Results and Minor Announcement

As promised, a week has passed and I surprisingly have results. Unfortunately, I didnā€™t achieve everything I promised within that weekā€¦
However, I decided Iā€™d focus on what I did do rather than what I didnā€™t.

Changes

I will proceed to list everything that I have changedā€¦ 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.

ćØ恂悋 Article

The ćØ恂悋 article has been added. Not only that, but itā€™s in a state where I consider it ā€œdecent enough to be readā€. It still isnā€™t as complete as I hoped it would have been.
What I will do with it now is fairly simpleā€¦ Iā€™ll continue working on it. However, itā€™s gotten pretty big already, so Iā€™m probably gonna split it into several other articles. Iā€™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. Itā€™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. Iā€™ll keep it as one for now. I decided Iā€™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 Iā€™m also gonna try to get the mobile script from 4-ch working.

Key

I added an article for Key although itā€™s very bare-bones. Itā€™s only a small explanation of who they are and what content they created. It might expand in the future but I canā€™t promise anything.

Images

Probably the largest change. I added a bunch of Imagesā€¦ 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

Iā€™ve created bare-bones articles for both Little Busters! and Charlotte. Only because I wanted to create banners for them. When Iā€™ll fill them with content, I canā€™t be sure as theyā€™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 canā€™t be sure.

AA Support

I copied the styling for źœ² from Rumiaā€™s wiki. I have no idea what Iā€™ll use it forā€¦ but I got it.

Construction and Rewrite Banners

I added two extra images to mark articles as under construction or to rewrite. Iā€™ll explain what that means in a little bit.

Updates

What things were updated or changed in this week?

General Things

I think Iā€™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 ćØ恂悋 article. From now on, thatā€™s the way Iā€™ll write most thingsā€¦ just that my grammar may improveā€¦ along with other things.

Crying Game

I only changed the name of this page to Nakigē. Iā€™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. Iā€™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 donā€™t really know though. The change also coincides with me changing my ā€œlogoā€ in generalā€¦ 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 theyā€™re actually good now.
I may make some minor changes to Channel4ā€¦ but nothing too drastic.

Tags

I changed the names of several tags although Iā€™ve forgotten what those changes were.

Hydrus

The Hydrus article has been rewritten and itā€™s fairly decent now I think.

RetroShare

This is one of the only things Iā€™m not sure about. While I prefer it over the previous versionā€¦ it still doesnā€™t fully agree with me. Rewrite may come sometime in the futureā€¦ or full-on deletion.

Angel Beats!

I rewrote the reviews so they are both clearer (maybe) and fuller.
I didnā€™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, theyā€™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 donā€™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 didnā€™t actually care about multich at all.
  2. It didnā€™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 didnā€™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€ Iā€™d make up and tell people for fun, because I was agnostic at the time. Since Iā€™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 finishedā€¦ 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 Iā€™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. Iā€™ll be rewriting the despair article anyways so itā€™s a minor loss.
Fandom I decided to just replace with the internet tag. Itā€™s also entirely possible Iā€™ll not write any fandom-related articles.
Language is maybe a temporary removal? There are currently only 2 articles dedicated to languages so thereā€™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"

Soā€¦ I added a ā€œto_rewriteā€ tag. This is not something a regular reader should concern themselves with, as itā€™s a tag intended for me only. You can ignore it if you want.
Itā€™s there to mark any articles I think donā€™t conform to my writing style or are just bad. These articles are below my existing listā€¦ but theyā€™ll be high-priority when Iā€™m through the list (the list isnā€™t that long). I donā€™t recommend reading most of theseā€¦ because I think theyā€™re bad.
ā€œConstructionā€ is now used to mark articles that are not quite finished. So same as before. I considered deleting this as wellā€¦ but itā€™s still fairly useful.

Minor Announcement

With the changes out of the wayā€¦

YouTube

Iā€™ll start adapting some of my (finished) articles into YouTube videos. Exactly what this means Iā€™m not completely sure yetā€¦ but I can say Iā€™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 isnā€™t written is kinda dumb too.

Alongside that, Iā€™m thinking of making one for ćØ恂悋 and one for the Final Station. Yes, two things that are not on anyoneā€™s mind right now.
Howeverā€¦ for thatā€¦

Patreon?

I have the mind of a capitalist. Iā€™m setting up a patreon and planning to have it work forā€¦ anything and everything I do in the future (which includes the channel, the wiki and some of my other side-projects). Itā€™s not up yet and Iā€™m not planning to put it up until the first video is publishedā€¦ if itā€™s ever published.
Iā€™ll be blunt and say my primary motivation is moneyā€¦ not passion or anything like that. That being said, I wouldnā€™t be trying to monetise this stuff if I wasnā€™t interested in itā€¦ but at the same time, I probably wouldnā€™t be working on any of this if I didnā€™t see myself getting some money out of it. Money is my primary motivationā€¦ but it isnā€™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 isnā€™t that good)ā€¦ to that I sayā€¦ well, whatever.

One other thing

To make the Patreon announcement far less shitty soundingā€¦ I will reveal next week, when I have an article detailing it written.
For now, just keep in mind itā€™s related to copyright.

What next?

Putting it simplyā€¦ Iā€™ll continue working through my priority list. The next five in the list areā€¦

The list is a little longer of course.
Iā€™ll simultaneously be working on the videos.
What else? Wellā€¦ maybe a Cowboy Bebop article? But thatā€™s not gonna be soon.
