Inkipedia:Proposals/Failed/Audio Use Policy

This is a policy proposal.

The policy has not been approved yet.

It would behoove you to read the full policy draft here and prior conversations on the subject here.

This proposal seeks to end the very, very long discussion about audio use on Inkipedia. The highlights of the proposal are as follows:

• Do not host the OST in its complete entirety, only using up to 30 seconds for samples for music and audio.
• Audio must be taken directly from the game and not other sources like YouTube or Splatune.
• New audio must be in the MP3 format under specific quality guidelines (128kbps).
• Audio files must have accompanying text to see use.
• Files not meeting the policy (including old, non-truncated versions of files) will be deleted.

Oppose

1. My stance has not changed. Slate Talk Contribs 15:46, 23 December 2023 (UTC)
2. My opinion still stands as strong as ever. It’s not changing.
3. I still stand by most of the points I made in the previous proposal on this topic. I would also like to add that a lot of the pages for the OST, especially for Splatoon 3, are stubs/extremely short. Unless there are people who will be committed to not only creating the new audio files, but also expanding these pages, I find this to overall be a negative change for the wiki. kris(talk) 16:00, 23 December 2023 (UTC)
