This sub-page is a personal sandbox for wiki tinkering purposes. Expect experimenting with templates, infoboxes, article options, and other sundry toys below.

An image gallery on the homepage benefits immensely aesthetically if all the images have uniform dimensions. The same principle applies to Characters, which is in need of uniformly-sized thumbnails for several characters still...yet more things to do.

Gen. use Info/Notice Template
Set up a very utilitarian, all-purpose notice template just now, since the wiki probably needs one in these Anime Times. What makes it all purpose is that the message is customizable. Testing it out below since I wasn't sure about the image size or whether the image would even be a good choice (I spent...far too long in MediBang editing it. Sure, remove the text and whatnot, I can do. (Re)connecting lineart? Clumsier. Making a patterned background transparent for a black-and-white drawing? Agh. I don't use levels/channels/threshold as much as I should; they're what let me get the image to the point where I could delete the 'background'.

(Might still need to replace original file with a smaller res one.)

(I caught myself considering making variations of that image by inserting different text into the blank page, e.g. "PSA" or "Stop" or "W.I.P.", but that would take even more unecessary time. I can always do that in the future, when there's not...so many more important things to do.)

Hm, I only put one customizable row, but maybe one for the message and another one for a title would be better? Probably for more specific templates.

I told myself not to spend more time on this than absolutely necessary, since I'm drowning in things to be done for the wiki + DMDP things to document, so I Won't Do That.

Now for an article...

Working Moniker in the Absence of a Declared Title is a gaiden novel featuring Phantom Solitaire.

Synopsis

One cannot say it was a betrayal of Dengeki Bunko to do next to nothing about the 20th anniversary of ''Baccano! The Rolling Bootlegs on February 10, 2023, nay, one cannot be too bitter, for fans did get the Baccano! ~in the 1700s~'' manga as a December 25, 2022 Christmas present, and of course the onus is on such fans to buy the manga, thereby evoking such tangible phrases as Consumer Support and Financial Incentive and I Can't Believe it's Barely Profitable—

—and let this be a reminder for all to buy Vamp! and Etsusa Bridge...and that new Naritaverse series Pandora Shark, but especially Vamp!, because it has been on hiatus since the Dark Ages and if DMDP has piqued anyone's interest in how Narita treats vampires, well, they Ain't Seen Nothing Yet and should henceforth scuttle to read Narita's Vamp! take and enjoy such curious creations as a Holmes-wannabe detective vampire and his amnesiac werewolf assistant who he calls Watson, a dhampyr mayor who is the pettiest of petty villains, humans who eat vampires, a black hole vampire called Hawkings, and more besides—

—so if 2023 is to be the Year of Narita even more than it already is, with the DMDP and Fate/strange fake anime, then Make It (More) So!

...This enough of a article demo? Right. Think I need to reduce the template's bottom margin. Wait. I'm doing the template tinkering thing again, aren't I.

Flex Container exp.
Flex container for Characters viable? But FandomMobile skin doesn't play nice at all with much CSS.



CG Family Tree
I swear at some point I must have come across a better version of the Family Tree template at Templates Wiki or Dev Wiki at some point. I regret putting off giving that template a crack (it does exist, right? A better alternative to this cumbersome, finicky template?)... Maybe I should go see if it's still around.
