Inkipedia talk:Ink Pump

The Ink Pump Welcome to the Ink Pump. Similar to Wikipedia's village pump, the Ink Pump serves as a general place for the Inkipedia community to discuss the wiki as a whole, whether it be ideas, proposals, technical issues, or notices.

Note: for proposals, Ink Pump should only be used for any discussion and brainstorming that precede a proposal; the actual proposal should be created according to the consensus policy, with major changes proposed at Inkipedia:Proposals, and minor changes proposed at the talk page of the relevant policy.

Remember to put new discussion sections at the bottom of the page.

Gameplay videos for Octo Expansion and Return of the Mammalians levels?
I noticed that Splatoon 1 Octo Valley stages have gameplay footage and I was wondering if it should be added to the Octo Expansion and Return of the Mammalians stages too. I just wanted to inquire just in case there was a specific reason that none of them have gameplay. TheYoshiGang (talk) 18:51, 17 November 2023 (UTC)


 * I wondered that too. I asked about it, and Anemoia said,"This might be more suited for Strategy Wiki (walkthroughs are currently being ported there). Unless you mean something completely different." I replied,"Just wondering because some of the Splatoon 1 stages have gameplay videos." They then said,"If you'd like you can help by moving those to the aforementioned wiki. | Here on Trig's page is a quick explanation of how it works. You can cut walkthroughs from Inkipedia pages and paste them on the appropriate Strategy pages. If the Inkipedia pages only have gameplay videos and no written walkthroughs, well... you can write them yourself if you feel like it." Stay Fresh! 15:11, 27 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you, I will try writing some strategies on those pages. I mainly wanted to know because it seemed odd. What about weapon demonstration videos? Are they staying? TheYoshiGang (talk) 16:06, 27 November 2023 (UTC)
 * I hope so. I would make them, but I lack an online membership. Just so you are aware, Inkipedia says that StrategyWiki has pages for Return Of The Mammilians, but they actually don't. The only two that are there were made by me lol. (There is a third incomplete one, that me and Trig worked on.) Just so yknow, you would have a lot of work to do if you wanna complete it. But if you really want to, go right ahead! StrategyWiki does need those pages. Stay Fresh! 17:38, 27 November 2023 (UTC)
 * That does sound interesting, in a few months I will most likely have more chances to work on Inkipedia, so I could probably work on StrategyWiki too, since I am very passionate about Splatoon. TheYoshiGang (talk) 17:51, 27 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Me too! I am super passionate about the game! You should check out my user page! Stay Fresh 18:07, 27 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Btw, if you wanna add weapon demonstrations,(assuming you can access the lobby) You should probably ask whoever is in charge of weapon demonstrations how to do one, like what to show off, because, if you've seen the S1 and S2 ones, you know that there are a list of things they must show off in a specific order. (Like how in S2, they would view the weapon 360, then shoot in front of them until they have no more ink, then attack the dummy etc.) Now fr, Stay Fresh! 17:38, 27 November 2023 (UTC)

How did the datamines for Drizzle Season 2023 got never taken down?
I didn't want to datamine, but the users added a bit of datamines but never got taken any action. Why did this never happen? Is it good to add content hours before it releases? KPOfficial26 (talk) 01:26, 30 November 2023 (UTC)


 * Simply put, not everything manages to get caught. We have editors who try to keep an eye out but sometimes things still slip through the gaps. In future, if you notice leaked content being documented you are more than welcome to revert and/or add deletion notices as necessary, as well as contact the users breaking policy to inform or remind them of said policy. It's not solely something patrollers and admins are in charge of. Hope this helps! Driftin Soul (talk) 01:45, 30 November 2023 (UTC)

Skin is glitched to default Timeless
I accidentally did something that caused the custom Timeless skin to delete on my end. Can you show me how to fix it? KPOfficial26 (talk) 12:49, 3 December 2023 (UTC)


 * I got it back to normal by following the directions on the Timeless page. Thank you for the information. KPOfficial26 (talk) 12:59, 3 December 2023 (UTC)

Big Run Bug
I scored 140 in a big run, but got a bronze decoration, has anyone else had this bug? Wind Waker  (talk) 03:55, 4 December 2023 (UTC)


 * Yes, Nintendo has acknowledged the bug and is working on fixing it.  04:00, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
 * It is a known bug, yes, and there is a patch on the way sometime soon. Driftin Soul (talk) 04:00, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
 * So I confirmed that many others on Reddit had this problem as well, I’ll contact Big N tomorrow Wind Waker Link.jpg S2 Weapon Main Hero Shot Lv. 3.png (talk) 04:04, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
 * You really don't need to, as me and FancyRat said there has already been an upcoming patch announced by Nintendo. Driftin Soul (talk) 05:19, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
