Question about prefrences
How do you change it so it doesn't say something like Hi my name is User A (March 5,2021 7:24 UTC) How do I make it not display the time? 18:43, 8 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Just use 3 tildes, instead of 4 ex> Squid400 (talk)

TEST: Okay it works. Thank you so much @Squid400 (talk)

S3 gear navbox
Now that we've identified some returning gear in s3, is it okay if I make a navbox for it? I mean, we have one for weapons, so why not gear as well? I have the thing ready and my cursor is over the save button, but I wanted to know what yall think before I click it. 19:40, 10 April 2021 (UTC)

In my opinion, we should wait until splatoon 3 comes out. For the time being put the Gear as a section under the Splatoon 3 navbox. However, like most things, I can't really talk about this because I am not an admin soooo.

Sorry, I should've been more specific on how im organizing it. Im organizing it into 3 categories; clothing, headgear, and shoes. I couldn't really organize them by rarity since we dunno if any rarities have changed, and making individual navboxes for said categories would be too small, at least in my opinion. 19:52, 10 April 2021 (UTC)

ya know what nvm. I agreee with you, yaxops. 20:11, 10 April 2021 (UTC)

Possible Minifest!
I was looking at the other minifests, and was interested in hosting one! My idea is Salmonids vs Octarians, but I would need an opinion. And a page for it, which I'll make if it gets to that point. 12:18, 13 April 2021 (UTC)

I think that's a great idea for n inkfest! If you host I'll be the first to join!

Thanks for the Support @Yaxops! I'll get to working on the page now! 13:05, 13 April 2021 (UTC)

Alright, It's done! Click Here for the details! Anyone is welcome! 14:05, 13 April 2021 (UTC)

Do I add this minifest right away, or should I wait until more people join? Just curious. 14:25, 13 April 2021 (UTC)

Adding it would help get more members so PLEASE do.

I did it! Thanks for helping so much and voting, Yaxops! 14:49, 13 April 2021 (UTC)

Actually, I think I might be free on the 24th this month. It might be the most recent I can do, given that I also have theater classes and a vacation planned that same week... 14:56, 13 April 2021 (UTC)

E3 Soon! Splatoon 3 news?
So I recently found out that E3 2021 will be happening soon (apparently in the form of a livestream, so watch out for that) (click here for more info), and I just wanted to talk about the possibility for more news on S3. I think that we'll probably get another trailer as well as a window for a release date if we get any info at all, but that's just speculation. What do you think they'll show for s3? 20:26, 13 April 2021 (UTC)

Please keep discussions like this for discord.

I think that is correct. 12:22, 15 April 2021 (UTC)

Newbie needs help
Alright so I've been surfing the internet and I can't figure out how to display my stats on the side of the page. I've seen others do it and it's annoying how I can't figure it out. Anyone can help me? TheBeast (talk) 12:52, 16 April 2021 (UTC)

@TheBeast Try viewing the source of some pages(don't copy them though). Also a lot of useful information can befound in the Ink pump archives here

Splatoon Island
Should the fake splatoon island thing be in rumors and leaks busted catagory? 00:18, 18 April 2021 (UTC)

No, it shouldn’t. It was a 2019 April Fools joke, as pointed out at the end of it’s quote-unquote “trailer” and upload date. So it is considered fandom and non-canon. P.J. GT (talk) 00:35, 18 April 2021 (UTC)

OK. 01:41, 19 April 2021 (UTC)

Minigames?
So I'm new to inkipedia (so you probably dont know me) and I'd like to propose we do minigames. I actually have some ideas like Roller Reem, where you are only allowed to use rollers and brushes; Hide and seek, hiders are alpha team and they use chargers and the seekers are the bravo team who use any kind of blaster (clash blaster, luna blaster, etc). So maybe people could fit the minigames into Inkfests or something so people could use like half an hour to rolling over others. Please consider the idea. 𝕋𝕙𝕖𝔹𝕖𝕒𝕤𝕥 (talk) 17:52, 19 April 2021 (UTC)
 * @TheBeast We already have Inkfests, which can be just competitive Private Battles or custom splatfests. 18:06, 19 April 2021 (UTC)
 * You can also add your Minigame ideas in the Blog:Fan modes. (At least i think you can) ChessMaster   [TALK]  18:13, 19 April 2021 (UTC)

Thanks! I'll check it out ChessMaster! 𝕋𝕙𝕖𝔹𝕖𝕒𝕤𝕥 (talk) 22:52, 19 April 2021 (UTC)

New community page idea
As many of you know, the Splatoon series contains a BEAKFUL of lore (pun intended), and with the recent reveal of Splatoon 3, speculation and theories are all up for debate. Because of this, I wanted to make a page dedicated to all of these theories that people have come up with. I imagine it to be like ink pump, but for discussing theories and lore instead of how the wiki should function and who's hosting what. I imagine that it would be called something along the lines of "Ink theories and specs-ulation". Please, tell me what you all think! 16:10, 20 April 2021 (UTC)

I like it! I watch a lot of Splatoon theories (Mainly the Game Theory one and Lockstin & Gnoggin), but there are still a lot of other ones out there. However, we should confirm on the page it may be on that they are all theories and not confirmed to be canon (Some of them, anyway). 16:59, 20 April 2021 (UTC)

Yeah, we'll have to make a template for that. 17:00, 20 April 2021 (UTC)

Making a "Lore" category would be honestly really good to cover since we really only have lore bits in Trivia sections. Timewip2020 (talk) 17:15, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
