I like having stuff like this public. Mostly to alert people of what I'm plotting to do next and stuff? I tend to ramble a lot though and props to you if you can pick apart what my point is.

See, look, I'm rambling again. :|

Current focus: Graphics and design.... I think. I can't stay focused very well, but that's what I want to work on. :V

Simple notes

 * Put up rough outlines of various locations
 * Japanese names -- not that anyone cares about this except myself! But I care about it quite a bit, so in they go. >:3 It just feels so much more complete with info on the Japanese games. imo. And hell if I know Japanese okayish (ja-2 or so orz) and have played all of the games in Japanese, of course I'll add info!
 * Uploading images for articles
 * Putting your vast knowledge of useless crap to use
 * Putting together a more professional list of things to do for other people, instead of having a rambly and self-centered page like this

FUN DESIGN REVISION STUFF YAY.
Now that we're in NIWA, I feel as though making the site not-ugly is a huge priority.
 * Start creating more templates
 * Specifics: Fixing up Enemy infobox/M3, fixing the character palette to not suck, reorganizing enemies (oy)
 * Location page outlines will need: A pretty list of enemies and a pretty list of items, template-wise
 * A skin is currently being worked on-- the completed mockup I did is this, and it's currently being CSS-ified by Dillion. Woo.
 * Site mascot: LUCAS. Or Claus. :D
 * Okay, fangirling aside, I actually keep playing with the idea of either of them being a mascot of sorts. >_> I mean he is kind of iconic (sorta... he's known, thanks to Brawl), and he could be sorta like Wikipe-tan! Except... not a moe girl. And conveniently both Lucas and Claus match the main WB color scheme! And he's adorable! Okay, maybe I didn't put the fangirling aside for a second there.
 * I would go with Ness or something instead since he's probably more well-known, but I kind of feel like that would be a too obvious choice, or that he's more associated with other sites already (EB Central sprung to mind for a moment there)... hmm.
 * Of course, there's also having no mascot, but... that's no fun! WB should be a fun place! :D
 * Making the item tables not look bland and crappy. This will be hard!
 * Versions: Armor/weapons, recovery, in-battle, misc and key items
 * Find images for things-- find character sprites, scan in game boxes, and make useless icons for things when I get the chance. I can't get screenshots, though.
 * Good progress on this so far! I'm mostly getting overworld sprites for characters, and any alternate sprites and stuff they may have. Probably going to scan more things from M1+2, as well.

The Backburner

 * Holding off on working on enemies until we can get everything sorted out-- the reform project seems to have died down, I need to poke people into a discussion, I think.
 * Most writing-related things, mostly focusing on designs and style right now. However, I do actually really want to do the history section for the games. Weird!

Site guidelines to implement..??

 * Play nice! I have hopes for this place being friendly and open to its editors. I'm frankly tired of looking at places and seeing the staff treat everyone outside of their little circle like they're a pile of crap.
 * On translations; For Mother 3 things... I apologize for not really talking to anyone first before going through with this, but I ended up using the fan translations for everything... haha. Although I know that it's not always direct, to make the translation more 'official' sounding, I'd still put the fan translation names in the English fields for templates and in articles, and then use the kana/direct translation for the little (Japanese: ) sections in articles. Did that make sense? I hope it did. See, this is why I don't write policy pages.
 * Spruce up policy pages, and make them rather lighthearted and fun. It makes it a lot less of a bore for newcomers to read, and it fits the personality of the Mother series pretty well. Brought this up with other staff, sounded like it was agreed upon. Neat!

I sure do have a lot of work to do, huh.
