Response
Sorry it won't let me reply to you on the welcome note. And there is already a archive for past Inkfest here (https://splatoonwiki.org/wiki/Inkipedia:Inkfest/Archives) Ratch      15:59, 15 February 2023 (UTC)


 * oh sorry, you would have to ask someone else, idk how to archive pages and I think you removed your reply mark on your sig Ratch  S2_Gear_Headgear_Golden_Toothpick.png JPTAerosprayRG.png S3 Badge E-liter 4K 5.png S Weapon Special Inkstrike.png 16:14, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
 * I know what your saying, but sorry i'm not the best to ask I don't know how to archive the old inkfest, try asking on the ink pump or in the Discussions page on the inkfest. And your reply button is not showing up for me, it could be something on my part Ratch  S2_Gear_Headgear_Golden_Toothpick.png JPTAerosprayRG.png S3 Badge E-liter 4K 5.png S Weapon Special Inkstrike.png 16:30, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
 * how do i even remove it? 16:17, 15 February 2023 (UTC)


 * no. I mean for 2022 inkfests. i want to add the 2022 inkfests which are a year old. 16:05, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
 * I know how to archive, but you might need to ask for permission. All you have to do is copy the inkfests from the current page, create a new page called Inkfests/Archive (or something like that) and paste it. Again, you'd need permission, but I hope this helps. 18:27, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Okay thank you... I made the page!

There's no need to ask for permission! -Xando (ping) 18:27, 15 February 2023 (UTC)


 * Really? I just assumed you would need that, because the inkfests page is kind of a big community thing. Thanks! 18:31, 15 February 2023 (UTC)

Line breaks in signatures
I am writing to inform you, that your signatures line breaks and positioning are against the signature policy. Additionally, they seem to prevent the function to reply to you in talk pages by regular means, as the [reply] funktion after comments doesn't show up behind your signature, likely due to the space it takes up. Currently if one wants to reply to your messages, they have to go into edit mode. 07:31, 16 February 2023 (UTC)


 * Okay. I'll fix it. 13:42, 16 February 2023 (UTC)

When sourcing files
Do not use the game name for a file source. That is already covered in |game= and |description= parameters—rather, we need to know *who* the image came from, and the person that can be attributed as the source of the file. If you took it/captured it/ripped it yourself, enter |source=self. Trig - 15:18, 15 March 2023 (UTC)

Cease
Please do not remove the file template from deletion pending files. It is not necessary to do that, and can in some cases be destructive to understanding why a file is being deleted. Furthermore, it removes the public facing licensing acknowledgement which is necessary on every file. Do not continue doing so. Trig - 19:14, 2 May 2023 (UTC)


 * I understand the licensing part, however, about the template part, should images pending being deleted be in categories? I think the only category they should be in is the Pending Deletion category. 19:15, 2 May 2023 (UTC)


 * I don't think it is an issue. Ideally, they aren't going to be deletion pending for an extended period of time, but one could argue that it could help people find files to use on other places instead of deletion outright. Trig - 19:18, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Okay. I also have another question, why does deletion take so long? I've wanted an unused image and sandbox deleted for a while now... and they're still pending deletion. 16:06, 3 May 2023 (UTC)
