Talk:Gigas giant clam

Pocket Camp Info

Should information on the Gigas Giant Clam in PC be added here? In PC, it was available for a limited time as part of a shell collecting event, and it's a shell rather than a fish or sea creature, even though it is practically identical to the one in NH. I see that other shells do not get their own pages, and there isn't a template for them, so I'm not sure how to go about adding it to this page, if it even makes sense to do so. I did go ahead and put the icon in the gallery, but wasn't sure about whether to put it on this main page or not. ~ Poppliopal (talk) 16:28, November 27, 2020 (EST)

Now that I think about it, the sea star, turban shell, sea urchin, and clam are in a similar position, where they have all been sea creatures in a main game but appeared for at least some time in PC as a shell ~ Poppliopal (talk) 16:35, November 27, 2020 (EST)

I think since it's clearly the same creature, it should go here, even if it's a shell rather than a sea creature. There could be a catch details section for Pocket Camp that explains it's a shell and anything else about its appearance in that game. ~ AlexBot2004 (Talk) 16:45, November 27, 2020 (EST)

Is there a template that would work for it? The one for fish has a lot of things that don't apply. ~ Poppliopal (talk) 16:48, November 27, 2020 (EST)

There is not (currently) a template for shells, so for now I think just sentences will do. ~ AlexBot2004 (Talk) 16:56, November 27, 2020 (EST)

Okay. Should the icon be included? I'm not sure what way makes the most sense to display it, without interfering with the info template or the next section. If I try to use the Clear template it makes the next section also avoid the infobox template, rather than just the image. ~ Poppliopal (talk) 17:08, November 27, 2020 (EST)

I think a left-aligned thumbnail would be good. If the icon is on the left, you can use {{Clear|left}} so it only moves things that are in its way on the left side, so it won't affect the infobox. ~ AlexBot2004 (Talk) 17:17, November 27, 2020 (EST)

Oh yes that looks better! Thanks for that tip. I went ahead and added the section now ~ Poppliopal (talk) 19:09, November 27, 2020 (EST)
