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 *
 * Anne Lucifen d'Autriche *
 * Kyle Marlon *
 * Ney Futapie *
 * Mariam Futapie *
 * Leonhart Avadonia *
 * Held
 * 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 (Praelud)
 * Allen Avadonia
 * Elluka Clockworker
 * Gumillia
 * Michaela
 * Clarith
 * Liliane Mouchet
 * Chartette Langley
 * Anne Lucifen d'Autriche
 * Kyle Marlon
 * Ney Futapie
 * Mariam Futapie
 * Leonhart Avadonia
 * Held
 * Germaine Avadonia
 * Keel Freesis
 * Yukina Freesis
 * Mikina Freesis
 * Prim Marlon
 * Abyss I.R.

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
 * Liliane Mouchet
 * Chartette Langley
 * Anne Lucifen d'Autriche
 * Kyle Marlon
 * Ney Futapie
 * Mariam Futapie
 * Leonhart Avadonia
 * Tree of Held
 * Germaine Avadonia
 * Keel Freesis
 * Yukina Freesis
 * Mikina Freesis
 * Prim Marlon

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
 * [Uniquely named section(s)]
 * 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
Another large project built upon the suggestions and ideas from different members of the community. This project is meant to enhance the quality of song pages by adding new sections and templates to help better compile and streamline information onto each page. While much of this project can be completed in a relatively short amount of time, other portions will not be finished for some time. This project is active. Note: the video section that was originally planned has now been postponed due to inadequate effort to make the section. Song pages will be using the following format:

Opening Text
A brief description of the song, including its author (Akuno-P), and its release date on NND. Other minor details may be included but keep it short and succinct. A quote shall be included at the top of each block of text, taken from mothy's NND posting. In the case of album-only songs without a quote provided, a suitable replacement will be accepted. Going along with this, infoboxes will be slightly reorganized to accomodate these pages:

Technical Information

 * Original Name: Original name provided by mothy used in lyric sheets or the NND posting
 * English Name: Name used in mp3 digital versions, such as Madam Merry-Go-Round's name of U-Topos
 * Singers: Vocaloid singers used for the song; this does not include Vocaloids referenced, their vocals must be included in some form to be listed
 * Release Date: A listing for the release dates for certain media
 * Collaboraters: Illustrators, co-producers/authors, and other parties involved in the creation and/or publication of the song and its video

Chronology

 * Series: Listing of the series a song is a part of; in rare cases, two series will be listed
 * Preceded by: Link to the song that occurs the closest before in chronology (ie, by the year it occurs in the story). For songs that overlap in their chronology of events, a generally agreed upon order will be used instead; songs without a place in the Evillious timeline shall not have this section included
 * Followed by: Link to the song that occurs the closest before in chronology (ie, by the year it occurs in the story). For songs that overlap in their chronology of events, a generally agreed upon order will be used instead; songs without a place in the Evillious timeline shall not have this section included

Plot
A synopsis of the song's overall plot that is being portrayed. Generally, this section should give the reader a general understanding of the song without going too graetly into the details. Limit the section's length to around 15 lines of text, though this isn't a hard rule and can surpass that limit for some longer songs. The section should be written from the perspective of the song, and not delve into extraneous information not provided (in the case of names or places, their names may be included even if the song doesn't use them if necessary for naming them in the section.

Characters
A section divided into singing and non-singing roles. These sections will be divided into a list using a bullet point format, listing the Vocaloid and the character portrayed. Therefore, it should appear as follows:


 * Kagamine Len as Allen Avadonia

Characters who are credited with a certain name in the song PV may have that name listed instead, but must be linked to the appropriate character page:


 * Kagamine Len as Stupid Servant


 * Hatsune Miku as Woman

Composition
This is a heavily fan driven section and will rely on the knowledge of individual users to make this effective. This section will be used to describe the musical composition and audio effects employed in the song and what effect they give off or are intended to simulate, including the use of certain Vocaloids as background echoes or chorus pieces. As this relies on users who have knowledge in the musical arts, this section may not be included for certain song pages. Fan contribution is heavily advised. This policy will only be regulated for spelling and grammar purposes. If there is a debate regarding the information, it can be discussed with an admin or among the editors themselves. As this section may become somewhat lengthy, an image from the song may be used to help illustrated a particular piece.

Lyrics
A section dedicated to listing the actual song lyrics of each piece composed by mothy. Due to difficulties with coding, lyrics will not be numbered. The section will be divided into tabs for Japanese, Romaji, and English. Because of the nature with English lyrics, this section will not be filled out until they are checked for accuracy. We will be going off our own translations due to several of the older, popular lyrics have to be inaccurate or creative with the translation; our mission is to balance accuracy with creativity to provide a clear and understable base for both editors and readers to extract facts from this information. The following template will be used:

Japanese=

Romaji=

English=

Related Songs
This section is meant to included key songs that are connected directly to the current song; although songs in this section do not need to be part of the same series or even part of a series, their connection must be apparent and explainable in 2-3 lines of text. Due to some minor technical difficulties, the template planned for this section will be implimented at a later date.

Albums
This section is intended to list the mothy albums that a song is included in. Because of numerous iterations of a song and the requirement for research into finding all other possible appearances of a song in a third-party album, this section will be focusing on currently established pages. That said, other albums can be added if a cover and confirmed information can be added regarding them.

Trivia
A standard trivia section can be included. Because of the nature of the Composition section, several trivia points may need to be moved to that section instead. Trivia will be divided into two sub-sections, Conceptualization and Origin and Curiosities. Trivia points should be kept short and succinct, remaining in one sentence and not surpassing three lines (use of a semi-colon though is fine, so long as its only used once per trivia point).

Gallery
Galleries will be following our standard gallery template used on other pages. They will be dividing into sections for Concept Art, Song PV, Game PV, and Misc. For the sake of organization, do not use duplicate or extremely similar PV images within the same gallery. The fewer the images needed, the more concise the gallery
