Page	Completed	To-do	%
Main Page	Main page established. Basic links are present.	Redesign to look nicer. Replace beta icons with nicer banners akin to Dustloop's character grid. See [1] as an idea from User:SynthesisSGD.	1/3
Essentials Pages	Pages have been created.	RoA2/How to Play... requires revisions. Should be framed as a beginner-friendly guide to someone brand new to fighting games, including clear visuals, exercises for the player to get familiar with the engine, and resources for players to understand how to approach the game. RoA2/Controls... ...Needs simplification. ...Should be changed from paragraph format to table format. ...Should also separate out technical info from basic user info. "What joystick value will this give me?" versus "What do I need to turn up to get better babydashes?" ...Provide calibration guides for what a player might want. RoA2/System Mechanics Asset uploading, which can currently be found at User:Lynnifer/sandbox. Hitbox and Environ require sections. Stubs require finishing. Needs a test to be able to run through and watch an entire set, being able to identify every single thing down to the detail in the System Mechanics page. RoA2/Stages... ...Need to have a discussion about how to structure this. RoA2/HUD RoA2/Training Should include more practical guides about how to use it.	1/8
Detailed & Advanced Information Pages	Created Universal Strategy, Frame Data Explanation, Esoterica, Gameplay Recording, Character Stats.	RoA2/Universal Strategy A ton of work that User:Lynnifer wants to write for this. RoA2/Esoterica Need to discuss what might belong here compare to other things in SysMechs page. RoA2/Frame Data Need to discuss which examples and use cases should be put here.	0/3
Archived Information Pages	Pages have been created. RoA2/FAQ RoA2/Patch Notes RoA2/Discords		3/3
Customization	Pages made. Character Progression Sub-Pages made. Icons Emotes	Pages made. RoA2/Cosmetics RoA2/In-Game Store Icons & Emotes pages combined into RoA2/Cosmetics	0/2
Character Pages	Pages for all characters created. Frame data uploaded.	Blurbs need review. Need to set up a rubric, guideline, and purpose for these. Character pros & cons need to be reviewed with character mains. Finalize move images for all characters. Fleet is missing several images from their moves. Upload gimmick images for the following characters: Maypul, Orcane, Wrastor, Zetterburn, Ranno. User:Lynnifer is planning on getting to these later on. Create a basic version of character subpages (Strategy, Combos, Matchups). Remove from list when complete. Don't need to be particularly detailed at the moment, but as long as the foundation is there for people to be able to update it in the future.	2/5
Refactoring	Replace Template:Prompt with Template:Notation across pages. Refactor Template:FrameData-ROA2 and associated Templates & Tables.	Separate Glossary by game. Figure out hitbox displays for moves. Separate frame data from hit data for a new move display method.	2/3
Other	SEO optimization for visibility. Get image/webm files in RoA2/Icons animating automatically.		2/2
