Shouldn't we, like, RETURN the spoiler tags for splatoon 3 rotm pages?? Greasy Hot Dog (talk) 14:33, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
Bytes
Im new to this wiki so i was wondering what these "Bytes" we have are? Im seeing them next to peoples names on the edit history tab and im not sure what they are nor is there any information online, so if someone could tell me what they are then that would be great Barracuda (talk) 19:39, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
- Bytes are an amount of data. On Inkipedia it roughly means the amount of characters (letters and symbols) in the page. The one in the brackets to the right of it with either a + or - is the difference in the amount of bytes in the revision compared to the previous one. GX_64 (talk) 02:31, 24 September 2022 (UTC)
Huge weapon images
I've noticed that the S3 weapon images in the infoboxes are way too big and most don't even fit in the infobox. Is this just me or does this happen to everyone? This occurs on a lot of devices. Also, the REEF-LUX 450 infobox image is the 2D image, not the 3D image the other weapons have. The 3D image exists, I just don't know the file name. Could someone tell me what its filename is? Thanks,

Notice templates
Okay, we're all familiar with Notice Templates? But at the moment they are very obtuse.
I propose that:
- {{Todo}} notices should be moved to the talkpage
- {{Stub}} and {{Construction}} is removed completely, in favour of {{Incomplete}}. {{Draft}} is unaffected.
- Notice templates that refer to a section only, should go in that section and not at the top/bottom of the article (e.g. 0 shell)
- Editor notice templates that the reader doesn't care about or "get in the way" should go at the bottom of the page. These include {{Disambig}}, {{Incomplete}}, {{Images}}, {{Move}}, {{Protect}}, {{Delete}}.
- Notice templates that provide contextual information that the reader would care about should remain at the top, or in the relevant section. These include {{Archive}}, {{Conjecture}}, {{Future}}, {{Leak}}, {{Proposal}}, {{Real}}, {{Unofficial}}.
Love to hear thoughts on this. Slate Talk Contribs 16:51, 25 September 2022 (UTC)
- I don't object to the templates themselves so much, but I've definitely seen them being used irresponsibly the majority of the time. Someone thinks more content is needed on a page or section, so they stick a {{todo}} or something on it and never touch the page ever again. Notice templates are not for assigning homework to other editors. Consequently, we'll probably want to do an audit of all of their current uses and clean those up before deciding what needs to change going forward. --GuyPerfect (talk) 17:01, 25 September 2022 (UTC)
- I think instead of moving some of these somewhere they would be noticed even less, they could be reworked to take up less space. Right now the borders and images are pretty big in like, all of them, which probably makes it feel even more like they're "getting in the way".
- Taking some examples from another wiki I'm active on, see how their disambig template is just that one line of text + separating line at the top? In general, a lot of their templates that are made to be inserted into pages or sections are much thinner than Ikipedia's: see stub or incomplete. I'm not going to link them all (though I could if asked) because I think I'm being clear enough already: imo, completely redesigning some of these could be more helpful (they're still seen, but are less of a bother if you don't care at the moment).
- But even apart from visibility, I'm just not sure about moving stuff to the bottom. Like, disambig pages aren't usually that big and that template is almost redundant anyway so I wouldn't really mind it that for one. But if the point of {{Move}} and {{Delete}} are to start discussion about said move or deletion, I fear moving them to the bottom is going to do the opposite of helping.
