Interest check - art contest for the Inkipedia logo
When I found out that the Inkipedia logo is from Nintendo's old Splatoon website, I wondered if there would be any interest in replacing it with original art. Something original and fitting for an encyclopedia about Splatoon. Maybe art of a squid reading a book, or something like that.

We could have an art contest! With Splatoon 3 releasing this year, the number of active Inkipedia editors is increasing, and the more people involved, the better the contest would be; so, sometime this year would be an ideal time for such a contest. I could personally fund prizes which could include eshop gift cards or cash.

There is a technical reason to get a new logo: newer wiki skins require text-only and art-only versions of the logo in addition to the normal logo; we only have the normal logo, so new skins such as Vector 2022 or Timeless don't look as good as they should. So, if we were to hold an art contest, each entry would require 3 submissions: (1) the art-only logo, (2) the text-only logo, called a "wordmark", and (3) the logo with art and text combined.

Changing the logo is not something to be taken lightly, so there would be at least two rounds of voting. One vote to choose the art contest winner. Then, a second vote: art contest winner versus the current Inkipedia logo.

Register your interest with a comment in the categories below. If there is not sufficient interest, no contest will take place. Thank you! Heddy (talk) 20:59, 24 April 2022 (UTC)


 * This is a great idea. originality is always really good for anything. DuckSaxDog1 (talk) 00:39, 9 September 2022 (UTC)

Oppose. I like the current logo, and we shouldn't consider choosing a new logo.

General discussion, ideas, suggestions, and other comments

 * Any opinions on how a contest should be held? Rules and restrictions? Procedures? Prizes? Timeframe? Heddy (talk) 20:59, 24 April 2022 (UTC)
 * I think this would be nice, as a lot of the visuals here are starting to look pretty outdated. As for restrictions, I think only users who have the welcome message on their talk page present before the contest should be allowed to participate, so as to prevent people making an account for the sole purpose of partaking in this. I guess for prizes, maybe the winner could receive a box of assorted Splatoon 3-related goodies, like a plush and/or a t-shirt of some kind. 21:15, 24 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Sounds fun! I can't promise anything, but I'll sure try to submit something if this happens. I don't know about a precise timeframe, but I think it should be long enough to let even busy people have a chance at making art. And as for restrictions, maybe give some for format (png, I assume?) or dimensions (square, not too small or too big)? 21:45, 24 April 2022 (UTC)
 * This sounds like a great idea! I probably won’t submit any art since little icon to thingies aren’t really my thing, but I definitely support this. As for the prizes, I think an E-gift card would be best so as to keep things private online. I’m excited to see what people make! 00:56, 25 April 2022 (UTC)
 * I'm so used to the current one it would be hard to let it go. Changes are hard. Shahar (talk) 09:40, 25 April 2022 (UTC)
 * It'd be an interesting fresh start. I'm sure it'd take getting used to, but a new coat of paint might be what the wiki needs in view of the upcoming release. Besides, it'd be nice to have a logo that'd work well with some of the other skins. ShadowLugia250 (talk) 12:11, 25 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Sounds very fun!  ChessMaster   [TALK]  12:40, 25 April 2022 (UTC)
 * The current logo is good and recognizable enough, even though it is from 2016 (or maybe 2015). If there is a new logo, I prefer it to be simplistic like the current logo. — Exaskliri (talk | contribs) 13:45, 25 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Wait. There's no Octoling symbol. That, and the technical reasons (mentioned by Heddy above). I would probably voted "oppose" otherwise, honestly. — Exaskliri (talk | contribs) 13:45, 25 April 2022 (UTC)
 * My only wish is that the logo will fit Splatoon's art style, otherwise it might feel a bit jarring. Other than that, it sounds like a nice idea. — 18:33, 25 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Hello there. If the prizes are eShop gift cards, participants should state whether they can use it or not. Like, those who cannot use it may receive a gift card of another type of their choice or pass the eShop card to the next winner. In my case, I have no Nintendo consoles that can use them. — Exaskliri (talk | contribs) 02:28, 28 April 2022 (UTC)
 * A question. Any rules regarding colors of the logo? At least whether it is allowed to be two-tone or just one-tone. — Exaskliri (talk | contribs) 03:43, 28 April 2022 (UTC)
 * I'm not going to have any restrictions like that. Use as many colors as you want. Heddy (talk) 16:02, 28 April 2022 (UTC)
 * I think there is enough interest! I have drafted some rules. Please take a look at those rules, and share your feedback and proposed changes on the project talk page. Heddy (talk) 07:30, 29 April 2022 (UTC)

Splatoon Youtubers
Maybe we could add a section and pages dedicated to Splatoon Youtubers and their content like Viantastic, OctoBoy, Wadsm, etc. It's just a random idea and I really don't have ideas to support it, but what do you think and how should we turn this idea into reality?

DedSplat1369 (talk) 17:56, 2 May 2022 (UTC)DedSplat1369


 * Sometimes youtube videos are cited as a source of information, but other than that, there isn't anything else to say about them. They are out of scope for Inkipedia, because Inkipedia is a wiki about Splatoon. If there is a wiki about youtubers as people (there probably is), then that would be the place to create those pages. Staying in-scope is one of the ways we keep this encylopedia as high quality as it can be! Heddy (talk) 14:11, 8 May 2022 (UTC)
 * I know a youtuber called Failboat who does Splatoon videos. He is very hilarious and has quite a few videos.
 * the octoling girl 15:33, 18 September 2022 (UTC)

i don’t think that’s a good idea this wiki is for splatoon stuff and although those people post splatoon content it just doesn’t fit! (there is a youtube wiki i think also i’m kinda new so idk if my opinion is a big one lol) Oddlildude 04:16, 19 July 2022 (UTC)

How can I customize my signature?
Going thru the talk pages in the wiki, I noticed a lot of people have signatures with custom fonts and icons... how do you do that? Is that an admin-only capability? ninckmane (talk) 23:21, 11 May 2022 (UTC)


 * Everything you need to know can be found on INK:SIG. Let me know if you have any more questions! GloverMist (talk) 06:37, 12 May 2022 (UTC)
 * I read the page but I was still kinda confused about the custom signatures. It says to create a custom signature code or something like that but I'm stupid and don't know what that means or what to go to to do it. Also, yeah I'm not the original person you replied to but I have no one else to go to so here I am...Goldie (talk) 08:20, 4 July 2022 (UTC)
 * @Goldie: The easiest way to learn is to look at what other people did. If you saw someone's sig and you want to have one like theirs, look at the code to see how they did it, and you can copy it as a starting point for your own sig. The signature code is made using wiki markup, the same stuff that articles are built with! For example, the code  produces  Goldie  ( talk ). You can copy that and modify as desired. Heddy (talk) 14:09, 4 July 2022 (UTC)
 * How do I replace my current signature with my custom one? I tried doing it in preferences but it doesn’t work. OrderSquid38 (talk) 23:47, 17 July 2022 (UTC)
 * What's the length of your signature? Squiddies of the World, Unite! 🦑️ Ika-Katsumi  🐙️ S2 Icon Callie 2.png  talk  S2 Icon Marie 2.png  contributions  02:54, 3 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Hey, I see your user has little icons, and I'm curious as to how I could do that with my sig. For an example, I'd like to use the Splatoon 3 Agent 1 Icon, but I don't know how to do source very well. Rozelia The Octo06 (talk) 03:26, 21 September 2022 (UTC)
 * thanks! Goldie (talk) 05:19, 26 July 2022 (UTC)

Info correctness
When I looked at the Nzap ´83 page, I saw one section that said its sub was Point Sensor and another that said it was the Sprinkler. Again, one part said the special was Kraken, and one said it was Ink Storm. I was just wondering which it was. Tac0fan9 (talk) 23:14, 15 May 2022 (UTC)Tac0fan9


 * It has a different sub and special in Splatoon and Splatoon 2. In splatoon, it has point sensor and kraken, while in Splatoon 2 it has sprinkler and ink storm. Hopefully that helped! OrderSquid123 (talk) 00:44, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks! Tac0fan9 (talk) 21:51, 17 May 2022 (UTC)

Octarian s3 section again
Hey umm so did anyone else see the news on the Octarians in splatoon 3- they were only screenshots but I would really like it if I could actually make a section for the Octarians in splatoon 3, I’ve tried this before but there wasn’t enough info so just asking again. - Octosquidfishyling?!?! (Also sorry I totally forgot how to link my name again :/)
 * @Octosquidfishyling?!?! Yes, you should make any improvements as you see fit. When it comes to editing wikis, it's best to be bold!
 * Note that all images have already been uploaded as far as I am aware; you can look at the Return of the Mammalians page or the relevant category page to easily find the images, as you will need their file name to add them to articles.
 * To automatically insert your signature with timestamp, type 4 tildes, like . You can use the show preview button to verify that it inserts your signature before saving your comment.
 * I hope this helps. Feel free to ask more questions if you need help. Heddy (talk) 00:03, 20 May 2022 (UTC)

What are some of the custom commands in this wiki?
E.g. how people put an image or different font on their signature, how to organize pages in a more appealing way, etc.

If you know some of them, please share! I’m new to wiki’s and there are so many stuff i see people doing but i don’t know how to lol :)

Okidoki (talk) 03:51, 22 May 2022 (UTC)


 * For everything about signatures, check INK:SIG. For how pages were organized, you can click  and see the wikitext and how things are structured (images, tables, etc...). If you need any help, feel free to ask here or in Discord. Shahar (talk) 10:29, 22 May 2022 (UTC)

Links directly to images?
I came across some links that don't lead to a wikipage but instead to an image.

I found no rule against this in the guidelines but I personally think that a link that leads to a wikipage is more helpful. e.g. Sunken Scroll 1 or Sunken Scroll 1

What do you think?

Rostzwiebel (talk) 06:25, 29 May 2022 (UTC)


 * Either one is helpful, as it's nice to know what a sunken scroll looks like for those who do not have access to the scroll in their copy of either Splatoon or Splatoon 2. It's also there for people who do not know the name of the file. The first one is there for viewers who don't know what the scroll looks like, the second link is about the scroll. In the wiki page is the image of the scroll. If you click on the image, you get directed to the first link. If you still have questions, please reply. Other than that, I hope I answered your question! &#123;&#123;SUBST:nosubst&#124;User:ConfusedSquib/Sig&#125;&#125; (talk) 02:51, 30 May 2022 (UTC) 02:29, 30 May 2022 (UTC)

Signatures
So, I haven't been able to get my signature to work. This is probably because I haven't checked the "custom signature" box. However, I do not know where it is. If someone can help me with that, that would be great. Thanks in advance! --&#123;&#123;SUBST:nosubst&#124;User:ConfusedSquib/Sig&#125;&#125; (talk) 03:04, 30 May 2022 (UTC) (Clearly, the signature doesn't work)
 * So, you go to Preferences (Should be in the top right corner. On mobile, it should be in the collapsible table in the top right corner), and scroll down until you see "Signature". Hope this helps! WolfTamer S2 Icon Callie 3.png 03:10, 6 June 2022 (UTC)

Did You Know?
We should add a "Did You Know?" page, like in Wikirby, Nookipedia, etc. I don't exactly know how, but I'd assume the talented people here might. Thoughts? --Chaos Agent (talk)

I think that's a great idea! I'm new here, so I'm not sure how to do that myself either but maybe the others will? -- * Woomy? (talk)  16:15, 5 July 2022 (UTC)

I can do it https://splatoonwiki.org/w/index.php?title=Did_you_know Particle Zero (talk)

"Reporting a bug" page?
I've been running into a couple of glitches recently, and I was wondering if we could have a page just for reporting bugs on the website (unless we already have one, or if we don't need one). What do you guys think? WolfTamer 02:48, 6 June 2022 (UTC)


 * What have you found? You can report things on our Discord server or just tell us here if you wish - the former might be easier! GloverMist (talk) 16:47, 6 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Well, I've run into three that I've noticed.
 * The first glitch is on my user page, where my userboxes are a little bit glitched when viewing on desktop mode, however it doesn't appear on mobile view. There is a noticeable gap in between my Front Roe userbox and my custom manga userbox, but when looking at the source code, there's nothing out of the ordinary. This has been happening to me since another user swapped out my custom Front Roe userbox with the official one about a week ago.
 * The second one just happened to me just a few minutes ago (could be a network issue, though), where no matter how many times I tried to log into Inkipedia, it would lead me to an error screen. It happened on both my laptop and my phone, but after a few minutes, it let me log in.
 * The third one is when I try responding to people on talk pages, it’ll glitch the entire conversation, and I have to edit the source code to respond to people. If you look at my past edits on this page, you can see what it looks like.

WolfTamer 18:28, 6 June 2022 (UTC)
 * For #1, the gap may be because the image for the manga user box is a rectangle instead of the usual square. Maybe try cropping it or switching to another image. For #2, if the error shows a white screen saying something like “503 Guru mediation fetch failure”, I’ve been noticing that a lot randomly on Bulbapedia, and they said they’re working on it, so it might be similar if you’re seeing the same message. 503 errors are usually caused by something being under maintenance, so maybe it was being edited a lot when you were trying to get on. As for 3, I don’t really know. Could be a connection error or maybe someone was editing the page at the same time. Hope this helped for 1 and 2 though. 20:12, 6 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Well, I tried to switch out the image for the manga userbox, but it still didn't work. I even tried removing the userbox altogether, but the glitch still happens.
 * As for the second one, I think that was the case.

Sheldon in s3
So sorry to take up space with this but I saw some people talking about there being an ammo knights in splatsville in a screenshot and such so I wanted to ask if It’s okay to mention that on Sheldon’s page. Octosquidfishyling?!?!  .^.^. (talk) 16:35, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
 * I don't think so. So far, Sheldon himself is not seen on any Splatoon 3 media despite Ammo Knights' logo's appearance. — Exaskliri (talk | contribs) 17:00, 24 June 2022 (UTC)

I dunno because ammo knights is listed as a shop and i think sheldon m i g h t be... I could be wrong!! sorry if i am! :-P Oddlildude  ( talk ) 04:23, 19 July 2022 (UTC)

So if you guys have seen the news, I think this is up for discussion again! I’m super excited, what do you guys think? Octosquidfishyling?!?!  .^.^. (talk) 15:10, 20 July 2022 (UTC)


 * hey yea i think you say the splatoon twitter posted sheldon on a sunken scroll so he’s confirmed! check the splatoon 3 gallery for him (i would wait about the ammo knights EVEN if it is there just to be safe wait :-D unless someone like a more experienced wiki editor says yes!

Apology
Aight y’all, I have some big apologies:

When I first joined a while back, I was a jerk. I was younger, less mature, self-righteous, and a complete fool. I tried to run for moderator without even realizing what it was. I’m far less active here now, and I probably won’t get more active (till S3 at least), but I wanted to say I’m sorry for being a complete git back in the day.

(PS, when I was coding my page I didn’t know how to copy and paste. Now I’m studying HTML and JS. A wee bit of improvement in my computering skills)

Font Page
Is there a page with a list of all the fonts we can use here? If not, could someone make one? I don't know all the fonts. It could be useful for making signatures. - * Woomy? (talk)  18:43, 5 July 2022 (UTC)


 * Fonts have little to do with Inkipedia and more to do with general computing and web browsing. Any font installed on your computer can be displayed in the web browser. You can use CSS code like  to say "I want the Georgia font to be displayed if available, and if it's not available, just choose the default font in the serif family of fonts".
 * The only difference with Inkipedia is that you can use  and   for the Splatoon and Splatoon 2 fonts without installing the fonts on your computer, because they are automatically downloaded and placed in your web browser's storage cache the first time you visit Inkipedia. Heddy (talk) 22:41, 5 July 2022 (UTC)

Strategy pages
I was browsing the strategy page and I noticed that some weapons aren't covered, such as the Goo Tuber. I was hoping for some strategy with the Goo Tuber as I am trying to get better at maining it. Is it a work in progress or something that was overlooked? - Woomy? (talk)  22:36, 8 July 2022 (UTC)


 * There are still some weapons that don’t have a strategy page but will probably be created eventually. I’m pretty sure you can create one yourself, but not 100% sure. Hope this helped though OrderSquid38 (talk) 22:41, 8 July 2022 (UTC)

Updating URLs
Hey team. Now that https://splatoon.nintendo.com/ directs to a Splatoon 3 game site, does each instance of this URL's in reference to Splatoon 2 have to be amended individually, or is there a central/streamlined way to update URLs on a wiki?

Tableturf Battle cards
How do we want to handle individual Tableturf Battle cards?
 * Should we have a single page with detailed information about all the cards, including the ink shapes? (For now, we just have a list.)
 * Should each card have its own page?
 * Should we put the information about a given card on the page for whatever that card represents? For example, should we put details about the Splattershot card on the Splattershot page?
 * Something else?

In my sandbox, I created a template that we can use to show the ink shapes without using images, if that's something we want to do. Gomtuu (talk) 15:33, 18 August 2022 (UTC)

Here's an example of how the template could be used in a list of Tableturf cards. Gomtuu (talk) 20:22, 18 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Great work! For now, I think a list should be sufficient, and if we ever need a place to record more information about a card (trivia, history, more pictures, etc.) then it may be time to create an article. I don't know anything about these cards; it's really up to the discretion of editors adding info to decide if a topic needs an article. Heddy (talk) 13:47, 21 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks! I went ahead and moved my template to the global namespace, then added the ink shapes to the list page. Gomtuu (talk) 19:14, 21 August 2022 (UTC)

Separate "Walkthrough" and "Layout"
In the pages for the Splatoon 1 single player stages, there is a "walkthough" section that constantly uses second-person narration. I was wondering if it is possible to create separate "walkthrough" pages for each single player stages, then have the main page describe the layout in a more standard manner. Kenderman123 (talk) 02:48, 21 August 2022 (UTC)

Anarchy Splatcast Dialogue
Does anyone have a plan for the Anarchy Splatcast dialogue from Splatoon 3? It seems like the StageQuotes template might not work well, even if it had three columns, because the three people can speak in any order.

Also, should the Splatfest announcement dialogue from the Direct go on the Rock vs. Paper vs. Scissors page? Or are we waiting to see whether the in-game announcement is different? Gomtuu (talk) 13:45, 22 August 2022 (UTC)

Treehouse Nintendo
I know this doesn't have to do with the wiki but I just think that the Nintendo Treehouse live right now might release new info. It's already showing off a new level, and i'm pretty sure it might show more information about Splatoon 3Randomguy (talk)

S3 Models
As of right now the site is using the 3D weapon models of S3 for the weapon pages and I understand why as it’s the same as the past 2 games but I suggest we use the 2D sprites instead as in my opinion not only do they look better but there also more recognizable going from in game to the site. Thoughts?

In my opinion, I like the 3D sprites because I think they look more detailed and because they might be more recognizable since some 2D Sprites are sort of blurry and in the game the weapons are 3D and not 2D. But that's just my opinion.Randomguy (talk) 07:12, 29 August 2022 (UTC)

How do I use my custom signature

All games story mode with all weapons
I was thinking that we should include videos for all of the weapons in all of the Splatoons. I just joined and haven’t made any edits so I wasn’t sure if I could do it. Could someone please respond cause I want to contribute to the wiki but I am not sure what to do. Thanks and Woomy! BackintotheInk (talk) 21:24, 30 August 2022 (UTC)

Certain stuff revealed in the Splatfest world premiere are Subject to change due to being a testfire. should I do anything about it? Greasy Hot Dog (talk) 18:01, 31 August 2022 (UTC)

Chorus of Calamari County
So, I’d like to bring this up… the squid sisters technically did not make this song and it had existed for many years canon in splatoon. Some people are starting to notice this and complain so is it okay if I fix that? Wanted to ask because it looks like a sensitive page. Octosquidfishyling?!?!  .^.^.

Some issues I've come across
After the Wiki's update, I have discovered some issues: Can anyone that's in charge fix these problems please? Sincerely,  12:32, 7 September 2022 (UTC)
 * 1) The More Tab in desktop mode isn't in its own bubble.
 * 2) At the very bottom of the wiki, the "Powered by" tabs and the Privacy Policy, About Inkipedia, Disclaimers & Mobile/Desktop view links are now floating halfway out of the bubble.
 * 3) The custom Splatoon 1 & Splatoon 2 text fonts don't show, even if their code is put in.
 * 4) This one came up before the update; In Mobile view on a smartphone, when I return to the Main Page from checking the Recent Changes, The link to Octo Canyon will randomly overlap the Salmon Run link.


 * Hi P.J. thank you for your diligence! I can confirm that @GuyPerfect has fixed points 1 and 2.
 * For point 3, we are deleting Inkipedia-hosted Splatoon fonts as they present quite a bad copyright problem for us; we can lean on Fair Use for educational purposes like making a wiki, but we don't want to be held liable for derivative works from a copyrighted source. The fonts will still work on your browser if the font is installed to your machine.
 * For point 4, this will resolve itself when we make the Main Page update ready for Splatoon 3 :) 18:41, 7 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Alright. I can agree with being safe with copyrighted stuff. I will remove the code strings from my user space stuff later.  19:29, 7 September 2022 (UTC)

Dedf1sh question
Hello! I noticed something about Dedf1sh’s image background. If you look at the very bottom of the Kamabo Co. logo in the back you can see a tiny bit of pink (or whatever shade the octolings naturally have). This is most likely symbolizing how Dedf1sh was partially sanatized and little of her true self remains. I wanted to make sure I could write something about this before I make note of it in the trivia. I’m unsure if it has been confirmed by anyone yet. Thanks! Clarinet.octo ( talk ) 13:26, 7 September 2022 (UTC)


 * You could mention that the logo and the coloring could possibly be reference her partial sanitization. Woomy? (talk) S2_Weapon_Main_Sploosh-o-matic_7.png S2_Ability_Main_Power_Up.png 19:09, 7 September 2022 (UTC)
 * This was already confirmed by Nintendo, there's even a quote saying that little of her true self remains. 19:13, 7 September 2022 (UTC)

Okay, I just wanted to double check. I’ll add something soon, thanks! Clarinet.octo ( talk ) 11:09, 8 September 2022 (UTC)

Dev Interview
There's a developer interview on Nintendo UK that has loads of good stuff. Already uploaded some concept art from it. Has some details on the game and such. View it here : https://www.nintendo.co.uk/News/2022/August/Ask-the-Developer-Vol-7-Splatoon-3-Chapter-2-2262753.html - Woomy? (talk)

So, um, since the logo/theme change, embeds seem a little broken...

Ink Pump's top section is... less than visible in dark mode
The ink pump top secton, the editing section just above this, and the current editing format i am typing in are all very hard to read while using the dark mode on Inkipedia. (See included screenshot for an example) -Rider - Komisurdamai hajufrodaskai!~ SplatSys 14:10, 12 September 2022 (UTC)

Teddy band page
I created a teddy band page(the headgear that you get after completing the secret kettle in S3 but I am not that good at editing so I was wondering if someone could add on to that. Here is the link: Teddy band. Thanks and WOOMY! BackintotheInk (talk) 19:10, 12 September 2022 (UTC)

Tongue thing
Hey, sorry for having so many questions! I noticed in the single player that Shiver and Frye both have tongues. In the Inkling and the Naughty v. Nice splatfest (I haven’t checked anything else) they both say that Inklings -and most likely Octolings- do not have tongues. Should I look more into it? I’m not sure if anyone has updated this. Thanks everyone!!

(Side note: This new update is awesome for people like me who use mobile. Thanks to everyone that did that :])

Clarinet.octo ( talk ) 21:42, 12 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Never mind, I just decided to add a little section in the trivia for shiver and Frye about them having tongues. Thanks guys! Clarinet.octo  ( talk ) 23:15, 15 September 2022 (UTC)

Hi! I need some help on the C-Side page!!!
So I added stuff to the chart of songs on C-side, but I don't know how to add audio files, could someone do that pls? {Sorry!} Rainiac (talk) 22:37, 13 September 2022 (UTC)

Userboxes?
Is there a page dedicated to userboxes somewhere on this wiki? Can one be made if there isn't? Arcade! (talk) 16:05, 14 September 2022 (UTC)


 * I’m not 100% on this, but I guess you could probably copy and paste a user box off of someone’s page that you want to use. I would suggest also asking someone that seems a bit more “in the know” about the wiki for their advice and help. Hope this helps you! Clarinet.octo  ( talk ) 23:17, 15 September 2022 (UTC)

New Brands
The templates for both the new brands (emberz and barazushi) say they have an even chance of rolling any ability though that is not true as shown by their respective brand pages and templates can only be edited by higher perms. Particle Zero (talk) 19:06, 14 September 2022 (UTC)

Decorations and Stickers
How should decorations and stickers for the lockers be organized? Should there be one page with a list of all possible items, or should each item receive its own page?

Masterpage: Easier to implement, harder for people to look up specific items and harder to add trivia.

Individual pages: Much harder to implement, able to display all information.

Kenderman123 (talk) 04:47, 15 September 2022 (UTC)


 * A masterpage, I don't believe decorations and stickers are notable enough to have their own individual pages. Maybe there can be a section in the page for trivia-- specific item names could redirect to the item's place on the page? Arcade! (talk) 18:50, 15 September 2022 (UTC)
 * I'm planning on making a gear list-style page for the decorations, stickers, etc. Maybe... List of locker customizations in Splatoon 3...? ControlCoreAngel (talk) 23:12, 24 September 2022 (UTC)

Inkling Language Translation
Okay, so this may be a long shot, but I made a discovery in Splatoon 3. So, Sunken Scroll 5, the page that looks like a manga was ripped out. I was bored last night and decided "I wanna translate this!!" That now lead me to 7 tabs open, and I was going through most of the scrolls. So I get to scroll 5. I thought it would be fun to mess with, and so I go spend ten-ish minutes. I get to the bottom panel, bottom left of the page on the right. I go write down the English characters (which I did by using the bold cipher image and wrote down by hand) and look at it. "omae nande konn na todfroni?!". Huh... WAIT OMAE?! So I go pull up Google Translate and I think about the f. I thought it was an O, and got "Why are you in the mud?!" So now, as I went to type the English/Romanji I found, I realized, "Why didn't i try other letters?" So I just re-translated it, and tried out an I. "Why are you in the middle of nowhere?!" I think it might be a good addition to the Inkling (Language) page. Oh, and on the left page, I got "tak..." "tak ga" I think it might be a typo of "tako" and says "Octopus..." "The octopus" but for all I know it may as well be a continuity of gibberish to make the pages look more like there's continuity in the dialogue. Alright, welp, that's all from me!! Byeeeeee!!! Edit: if this gets approved for adding, please let me know so I can write it in. Rozelia The Octo06 (talk) 21:04, 15 September 2022 (UTC)


 * @Rozelia The Octo06 Interesting! Feel free to improve the Inkling (language) page with your findings. When it comes to improving the wiki, there are no restrictions or approvals, so be bold and edit the wiki! Heddy (talk) 22:52, 15 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Hi again!! So uh... how do I edit a table?? I kinda wanna try it out, but I uh... don't know how to :( . Edit: Trying to figure it out right now. Rozelia The Octo06 (talk) 06:25, 16 September 2022 (UTC)
 * I recommend using the source editor. Easier to learn the markup that way.--MissDelibirda (talk) 08:23, 16 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Last update (for now)! I followed along with the last submission to the bold script, and now we have a new addition to (Inkling (language) page! If any of this information gets disproved, I 100% will let someone with better info edit it. By the way, feel free to use this section for any more findings on Inkling language.

Im Back
Hi!, Im Back! (again…), Umm I decides to come back because of Splatoon 3 release! Splat635 02:02, 17 September 2022 (UTC)

Hey, I’m glad you’re back! This isn’t really the place to put greetings and things like that in, though. Maybe your user page? Just trying to keep things constructive. Thanks! Clarinet.octo ( talk ) 11:48, 17 September 2022 (UTC)

I have a question for the editors
where did the stage schedule go? I really like to know what stages are in rotation, so that's why I am asking.

also how do you add the reply option?

S3 single player needs help...
I just noticed that a lot of the individual kettle pages for the Return of the Mammalians campaign are either stubs or don't exist. We also need pages for the Alterna Space Center.

Please help me with this - I will work on expanding some of the stubs.

Wgreiving! (talk) 18:04, 18 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Currently, multiple kettle pages list the available weapons as "Hero Shot and Smallfry". In game, this option is simply referred to as Hero Gear. As multiple sub weapons can be selected while equipped with the Hero Gear, this is more accurate. Perhaps a dedicated page should be made to document all the possible upgrades for New Agent 3's Hero Gear. 09:56, 19 September 2022 (UTC)
 * I am creating a few of the individual kettle pages, though I have only made 2, and those are from the zipcaster levels. Randomguy (talk) 01:05, 22 September 2022 (UTC)

Sticker Trivia
Tabulating every single sticker and decoration in will be a monumental task.

My contribution: the PN3CRN sticker is a reference to Hanafuda cards, specifically the Hikari of January (better known as the Crane). 14:29, 20 September 2022 (UTC)

Shiver Fan
Can anyone find a high quality picture of Shiver's fan to add to Shiver's gallery? I think it would a great addition to her page. Rozelia The Octo06 (talk) 03:22, 21 September 2022 (UTC)

Harmony in chirpy chips?
So i was flipping through the art of splatoon 2 (splatoon throwback section) and saw that one of the band members of chirpy chips looked like harmony from splatoon 3. has anyone else noticed this? Cruelty to Salmons (talk) 13:31, 21 September 2022 (UTC)

Super Smash Bros. Page
So i was looking through inkipedia and saw that there was a page about super smash bros? I would replace it with a link to the super smash bros wiki, but i don’t know how to insert links into pages. If someone could fix this or show me how to insert links, that would be very helpful. thanks! Cruelty to Salmons (talk) 15:08, 21 September 2022 (UTC)

Is it a sub ability or a secondary ability?
The terminology used for the randomly-filled slots on gear is very inconsistent across the wiki. Ability uses the term "secondary ability" and provides "sub" as an alternative, but "sub ability" appears on a lot of pages - including Ability itself. Are any of these names confirmed by an official source, and if not, should the terminology used on Inkipedia be standardized? If the latter, what should the standard term be? 08:37, 22 September 2022 (UTC)


 * [The official website] seems to consistently use the term "secondary ability", but as a counterpoint, "main ability" and "primary ability" are used interchangeably. I have not yet been able to find an official source that uses "sub ability" or simply "sub".
 * However, my main issue here is that the terminology is inconsistent, not that it is conjectural. 09:34, 22 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Agreed, and looking at the Splatoon 3 help guides it is consistent in using primary and secondary. As such, I've replaced usages of "sub" with "secondary". 15:52, 24 September 2022 (UTC)

Gameplay vids for S3 story mode
Hello! It's been a while since I have logged on but I do remember that we had gameplay's for the levels in story mode. I was wondering if 1 person records the footage, or if we have a team for walkthroughs. SCP fnf (talk) 13:28, 23 September 2022 (UTC)


 * You should ask Shahar, they own the Inkipedia YouTube channel which uploads those gameplay walkthroughs. Hope it helps! 10:11, 24 September 2022 (UTC)
