Project: Make Pages More Readable
Also listed are Trivia and regular pages that need a readability pass, also Trivia pages that have questionable bullets that need trimming. For example, "This episode reveals X" that is either a non-trivial joke or holds little value, like a brief reference to an external character by name. Another is a clippit about a character that may be used as a joke but is only used one an not much about their character, eg "In this episode Stan said he likes eggs but they give him gas". Furthermore these probably belong on a character page if at all.

Although all Trivia pages could use a pass, those particularly noteworthy follow: Many Trivia pages have been changed during my project but have not been logged. Some were small edits without a full look over, others could be considered to have been more methodical.
 * Terrance and Phillip in Not Without My Anus/Trivia
 * The Simpsons Already Did It/Trivia
 * Roger Ebert Should Lay off the Fatty Foods/Trivia
 * Cat Orgy/Trivia
 * The Return of the Fellowship of the Ring to the Two Towers/Trivia
 * Night of the Living Homeless/Trivia
 * Whale Whores/Trivia
 * Medicinal Fried Chicken/Trivia
 * 200/Trivia [Probably bloated with reason but include that mention of Barbra Streisand is similar to shelob in LoTr, clarify that South Park the town is a double entendre to refer to the franchise itself (possibly invalidating some trivia points)]
 * 201/Trivia
 * Crippled Summer/Trivia
 * Funnybot/Trivia
 * You're Getting Old/Trivia
 * Ginger Kids/Trivia
 * Miss Teacher Bangs a Boy/Trivia

 * Taming Strange/Trivia
 * Gluten Free Ebola/Trivia
 * Stunning and Brave/Trivia
 * Le Petit Tourette/Trivia
 * Hummels & Heroin/Trivia
 * Sons A Witches/Trivia
 * It's a Jersey Thing/Trivia [Readability etc; investigate if 'Henry Repeater' should be 'lever-action rifle']

Project:Cleanup
Task:In the aftermath of the main project to standardise Trivia pages, there are some that need addressing; checking unique titles to see if they need to be there or if the can be combined into trivia, as well as making pages more readable. Listed pages may or may not need action but checklist is below:

Subtitles logging characters such as "Zombies" in or "People and Items" in Damien will be combined into the Trivia section and placed in the bottom. Similarly, I have found more than one episode with the title "Mr. Garrison's Learning Plan"; these will be combined into one bullet for now or merged into the trivia main title.

Most of the following needs discussion but are likely to be left as unique.

Listed below are episodes with such titles or subtitles that are hard to combine in this way and may need to be adapted differently or left [if they are left I will combine them into the Trivia section]:
 * The Cissy/Trivia [List of LGBT references. This is planned to be replaced with a link to the new article, "LGBT in South Park".
 * Make Love, Not Warcraft/Trivia [Extensive World of Warcraft references, separate page needed? Some are goofs but it is so extensive it may actually need subtitles of its own if left. However, it may be possible to trim it down.]
 * The List/Trivia - [Debate whether the 'real list' section should be deleted; no matter how accurate it may be considered it is not confirmed. But a lot of work went into this list.]
 * T.M.I./Trivia [Height/penis length table] (moving the chart is breaking the maths coding)

Mini Projects
Some will be ongoing forever as the wiki updates and changes.

Fix Anything Here as Necessary
Special:SpecialPages

Images
Update found lower quality images to be of higher quality.

Banked: Slash (I'm a Little Bit Country)

'Direct Reference' 'Direct Parody'
Seek out any article with the words 'direct reference', 'direct nod' to and remove 'direct' as this is established with the word reference. If it's because it's in avoidance of the same lingo, I'll reword it. Similarly will search and edit "direct" or "exact" parody.

Gun Realism and Military-related Goofs and Errors
Below are some goofs commonly seen or cited for certain episodes. May require a page or rollout onto their Trivia pages but logged as scrap notes for now to avoid bloating Trivia sections: Technically, the term for a device that is fitted to, or built into, a firearm that is intended to reduce the sound of its firing is a "suppressor". However, most people will know the term as "silencer". This is up for debate at the time of writing but listed below are pages with such use of the common term:
 * Commonly, pistols will be seen unsuppressed but on a shot where the barrel should be seen, a suppressor is seen attached instead. Sometimes it really is a suppressed pistol, making this acceptable.
 * Pistols are often seen without ejection ports. In fact, it may be that it is rare to see one rather than not see one.
 * Suppressed weapons are often heard unsuppressed, it is a common misconception that a suppressor will always 'silence' a gun (there are some very few exceptions) but it would have more effect than the regular gunshot sound used in certain episodes.
 * In some episodes, guns are seen and used without a magazine. This could be seen as a goof. Suspected episodes - Red Sleigh Down
 * General Deckter in the Imaginationland trilogy has correct/correct enough stars on his shoulders but he has Sergeant-esque stripes on his sleeves. One could interpret this as a made-up "Sergeant-General" rank but is most likely a goof.
 * Franz
 * South Park Crime Unit [not a real gun but pretending to use one]
 * Leonardo DiCaprio

Commentary Transcripts
This would be no easy undertaking, but I'm considering creating transcripts for the commentaries for each episode. There is also the possibility of having pullet points that summarises each important statement, which would make the task easier and focused. A lot of pages already include trivia from the transcripts though, so it may be redundant to type it all up. Perhaps important things said could be rolled out as trivia but this may bloat the Trivia sections.

Lesser Projects or Edits

 * Bill and Fosse are revealed to be in a relationship in TFBW; Fosse says the player is not his type then he is in a relationship with Bill.
 * Super Fun Time/Trivia - Table created for 'buddies' to reduce a long trivia bullet/list.

Contents Navigation Missing [Aftermath]
Contents for a page will automatically generate for any with at least four titles. I have added to the source to pages deemed to be long enough to require it that don't meed this minimum. In essence, I've judged it by how long it took to scroll to the 'Goofs' section or bottom of the page, or if it had some interesting title like 'Deleted Ending'. Will keep an eye out for any more needing it but previous list is eliminated.

Trivia Standardisation [Aftermath]
This project is closed but a memo will be left here to address what I have done in the project. All Trivia pages now have one order for their titles and should be kept in this order, ideally new ones will also follow the standard. There are some unique ones that have been left because they are deemed suitable for the episode or would be worse for having rolled them out into trivia, for example an extensive and neat table. Following is the order of titles I have made standard. Not all of them are needed and there has never been a case where all of them where needed on the same page but they are all listed here to show one order for an 'as and when' basis:


 * Trivia
 * References to Popular Culture
 * Controversy
 * Censorship
 * Deleted Scene
 * Deleted Ending
 * Continuity
 * Goofs
 * Kenny's Death
 * Hidden Visitor(s)
 * Bradley Biggle Sightings
 * References

Trivia and References to Popular Culture are on most pages so are at the top, the References being at the bottom is standard policy. The rest are intended to be partially in order of how much content is likely to be in them and partly of notability, for example censorship would be of high interest to the common audience. Goofs are often of interest to people. It does depend what the goofs are but this is why it's higher than easter eggs. Kenny's death through Bradley Biggle sightings have been considered easter eggs, important to log but placed at the 'bottom', right before the References.

I should also point out that the list was partly inspired by a pattern I was seeing on the majority of Trivia pages, but there were also a lot breaking this 'unwritten rule'.

Any new titles will be added to the list but when creating titles, consider if it is similar to one that exists here. For example, there were a lot of titles of "Cultural References" which should be "References to Popular Culture".

For future reference, the pages have been checked up to the most recent episode: Splatty Tomato

Unique titles left in:
 * Comparison between first episode and pilot.
 * I'm a Little Bit Country/Trivia [list of pro and anti war as well as those in the crowd] - I felt it was neater to have the title and lists enclosed, especially with the image present.

LGBT In South Park [Aftermath]
Created a page that details anything LGBT-related in South Park by any media. Needs to be on-topic. Scrap notes below:

The article will be attached to the characters mentioned and some trivia section for the episodes that heavily use the topic but it is not to be attached to everything mentioned here or to every character under the LGBT category, although it will be attached to that category's hub.  


 * Stephen Stotch bisexuality and sexual exploits in the bathhouse in "Butters' Very Own Episode". The bathhouse itself.
 * Caitlyn Jenner; more or less a negative portrayal of the person but to make the point of the unfairness of being a standout against others who have transitioned.
 * Brian Boitano. Real homosexual skater, not often shown in a positive light in the media. Shunned for his sexual orientation. Supported by the show, left a foreword in the book "South Park Guide to Life".
 * Investigate adding [unlinked are unlikelies] Cupid Cartman, Darryl Nathan Weathers, Father Maxi, Jimbo Kern, Ms. Ellen,
 * Fishsticks [In South Park's own way, promotes acceptance of oneself as a gay fish. Would be hard to translate into the article and is mainly used to mock Kanye West]
 * The gayfish song parody (mocking Kanye West with implications about his sexual relations with fish) makes mention of a 'cross-dressing type named Trish'.
 * During the episode "The F Word", in South Park's own way, they advocate that the use of the word 'fag' to be used against loud bike riders, effectively dissipating the hate in the word against homosexuals and changing its intended use to be in disapproval of obnoxious bike riders. They show gay characters supporting the 'meaning be changed', with a fictional picketing slogan of "gays against fags". However, they were not unanimous with their audience reaction where some audience members were offended by the use in the episode, with GLBTQ Legal Advocates & Defenders [or 'GLAD'] was felt particular, saying it would likely encourage its casual use, even asking them to pull the episode but with Comedy Central refusing to. This is despite some in-cheek commentary in the episode where politicians were remarking that because the dictionary defined it as a pejorative term against gay people it was till causing harm despite intent. Furthermore, during the episode's commentary Trey Parker said, 'come on, let it mean something else'.
