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 - mostly just any shops or other businesses, and a brief list of enemies in the area
  • 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
  • Write up history sections for the games, focus less on the game plots themselves

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, reorganizing enemies (oy)
      • Location page outlines will need: A pretty list of enemies and a pretty list of items, template-wise
  • 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

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.
