How do we know when a new SSR/SP shiki is coming to GL & JP/TW?
New releases are usually every 4-5 weeks. So to figure that out, just look at the release date for the previous shiki and see what date is ~4 weeks later.
The refresh date in the illustration shop is also a good way to figure out when a new shiki or new big event is coming out. Just keep in mind that NetEase can choose to shorten or extend that date at any time.
What is the announcement/release schedule for new SSR/SP shiki on CN?
The general schedule is;
Around ~2 weeks after the previous shiki was released, a new CN sub-server will get announced and the icon for it will usually relate to a new shiki or event.
In the same week the new sub-server gets announced, applications for the invite test server and assembly for the new sub-server start after maintenance.
Usually, around the start of the next week (Sun-Tue), the new shiki will be officially announced.
After the next maintenance is over, the invite test server will open, the new shiki will be added to Royal Battle on live/test servers and assembly/new event will start on test server.
Then a week later the new shiki will be added to live CN servers.

What if there's no new SSR/SP shiki announcement?
The only time there might not be an announcement is if CN has a PVP event (eg; FFYC, Duel Season), there's a big collab event or there's a new R/SR instead of an SSR/SP with its own big event.
When do the skills for new shiki usually get revealed?
Skill names/icons, and sometimes animations, usually come on a Tuesday evening during the week the shiki first gets announced. Skill descriptions always come out after the maintenance that adds them to CN Royal Battle.
Where can I find English translations of an unreleased shiki's skills?
English translations of the skills are usually added to the Onmyoji wiki the same day they're added to CN test server and Royal Battle. If they receive any skill adjustments while on the invite test server, their skills on the wiki will be updated relatively quickly to reflect those adjustments.
There are also translations on reddit, in the official discord server and possibly in some discord servers for some of the top GL guilds.
Note: When asking questions about unreleased shiki or events in the official discord server, please remember to do so in the #spoilers-and-lore channel. Once they've been officially announced for GL, can ask about them in the #general and #help channels.
Where can I find English translations of any CN skill adjustments?
Can either find them on reddit or possibly in the official onmyoji discord.
Until a skill adjustment has been implemented on GL and JP/TW, it cannot be added to the Onmyoji wiki.
When is [skill adjustment/event/new skin] coming to GL and JP/TW?
Releases for those kinds of things tend to follow the same schedule as CN, give or take 1-2 weeks. Events themed around Chinese IRL events might be moved around to a different time of the year or possibly skipped and rewards like frames/skins from it will be made available via different means (added to the skin shop or added to a different event).
For CN anniversary events, anything that is directly related to new shiki and their associated event will stay on their release schedule. Things more related to the anniversary itself (eg: free daily summons, special demon parade event, etc) will be moved to the anniversary months for GL/JP/TW and will coincide with whatever shiki will be released around that time.
For older shop skins that are still unreleased for unknown reasons, there's no telling when or even if they'll ever be released.
