Hi, I'm a brickfilmer too! Check out my page on the Brickfilms Wiki if you want to see more stuff. I've also been involved in earlier endeavours of organizing and archiving information on brickfilms. I was Minister of Truth, organizer of the Resources section of Brickfilms.com in 2008 up until the schism. Additionally, around that time I made major efforts to archive the complete Brickfilms.com directory, and even parts of the Bricks in Motion directory. This helped preserve a lot of brickfilms from the 2000-2010 era that would otherwise have been lost.

All the stuff below is mostly a reminder to my future self so I know what I have been (or should be) working on. This is mostly focused on writing what I know: Wiki backend stuff, foreign-language communities (it helps that I can read German and French reasonably well), and whatever shenanigans I'm currently involved in.

Organizing myself
(User:Tehbertl/Sandbox for sandbox stuff burtl)

On the back-end of the site:
 * Create better CSS for the website, including a workable dark mode. Don't want to change the design of the website too much because it's pretty good as-is, but it could really use an update.
 * Take out and avoid in-line styling as much as possible in templates and on pages. Keep form and function (and looks and data) separated!
 * Modernize infoboxes _(this is actually pretty much done!)_
 * Modernize table templates (mostly done)
 * Improve other templates, such as Release Date, Year, ...
 * Modernize navboxes
 * Category:Article management templates
 * See also Category:Templates
 * General housekeeping, I suppose. Tie all the above together with a nice ribbon and such.
 * Phasing out and deprecating obsolete templates, such as Plainlist (I think...)
 * Removing redundant and outdated CSS styling
 * Also write documentation and guidelines on how to use the tools that the templates provide us. This includes rewriting some of the formatting guidelines. Seriously, do people know the power of templates like Language and Created For Logo?

On the front-end:
 * Research and expand articles on (and surrounding) Brickboard and Brick à Brack. Including, but not limited to:
 * Stopmotion-Sonntag (wew, that's going to be a lot of work!)
 * CABBAB (which really needs a revamp)
 * Steinerei
 * Write about Brickfilms.com and Bricks in Motion (website).
 * The BIM Animation Challenges! They need to be included.
 * Do more with new developments in the community, like the presence of communities on Discord and other social media.

Linky stuff

 * Category:Table templates
 * MediaWiki:Fandomdesktop.css
 * https://brickfilms.fandom.com/wiki/Template:Year (Mainly getting these two to work with brickfilms that are from the 90s and before, to get them in the right category and such.)
 * https://brickfilms.fandom.com/wiki/Template:Release_Date (see above)

Pages I need to get my move on with

 * CABBAB (needs an update)
 * Steinerei (mostly good - I think)
 * Brick à Brack (general history, look into contests)
 * Stopmotion-Sonntag (REALLY needs an update)
 * Brickboard (seeing as I'm already doing so much for BàB and BBde...)
 * LEGO IDEAS (could use some formatting work)

All the "series" could do with more simple formatting as well:
 * https://brickfilms.fandom.com/wiki/Special:WhatLinksHere?target=Template%3AInfobox_brickfilm_series
 * LEGO Sport Champions series
 * Ben and Andy series
 * Alex and Derrick series
 * Steve and Dave series
 * Kevin and Mr. Tater series
 * The Unholy Trio series

"Brickfilmer" pages:
 * Mathias Mertens
 * Seza Selen
 * "Knauser"
 * Hans Präßler (all of these are German brickfilmers who do/did a lot for the community)
 * Théo Aron aka Brickfield54, see also Brick à Brack related pages like the Summer Contest 2018!!
