Infoboxes

Hi! I've noticed you adding infoboxes to some Fresh Season 2024 gear pages, which is much appreciated. However, the way you've positioned and formatted those infoboxes is inconsistent with other pages so I wanted to offer some tips.

For starters, while infoboxes go at the top of the page, you don't actually have to position them there in your edit. The "infobox gobbler" template at the top of the page automatically takes infoboxes from anywhere on the page and positions them correctly. Because of this, it's best to place the infobox template itself under the heading for the game in question (in this case, Splatoon 3).

Also, the way you've been adding infoboxes without line breaks makes them hard to parse and edit in the future. I'd recommend looking at how the Splatoon 2 infoboxes are typically laid out in the source editor, with each entry field on a separate line for ease of readability. For many of these returning gear pages, you can even copy and paste the entire Splatoon 2 section and edit each field to match the updated Splatoon 3 info instead of building the infobox from scratch (just make sure to edit the parts that have changed, like changing Splatoon 2 to Splatoon 3, Splatnet 2 to Splatnet 3, update the star count, make sure the ability is correct in cases where it changed between games, and edit the season and version when it was introduced).

I hope these tips not only make your edits better but also easier for you as well! Lyichir (talk) 15:14, 12 March 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hello, I am sorry for the inconsistencies and errors, I am simply a new user trying to find my way around this website. I will try to do better in the future, but the change might take a while.
