View source for User:NanoRuby

Hello hello! My name is Nano (they/them) and I love all generations of pony! My main focuses on this wiki are on G5 stuff and fixing up anything more technical I can without having access to the backend, plus housekeeping. In particular I'm working on overhauls of every G5 character page and categorising and archiving G5 merch.

Anyone has permission to use my uploaded photos ([[:Category:Donated by NanoRuby|Category: Donated by NanoRuby]] for anything aside from product listings and as long as you don't take credit for the photos yourself. I appreciate credit but ultimately don't care that much.

If you have questions or something you want to donate to the wiki, I can be found on the MLP Trading Post also under the name NanoRuby and on Tumblr as Nrpony. I'm also NanoRuby on the MLP arena and @nanopony on Bluesky, but I'm not super active on either of those.

Shameless plug for my pony website that I built from scratch. It has a commercial archive, photos, graphics, all sorts of stuff! You can check it out at [https://theponyhighway.neocities.org/ theponyhighway.neocities.org]

==To-Do:==

===To Start:===
*Create [[G5 Dinosaw]] page and add all relevant info and images
*Scan Dinosaw character cards
*Overhaul [[G5 Plush Ponies]] page
*[[G5 TV Advertisements]]
*Add G5 voice actors to character pages
*Add G5 names and stuff from different languages and countries
*Convert all G5 plush sizes to cm?
*Create G5 navigation box and add to character pages
*Re-take [[Zipp Storm#Dinosaw - Good Friends (Series 2)|Good Friends Series 2 Zipp]]'s photos to hopefully better show colour change
*Create G5 navigation box and add to character pages
*Create missing G5 category pages
*Rename [[Discord]], [[Princess Celestia]], [[Princess Luna]], [[Starlight Glimmer]] and [[Trixie Lulamoon]] to include G4 at the beginning? and maybe create disambig pages? G4 is still kind of the default for these more minor G5 characters so I don't know if it's worth redirecting them to disambig pages or just keeping the G4 redirects.
*Rename [[Glory]], [[Blue Belle]], [[Seashell]] and [[Snuzzle]] to include G1 at the beginning
*Rename [[Fifi]] to "[[G1 Fifi (So Soft)]]" and [[TAF Fifi]] to "[[G1 Fifi (Twice As Fancy)]]"
*Create [[Fifi (disambiguation)]] page
*Complete list of all G5 head and body [[G5 Molds|Molds]], as equivalent to earlier gen [[G1 Poses|Poses]]
*Year and date pages like on TFWiki? Long-term fun goal, not a priority
*Revamp those table things used for episode info
*Bug someone about getting page deletion privileges
*No but really how has this site been around since 2010 with only one person having the ability to delete pages
*Everything
*I love this site but wow it needs so much help

===In-Progress:===
*Finish creating all G5 character pages and adding toys and media blurbs
*Create a bunch of G5 misc merchandise pages
*Housecleaning:
**[[Special:DeadendPages|Dead-end pages]]
**<s>[[Special:DoubleRedirects|Double redirects]]</s>
**[[Special:OrphanedPages|Orphaned pages]]
**There's probably more but I think those are the big ones for now
*Create finished stub Templates
*Create example pages
*Revamp Disambig templates ([[Template:Disambig-pony-accessory]] is locked for some reason? Need to ask someone about that)

===Stuff I've done:===
*[[:Category:Donated by NanoRuby|Category: Donated by NanoRuby]]
*Overhauled [[G5 Characters]] page. Could maybe include a background ponies section in the future but that's only if we really want to be completionists and shouldn't be a priority.
*Finished listing releases for every G5 pony that got a toy
*Updated [[G1 Characters]] page (old, probably needs overhauling)
*Updated [[G1 Canon]] page to discuss animated media (also old, probably needs overhauling as well)
*Updated lists of [[G1 TV Advertisements]], [[G2 TV Advertisements]] and [[G3 TV Advertisements]]. All need updating to clear out dead links and add new ones I've found since then.
*Reformatted G1-5 Dishware pages to match each other (shouldn't they be called Dinnerware? I've tried looking it up and Dishware is not a common term. G2 page uses Dinnerware for some reason)
*[[Help:Example character article]]
