User blog:Edwin Shade/February Googology Improvement Plan: Pronunciations and Wiki Polishing

In this months googological improvement plan I will expand on ways in which I feel this wiki could improve, if not for necessity, then at least for aesthetic purposes. For last months improvement plan see here.

On Pronunciations
In the past few weeks I have undertaken a project to pronounce all the numbers in Saibian's regiments, and all the numbers on this wiki which may not be self-evident in their pronunciation, such as Bower's meameamealokkapoowa oompa. If this should remain a solitary affair I estimate completion of all the regiments by the end of 2018, assuming a rate of 45 pronunciations a day. Why though, should this be a solitary affair ?

I encourage all who are able to add pronunciations to Saibian's regiments to do so, and all other numbers which might pose a problem in enunciation. This way the task of pronunciation can be reduced to a much lesser time, perhaps only as short as three months, lastly, it would be most efficient if you picked a regiment and stuck with it, so if you decide to add pronunciations for a given regiment by Saibian please add a comment in the talk page that you will be doing so, so that others do not begin adding pronunciations as you are and there is an edit of conflict.

On Wiki Polishing
February is such a short month that I decided to post an improvement to the wiki for every two days, beginning today, February 5, 2018.

February 5-6, 2018 [Wiki-Specific Badges]
As this wiki has been online for almost a decade, it is remarkable to me how certain features have been undeveloped or not taken advantage of. For instance, on this wiki we have a badge system which is not unique to the content of this wiki, but rather may apply to just about any wiki ! Now this may seem like a trivial thing, but I believe it would make things more immersive and interesting if we had wiki-specific badges, with their own titles and icon pictures.

As I recall, LittlePeng9 once said that if someone provided him with the pictures and titles he'd do the rest, so now I am going to take him up on that offer. In a short while I will compile a list of pictures and titles for badges on this wiki, which I hope can be added to the wiki, if not by LittlePeng9, then perhaps by Cloudy176.

(Note this is not for my own benefit, as I've disabled badge visibility on my user page, (for I felt the fact most of them were earned by an exploitation of the system was not compatible with the title that appears above a user's badges: "[Username]'s Earned Badges")).
