====== I don't know how to name these ======
I was actually planning to do an update later this week. I set a personal deadline to get to all the [[tag:to rewrite]] tagged articles by the end of the week and then explain my progress. However, I ended up finishing all of it today.\\
===== Changes =====
Alongside listing the changes, I'll explain my reasoning in some cases.
==== Deleted Articles ====
  * All the Tropes and TVTropes
    * This was badly written and I don't care enough about either to bother rewriting it.
  * Cairo Desktop
    * Something I'll be mentioning a lot is my general distancing from software. As part of this, I got rid of the Cairo article (which wasn't really much to begin with). I've just found I'm not as interested in software as I thought I was.
  * Cube World Discord Server History
    * This one I think is a bit badly written for one, but it also exists on the Bibanon. Why bother maintaining my version?
  * Extreme Categorisation
    * It served no particular purpose.
  * Fandom
    * Similar to my distancing from software, I find the rest of the non-[[lb:chanverse]] internet to not be that interesting anymore.
  * Fediverse
    * Part of my distancing from software. I also happen to not care about the Fediverse at all and simply pointing out how it'll be a failure isn't that appealing.
  * Immersive Explorer
    * Distancing from software.
  * Kingdom of One City
    * This one I just didn't like. It can just be summarised as "a result of the HRE".
  * LiteStep
    * Distancing from software. I also don't use LiteStep and I only like non|step, which I take design inspirations from.
  * RetroShare
    * While it was part of my original rewrite wave, I didn't like even the rewrite version. Considering I'm going away from software, I felt it was a good time.
  * RSS
    * Just bad.
  * Shoko
    * Software distancing and I just personally didn't like the article. I use Shoko daily anyway, but I don't really mind what it is currently.
  * Shows
    * This index was removed because there are currently no articles for any shows.
  * Splicing
    * Bad article from the early days.
  * Standardised Language
    * I don't really believe in the concept anymore so I scrapped the article.
  * Tomorrowland Analysis
    * It was a dumb analysis that I came up with randomly while on a walk. Nothing too much to miss here.
  * UNIX Philosophy
    * Distancing from software and I also don't really like the philosophy?
  * Web Browsers
    * Distancing from software. I also happen to only have 3(?) browsers installed. Of those, I use only 1 of them daily, 1 I use if I need to check compatibility and the last one as a bit of a joke.
==== Mergers and Moves ====
I didn't delete all articles, in some cases I just moved them somewhere else (like the playground).
  * Aero
    * Only one I merged into another article. It currently exists in [[lb:Windows]]
  * Anime Artistic Styles
    * I moved this to the playground because I like the idea.
  * Anon State
    * The whole idea needs to be re-written slightly. I also realised a bit later that it actually describes modern democracies a little, which spooked me.
  * Community Migration
    * I like the idea, but hate the article.
  * Czech Fantasy
    * This article was never finished. Hopefully I can finish it one day.
  * Despair
    * My philosophical views have changed so drastically since I wrote this that it needs to be re-visited.
  * FoxTalk
    * I moved this to my private wiki to be worked on with my other story ideas.
  * Guide to Danganronpa
    * I didn't like the article.
  * Media Rating
    * I find it useful myself, although I don't think others will.
  * Megacorporations
    * I'm thinking of merging it into the governments article (once it's finished).
  * Osu
    * There wasn't much to it. So despite having a banner it's out.
==== Rewritten ====
Besides Acronyms and Nakige the rest are just skeletons to be expanded upon.
  * [[lb:Acronyms]]
  * [[lb:croan]]
  * [[lb:Danganronpa]]
  * [[lb:Nakige]]
  * [[lb:sao]]
==== Independent Reviews ====
I removed quite a few of these (because I didn't like them) and they may or may not return at some point. I'm not gonna bother listing them.
===== Plans =====
I'm thinking of completely redoing the indexes for media. I think they're fine, but could be better; considering I link to them near-constantly. I'm not sure how yet so I'll leave that for later.\\
The start for the LoreBook will also change to reflect the distancing from software. The philosophy section (which I previously removed and merged into the misc. section) will be reinstated as the "Satori" section. I picked "Satori" because wiktionary claims it's a Japanese approximation(?) of "Love of Wisdom" which is the meaning I originally intended from "Philosophy." Alongside that, the "Internet" section is getting removed entirely.\\
Despite my distancing from Software, I will probably create a "Recommended Software" article, similar to the InstallGentoo ones but me-flavoured.\\
The Chanverse stuff was dumped into the "Misc" section. Since the rest would have looked //very// imbalanced without it.\\
The number of articles looks to have dropped from **81** to **52**. So... at least something?\\
\\
Ninja... out!
