Inkipedia talk:Inkling of the Month

Delay December IotM?
If we use the regular schedule, voting will only go on for just over three days. So, I propose the following: The January voting will end on the usual day, so we'll still have two weeks for next month's nominations and voting each while giving a better amount of time to vote in December. We'll need a decision quickly for obvious reasons, so any thoughts? 02:12, 28 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Delay the end of the December voting and the start of January nominations to January 3rd, giving a full week for voting
 * Delay the start of January voting to January 17th
 * Bump. 01:20, 29 December 2015 (UTC)
 * If we don't come to a decision by midnight GMT on New Year's, we'll just go with the regular times. 01:15, 31 December 2015 (UTC)

Nominators and Voting
I thought that nominators were not allowed to vote on their nominees based on their nomination really counts as an automatic vote. However we seem to have allowed nominators to vote this time. We should finalise a rule about this. 10:41, 18 March 2016 (UTC)
 * I think nominators have been voting on their nominee for a while, but I suppose it's pretty pointless so after this month it could be made a rule. Inkling luke.pngInkling talk.png 11:22, 18 March 2016 (UTC)

Should we add unnoticed people to ItoM?
So when I mean unnoticed, I mean:
 * People who have contributed 35+ times
 * At least 33 mainspace edits
 * Their user page and user talk page count as 2
 * Any subpages from the user page count only as # (where # = number of user subpages))


 * Their account was created in the past month
 * Give or take 7 days

 * I don't really understand the point of this. Inkling luke.png Inkling talk.png 20:42, 9 March 2019 (UTC)
 * It's just for the awareness how many unnoticed users there are. It's optional, anyways. Inkling project paintball font eleven23.png Inkling project paintball font eleven23 talk.png eleven23 splatoon font 3.png 20:47, 9 March 2019 (UTC)

 * It seems like there isn't enough interest at keeping this procedure running, So it is currently closed. ShaharSig2.pngShaharSigtalk2.png 14:16, 24 March 2020 (UTC)

Lemme reviv ded page
I seem to often revive dead pages. I can see this page being maybe useful. We should reward hardworking editors.-- 23:35, 10 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I think that personal thank you messages are a better way of letting someone know you appreciate their efforts. Like, if you see someone working hard, write a thank you message on their talk page. Heddy (talk) 21:10, 11 January 2021 (UTC)

Long time...
Uh, should we start doing this again? I dunno, I just thought the concept sounded fun, and we haven't don't this for like, 5 years now. Just a thought. ArivakiVA  17:54, 21 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Seems like we should. I didn't even know this page existed but after taking a look, it seems like a good idea. Might motivate people to edit more which is good especially with the onslaught of new content flooding in from Nintendo. Woomy?

 * Yeah! Good idea!  ArivakiVA    S2_Gear_Headgear_Golden_Toothpick.png JPTGoldDynamoRoller.png #3a0ccd talk #3a0ccd 18:52, 21 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Also I meant 'done' not 'don't'. Jeez, auto-correct hates me.  ArivakiVA    S2_Gear_Headgear_Golden_Toothpick.png JPTGoldDynamoRoller.png #3a0ccd talk #3a0ccd 18:52, 21 November 2022 (UTC)
 * I believe it would be a good idea but I'm not sure we would have enough people on board. That's just me, and it could be subject to change so ignore me. Xan S3_Badge_Toni_Kensa_100.png 19:05, 21 November 2022 (UTC)
 * It's okay! Thanks for the support! :)  ArivakiVA    S2_Gear_Headgear_Golden_Toothpick.png JPTGoldDynamoRoller.png #3a0ccd talk #3a0ccd 19:05, 21 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Update: Do you guys think I should directly suggest this to an admin? I might need more votes towards doing this again though.  ArivakiVA    S2_Gear_Headgear_Golden_Toothpick.png JPTGoldDynamoRoller.png S3 Badge Classic Squiffer 5.png #3a0ccd talk #3a0ccd 19:06, 28 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Possibly. I think it would be great, but I'd like more people on board. Maybe a vote? Just lil ol' me's recommendation. Xan  S2_Brand_Toni_Kensa.png 02:14, 29 November 2022 (UTC)
 * I agree with @Woomy?, this should help incentivize users to help Inkipedia add the massive amounts of content Nintendo is dumping into the game to the wiki. 02:33, 29 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Who else thinks we should have a poll for reviving IOTM? 17:39, 26 February 2023 (UTC)
 * I think we should make a vote but we have to ask an admin (boo) *aggressive introverting* Marie dance.gif S3 Badge Cuttlefish.png Mariefan 23:27, 18 June 2023 (UTC)

 * Brought it up with staff. Updates to follow. Trig - 23:36, 18 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks Trig! *aggressive introverting* Marie dance.gif S3 Badge Cuttlefish.png Mariefan 23:14, 20 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Updates slow?... Wave (talk) 17:50, 31 August 2023 (UTC)
 * oops, forgot to respond to it here. Long story short, the staff have tentatively decided to not do anything with Inkling of the Month at this time. A few ideas were brought up on how to possibly reformat the system, but nothing was terribly concrete and the interest was low. The main concern was that users would rush to this as a form of popularity contest instead of working on making good, thorough contributions. It is also generally just a lower priority than other certain site functions at the moment, like handling audio use or staff management. TLDR: It will likely not be revived, or at least not for a significant period of time. You can always thank a user for their contributions using the Barnsquids system.
