Wiki Housekeeping (meta)

A page for keeping track of stuff. 
==Current Projects==
* Chronology!!!
* Pages in need of tags
* Meta: sources include email, Tumblr, and AO3 comments (especially Gotham's Tea series (especially Blackberry Tea))
* Relationships
** Meis, Maleigh probably need main pages. 
* Key words: "Fluff", the "Afterlife", "feels!", etc. 
* Stuff
* Media: books, blogs, etc
** Add Sunshiney Rainbow Friends
* Orphaned images
* Characters in need of an infobox, 
* Should ficlets get an infobox like on Turtles? yes, see below
* 'message received'/'message sent', '[message alert sounds]' -> screennames
** 
===Templates===
Please see "Templates".
* Category Intersection: Info, in action, api. DONE!!!
** Now how to put it in 'categories' like StarWars ...
* FicletMeta: >no idea how to do the 'doc' thing, though<
* Multiple Images: 
===Social Media===
* Maybe reblog all PP's pictures and CM's audio posts to a new tumblr? 
** Instead of links, post the picture with a link? Less obvious, tho
* As a 'back burner-want to do something but too sick' kinda project, reformat all Pietr's pictures into a mock Instagram feed: square them all up, add a border, that kinda thing
** An idea: make an actual (private) instagram account and link it to a tumblr and reformat them all that way. On mobile there's an option to automatically save pictures; ALC isn't sure about desktop, though.
* Little galleries for the various settings and/or character birthplaces while PP's digging through photographs for the ficlets. Probably assembled on Tumblr ('cause it's pretty and clickbait XD) and link them to character pages or wherever. 
===Uploading===
(Requests from the shmoo for pickleplum)
* Kaiju attack timeline problem meta
* "Blocks" riff and the AN(SK) reworking of "We're going out there. (scene)" (mentioned in "Alas, I be stuck"

* Vee introduces Veeself to Hermann (inspired by working on "Corresponding")
==Things to Remember/Conventions==
=== Technical ===
* Honourifics—Mx, Mr, Mrs/Ms/Miss—are written abbreviated
* Titles, such as 'Doctor', 'Ranger', 'Marshal', are left long hand
* Military titles are only capitalized when used in front of a name or as a direct replacement for a personal name.
** '"Yes, Officer." says the Marshal' and "That's what the Marshal said." vs 'the marshal's office'.
* If a character mentions anything to do with time (the current time (of day), how many days until x, etc) make sure it agrees with the setting
* Jaegers' names are italized (eg G Danger), their serial number (eg 'GD-05') isn't, their series is 'Mark X' as per British convention (eg Mark III)
* '…' is '...' as well as normal punctuation (eg "I don't know ...." and "Maybe ...?")
** No idea how to punctuate interruptions (for instance, "... item one, item two—more details!—, item three.").
** comma and sentences cont: http://jenroses.tumblr.com/post/161228197451/quick-note-to-fanfic-writers
=== In-Universe ===
* Rangers are spoiled
** Privilege
* Rangers must always have security with them when leaving the Shatterdome and not in a Jaeger
* A good chunk of the story takes place in da future!!! so medical/technological achievements previously impossible could maybe be possible!
* AGNIS can be reached from anywhere in the 'Dome and by mobile outside the 'Dome
* Jaegers don't have the flexibility to have a thumb war
* Our narrators are unreliable
** Our narrators won't call everything by its technical name ("shrimp foam" in "Judgement Day", for instance)
===Dialects===
The character speaking has dialect markers (Oxford spelling or a lack thereof) that the POV character hears, regardless of whether said markers are silent.
Examples: Edan refers to PAIGE as 'Paige' regardless of whether the POV is from him or from Hermann (who refers to PAIGE as 'PAIGE'.)
===Survivors===
With each new Jaeger there are better ways of keeping the pilots alive in case of Jaeger failure, so there will be more survivors from each subsequent generation of Jaegers. I think we have two protoype Jaeger pilots left (D'onofrio & Lightcap), two Mark I pilots (Xie Ming and Scott), some Mark IIs (some Molliers), five Mark IIIs (Joneses, Lins, Raleigh), two Mark IVs (Kita & Yukimura), and one Mark V (Herc).

== Omnibus ==
===Revising===
Athene Noctua
* a line somewhere about what Hong Kong plans to do with the boatsword. 
* The Hacker Valley facility communicates with Xiong, not Herc
** Possibly communicates with her throughout the story, too
===Misplaced===
(w/r/t the November 6 omnibus)
* Met His Match must take place in January or February to agree with the line in the movie and for Felix to be born in 2020. Felix has a different birthday (2021 Q4) now.
* "Ruby", "Tickle", "Investigate", "Pixar", "Opening", "Pffft", "Jack's Ring", "Baby Pictures", "Something New, Blue", "Hell", "Mechanic", and "A Waste" take place before Pietr's move to Anchorage and should be, at the very least, before "Willow Pond" (at the very least, before "Tags"), however they are currently listed in the omnibus as being after "Willow Pond". 
=== Edits found in Emails ===
(some of these may be out of date)
"Taxonomy"
* It's in the 1994 chapter but has a 1996 date. ALC can't remember which is correct. 
 "Spawnlings" and "Lessons" 
* PP will attempt to merge
* ALC puts forth the suggestion of Hermann's tutoring of Fei Yen is overheard on two occasions, and either "Spawnlings" or "Lessons" is tweaked to match the second occasion. 
 "Connections" (2006) 
* Iggy's still Katha
 Yancy, Edan, and CERN 
* "'n of course Hermann [knows] who he was looking at moment one." ALC thinks this needs a little more context
 Let the Rain Wash Away 
* Possibly include Newt learning of Universal Compatibility and his Kaiju Drift (it would set in stone Chuck's death which needs to happen for Siqi's endgame)
 Welder 
* In one version of the omnibus, the emails stlil had the wonky movie dates
* They need to be split up in some places, too 
 Break, Breaker, Broken 
* Break-5 should be February 3
 Tango Like You Mean It 
* the email exchange with Hermann is after a timeskip to November (the file's being stupid). 
 Sweet Embrace 
* 'Sweet Embrace-I' is actually 'II'; all of them are offset by one, and 5 & + 1 are merged. 
* May wanna tweak the titles to match the naming conventions with the Jaeger generations (Mark I, Mark II, etc)
 Experiment 626 
* is listed as 2023 but it's in 2019 
 Jasmine Leaf Tea (4) 
* Listed in that version of the omnibus as 2023 but it's 2022 (or vice
 Bollywood 
* Should be with "Fourth Triplet"
