Tasks affected by Project:Texts About Pandora

The following tasks might be completed automatically by switching away from MediaWiki. Any "solution" to these tasks before migrating engines might be undone by the switch.

  1. Reduce the number of clicks needed to update polls
  2. Automate some of the tasks surrounding the introduction of new characters.
    1. Make it so the categories for pages related to a specific character are automatically included in Category:Individual Character Categories.
    2. Make it so that the "Character X Appearances" categories are automatically included in the individual character categories.
    3. Make it so the image of a character is automatically included in the corresponding individual character category.
    4. Require fewer clicks to update the "Number of Appearances" column of the characters table.
  3. Overhaul the main page again (compared to how it was at the previous milestone). This can be accomplished *either* by replacing the majority of lines, or if we complete all other milestone tasks and I decide there isn't anything else I want to change.
  4. Overhaul the article on Pandora's Tale again (compared to how it was at the previous milestone). This can be accomplished *either* by replacing the majority of lines, or if we complete all other milestone tasks and I decide there isn't anything else I want to change.
  5. Overhaul the article on Pandora again (compared to how it was at the previous milestone). This can be accomplished *either* by replacing the majority of lines, or if we complete all other milestone tasks and I decide there isn't anything else I want to change.
