{{Hatnote|If you're not familiar with wikis, see [[OniGalore:About]]. If you're not confident about editing a wiki, see [[Help:Editing]].}}
Here are some ongoing projects, and ideas for projects, on the wiki. Whatever in this list looks interesting to you, feel free to tackle it, even if you only have a little time here and there. However, if you are leaving a project half-done until you can resume it, please note this under the item in the list. Thanks for whatever you can do to contribute.


If you want something done, but can't find the time to do it yourself, outline it here.
{{TOClimit}}


If you don't know what to do, and have a lot of time to spare, you can pick from here.
==General wiki work==
==Main namespace==
* Look at [[:Category:Flagged articles]] and see if there's anything you can help out with. There are a number of articles which need to be updated or finished, including ones about characters and settings in Oni.
===Quotes===
* Just browse [[Special:Wantedpages]] and pick an interesting topic to write about! There are many interesting parts of Oni's world which do not have a dedicated article yet.
They're mostly complete (the English ones). Could do with some fancy editing/templating/subpaging, though.


For instance, making every console into a subpage of [[Quotes/Consoles]] would make it easier to transclude them in e.g. Character or Chapter pages.
==PlayStation 2 port==
Let's expand on the [[PS2 vs PC|documentation of the PS2 version]], including how it differs from Win/Mac Oni. Besides gameplay or content differences, we might also want to check the game data for unexpected resources. First we'll probably need an [[OBD:PS2]] page for documenting the data format, since it has changed a bit from the PC version.


Perhaps various translations should be compared with the English somehow, to get a sort of "international" overview.
==Angel Studios sequel==
If you have some hacking skills, please look at [[Talk:Oni 2 (Angel Studios)]] and [[OBD:Oni2AS]] to see if you can answer any outstanding questions or contribute new information.


If you have the time to contribute complete collections of quotes in German/French/Italian/Russian/whatever, you're welcome.
==BSL documentation==
The revamp of the BSL docs that was originally laid out in this section is on hold because the system we were using is too rickety and hacked together. The proper approach to interlinked pages that read from the same central pool of data is the [[mw:Extension:Semantic MediaWiki|Semantic MediaWiki]] extension, so we'll focus on implementing that at some point in the future.


Otherwise, don't bother ripping/uploading a translation if it doesn't diverge significantly from the English version.
==Oni 2 and beyond...==
Some fans use the wiki to write sequels, prequels, interquels (what may have happened to Konoko in the time gaps between the original chapters, e.g., between Chapter 12 and Chapter 13) or even paraquels (e.g., what was happening on the Syndicate side during Oni?). You can then list your work [[Oni2|HERE]]. Just be aware of the [[OniGalore:Copyrights|rights issues]] surrounding fan fiction posted on the Internet. Also, plagiarism is not nice, but "Oni 2" can still be influenced by anime/cyberpunk/other references. See [[:Category:Oni 2 influences|HERE]] to review the influences so far, elaborate on them some more, or point out new ones.


===Characters===
[[Category:Policies and documentation]]
A few of them haven't been touched at all :
*[[Kerr]]
*[[Hasegawa]]
*[[Griffin]]
Others need expansion :
*[[Konoko]]
*[[Muro]]
 
===Entities===
*[[STURMANDERUNG]] needs fixing
Entities that haven't been touched :
*[[SLD]]
*[[Deadly Brain]]
===Chapters===
====Overviews====
Ideally, [[Chapters]] should hold a concise overview of Oni's plot, with as little overstatement as possible.
 
Subpages of [[Chapters]] should hold overviews of every chapter. Also without overstatement, but in more detail.
 
Consoles, dialogues, cutscene descriptions. Screenshots should be uploaded and thumbnailed. Splashcreens can be included full-size.
 
A sorta walkthrough, without the technical tips to gamers. Just the material.
====Lost Chapters====
Erm... well, they don't exist yet, that's the whole problem. They're episodes either complementary or alternative to the [[Chapters]].
 
Whatever goes on in between two official chapters can be elaborated on. Whatever might have happened differently - same thing.
==OBD==
===Progress tracking===
:I'll try and make a TODO table showing whether a file format is 100% understood or not, whether the layout needs improving or not, etc.
::[[User:Geyser|geyser]] 19:06, 8 November 2006 (CET)
===Header and footer templates===
:The following are meant to provide a nice-looking navigation interface for the OBD database.
:They also make it easy to change to a new header/footer format all at once, on all the pages.
*[[Template:OBD File Header]]
*[[Template:OBD File Footer]]
*[[Template:OBD BINA Header]]
*[[Template:OBD BINA Footer]]
*[[Template:OBD OBJC Header]]
*[[Template:OBD OBJC Footer]]
*[[Template:OBD OSBD Header]]
*[[Template:OBD OSBD Footer]]
===Table templates===
:The current table header ([[Template:OBDtable]]) provides for a nice enough layout ([[User:geyser|IMO]]), and it makes the markup a lot lighter.
:But it's a bit ugly markup-wise. And "some people" don't like the fancy twin border. ^^
:I'll make a new table header ({{OBD Table}}) that's closer to how other MediaWiki folks template their tables. There will be no twin border.
:Should look something like :
<nowiki>{| align=center valign=top width=100% border=1 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=2 style="background:#FFEEDD;"</nowiki>
:Headers and table-closing tag will be left at the editor's responsibility ^^
:Once it's there, obviously the existing tables will have to be slowly ported to the new layout. Same boring routine as with the headers and footers.
::[[User:Geyser|geyser]] 19:06, 8 November 2006 (CET)
----
*[[Template:OBD_File_Table]]
*[[Template:OBD_File_Image]]
 
===Offsets===
:They're tedious to add, but they're generally more helpful than the color map when actually viewing/editing a file.
:They will be less and less useful as we provide thorough [[OBD:OUP|OUP]] struct defs for people to view the binaries with.
:(hm, maybe we should complete the struct defs with color maps, to ^^)
:Offsets are defined with respect to the start-of-file unless mentioned otherwise (usually for a good reason).
::[[User:Geyser|geyser]] 19:06, 8 November 2006 (CET)
===Hex editor screenshots===
:I don't think uploading them on the wiki is a good idea.
:Anyone dedicated enough to provide new ones ([[User:ssg|ssg]], [[User:Loser|Loser]], [[User:geyser|myself]]) either already have an oni2.net account or will get one.
:Since the images are not supposed to be thumbnailed or "galleried" by the wiki's engine, external images suffice amply.
:Anyone can edit the page featuring the image and set the URL to point to anything at all he likes.
:I can't be dictatorial about those wiki-based images. I'd just like the need for them to be reconsidered/debated.
:In case they're maintained, I'd recommend PNG over GIF as a much more compact format (and an open one, too).

==Oni2==
===Free-for-all===
The Oni 2 namespace is intended for brainstorming relative to Oni sequels, prequels, epilogues and what not.
 
If you have an idea you seriously think it would be cool to have in an Oni sequel, here's where you can share it.
 
The actual think tank that is likely to react/recombine/coordinate is a few hyperdedicated members of the community.
 
We hog other people's ideas, contaminate them and alienate them.
:(sorta like what the [[Daodan]] does to [[Konoko]])
But we do it because we ''care'', and so it's probably not too bad.
 
"Don't be shy" ^^
===Influences===
Stub influences are :
*[[Oni2:Influences/Appleseed]]
*[[Oni2:Influences/Blame]]
Underdeveloped influences are :
*[[Oni2:Influences/Gunnm]]
Non-developed influences are :
*[[Oni2:Influences/DeusEx]]

WIKI WORK IS FUN!
Penny Arcade - EvilCorp Too.png
ENOUGH FOR A JOKE OR TWO
THEN IT GETS BORING
If you're not familiar with wikis, see OniGalore:About. If you're not confident about editing a wiki, see Help:Editing.

Here are some ongoing projects, and ideas for projects, on the wiki. Whatever in this list looks interesting to you, feel free to tackle it, even if you only have a little time here and there. However, if you are leaving a project half-done until you can resume it, please note this under the item in the list. Thanks for whatever you can do to contribute.

General wiki work

  • Look at Category:Flagged articles and see if there's anything you can help out with. There are a number of articles which need to be updated or finished, including ones about characters and settings in Oni.
  • Just browse Special:Wantedpages and pick an interesting topic to write about! There are many interesting parts of Oni's world which do not have a dedicated article yet.

PlayStation 2 port

Let's expand on the documentation of the PS2 version, including how it differs from Win/Mac Oni. Besides gameplay or content differences, we might also want to check the game data for unexpected resources. First we'll probably need an OBD:PS2 page for documenting the data format, since it has changed a bit from the PC version.

Angel Studios sequel

If you have some hacking skills, please look at Talk:Oni 2 (Angel Studios) and OBD:Oni2AS to see if you can answer any outstanding questions or contribute new information.

BSL documentation

The revamp of the BSL docs that was originally laid out in this section is on hold because the system we were using is too rickety and hacked together. The proper approach to interlinked pages that read from the same central pool of data is the Semantic MediaWiki extension, so we'll focus on implementing that at some point in the future.

Oni 2 and beyond...

Some fans use the wiki to write sequels, prequels, interquels (what may have happened to Konoko in the time gaps between the original chapters, e.g., between Chapter 12 and Chapter 13) or even paraquels (e.g., what was happening on the Syndicate side during Oni?). You can then list your work HERE. Just be aware of the rights issues surrounding fan fiction posted on the Internet. Also, plagiarism is not nice, but "Oni 2" can still be influenced by anime/cyberpunk/other references. See HERE to review the influences so far, elaborate on them some more, or point out new ones.
