Random notes
Please do not edit this list; I will update it myself. This list is always in flux, but is accurate to the moment, now that I have moved all of this over from my personal notes document. Note that it does not typically mention subsets of larger projects already listed above or within itself.


 * Ideas for general improvements
 * Category: images should link to the appropriate Gallery page for convenience (there are a bunch of other things like this, perhaps there could be some kind of navigation template[s]).
 * Make a template for the links to galleries on the page of each character who has one (couldn't the link also be in the infobox for convenience?). Not entirely necessary, but fun.
 * I have a halfhearted belief that there should be a category for cropped images, since it's important to distinguish those from unaltered images, and anything more than cropping gets a FANMADE tag.
 * Clear international song version pages from Special:DeadendPages - perhaps add links to them in the Songs template, or something. Not a huge deal though.
 * General fun project for myself: create a compilation of every literary action in the show (reading, writing, etc.). I want to see whether there's a significant case for writing in Equestria being right-to-left, because characters often read or write that way (of course, the real reason is that the animators are just silly, but this could be fun).


 * Galleries to improve (disregarding prevalence of jpgs and badly-named files, as those are included in other projects) (in episode order)
 * missing some notable scenes, captions, looks like it needs some ordering at least at the part where the elements are getting activated
 * I like Fluttershy's "that's what I've been trying to..." and it's missing a lot anyway.
 * many watermarked images, many out of order
 * needs expansion, missing some scenes
 * needs more images (Pinkie's section only has two, sheesh).
 * on the smaller side, and my notes say it needs more images after the reprise.
 * pretty small, could certainly have many more images.
 * another pretty short one. The part where stuff is flying around after Sweetie Belle touches something would be good, for one thing.
 * extremely lacking. Could be my first major gallery addition project with all new images :P. Notably, it's missing the part with Sweetie Belle sweeping the tree and humming the CMC song.
 * somewhat lacking and could have better sectioning, and has a high concentration of malformed file names.
 * the greatest concentration of terrible names. They're mostly that "GIYC" prefixed stuff (the rest are/were low quality), and it doesn't have the greatest coverage of the episode.
 * besides having an "unsorted" section, several other sections are too short, etc.
 * many of Ocredan's images have pretty washed-out colors, not sure what's up with that. But it's kind of bad enough that they should be replaced, not sure if his contribs need a more thorough search. Also, this gallery in general is missing a bunch of fun images.
 * for some reason a bunch of ones here (all uploaded by Tulip?) have weird small black bars at the tops. Many are large size though so not sure if worth replacing. Also, Pinkie's section seems to have a variety of spellings of "balloon."
 * same as previous, a bunch of images here by Mr Brony have black bars/borders and stuff. Bunch of misnamed ones too it seems but those go in another project.
 * a bunch of ones from BluesirTheFox have weird colors. But no watermarks or anything, so probably not worth replacing.
 * despite the length, it's missing some good/important scenes. Notably, at ~10:00 with adult ponies doing stuff (some images might be in character galleries, but many are just missing).
 * Other: Rainbow Dash (duplicates/some jpgs), my notes say Look Before You Sleep character gallery sections (notably Applejack) are missing a bunch (though that fits in with other projects to expand character galleries), (missing Pinkie's antics, which are present in her character gallery; neither has a part I like where Pinkie bounces and the others follow her with their eyes, and I'm sure there's other stuff missing), Ponyville/Gallery seems like it's missing a lot of potential images,  looks like it could use expansion/fixing
 * Can go through galleries to look for bad file names once everything else is done
 * Character galleries: many sections are severely lacking. Examples I noted:, (making noise in the kitchen in the beginning, giving the nicknames, etc.), Cherry Berry/Gallery, , Derpy/Gallery/Characters making faces/Season 1 is apparently lacking many (for example, RD when Little Strongheart jumps over her), ,  needs major improvement,  seems lacking (pretty sure her category has more images than the page does and even then it's not a lot),  (only in one episode so far, shouldn't be hard to find stuff to expand this by a lot),  seems like it should be longer,  is missing many (for example, ),  seems to be very lacking (and I know in particular that there are more that could be added for Luna Eclipsed, need to go through and find those; not sure about other episodes)
 * Derpy/Gallery/Characters making faces tends to have a very high rate of duplicate images. Sometimes a slightly different fame though, and that's harder to reconcile.


 * People whose contributions I want to go through for improvement (alphabetical order)
 * File namespace only
 * - names, quality, categories, maybe more
 * - various issues, including being out of order in galleries (Twilight Keen.jpg is what got it in my notes)
 * - image quality, descriptive names
 * - quality, potential gallery order disruptions (Twilight Sparkle to grab a book S1E8.png got it noted)
 * - quality, size, categories/use in galleries
 * - various ones with various issues, not really major
 * - assorted low-quality and/or uncategorized images in there
 * - image quality (notably black bars); and there were a bunch of duplicates (resizes of extant images) that I deleted, might be more.
 * - low-quality, colors are off, etc.
 * - quality, names
 * - only before a certain point, many are misnamed (with the W stuff that doesn't list the season number, as listed on TeyBot's sandbox), small/watermarked, some not (fully) categorized, and some misspellings. Even his current uploads have very fragmented quotes/phrases for file names, and that kind of bothers me, but it's not really an issue, and they are formatted properly now, so that's good. And the full quotes seem to be included in the galleries so yeah.
 * - unnecessarily verbose file names at the beginning
 * - some quality and name issues, noticed in MTBPW gallery
 * - inconsistent quality (uploaded bad quality over good ones in several cases, I reverted them), bad names
 * - low quality etc. etc. Except the toothpaste one, being a photo and all.
 * - names, quality
 * - confusing.
 * - image quality (mostly just small), capitalization of "PNG" (latter is not a major issue), categorization - continuing uploads
 * - quality (some are distorted), some need better names, some are badly categorized
 * - names, quality, categorization
 * - quality (size, watermarks, colors are too gray)
 * - names, possible duplication (otherwise need to be added to galleries), seem to be pixelated
 * - quality (despite the size), black bars, names (some missing tags), looks like they were all categorized by bots also.
 * - quality, names, categories, duplication?
 * - names(!), categories that bots missed; quality is good.
 * - quality, names/tags, limited gallery use (and therefore, as usual, incomplete categorization. This is why using a bot alone is not the best way to do it.)
 * - image quality, spelling
 * - names (missing S&E tags), some are missing categories, watermarks (but they're almost all huge images that might not be worth replacing)
 * - potential duplicates, names, categories
 * - everything
 * - anything that's manually color-adjusted or whatever should be re-uploaded.
 * - quality (all are ".jpeg"), some need better names
 * - quality (size), many are totally uncategorized (and not in all applicable galleries, as usual)
 * - quality is great, but the names are pretty non-descriptive and there are a lot. Seems to have the typical syndrome of uploading images specifically for one or two characters and so I often don't find them until I have already uploaded a new one and put it in a couple galleries, and there could be other duplicates. And the categories were done by bots so they're missing any of the poor neglected ponies in the image. Actually, some have lowish quality with watermarks and some kind of black border. Seems to vary. But in general, seems to be slightly lower quality than mine.
 * - quality, names
 * - early uploads have some quality issues and are missing tags
 * - somewhat low-quality (size, watermarks), but not a big issue.
 * - self-proclaimed "Derpy/Gallery/Characters making faces Overseer," as I recall many of his images are used there and nowhere else, and are uncategorized. Should be solved by going through the images in that gallery but might as well note it here.
 * - caption spelling/grammar


 * Images that need renaming
 * Generally bad prefixes: (ones with number junk at the beginning), ,  (several pages of ones with S&E tags at the beginning of the name, more of a bot task),  (several badly named Winter Wrap Up images),  (misspelling),  (personality quiz results - why do SO many people not even consider that there are other people around them? For Celestia's sake, I'm antisocial and I have the sense to be aware that with something like this I shouldn't give it such a personalized name. Only a couple of these have someone's name appended to them. I'm considering proposing a subcategory for them. Perhaps a standardized naming scheme as well, though it's not really large enough a scale to justify that.), ,  (Fleur),  (lacks of spaces, "Apple bloom"/"Applebloom", "AppleJack", etc.),  (some messy ones at the end)

 * Images to be replaced and deleted:


 * Other stuff to do
 * Go through Category:Videos and delete any unused ones (they don't seem to show up on UnusedFiles)
 * According to my notes, an image here is (or was) out of order. That's rather vague. Putting images in proper order is one of the more time-consuming tasks.
 * Go through all Transcripts thoroughly for any mistakes and such. This would be pretty time-consuming. One thing I noticed was that some had actions in them, and I believe that's always a no-no?
 * Add screencaps on Special:UnusedFiles to appropriate galleries, or delete them if they're duplicates. The goal is to get that page blank.
 * User pages have the most concentrations of badly-named images, for some reason. Here's an example: User:RainbowDa$h.
 * This category is quite lacking: Category:Noteworthy images.
 * Fix User:Bobogoobo/Images - something about the update broke the galleries. Also, I need to note that the page edit and add picture badges (any others?) keep getting awarded every 500 after the last one. Need to confirm that when I get them.
 * Smaller project: go through Transcripts and put in names for any characters that don't have their actual (current) names in. For example, patients and nurses in Transcripts/Read It and Weep.
 * Work on Category:Pages that need improvement; eventually I want to go through the entirety of every page, shouldn't take too long.
 * Random thing to note: Twilight's mouth is uncolored very often. Sometimes it spreads to others, but with Twilight it's often visible even just casually.
 * I also want to fix the order and stuff in all the galleries (see Category:Galleries that need organization), but that's probably the most time-consuming task of all.
 * I also want to go through all main content pages and look for images that are duplicates, jpgs, etc. Did I already note that here? Lol, no idea. (Example of one that needs to be replaced: File:Gummy bath Twilight.jpg.)
 * As noted above, I want to improve Featherweight's gallery. Shouldn't be too hard, as he's specifically in a few episodes. Philomena would be easy as well, could mostly just go through the episode gallery and get the ones that were missed.
 * See if there's sufficient evidence to state that Twinkleshine and Minuette are often together (like Lyra and Bon Bon), because that's my initial impression.
 * "Quotes" sections on pages need to be synchronized with the proper text/formatting from the transcripts.
 * Category:Daisy images - why does she have her own category (seems to be lacking, also), while the three share a gallery and the other two don't have categories?
 * Images on Forum:Speculation/Animation can tend to be duplicates.
 * Another thing is to go through Special:WantedFiles and make any replacements that were from people renaming images without fixing the links. I hate when people just make more mess. Aside from the terrible GIYC moves, many of these are on blogs or comments and so only admins can edit them.
 * Also, I will also need to check Pinkie Pie/Gallery/Pinkie Pie being cartoonish for everything, just make sure that's included when I go through galleries for stuff.


 * Stuff to make sure isn't messed with:
 * User:Bobogoobo/Images - add/update as necessary
 * In general, make sure "duplicate image" crusades don't remove images that are noticeably different and are useful to have - one example is the scene from A Canterlot Wedding - Part 1 that includes Twinkleshine, Minuette, and Lyra Heartstrings.


 * Bot tasks (perhaps I should just make my own bot account? Need to come up with a good name first, at least :P.)
 * Categorize fanmade images (easy to find with Special:PrefixIndex, at least the ones that are named correctly)
 * Delete unnecessary redirects (blog ones seem to match that description) - can be found at Special:ListRedirects ordered by namespace.
 * See also Forum:Bot to-do list.

Character color schemes
Just in case anyone actually looks at this - feel free to let me know if you want to see any other characters, or anything!

Other

 * Another idea for a fun thing to go here: a sortable chart of every episode and its focal character(s), main themes (keywords?), and anything else notable. The intention is to make it easier than searching the ol' memory banks. Probably make it a subpage for easier searching.
 * Also maybe add the page counts and statistics stuff I have on my CN Wiki sandbox (see here).

Appearances template
Version 1 Main page code

/Apps code This page is used in conjunction with the parent template to make it easy to list the Y/B/M/N templates. /doc code This template is used to display efficiently the list of a character's appearances in each episode in the series, displayed in the Appearances section of each character's page. It can also be used for sets of characters, as on the character appearances page. Currently, up to 30 characters can be used, but that can easily be expanded by someone who can work with the template. Such a person will also need to expand the template for new seasons, and update this documentation.

Syntax
[there was a pre tag here][there was a /pre tag here]

Simply fill in up to 30 character names; they will be linked automatically, except in the case of only one character, when the name will simply be added to the table's header. Character appearances legend will be added automatically if there is only one character, but needs to be placed separately at the top of the page when sets of characters are listed.

For the list of appearances of each character, fill in 26 parameters (one for each episode, in order) in the Appearances/Apps template. A full season of appearances would look like this: Demonstration code Rainbow Dash Character appearances
