Commons:Stroke Order Project/Roadmap

Those interested in joining this effort, please read the graphics guidelines and contribute characters with verified stroke orders, or get your hands on some sources and verify new characters.

Phonemic orthographies

See Commons:Stroke Order Project/Phonemic orthographies for an overview of these.

The Japanese kana (hiragana and katakana) both have full sets of "bw" images and the bopomofo only have three images missing. The hangeul only have a single upload.

High priority tasks:

1. Complete the bopomofo.
2. Complete the hangeul.

Low priority tasks:

1. Add red gradient images and animations.

Han characters

There are three versions of these; the traditional Chinese, simplified Chinese and Japanese. See Commons:Stroke Order Project/Han characters for a discussion about the overlap and distinction between these.

We have progress pages for the Commons:Stroke Order Project/Kangxi radicals, kanji and Commons:Stroke Order Project/Simplified Chinese progress. To contribute to any of these, browse the progress pages for a character with a verified stroke order and upload it. It will then appear in the right spot.

If you are interested in simplified Chinese characters, you should consider beginning with the Kangxi radicals as they provide handy references for the complete characters.

Uploading images

When uploading images, please use Template:SOlicense.

We are currently working on {{SOP license}} to replace {{SOlicense}}.

Fonts to use

Please see the Font page for further information.

Organisation

Lots of work to do here! We need to:

1. Work on the new tempalte at Template:SOP license. This will also introduce some new categories. Discussions should take place at the project talk page.
2. Do something about those out-dated translations of the project main page.
   • I've left notices on the talk page of those who helped translate (except the German page — User:Tauwasser seems to be on top of that for now).
   • Done for the German main page! --Tauwasser (talk) 13:31, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
   • Let's give the others another month. If no-one bites, we should delete.
3. Figure out how to sort the images in Category:Aorder.gif stroke order images, Category:Border.gif stroke order images, Category:Corder.gif stroke order images
   • See discussion on the project talk page.
4. Find a reliable list to base the Commons:Stroke Order Project/Simplified Chinese progress pages on.
5. Replace {{Hanzigallery}} where it is used to list non-hanzi characters (such as for the phonetic lists).
6. Maybe: Get Category:CJK stroke order moved to Category:Stroke Order Project.

Quarantene and/or to delete:

BW

•  Done by Asoer File:金-bw.png — bottom horizontal stroke should come last. --Swift (talk) 10:18, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
• File:北-bw.png (S-H-T-P-SZG) to create. Help: media:北-jbw.png.
•  Done by Pixor File:卖-bw.png, to correct, should be like File:买-bw.png.
• File:动-bw.png (wrong stroke order: see discussion).
• File:曜-jbw.png (wrong stroke order: Should be more like; S-HZ-H-H-HZ-H-H-HZ-H-H-W-S-P-H-S-H-H-H — not H-P).
• File:敢-jbw.png (wrong font?: First stroke should be two seperate ones according to 野ばら社 and one of the online references).

  It is in the font that are suggested, however, the glyph is clearly not right ,HDBZ_7.ttf got it right. --Tauwasser (talk) 08:47, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

• File:害-jbw.png (wrong font?: S-stroke should not cross the last H before the 口.

  It is in the font that are suggested, however, the glyph is clearly not right ,HDBZ_7.ttf got it right. --Tauwasser (talk) 08:47, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

Order> 214 radicals

I just made a stroke order/graph review of radicals from 001 to ~150th, that's quite wonderful. Michelet, there are my comments!

• File:舟-order.gif - trouble: likely torder only ((D-D-H)). Chine/Japan : likely D-H-D (top to bottom). What say the J & S sources ? move need ?
• File:瓦-order.gif - China: correct (H-ST-HZWG-D). Taiwan: need new PNG graph (file:瓦-tkaishu.png, Yug), to create file:瓦-torder.gif (H-S-T-HZWG-D).
  • Ready ! media:瓦-tkaishu.png & media:瓦-tred.png, /!\ transparent bg is it ok ? - by Yug (talk) 07:50, 20 March 2011 (UTC) ;)

100% China

Mix! O.ô, from ?

• File:毋-order.gif - trouble: likely torder only (l'ordre traditionel (P-H)). Chine/Japan : likely H-P (rule: horizontal first). What say the J & S sources ? move need ?
• File:骨-order.gif - trouble: Trad graph(!) + Simplified or J order (namely S-HZ-S-H) = seems aorder.gif or jorder (move need). Japan: may be jorder ? (File:骨-bw.png/File:骨-jbw.png) need source, then move to jorder?. Taiwan: "torder/order" need to create (S-HZ-H-S) for stroke 3-4 (ref). China: "order" starting such 冎 file:骨-aorder.gif (S-HZ-HZ-...). Summary: this one is a quite complexe issue !
• file:來-order.gif, to change to H-S P-D P-D P-N according to Taiwan MoE (here).

Stroke order of 凯

Hi want to have a stroke order of 凯. But I don't have knowledge about create such thing. Help me.

New plan to finish the animated series

I have a plan to finish the animated series: The last objective of the Stroke Order Project was to finish the most commonly used characters. So with that in mind, here is this list, and its status. Completing this list, is now the top priority objective for the Stroke Order Project's animated series.
So now all the help should go into finish that list. The day it is completed, then that day we will be done with the animated series. FanNihongo (talk) 23:27, 9 November 2021 (UTC)
