hello there.

someday I'll make this into a real user page...

Important things to do

  • Finish updating the stats system and replace all stats pages with it
  • Finish all the policy and guideline pages
    • Guidelines for galleries, update pages, and citations
  • Finish the important categories
  • Add a userbox system
  • Set up a program for listing affiliate sites (like other wikis and bloons resources)

Things to save for proposals

  • A "community" namespace for documenting community resources like the BTD6 Index and Battles 2 Popology, self-imposed challenges like NAPSFRILLS and speedrunning, and maybe fan games
  • A "technical" namespace for documenting technical information, such as BTD6 model classes, BTD5 weapons / upgrades, Battles 2 blueprints, and level formats in Bloons / Bloons 2 / BSM / BSM2 / Bloons Pop
  • A "tool" namespace for small JS-based applications built into the wiki, like a paragon calculator, BCS deck builder, card battle deck builder, and BATTD stat calculator
  • Change the "(mobile)" identifier to "(multiplatform)" for ports on both PC and mobile (like "Bloons TD 5 (multiplatform)" instead of "Bloons TD 5 (mobile)")
    • This is why the wiki uses abbreviations instead of identifiers for file names and templates, because M can conveniently stand for both mobile and multiplatform, so migrating these wouldn't be as much of a headache
  • Either get rid of the image/audio categories for specific characters and bloons (like Category:Dart Monkey images) or constrain them to only images actually containing the subject, so there are no upgrade or ability or cosmetic item icons unless the subject is actually depicted in them

Technical work

  • Redesign the site to look less like crap
  • Redesign the homepage to look less like crap
  • Finish light mode
  • Add support for Vector 2022 and Timeless (installed but not updated with custom CSS)
  • Finish the restyling with light mode support and a visual editor look that doesn't suck
  • Fix email system
  • Enable custom CSS (enabled, but no documentation yet)
  • Get rid of templates that are used on less than 8 pages, or combine them into single templates with shared functionality (like how Template:BCS card list replaces multiple other templates)
  • Convert more query templates to using Template:Generic cargo list and Template:Generic cargo compact list for easier maintainability
  • Finish template documentation
  • Migrate all the rounds templates and modules to use Module:Rounds instead
  • Migrate all the challenge rules to Template:BTD6 challenge rules/new, then use a bot to move it all back to the non-new subpage
  • Redo the BTD6 and battles 2 rewards and cosmetic item cargo systems to work more like the BCS one
  • Upgrade to a newer version of mediawiki (hopefully one that fixes cargo galleries breaking the visual editor)
  • Automate more of Template:News
  • Use the NK open data API to display event data on the homepage and auto-generate archives of past events (would require making a custom extension)
  • Update all tables of text in other languages to use {{langlist}}

Pages that are either drafts or abandoned projects that I need to move whatever progress was made to somewhere else
