extra faces

Can someone please explain what counts as an "extra face" here? Looking through this tag so far seems to mainly bring up pictures of Ranni the Witch, so I don't know if this is one of "hyper specific tags to accomadate a popular character" cases or if there's more to it than that.

she has a ghost-like face that projects near her normal face in those images
it's pretty a cool detail but it is kinda oddly specific to her. and the other character images with that tag have a different application of an "extra face" (King Crimson from JoJo seems to use the tag a few times to describe how it has a 2nd face on its forehead).

if the Ranni application is something worth tagging then the tag has a pretty inprecise (it's just one extra face not multiple) and ambiguous (should probably specify that it's a magical/astral projection?) name atm

Updated

I find how the Splatoon 1 wiki's Weapon section denoting which weapons returned in Splatoon 2 is kind of pointless because nearly every weapon/sub-weapon/special-move introduced in Splatoon 1 carried over into the 2nd and 3rd games. For consistency's sake something similar in Splatoon 2's wiki should have to be done to refer to weapons/sub-weapons/specials introduced in Splatoon 2 that returned in Splatoon 3. Which is again, nearly all of them. The denoation system in the Splatoon 1 wiki isn't even updated for weapons returning in Splatoon 3 yet. If a Splatoon 4 comes out then should someone really need to update all Splatoon 1/2/3 wikis...

ultimately I feel like it would be better wiki design to just make an ultimate "list of weapons in splatoon" wiki and just linking to that in a "See Also" in each of the Splatoon 1/2/3/series wikis, as some sort of all-in-one reference point. List of weapons could even link to it like how it links to List of weapons in Fire Emblem and other named weapons in media. since there's a fair amount of art with the Splatoon main weapons (though not nearly as much with sub-weapons and specials) I feel this is worth doing.

in the wiki it should be made clear which games the weapon/sub-weapon/special debuted in (and which subsequent releases it returns in if it does). and it's really the only wiki that one would need to update to reference Splatoon weapons. if this wiki is complete, then the Weapons sections in the Splatoon 1/2 wikis (3 doesn't have one currently) could just be removed. those sections also just kind of bloat what is just a game installment wiki. I think the Character list sections in each wiki should be good enough and then a "See Also" could reference the master "list of weapons in Splatoon" wiki

unless there's an objection, I'd be willing to make the wiki. just gonna wait for a response or two first in case there's flaws in my approach

Edit: I intend to make this wiki, just kind of busy lately
Edit 2: List of weapons in Splatoon, done. Splatoon series/1/2/3 wikis updated accordingly.

Updated

The help:upload wiki currently has some broken hyperlinks in the table of contents. They should be using hyphens instead of underscores. It would be easy for me to fix them myself, but because it is a very important page, I thought it would be better to ask first.

There's also the "Uploading One's Own Art is Discouraged" link, which is still present even though the related section was removed.

string lights

Different from string of light bulbs?

string of light bulbs is for the string lights composed of larger bulbs that typically all hang downward, example: post #6818260. I believe string lights is currently being used for those that use minibulbs or small LED lights, which is essentially the same kind used in modern Christmas lights (especially white lights) but used for non-Christmas season purposes and likely more kinds of shapes.
