Black Survival Wiki:Tasks

The following tasks still need to be completed. Thank you for contributing! Top Priority = updating the wiki to the most recent game patch.

Character Statistics (Urgent)
Character Statistics are a section on a character's page that reflects their in-game character stats. Character Statistics section needs to be updated for all characters. This can be done by going through the game and cross-checking the stats and calculating the growth level, then cross-checking values with patch notes from the Patch Note Archives.

The following can be found on a Character's Statistics section:
 * Masteries (all)
 * 5★ Character Stats (level 1 and level 18) with growth levels
 * attackLevel, armorLevel, HPLevel and staminaLevel is included
 * Growth levels (attackGrowth, armorGrowth, HPGrowth, staminaGrowth) is a column that counts the growth from level 1 to level 18 stats for 1-4★. It is calculated by subtracting level 1 stats from level 18, and then dividing by 17 (number of level ups).
 * Comparison Table (level 1 and level 18) against all Characters
 * 1-4★ Character Stats (level 1 and level 18) with growth levels

An example of the 1★ code is the following

Area Update

 * Update items and their correct amount in in Areas for both Lumia Island and Seoul
 * After the above is completed, cross-check the number of items in each area with their respective Item page and Mastery pages ex. Blade Weapons

Playstyle Tips

 * Season 9 Dragon players are needed to suggest general and ability playstyle tips for all characters. See: Character Playstyle Guides Project
 * Example: Camilo/Playstyle Tips

Game Statistics
Add missing Win Rate Statistics for 2021
 * Sources can be found on the IS:BS Facebook and on the Unofficial IS:BS Discord
 * Categorize pages under Win Rate Statistics and images under Game Statistics

Live2D Alternates
Upload Live2D Alternates (Accessories Off) under /Galley#Live2D pages and categorize them as Tech Lab Images. These do not go on the Main page.
 * Order videos, alternates from oldest (top) to newest (bottom)
 * Example: Gallery
 * Contact Unofficial IS:BS discord for images

Live2D Videos
Link Live2D preview videos from the official Youtube onto the character's respective Gallery page (not Main page). Follow Arda's formatting as a guideline. If there is a full video on the Black Survival Wiki youtube, link it to the character's Skin and Gallery page.
 * Order videos, alternates from oldest (top) to newest (bottom)
 * Youtube videos on wiki up to date as of Archaeologist Arda

Live2D Skins Videos Page

 * Fix broken youtube links on Skins Videos (see any character page for correct format)
 * Make collapsible table for each character (similar to Tech Lab 2018 Themes) and place each video under it
 * Example: Adela

Pages

 * Make page outlining Tournaments
 * Make page outlining BSLive! Introduction: Aug 14 2019
 * Startings from late 2019, create new pages info for Limited Time Events using the Medium and English blog  posts. Categorize pages under Limited Time Events.

January 22nd Patch

 * patch note page
 * win rates page
 * image categorization


 * Aglaia Pass episode 3 data
 * get screenshots from someone who has opened up episode 3
 * "Starting from this Episode, the stories will be portrayed in a story-mode form." figure out what this looks like
 * There will be slight differences in the Live2D animation compared to the community post animation that was announced.
 * stats/skills: Edit Nadine, Aya, Bernice, Adriana, Yuki,
 * edit quiver of infinity, accessories, items pages

December 11 patch
patch note here


 * Quick slot system: not sure if this needs its own page or where to put this new info...
 * "The matching for Normal Games for Herbivore/Fox will now be judged as Herbivore." figure out what this means (from someone who's currently fox, I guess?)
 * screenshot of opponent rio with vital crash
 * better transparent for rio with vital crash

Nov 13th patch

 * AG pass episode 2?
 * 4th anniversary page

New Season Edits

 * Upload TS selection event prize data from Apiput

Other Lobby Changes

 * TeamBS Waiting Room: get screenshots from a streamer, I guess?
 * Spectating Mode Improvements: get updated screenshots, add to Game Modes or something

Aglaia’s Pass Release

 * Make a big page for this under "Game Info" and add as much info as possible...
 * Get screenshots from people

Minor Maintenance/Clean-up

 * Team Match
 * In the pre-game lobby, character/aptitude/skin selection screenshots (these need to be redone because the official images show player ranks, which has now been removed)
 * Besides Bear/Gorilla/Dr. Wickeline, can other animals show up on the map?
 * How does the EXP sharing system work?
 * Rulebook:
 * make the individual pages in the rulebook category subpages or something. Right now they're acting as outdated duplicates.
 * Search formula:
 * add a mathematical formula for how to calculate overall percentages
 * screenshot example of an unsuccessful search
 * Add "flavor text" to area pages (will probably get these from translation server)

Avatar pages
I give up on avatar videos; it's impossible to get them all.


 * Make individual avatar pages for avatars that don't have an individual page
 * Get dialogues from translation server and copy/paste them onto the individual avatar pages (it's probably fine... we can't upload research journals because "people should play the game to unlock things themselves" but avatars is just P2W)
 * Move the videos we currently have to a new tab or the bottom of each page

PROJECT: Categorization

 * Categorize pages
 * Image/Audio categorization: See for the rest (miscellaneous/hard to categorize images), and see  for the list of image categories and  for the list of audio categories. This project is mostly in maintenance. PLEASE CATEGORIZE IMAGES AS YOU GO; TRY TO KEEP THE # OF UNCATEGORIZED IMAGES < 100
 * Note: If you categorize a lot of images/audio files at once, it may take up to 24 hours for it to be removed from the uncategorized files category

Categorization Tips & Tricks
Example:
 * Audio is categorized into English Audio, Korean Audio, Japanese Audio, and NPC Audio
 * Base character images are categorized as Character Images, and their skins as Skin Images
 * Images/Audio files should have the copyright template. It looks like this:

Data Entry Projects
These projects involve gathering data and putting that data on the wiki. No gameplay knowledge is required, and minimal wiki editing knowledge is required.

PROJECT: Adding and Translating voice files (ENG/KOR/JPN)
If any of the voice actors see this let us know who you voice or if you want something changed ):


 * Progress tracker: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1XhdeeOAL4-jf5x-3YEKU1NBOP-Vicg3ydxc0PlrtwtE/edit#gid=806077144


 * For voice files not in Fankit: Record and clip audio using "preview" button
 * in Shop for Voice packs; on Character Page for characters


 * Upload audio files to wiki
 * Upload as many audio files as you can possibly obtain- including variations of the same voice line, sound effects, etc.


 * Get translations for Korean/Japanese voice lines
 * Put audio files in "Gallery" section of character pages
 * Take screenshots of voice packs for the Voice Packs page (and also put those audio files on that page)

PROJECT: Researcher Comments
Take screenshots of Researcher Comments, and add to this spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1QsKlKzPpK88w4DO09E4zshgS42KOt0eSQ3nee_xig68/edit?usp=sharing You can get screenshots from your own gameplay or from stream VODS.

The following information is also needed for each game: Placement / Cause of death / # of kills / any other info that might be relevant to the research comment

Once every (known) researcher comment has a screenshot, a wiki page can be made for this data.

Gameplay Advice Projects
These projects involve getting gameplay advice onto the wiki, to help out newer players. Gameplay knowledge is required: it's strongly suggested that only dragon players contribute to these projects. Minimal wiki editing knowledge is required.

PROJECT: Character Playstyle Guides

 * Playstyle sections for most characters are insufficient and/or outdated

2021 Update: Dragon players that are comfortable giving gameplay advice are encouraged to comment on this google document. If you are interested in becoming an editor for a character not yet filled in, leave a message in #wiki-discussion on the official IS:BS discord server.


 * Miwa went through all of these sections and wrote in information (thanks Miwa!!!) Sections still need check for grammar + ideally, a final check from someone who mains the character at a high level Bluebirdyhahaha (talk) 23:45, 20 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Proofreading done- thanks Luckyaqiua! Still need accuracy checks from high-level players Bluebirdyhahaha (talk) 21:56, 13 September 2019 (UTC)

Back-end Projects
These projects involve restructuring/reformatting parts of the wiki to make it more user friendly. No gameplay knowledge is required. Wiki editing knowledge is required.

PROJECT: Restructuring Character Subpages

 * make character subpages "templates", so that they don't show up in search/"Random page" results
 * for research journal tabs, add a template to tell people "Per Archbears' request, do not post locked research journals onto this wiki"

PROJECT: Main Page

 * update mobile version of front page
 * figure out how to make images on the front page shrink normally (css)

PROJECT: Automating Item Pages

 * make "item category pages" (Clothes, etc.) = cargo queries, instead of manual input
 * make Item Effects = cargo query, instead of manual input (or maybe this will just stay a manual input)
 * if possible, cargo query the item quantities on the area pages (or maybe this will just stay a manual input)

Future Projects
These projects, for various reasons, can't be worked on right now, but will need to get done in the future.

PROJECT: Writing a Contributor's Guide
Write a guide for how to maintain the wiki that covers common patch changes. Skim Patch Note Archives to see which change types need to be covered.
 * General Guidelines (categorization, citing official posts, citing the Japanese wiki, etc.)
 * Item Changes
 * Area item quantity changes
 * Changes to existing characters
 * New character added
 * New tech lab period
 * New Season (editing Leagues)
 * Other pages that need occasional maintenance: gameplay advice pages, limited time events, etc.
 * Win Rate pages, Patch Note pages
 * How to edit the front page
 * More advanced stuff (templates, cargo, etc.)

PROJECT: General How to Play Guides
Current drafts: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1X9dPk_AtACIGvF9Ug_qV0gApHvGEExTYOwX7cTGb8Do/edit?usp=sharing

Once the drafts are thorough enough to be put onto the wiki, FAQ can be condensed/cut down as needed.

I don't know enough about the meta anymore to be a reliable author for this. I'm hoping someone can resume this project again, but it may take a while/if something about the game changes drastically, a lot of changes will be needed. I think a lot of the current drafts are already outdated. Bluebirdyhahaha (talk) 21:56, 13 September 2019 (UTC)

PROJECT: Adding Patch History to Pages
Ideally, all patch changes that have happened since Season 3 (international release) should be included on individual item pages, character pages, Rulebook, etc. Use Patch Note Archives and Japanese wiki pages as references. But this is going to take a long time and is relatively low-priority. The projects above should be done first.

Guidelines for Updating Item Pages

 * Image changed: Update the image by going to the image file page, then click "upload a new version of this file"
 * Description changed: Change the description on the item page.
 * Name changed: On the item page, click "More" on the top horizontal bar --> "Move" --> change the page name. This creates a redirect, so that searching the old item name will bring you to the new item name page. DON'T MAKE A NEW PAGE THEN JUST COPY/PASTE EVERYTHING.
 * The image also needs to be replaced (since the image contains the item name)
 * Change the name on any item table pages (Arm Armor,Stab Weapons, etc.)
 * Change the name on Item Effects, if needed.
 * Edit Template:Item_Navbox
 * Ideally, change any time the old name appears on the wiki to the new name. For example, the "Needed to Craft"/"Recipe" sections of other item pages. But if there's a redirect (there should be), old links will still work.
 * Item deleted: add to Archived Content, then redirect the page to Archived Content.
