Inkipedia:Proposals/Passed/Gear template overhaul

This is a policy proposal.

The policy has not been approved yet.

I've been bothered with the current format of gear templates Template:GearIntroText and Template:GearAbilityAndBrandInfo (especially the latter), since they are wordy (thus hard to read) and could be organized. I'm making a poll to decide which new format Inkipedians want to use. — Exaskliri _(they/them) (talk | contribs) 12:19, 17 March 2024 (UTC)

Start date: 17 March 2024
End date: 7 April 2024

Tables

This format consists of several tables, each of which covers a section (where to get, ability, stars, etc.).

1. I think this one is the most aesthetically pleasing to me. It looks good on mobile as well. one small issue is if your screen is *big* enough, the ability box gets really stretched out vertically since it's in the same row as the larger tables, and doesn't look as nice as it could. still my top pick though Goldendoodle252 (talk) 02:57, 18 March 2024 (UTC)

Bullet points (with some tables)

This format consists of bullet points under two headers, Acquisition (where to get) and Stats/Data (stats of gear item such as ability and stars; please tell which name you prefer when supporting this).

Acquisition The NAME can appear in the following shops (which share the same daily stock) for 9999: Man-o'-Wardrobe Jelly Fresh Ye Olde Cloth Shoppe The NAME can appear in SplatNet 3 for 15000. The NAME can be ordered from another player via Spyke or Murch. Stats/Data The NAME's default primary ability is Ink Saver (Sub). The primary ability can be changed with ability chunks. The NAME's default star power is 1, which can be increased as detailed below. Star power Slots XP Cost from previous (choose one) Shops (once daily) Spyke/Murch 1.00× N/A N/A 1.00× 10000 1 1.03× 10000 1 1.06× 10000 1 1.10× 10000 1 The NAME's brand is SquidForce, which alters the chance of rolling following abilities: Ink Resistance Up (5×) Ink Saver (Main) (0.5×) The NAME requires the following amount of experience to gain abilities or obtain chunks: Slot XP First 2000 Second 8000 Third 14000 Chunks 28000 Once all available slots are filled, collecting 28000 excess XP grants one random ability chunk (subject to brand and drinks). The third slot needs to be unlocked before it can be filled.

1. For Stats/Data I would go with "Data". Heddy (talk) 12:54, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
2. This format is much cleaner than the current equivalent. I prefer the lists of text format's neatness over the loose-looking table formatting. Amazing work! Yoshifan52 (talk) 01:11, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
3. I personally like this the most. Perfect balance of text and tables. The first template could become too cluttered on smaller screens with it being purely tables, and could potentially be overwhelming. I think this one would be the best replacement for the current template. Very nice job!! :] LoTz (talk)

Stay in the current paragraph format

The current format where all info is contained within one paragraph.

Abilities The White Tee comes with Ink Saver (Sub) as the primary ability when purchased from a shop or ordered from Murch. When purchased from SplatNet 3, it comes with any other primary ability normally available to Clothing (with the exception of Ability Doubler). As a 0-star item, the White Tee comes with one additional slot for secondary abilities. The star level may be increased with Super Sea Snails for 1 (first), 1 (second), 5 (third), 10 (fourth), or 20 (fifth) Super Sea Snails per star, or by purchasing additional copies of it from Man-o'-Wardrobe for 10,000 (first), 30,000 (second), 50,000 (third), 100,000 (fourth), or 200,000 (fifth) Cash per star. Increasing the star level to 1 or 2 stars will add a secondary ability slot per level, up to a maximum of three slots. Increasing the star level beyond 2 stars will increase the gear experience gained by a cumulative 3.333…% up to 10% additional experience at 5-star level. Since it is made by the SquidForce gear brand, it has a higher chance of rolling Ink Resistance Up and a lower chance of rolling Ink Saver (Main) to fill its secondary ability slots.

Discussion

• I've fixed the issue User:Goldendoodle252 mentioned. Feel free to revert the edit if you liked it better before. Also, I didn't notice the question on the version I supported — I think I like "Data" as well.
