<p>So far, errors section consists on a bullet list of errors of any nature spotted on an specific episode. They are submitted at any order, and photos are added if available.
</p><p>I think it needs an overhaul. So my proposal is this:
</p><p>There are three principal types of errors:
</p><p>1) Plot: for instance, in "Ocean Gem" Greg broke his left leg but in "House Guest", Greg has medical support in his right leg. Plot errors <i>always</i> are going to be from the latter episode unless the crewniverse, by any means, states otherwise. So, for this instance, the error spotted would be a part of "House Guest", but if the crewniverse would've told the right leg was the one broken, the error would be part of "Ocean Gem".
</p><p>Plot errors also include sequence errors, i.e., errors on the storyline of the same episode. For instance, when Garnet lifts the centipeetle gem with the left hand but then appeared in the right hand.
</p><p>A timemark will be posted before the error when this starts. Let's assume Greg is seen hurt since [00:11], so the error will be listed as:
</p><p>[00:11] In "Ocean Gem" Greg broke his left leg but in "House Guest", Greg has medical support in his right leg.
</p><p>2) Design: this section is going to be made with <i>all</i> the design errors on characters (like their regular clothing, their colors, gem placements, etc.) as well as elements (backgrounds, buildings, devices, etc). Examples for this section are Pearl losing her socks until the next scene on "Gem Glow", gems from the temple gate being on an incorrect orders in "Lion 2: The Movie" and the multiple Garnet gem swaps; and so on.
</p><p>An important note is that this errors needs to be <i>notorious</i>. Bear in mind that multiple storyboarders are drawing the same characters so they don't need to look exactly the same in each frame. So, for instance, "Steven's face is rounder" or "Amethyst is smaller" is
not acceptable for this section, or as an error at all.
</p><p>A timemark will be posted before the error when this starts. Let's assume Pearl loses her socks on [02:00], so the error will be listed as:
</p><p>[02:00] Pearl loses her socks.
</p><p>3) Animation: Sometimes, characters loses parts for a few frames (as quick as one or two, like Steven's mouth when Garnets holds him up on "Chille Tid"), there are glitches in the animation (like on Garnet's snore at the end of the same episode); and so on. These errors are all going to be listed as Animation errors.
</p><p>A timemark will be posted before the error when this starts. Let's assume Garnet's snore starts on [11:03], so the error will be listed as:
</p><p>[11:03] When Garnet snores, the screen glitches
</p><p><big><u>Important remarks on this style</u>:</big>
</p><p>1) "Errors" will now keep <i>up to three separated sections</i>: Plot, design and animation, in <i>that specific order</i>. If an episode doesn't count with plot errors, for instance,
the plot section isn't created. On unreleased and released with not-yet-discovered-flaws episodes the section will be errased, and created below the Trivia and above the Transcript when at least one is spotted.
2) The errors will be shown in a descending order, meaning the earliest on the episode comes at first, and the latest at last. Example (and including the sections, assuming one single episode has errors of all types):
</p>
Plot
[03:11] First plot error of the episode.
[03:43] Second plot error of the episode.
.
.
.
[11:00] Last plot error of the episode.
Design
[xx:yy] <i>Nth</i> design error of the episode.
Animation
[xx:yy] <i>Nth</i> animation error of the episode.
<p>3) Bullet points are not going to be necessary anymore. You will use breakers <br>, no matter the editor (if source, classic or visual), after the end of the error sentence.
4) Images about the errors (if available) will be added into the gallery, on the errors section (the last one). The description of the photo will be:
</p><p>[SECTION] + [TIMEMARK] + [ERROR]
</p><p>For instance: "[PLOT] [00:10] In "Ocean Gem", Greg broke his left leg but in "House Guest", he had medical support on the right one". The hierarchy will be respected following point 1) and 2) of this list. So, at the end, the gallery will look like:
</p>
Errors
<gallery>
[PLOT] [xx:yy] First plot error
.
.
.
[PLOT] [xx:yy] Last plot error
[DESIGN] [xx:yy] <i>Nth</i> design error
[ANIMATION] <i>Nth</i> animation error
</gallery>
<p>5) The images about errors will respect the current categorization guidelines, PLUS a new category, "Episodes errors" that will be added WITH the currently requiered categories (i.e, "Gallery files" and "[Character] images").
6) [00:00] timemark will be
on the beginning of the episode itself, this means, right after the intro and the title card have been displayed. A note will be added on the Errors section displaying:
</p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><i>Note: Time is displayed in [mm:ss]; [00:00] refers to the point after the title card is displayed and before the episode's start</i>.</div>
<hr><p>So this is it, in the first place thank you for reading all this because I acknowledge this wasn't a short post. Using "
<span style="color:#00ff00;">
Support</span>" or "
<span style="color:#FF0000;">
Oppose</span>" means <u>
you agree or disagree with the totality of this proposal.</u> If you, instead, want to duscuss parts of this proposal that you specially agree or disagree and make suggestions about changes, you need to use "
Comment ". You might, as well, vote and leave feedback using both templates ("Support/Oppose" and "Comment").
</p>
Comment Idk whether to really quite support or oppose as of now since I feel I haven't been here a long while, but I still feel uncomfortable about the use of this tool because of the risks that're possible. Is there another tool that's still as effective that can be used or another method?
