User blog:MasqueDeSono/Current State of the Wiki

Hello! I'm Masque and I've been making contributions for the past several months. There are some glaring issues with the wiki that I'd like to address, particularly with any admins/bureaucrats who might see this.

First and foremost is the top navigation. It's severely disorganized. Characters are listed as one large conglomeration, with no separation between main and secondary characters, not even any separation between Lilies and the class of enemies they are fighting. Even Shenlin and Yujia's names are listed inconsistently, and Shenlin's is spelled wrong! I would strongly recommend reorganizing the top navigation, only listing the main characters of Assault Lily: Bouquet (Team Hitotsuyanagi) in the "Characters" category. The Characters button would link to the "Characters" category, so if a wiki visitor would be searching for another character, they will be able to find them there.

Also, regarding Top Navigation, Novels should not be its own separate category. It's part of the media franchise and there is already a section dedicated to the novel aspect of the franchise. I'm not entirely sure what you could put in place of it...perhaps a category dedicated to basic terminology? Assault Lily is a very lore-heavy franchise (something I was not expecting once I got into it xD ), so I think a guide for basic terms would be helpful to new fans looking to the wiki for information. I'm currently working on articles dedicated to that, borrowing from official lore on the Assault Lily website.

I think it would be in the best interest of both current and future visitors to this wiki to fix these issues. I noticed there are no recorded bureaucrats and I cannot seem to locate the founder of the wiki; still, if any admin finds this message, please take my concerns to heart. I will be giving any Assault Lily wiki admins until Friday 8:00 PM EST to respond. If I do not hear back from anyone and changes are not made, I will be filing a motion to adopt the Assault Lily wiki. As a bureaucrat, my plans are as follows:
 * Top Navigation Cleanup (accessible only to admins)
 * Add "Stage Plays" (League of Gardens and The Fateful Gift) and "Mobile Game" (Last Bullet) subcategories to the franchise hub.
 * Remove the "Novels" category as it is redundant
 * Remove secondary characters and Huge from the "Characters" category, list only members of Team Hitotsuyanagi.
 * Add a category of basic terminology to help both new Assault Lily fans as well as those just looking to learn more about the world.
 * Plans already underway/Future projects (do not require admin clearance)
 * Add articles for League of Gardens, The Fateful Gift
 * Create and refine pages for secondary characters/non-anime exclusive characters
 * Refine pages for main characters
 * Create templates that will improve page design and make it easier for new wiki editors

Thanks and I hope this reaches whoever it may concern. -Masque
