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 don’t 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 that’s because I made a few small decisions.
First off, I’m gonna be removing a lot of links from the wiki. The main reason why is that it puts uneccessary pressure on me (and I won’t 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 won’t be created and then gradually updated; instead, I’ll be creating a private one and once it’s at a decent enough level I’ll publish it. The exceptions being those that are already published.
Besides that, I’ve recreated my priority list… but I got distracted with my Hydrus database so I forgot to do any work… oops.

That’s basically it?

Oh right, I decided to delete the web browsers article. Why? Because it was bad and I’m 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 it’s no guarantee. I may also end up deleting my other software articles. Dunno yet.

Big whoops

Guess who forgot about the wiki again?
Was I busy? No. I was just lazy.

Changes

I rewrote the Ī›LDNOĪ›H.ZERO, Frozen and PrŔí 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 ā€œsmallā€ and simple articles, similar to Review Collection. Hangul Supremacy is the only real exception and I don’t know when I’ll actually start working on it properly.
Will I start working more regularly on the wiki now? Perhaps. I hope so.

Whoops

So I may have forgotten to do any work.
However, I will give an excuse…
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 it’s a bit more reasonable so I’ll start going through it.

What was actually done

I don’t 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

I’m not completely sure, but I’ll work on getting through the redone priority list.
So I lost the priority list, now I’m 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 didn’t achieve everything I promised within that week…
However, I decided I’d focus on what I did do rather than what I didn’t.

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.

とある Article

The とある article has been added. Not only that, but it’s in a state where I consider it ā€œdecent enough to be readā€. It still isn’t as complete as I hoped it would have been.
What I will do with it now is fairly simple… I’ll continue working on it. However, it’s gotten pretty big already, so I’m probably gonna split it into several other articles. I’ve 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 ā€œindexā€ for Media Analysis. It’s 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. I’ll keep it as one for now. I decided I’d 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 I’m also gonna try to get the mobile script from 4-ch working.

Key

I added an article for Key although it’s very bare-bones. It’s only a small explanation of who they are and what content they created. It might expand in the future but I can’t 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

I’ve created bare-bones articles for both Little Busters! and Charlotte. Only because I wanted to create banners for them. When I’ll fill them with content, I can’t be sure as they’re 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 can’t be sure.

AA Support

I copied the styling for AA from Rumia’s wiki. I have no idea what I’ll 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. I’ll explain what that means in a little bit.

Updates

What things were updated or changed in this week?

General Things

I think I’ve 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 とある article. From now on, that’s the way I’ll write most things… just that my grammar may improve… along with other things.

Crying Game

I only changed the name of this page to Nakigē. I’ll 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. I’ll 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 don’t really know though. The change also coincides with me changing my ā€œlogoā€ 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 ā€œaboutā€ thing.

Chanverse Articles

I rewrote both /azu/ and Channel4 so they’re actually good now.
I may make some minor changes to Channel4… but nothing too drastic.

Tags

I changed the names of several tags although I’ve forgotten what those changes were.

Hydrus

The Hydrus article has been rewritten and it’s fairly decent now I think.

RetroShare

This is one of the only things I’m not sure about. While I prefer it over the previous version… it still doesn’t 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 didn’t get to add information about the characters and worldbuilding yet unfortunately.

Franchise

I changed the franchise ā€œindexā€; I removed most tags and rewrote it in general.

"Indexes"

The pages for the types of media are now listed as ā€œindexesā€ which are meant to aide navigation.
Hopefully, they’ll 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 don’t 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.

  1. I didn’t actually care about multich at all.
  2. It didn’t get anywhere and the original site is dead.

Innovative new textboard my ass.

Name TBD/Modern Myth

This I removed for two reasons.

  1. I didn’t write enough to justify it existing.
  2. I lost motivation to write about it.
  3. I developed religious beliefs, making the whole point moot.

It was originally intended as just a set of ā€œmythsā€ and ā€œlegendsā€ I’d make up and tell people for fun, because I was agnostic at the time. Since I’ve 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 I’m using tag to tag tag pages instead of tagging tag pages as the category tag.
Despair was removed because it served no particular purpose. I’ll be rewriting the despair article anyways so it’s a minor loss.
Fandom I decided to just replace with the internet tag. It’s also entirely possible I’ll not write any fandom-related articles.
Language is maybe a temporary removal? There are currently only 2 articles dedicated to languages so there’s 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 ā€œto_rewriteā€ tag. This is not something a regular reader should concern themselves with, as it’s a tag intended for me only. You can ignore it if you want.
It’s there to mark any articles I think don’t conform to my writing style or are just bad. These articles are below my existing list… but they’ll be high-priority when I’m through the list (the list isn’t that long). I don’t recommend reading most of these… because I think they’re bad.
ā€œConstructionā€ is now used to mark articles that are not quite finished. So same as before. I considered deleting this as well… but it’s still fairly useful.

Minor Announcement

With the changes out of the way…

YouTube

I’ll start adapting some of my (finished) articles into YouTube videos. Exactly what this means I’m not completely sure yet… but I can say I’m 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 isn’t written is kinda dumb too.

Alongside that, I’m thinking of making one for とある and one for the Final Station. Yes, two things that are not on anyone’s mind right now.
However… for that…

Patreon?

I have the mind of a capitalist. I’m 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). It’s not up yet and I’m not planning to put it up until the first video is published… if it’s ever published.
I’ll be blunt and say my primary motivation is money… not passion or anything like that. That being said, I wouldn’t be trying to monetise this stuff if I wasn’t interested in it… but at the same time, I probably wouldn’t be working on any of this if I didn’t see myself getting some money out of it. Money is my primary motivation… but it isn’t 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 isn’t 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 it’s related to copyright.

What next?

Putting it simply… I’ll continue working through my priority list. The next five in the list are…

The list is a little longer of course.
I’ll simultaneously be working on the videos.
What else? Well… maybe a Cowboy Bebop article? But that’s not gonna be soon.
