News
This is the News section of the website, it is for⦠news. It includes an RSS feed that you can subscribe to so you donāt have to manually check. Correction, I thought it did, dunno what to do now.
Redo
This update is coming a little sooner than expected and thatās because I made a few small decisions.
First off, Iām gonna be removing a lot of links from the wiki. The main reason why is that it puts uneccessary pressure on me (and I wonāt actually make articles for most of those any time soon).
And as a part of that, I will stop sharing my plans (for this wiki) with my readers, outside of these smaller updates. So new articles wonāt be created and then gradually updated; instead, Iāll be creating a private one and once itās at a decent enough level Iāll publish it. The exceptions being those that are already published.
Besides that, Iāve recreated my priority list⦠but I got distracted with my Hydrus database so I forgot to do any work⦠oops.
Thatās basically it?
Oh right, I decided to delete the web browsers article. Why? Because it was bad and Iām not that interested in the topic anymore. (It was also very old, still having templates I stopped using a while ago).
I might return to browsers in the future, but itās no guarantee. I may also end up deleting my other software articles. Dunno yet.
Ninja⦠out!
Big whoops
Guess who forgot about the wiki again?
Was I busy? No. I was just lazy.
Changes
I rewrote the ĪLDNOĪH.ZERO, Frozen and PrŔà articles. They are far better than before, but still a little lacking.
I added a couple of smaller articles such as:
Most of these are āsmallā and simple articles, similar to Review Collection. Hangul Supremacy is the only real exception and I donāt know when Iāll actually start working on it properly.
Will I start working more regularly on the wiki now? Perhaps. I hope so.
Ninja⦠out!
Whoops
So I may have forgotten to do any work.
However, I will give an excuseā¦
I realised that I may have been far too ambitious. The amount of planned work was just too much. So I redid my priority list a bit, now itās a bit more reasonable so Iāll start going through it.
What was actually done
I donāt remember most of what I did⦠what I do remember is the creation of some kind of dictionary, which is just a little bit of fun.
Besides that, there was the addition of Hangul Supremacy which is just a mirror of a few blog articles.
Not much else
What I will do now
Iām not completely sure, but Iāll work on getting through the redone priority list.
So I lost the priority list, now Iām not sure what to do.
Ninja⦠out!
Not much to Report
Unfortunately, I have not actually done all that much work over the past week. I will try to get some stuff done today, tomorrow and next week. I will also leave some stuff out for next time.
Results and Minor Announcement
As promised, a week has passed and I surprisingly have results. Unfortunately, I didnāt achieve everything I promised within that weekā¦
However, I decided Iād focus on what I did do rather than what I didnāt.
Changes
I will proceed to list everything that I have changed⦠or at least the things I remembered I changed. Listed in no particular order.
Additions
What have I added? Well, not as much as I hoped to.
ćØćć Article
The ćØćć article has been added. Not only that, but itās in a state where I consider it ādecent enough to be readā. It still isnāt as complete as I hoped it would have been.
What I will do with it now is fairly simple⦠Iāll continue working on it. However, itās gotten pretty big already, so Iām probably gonna split it into several other articles. Iāve decided to do this only when the individual sections get too large (the character section and the descriptions of characters go too far, the worldbuilding section gets too big (the one most likely to happen soon)).
Media Analysis
I added an āindexā for Media Analysis. Itās only a place to list analyses that have no media article dedicated to them.
Rounge Textboard
As I said I would, I added a textboard. Iāll keep it as one for now. I decided Iād only split it (create boards for specific topics) if a topic keeps coming up too frequently.
I plan to add my own stylesheet at some point and Iām also gonna try to get the mobile script from 4-ch working.
Key
I added an article for Key although itās very bare-bones. Itās only a small explanation of who they are and what content they created. It might expand in the future but I canāt promise anything.
Images
Probably the largest change. I added a bunch of Images⦠like an insane amount. It started with a small idea and then another and suddenly I had them all made.
The number of images will only grow as I get better and better at making them.
Little Busters! and Charlotte
Iāve created bare-bones articles for both Little Busters! and Charlotte. Only because I wanted to create banners for them. When Iāll fill them with content, I canāt be sure as theyāre fairly low in the priority list.
Clans
I made an article on Clans which I will work on improving after some time has passed. You might find it interesting, I canāt be sure.
AA Support
I copied the styling for AA from Rumiaās wiki. I have no idea what Iāll use it for⦠but I got it.
Construction and Rewrite Banners
I added two extra images to mark articles as under construction or to rewrite. Iāll explain what that means in a little bit.
Updates
What things were updated or changed in this week?
General Things
I think Iāve basically figured out my writing style. The /azu/ and Channel4 articles basically made it clear to me and I tried to perfect it in the ćØćć article. From now on, thatās the way Iāll write most things⦠just that my grammar may improve⦠along with other things.
Crying Game
I only changed the name of this page to NakigÄ. Iāll rewrite it at some point.
Windows
I merged the 3 previous articles on Windows ricing into a single article. Now it should be more clear. Iāll be putting all ricing related stuff into there from now on.
Wiki Branding (heh)
I finally got around to changing the logo and favicon. Whether the favicon is working properly I donāt really know though. The change also coincides with me changing my ālogoā in general⦠I think it expresses me better than the previous ones.
Starts
I changed start, Essarr LoreBook and Stories. I removed the banner from start (as there was no point to it), I rewrote and rearranged lb and rearranged st.
About
I changed the entire article on me and now it actually represents an āaboutā thing.
Chanverse Articles
I rewrote both /azu/ and Channel4 so theyāre actually good now.
I may make some minor changes to Channel4⦠but nothing too drastic.
Tags
I changed the names of several tags although Iāve forgotten what those changes were.
Hydrus
The Hydrus article has been rewritten and itās fairly decent now I think.
RetroShare
This is one of the only things Iām not sure about. While I prefer it over the previous version⦠it still doesnāt fully agree with me. Rewrite may come sometime in the future⦠or full-on deletion.
Angel Beats!
I rewrote the reviews so they are both clearer (maybe) and fuller.
I didnāt get to add information about the characters and worldbuilding yet unfortunately.
Franchise
I changed the franchise āindexā; I removed most tags and rewrote it in general.
"Indexes"
The pages for the types of media are now listed as āindexesā which are meant to aide navigation.
Hopefully, theyāll become better than the tags (which I intend to have mostly to help me).
Spoilers
I fixed the styling for spoilers so they actually look decent and you donāt have to select text to see them.
Deletions
Believe it or not, I have deleted a few things.
Multich
I got rid of the multich article as I realised a few things.
- I didnāt actually care about multich at all.
- It didnāt get anywhere and the original site is dead.
Innovative new textboard my ass.
Name TBD/Modern Myth
This I removed for two reasons.
- I didnāt write enough to justify it existing.
- I lost motivation to write about it.
- I developed religious beliefs, making the whole point moot.
It was originally intended as just a set of āmythsā and ālegendsā Iād make up and tell people for fun, because I was agnostic at the time. Since Iāve since started adopting an actual religion, this point is quickly going away.
Instead, I promise to write about my current beliefs in the (hopefully) near future.
Deleted tags
I deleted a few tags, although not many.
- Finished
- Category
- Despair
- Fandom
- Language
- Project R\R (Temporary)
I saw no point in marking articles specifically as finished⦠because the construction/rewrite banner is more useful.
Just assume that if neither of those is present, the article is done.
The category tag was basically just replaced with the tag tag. As I found tagging tag pages as categories instead of tags was a needless complication just because I preferred the word category over tag. So now Iām using tag to tag tag pages instead of tagging tag pages as the category tag.
Despair was removed because it served no particular purpose. Iāll be rewriting the despair article anyways so itās a minor loss.
Fandom I decided to just replace with the internet tag. Itās also entirely possible Iāll not write any fandom-related articles.
Language is maybe a temporary removal? There are currently only 2 articles dedicated to languages so thereās no point in keeping this.
Project R\R only has a passing mention in a single article. I hope to get to R\R by the time I get to the SAO article in my priority list.
"To Be Rewritten" VS "Construction"
So⦠I added a āto_rewriteā tag. This is not something a regular reader should concern themselves with, as itās a tag intended for me only. You can ignore it if you want.
Itās there to mark any articles I think donāt conform to my writing style or are just bad. These articles are below my existing list⦠but theyāll be high-priority when Iām through the list (the list isnāt that long). I donāt recommend reading most of these⦠because I think theyāre bad.
āConstructionā is now used to mark articles that are not quite finished. So same as before. I considered deleting this as well⦠but itās still fairly useful.
Minor Announcement
With the changes out of the wayā¦
YouTube
Iāll start adapting some of my (finished) articles into YouTube videos. Exactly what this means Iām not completely sure yet⦠but I can say Iām thinking of doing two right now and two in the near future.
- Clans - Why do you think it was so high in the priority list?
- Emoji - This I just for fun and it might not even be made. The fact the article isnāt written is kinda dumb too.
Alongside that, Iām thinking of making one for ćØćć and one for the Final Station. Yes, two things that are not on anyoneās mind right now.
However⦠for thatā¦
Patreon?
I have the mind of a capitalist. Iām setting up a patreon and planning to have it work for⦠anything and everything I do in the future (which includes the channel, the wiki and some of my other side-projects). Itās not up yet and Iām not planning to put it up until the first video is published⦠if itās ever published.
Iāll be blunt and say my primary motivation is money⦠not passion or anything like that. That being said, I wouldnāt be trying to monetise this stuff if I wasnāt interested in it⦠but at the same time, I probably wouldnāt be working on any of this if I didnāt see myself getting some money out of it. Money is my primary motivation⦠but it isnāt my only one.
Many members of the chanverse (if any are reading this) may be disgusted by me wanting to earn some money off of what I do (especially when it isnāt that good)⦠to that I say⦠well, whatever.
One other thing
To make the Patreon announcement far less shitty sounding⦠I will reveal next week, when I have an article detailing it written.
For now, just keep in mind itās related to copyright.
What next?
Putting it simply⦠Iāll continue working through my priority list. The next five in the list areā¦
The list is a little longer of course.
Iāll simultaneously be working on the videos.
What else? Well⦠maybe a Cowboy Bebop article? But thatās not gonna be soon.
