-==Typo removal==
+==My to-do list==
-I'm currently fixing typos in the mainspace. The easiest way to find them is to search for duplicate words like "the the", "a a", "an an", "a an", "to to" (warning: this one can be grammatical in some contexts), etc.
-After this is done, I plan to search for variations of game titles, like "Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door" for "Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door".
+. Change "he or she" (referring to the player) to "they", "him or her" to "them", etc., except in cited text.
-==''Paper Mario'' Minor NPC project==
+. Items like [[Roast Whacka Bump]] lack the in-game description. Also many ''Super Paper Mario'' characters lack Tippi's tattles.
-Currently working on [[List of minor NPCs in Paper Mario]]. The quotes come from the [http://www.romhacking.net/community/3078/ Paper Mario Text Dump] by Rew.
-I used to put the tables on the location pages (such as [[Star Haven#Characters found]]), but some of the tables were very big and pages like [[Peach's Castle]] and [[Bowser's Castle]] couldn't afford them.
+More importantly, some infoboxes fail to mention from which game the in-game description comes:
+<pre>
+Ultra Stone
+|description=''"A stone. Use it to ultra-rank one of your party members."'' <!--this quotation is from paper mario-->
+</pre>
-{| class="wikitable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"
+. For pages like [[List of implied characters]], see what pages redirect to them. The target of redirects are typically "List of implied characters#XXX". Check whether this works (i.e. whether XXX actually appears as a section title).
-!Mysterious code
-|-
+. On [[List of minor NPCs in Paper Mario]], consolidate the quotations of the shop runners (and maybe of a few other characters whose quotes are not completely listed).

-<pre>
-line = s => `* "''${s}''"`
-function block(l) {
+. Download all the navtemplates and write a script to check article->nav and nav->article
-    [title, tattle, ...quotes] = l;
-    return `|-\n|style="text-align:center"|[[File:PM Bob-Omb Red.png]]<br>${title}\n|data-label="Quotes" style="font-size:90%"|\n${quotes.map(line).join('\n')}\n|data-label="Goombario's Tattle" style="font-size:90%"|\n${line(tattle)}`
-}
-function f(s) {
+. Update [[List of characters]] (and co) to include the latest created ''Paper Mario'' and ''SPM'' characters.
-    blocks=s.split('\n\n').map(x=>x.split('\n')).map(block).join('\n')
-    console.log(blocks)

+. <s>Give {{tem|footnote}} the ability to associate one footnote to several footnote tags, and use the template on [[List of minor NPCs in Paper Mario]].</s> MediaWiki references are better as they support mouse hover.

+The page [[List of minor NPCs in Paper Mario]] is largely finished.
-Quote 1
+* The quotes come from the [http://www.romhacking.net/community/3078/ Paper Mario Text Dump] by Rew. Some of them have been confirmed by actually playing the game, but the others (such as the Toad Town ones) have not.
-Quote 2`)
+* The compilation of this article led to the discovery of a few new named NPCs (the [[Rangers]] and the [[Great Gossip Trio]]) as well as new facts about existing named NPCs.
-</pre>
+* I'm not satisfied with the layout of the page as it currently stands, but I don't know how to improve it with my crude HTML/CSS skills.
