Sig
Please change your sig so it fits within guidelines. Your picture is 40 pixels and it needs to be equal to or less than 30. Check Inkipedia:Policy/Signatures for more.

Response
Sorry it won't let me reply to you on the welcome note. And there is already a archive for past Inkfest here (https://splatoonwiki.org/wiki/Inkipedia:Inkfest/Archives) Ratch      15:59, 15 February 2023 (UTC)


 * oh sorry, you would have to ask someone else, idk how to archive pages and I think you removed your reply mark on your sig Ratch  S2_Gear_Headgear_Golden_Toothpick.png JPTAerosprayRG.png S3 Badge E-liter 4K 5.png S Weapon Special Inkstrike.png 16:14, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
 * I know what your saying, but sorry i'm not the best to ask I don't know how to archive the old inkfest, try asking on the ink pump or in the Discussions page on the inkfest. And your reply button is not showing up for me, it could be something on my part Ratch  S2_Gear_Headgear_Golden_Toothpick.png JPTAerosprayRG.png S3 Badge E-liter 4K 5.png S Weapon Special Inkstrike.png 16:30, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
 * how do i even remove it? 16:17, 15 February 2023 (UTC)


 * no. I mean for 2022 inkfests. i want to add the 2022 inkfests which are a year old. 16:05, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
 * I know how to archive, but you might need to ask for permission. All you have to do is copy the inkfests from the current page, create a new page called Inkfests/Archive (or something like that) and paste it. Again, you'd need permission, but I hope this helps. 18:27, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Okay thank you... I made the page!

There's no need to ask for permission! -Xando (ping) 18:27, 15 February 2023 (UTC)


 * Really? I just assumed you would need that, because the inkfests page is kind of a big community thing. Thanks! 18:31, 15 February 2023 (UTC)

Line breaks in signatures
I am writing to inform you, that your signatures line breaks and positioning are against the signature policy. Additionally, they seem to prevent the function to reply to you in talk pages by regular means, as the [reply] funktion after comments doesn't show up behind your signature, likely due to the space it takes up. Currently if one wants to reply to your messages, they have to go into edit mode. 07:31, 16 February 2023 (UTC)


 * Okay. I'll fix it. 13:42, 16 February 2023 (UTC)

When sourcing files
Do not use the game name for a file source. That is already covered in |game= and |description= parameters—rather, we need to know *who* the image came from, and the person that can be attributed as the source of the file. If you took it/captured it/ripped it yourself, enter |source=self. Trig - 15:18, 15 March 2023 (UTC)


 * ok 15:19, 15 March 2023 (UTC)

Signature test

Cease
Please do not remove the file template from deletion pending files. It is not necessary to do that, and can in some cases be destructive to understanding why a file is being deleted. Furthermore, it removes the public facing licensing acknowledgement which is necessary on every file. Do not continue doing so. Trig - 19:14, 2 May 2023 (UTC)


 * I understand the licensing part, however, about the template part, should images pending being deleted be in categories? I think the only category they should be in is the Pending Deletion category. 19:15, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Removin' them from categories is completely unneeded. Miss Delibirda (talk) 13:11, 9 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Nice. I thought I got to a conclusion already about that. 13:13, 9 May 2023 (UTC)

Sizzle Season Weapons
Hello, I am writing to you about the undo's on my edits of the Sizzle Season weapon data. I just wanted to inform you that the data that I am putting in is for the main weapon meaning it has the same data as the vanilla kit, therefore the data is the same. Splatunie (talk) 06:15, 18 May 2023 (UTC)


 * Some of the stuff added looks like it was just reused from S2, but okay. 12:56, 18 May 2023 (UTC)
 * I see how you could thought that, but no I was using the data from the vanilla kits. Splatunie (talk) 13:45, 18 May 2023 (UTC)

Welcome
Hello, I looked at the welcome you just gave to a new user and there seems to be some issues with it. To use the template you have to write so that the page will work for the user your assigning it to. Trig also asked that we stop using this welcome yesterday because they plan to make it more efficient in the future. Thanks. ℂ𝕝𝕒𝕣𝕚𝕟𝕖𝕥.𝕠𝕔𝕥𝕠 ( ℙ𝕣𝕒𝕥𝕥𝕝𝕖 ) 17:15, 23 May 2023 (UTC)

Signature policy update
Hello Randomnamehere! Inkipedia's signature policy has just been updated and your signature is no longer acceptable according to the new policy. Specifically, you are now required to include your username or approximation or derivation thereof in your signature. Read the full policy here. Thanks! 00:34, 24 May 2023 (UTC)


 * Aw- that sucks. Can I change my username then? 12:47, 24 May 2023 (UTC)


 * You may request a name change at Inkipedia:Requests for Rename. Also, be sure to keep all images in your signature below 30 pixels in size. Thanks! 13:33, 24 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Okay! But wait- it says that I can only change it every 6 months, I haven't changed my name yet, but I havent been on the Inkipedia for long enough.. does it still count? 14:04, 24 May 2023 (UTC)
 * @Eminence I changed my signature... does this count? 15:02, 24 May 2023 (UTC)
 * I believe your signature is fine - at least the image is. The text may be too large, check the policy. However, you must change the name in the sig or change your name to something similar to the sig name. Regards, -Xando (talk) 15:15, 24 May 2023 (UTC)
 * How does it look now? 15:20, 24 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Again, your current signature is a violation of the signature policy. You are required to include your username in some form in your signature. Also, you do not have to be on Inkipedia for 6 months before changing your name. You only have to wait 6 months to change your name again if you have already changed it. Thanks! 15:25, 24 May 2023 (UTC)
 * My username is there. It's in white. 15:27, 24 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Please do not try to exploit loopholes in the policy. You may be warned and/or banned if you fail to comply. If you would like your signature to be "Marie," change your username to something involving Marie. 15:29, 24 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Fine, how about now? 😮‍💨 15:31, 24 May 2023 (UTC)
 * One more thing. Could you change the size of your font from 180% to 100%? You are not allowed to have any part of your signature be larger than 30 pixels in height and your text is too large. Thanks! [[User:Eminence| Eminence ]] [[User talk:Eminence| Talk ]] 17:59, 24 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Okay. 18:06, 24 May 2023 (UTC)

WEBP is Not Great
Based off File talk:AlmanacDoubleEgg.webp; WEBP is not a well supported file format, as it has a host of display and quality issues associated with it. Furthermore, this WEBP taken from FANDOM was a lower quality thumbnail (as the source file was a PNG). They also don't have standard optimization tools, meaning they oftentimes will be larger than PNG or JPG counterparts. Trig - 13:23, 26 May 2023 (UTC)


 * Oh, if it's not supported well, why does the Inkipedia have it as an option? 13:25, 26 May 2023 (UTC)


 * An excellent question indeed. Trig - 14:22, 26 May 2023 (UTC)
