how about we also show Splatoon 1 stages
example: turf war: now: blackbelly skatepark 8:00-12:00 camp triggerfish 8:00-12:00 Later: ancho-v games 12:00-4:00 flounder hieghts 12:00-4:00

Ranked battle: Now: pirahna pit 8:00-12:00 Bluefin Depot 8:00-12:00 later: Port Mackerel 12:00-4:00 Kelp Dome 12:00-4:00


 * It's no longer possible to show Splatoon 1 stage rotations, since there's no longer a source of real-time rotation data (as Nintendo shut down the original SplatNet service for Splatoon 1 on September 30, 2017). --Kaioora (talk) 19:34, 27 January 2019 (UTC)


 * What about somebody logging onto Splatoon and writing down the details of the stages? eleven 2 3  ( talk ) 23:15, 15 February 2019 (UTC)


 * There is a bot on twitter that uploads Splatoon 1 maps in real time (see @Splatoon1Maps) but I have no idea how it works, and I don't know if it's able to show future rotations. Nonetheless, if someone here wants to contact the owner of the bot and see if we can get something working on the wiki, that may be helpful? ShinyCelesteela (talk) 01:39, 16 February 2019 (UTC)

Real-life references in Octo Expansion levels
You might already have noticed, but the stations in the Octo Expansion have references to real-life toys and other stuff. My idea was to put these references in the trivia section of each station's page, but I don't recognize most by name. I've found a Splatoon fan that named all these references, but unfortunately, they are in Japanese, and I can't understand it. So my question is, can someone read Japanese and give the English name of these references, or does someone recognize them by name? I leave the link to this fan's twitter post below. https://twitter.com/onomatopoeia_gj/status/1009283213083095040 Islar74 (talk) 12:41, 7 February 2019 (UTC)

French Inkipedia needs more articles
French Inkipedia has 93 articles, I feel like adding some more, but I don't know French. Is there an English/French person that can help edit the website? eleven 2 3 ( talk ) 23:10, 15 February 2019 (UTC)
 * It's up to French speakers to add content to Inkipédia if they desire. This is none of our concern, as we are not French speakers. Heddy (talk) 15:30, 16 February 2019 (UTC)

Notice board problem
It doesn't redirect to the page that marks it as read. I don't have this problem anymore, which is weird. 06:28, 20 February 2019 (UTC)
 * I had that for a while when I first joined too, it just fixed itself. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Splattersky (talk) 08:21, 20 February 2019 (UTC)

Something new that we could test
We could create a page that is sort of like Ink Pump, but for suggestions, and maybe some unknown trivia. Here are some examples: Suggestion & Trivia. 06:14, 20 February 2019 (UTC)

Do we not mention notable people/players on the wiki?
So while I was out on the internet, I saw this one video about the world's angriest Splatoon 2 Player that goes by the name of, "Putz12" and I'm curious if we cover notable people/players on this wiki. I'm not planning on writing a page about the guy, I'm just curious. AsrielTheInkling (talk) 07:19, 23 February 2019 (UTC)


 * Bit defunct, but see the Notability Policy. 11:25, 23 February 2019 (UTC)

I don't believe he's on any team. I've only watched one video about him. Putz12 is a Live Streamer on Twitch.tv and I don't know about him playing the First Splatoon. I have read the page and I understand. Thanks! AsrielTheInkling (talk) 15:19, 23 February 2019 (UTC)

Weapons ranking
I think it's really good to get multiple opinions when figuring out your weapons, so here's a ranking of them for those who are new to the game (or maybe are just searching for a new weapon). Really informative, worth the read.

Murch & Sean ability tips
I have a few ideas about what to do with the tips (when they come out):
 * We could put each tip in a quote section
 * We could put it in the trivia
 * We could put it in the description, with some words omitted
 * If one of the sentences was 'I like cake and chocolate cake' we could omit 'cake and'.

April Fools...?
If I leave the page alone for too long, a GIF plays in the background for a few seconds. Is this an April Fool's prank, or is someone messing around? A Random Pencil (talk) 17:53, 1 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Judd's just excited for April Fools, that's all. 18:45, 1 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Permanent link to the page? 🤔 06:36, 2 April 2019 (UTC)
