To-Do List | Fandom

Nbajammer·9/9/2014 in Wiki Editing

1) Update existing monster, host, and Ultra pages to look and feel more like RangerWiki. Rather than list every episode, there should be a number of episodes and a list of appearances link. Also have it stated in this manner:

Episodes: 12 (Ginga)
1 (Mebius)

2) Remove background coloring from any infoboxes which retain it - this is the style Ultra Wiki uses and on top of that, it is hard to read. Lets use the gray and white style RangerWiki uses.
3) Ultraman (franchise) vs Ultraman (series) and similar headings - these seem to be interchangeable in various places around the wiki and between headers and articles. I think (series) should refer to the entirety of the franchise and Ultraman being the show (with (Hero) being the Ultraman itself). We should examine the structure and decide best how to correct this.
4) Update front page icons to use something more identifying to each series, current icons all look alike or very similar and it is hard to see what represents what.
5) Work on the comics (Aldo)
6) Bring back the slider but with a more varied list of links. 2/4 went to essentially pages from the same show.
7) Finish adding series to the Monobook sidebar
8) Fill in blank template pages
9) Continue to revert/delete content copied from Ultra Wiki by the sockpuppet of globally-blocked user CallMe232

Will update this post as need arises.

A Few questions/suggestions:

For (2.), Wouldn't it be a bit more suitable to use Red and Grey instead since those are the signature colors of Ultraman, or Has Ultra Wiki branded that? If so, there's always Yellow since Ultras are usually associated with Light.
For (4.), maybe using their chest designs instead as icons?

Red and Grey have been identified with Ultra Wiki and would be too close to their look. Plus, RangerWiki currently uses that look and is our own design, so we can use that. Yellow would be better than Red, but might be a little hard on the eyes.

Chest designs might work if they are easily distinguishable from each other - otherwise we'd be back in the same boat again.

Re: 5) Template:ComicInfo has been made. Feel free to use it on issue pages, Aldo.

For (2.) can the infoboxes be edited? It is lacking a "birthplace" tab, and using "m" and "tons" doesn't seem as professional as "Meters" and "Tons"

For (3.) Wouldn't the franchise be the entireity and the series be a part of the franchise? Say, Apple. The iPad series is part of their "Tablet" franchise.

For (4.), I'd say that using team logos is still a good way to go.

Finally, for (9.), can I get the link to the users page? We can track what "contributions" this user made to revert the damage.

Aldo, for the comics, I can help you with the Dark Horse Tiga comics, since I've read them.

2. Yeah we can change the m and tons - how relevant is the birthplace to the overall series?
3. Yes, the problem is the way pages/headers/etc are labelled. It's confusing.
4. That's what I was trying to get at, and failing miserably. If you look at Ultra Wiki's front page now they kinda use the chest designs as icons, so we can't use that (the chest designs).
9. Special:Contributions/769185
