Ultimate Tails Gets Trolled Wiki:To-do
Want to help out but don't know where to start? Here is a list of things you could help with.
In General
- Add images - particularly for articles that are very long. Slipping images to help break up the text can help make things look a little nicer. Even just adding to the gallery section helps too.
- Adding the proper images to each chapter's gallery. Each image should ideally also be placed under the relevant character pages.
- Updating images with higher resolution versions.
- Checking Special:UnusedFiles for images not used elsewhere and putting those on relevant pages can help as well.
- You can take a look at Special:AncientPages to see pages that have not been edited in a while and go over them, checking for any mistakes.
- In general, just reading through some of the pages and making sure they are accurate can help a lot.
Editing pages
- Proofreading - reading over any page and making corrections is always welcome. In particular, correcting grammar mistakes, adding missing details or correcting misinterpretations (related: rewording text to use an minimal assumptions whenever possible), or just making sure links go the proper places.
- Making sure most pages have the following:
- A quote on top of the page if applicable
- Appearance - a short section describing how the character looks and any notable changes or oddities in their appearance over the course of the story. (For example, Tails and his changing amount of tails, or Hulk's strange arm proportions.)
- History section detailing what they did in the comic
- Personality
- Abilities - list out things the character is capable of doing.
- Quotes (if applicable) - a collection of things the character as said. Can be anything.
- Real Life Origins (if the character is not an original character, describe who they are and what type of media are they from originally) and Differences (list the differences between their TGT characterization and regular. Even blatantly obvious differences such as Fudd not being a necromancer in the original Looney Tunes can be added.)
- Names in other languages - how the character's name was localized into the other translations.
- Trivia (if applicable)
- Gallery
- References
Pages should also follow this order of sections (see Tails for an example of a page that uses all sections).
Updating profile images
As noted in the Guidelines, let's try to update each character's profile image to try and include:
- A more recent image of them in the comic
- As close to a full body shot as possible
Updating the Updates Template
Template:Updates should be updated from time to time to try and reflect any important changes on the tailsgetstrolled.org website. Main updates should be limited to just new pages of the main Tails Gets Trolled series. Misc. updates should include new pages of any translations or spinoffs.
Chapter 23 update
Since Chapter 23 has concluded, let's make sure each relevant character's pages are updated. These mainly include, but are not limited to:
Script pages
Scripts for the chapter pages are not a priority, but would be nice to have as a resource. A user on the Discord has created a file containing some of the chapters and interesting stats (Chapters 1-10, 23 particularly) which should save some work. (download link here)
All that really needs to be done is just adding cleaning up and adding "action" messages (ie, Tails is punched in the face, Mario powers up, etc.) as needed. See tails gets trolled (Chapter 1)/Script or chapter 2: trolls attack/Script as examples.
Image categorization
We're working on categorizing all the images on the wiki by adding a [[Category: (character name) images]] tag (ie, images that have Rob in them would have the category Category: Rob images). That way things can be a little more organized. If anyone wants to help out, feel free to jump in.
Misc. "research" projects
None of this is vital to have, but would be super interesting to have for historical purposes.
- As mentioned in the Know Your Meme interview, Lazerbot had experienced a moment where his friend on DeviantArt got trolled. I wonder if it would be possible to find out:
- The original Tails and Shadow accounts that Lazerbot used, if they still exist
- Any comments still leftover of Lazerbot's friend being trolled
- The original comments used for the Chapter 6 troll off. Some of them have been cited but the others remain a mystery. The remaining ones appear to have been apart of an old DeviantArt journal Lazerbot used to have, so it might be lost to time (and if so there's nothing we can really do about that) but if anyone knows of a way/has pics of it then feel free to help out there. The same goes for the Troll Off in the Adventure of Underbite Troll as well (at least, I'm assuming it was also a fan contribution.)
