User:Spleet
From Inkipedia, the Splatoon wiki
Italian, female. Known as Wallowigi in the Mario wiki. C2 level in English proficiency, and moderate knowledge of Japanese cultural aspects. Mainly adding Italian names and translating, but I also update and give descriptions, fix typos, add links among many other things. Kind of a do-it-all. I am a huge professionality-nerd, so please pardon me for being a sort of gunnery sergeant Hartmann.
My utopistical goals for Inkipedia:
- Turn it into a wiki as good as the Mario Wiki, which in my opinion should be the standard for game wikis.
- Remove strongly opinionated stuff out of user pages. I know, there's nothing inherently wrong in preferring idol A to idol B, or shipping idols C and D because they once shared a look, but that's not stuff to discuss in formal environments such as wikis, and does not help or prove itself useful to the wiki's actual content (instead, it often is a hindrance, with edits from some users being highly POV-ridden and spreading misinformation). Not to mention content targeting other users and groups. Again, that's my opinion. Just look at the Mario Wiki userpages, again! That's what I strive for.
- "Idol wins Splatfest"->"Team represented by Idol wins Splatfest".
- A section dedicated to BJAODN (Bad Jokes and Other Nonsense), like Wikipedia and the Mario Wiki. Having a good laugh during work is nice.
- Not using sources from Twitter that are not official. I feel it promotes said Twitter users, which should not have any due weight regarding the documentation of official material (and often draw controversies which have no base...)
- Have a list of frequently misused words in the Manual of Style section ("lore" being the most butchered and misunderstood).
- Not treating certain users like they're God. Sadly, I see a lot of favoritism in this wiki's environment.
- ...Define how much trivia is too much? I often see the notice on pages that have quite a normal amount, or don't see it on pages that have trivia sections longer than the rest of the content.
- Have the wiki have an official, indexed forum instead of a Discord, and move wiki-related discussions to the Ink Pump.
