These are the one-time tasks we need to do to make Pandora's Tale Wiki a great reference.

Pandora's Tale Wiki Milestone

Completing all of these tasks is a necessary condition for the next major milestone for the wiki.

Write biographies for all major characters

Write "Before Pandora's Box" sections. : Done unless a later chapter results in a new major character
Write "After Pandora's Box" for Pandora
Write "After Pandora's Box" for Isabelle
Write "After Pandora's Box" for Con
Write "After Pandora's Box" for Hemmel : Done through chapter 11
Write "After Pandora's Box" for Natalya
Write "After Pandora's Box" for Noor : Done through chapter 11
Write "After Pandora's Box" for Veronica : Done through chapter 11
Write "After Pandora's Box" for Zero

Other One-Time Tasks

Make an article for the cast page.
Consider adding a "personality" section to each major character article. Typically, I try to avoid giving my own analysis or interpretations about the comic. Can I do a personality section without putting my opinions in? Should I include a disclaimer like the "analysis" sections of Fire Emblem Wiki's character articles?

An example analysis section

Make an article for Pandora's Box.
Relicense wiki content.
Port the wiki away from MediaWiki (see "Texts About Pandora" below).
Make the data in the table on The Resistance article automatically filterable.
Mirror the wiki to other smalnet protocols.
Make city infoboxes
Make sector infoboxes
Add a template or infobox entry to metafictional character articles.
Write a script which checks for citations appearing before punctuation and fixes them.
Upgrade the tarot script to output links to each character article.
Upgrade the tarot script to output the date each tarot card was released.
Decide whether to make PTW Scripts public.
Make a search feature for the geminispace version of the wiki.
Give all logged-in users write access by default, to allow non-programmers to make edits more easily. This can only happen once I understand how to reliably delete edits containing information that shouldn't be in the wiki history.
Improve screenreader accessibility (compared to the completion of Project: Texts About Pandora).
Make it possible to follow the blog through an atom feed over gemini.
Make a gemini-compatible atom feed for commits to the wiki trunk.
Make the home page less visually cluttered.
Manually check every page for formatting errors, making use of the W3C's link-checker.

https://validator.w3.org/checklink

Remove or reduce as much CSS as feasible from the web proxy.
Try to replace triple-dashes with comments at the end of preformatted text blocks, to make pages look nicer rendered while still leaving breadcrumbs for scripts.
Fill out the orientation fields for all characters.
Ensure Webaim WAVE gives no errors on any page on the wiki.
Consider adding structured data to the wiki.

Adding structured data

Deprecate and replace archive.today.

This follows Wikipedia's decision.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment/Archive.is_RFC_5

Additionally, on the archive.today blog, the owner claims to be politically right-wing, and says they will not cooperate with archive.org due to the latter being allegedly part of "left-wing activism." They also refer to gamer-gate as a "scandal" and express support for the right-wing "side" of gamer-gate.

On Rainverse Matrix, Claire suggested Megalodon or perma.cc as replacements.

https://wiki.archiveteam.org/index.php/Megalodon.jp

https://wiki.archiveteam.org/index.php/Perma.cc

Perm.cc requires either a subscription or an affiliation with an academic institution to create links.

https://perma.cc/docs/perma-link-creation#preservation-limits

Neither archive.org nor megalodon are capable of archiving a snapshot from archive.today. Archive.org appears to have blacklisted the domains, while megalodon gets stuck on the captcha.

https://megalodon.jp/2026-0222-1235-20/https://archive.ph:443/D4xWR

Archive.org is capable of saving posts on Mastodon or Bluesky, but not Sharkey. Megalodon is capable of archiving Sharkey posts.

The following archive.today links archive sources that are no longer online. Since archive.today itself cannot be archived, they are not suitable sources for the wiki. If I can't find another source, I should remove the information that comes from them.

I will wait until 2027-04-03 before deleting the relevant information from the wiki.

Make tables accessible

To complete Project: Texts About Pandora, I need to make tables accessible to users with screenreaders. In particular, they must not be any worse than in the MediaWiki version.

So far, I have gotten one piece of feedback from a blind user who does NOT need a screenreader, indicating that the git version is better. On the other hand, two blind users who does have a screenreader said that the legacy version is better, "because the data is structured." Another blind user indicated that the MediaWiki tables are easier to read than "pseudo-tables," but that other parts of the legacy wiki are more cluttered.

I should try making two versions of the character tables: one my way, and one as an external csv file. I should put all the csv files in a "csv tables" folder.

If the csv files get positive feedback from blind users, I should write scripts to automatically convert tables into csv.

I should read this page.

Task-tracking meta

Currently, all tasks and issues with the wiki are stored in three files. I should consider switching to a different system.

I don't want to use Forgejo's issue tracker, because that would mean storing all issues on a central server, defeating the purpose of switching to git.

I should consider:

Changing the way I split tasks into different files.
Separating issues into a separate repository, possibly using software like Buggy which is intended to track issues in a git repository.
