=Creating Infoboxes and Navboxes=
+
==Get your ass back to these good ideas==
  
The process for creating an infobox:
+
===2024===
* before you begin: map out the information that will go into the infobox
 
* top level categories become headers
 
* secondary level key-value pairs become labels/data
 
* when you're ready to make the template, copy the contents of an existing template that uses {{Tl|Infobox}}, like {{Tl|Infobox team}}
 
* start with two pieces: the includeonly piece (calling the {{Tl|Infobox}} template) and the noinclude piece (which gives an example)
 
* it's helpful to do this step in a text editor, so you can edit the example and the Infobox template it calls at the same time

Big Purple Time Machine
 +
* invent a time machine to try and change the past
 +
* everything they do just results in a bunch of alternative Golly universes where they continue to lose the pennant game
  
=October 2021=
+
Golly Mirror Universes:
 +
* would require rewriting golly core to do reverse indexing of array
 +
* would probably be bookkeeping - intriguing idea
 +
* revives the whole idea of a golly sandbox - different patterns, different maps, different CA types... golly reverse grid

==Eliminating Scribunto==
+
(good point - DET or BTX being up 2-0 in a playoff series is a notable event...)
  
Part of the reason the wiki locks up and takes forever and is extremely easy to overwhelm
+
tool to find these?
  
Logging into emmett and checking htop while this happens shows that scribunto is responsible
+
==Featured Games and Series==
  
(Notes on private wiki)
+
===Game: Visualize Your Power===
  
Went back in time to copy the contents of the Infobox template from June 2013, before they switched to Lua
+
[[Visualize Your Power]]
  
==Series Outcomes in a Table==
+
This raises so many questions...
 +
* First: how did we even find this? I think we zeroed in on the one-point victory, and it just so happened to fold in nicely with the season narrative
 +
* Second: we could use better templates. what cup, what season, what day, score, color boxes with team colors
 +
* Third: love it, in spirit. but it opens a can of worms. programmatically finding these matches, running golly spice calculations, organizing golly spice data, compute resources needed to do that (although, shoot, we can just sit back and let emmett/seawater chug...)
 +
* Fourth: potential to use these to generate or reinforce a narrative thread... might be a good time to introduce other elements to help the narrative thread from getting repetitive, for example, managers and team captains
  
* color table showing outcome of each game
+
===Series: Delaware Torches Detroit===
* visually easier to see what's going on
 
* lds and lcs all lumped into single page, but should championship series have its own page?
 
* series runs summary - who scored how much.
 
* or could we just put that in some records table?
 
  
==Divisions and Offices==
+
[[Delaware Torches Detroit]]
  
===Org Chart===
+
Similar idea - but this one is for a series...
  
{{Tl|Navbox governance}}
+
* Focus is on the Detroit Grape Chews (as good a tragicomic starting point as any, right??)
 +
* Single greatest choke of all time (series)
 +
* Could also do features of each double-choke series,
 +
* Could also give nicknames to each Detroit choke, and each Baltimore choke,
 +
* (This is where we'd want to dig deeper into tragic sports lore for some ideas)
 +
* Could use Grape Chews choke series as jumping-off points for Hot League teams
 +
* (Repeat same with Baltimore, Cold League teams)
  
[[Commissioners Office]]
+
Procedure:
 +
* Create a plan
 +
* Start with double choke series, then move on to rest of choke series
 +
** games, context
 +
** alliterative nicknames for teams (amazin mets, sultans of swat, whatever)
 +
* Then move on to games
 +
** we know final scores, so start with one-point games
 +
** every one-point game deserves some investigation
 +
** then move on to shutouts or blowouts - any at critical points in the season
 +
** I think we found the Sacramento Boot Lickers one by looking at a table of W-L, game opponent, game outcome, etc., for each season, season by season...
 +
** figure out if that was a command line tool, or a wiki template, or what...

==Rivalries==
 
 
 
Reorganizing all of the crowns page to use the templates pattern, and writing some bot scripts to keep the templates up to date.
 
 
 
This is gong to be LOTS of templates, hang on to your hats.

==Bot Expansion to New Cups==
 
 
 
Each cup has several bot-created pages. This is a list to keep track of which bot-created pages have already been expanded to new cups, and which still have to be expanded.

* [[Records/Points]]
+

* [[Records/PPG]]
+
* ...could keep going
* [[Records/Length]]
+
* ...but stops there, too much work
* [[Records/Shutouts]]
+
* Hard to keep track of the things that aren't automated, too, some things go years without getting updated because I just forgot about them.
* [[Records/Matchups]]
 
  
<s>Expand season bot for rainbow cup</s> (done)
+
==Reorganize Team Pages==
  
<s>Update season pages for latest rainbow seasons</s> (done)
+
Following {{CTeam|DET}}'s lead (above - they are one of the pages with the most extensive lore)
  
* [[Rainbow/Season 1]]
+
Reorganize team pages, starting with DET:
* [[Rainbow/Season 2]]
 
* [[Rainbow/Season 3]]
 
  
Update titles/pennants/champions template bot
+
* General overview
 +
** History
 +
** What cups, when joined, name changes, moves
 +
** Major rivalries and evolution over time
 +
** Notable achievements, records, place in broader lore
 +
** Team collective character, notable fandom info
 +
** Stadium
  
Update cup page to add titles/pennants/champions template - [[Rainbow Cup]]
+
* Hellmouth Cup
* Division winners - still makes sense
+
** History
* Pennant winners - doesn't really need its own table.
+
** Chart
* Champions - shows the 4 "pennant winners"
+
** Summary
  
===Bracket Templates===
+
* Klein Cup
 +
** History
 +
** Chart
 +
** Summary
  
We have {{Tl|8TeamBracket}} (lines are broken, but that's a separate issue)
+
===Why reorganize now===
  
We need {{Tl|8TeamRainbowBracket}} (based on 4 team bracket, but adding 2 teams per round)
+
makes lore segmented
 
 
Done. Also managed to fix the lines issue in {{Tl|8TeamBracket}}.
 
 
 
Fix procedure:
 
 
 
* Set border color to red for the cell whose border is messed up, see that it is collapsing halfway through (where the border disappears)
 
* Fixed it by setting border=0 and finding where the cells didn't extend far enough to the right
 
* Had to add some empty cells with a specified colspan, right up until the empty cell whose border is supposed to form the connecting line
 
* Voila, took a couple of tries but now it's finished and fixed and looking good!
 
 
 
Fixed 2021-10-30

Deal with this later...

==Pattern for Lore==
 
 
 
Instead of re-typing and re-describing the same things over and over, write the text once in a template, and include across all relevant pages.
 
 
 
Example: {{Tl|PianoTunersHackingScandalFragment}} can be included on the relevant Toroidal Cup page, the FWPT team page, the SAC team page, a page that lists scandals/controversies, etc.
 
 
 
===Procedure for Writing Lore Fragments===
 
 
 
Procedure:
 
  
# Narratives are linking teams together, generally
+
gives us opportunity to make everything uniform and automated into templates
# Write the narrative out on respective team's page, or in a new page, or whatever. Just write.
 
# Once it's roughly done, split the whole thing into lore fragments
 
# Maintain a master list of lore fragments
 
# Once finished turning into templates, go through list and include templates on any other relevant pages
 
  
Each lore fragment is tagged with this category:
+
overview template
  
* [[:Category:Lore Fragments]]
+
(old page, new page, figure out what to port.)
  
Furthermore, tagged with a cup-specific lore category:
+
so much work.
  
* [[:Category:Hellmouth Cup Lore]]
+
too much work.
* [[:Category:Toroidal Cup Lore]]
 
* [[:Category:Pseudo Cup Lore]]
 
  
Last, tag with specific details:
+
shadow pages?
  
* [[:Category:Midwest Love Triangle]]
+
[[User:Ch4zm/June 2025/Template]]
* [[:Category:MILF]]
 
* etc.
 
  
All included at the end between "noinclude" tags...

Season by Season

User:Ch4zm/December_2022/All_Teams_Season_By_Season#golly

Get your ass back to these good ideas

2024

User:Ch4zm#December 2024

Big Purple Time Machine

  • invent a time machine to try and change the past
  • everything they do just results in a bunch of alternative Golly universes where they continue to lose the pennant game

Golly Mirror Universes:

  • would require rewriting golly core to do reverse indexing of array
  • would probably be bookkeeping - intriguing idea
  • revives the whole idea of a golly sandbox - different patterns, different maps, different CA types... golly reverse grid

2021

User:Ch4zm/October 2021 Lore Jam

(good point - DET or BTX being up 2-0 in a playoff series is a notable event...)

tool to find these?

Featured Games and Series

Game: Visualize Your Power

Visualize Your Power

This raises so many questions...

  • First: how did we even find this? I think we zeroed in on the one-point victory, and it just so happened to fold in nicely with the season narrative
  • Second: we could use better templates. what cup, what season, what day, score, color boxes with team colors
  • Third: love it, in spirit. but it opens a can of worms. programmatically finding these matches, running golly spice calculations, organizing golly spice data, compute resources needed to do that (although, shoot, we can just sit back and let emmett/seawater chug...)
  • Fourth: potential to use these to generate or reinforce a narrative thread... might be a good time to introduce other elements to help the narrative thread from getting repetitive, for example, managers and team captains

Series: Delaware Torches Detroit

Delaware Torches Detroit

Similar idea - but this one is for a series...

  • Focus is on the Detroit Grape Chews (as good a tragicomic starting point as any, right??)
  • Single greatest choke of all time (series)
  • Could also do features of each double-choke series,
  • Could also give nicknames to each Detroit choke, and each Baltimore choke,
  • (This is where we'd want to dig deeper into tragic sports lore for some ideas)
  • Could use Grape Chews choke series as jumping-off points for Hot League teams
  • (Repeat same with Baltimore, Cold League teams)

Procedure:

  • Create a plan
  • Start with double choke series, then move on to rest of choke series
    • games, context
    • alliterative nicknames for teams (amazin mets, sultans of swat, whatever)
  • Then move on to games
    • we know final scores, so start with one-point games
    • every one-point game deserves some investigation
    • then move on to shutouts or blowouts - any at critical points in the season
    • I think we found the Sacramento Boot Lickers one by looking at a table of W-L, game opponent, game outcome, etc., for each season, season by season...
    • figure out if that was a command line tool, or a wiki template, or what...

Series: Midwest Staredown

The Midwest Staredown

  • I think this is a fruitful line,
  • Keep working it,
  • Add templates for series,
  • Can utilize information we already have on the wiki to find interesting ones

Community College and the bureaucracy

Hellmouth Community College Fire Department

get back to thinking about the weird worlds, campus layouts, divisions

not a gigantic corporate complex, simple 80s community college campus

List of Bureaucracy Pages

Original

Original ideas: User:Ch4zm/October 2021

June 2025

  • Lack of lore leads to one or two ideas sticking on a page, immobile
  • Trying to get unstuck leads to one or two pages having more extensive lore, using templates, building things out
  • ...could keep going
  • ...but stops there, too much work
  • Hard to keep track of the things that aren't automated, too, some things go years without getting updated because I just forgot about them.

Reorganize Team Pages

Following DET.png Detroit Grape Chews 's lead (above - they are one of the pages with the most extensive lore)

Reorganize team pages, starting with DET:

  • General overview
    • History
    • What cups, when joined, name changes, moves
    • Major rivalries and evolution over time
    • Notable achievements, records, place in broader lore
    • Team collective character, notable fandom info
    • Stadium
  • Hellmouth Cup
    • History
    • Chart
    • Summary
  • Klein Cup
    • History
    • Chart
    • Summary

Why reorganize now

makes lore segmented

gives us opportunity to make everything uniform and automated into templates

overview template

(old page, new page, figure out what to port.)

so much work.

too much work.

shadow pages?
