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.
