Major overhaul - GTA Wiki Main Page (2018-2019)
The GTA Wiki home page is outdated. It works, yes, but if it was to break, for whatever reason, no one would be able to fix it, as not a single active user on this wiki actually knows how it works, let alone dare touch it. For that reason, I plan on giving the main page a major overhaul which will not only keep the page up to trend with the latest template upgrades, but also include new tricks for navigation and better reading. Wish me luck!

Comet / Comet Race / Generic Race
Includes:  •   • Comet
 * The Comet's interior is a purple/blue interior used specifically on several cars, notably reused on Progen and Pfister vehicles. It also has a race variation, which simply adjusts the dial features for the Itali GTB Custom and Comet Retro Custom in their update. As well as this, a race generic edition exists - this acts as a template for the ETR1 to map its own features onto, as the ETR1 uses regular race interior features.

Super GT / Generic Race
Includes:  • SuperGT
 * The SuperGT interior returns from GTA IV, and while the Super GT itself does not appear in the game, is used as an interior for many sports cars. In all of its uses, the layout remains almost identical. It features a compact, light colored scheme with stitching according to the vehicle's primary color. A generic race edition exists - this is simply a template for the Tyrus to use, as the Tyrus uses the regular race edition interior features and uses the SuperGT's base layout to map its own features onto.

Vehicle Website Table
Currently working on new vehicle website tables to match/replicate those in-game. I'm worried about the substantial amount of code on the page and how it might affect the future.

workarounds

Past Experiments
Here are things I either created from scratch, developed or revamped. Don't worry, this isn't all I've done. If you can be bothered, see all my Contributions.

Updates to banner colors and template styles

 * Revamped the Bureaucrat, Administrator and Patroller banner templates (new colors <3)
 * Revamped the Block, Warning, Vandalism, Image License, Bad Images, and US/UK English banner templates
 * Template:Wikipedia was updated by me.

Templates for data and lists

 * Template:Vehiclestats-gtav was designed by me. The consequent Template:Vehiclestats-gtaiv and Template:Vehiclestats-3d tables were initially created by Camilo Flores, but used the base code of the original template.
 * Vehicle Table 2.0 lead to the creation of the latest Vehicles in GTA V table.
 * Template:Vehicles in GTA V Statistics
 * Template:Vehicles in GTA V Statistics DLC (deleted - no longer in use)

Templates for imagery

 * Template:Vehicles in GTA VC Image Table
 * Template:Vehicles in TLAD Image Table
 * Template:Vehicles in TBOGT Image Table
 * Template:Vehicles in GTA IV Image Table
 * Template:Vehicles in GTA V Image Table
 * Vehicle Website Galleries for GTA V.

General article things

 * Template:Variant, Template:VariantTwin and Template:VariantTriple - I created these in order to make variations of vehicles more tabular and uniform, as oppose to unordered article sections.
 * Vehicle Cargo Collections Table - Uniform table to replicate that in-game.

Templates for maintenance and wiki

 * GTA Wiki:To-Do List
 * GTA Wiki:To-Do List/Vehicles
 * GTA Wiki:To-Do List/Locations
 * GTA Wiki:To-Do List/Missions
 * GTA Wiki:To-Do List/Characters
 * GTA Wiki:To-Do List/Businesses & Organisations

General dedication
All imagery and data I collect is stored on 3 different hard drives - as you can tell, I don't want to lose these. I never delete anything, and if I want to save storage space or make up for what it takes up, I will compress files to jpg, but never delete them.


 * I may delete archived folders that contain files that were superseded, so long as the general subject does not differ.

My entire GTA Wiki folder is just over 10 GB large. That's not that much, however there are around 8000 files - roughly the amount of files I have uploaded to the wiki.


 * Vehicles in GTA IV and Vehicles in GTA V - most of my work is based around these articles and every single vehicle in each of these particular titles.
 * 6.5 GB of my GTA Wiki content is down to Vehicles in GTA V
 * There are roughly 4,000 files.
 * Everything is organised into folders and file naming is completed after screenshotting.
 * Design galleries in GTA V make up 3.75 GB of that - There are almost 2,500 files of design gallery images. Estimating that there are roughly 500 vehicles in GTA V, 2500 / 500 only equals 5, which means that are roughly 2500 more images to take.
 * Front and rear quarters make up almost 2 GB - There are almost 800 files of front/rear screenshots, which is roughly all of the GTA V vehicles plus a range of DLC vehicles.
 * Almost 3GB of my GTA Wiki content is down to Vehicles in GTA IV, TLAD and TBOGT
 * Almost 1GB of that is down to design galleries.
 * Just over 1GB is down to front/rear quarter images.
 * Just 13 4K TBOGT images make up 100MB of storage.

Things that match so far
Basically this section is to document which templates match so far, in terms of style. Generally, 2 px borders with consistent colors throughout are prefered. Any templates which try to replicate this but have not been updated to the best of standards should be updated and listed here.

Standard= Hello, Standard. Not Very Standard= Hello, Not Very Standard.
