All them images
Hey, just wanted you to know that your contributions to the Merchandise page have been GREAT! Thank you, and keep going! Have an unofficial barnsquid!

 * you are welcome! 12:56, 22 April 2020 (UTC)


 * just to let you know: if you move a file from one name to the other, instead of blanking the page, please use the tag . Thanks! (otherwise, good job on uploads) Trig - 13:12, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

Edit summaries
Hey, I just have one thing to ask you. Can you start putting a summary of your changes in the summary box? For example. This helps in many ways, for example people browsing a page's history will be able to find a change they are looking for way faster, as they can just look at the summary. Thanks, 09:18, 3 May 2020 (UTC)


 * Will do, sorry about that. Just didn't think most of the edits were significant enough for a summary. Skua (talk) 09:34, 3 May 2020 (UTC)

Improving the wiki
Hey, I noticed you were going to great efforts to clean up various things like duplicate files and categorization. I truly appreciate your efforts. Thank you! 😁 Heddy (talk) 14:39, 9 May 2020 (UTC)
 * No problem, thank you! Skua (talk) 15:15, 9 May 2020 (UTC)

Hmm, why did you remove the character categories and replace them with broad ones like "Splatoon 2"? Categories should be as specific as possible. Heddy (talk) 04:46, 10 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Almost all of the characters don't have their own category so it didn't make sense for the ones who did. I think at least for now that images of specific things like characters are better off as galleries than categories. Skua (talk)
 * I see what you're saying, that those topics are too specific at the present time. If that's the situation, then we should create a slightly broader category that is not too specific. Like "Category:Screenshots of characters in Splatoon 2". This would be better than placing them in a high-level category like "Category:Splatoon 2", which makes it more difficult for people to find files grouped by kind, type, subject, or quality (which is the purpose of the category structure). Heddy (talk) 23:39, 10 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Of course, I only intended for those to be there temporarily for replacing the previous category. I understand categories but having ones that are too specific means it's likely that every file could apply to several categories and it'd be impossible to categorise all of them perfectly.
