Too bright signature
Hello, your signature is quite hard to see when it's that bright on the default white background. I suggest maybe darkening the color a little bit or use a dark background to brace the brightness. If you want to check how others did their signature you can check talk pages with USERNAME/Sig and how they've done it. Thank you. Shahar (talk) 14:41, 20 July 2022 (UTC)


 * is this one better? so others can see my name more clearly!! (i can change the yellow again if you need me! :-D) Oddlildude  ( talk )[[file:AnemoneNo1.jpg|28px]] 01:51, 21 July 2022 (UTC)

Hello :)
I know that this is definitely not how user talk pages should probably be used, but reading your likes, dislikes, and user tags reminds me of myself and my preferences. :) Have a nice day! ArivakiVA  18:00, 4 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Hi! That's neat that out likes and dislikes are similar. My page needs work but i've just been busy. I think you're fine saying this because user talk pages can be used for chatting. Hope you have a nice day! S3 art 3D Inkling splat.png Oddlildude  ( chat )[[file:S3 Inkling E-liter Scope Render.png|45px]] 18:04, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Alright, thank you! (Again, have an amazing day!) ArivakiVA S2_Gear_Headgear_Golden_Toothpick.png JPTGoldDynamoRoller.png 21:15, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Uh, small question, can I copy your 'this user loves sweets' tag? ArivakiVA S2_Gear_Headgear_Golden_Toothpick.png JPTGoldDynamoRoller.png 21:25, 14 November 2022 (UTC)
 * You are more than welcome to use any of my tags! :D Have a great day. S3 art 3D Inkling splat.png Oddlildude ( chat )[[file:S3 Inkling E-liter Scope Render.png|45px]] 21:34, 14 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Okay, thanks! You have a nice day too! ArivakiVA S2_Gear_Headgear_Golden_Toothpick.png JPTGoldDynamoRoller.png 21:39, 14 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Heyo! Good job absolutely beating me up with the Octobrush a few days ago! (You scared the actual flark out of me, I normally don't get scared. Good job. :,) ) Have a nice day! 19:23, 16 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Oh yeah! You did great with the Splatana. I'm trying to get the Zipcaster badge so that's why I was using the Octobrush. :) I hope you have a nice day as well  19:28, 16 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks! I started maining Splatana recently, so I'm glad my practice is paying off. Good luck getting the Zipcaster badge, have a nice day (again)! 00:22, 17 January 2023 (UTC)

Competitive:Crab Tank
Thank you for contributing to the Strategy pages! Here are some tips to help you become a strategy scribe:
 * While being specific and detailed is nice, remember to be brief . For example, in the Weaknesses section of Infobox for Crab Tank's Strategy page, you can trim the phrase, "There is no part on the back of the tank to protect the player from being splatted" to, "Vulnerable at head and from behind during walker mode"
 * Whenever possible, include sources, especially from top players and content creators. It can take some time, but advice that is backed up by top players and other experts at will be more credible. To get you started, here are some video sources pertaining to Crab Tank (click "edit source" above to copy the source text and understand how they are made):
 * "The ROLE Of EVERY SPECIAL And How To Use Them" by Chara
 * "1 Tip FOR And AGAINST EVERY Splatoon 3 Special" by Chara
 * "Answering Some Key Crab Tank Questions feat. Kiwi & Echo" by Gem of Squid School

 * I am glad I could help with the strategy pages and thank you for your tips. I wasn't sure if I needed be descriptive or brief for the weaknesses and strengths. Thank you for letting me know how I can improve my edits. Pearl 2D.png  Oddlilgoof  ( chat )[[file: Marina 2D.png |19px]] 01:22, 30 December 2022 (UTC)

 * Ayeee!  01:33, 2 January 2023 (UTC)

About those categories
Sick work on categorizing files. I will say, though, that you may want to chill out on it solely because I plan to make some changes soon to the existing File template that will (hopefully) automatically categorize files for us. No pressure to stop, but I want to save you from redundancy when possible. Cheers. Trig - 05:29, 3 January 2023 (UTC)


 * Thank you! I'm glad I could help out with the wiki. I can slow down on categorizing files, I don't want to mess anything up. I hope working with the auto-categorizing template goes well. Have a good day  15:18, 3 January 2023 (UTC)

Oops
Sorry about mis-tagging those user files. I must have just forgotten to set the licence correctly. -DJParticle (talk) 00:15, 27 January 2023 (UTC)


 * You're ok! You just forgot to remove them from the Uncategorized Files category. :)   00:17, 27 January 2023 (UTC)

Alice file
The file will eventually show up properly, MediaWiki is a bit slow on these things. Miss Delibirda (talk) 15:09, 30 January 2023 (UTC)


 * Thank you for letting me know! :) I will keep that in mind.  15:46, 30 January 2023 (UTC)

Question
Hi! So I was wondering, how do you add those little icons next to your name? Sorry! Thanks! Shiver101 00:58, 5 February 2023 (UTC)

The icons next to my name are apart of my signature. inkipedia:Policy/Signatures tells you how to make one :)  01:36, 5 February 2023 (UTC)

user page
Hi again! So for those little bubble text things I like followed all the instructions but it didn't work correctly so do you have any tips? Sorry thanks! Shiver101 19:43, 5 February 2023 (UTC)

I'm not exactly sure why the infobox was messed up. I did fix it for you though. I just copy & pasted the code for mine and then I added your info. :)  20:38, 5 February 2023 (UTC)

little help...
I made Shiver101 a sandbox page but they said that they can't edit it. I'm very unfamiliar with the userspace, so I don't know why this is happening. Could you help out? 21:09, 5 February 2023 (UTC)


 * Yep! :)  21:17, 5 February 2023 (UTC)

User image template no longer
When doing user images, use |meta=user (not type) in direct replacement of using the user image template. Thanks for all the other fixes! Trig - 01:55, 6 February 2023 (UTC)


 * Ok! Thank you for letting me know :)  01:56, 6 February 2023 (UTC)

Autopatrolled status
Hey Oddlilgoof, I added you to the autopatrol group. This means that staff will no longer be required to review your edits. There are no other changes. Users are generally placed in this group when they are active, experienced, and extremely unlikely to breach Inkipedia policy. Let me know if you have any questions, and have fun editing! Heddy (talk) 06:40, 12 February 2023 (UTC)


 * Thank you! I am glad that my edits have been helping Inkipedia :)  06:44, 12 February 2023 (UTC)

Two things
If you've captured the image yourself, use |source=self—not Splatoon 3. We know it comes from Splatoon 3 through the game and description parameters, but the source parameter is more asking the "who's responsible" part of the file: If you're the one who got the file, it should be attributed to you, not the game. The other is that the fairuse template is no longer necessary as it is a part of the File template now. Otherwise, thanks for the help! Trig - 18:15, 12 February 2023 (UTC)


 * I'll keep this in mind next time I upload files. Thank you for correcting my mistakes and letting me know what to do. I really appreciate it! :)  18:31, 12 February 2023 (UTC)


 * I might actually write this out later at some point, but in the scheme of who what when where why and how, the game is the where, the description is the what/how/when, the type is also the what, and the who is the source. The why is wherever the file actually gets used! Might be a different way to think about it to make their purposes clearer. Trig - 18:34, 12 February 2023 (UTC)

Yo!
Happy birthday! I'm a bit early, but I was afraid I'd forget tomorrow. :) 20:47, 14 February 2023 (UTC)


 * Thank you!! It's funny having a birthday after a holiday. It just reminds you that you have one more day left until your birthday :)  20:50, 14 February 2023 (UTC)

Shiver's surname
Hey, you re-added the recently removed surname information on Shiver's article; This surname was removed from that section because as of now, her surname is exclusive to Japanese Splatoon media, and subsequently the Japanese version of Splatoon 3. There's no confirmation that the English versions will list her surname as exactly "Hohojiro". As Inkipedia primarily reflects the NoA localizations, it would be incorrect to list another localization's surname for her anywhere but in the names in other languages section. This is in line with Pearl's page, who has a similar localization-exclusive surname situation. Going forward, please try to double-check if you're adding something that has been previously reverted. Thanks! Yoshifan52 (talk) 19:29, 3 April 2023 (UTC)


 * Sorry! I re-added it because I thought you only removed it from the first part of the article and meant to keep it in the "Early Life" section. I was checking the history of Shiver's page and it didn't show you directly removed the sentence, so I assumed it was removed due to a glitch. Thank you for clarifying this :)  19:33, 3 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Now I see where you removed the information. Next time I'll double check to make sure I'm not adding something that was removed.  19:36, 3 April 2023 (UTC)
 * No worries, thanks for your time! Since the artbook information is a hot topic it's inevitable everyone wants to help update Shiver's page to reflect what it says, that enthusiasm is appreciated. There currently aren't any policy pages in place to explain not to do this exact thing, so I don't blame you for not knowing the surname doesn't belong there. Yoshifan52 (talk) 19:54, 3 April 2023 (UTC)

File template
I see you're creeping through the remaining files list. Awesome! One pointer, don't worry about the Ability charts. There's more to doing those and Heddy and I are gonna take care of em. Just skip em! Thanks for the help! Trig - 13:36, 28 May 2023 (UTC)


 * I'm glad I could help! When I come across the ability charts I'll make sure I skip them. Thanks for the heads up!  13:39, 28 May 2023 (UTC)


 * Every single file on Inkipedia is now using the File template! Thank you for your help! Trig Jegman - 05:17, 31 May 2023 (UTC)

Hey "Oddlilgoof"!
Hey @Oddlilgoof, @Splatter maanz here. I'm just curious, that userbox you have with all you inkling and octoling info is really cool, and I want to use it. Can you tell me what it is? Also, can you give me a list of things to do? Also what are some templates you recommend? I used to use templates galore on my user page on another wiki. Thank you for your time! Sussy e-cigs that taste like smoke (talk) 16:39, 23 June 2023 (UTC)


 * The box that has info about my player is called an Infobox.

Here's some code that you can use for your userpage! Feel free to edit it any way you like :)

{|style="border-spacing: 4px;"

The page Template:SiteColor has what colors you can use for your Infobox!

For templates to use on your userpage, I recommend user boxes. The category for userboxes has a list of templates for specific user boxes. If you want to make your own user box, Template:Userbox has the code for how to make a user box.

If you want to help out the wiki, Inkipedia:Maintenance is a great page to look at! It tells you different things that need done to help improve the wiki.

I would also like to give you a heads up that you need to change your signature. Per Inkipedia's Signature Policy you must have part of your name in your signature so people can easily identify you. If you even want to change your user name, you can fill out and application to do so on Inkipedia:Requests for Rename.

Hopefully this helps you out!! Let me know if you have any questions :)  17:23, 23 June 2023 (UTC)


 * A few other questions. Is my signature okay? Also, how do I add images? Also thank you so much for your time. Also can you give me a list of grammatical errors that need fixing and any links that need to be added in or fixed
 * Thank you! ;) 16:36, 26 June 2023 (UTC)


 * Inkipedia:Policy/Signatures has a step-by-step way to make a signature. Your signature is ok on showing you name, but it needs to link to your userpage.
 * You would write the link like this:


 * $p!@tter m@@nz


 * There is not a list of grammatical errors, but there is a page for Broken File Links. I also forgot to mention, User talk:Trig Jegman/Project Clean-Up is also a great page to see what needs cleaned up!! I'm glad I could help you out :)

18:41, 27 June 2023 (UTC)

How do you add images to your signature? Also, what can I delete?
I noticed a lot of people have images next to their signatures. I assume they use templates, but a lot have custom images. How do I do that? Also, I tried to help by marking a few images that were not linked to anything. Every single change got reverted. Can you tell me why, and also supply me with a list of pages that can be marked for deletion? 18:38, 27 June 2023 (UTC)


 * Your edits probably got reverted because the image may be used or replaced in the near future. I would ask the person who reverted your edits about this. If you want to tell me what images you want on your signature, I'll be happy to help you make a signature :) Unused files is the closest page I could find to a list of files that need deleted. I wouldn't go through marking them all for deletion, make sure you check if they can be used on articles and pages.  18:51, 27 June 2023 (UTC)


 * How do I check if they can be used? Also, I wanted Light Tetra Dualies in my signature. Also, what happened to my name? Can you see, because all I see is the time I added the topic, and that I'm a regular dude. Also, sorry if I'm bugging you! Thank you so much for helping me!
 * - 19:06, 27 June 2023 (UTC)


 * To see if an image can be used, check the file name and (if one is there) the description. Say a page is titled "Crust Bucket Side View.jpg". This image could go on the Crust Bucket page!


 * S3 Badge Light Tetra Dualies 4.png$p!@tter m@@nz (Talk) S3 Badge Light Tetra Dualies 5.png
 * Would this work for your signature? (Also don't worry, you are not bugging me)  19:34, 27 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you so much!!!! How can I ever repay you?!?! 19:06, 28 June 2023 (UTC)
 * You don't need to repay me!! I'm just happy I could help :) I'm glad you like it  19:24, 28 June 2023 (UTC)

Pedantic
I'm not trying to throw you off your game or whatever, but please don't mark files for deletion until the pages are actually saved and there's nothing that links to them. It is just more difficult to manage what needs to go and what is in progress. Otherwise, thanks for the help deaing with those. Trig - 20:58, 27 June 2023 (UTC)


 * I'm so sorry! I marked the redirects for deletion first so I wouldn't forget to do so later. I'll remember to keep the redirect in a separate tab so that I can mark it when I'm all done with fixing the file name on pages. Thanks for telling me :)   21:03, 27 June 2023 (UTC)

How do you add boxes around you signature?
I was noticing that quite a few people had boxes around their signature, and I was just wondering how? Also, thank you so much for helping me make my signature @Oddlilgoof. 18:06, 29 June 2023 (UTC)


 * Are you talking about backgrounds like this?
 * If so just put
 *  YOUR TEXT HERE
 * before the code for your signature on User:Splatter maanz/Sig. Make sure you put   after all the code for your signature. This way the background will stop at the end of your signature. If you search "Sig" and click "Everything" you can view other's signature pages. This way you can look at how they made their signature :)   18:18, 29 June 2023 (UTC)
 * How do you make it square and change text color? 18:55, 29 June 2023 (UTC)

This code should work

 $p!@tter m@@nz talk|contribs

This is what it displays:  $p!@tter m@@nz talk|contribs You can change the color of the text displaying your username in the section that says "YOUR COLOR HERE"  19:17, 29 June 2023 (UTC)


 * Cool! Thank a million! 16:40, 30 June 2023 (UTC)
 * How do you use CSS color styles? What does that mean? When I saw a button that supposedly found all the problems, I clicked it. It claimed I should use "CSS color styles" to make my signature able to work with light/dark skins. 16:51, 30 June 2023 (UTC)
 * I'm not completely sure what CSS color styles are. I would ask someone on Inkipedia's Staff about that. There is no policy that says you have to use CSS color styles, so you should be ok.  17:41, 30 June 2023 (UTC)

uploading a file
hello Odd, I have a question on how to upload a file, when I click edit, and go to the gallery, I press add new image it asks me to search for media, from there how do I upload my image? VioletOcto (talk) 12:26, 6 September 2023 (UTC)


 * Use Special:Upload to do so. The function you are doing is looking for already existing uploads on the wiki. Please make sure you fill out the File template when you do so, of which a guide is located on the page. Trig - 14:05, 6 September 2023 (UTC)

custom user box
I was looking at your user page for inspiration, and I saw your user box this user would never abandon agent 4 and I wanted to replicate it but for agent 8, I did it step by step but it came out a red link can you tell me how to fix it? VioletOcto (talk) 19:46, 8 September 2023 (UTC)


 * It came out as a red link because you wrote {{UserBox at the top instead of {{Userbox
 * All you have to do is make the letter "b" lowercase and it will display the userbox. Hope this helps!! :] {{User:Oddlilgoof/Sig}} 19:53, 8 September 2023 (UTC)
 * I also noticed you wrote
 * Agent 8 from release art.jpg]] instead of Agent 8 from release art.jpg Make sure you get rid of the ]] before the | symbol that way the image will be the correct size. {{User:Oddlilgoof/Sig}} 19:58, 8 September 2023 (UTC)
