Project: Make Trivia 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
 * The Simpsons Already Did It/Trivia
 * Roger Ebert Should Lay off the Fatty Foods/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
 * Hell on Earth 2006/Trivia
 * Let Go, Let Gov/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']

Ongoing Projects
Smaller projects or those under investigation.

Trivia Standardisation
In the aftermath of the main project to standardise Trivia pages, there are some that need addressing. Some feed into 'readability':
 * 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)

Legacy Pages Cleanup
There's a lot of old stuff needing updating or even deleting. There may be multiple sections to this project. This section may also change rapidly.

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

Banked: Mr. Dog ? 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.

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.
 * The contents (navigation) section 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.
 * Made sure all categories under 'Fundamental' root category were under 'South Park Archives' root and deleted Fundamental. This was in order to have one root category. Some categories related to general wiki improvement were moved to 'Attention required'.
 * Archived discussion ('Community Discussion') posts were binned. The reason being is the information was very out of date and considered to be redundant. Furthermore, discussion methods have changed a lot since them.
 * Created a page that details anything LGBT-related in South Park by any media. Attached to all related characters. Needs to be on-topic, not every LGBT character should be linked as it is linked to the category.
 * Overhauled the FAQ, adding some new sections and updating the old as well as binning anything as necessary. There is some snazzy information on editing in the source as well as important explanations on formatting. Joining discord logged too, with a footer on joining projects.

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.

Messy Testy Zone [do not publish]
A 'bin' so I can come back and forth to an edit.

Current test:

Latest revision from test start:

Pages with Looney Tunes parody - music heard when a character is moving is called Pizzicato, which is the plucking of an instrument. It also occurs when a character interacts with another eg slapstick.
