Revamping
Decided to boot this project back up; our fish, bug, and especially fossil pages need a lot of love.

To start it off, I'll be working on writing out the standards (a la Project Villager) for our fish, bugs, and fossils. As I work on this I'm proposing the following changes: Please bring up any concerns you have with the above, and bring up new ideas if you have any. Thank you! ~ Super  Hamster  Talk 02:21, March 29, 2020 (EDT)
 * A given: update infoboxes to match the style of Template:Infobox Villager.
 * Rename "Encyclopedia information" to "Catch details"; details such as habitat and season are game-specific, not real-world-specific. The "Further information" actually serves as the encyclopedic information.
 * Inside of "Encyclopedia information", we have templates like Template:FishInfoWW, which hold basic data (size, habitat, season). We need to:
 * Update the styling.
 * Move Selling Price + Catchphrases into it.
 * After moving Catchphrases into it, we should get rid of the giant hatnote of catchphrases at the top of each article, leaving only the NH catchphrase.
 * For easy referencing, the infobox should only show NH details (that's all people are looking for now anyway). As mentioned above, selling price + location from previous games will be able to be accessed in the "Catch details" section.
 * We should swap the order of the "Donating to the Museum" and "Encyclopedia Information" sections. Readers will care more about the picture, habitat, and season more than Blather's description.
 * If possible, it would be great to incorporate some of the API hook spans into the templates for fish/bugs so we can start supporting fish/bugs in the API! -- Ja ke  03:25, March 29, 2020 (EDT)
 * Good call! Will be sure to do that. ~ Super  Hamster  Talk 04:04, March 29, 2020 (EDT)
 * We could also add galleries to each page, including sprites/icons/models from all games, along with screenshots of them being caught. ~  AlexBot2004  ( Talk ) 18:53, May 5, 2020 (EDT)


 * Excellent idea. ~ Super  Hamster  Talk 10:59, May 7, 2020 (EDT)
 * I think that when all the catch details have been added, we should trim the infobox right down to just the scientific names and game appearances. I don't see why it needs to still have New Horizons details given they'll be in the "catch details" section, and therefore will be duplicate.

 * I agree! It will also make pages easier to update.
 * Also regarding the infobox - not sure if you are thinking about Sea Creatures - they have their own category (New Leaf deep sea creatures / some are still only in the Deep sea creatures category) so it doesn't work with the infobox as the infobox checks for category "game fish". I think it should look for "game fish" OR "game sea creatures" as all the New Leaf's sea creatures that also appear in Pocket Camp are classified as fish in Pocket Camp.
