The Ink Pump

Spoiler tag

Shouldn't we, like, RETURN the spoiler tags for splatoon 3 rotm pages?? Greasy Hot Dog (talk) 14:33, 23 September 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

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)Reply[reply]

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)Reply[reply]

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?

Notice templates

Okay, we're all familiar with Notice Templates? But at the moment they are very obtuse.

I propose that:

  1. {{Todo}} notices should be moved to the talkpage
  2. {{Stub}} and {{Construction}} is removed completely, in favour of {{Incomplete}}. {{Draft}} is unaffected.
  3. 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)
  4. 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}}.
  5. 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)Reply[reply]

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)Reply[reply]
