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.

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

Adding the missing songs of C-Side
There are at least 2 more songs that have not been added to the wiki. Any ideas? ChromeWolf (talk) 13:22, 14 October 2022 (UTC)


 * If @GX 64 has any information, I will be more than happy to help ChromeWolf (talk) 13:23, 14 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I think the reason that they haven't been added yet is that they don't have names, although some songs have been added that don't have names, such as Chaos Carnival. I am thinking that maybe the part about them in the C-Side page could be extended to include more information. I don't know if the files for them exist yet on Inkipedia. I will check tomorrow.  13:46, 14 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Alright, thank you @GX 64. I'll look into it ChromeWolf (talk) 14:55, 14 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Thinking we should come up with a name?
 * Nintendo I do hope your reading this. Chrome Wolf (talk) 14:36, 23 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Well, there's also the other unnamed Front Roe song, we should also think about adding that one. Octoling E s3 (talk) 23:06, 24 November 2022 (UTC)

Curent stages and stuff
for s2 on the front page we had the current stages snet2 shop and salmon run just wondering if we are adding that back for s3 Particle Zero (talk) 13:23, 14 October 2022 (UTC)


 * I have a feeling those have been added ChromeWolf (talk) 13:24, 14 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Apparently the stages from the previous Splatoon game are already in the lists, not in the Splatoon 3 because they are already in two games, and I believe they just don’t want isn’t to be shown twice. The same goes for Salmon Run NEXT WAVE music.
 * Foes this answer your question, @The octoling girl? Chrome Wolf (talk) 14:49, 23 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Does* Chrome Wolf (talk) 14:50, 23 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Anytime Chrome Wolf (talk) 15:23, 23 October 2022 (UTC)
 * yes, thanks for telling me, @Chrome Wolf.
 * the octoling girl 15:10, 23 October 2022 (UTC)
 * If so, could you tell us where that is? Please and thank you. the octoling girl 00:01, 21 October 2022 (UTC)
 * The SplatNet2 info was hidden on the Main Page to prevent confusion from Splatoon 3 players. If anyone wants to step up and create a Splatoon 3 equivalent for the wiki, they are more than welcome to create it! Heddy (talk) 22:15, 17 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Oh I thought that was something that was a work in progress or going to be added by the admins sometime, because I think a tweet said something about a new main page. Its nice to have some clarity on that. Cruelty to Salmons (talk) 19:01, 19 October 2022 (UTC)

Shiver's gender
Should we remove the article about Shiver's gender, since it's been confirmed? I'm just wondering, because I don't really feel like it's necessary anymore. ArivakiVA (talk) 16:45, 14 October 2022 (UTC)


 * There's an entire article about that? What page are you referring to? Heddy (talk) 22:09, 17 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Oh, oops. I'm dumb. wrong term, sorry! I meant a section, not an article. So sorry! ArivakiVA (talk) 17:14, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
 * It's a section on her character page, I just used the wrong term. Sorry Heddy! I'm just new around here, haha... ArivakiVA (talk) 17:19, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Been there, done that. Chrome Wolf (talk) 14:51, 23 October 2022 (UTC)
 * @ArivakiVA Next time you can just link to it like Shiver by using the wiki code, so that we know what you're talking about.
 * Since this topic does not impact the entire wiki, you should discuss this at Talk:Shiver. There is already plenty of discussion there, just add a new topic specifically about your desired changes to the article. In general, information should not be removed from a wiki unless it is inaccurate or out-of-scope, so you need to have a good reason to remove content, and the majority of editors need to agree with you. So, go to Talk:Shiver to start that discussion. Heddy (talk) 15:10, 23 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you! I was just wondering. ArivakiVA (talk) 23:23, 23 October 2022 (UTC)

How do you create a page?
Sorry, I'm really new here, so I have no idea how most of this stuff works, but how do you create a page? Sorry about this...but thanks. ArivakiVA (talk) 18:14, 14 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Thats actually a good question, i dont know the official way to do it, but if you put whatever the name you want your page to have in the search bar and search it, there should be a pop up that say "create the page "(whatever you searched)" on this wiki!" with a red link to create the page.
 * I highly doubt thats the only way to do it tho. (btw if someone can tell me how to create categories please do) Lake (talk) 19:45, 14 October 2022 (UTC)
 * That is one way to do it. Another is to (when on a page) use WhatLinksHere to type in the page you want to create. This can be done with categories as well, just by entering Category: to the start of the name. An alternate way is by having a broken link (in red) on a page, and then clicking said page to make the page. There is no so called "Create Page" page, though. Trig - 19:58, 14 October 2022 (UTC)
 * You can also create new pages like this https://splatoonwiki.org/wiki/Newpage. Replace Newpage with the page title, and it will say: "There is currently no text in this page. You can search for this page title in other pages, search the related logs, or create this page." click "create this page" you're now creating a new page! Greasy Hot Dog (talk) 16:53, 17 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I really wouldn't create pages unless you know a lot about the subject, but I usually add in missing information, just to help out. ChromeWolf (talk) 12:19, 17 October 2022 (UTC)
 * But welcome to Inkipedia ChromeWolf (talk) 12:20, 17 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you all so much! Honestly, I didn't expect so many replies. But thanks for not making me feel dumb, oof. Have a nice day! :) ArivakiVA (talk) 17:49, 17 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I was asking because I want to make a page regarding Inkfest info for an Inkfest I want to host. ArivakiVA (talk) 17:50, 17 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Okay, I'm having trouble, how do you change the name of a page? I need to change the name of my Inkfest info page. Here's the link if you want to join though. User:ArivakiVA/Chocolate vs. Vanilla ArivakiVA (talk) 18:35, 17 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Never mind, Eminence changed it. Thanks! ArivakiVA (talk) 17:15, 18 October 2022 (UTC)

Splatoon 3 Inkfests?
I saw that some events named “Inkfests” were made time ago by the Inkipedia community but that there are none in a long time, and Idk I think its good to try to start again with these custom splatfes-like events now with Splatoon 3, even if there are Splatfest ocurring, maybe a way to enjoy being part of the Inkipedia Community? Idk it will be something we should think together, don’t ya think?

Platelet✨(talk👌🏻) 23:30, 16 October 2022 (UTC)


 * I think it would be a great idea to start doing the Inkfests again. It would be a great way to make friends across the wiki. They aren’t to hard to do at all. Having three teams might be a challenge though. :) S3 art 3D Inkling splat.png Oddlildude ( chat )[[file:S3 Inkling E-liter Scope Render.png|45px]] 00:38, 17 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Ok @Oddlildude and @Platelet, should we make a page and throw out ideas, or is that something we should do on the discord? I'm not allowed to have discord :(, but maybe someone could throw it out there? People could maybe come up with ideas on discord, vote for it, and then announce it on the wiki tab. And maybe we could have multiple games going on at once, run by different people on the admin/ patroller team. I definitely think we could organize something though! DFTBA, Xandpochondria (talk) 14:37, 17 October 2022 (UTC)
 * then announce it on the wiki tab* I meant the news tab, whoops! Sorry! Xandpochondria (talk) 14:38, 17 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I agree, I am new here and would love to start including myself into thing like this. Anyone have any suggestions??? ;) Octoling E s3 (talk) 00:36, 22 November 2022 (UTC)
 * If you are thinking about that, could we maybe have a Halloween Inkfest? the octoling girl 00:06, 21 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I was actually thinking about hosting my own Inkfest! Currently I just need to make a rules page for it. I'll add the link to the page once I'm finished if you want to join! ArivakiVA (talk) 17:52, 17 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Okey dokey, here's the link, sorry about the name of the page though. Still need to fix it. Fest is called Chocolate vs. Vanilla! User:ArivakiVA/Chocolate vs. Vanilla ArivakiVA (talk) 18:37, 17 October 2022 (UTC)

@Xandpochondria I think if we’re able to make a page for it on the wiki due to some not having discord. Of course the page would need to be marked with the UNOFFICIAL category. Oddlildude ( chat ) 19:12, 17 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Hi there, I have moved your Inkfest page to User:ArivakiVA/Chocolate vs. Vanilla. Pages for Inkfests should be made in the userspace, not in the mainspace. Thanks! 19:19, 17 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Also, if you have any other questions about Inkfests, feel free to contact me or another Inkipedia staff member. 19:22, 17 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you so much! Sorry, I'm kinda new to this, so I didn't know. I'll keep that in mind. Thanks again! ArivakiVA (talk) 19:54, 17 October 2022 (UTC)

Inkfest, anyone? Chocolate vs. Vanilla
Hosting an Inkfest for the first time! I thought this through for a while and finally decided to do it! Here's the link to the page if you want to join/see the rules! Hope I at least get 5 people... :,) Oh, yeah, so sorry for having said I was doing this 3 different times, or something...I just need as many players as I can get. (User:ArivakiVA/Chocolate vs. Vanilla) ArivakiVA (talk) 18:58, 17 October 2022 (UTC)


 * I noticed that you said "North America time", but there are at least 4 different time zones in North America. You should probably say which one. Heddy (talk) 22:27, 17 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Oop, sorry. I forgot about that. I think it's the PDT time zone? (Thanks for telling me!) ArivakiVA (talk) 17:00, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Not gonna lie, didn't think this was the right place to announce the inkfest. :/ ArivakiVA (talk) 17:02, 18 October 2022 (UTC)

where to tell meta and combos
where to put this it's burst bomb combo with level one fizzy indirect or direct and a direct slosh from a curtain meta dominating weapon that may or may not already shoots thru walls this makes it more op FuN StAmPmOmEnT (talk) 19:33, 17 October 2022 (UTC)


 * I don't know whether it's necessary to add combos...maybe if you really want to you should put them in your user sandbox. I just don't think they should be added to an actual page...maybe ask someone on staff? They'll probably know. ArivakiVA (talk) 19:57, 17 October 2022 (UTC)
 * You can add strategy info to the weapon strategy articles. Heddy (talk) 22:08, 17 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I have a suggestion for the seperation Chrome Wolf🐺 (🎙). 17:03, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Thinking about a table for the seperation between indirect and direct impact Chrome Wolf🐺 (🎙). 17:05, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Good idea! ArivakiVA (talk) 19:13, 27 October 2022 (UTC)

SiteColor and S3 weapon icons
08:31, 18 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Maybe a dark outline around the icon. I don’t really like the suggested color. Besnhasthefun (talk) 13:18, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Bringing this back up: Since has badges, we can use the badge icon in place of the current ones. The badge icons are far more legible in our use context. Makendo (talk) 11:40, 17 November 2022 (UTC)



14:11, 18 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Is there a reason why the luna blaster's price is 1200 sheldon licenses ChromeWolf (talk) 16:06, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Its just an example, the Luna blaster is only a single license Besnhasthefun (talk) 16:08, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Oh good. Thanks. I was about to freak out because that was the next weapon I was going to buy ChromeWolf (talk) 13:03, 21 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Okay that's actually pretty funny- (also yes buy the luna, it's actually really good) ArivakiVA (talk) 18:55, 21 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Thx for the advice Chrome Wolf (talk) 14:26, 23 October 2022 (UTC)
 * You are very welcome! (Gotta admit though, that was kinda personal bias.) How are ya liking it so far (if you got it)? ArivakiVA (talk) 17:11, 28 October 2022 (UTC)

Gear tabs
Currently, the tabs at the bottom of pages relating to headgear, clothing, and shoes are organized by amount of stars. This makes sense in the first two Splatoon games because the amount of stars can be changed, but in Splatoon 3, they can be increased, making the organization unhelpful. I think that we should change how they are organized. Besnhasthefun (talk) 11:37, 19 October 2022 (UTC)


 * That was my doing after a discussion with the Discord server, bearing in mind that the gear is listed in order of default stars, so in my opinion, the boxes are still useful for that. But we can consider it! GloverMist (talk) 17:06, 19 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I find this request/suggestion useful, however I do agree with @GloverMist on this one. Chrome Wolf (talk) 15:10, 23 October 2022 (UTC)

Is it just me or is the C-Side music quieter than the other songs?
I feel like it's not just me. What is your take on this? ChromeWolf (talk) 17:46, 19 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Or is this a malfunction ChromeWolf (talk) 17:47, 19 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Do you mean in a wiki file or something, or in-game? Either way, I'll check if you'd like. ArivakiVA (talk) 18:13, 19 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Wiki file. ChromeWolf (talk) 13:08, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you @ArivakiVA for helping. ChromeWolf (talk) 16:04, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
 * You're welcome! ArivakiVA (talk) 16:33, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I wouldn't have known if you hadn't mentioned it, so thank you! ArivakiVA (talk) 16:34, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Anyhow, the audio sounds fine. Thanks for letting me know, though! ArivakiVA (talk) 16:37, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I think it might just be an issue with whatever device you might have been using. ArivakiVA (talk) 16:37, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Ok. Maybe a glitch? I might have accidentally turned down the volume when playing Clickbait. Thank you for the update ChromeWolf (talk) 13:05, 21 October 2022 (UTC)
 * You're welcome! Glad I could help! :) ArivakiVA (talk) 16:30, 21 October 2022 (UTC)

How do you change your username? (not signature)TvT
I should know this by now but oh well Lake (talk) 14:00, 21 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Pretty sure you have to send a request for your username to be changed. I don't know how myself, but you could probably ask someone on staff. :) ArivakiVA (talk) 16:30, 21 October 2022 (UTC)


 * @StormsInTheSkies You can submit a rename request at Inkipedia:Requests for Rename. 16:51, 21 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Are you talking In game? Chrome Wolf (talk) 13:46, 23 October 2022 (UTC)
 * No, they referred to the wiki.
 * Platelet✨(talk👌🏻) 15:53, 23 October 2022 (UTC)

 * Well then ignore me Chrome Wolf🐺 (🎙) 18:55, 23 October 2022 (UTC)

Easter eggs
I found a few, but I want your take/findings on this Chrome Wolf🐺 (🎙) 19:03, 23 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Not sure quite what you are asking. Do you have examples? Where are you trying to put them? Trig - 20:06, 23 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I was thinking about making an Easter eggs tab in the wiki Chrome Wolf🐺 (🎙) 22:37, 23 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Yes I do have a few examples Chrome Wolf🐺 (🎙) 22:37, 23 October 2022 (UTC)
 * A page for easter eggs already exists here, if that's what you were thinking of. 23:07, 23 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Oh! How did I not see that. Thanks Chrome Wolf🐺 (🎙). 23:40, 23 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Also I have some more that I would like to add. Including: laughing statues in Museum D’Alfonsino in S1, the human statue in 3 hammerhead bridge, and the jellyfish painting a picture of the map on a building in Inkbolt Art Academy S3 Chrome Wolf🐺 (🎙). 23:44, 23 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Is it ok to add these in there? Chrome Wolf🐺 (🎙). 00:23, 24 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Yup! It’s totally fine! If you want to add them, you can. Jacobearth (talk) 00:50, 24 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Great thankd Chrome Wolf🐺 (🎙). 01:38, 24 October 2022 (UTC)

Rating
Considering how hard After Alterna is, do you think we should add a difficulty rating? Chrome Wolf🐺 (🎙). 02:14, 29 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Well I guess that’s a good idea, but because of all the skill differences and blah blah blah, maybe we shouldn’t, and with different weapons too. Also I’m pretty sure you were meant to post that in the Alterna page. Welp that’s my thoughts. Glitch♩ink (talk) 08:02, 29 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I was thinking of all of the hero mode (including Octo expansion) levels have a rating from 1 to 5 stars. Chrome Wolf🐺 (🎙|20px, 🗂). 13:25, 29 October 2022 (UTC)
 * But I don’t know what the admin thinks about this. Chrome Wolf🐺 (🎙, 🗂). 16:57, 29 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I love the idea, however difficulty is generally an opinion. Like I know some people who struggled with the OE Octo Oven but I beat it first try. I agree with Glitch that you should bring that up on the Alterna page, and maybe someone there can give you a sure answer. 19:07, 29 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Ok. Thanks for letting me know. 🙏 S3 Murch Render.png Chrome Wolf S3 Big Man Render.png (🎙, 🗂). 22:02, 1 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Ok. Thanks for letting me know. S3 Murch Render.png Chrome Wolf S3 Big Man Render.png (🎙, 🗂). 22:02, 1 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Please remember that the ink pump is for discussing site-wide improvements, and that improvements to a specific page should be discussed in that page’s talk page. Thanks. Cruelty to Salmons (talk) 17:33, 29 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Inkipedia should only contain facts, not opinions. Since a difficulty rating would be an opinion, it doesn't belong in an Inkipedia article. Heddy (talk) 00:46, 7 November 2022 (UTC)

Should we Have a Page for all Splatoon Lore and/or fan Speculations and Predictions?
So that all lore could be recorded in one spot so that you can see what events connect to each other. Wind Waker (talk) 14:46, 29 October 2022 (UTC)


 * I don’t think that’s a good idea. This wiki is about Splatoon facts, and very little lore. Fan speculation isn’t really necessary. 15:07, 29 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Agreed, unless lore counts as Easter eggs.
 * Do they count? Chrome Wolf🐺 (🎙, 🗂). 15:13, 29 October 2022 (UTC)
 * No, lore is a separate thing made mostly by fans 15:24, 29 October 2022 (UTC)
 * We’ll maybe not fan speculations then and just the actual story, instead of searching through tons of pages to find out about all the events and how they connect. Wind Waker (talk) 17:37, 29 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Actually, I dont think its a good idea to have a page about lore because its not “official”, the pages that covers that functions are the Sandbox and maybe the Blogs. You can make a page named “User:Wind Waker/Splatoon Lore” or something like that, that page would be completely yours and there you are able to add everything you want (at least everything that respects the Inkipedia Policy). Platelet✨(talk👌🏻) 21:01, 29 October 2022 (UTC)
 * From what i've experienced, lore is more facts and not fan-made or anything. Maybe the term is used wrong, but I've used the word lore for canon.
 * Xandpochondria S3_Badge_Toni_Kensa_100.png 00:19, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
 * That's true, but people can have different opinions on if a part of lore is true or not, since it might not be outright stated in official sources. 01:14, 3 November 2022 (UTC)


 * I think that this a great idea. the octoling girl 15:03, 29 October 2022 (UTC)

Uploading images from phone
Uh, how exactly do you make a file name for something from my phone? I'm also confused about the 'destination filename' part...sorry if this is a dumb question, I've just never done this before. Thanks for putting up with my dumb questions, everyone! ArivakiVA  02:00, 30 October 2022 (UTC)


 * The destination filename is what the file will be called on the wiki. By default it is what the file is called on your phone, but you should replace it with one that describes the file better.  02:59, 30 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I have had the exact same problem before. When I was trying to upload my screen recording of my Smallfry singing. I just named it Smallfry sing.mov or whatever Chrome Wolf🐺 (🎙, 🗂). 14:07, 30 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Okay, thanks @Chrome Wolf and @GX 64! I appreciate the help! ArivakiVA S2_Gear_Headgear_Golden_Toothpick.png JPTGoldDynamoRoller.png 20:16, 30 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Okay, so I just figured out that my phone is too ancient to actually upload photos, so I guess I'll have to try uploading them from my switch again..... ArivakiVA S2_Gear_Headgear_Golden_Toothpick.png JPTGoldDynamoRoller.png 17:27, 1 November 2022 (UTC)
 * If your trying to figure out how to send photos from switch, go to your photos, then to your selected photo, then “send to Smartphone”, then you will get two QR codes, the first one is to connect to switch Wi-Fi (I believe), and the second goes to the link containing your photo/recording. I do believe GX 64 has talked about this in a Main Page, but I am not entirely sure. S3 Murch Render.png Chrome Wolf S3 Big Man Render.png (🎙, 🗂). 23:34, 1 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks! It's just that my phone is old so I've been having trouble with the second QR code. ArivakiVA S2_Gear_Headgear_Golden_Toothpick.png JPTGoldDynamoRoller.png 17:18, 2 November 2022 (UTC)

Inkling Language (Alterna Edition)
Seeing as how we have the Alterna script done, I'd like to say I think I made a discovery, but I don't have a full grip on what it says. So there's a sign in the end sequence of the main story, one of those little areas reminiscent of Octo Expansion's weapon select area (ah who am I kidding that whole campaign is based off of OE). It's the sign that looks like a warning, with a graphic of a person on it. It says some gibberish, but then it says "I wunt you fyr fluwh to moom". I'm assuming it says something like "I want you for fly to moon" but I don't really know. I would use an image but I don't have a capture card to show. I'm going to replay the end sequence to find some more stuff. Happy Splatoween btw! Rozelia The Octo06 (talk) 00:50, 1 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Well I’m pretty sure you can transfer a screenshot to a smart device if you want to
 * and that is pretty cool happy splatoween too even tho it was yesterdayGlitch♩ink (talk) 05:53, 1 November 2022 (UTC)
 * I might have noticed that. Sounds like what it was saying was “I want you to fly to the moon” S3 Murch Render.png Chrome Wolf S3 Big Man Render.png (🎙, 🗂). 22:00, 1 November 2022 (UTC)

Using Pronouns instead of Genders
Hello all! I was reading through old talk/discussion pages when I came across Shiver's. (https://splatoonwiki.org/wiki/Talk:Shiver) @Slate had the idea to use pronouns instead of gender. Although there aren't characters that use pronouns other than their specified gender, it would be helpful in the future for if, or hopefully when there are characters who have pronouns other than he or she. Please, respond with your thoughts! Xandpochondria 00:13, 4 November 2022 (UTC)


 * It seems a bit less formal for a wiki, in my opinion. I mean, it's okay, but only if characters with other pronouns show up. That's just my opinion though. ArivakiVA S2_Gear_Headgear_Golden_Toothpick.png JPTGoldDynamoRoller.png 16:48, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
 * I say, no. It’s hard for that not to come across rude, because I don’t mean to be rude. Wind Waker (talk) 17:31, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
 * I don’t believe that would be necessary. Pronounced are preferences on how people want to be called, but I doubt it is needed on fictional characters. Dabbing-ChromeWolf.jpg Chrome Wolf S3 Big Man Render.png (🎙, 🗂). 16:14, 5 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Ok. I never really thought through what it would look like, just had the idea. Thanks for the constructive feedback! Xandpochondria S3_Badge_Toni_Kensa_100.png 21:45, 6 November 2022 (UTC)

Has it Been Confirmed who the “Prophet” was in the Alternea Logs?
I got no clue. Wind Waker (talk) 21:01, 4 November 2022 (UTC)

 * Check where? It’s not in the wiki, but I dunno if Big N said anything Wind Waker (talk) 21:54, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
 * No it has not been confirmed so far Dabbing-ChromeWolf.jpg Chrome Wolf S3 Big Man Render.png (🎙, 🗂). 16:15, 5 November 2022 (UTC)

 * Ya, I’ve gotten all the logs already, I just didn’t know if it was like a Tartar situation where they didn’t tell who the “professor “ was ingame, but announced later that it was Judd’s owner kinda thing. Wind Waker (talk) 12:38, 7 November 2022 (UTC)
 * After doing some research on it, (cuz I can’t seem to beat After Alterna), still has not been confirmed in any of the logs, including log.exe. Dabbing-ChromeWolf.jpg Chrome Wolf S3 Big Man Render.png (🎙, 🗂). 14:34, 6 November 2022 (UTC)

New template?
Should we create a template for a salmon run infobox? I mean, we already have one for Splatoon 3 and the Octo expansion. 23:16, 6 November 2022 (UTC)


 * We could! I'll try to if everyone agrees (and if I can find out how). I don't think it should take too long. ArivakiVA S2_Gear_Headgear_Golden_Toothpick.png JPTGoldDynamoRoller.png 19:03, 7 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks! That would make things a lot easier in the future when more Salmon Run content is released (i.e, new stages, Big Run, etc.). 21:52, 7 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Ok, I'll just let you know now, it'll probably take a week or two...but I also have a really dumb question that I probably should've asked before accepting the job, what exactly do you mean by a Salmon Run infobox? Like, how is it different from any other infobox? Just asking, I'll probably be able to figure it out though. Thanks for the suggestion though! ArivakiVA S2_Gear_Headgear_Golden_Toothpick.png JPTGoldDynamoRoller.png 18:01, 8 November 2022 (UTC)
 * You know how Splatoon 3 infoboxes all share the same color, right. Well I think that we should create a template/new color infoboxes universally so that all salmon run pages will have the same color instead of just sharing their color with the Splatoon 3 infobox templates. 19:24, 8 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Oh, alright! Thank you for elaborating, and I'll make the template as soon as I can. (And I'll let you know when I'm finished!) ArivakiVA S2_Gear_Headgear_Golden_Toothpick.png JPTGoldDynamoRoller.png 19:38, 8 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you so much! 23:04, 8 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Wait real quick, I think that there is not a necessary specific template for each color of infobox, instead there is site colors. I.E, there is an S3 site color for Splatoon 3. I could probably talk to an admin about adding a salmon run site color. Thank you for trying to help though! 01:19, 9 November 2022 (UTC)
 * ‘necessarily, not necessary. Sorry if that confused you. 01:22, 9 November 2022 (UTC)

Killer Wail 5.1 Card
I noticed that the Killer Wail 5.1 card was incorrect(see Tableturf Battle trivia for full details), so I put that into the trivia section. Is that ok? Thank you! Ink Me Up! (talk) 15:46, 14 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Seems fine! The subject itself counts as trivia. ArivakiVA S2_Gear_Headgear_Golden_Toothpick.png JPTGoldDynamoRoller.png 18:43, 14 November 2022 (UTC)
 * I do not think it is related trivia-wise.
 * I took a look at it, then at the list of cards, it has no problems, the illustrations are in the correct slots.

 * No, I mean the card art was wrong. The card is in the correct place, I was just wondering if it counted as trivia. Ink Me Up! (talk) 22:16, 14 November 2022 (UTC)
 * What I mean is, the original card art was wrong. You have it archived and the illustrations are in the right places, but the original card art, the one the developers made, is incorrect. The Sloshing Machine's special is the Booyah Bomb, not the Killer Wail 5.1. I'm sorry if I made some confusion. Ink Me Up! (talk) 22:25, 14 November 2022 (UTC)

This is a known issue. It impacts all pages with a "/" in the title, such as "User:Chrome Wolf/Sandbox". The webmaster is researching possible fixes, but don't expect a fix soon.

For now, please use the source editor for all pages with a "/" in the title.

Or just use the source editor for everything, that's what I have always done! It's possible to completely disable VisualEditor in your account settings. Heddy (talk) 20:41, 19 November 2022 (UTC)

Are bullet points automatically put at the start of trivia sentences ?
Sorry, I'm kind of new to inkipeadia, are bullet points automatically put at the start of trivia sentences?

Hurray (talk) 16:52, 24 November 2022 (UTC)


 * It doesn't add it automatically, but there's a button at the top between the 'cite' and 'insert' buttons, which will let you add bulleted and numbered lists. Hope this helps! Ryaan (talk) 17:04, 24 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Or if you are using the source editor (like I do), you can add an asterisk (*) and it will come out like this:
 * The Tri-Stringer is a new weapon added in Splatoon 3.
 * And a double asterisk (**) put after the first bullet point will give you this:
 * The Splatana Wiper is a middleweight Splatana.
 * The Splatana Stamper is it’s heavyweight variant.

Should we merge Salmon Run and Salmon Run Next Wave?
As it currently stands, I'm not sure if there's a reason to keep these pages separate. While changes were made between games, functionally I feel it's more apt to describe it as the same mode, with additional content. After all, other game modes (such as Splatfest and pretty much every Ranked mode) have seen adjustments between games. The "Salmon Run Next Wave" name, as far as I can tell, is exclusively used in promotional material, and in-game the mode is referred to simply as Salmon Run -- it's more likely that "Next Wave" is more meant to signify "Salmon Run is back, and bigger than ever!" more than that this is a new mode outright.

Besides that, I just think merging the pages would streamline the reading experience! "The Steelheads are Boss Salmonids that appear in Salmon Run and Salmon Run Next Wave in Splatoon 2 and Splatoon 3." feels way clunkier to me than "The Steelheads are Boss Salmonids that appear in Salmon Run in Splatoon 2 and Splatoon 3."

 * I think this is a wonderful idea and am totally onboard. No further comments. Xan  S2_Brand_Toni_Kensa.png 02:51, 1 December 2022 (UTC)
 * I think they could be on the same page, but should be split from the two games. ChromeWolfOC.png ℂ𝕙𝕣𝕠𝕞𝕖 𝕎𝕠𝕝𝕗 ChromeWolf logo.jpg (🎙) 13:02, 1 December 2022 (UTC)


 * Oh absolutely, it'd be formatted something like the Splatfest page where it has different sections for the different games, I think! Obviously there are still differences between the games that should be documented! WayslideCool (talk) 18:59, 1 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Sounds good to me! I'm in.  ArivakiVA    S2_Gear_Headgear_Golden_Toothpick.png JPTGoldDynamoRoller.png S3 Badge Classic Squiffer 5.png #3a0ccd talk #3a0ccd 19:55, 1 December 2022 (UTC)
 * I disagree with this idea. SR and SRNW are different enough to be on separate pages, not merged together. Although SRNW is still salmon run, it has too many changes to merge both salmon run pages together. 01:20, 7 December 2022 (UTC)

How do I start?
Hi! im new here and I want to help with some competitive strategies, but how and where should I put them, like telling people how if you throw a sprinkler next to the rainmaker shield it will continue to run even when the shield is over it allowing it to take out the shield very quickly.

 * You should probably put that under the competitive strategy page for the sprinkler. Here's a link to the competitive weapon strategy pages so you can get started! Weapon strategy Hope this helps, and I can't wait to see what strategies you add!

What's wrong with the damage stat on the main weapon pages?
I check this wiki every now and then for random info, mostly badges or new weapon stats. I noticed today that the damage stat is listed incorrectly on a lot (all?) of the main weapon pages. The Aerospray is listed as doing 10 damage while it actually does 24 in game. Splattershot Nova does 24 damage, but is listed as doing 20. I attempted to correct them but they were undone almost immediately with a note that just said "misinterpreted" but no explanation. I'm not stupid am I? Does the damage stat mean something else on this wiki? Because I have looked all over every page I could to try and find what that number means, but it doesn't say anywhere. Could someone explain what that's actually supposed to be, and why this wiki is set up like this? Because it's misleading and (apparently) I keep giving out misinformation when I reference the numbers here. Wynton (talk) 22:11, 6 December 2022 (UTC)


 * Hi there. The reason for this confusion is that the table's bars are ment to mimic the in-game stats bars (Press ZL on a weapon while in the equip menu (plus while in Ammo Knights)), not the weapon's actual damage output (they are usually shown on the table or in the article's data sections. Hope this clears everything up. Stay fresh!  22:30, 6 December 2022 (UTC)
 * That's fun aesthetically I guess, but if that's the case then shouldn't the #/100 numbers not be there? And shouldn't the base damage stat not be hidden away in some easily missable bullet point in a different section? And shouldn't there be an explanation of that anywhere on inkipedia? Just feels like there wasn't a ton of thought put into that, the intention was more about matching what the game looks like, which is pointless anyway because the little bars in-game are practically useless. This might seem dumb tbh but I would assume the most important number people look for is how much damage something actually does, and for like 3 months I didn't use the Aerospray because I thought it did 10 damage/hit.
