#also i didnt want to put this on the splatoon fandom wiki because all of those articles would be stubs too and they will probably hate that

[cack1e]

So here's an update. Originally, I had planned to make a page on Inkipedia but recently I discovered that they didn't consider the main promotional characters (such as VeronIKA, Kaori and Surume) as notable enough to have their own page (which is understandable, they only really show up in the manga and promotional material, having no impact on the game's story).

With this I knew there was no chance I was going to get a full page or more dedicated to the hub NPCs and I knew that if i wanted the wiki to be as searchable as I wanted (e.g. searching for the names of NPCs in certain images, finding all NPCs that play certain weapons, galleries for each npc) I would probably have to have one page per NPC (which they definitely would not want, every article would be a stub).

Due to all of this I kinda went off on my own trying to think of ways I could document this information in a way that would satisfy my requirements for searchability. I made a slideshow documenting the names of characters from promotional images I found on inkipedia, I made a secondary blog that I planned to tag so much it could be used like a wiki, I planned to make a google doc with like 100 chapters for every possible type of character but none of it worked out and ended up being much more time consuming than a collaborative media wiki with categories and templates wouldve been. I just wanted to make a media wiki, but how was I going to do that when I didnt have the money or knowledge to make or run a site like that, nor was I sure my fixation on these guys was gonna last more than a month. Though, there was one solution sat right in front of me this whole time that I ignored because I thought it was beneath me. This solution is called Fandom Dot Com.

Fandom, if you weren't aware, fucking SUCKS. There's so many ads and stupid videos making it pretty much impossible to use on mobile. But I Am Out Of Options.

So here's the wiki. It's super bare bones right now with inconsistant descriptions, placeholder images everywhere and I'm pretty sure I have uploaded the images wrong (uploaded them through the editor and not the upload page so they are not marked as copyrighted even though they ARE. also some are missing alt text).

If you want to help out I'd really appreciate it. Right now we're missing most of the main promo characters' character pages AND the Splatoon 2 and Splatoon 3 Pages are missing portraits in the gallery. I also need to make categories. If you upload images, please try to source them. I can retitle and rename them later but I cannot know exactly where you got the images from. Thank you!

TDLR; Couldn't make it on Inkipedia. Made a fandom wiki. It's here. Help is appreciated.

I've been planning on making a page on the wiki for them with sections for each character's appearances in promotional material but I have no idea if anyone would even use it.

wanted to write some more about this and answer some questions

first answers to two questions i saw: its available for both chrome/chromium and firefox. the search filtering works for google, bing, and duckduckgo.

i wanted to clarify like, the main goal from what i understand is to get folks to use high quality independently hosted wikis they might not otherwise know exist since search engines typically put fandom at the top. since theres still some wikis primarily only on fandom, by default it wont touch any other fandom wikis not in the list. however if (like me) u hate fandom.com u can turn on breezewiki redirection if you so desire, which will redirect any other fandom wikis not listed to a breezewiki instance of your choice. at the very least if youre already aware of all these indie wikis and use them regularly, with the extension youll never accidentally end up on fandom from a google search again lol

also some of these indie wikis are actually hosted on miraheze rather than hosted by the owners of the wiki. this is fine since miraheze is a nonprofit wiki farm with 0 ads that very rarely fucks with the wikis it hosts compared to fandom. miraheze is doing good work :)

another thing, the extension is fully open source! u can find the source code on github here and fork, make pull requests, write issues, inspect the source code urself, whatever. its licensed under the MIT license

lastly for anyone curious about the full details, heres the list of fandom wiki redirects as of the current version. it is very long so im putting it under a readmore

heres a list of breezewiki instances available in the extension. if any are ever down or dont have the wiki you want, try a different one

breezewiki.com

antifandom.com

bw.vern.cc

breezewiki.pussthecat.org

bw.projectsegfau.lt

breeze.hostux.net

bw.artemislena.eu

breeze.777.tf

breezewiki.esmailelbob.xyz

hopefully i spelled everything correctly and didnt mess up fjkdsjfsdl

any that might seem obvious and popular enough (such as Sonic the Hedgehog) that dont have a redirect are simply because there isnt a high quality independent wiki out there for those subjects, at the moment the fandom wikis are the definitive source of information for those topics. you wouldnt want to be redirected from a perfectly fine fandom wiki to a dead website would you :P

sorry for rambling, thats all. also i said "mutual not on tumblr" because i meant hes a twitter mutual lol, sorry for the weird wording. Kevin Payravi's contact info is on the site if youd like to ask him anything or contact him for other reasons

figure this might be of interest to folks here, a mutual of mine who doesnt have tumblr (i believe) just released a super handy extension called Indie Wiki Buddy. does a lot more than just redirects, itll filter out search results and add a banner to fandom wikis youre viewing, and it goes hand-in-hand with Breezewiki if you're already using it :)
