| ==Splatfest Images==
| |
| I think it would be good if someone can get images from the night stages and inkopolis plaza as well as the squid sisters for their appearances during splatfest. I don't know how to get the pictures, so if someone could, that'd be great.[[User:Vernanonix|Vernanonix]] ([[User talk:Vernanonix|talk]]) 15:10, 4 July 2015 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| :The easiest way to capture pictures is to press the Home button when something you want to capture is on either the TV or gamepad, then use the Internet browser and upload the picture to a image-hosting site of your choice. I use Google Drive. I captured images of the three stages and took like two pics of the plaza... I uploaded one of them and can upload the other one now I suppose. --[[user:Sunmarsh|sunmarsh]] '''<small><span style="font-variant:small-caps">([[User_talk:Sunmarsh|<span style="color:#7B7B7B">talk</span>]])</span></small>''' 17:21, 5 July 2015 (UTC)

| ==IRC Channel==
| |
| Hi everyone! First of all, I'd like to congratulate Inkipedia on becoming a member of NIWA. It's great to see that organization grow and have another wiki as an addition. A lot of the NIWA wikis have IRC channels - for those who don't know, an IRC channel is a chatroom where members can communicate real-time, similar to the Skype setup you guys have now. The reason why I'm suggesting an IRC channel is because it's an option that has a lot more features and allows the Inkipedia staff more control over what happens; there's also no need for an invite process, as a chatbox can be put up on one of the pages here and any Inkipedia visitor can join. If an invite system is necessary, there are options for that as well in an IRC channel. The other great thing is that IRC channels are located on a network - I run an IRC network called StarNet, which is already a home to some Nintendo-related websites (namely, the Super Mario Bros. X project). Users from multiple channels on a network can join other channels and communicate with eachother, which allows every community involved to gain new members and grow. Just thought I'd post this here in case you all are interested. Feel free to drop me a line on my talk page, send me an email, or [http://irc.stardustfields.net/ visit the StarNet website]. (edit: I totally forgot to sign this, sorry) - [[User:Zarpho|Zarpho]] ([[User talk:Zarpho|talk]]) 22:19, 4 July 2015 (UTC)
| |
| :I think this is a good idea. The reason we currently use Skype is because it's easy for users who aren't currently in the chat to read it once they get on and catch up with everything that's been discussed. What does everyone else think? - <span style="background-color:darkgreen; border:8px ridge lightgreen;">'''[[User:ShrimpPin|<span style="color:white;">Shrimp</span>]][[User talk:ShrimpPin|<span style="color:black;">Pin</span>]]'''</span> 22:11, 4 July 2015 (UTC)

| |
| :people still use IRC? :P Honestly, while I'm sure it would have its benefits, I feel like it's a thing most people aren't familiar with (due to the fact it is a bit dated) and is just an additional thing to learn how to use to be able to participate in the community discussion – which I do think may dissuade people. I don't have an IRC client installed and wouldn't want to get one just for Inkipedia – and keeping a mibbit-powered tab open at all times isn't really practical either. I like how on Skype we can see past messages to catch up on what we missed, too! –[[User:Eli|Eli]] ([[User talk:Eli|talk]]) 03:28, 6 July 2015 (UTC)
| |
| ::While IRC does have a lot more features, some of which that can take longer to learn how to use, in terms of jumping in and chatting it's actually as simple as opening a page and choosing a nickname, and it doesn't involve the invite process or installing Skype. Clients like IRCCloud allow viewing scrollback. [[User:Zarpho|Zarpho]] ([[User talk:Zarpho|talk]]) 01:26, 7 July 2015 (UTC)
| |
| ::: Fully support IRC - the API is open unlike Skype which is Microsoft proprietary and needs developer setup. That means programmers can have bots that can play games or report useful information. Also has a much more intuitive permissions system. And we can do a public link and have people moderate the chat. I'd be willing to set this up / register. Big thumbs up from me. {{User:Kjhf/Sig}} 23:01, 10 July 2015 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| :::: Yeah, I support IRC too. Like Eli said, I don't want to grab one software so I can use it for one thing. (in my case Skype) It's way faster to join a chat and way less of a resource hog among other things compared to Skype. (depending on the client of course) If people don't want to use IRC, we could look into Slack too, it's closer to Skype and registering is easy.

| Do you guys think there's any merit in trying to decipher the writing written around the plaza?

| ==Inkipedia Patreon/Shop?==
| |
| In order to help cover hosting costs and any future prizes we're planning (wink), it would be nice to have an Inkipedia bank to draw funds from. Ideas have been thrown around including a Patreon for people to directly donate to, and a shop with unique Inkipedia merchandise. What are y'all's thoughts? - <span style="background-color:darkgreen; border:8px ridge lightgreen;">'''[[User:ShrimpPin|<span style="color:white;">Shrimp</span>]][[User talk:ShrimpPin|<span style="color:black;">Pin</span>]]'''</span> 00:07, 7 July 2015 (UTC)

| ::Which was what my issue was. Even the Inkipedia logo might run into issues due to the squid potentially being a trademark of Nintendo.

| | |
| :If possible I'd prefer donating to a paypal account to avoid fees associated with a middleman website.

| ==Feature Requests==
| |
| Hey, so while using this wiki, I notice two things:
| |
| | |
| 1. [[Special:Upload]] has no option to upload images by URL.
| |
| | |
| 2. [[Special:RecentChanges]] has no Who's Online feature so you can see what users are online.
| |
| | |
| Could it be possible to implement these to this wiki? Since I'm so familiar with the other NIWA Wiki I first came from (MarioWiki) that has both of these features, I don't think it'd be too out of the question to add. Unless this wiki runs on a different version of MediaWiki or something, I think this could be arranged. [[User:UltraInkling3000|UltraInkling3000]] ([[User talk:UltraInkling3000|talk]]) 13:26, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
| |
| :Upload by URL is a bit traitorous, as people can upload other's work without giving it a second thought, given how easy it is. I'll speak to [[User:Prod|Prod]] about it. The list of people who are online is a good idea, yes. I wonder why it's not there by default. – '''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>''' 08:03, 9 July 2015 (UTC)
| |
| ::#Upload by url is currently sysop only. It's up to the community if that needs to be changed.
| |
| ::#From a quick check of the code to Extension:WhosOnline, it does a database commit on every view, and users are marked "online" for an hour after a page view. This seems like it would cause quite a bit of load on the database. Based on analytics, the average user stays on the website for about 5 minutes. How much is this feature used?
| |
| ::-- [[User:Prod|Prod]] ([[User talk:Prod|talk]]) 02:49, 10 July 2015 (UTC)
| |
| :::If the online user list puts a large strain on the server, I don't think it's necessary enough to implement. I suppose it's useful to see who's online in the event we want to contact someone (particularly admins), but I don't think that's too much in demand. Also concerned about users' privacy, if someone doesn't want to be seen as online. <b>~<i>[[User:SuperHamster|<font color="#07517C">Super</font>]]</i>[[User:SuperHamster|<font color="#6FA23B">Hamster</font>]]</b> <small>[[User talk:SuperHamster|Talk]]</small> 02:58, 10 July 2015 (UTC)

| |
| Could [[Stage|Stages]] be added to the front page navigation so its easier to find? I don't like digging thorugh a bunch of articles to find the index for them. [[User:redactedjpg|redactedjpg]]

| |
| | |
| ==Revised Ink Colors==
| |
| I wanted to provide some colors that are a bit more accurate to the Ink colors used in ''Splatoon'' on the Wiki, as shown [[Template talk:Ink|here]].
| |
| Also, Redirect pages don't seem to work properly. [[User:Superjustinbros|Superjustinbros]] ([[User talk:Superjustinbros|talk]]) 14:30, 10 July 2015 (UTC)
| |
| :On the bit about redirects, here is how the [http://splatoonwiki.org/w/index.php?title=Ink_Strike&type=revision&diff=16140&oldid=15904 redirect should be formatted to work]. The page that users will be directed to needs brackets around it and both it and the redirect code needs to be connected with a colon. --[[User:SgvSth|SgvSth]] ([[User talk:SgvSth|talk]]) 14:47, 10 July 2015 (UTC)
| |
| :: OCD note - the colon is not necessary but if you're going to use it, it should go ''inside'' the link. The colon denotes a namespace (Template:, File: etc.) and the main namespace (Main) is signified as :''Article''. For example, <nowiki>[[Main Page]]s</nowiki> --> [[Main Page]] and <nowiki>[[:Main Page]]</nowiki> --> [[:Main Page]] are the same but :[[Main Page]] is "append a colon to the front of the link that goes to the Main Page".
| |
| :: The correct way to form a redirect is
| |
| :: <code><nowiki>#REDIRECT [[</nowiki>''Target''<nowiki>]]</nowiki></code> or
| |
| :: <code><nowiki>#REDIRECT [[:</nowiki>''Target''<nowiki>]]</nowiki></code> or
| |
| :: <code><nowiki>#REDIRECT [[</nowiki>''Target#Section''<nowiki>]]</nowiki></code>
| |
| :: Ink colours look good! {{User:Kjhf/Sig}} 18:34, 10 July 2015 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| ==Skype group link==
| |
| I know this might be obsolete soon with the [[#IRC Channel|IRC channel]] proposal going through, but I think that the [[Inkipedia:Skype|Skype group]] should at least have a <code>skype:?chat&blob=</code> link to allow people to join the chat, instead of having users request to be added instead. It would be a safer then waiting for a sysop to remove usernames and summaries from the edit history. Also, it would be more convenient. In the Skype group settings, checking the "Allow people to join this group" box gives the group a link. Using that link in Skype allows a user to join the group. <span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue;">[[User:InkTempest|InkTempest]] ([[User talk:InkTempest|talk]])</span> 02:35, 11 July 2015 (UTC)
| |
| :You're saying it's safer, but it's quite the opposite, it's quicker but you could get anons who could click it. [[File:Inkling luke.png|50px|link=User:Lukey140701]] ([[File:Inkling talk.png|50px|link=User talk:Lukey140701]]) 13:06, 11 July 2015 (UTC)

| :I thought anons were supposed to be included? Anyway, I think anons could just join IRC chat anyway so nothing really changes. <span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue;">[[User:InkTempest|InkTempest]] ([[User talk:InkTempest|talk]])</span> 18:05, 11 July 2015 (UTC)

One IRC client will give you access to hundreds of networks with tens of thousands of people; I could give a list of just the Nintendo-related websites that use IRC and it'd be too long!

| ==Image Categorization==
| |
| Would implementation of some kind of category tree make images easier to find? Right now everything is in one lump category and trying to look for a particular image without the filename is a pain (for example, I had to go through the [[:Category:Fairuse|fairuse category]] page by page looking for [[:File:WiiU_Splatoon_char_09.png|this image]], which I assumed had been uploaded, for the [[Super Jump]] page). Other trees I've seen include divisions by type and game, for example Category:Splatoon Artwork and Category:Splatoon Screenshots. (Of course, the division by game is superfluous right now since there's only one game in the series, but when sequels arrive it would be handy.) Any thoughts? It would be labor intensive, but potentially useful. [[User:Embyr 75|Embyr 75]] ([[User talk:Embyr 75|talk]]) 00:10, 20 July 2015 (UTC)

| ==Policy and minor infobox change==
| |
| I think the [[Inkipedia:Policy/Rumors_and_leaks|leaks policy]] should be updated to match [[Inkipedia:Ink_Pump/Archives/2#Leaked_Information|this]].
| |
| | |
| Also, I posted the following [[Template_talk:Infobox_mode|here]] a while back, but since, I assume, the page gets infrequent visits, here it is again:
| |
| | |
| The template is locked, so I'm asking for an admin to add "Instructions" under "Ranked" here. This would be for the brief descriptions of how to play the mode that appear before a match starts. For mode categories (including [[Regular Battle]] and [[Ranked Battle]]), the brief descriptions appear in [[Inkopolis Tower]] (mode selection screen) before selecting a mode, underneath the category.
| |
| | |
| Examples of the brief descriptions:
| |
| * [[Turf War]] - Ink the most turf to win!
| |
| * [[Regular Battle]] - Play [[Turf War]] with players all over the world.
| |
| * [[Splat Zones]] - Control the zones!
| |
| * [[Ranked Battle]] - Face off in more competitive battles.
