Yeah, JS can do fancy things, but for wiki layout editing almost everything can be done through CSS. Since your layout is done, I'd try to focus on content:
 * Make articles: they really only need to be short at first, it may sound weird but quantity > quality in the early stages.
 * Make big categories: 1 category called something like "Content" that's divided into items, characters, games, NPCs, locations. Look at tl.wikipedia if you need inspiration
 * Don't make too many: things like "Skyrim: locations" might be a bit redundant since if you divide categories per game, you might only have 1-3 articles per category which defeats the idea of categories, plus people will usually recognize which ones are from which game (and if they don't, the article itself usually mentions it in the first line).
 * Categories need categories too! So make sure when creating "Category:Characters" you put that category in "Category:Content" too.
 * Regarding templates
 * Infoboxes are useful! However, they're also quite complicated code. So I'd advise only making those when you have a couple dozen pages, and asking help from me/Flightmare/other to make a version that's simpler than EN because most likely you won't need to be as detailled on TL.
 * w:c:templates might have some useful templates that you can just import to your wiki and translate (just mention that you got them from wikia templates in the edit summary).
 * we can always make templates together whenever you need something ♪ like "stub" etc. that way, you'll know how it works too; just let me know whenever you need stuff like that.
 * Making project pages
 * w:c:tl.elderscrolls:project:balita (or something) — news for your wiki, like w:c:hvetshran:project:news: when your wiki was founded, reaches X pages, gets new admins or important changes, ...
 * w:c:tl.elderscrolls:project:patakaran (or something) — some basic rules for your wiki, you can still build this up overtime
 * w:c:tl.elderscrolls:project:pagsasalin (or something) — a list of translations, like w:c:nl.elderscrolls:project:vertalingen, where you add the English and Tagalog equivalent of the same term, to maintain consistency.
 * For customizing messages, see Help:System messages. All your system messages can be found at w:c:tl.elderscrolls:special:allmessages but because of the MediaWiki block not all of them can be edited. For the welcome message, type in "welcome" in the search bar.

I just want to say that articles go before templates or anything else. You need templates for articles, not the other way around, so just start working on articles and then make/add the templates you need when you need them.

Final note: if you check out Spotlight:Requests, you'll see that the wordmark of this wiki changes to "International spotlights". That's what this wiki is also for. It means that once your wiki has 50+ articles, it'll be eligible for a spotlight :) which'll be shown to all Tagalog users! I think that's definitely something to work towards as a first goal.

And I don't mind being pestered ♪ it's my fault anyway.
