==Databasification==

{{Navbox

Despite IMFDB billing itself as a "database" of information, it is not actually structured like a database. Gun appearances have to be manually filled into gun and actor pages, instead of being automatically generated. This forces lots of busywork that could be optimized away; by restructuring the Wiki so that "Gun Appearance Entries" can be logged into a database (containing gun model, gun notes, gun user, etc.), and then having Gun/Actor pages automatically retrieve entries from that database to build their gun appearance tables, this eliminates the need for manual entry inputting, making the appearance pages more complete and reducing the burden on our editors.

Usability Concerns

Databasification

Despite IMFDB billing itself as a "database" of information, it is not actually structured like a database. Gun appearances have to be manually filled into gun and actor pages, instead of being automatically generated. This forces lots of busywork that could be optimized away; by restructuring the Wiki so that "Gun Appearance Entries" can be logged into a database (containing gun model, gun notes, gun user, etc.), and then having Gun/Actor pages automatically retrieve entries from that database to build their gun appearance tables, this eliminates the need for manual entry inputting, making the appearance pages more complete and reducing the burden on our editors.

Example of implementation: Yugipedia's card database functions.

To-Do

  • Wiki-Wide
    • Templatize more tables
    • phase out the old "page template" pages
    • Identify and delete zero-width character + line break combo
    • Phase out See Also guns
    • Fixing the special pages
    • (fake) caliber is stupid
    • More detailed page review system, or at least elaborate on the difference between WIP and Incomplete
    • Fixing director categories
    • Broken files
    • Make the search bar only show "Internet Movie Firearms Database" (no hyphen and stuff after that)
    • Make the search bar not be case sensitive
    • Better sorting for talk-page-only storage pages
    • Disclaimer on IMFDB's reliability as a firearm research source
    • Bring in a more modern Wikipedia/Wikimedia Template suite (more navbox features, better infoboxes, hatnotes, notice boxes, etc.)
  • Media pages
    • Fix and delete the ", The" redirects.
    • Mobile gaming curation proposal
    • Really, user-translated names? (compare w/ Wikipedia policies on naming films)
    • fixing the hitman pages (the state of the pages is in part my fault)
  • Gun pages
    • Reorganize break-action weapon pages (where do i even start)
    • Better name for AKMSU? AKM Krinkov?
    • I messed up the Galil ACE identifications.
    • Samurai Edge individual page maybe? At least do something about the janky Beretta 96 page.
    • Schwarzlose submachine gun
    • Corrections about the Art Gallery Frommer Stop
    • How is the Saving Private Ryan Unertl scope mounted
    • Clean up MKb and StG pages
  • Main Page
    • A better Featured Articles section
    • A Did you know section
    • Sister projects section
    • Known issue: "@media (min-width: 875px)" creates visible "snap" in the margins when you resize and cross the 875px threshold
  • Manufacturer pages
    • Chinese provincial military industries?
  • Templates
    • Make Template:Media table start automatically adjust size

Perpetual Tasks/Vague Goals

  • Small Arms Illustrated photoshops should all be clearly marked (but which ones are SAI photoshops?)
  • Mark out IMFDB original images
    • Do something about IMFDB original photshops?
  • Need some expert opinions on topics like European blank-firing gun manufacturers or Asian airsoft manufacturers
  • IMFDB personal blogs (more media outreach, tap into the "YouTube FPS weapon demo" crowd, address the lingering "country weapon list" demand)
    • Official IMFDB weapon ID guides (inspired by Discord channel)
    • More weapon ID help channels beyond just the Discord channel?
  • Support image annotations (red circle pointing out the "I just broke the fire selector") and/or video weapon demos?
  • Ads, a necessary evil, but could we do still make it look nicer?

Chinese Gun Name Notes

  • SDM is a brand of Italian importer Prima Armi S.r.l.
  • "BAM" logo refers to Jiangsu Xinsu Machinery Manufacturing Co., Ltd.
