News
This is the News section of the website, it is forā¦ news. It includes an RSS feed that you can subscribe to so you donāt have to manually check. Correction, I thought it did, dunno what to do now.
Whoops
So I may have forgotten to do any work.
However, I will give an excuseā¦
I realised that I may have been far too ambitious. The amount of planned work was just too much. So I redid my priority list a bit, now itās a bit more reasonable so Iāll start going through it.
What was actually done
I donāt remember most of what I didā¦ what I do remember is the creation of some kind of dictionary, which is just a little bit of fun.
Besides that, there was the addition of Hangul Supremacy which is just a mirror of a few blog articles.
Not much else
What I will do now
Iām not completely sure, but Iāll work on getting through the redone priority list.
So I lost the priority list, now Iām not sure what to do.
Ninjaā¦ out!
Not much to Report
Unfortunately, I have not actually done all that much work over the past week. I will try to get some stuff done today, tomorrow and next week. I will also leave some stuff out for next time.
Results and Minor Announcement
As promised, a week has passed and I surprisingly have results. Unfortunately, I didnāt achieve everything I promised within that weekā¦
However, I decided Iād focus on what I did do rather than what I didnāt.
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.
ćØćć Article
The ćØćć article has been added. Not only that, but itās in a state where I consider it ādecent enough to be readā. It still isnāt as complete as I hoped it would have been.
What I will do with it now is fairly simpleā¦ Iāll continue working on it. However, itās gotten pretty big already, so Iām probably gonna split it into several other articles. Iāve 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 āindexā for Media Analysis. Itās 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. Iāll keep it as one for now. I decided Iād 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 Iām also gonna try to get the mobile script from 4-ch working.
Key
I added an article for Key although itās very bare-bones. Itās only a small explanation of who they are and what content they created. It might expand in the future but I canāt 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
Iāve created bare-bones articles for both Little Busters! and Charlotte. Only because I wanted to create banners for them. When Iāll fill them with content, I canāt be sure as theyāre 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 canāt be sure.
AA Support
I copied the styling for ź² from Rumiaās wiki. I have no idea what Iāll 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. Iāll explain what that means in a little bit.
Updates
What things were updated or changed in this week?
General Things
I think Iāve 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 ćØćć article. From now on, thatās the way Iāll write most thingsā¦ just that my grammar may improveā¦ along with other things.
Crying Game
I only changed the name of this page to NakigÄ. Iāll 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. Iāll 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 donāt really know though. The change also coincides with me changing my ālogoā 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 āaboutā thing.
Chanverse Articles
I rewrote both /azu/ and Channel4 so theyāre actually good now.
I may make some minor changes to Channel4ā¦ but nothing too drastic.
Tags
I changed the names of several tags although Iāve forgotten what those changes were.
Hydrus
The Hydrus article has been rewritten and itās fairly decent now I think.
RetroShare
This is one of the only things Iām not sure about. While I prefer it over the previous versionā¦ it still doesnāt 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 didnāt get to add information about the characters and worldbuilding yet unfortunately.
Franchise
I changed the franchise āindexā; I removed most tags and rewrote it in general.
"Indexes"
The pages for the types of media are now listed as āindexesā which are meant to aide navigation.
Hopefully, theyāll 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 donāt 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.
- I didnāt actually care about multich at all.
- It didnāt get anywhere and the original site is dead.
Innovative new textboard my ass.
Name TBD/Modern Myth
This I removed for two reasons.
- I didnāt write enough to justify it existing.
- I lost motivation to write about it.
- I developed religious beliefs, making the whole point moot.
It was originally intended as just a set of āmythsā and ālegendsā Iād make up and tell people for fun, because I was agnostic at the time. Since Iāve 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 Iām using tag to tag tag pages instead of tagging tag pages as the category tag.
Despair was removed because it served no particular purpose. Iāll be rewriting the despair article anyways so itās a minor loss.
Fandom I decided to just replace with the internet tag. Itās also entirely possible Iāll not write any fandom-related articles.
Language is maybe a temporary removal? There are currently only 2 articles dedicated to languages so thereās 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 āto_rewriteā tag. This is not something a regular reader should concern themselves with, as itās a tag intended for me only. You can ignore it if you want.
Itās there to mark any articles I think donāt conform to my writing style or are just bad. These articles are below my existing listā¦ but theyāll be high-priority when Iām through the list (the list isnāt that long). I donāt recommend reading most of theseā¦ because I think theyāre bad.
āConstructionā is now used to mark articles that are not quite finished. So same as before. I considered deleting this as wellā¦ but itās still fairly useful.
Minor Announcement
With the changes out of the wayā¦
YouTube
Iāll start adapting some of my (finished) articles into YouTube videos. Exactly what this means Iām not completely sure yetā¦ but I can say Iām 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 isnāt written is kinda dumb too.
Alongside that, Iām thinking of making one for ćØćć and one for the Final Station. Yes, two things that are not on anyoneās mind right now.
Howeverā¦ for thatā¦
Patreon?
I have the mind of a capitalist. Iām 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). Itās not up yet and Iām not planning to put it up until the first video is publishedā¦ if itās ever published.
Iāll be blunt and say my primary motivation is moneyā¦ not passion or anything like that. That being said, I wouldnāt be trying to monetise this stuff if I wasnāt interested in itā¦ but at the same time, I probably wouldnāt be working on any of this if I didnāt see myself getting some money out of it. Money is my primary motivationā¦ but it isnāt 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 isnāt 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 itās related to copyright.
What next?
Putting it simplyā¦ Iāll continue working through my priority list. The next five in the list areā¦
The list is a little longer of course.
Iāll simultaneously be working on the videos.
What else? Wellā¦ maybe a Cowboy Bebop article? But thatās not gonna be soon.
All of these seem like minor updates
This is a very early kind of update. I decided to share some kind of progress.
There are two goals with this article. The first is to outline to myself what I have to do, because I honestly doubt thereās anyone actually reading anything on this wiki. The second I forgot while writing this, but there is a second reason.
English-7 isn't happening
Iāve decided to abandon this project. Instead, Iāve decided to rely on trial and error. One thing I might work on is a pronunciation guide, but thatās for way later down the line.
Toaru Project
Iāll be adding characters, locations, worldbuilding stuff and speculation.
I had the idea of making an Academy City map. Specifically an interactive one. Kinda like what the index wiki has but a bit different.
Images are something Iād like to add to the article. So Iāll be experimenting with stuff like my own drawings and the like.
The first stuff Iāll add might be traces of screencaps. Why? Because, for some reason, the quality of my screencaps is really bad a lot of the time. But I donāt know for sure.
What specifically with Key stuff
This is a list and basic explanation.
-
- An article for them specifically, which I guess Iāve teased for a while? Iāll explain who they are, what articles theyāre connected to and some other stuff I guess?
-
- Just a small re-write. Iāve decided to turn āKazamatsuriā into a term for all Key related stuff.
-
- Will redo the review. Add the character and worldbuilding stuff. I considered making a chart showing every possible choice in the game, but I donāt think Iāll be making that for a while. Some speculah will probably be in here at some point.
-
- Well, the whole thing will be made at some point.
-
- Same as Little Busters.
I should have probably made a lot of these as independent reviews since I canāt remember what I wanted to add to many of them.
OS-tan
The first version of the article should just be a short explanation, list of tans and an adaptation of stuff on the collections wiki. Images are a wildcard right now.
/azu/, Channel4, Chanverse stuff
Iāll fix up my /azu/ article along with the Channel4 article. Iāll include screenshots of the main pages, links to the boards, impressions of the cultures and thatās it I think.
As for Chanverse stuff in general, Iām not sure how to deal with it. I have a feeling I should probably give up on it entirely (with the exception of those two mentioned above) because Iām not all that familiar with the Chanverse. Howeverā¦
I did say I was interested in making my own board, I decided to take this idea to a bit more of an extreme though. Iām wondering if I could successfully create boards around a lot of the topics I like (Toaru, OS-tan, Kazamatsuri, the rest). Iām leaning towards āno, I could not do itā and I doubt Iād even be able to run a lot of it.
That being said, this is likely something I will try. But how long until I do Iām not sure.
That will likely be my āfullā entry into the Chanverse. I have no intention of being special in the Chanverse space, I donāt want any kind of gimmick, I donāt want to supplant any big boards or sitesā¦ I just want a place where I can discuss the things Iām interested in, which Iāve failed to find.
Guides
There are about 3 guides on this wiki. I will rewrite all of them, I think.
The big one is Guide to Japanese Media, which Iāll change since itās just a list of content I like. Itās also a really poor article and I really donāt like it.
The second one, which is a lower priority, would be Guide to Danganronpa. How Iāll change it Iām not sure at all.
The third one is āWindows Ricing Guideā which can be confused for āWindows Ricingā and yet is closer to āWindows Themeingā - Iāll just merge all of them. What itāll look like when finished I have no idea.
Hydrus, Retroshare and other Software articles
I will change all of these at some point. I thought I liked my Retroshare article, but then I actually looked at it. Hydrus has a poor article as well.
I donāt like any of my software articles so Iāll be rewriting them. Iāll start with Hydrus and then use it as a template for others.
Philosophy
I have no idea what the philosophy section has changed into, but Iāll be changing it.
One thing I will add soon is an article about āClansā. It will just be an explanation of how I think clans work.
Media Articles
Although Iāll be focusing my effort on the Toaru Project and then Kazamatsuri stuffā¦ I will eventually move onto the other media articles that have been neglected.
The ones thatāll be worked on first will probably be KamiNomi and Cross Ange: Tenshi to RyÅ« no Rondo. After that Iāll move onto SAO and ĪLDNOĪH.ZERO. I might get to The Final Station.
Story stuff
I will start working on āHi, I'm Daveā. When I will start and when Iāll be done I donāt know.
Besides that, Iāll restart work on āAngel Beats! - Wild Heaven - Birth of the Marinesā. The way I wrote the prologue thing really irks me so Iāll change it.
Queen of the Caliphate is unlikely to be done anytime soon.
One thing I think Iāll start working on is SAO R\R and Iāll publish the first chapterā¦ sometime.
Images
Wiki
Iāll change the logo and favicon. Iāll be redesigning the logo as well, because I donāt like the current version at all.
Articles
Some articles lack images. Actually, most articles lack images. Iāll be adding banners to all media articles. Iāll be adding character portraits once I bother to draw them. Iāll be addingā¦ some kind of other images too.
Itāll be greatā¦ maybe.
Universals
I wrote an article called āUniversal Magic Systemāā¦ it got lost. So Iāll start writing it again.
Another article that will be worked on is āUniversal Character Descriptorā which probably wonāt actually exist.
Start
Iāll be changing the starts of all the various sub-sections because I donāt like any of them. Theyāre typically long, have no colour (besides red heh) and have awkwardly written sentences.
Alt-Wikis
Fan wikis for certain things are a hit or miss kind of deal. Several times I had the idea of making my own versions of themā¦ I will not obviously.
Instead, Iāll probably try to emulate a lot of wikis but with my own twists.
Something thatās always puzzled me is how character articles will sometimes explain almost the entire story in a āHistoryā or āChronologyā section and yet leave the rest of the article barren. Personalities? Relationships? Trivia? Appearances? Description? - nah, those are all secondary.
This kinda pisses me off a little, so thatās basically what Iāll be doingā¦ I think.
General stuff
I suck at descriptions of Characters
I am ridiculously bad at describing people beyond extremely simple descriptions. While I let this hold me back on actually describing people, Iāve decided to fuckit. Iāll be adding personality descriptions and I wonāt really care how accurate they are. If I canāt describe what theyāre like, Iāll try to describe how they act. With time, Iāll get better at it.
I'm very lazy
I am terrible at getting to work. Iām also really bad at committing to something, choosing instead to bounce from one thing to another. No idea how to solve this, but Iāll do my best.
Hell, getting myself to write this article took a lot.
Reviews on hold
I originally started writing all the reviews on here because it was quick and easy. This meant I could fill up the wiki really quickly with a lot of content. As a result though, this is what the description of the wiki is on Rumia's wiki:
A personal wiki by āNinjasrā. Itās mostly reviews.
Although a completely accurate description, I really donāt like it. So Iāll stop myself from writing reviews for a while. For Toaru, Iāll ignore writing them until I have either:
- Split the article into multiple articles.
- Finished writing everything besides the reviews. (Unlikely)
Once Iām satisfied enough with the rest of what I promised in this update, Iāll start writing reviews again. But Iāll first rewriteā¦ most of them I think.
Footnotes
I used footnotes forā¦ well footnotes. Iād add some extra information I thought people might be interested in. Then I realised people donāt actually read them. So thereās a bit of a change now, Iāll be using either (brackets) or Iāll work whatever I want to say into the article. Youāll notice the Toaru article has only 1 footnote and Iām considering getting rid of it.
Minimal Swears
Iāll be minimizing the amount I swear on this website.
Readers should not assume itās because I want to be āchild-friendlyā or that I dislike swears. IRL, I donāt swear that much. Most of the time, I have to āforceā it out. By default, I donāt really swear that much.
A lot of the swearing on here was honestly there because I tried mimicking 0037's wiki. I find it kinda unnatural and unnecessary now so Iāll put it to a stop.
Side-Projects
One reason Iām focusing so much on this wiki now is that Iām starting off a few other projects. As part of that, I decided to turn this place into a sort of ācoreā that all the other projects stem from. Logically then, it makes sense to make the core as healthy as possible.
I wonāt yet reveal what those side-projects are, since I donāt even know if Iāll get them up and running.
That's it
This update turned out to be much longer than I expected. Itās only been a day since the last one too, but I kinda had to write this.
So yeah, next update in a week. Yes, Iāll hold back.
Ninjaā¦ out!
Early-ish minor update
So some time has passed and the fruits of my labourā¦
Well, letās just say Iām still working on it.
Obviously Iām still working on (I think?) what I said Iād work on last time. What I mean specifically is the Toaru Project and English-7. I honestly forgot about the images though. Letās just say that I donāt have a specific due date, but I will work on getting it done ASAP.
So anywayā¦
Kazamtsuri
I decided to work on Kazamtsuri stuff as well, since I said Iād do that ages ago. Iām placing Angel Beats! under this category as well, so finishing the article for it is part of this priority as well.
That being said, there really isnāt much I think is worth saving from the main site. I wasnāt a regular there however.
Also, Toaru Project is still a higher priority.
OS-tan
Adding onto what Iām gonna work on is this. I noticed the OS-tan collections wiki hasnāt been updated inā¦ I donāt even know how long. So now Iām gonna be adding some OS-tan content here in a desperate attempt to get it going again.
Exactly what Iāll be adding I donāt know just yet and since itās a lower priority than the rest, I wonāt know for a while.
/azu/
I will fix up the article for /azu/. I have no idea what itāll be like yet, but Iāll be using the 4-ch article from the tanasinn wiki as inspiration.
Guide to Japanese Media
Itās probably time for me to remake the whole thing. Itās a garbage article.
Hydrus
Fixing up the Hydrus article maybe.
Possible board of some kind?
I was thinking of setting up a textboard, Iām still not sure if making one is a good idea or not.
Although Iām constantly leaning towards setting one up, the chance of that actually happening is small since Iām very lazy.
Another small update
Iāll be writing an article about clans, but exactly when Iām not sure.
The rest
Iāll try my best to add content to articles that have been lacking it for a while.
It might sound strange, but I like reading back my own stuffā¦ but this wiki is barren and what is there isnāt all that good. Iāll try my best to add as much as I can while keeping it good.
Ninjaā¦ out!
