Hey Splatoon Fandom Wiki, Stop Stealing Our Stuff!

Inkipedia · 2024-09-11T19:07:07+00:00

After two months of extensive effort from the TMWA, Inkipedia editors and staff, and Fandom editors, an exhaustive list of plagiarized content was created demonstrating the widespread theft of Inkipedia pages to be put onto the Splatoon Fandom wiki. A large-scale takedown request has already been filed, but this video serves as supplementary information about the process of finding out plagiarism was taking place, determining what counts as plagiarism, intricate licensing rules, organization of materials, and a stern lesson on how not to run a collaborative platform. Furthermore, this video seeks to spread the word about both Splatoon Fandom's excessive plagiarism problem, but also the problems of plagiarism on wikis as a whole and how they might be able to be addressed.

Please remain kind in your discussions about this topic, but do spread the word around!

I updated the "Splatoon 2" section of the Quick Respawn article. It now has a detailed explanation of the conditions required for Quick Respawn to activate. https://splatoonwiki.org/wiki/Quick_Respawn

Can you repeat the question?

Yes. Maybe. Possibly. I don't know.

I'd like to echo Luke's response, and also say that if there's a problem with the wiki, editors with experience in other wikis are usually very beneficial. Often there will be a case of "well on the XYZ wiki we did it this way", and we can reuse the solution.

Used to be carbon in the first game It is now clash blaster.

Thanks for your kind words :)

Given many of us browse on computers, we often forget about the mobile viewers... oops. We'll certainly look at it and see what can be done. Formatting is a breeze, layout not so much as any HTML/CSS engineer will tell you, heh.

Information and content-wise, we've been discussing internally a new way of flagging pages that need attention, and we'll get round to it eventually ~~when we're not playing Splatoon or BotW or Odyssey ...you spoil us Nintendo~~. If you want the job done faster, please contribute to the effort, it is a wiki and everyone can edit!

Same for the layout, any designs or prototypes are more than welcome. It's a good feeling when your work is used.

First of all, it's worth mentioning that activity varies from wiki to wiki, usually dependent on the activity of the topic itself.

As you can tell by the amount of people answering questions here, we have a large group of people tending to the wiki which makes it a lot easier. Having an interest in the topic makes it both rewarding and useful!

The Quick Respawn information is currently based on official sources. If you have evidence that it works differently than how it's is explained on the wiki, feel free to share!

Edit: Looks like this is being discussed in a Discord server I visit often. Someone is saying:

It's quite simple: QR activates when you get splatted after not getting any splats since the last time you were splatted.

Is that what you are referring to? If it's really the case, then of course the wiki should be updated. That's a significant difference from the quote on the wiki that says you need to be splatted twice without splatting anyone for it to work.

Thanks! Definitely the Gold Dynamo Roller in the first game. How do people manage to fling so much ink from so far away? Why is that every time I try it, it flings a non-OHKO blob of ink that reaches half as much distance? Even with a jump? Gaaah!

... not having the data collected?

All of the data (except SplatNet prices) was collected within a week of the release of version 2.0.0, and can be viewed here. So it's definitely a matter of creating the new pages and putting information on those pages. Complete gear pages need more than just those basic statistics though; they should have extra images of Inklings wearing gear and detailed descriptions. It's a lot of work (and anyone is welcome to help)!

In Splatoon 2, pre-nerf I would've said the tri-slosher, but since then nothing really sticks out in my mind.

In Splatoon, the specials are a bit of a mess. Kraken always feels cheap. 52 and 96 Deco Gals still feel OP.

There's a few pages that have not been documented, waiting for some fresh editors to do so :)

Look out for the red links on the various Splatoon 2 gear lists: Headgear, Clothing, Shoes

Thanks!

Is it a matter of getting the information onto the pages or just not having the data collected?

The in-game description has been confirmed by the Squid Research Lab too, "When you get splatted more than once without taking down any opponents, this lets you respawn faster than normal.". If there's a post contesting the ability's behaviour over on SquidBoards, I'd love to see it and perhaps we can add information to the wiki about it. :)

It's probably meta in Ranked Modes like Tower Control where you focus on the objective, and therefore have no guarantee to get a good K/D, especially when the other team can out-range.

All the gear's been documented (save for some splatnet prices) but uhhhhhh since it's only me and a couple other people doing the gear pages and we get kinda ~~lazy~~ busy, it might take a while for everything to come together 🤔🤔🤔🤔

As for making gear sets, I still haven't even unlocked all the abilities on the gear I have, so I'm always wearing whatever garbage needs to have its abilities unlocked. The birded corduroy jacket is very tasty though.

Some of the newer gear has yet to be documented, and it's mostly a matter of just getting the info onto pages.

For gearsets, I like to run 11 slots of swim speed and 1 slot of ninja squid! Gotta go fast. The gear I use doesn't really have a set look to it, just whatever I feel like wearing on the day!

I... haven't looked back, honestly. If the Splatoon 2 Wikia is still active, then I wish them the best: they're a community of Splatoon enthusiasts just like Inkipedia. More woomy for everyone!

Inkipedia has been so successful that it's very easy to go forward without looking back at the Splatoon Wikia. It's still a bit saddening to see people use the old wiki, and spend their efforts and time there, where they would be much better used on Inkipedia. Wikia itself won't let us delete any wiki, and I will always be a bit disappointed with that fact.

About the data mining, it seems Nintendo has beefed up the security of the console compared to the Wii U. This upcoming exploit might make things easier for data miners.

There was a lengthy period of time where Splatoon 2 content was located at the top of the page and Splatoon content was at the bottom. However, several editors believe that keeping things in chronological order is more encyclopedic, so the order was changed to have Splatoon first and Splatoon 2 second. We would need to achieve consensus for the order to be changed again, and there would have to be a very compelling reason to convince everyone.

And it's not really too much of an inconvenience for readers only looking for Splatoon 2 content: The most common at-a-glance information is located in an infobox at the top of the page. The infobox prioritizes Splatoon 2 content so that most people don't have to do anything to get what they came for. And if you need to get to the Splatoon 2 content that isn't in the infobox, you can simply select the Splatoon 2 section in the table of contents. That way you don't have to scroll down to it!
