Private battle
Excuse me, ik this is old but me User:CherryAudino75, User:ChessMaster, User:OctoKing, and User:Pinezapple played last week on a Private battle-- 05:53, 23 February 2021 (UTC)
 * That sounds like a random play session and not an event. This page is for advertising organized events with 5 or more Inkipedia users participating. If you create an event with that criteria, feel free to add it. Heddy (talk) 02:21, 14 April 2021 (UTC)

Format change
I changed the format of the page, to make it look pretty. I thought about making it a table, but I decided to go with a grid to allow images to shine! Is everyone happy with the new format? Heddy (talk) 06:54, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm happy with the new format. I'd just change the example image to something else that better resembles two teams against each-other. Maybe like two sides with grey questions from Salmon Run or something similar. Shahar (talk) 09:43, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Feel free to change it to any other image! Heddy (talk) 23:16, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
 * I love the new format! It looks very nice and organized! :D ChessMaster   [TALK]  13:45, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
 * I agree with ChessMaster, it looks way neater now, and the images definitely stand out! 17:11, 24 April 2021 (UTC)

Is the participants list wanted? Is it cluttering the page? If we want, we can remove it from this page, and people could still view that information on each event's page. Participants are not so important to mention here, I think. Heddy (talk) 02:23, 27 April 2021 (UTC)
 * If we are doing it, maybe have like a dropdown box so then it looks less cluttered? I think Participants are not neccasary if it is already listed on the Inkfest Page. ChessMaster   [TALK]  13:02, 27 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Yes, a scrollable or expandable box would be good to reduce clutter, but that's only necessary if there is demand for participants to be listed here. For now I have removed them, but I have no problem with them being added back if someone feels they should be included. Of course, they will always be listed on the event's page, and the purpose of Inkipedia:Inkfest is to just advertise and list events, so I really believe it is overkill to have participants listed.

I think the format change is great! It makes it look like more of a way to browse inkfest's rather then just a list. Thank you!

Minifest Mayhem. Should we do something about this?
As most of you may know, there's been a recent surge of minifests coming in, with May becoming completely booked within a week! I've seen many people forced to reschedule their fests because of people scheduling different fests on the same day. I feel we should do something about this, such as putting a limit on the number of minifests that can take place per month. Does anyone else feel the same way, or have a different plan? 16:17, 11 May 2021 (UTC)


 * I agree, there should be a limiter.-- 16:27, 11 May 2021 (UTC)
 * You said that May is "completely booked", but I see many days in May without an event. I don't see a problem. Heddy (talk) 11:25, 12 May 2021 (UTC)
 * @Heddy When I say "May is booked" I mean that May's weekends are booked. If you look at the dates in which the minifests take place, they're mostly on the weekends because that's when most people have the time to do other activities besides from work or school. 19:36, 12 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Let's say you got two weddings on the same day, you can 1) Go to one of them or 2) Start in one and go to the other later. I don't see a problem with events overlapping. Shahar (talk) 11:37, 12 May 2021 (UTC)
 * @Shahar Ok. Good point, but let's say these weddings are an hour apart from each other. Like you said, you could just go to one and go to the other later, but what if they take place at the same general time? Or what if something pops up, and you can't make it to the other? Or what if there's three different weddings on the same day, and you have other things to do? That's when we start to have problems. Plus, minifests usually take a while, so it's kind of hard to go to multiple on the same day, anyways. 19:49, 12 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I guess the main problem is that people are nice and they don't want to take other people's days. Also people have them on a Saturday because those are the days when people have free time and have nothing to do. I do say that there is a surge, but I think it's fine. (I actually like it because I love Minifests). As someone who had their Minifest delayed because of it, I still feel good about how it is right now.
