3D Model Project
So this project has been sitting there for a while, with no progress, possibly because the task is too enormous. Looking at the Team Fortress wiki example provided, this isn't actually a 3D model being rendered, but rather captures of a 3D model at 24 angles. See: https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/File:Spy_RED_3D.jpg. The process of creating these images is documented at the TF2 wiki here: https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Team_Fortress_Wiki:3D_Models. Looks kinda difficult.

Also, something like these templates would need to be implemented: Template:3D Viewer, Template:3D Team Viewer. Can someone who actually knows how wikis work look into that?

I downloaded Splatoon's models and textures from steam workshop and uploaded them here for anyone interested in this project: https://mega.nz/#!lphDiYTB!l3aIsAdPnpS6xCCYN1RNSmVrVv1KW3JQCkFGkSeVmRc

 * See, here's what's had me (and I assume anyone else who would've been doing this) at a wall: I can't figure out how to view the models in the way they look in-game. They're all available and people do a great job making them work with SFM and GMod, but unfortunately they look pretty different in Source. Splatoon's engine is just so particular, I guess. The models are weird in anything else - the lighting and textures are, like, just off enough to look awkward. And I mean... I guess we could use HLMV if there's no alternative, but they'd still look gross and not accurate to the game. Hhhh 😞 --Bzeep!  talk  01:57, 27 May 2016 (UTC)


 * There are decompilers for .mdl files (Source Models). Perhaps if someone had some sort of experience with a 3D tool such as Blender, then maybe they could decompile the models and alter them to fit the style of Splatoon. I fancy having a have a crack at that, but I can't really guarantee anything. Erratic-Fanatic (talk) 13:31, 13 April 2017 (UTC)
 * This is a very old post, but i have a lot of Blender and Splatoon model ripping experience, and yeah it's a pretty known problem replicating the lighting and textures. I'm on a discord server with someone who claims to have figured out the shaders, and maybe they could help out. If all else fails we can intentionally only show the diffuse textures or have a small note on the bottom saying this is now how it appears in game. Another option could be rendering it in game, maybe getting in contact with the developer of Flexlion to make a setup for rendering the 24 angles through that. I'd love to have this project revived Ranidspace (talk) 23:20, 4 November 2023 (UTC)

New project proposal
So I just welcomed somebody to Inkipedia (Apollo) and I thought it would be a great idea to make this a project. Just welcoming the new users to Inkipedia and making sure they get a warm welcome from a human. Go to a new user's talk page, hand-type a welcome, maybe showing them a few templates as well as some other stuff and this project would be set! (Check exaple on Apollo's talk page). What do you guys think?
 * We use welcome to welcome users who have made at least one edit. Luke (talk) 14:08, 11 March 2017 (UTC)

Namespaces and Search Results
If a competitive namespace was created, visitors would not be able to use Inkipedia's search bar to find competitive articles, without first typing "competitive:" in the search bar. Many would not even know they need to type it, and they would assume that Inkipedia simply does not have an article on their favorite team or whatever they're looking for. I vote against this project, unless competitive articles are somehow included in search results without typing "competitive:". Heddy (talk) 01:51, 18 April 2017 (UTC)
 * There's extensions to solve that. MixedNamespaceSearchSuggestions is one that I like. Luke (talk) 14:22, 18 April 2017 (UTC)

new new project proposal
I've seen a lot of pages (mostly template) and they don't explain what they are used for. We need to do something about this. 05:44, 19 March 2019 (UTC)

And while we're at it, we could possibly change all text to 'sample text' or whatever it's corresponding to (a title would have 'title text' and vice versa for body text). 05:59, 19 March 2019 (UTC)

IA3, but I brought it up a while before
So, I was finding a place to put my idea for IA3, and BAM! I found this. Can anyone put the ways they beat IA3 here https://splatoonwiki.org/wiki/User:Octo1/IA3strat if they wanna help thanks, Octo1 (talk) 22:07, 21 November 2020 (UTC)

Are we done?
...with appearance sections? I know all of the normal main, sub, and special weapons have them, but for the hero weapons and stuff like Flooders and Gushers their appearance is listed under 'Description'. soooo... is this project finished? Is there something more we need to do that I missed? Should we change 'Description' to 'Appearance' just for consistency? Avery_TSP ( conversing ) 23:41, 18 February 2022 (UTC)


 * Those articles have facts listed in that section that are not appearance-related, so they shouldn't have their section headers changed from "Description" to "Appearance" without re-organizing the information first. Heddy (talk) 01:05, 19 February 2022 (UTC)
 * ok! I'm on it! Avery_TSP  ( conversing ) 17:08, 19 February 2022 (UTC)

Language change's
Hey,can i help with the translating? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Megarxr (talk • contribs) 20:12, 1 May 2022‎ (UTC)


 * You can always translate as long as it's not google translate and you understand the language you are trying to translate from. SplatonGamer (talk) 22:22, 1 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Also, make sure to put your signature with 4 tildes. SplatonGamer (talk) 22:24, 1 May 2022 (UTC)

Finish the Splatoon 3 Article
I think we should add including all the additions from the Nintendo Direct as a project. OctoAmbush (talk) 16:25, 10 August 2022 (UTC)


 * That is complete, I believe. Lofiguy (talk) 17:15, 14 February 2023 (UTC)

I found a red link
I found a red link in splatoon 3 preparations (someone misspelled Octosquidfisyling?!?!'s name). I tried to fix it but it didn't work. I just joined the site, so I don't know how everything works. Can somebody help?

TL;DR: I tried to change a redlink so that it would work properly, but it didn't work. I need some help. Oceloto999 (talk) 02:03, 20 December 2022 (UTC)


 * I fixed the red link. The user already signed their name so I copied the working link and replaced the red link with it. Pearl 2D.png  Oddlilgoof  ( chat )[[file: Marina 2D.png |19px]] 05:47, 29 December 2022 (UTC)

At a quick glance, it looks like you edited the wrong side of the link. On the left side of the pipe (one of these -> | ) is where you put a link. (like User:Xandpochondria. but if you put a pipe in, then after the pipe you can type something and it comes out with a different name for the link gibberish If would click both links, they go to the same spot, but they have different text. So, long story short, you edited the visual part of the text and not the code part. This still might be confusing, so let me know in my talk page if you have any questions. Hope this helps!

We need editors for strats pages
I have been working on the strategy pages for weapons for a bit on and off, and the user AbundantHero had the great idea to ask folks to start helping. Not sure how this works, but please put if you're interested. Additionally, I'll be putting pages in need on my second sandbox. I'd love help on it, and the pages need contributions. Thanks, everyone. ℂ𝕝𝕒𝕣𝕚𝕟𝕖𝕥.𝕠𝕔𝕥𝕠 ( ℙ𝕣𝕒𝕥𝕥𝕝𝕖 ) 01:04, 11 April 2023 (UTC)


 * I've already started helping! Me and my good friend SyrupOverload have been cooking up some strategy tips, and I've already started helping. You can check out the Octobrush page and see my work! Nice to see that we have a few more people joining. Stay Fresh! 21:00, 7 November 2023 (UTC)
 * I have a long-term personal project to flesh out more mechanical data on some weapons (for example, I made the damage multiplier table on Crab Tank) and I've already thought of some ways it could inadvertently contribute to comp. pages so I'll be sure to touch things up where I can! Driftin Soul (talk) 21:09, 7 November 2023 (UTC)
 * That's very nice! It sounds like a helpful project! I was wondering what weapons you are planning on contributing though, because I may be able to help depending on the weapon. Stay Fresh! 21:13, 7 November 2023 (UTC)
