dead/hard to datamine ones)
    * refer to ([[:Category:Media from Collaborations|Media from Collaborations]]?)

</tab>

Translations

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>

Blue Radio

Status: In Backlog

Pages: Blue Radio

Templates: Blue Radio Episode

Categories: Blue Radio

Coordinate watching Blue Radio.
Track:
(1) corner names & descriptions
(2) which corners appear in which episodes
(3) guest images.

<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
Place the logo on the side?
Add support for images for each episode (ie screenshots)
Add descriptions under each subheading (but before the "Episodes" tab)

</tab>

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

How to tag the guest art? (organize by season/episode? -> might not need to, ref. Stickers) How do we want them displayed in a character's gallery?
Add links or a section or a see also or something to related events (i.e. Blue Fes)?
Organize images by season & episode. Make sure they will appear nicely on all pages they will be included in.
  * these pictures will be on the [Blue Radio] page
  * these pictures will be in character [Galleries].

Options for tags:
 - Tag with [Blue Radio W] [Episode 1] [Characters]
 - Tag with [Blue Radio] [Blue Radio W Ep 1] [Characters]
 ✗ Tag with [Blue Radio] [Characters] and have the caption include Season and Episode?
  * this caption will appear on [Blue Radio] pages too, where having season/episode in the caption will be redundant.

</tab>

Messing Around

Item Template Idea

Item template idea (for an improvement over the tables used in https://gbf.wiki/Items).

Usage:
{{Item
|title      =[required] Full Elixir
|link       =[optional] the name of the page to link to, defaults to the same as the title
|thumbnail  =[required] thumbnail name minus the File: prefix e.g. Full Elixir square.jpg
|thumbwidth =[optional] 75px by default
|description=[required] Gain 100 AP. Can temporarily have more than maximum AP. During battle game over, use to revive party with full HP and full Charge Gauge. 
|orientation=[optional] v (just "v" to set it to vertical, else it will be horizontal)
|width      =[optional] the default is 200px for vertical, 300px for horizontal by default
|tablestyle =[optional] additional styles to be applied to the whole table
}}

Template:
<div style="display:inline-block; vertical-align:top;">
{| class="wikitable" style="width:{{#if:{{{width|}}}<!--
-->|{{{width}}}<!--
-->|{{#switch:{{{orientation|}}}<!--
  -->|v=200px<!--
  -->|#default=300px<!--
  -->}}<!--
-->}};background:transparent;font-size:10pt;"
!style="width:{{{thumbwidth|75px}}}"|[[File:{{{thumbnail|}}}|link=|{{{thumbwidth|75px}}}]]<br>[[{{{link|{{{title|}}}|{{{title|}}}}}}]]
{{#ifeq:{{{orientation|}}}|v|{{!}}-|#default=}}
|{{{description|}}}
|}
</div>
BlazBlue Mu-12 Birthday 06.jpg
