To Do
- Consider recording all splatfest dance animations & general player npc animations and compiling them on the wiki. this is probably only possible for splatoon 2 with hacking. we still have time for doing it legit with s3 though !
Video advertisements and graphics [x]
Format
- Merge stage sections with hub sections, making a single table with a location column
- While this will lead to a lot of repetition of "Lobby/Hub" for Splatoon 3, a lot of advertisements found in Splatoon 2's stages can also be found in the hub. Having separate tables for hub ads & stage ads doesn't seem like it'll work for Splatoon 2, and possibly won't work for Splatoon 3 in the future. Regardless, this should be done for consistency.
- Rework/fix tables
- Currently, the tables don't look great on mobile. This is because the column widths are percentages as the default widths make the description as wide as possible and the outer columns very thin. This should be fixed.
Content
- Add Splatoon 1 ads/graphics
- Note: Will have to be recorded in-game as converting them to video using their frames is much more difficult than with Splatoon 2 and Splatoon 3.
- Add Splatoon 2 ads/graphics
- Add 'First seen' information to Splatoon 2 tables
- This will be tricky, but you may find information in the trivia sections of some articles, as well as in the version pages
Things to consider
- Renaming the page
- 'Video advertisements and graphics' is a bit of a mouthful and is somewhat vague. Under this definition, the animations that appear on Splatoon 3's lobby tower could count, alongside the videos that play on the Squid Sisters' Splatfest trucks. The 'graphics' part was added due to non-advertising videos being included (the animations above the lobby entrance in S2, and now fest animations) but maybe "animation" would be better? but "video animation" doesn't sound great. Something like "Video advertisements and animations"? "In-game commercials and animations"? First one is basically just as vague, and think I prefer 'advertisement' over commercial, but that may just be me. Anyway, I'm still thinking about it.
Incomplete sources
This is mostly useless so I'm probably never going to go back and do this again, but if you search "Source=ingame" or "Source=in game" on here you will find over 150 files with like "in-game screenshot" or "in-game file" as their source. im guessing these all come from new users, misinformed users or before the file template was a thing. The plan is to stick a {{Incomplete Source}} on all of them, then ask the uploaders in question what their source was where thats sensible (e.g. a screenshot from 2022 at the latest and uploaded by an active user). My eyes hurt from staring at a computer all day though so I Will Not Be Doing That

Promotional characters, Hub NPCs and Miis
The promotional player characters of Splatoon (2015) [1], as well as many hub NPCs across the series, seem to be named after Miis. While these are sort of documented on the FANDOM wiki, they arent documented on MiiWiki. The FANDOM wiki has good comments but it's not good for sourcing (and MiiWiki is a NIWA partner so we NEED to use that), so in order for me to talk about the Miis the Splatoon promotional characters are named after, I need to make the pages for these Miis (at least Kaori and John cmonnnn). I don't have a Wii U so it will be a bit hard to document the important ones (Kaori, John, Rui.. they are all from Wii Sports Club on the Wii U) & I have a Terrible way with words but I will figure something out.
The ones needed:
| Name | Page created? |
|---|---|
| Kaori | ☐ |
| John | ☐ |
| Mizuho | ☐ |
| Yuriko | ☐ |
| Laura | ☐ |
| Rui | ☐ |
| Yuya | ☐ |
| Pit | ☐ |

Promotional Characters in the Splatoon series intro desc
Promotional characters refer to the characters used in promotional material that are meant to stand in for a player. Typically, these are the Inklings and Octolings present on the box art, amiibo and crossovers. [talk about how there is a main duo and a main character in every game + oe bc idk how to do that right now. also talk about how theres a main 8 characters (oe messes with things here but we'll figure it out)] [talk about inconsistency and how they are not actual characters like the idols but are stand ins for players and can act as a representation of their respective games].
Lyric Colours
This would be cool but I don't know how templates work 🐟 also probably not readable enough </3

| okay nevermind, this stuff falls apart when you have more than 1 character set per line. also probably not screenreader friendly with it being across multiple lines (and screenreaders read HORIZONTALLY, not vertically) |

Three dummies found in Tentakeel Outpost by Cuttlefish Cabin, depicting different types of octo troopers.

The text on the Twintacle Octotrooper's dummy is backwards. |
