Inkipedia:Current projects/Splatoon 3 Preparations

Splatoon 3 releases in Summer 2022 and we've got a lot to prepare for as huge amounts of content will be dropped for us to collect. GuyPerfect covered some updates that need to be addressed regarding presentation and accessibility. Both are super important for us to improve Inkipedia.

Splatoon 3 Preparations

This is a site-wide project to prepare Inkipedia for the release of Splatoon 3. The wiki in its current state only reflects content from Splatoon and Splatoon 2. With the release of Splatoon 3, a huge part of Inkipedia's articles is going to require renaming, restructuring, or reorganizing.

List of required changes

• Updates - Improve the presentation and accessibility for better visibility of the wiki.
• Checklists - When new info drops, we'll be ready. A simple checklist to update all articles related to it will make the process much easier, faster, and more fluent.
• Update templates - Many templates on the wiki will require updating to allow new content from Splatoon 3. To name a few: StageQuotes and the infobox templates. Templates that are single case scenarios could be merged and generalized. Switch over to Lua if possible.
• Cleanup/Revamp articles - Many pages are stubs or have long and tedious paragraphs. Clean them up and have a unified format for all pages in said topic for a cleaner presentation. Remove repetitive info that appears in other articles. Ensure that the trivia section only contains details that belong there.
• Add missing quotes and names in other Languages - A lot of quotes are missing from the wiki, mostly the shop keepers and Splatfests from other languages. Fill up the missing spaces. Add missing names in other languages.
• Organize files - Files are a big part of the wiki and they should be checked for an appropriate name, existing description, source, and credibility. They should be categorized and used in appropriate articles in the right amount.

Minor extras

• Add missing info on other topics - Manga, Merch, Strategy articles, Game data, etc...
• Add all back and front images of gear (Involves ChessMaster)
• Find/Record Octo Expansion footage
• Import 3D Models from the first game
