A page about beta and scrapped concepts for the Splatoon series
So I was reading something that BamBamOh posted on the talk page of the rumors and leaks section, they were talking about how the scrapped weapon, "Bazooka", could be the inkzooka-like weapon in, and I thought that it would be a good idea to make a page about all the beta concepts and scrapped ideas for the series as a whole. There's a lot to cover, and it would help organize all of the random comments about stuff like this. I wanted to know if y'all liked the idea before I went ahead with it. So what do y'all say? WoomyMcBoomy (talk) 19:09, 3 March 2021 (UTC)

Never mind, there's already pages for this stuff. WoomyMcBoomy (talk) 22:04, 3 March 2021 (UTC)

I like the idea, but I don't really have any authority over this. 19:58, 3 March 2021 (UTC)

Trailer
Should there be a page for the trailer? Just wondering. 20:04, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Splatoon 3 covers everything about the trailer. 20:27, 3 March 2021 (UTC)

Got it. 20:38, 3 March 2021 (UTC)

What does the Inkipedia need to work on?
So I've noticed that quite a few pages have had things to do for quite a while, and not many people have really done anything about it. I know, I know, people need to do other things sometimes, and with the recent drop of the Splatoon 3 trailer, everyone's excited and eager to gather as much info about the game as possible. But I couldn't help bringing up the point of what we could do to make sure that people are getting all of the info they need or want. And, bonus question, should we make a poll on this? WoomyMcBoomy (talk) 16:06, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
 * I agree. that was a poll a couple years ago, and i think i could introduce that again. Squid400 (talk) 17:11, 4 March 2021 (UTC)

Thank you! WoomyMcBoomy (talk) 18:48, 4 March 2021 (UTC)

Also, to kind of 1-up what I said about pages with things to do, we have a ton of pages with a to do list. Taking the fact that some pages have nothing to do yet still have a to do list because nobody's gotten around to remove them into consideration, I estimate that we have roughly 95-115 pages with to do lists. Yeah, we need to work on some things. WoomyMcBoomy (talk) 01:11, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

I think that the most things with to-do are the Octo Expansion pages and Stage quotes. The Octo Expansion Stations have the to-do for images and/or translation. The to-do for stages are the translations for the quotes, and the expressions. I'm very slowly somewhat working on images, so we need someone/somepeople for the translations, and someone/somepeople for expressions, maybe even someone else to help me with images. I hope this helps to narrow it down somehow, and I don't mean to sound bossy in any way. CherryAudino75 (talk) 14:05, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

@User:CherryAudino75 You didn't sound bossy at all! Thanks for telling us exactly what we need to work on, though! I'll see what I can do to help ya out, but I'm mostly working on stuff about right now. WoomyMcBoomy (talk) 15:15, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

Weapon of the Day
I was looking at some discussion pages and I saw that someone came up with a weapon of the day idea. Should we go through with it? Timewip2020 (talk) 18:06, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
 * I don't think that will be necessary. Plus, someone would have to go through a random weapon generator every day. 18:16, 4 March 2021 (UTC)

IOTW
Had an idea called inkling of the week, kinda like iotm. Instead of that, i could write a small thing on exeptional inklings helping on inkipedia. i wont be biased, tell me what you think!Squid400 (talk) 18:17, 8 March 2021 (UTC)

I like the idea! I know inkling of the month was a thing, and that seemed pretty cool. Personally, since octolings are now playable, I think it'd be best if we did something like Inkling/Octoling of the week. Plus, I think It'd increase morale among users, inspiring them to go over pages and make the inkipedia the best it can be! WoomyMcBoomy (talk) 20:28, 8 March 2021 (UTC)


 * Every week is just to frequent. If you want to do this, you have to keep it monthly. 16:14, 9 March 2021 (UTC)
 * I would be the one in charge of it, and it would not be voted. i would just look at the recent changes, or fumples edit counter, and see inklings with exeptional help full edits. Squid400 (talk) 16:37, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

Pages for upcoming specials in splatoon 3
I think we should start working on pages for splat3 specials. I'm already working on one for the laser beam thingy. I'll put the page link in this section once the draft is done. WoomyMcBoomy (talk) 20:30, 8 March 2021 (UTC)

I've finished my draft. here it is! Unnamed Laser Beam Special. Let me know what you all think! WoomyMcBoomy (talk) 20:43, 8 March 2021 (UTC)
