User blog:Servant of Evillious/CWP: Compilation and Schedule

____________________________________________________________________________________

The Current Wiki Projects: Compilation and Schedule is my personal public reference list of things "to do" compiled into a nice, lengthy, and organized blog post. I will be updating this as needed.

I know a lot of new users are having trouble finding a place to start with helping out in the wiki. I am openly recruiting for assistance on these projects and would gladly help divide the load with users willing and able to do so. I have begun most of these projects already and have been working on them for the past few weeks. Unfortunately, a new project that requires my attention or a calamity of fanon that needs to be holocausted has cause multiple push-backs of my more long-term works.

Truth is, this wiki needs work and a lot of it. No matter how much I want to, I can't make the quotas I set in a timely matter that I am satisfied with. Simply say that you are interested and I will assign the necessary tasks and details. If you are offering your services, I expect you to commit. Otherwise, I will use this as a reference to keep track of my progress and complete any tasks I assigned at my own pace.

_____________________________________________________________________________________

Directive
Ah, yes... the largest project for the wiki and the one which will take the most time. This project's aim will be to improve the quality of  Story of Evil article and its related pages. In short, that means everything under Story of Evil is being affected. This is being prioritized as follows:

Part I: Characters
It goes without mention that all characters' Infoboxes, History, Character Traits, Connections to Other Characters, and Trivia sections must be edited and improved. Your standard to match is my work on Elluka's page. Even if a page has already been "completed", it must be revised for any spelling, grammar, or sentence structure errors. Make sure the page is at its highest quality. If actions by the same character occur simultaneously between novels, the novel sub-section will be titled the name of the novel the character first appeared in and/or the novel that they had the largest role in.

_____________________________________________________________________________________

Phase 1-Yellow and Green
All article's histories for Daughter of Evil, Clôture of Yellow and Daughter of Evil, Wiegenlied of Green need to be expanded and written with the same style and quality. That means reading through the novel for each character and listing their actions and/or presence. Your reference for this will be my work on Riliane and Allen's pages. This phase is enacted immediately and is considered top priority. Current page schedule:

_____________________________________________________________________________________
 * Riliane Lucifen d'Autriche *
 * Allen Avadonia *
 * Elluka Clockworker
 * Gumillia *
 * Michaela
 * Clarith *
 * Gast Venom *
 * Chartette Langley *

 * Ney Futapie *
 * Mariam Futapie *
 * Leonhart Avadonia *
 * Eldoh
 * Germaine Avadonia *
 * Keel Freesis
 * Yukina Freesis
 * Mikina Freesis
 * Prim Marlon

Phase 2-Red and Blue
All article's histories for Daughter of Evil, Praeludium of Red and Daughter of Evil, Praefatio of Blue need to be expanded and written with the same style and quality. That means reading through the novel for each character and listing their actions and/or presence. Because a public novel translation is not available, this phase is currently inactive. Future page schedule:

_____________________________________________________________________________________
 * Rin
 * Allen Avadonia
 * Elluka Clockworker

Phase 3-Worldguide and Fanbook
All information related to the Interlude of Evil, The Daughter of Evil Worldguide and Epic of Evil, The Daughter of Evil Fanbook needs to be included in all character's pages. That means reading through the worldguide and fanbook for each character and listing everything mentioned. Because a public translation for all the information is not available, this phase is currently active on a case-by-case basis and considered top priority. As translated information from the fanbooks (including the short stories) are released, it must be added to the articles. Current Page Schedule: _____________________________________________________________________________________
 * Riliane Lucifen d'Autriche
 * Allen Avadonia
 * Elluka Clockworker
 * Gumillia
 * Michaela
 * Clarith
 * Gast Venom

Phase 4-Minor Characters
The List of Minor Characters in Story of Evil needs to undergo revision. This phase is currently inactive due to any edits affecting the quality and consitency of other Minor Character pages. Please submit any suggestions or ideas to help improve this section regarding its organization or information.

_____________________________________________________________________________________

Part II: Revision and Sourcing
After we have finished inputting all information into the articles, the maximum amount of users possible need to read, review, and revise any and all errors in the article regarding spelling, grammar, and sentence structure. The following guidelines are the traditional EC wiki layout to my knowledge:

_____________________________________________________________________________________

Heading

 * Infobox: Filled out with all relevant information; text surrounded in "" must be reduced in size.
 * Quote: A quote must be present that grants greater insight into the character and their personality.
 * Opening paragraph: The character's name and any primary alias must be bolded. All definitive qualities of the character and any mentioned actions are put in the present tense.

History

 * All actions are to be written in the past tense; clauses portraying a series of actions or simultaneou s actions are to be written in the present progressive tense.
 * Exception: Legacy sub-section for characters who appear after the character's death must have their actions listed in future tense
 * Exception:
 * History sub-sections are to be divided via the following layout:
 * Early Life
 * All events from birth until the beginning of the novels
 * Clôture of Yellow (If Applicable)
 * Wiegenlied of Green (If Applicable)
 * Praeludium of Red (If Applicable)
 * Praefatio of Blue (If Applicable)
 * Aftermath
 * All events from the end of the novels until their death
 * Legacy
 * All actions, mentions, and references that are directly related to the character.

Character Traits

 * All information is to be written in the past tense for general information, present tense for definitive traits/qualities, and in the past perfect tense for dividing a sequence of information.
 * Character Traits sub-sections are to be divided via the following layout:
 * Personality
 * Skills
 * Appearance

Featured In

 * All song summaries are to be written in the present tense

Connection to Other Characters

 * All character relationship summaries are to be written in the present tense

Trivia

 * Trivia must be concise, punctuated, and formated bullet points; no unreasonable or uninsightful speculation should be included (Ex: Riliane may be related to Gretel in the Evillious Chronicles).
 * Trivia sub-sections are to be divided via the following layout:
 * Conceptualization and Origin
 * Curiosities

Gallery
_____________________________________________________________________________________
 * Only official artwork should be included in the gallery. Any fanmade artwork should be removed.
 * Gallery sub-sections are to be divided via the following layout:
 * Concept Art
 * Song Apparitions
 * Book Apparitions
 * Manga Apparitions
 * VG Apparitions
 * Misc

Once all information is properly formatted and organized, reference markers should be added to source the novel or song with which our information comes from.

_____________________________________________________________________________________
 * 1) All information from a particular novel shall be referenced in the novel's sub-section in the History section. If a novel section title is missing due to simultaneous actions between novels (see Part I above), the actions from the absent novel title will be referenced within the article.
 * 2) All information from a particular song will be referenced within the article with the video and time included in the source. You may only use the video links provided in the infbox on the song's page. If there are any inaccuracies in translation for the song, contact an admin for further instructions.
 * 3) All information from the Worldguide or Fanbook will be referenced within any part pertinent to the article. The page number the information comes from must be listed in the source.

reference and mimic the format as close as possible. Also, expand the Locations sections by filling out the information with relevant information is possible. Read the tumblr translations for Cloture of Yellow and Wiegenlied of Green if need be to help identify important historical events or actions taken place in these places. _____________________________________________________________________________________

Directive
a simple yet somewhat tedious project. We are going to be going through pages (particularly character pages, overall) and making sure they are all in a consistent and logical format. This problem has multiple stems but mostly seems to be editors just adding whatever image they want without reordering it. The project should help reduce this problem in existing pages and help editors (particularly new ones) get an idea how everything should look when they want to add or update an image. As a reminder: All galleries should have tabs; no exceptions. Even with only one tab, the galleries look far more polished than if they are by themselves. Read this entire project before starting on it. This project is currently active and will be prioritized as follows:

Part I: Concept Art
The Concept art tab should only have images that are either in-progress sketches or drawings by an official artist or official character design sheets used as a reference for the artist making the song, novel, etc. The order should go by the order of all successive tabs (songs, then books, then manga, etc.) followed by release date order (The Daughter of Evil, then The Servant of Evil, etc.).

_____________________________________________________________________________________

Part II: Song Apparitions
All images here should be those included in songs. To cut down on space, only include one image per song for characters. Otherwise, galleries are flooded with unnecessary images as editors think "Why not add one more?" If a PV is inconsistent and utilizes different artworks throughout it, use only one that can be considered the iconic image (the opening and ending image for Tailor Shop, etc.). Order via the series' release date (Original Sin Story then Seven Deadly Sins Series then Story of Evil, etc.) and then the song's release date (The Daughter of Evil then The Servant of Evil then Regret Message, etc.).

_____________________________________________________________________________________

Part III: Book Apparitions
All images should be those included in books, save for manga (clarification in the next part). Order via each book's official release date. Only add one representative colored image from each book (so only one colored image that was in Cloture, one that was in Wiegenlied, one that was in the Fanbook, etc.) so we can cut down on how inflated these galleries are. For non-colored illustrations used between the pages' text, there will be a balancing act. If a character has an illustration in all four Story of Evil novels, pick one from each novel. If a character only appears in two or three, include maybe 3-4 of these illustrations. Basically, the less times a character is depicted, the more non-colored illustrations you should add to this section. this excludes a timeskip within the story where a character is depicted younger or older and therefore appears different (young Ney, young Riliane, young Allen, etc.).

_____________________________________________________________________________________

Part IV: Manga Apparitions
All images in here will be from manga, including those included in side stories. Our original organization policy of including images from Her Reason and Twiright Prank is a bit outdated now that we have an actual tab for manga. As a result, we will be taking any manga images from the Book Apparitions tab and placing them here, along with images of stand alone manga like for Lunacy and Comedy of Evil. As a result, a new order is needed for some character pages who appear in these different manga. Order via the release date of each manga. If multiple manga exist, order it via which one comes first. Only include one non-colored character image per manga and the same for colored character images. Therefore, two is the maximum amount this tab should see for each manga, excluding a timeskip within the story where a character is younger or older and therefore appears different (ex: Cloture Gumillia vs Praeludium Gumillia in Her Reason).

_____________________________________________________________________________________

Part V: VG Apparitions
For the few characters who appear in video games, order it via character renders (the models in a white space), then the in-game model appearance during the song (if they sing), in-game flat models during the song (the silhouettes in clothes), then any appearances of them when they are supposed to be younger or older.

_____________________________________________________________________________________

Part VI: Misc
This tab is a bit complicated. The order will be as follows: To clarify this a bit more, the merchandise section will be undoubtably huge so we're keeping it down to one image per item and try to cut down on showing all the items. If there are several shirts, show one that is the most appropriate. If there are several mugs, choose one that is the most appropriate. Concert images aren't going to be put under here because the idea is that Rin and Len are acting in the song, not Riliane and Allen themselves being portrayed. As for "artist illustrations", a policy is going to placed on this.
 * 1) TCG cards (order of release)
 * 2) Album cover and then album booklet appearances
 * 3) Merchandise: dolls, then shirts and postcards and the like
 * 4) Artist Illustrations

While images of Story of Evil drawn by Suzunosuke are extremely well done, they are not drawn with the intent of depicting the Evillious characters, so the images need to be removed. Any that are not part of a song PV are not to be included. On the other hand, if Suzunosuke, Ichika, or Yuurin draw the actual mothy characters (Riliane, GEAR, etc.) in a miscellaneous artwork, include it. Because this is such a complicated matter, questions and confirmations on what should and should not be in this tab are welcome so we can try to avoid confusion.

_____________________________________________________________________________________

Part VII: Links and Code
Now, with all these tabs, we will also be adding a policy for linking to pages. The policy for this will be simple, since everything is organized via a form of sequential order and grouped together as such. Therefore, let's say you have two images of a character from The Daughter of Evil, Wiegenlied of Green. In the first image, you will put "[character name] as they appear in/in The Daughter of Evil: Wiegenlied of Green" (name change explained below). In the second image, you will put "[character name] [description of event being portrayed]". We will let our readers logically assume the image comes from the same source as the previous one.

As a result, there should be one and only one link for every book/manga/song/whatever gallery tab this is supposed to be. Here is a visual example:

Similarly, the above gallery code is the correct format. Galleries shoulder be centered, they should be 3 per row, and they should have photo spacing set to "small" (image size set to 185 px). Make sure these are your correct settings while reorganizing the images. Keep descriptions themselves concise. Truncate phrases so they fit well into 2-3 lines (try to avoid having short words hanging off on a third line when you can shorten the description to fit two lines).

_____________________________________________________________________________________

Part VIII: Renaming
As mentioned above, we will be renaming some book pages and changing ALL their links and text for all these galleries. For instance, the comma in "The Daughter of Evil, Wiegenlied of Green" will be made a colon to become "The Daughter of Evil: Wiegenlied of Green". Besides the fact this will make books consistent with the Deadly Sins of Evil series' format, it is also the general rule for book articles with sub-headings in novel series. Therefore, this will be done for the following: Another change that was approved is to change "Entreacte" to "Interlude". The reason behind this change is for more accuracy to the translation. While several titles' text actually sounds out a foreign language's word (ヴィーゲンリート=Wiegenlied), the Worldguide uses the term "間奏曲", an actual Japanese word that means "Interlude" or "Intermezzo". This is similarly reflected in the Fanbook, where the Japanese word for "Epic" was translated into English. Because these two book titles are handled very differently from the four light novels, we will be changing our translation to the English term "Interlude" to be in line with the text, and the Fanbook.
 * The Daughter of Evil, Clôture of Yellow
 * The Daughter of Evil, Wiegenlied of Green
 * The Daughter of Evil, Praeludium of Red
 * The Daughter of Evil, Praefatio of Blue
 * The Daughter of Evil, Novelette of White
 * The Daughter of Evil, Retrouver of Silver
 * Epic of Evil, The Daughter of Evil Fanbook
 * Interlude of Evil, The Daughter of Evil Worldguide

Directive
While there are longterm plans for fixing this overall problem Minor Character pages have in general, we will not be tackling that right now. For the moment, the purpose of this project is to bandaid fix the problem by redoing all the existing pages. The ages should use the following format:

Opening Text
A simple statement stating what the article is meant to portray minor characters that appear during the story or are mentioned in passing. This means characters like Banica Conchita and Sateriajis Venomania who are mentioned in passing throughout The Daughter of Evil series will be included, with a note linking a reader to the character's respective article.

Characters
The name of each character should warrant their own section. If there is an image that can be used to visualize a character, make sure it is a square image giving a full or nearly-full look at the characters face and place it on the left side of the page at the beginning (size: 90px). The contents of each character's section should be treated as an article for a character on wikipedia. Give a brief summary of their actions in the plot, relevant backstory, and notable traits. Do not fell restricted by the size of the image, feel free to add 3-4 paragraphs of 30 or so lines if needed.

Order characters alphabetically. In the case of characters only known by surname, use their surname as their regular name (feel free to mention their given/first name is unknown at the end of their section). In the case of multiple characters who share the same surname and have an unknown give name, put in parenthese something to distinguish them.

Ex: Duke Oruhari from Evil Food Eater Conchita's revises PV will be "Oruhari (EC 324)" while the Duke Oruhari of Story of Evil shall be "Oruhari (EC 505)".

Part II: Overview
So how should a minor character section look? To give everyone a better idea, here is the quality and type of information to be collected into a piece:

Toy Conchita is a baron and of the Beelzenian Empire and the close adviser of Princess Meilis Beelzenia. Born in EC 106, Toy eventually married and earned his place as a baron, serving the princess. At some point, he met and became friends with Count Kachess Crim of the Kingdom of Marlon and learned of his affair with Queen Yufina. During the Venomania Event, Conchita began investigating the string of disappearances on Meilis' command. Toy later suggested that Kachess help assist with the investigation and the princess complied. Following the incident, the baron recieved Meilis' unwanted child that she sired with Duke Venomania, failing to have any children with his wife. Raising the child as his own, their family would eventually lead to Banica Conchita.

Directive
Well, our mothy page has been needing a bit of an update since it hasn't had any major edits for a while. As a result, this project is going to rework the organization and set up for the page. Overall, this should be a simple project. This project is not currently green-lighted. It will be prioritized as follows:

Opening Text
A rewritten opening blurb describing mothy, his official name "Akuno-P", and his achievements. Information will include that he is best known for his Story of Evil series, is the creator of the Evillious Chronicles, and is a song writer and producer who uses the Vocaloid software.

History
A brief excerpt of the professional career of mothy. This section is expected to be small; information will be pulled from his blog, twitter, among other sources to help compile some information. Interviews describing his process for making the songs and novels will also be elaborated upon. Depending on the amount of information that is compiled, a sub-section will be used or possibly a section of its own.

Songs
Like with our EC page, we will use a simple list for the songs with the appropriate links to our articles, kept in a consider format with a scrollbox.

Albums
The redundant sub-section shall be removed and the gallery shall have its Add button at the bottom removed. Links should be checked to make sure they are correct.

Books
This section will be continue to use galleries for the books but will now be divided by series name, ordered via series release date. Therefore "The Daughter of Evil" section will now have all books in its series, including the handbook. The Add button at the bottom will also be removed from the galleries. The galleries themselves will be center-aligned, have four books per row, keep the medium-sized text below the books, and have said text bolded.

Trivia
This section will include appropriate trivia regarding mothy. Trivia that would be more appropriate for a song or character article should not be included; however, relevant trivia included in other characters (such as Elluka's personality origin) may be included with an admin's permission.

Gallery
Gallery will include appropriate images of mothy, particually those posted on his blog. Avoid using similar or repeated images. Avatar icons used for his different online accounts may be included. We will be dividing them into separate categories as "Avatars" and "Misc".
