Should we have a translation team?
Hello, I was thinking that we should have a translation team for the website, but if there is already a team, then how can I join. Thanks. :). My user name is RessescupsRessescups (talk) 18:37, 5 January 2021 (UTC)
 * There is no team as such, but if you see any untranslated content on the site then please feel free to translate it. Thanks, Luke26 (talk) 18:46, 5 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Also, we need to complete the French version of Inkipedia. Since I don't know how to speak French, can someone else translate it? Thanks! 19:47, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
 * How can I help you which translate to Japanese? Haloji86 (talk) 16:43, 5 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Ooooh that sounds fun! Chrome Wolf🐺 (🎙). 20:48, 27 October 2022 (UTC)


 * I actually speak Italian so if anyone needs help with that. -Octosquidfishyling?!? (Also I forgot how to link my user )

How do I get Barnsquids?
Hi. As I was looking at talk pages, I saw these things called Barnsquids and I wanted to know how to award and receive them. Thanks!Ressescups (talk) 16:35, 6 January 2021 (UTC)

You can award them yourself I think ChessMaster   [TALK]  17:05, 6 January 2021 (UTC)

Anyone can give them to others or use them on their own page. See Template:Barnsquids for usage info. In the future please use Ink Pump, as this talk page is meant for talking about the Main Page. Heddy (talk) 18:19, 6 January 2021 (UTC)

weapon of the day
Should we have the "weapon of the day" from just a random generator or from Callie--Ressescups (talk) 20:12, 13 January 2021 (UTC)
 * That is a good idea, maybe bring it up on the ink pump-- 15:17, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
 * We should! Sploon2 (talk) 15:42, 19 October 2021 (UTC)
 * yes we should that's the best thing Shadow octoling (talk) 16:08, 3 October 2022 (UTC)
 * yea, this sounds like a good idea Pixel Moone 15:37, 2 February 2022 (UTC)

Honestly in my opinion I think That would be a very smart choice. Splatto 17:49, 11 June 2021 (UTC)

-I think we should have 2 weapons of the day, showing callie's choice and the most used weapon for today. Also maybe include most often recommended weapons too Zelda+Splatoon2 (talk) 20:10, 26 November 2021 (UTC)


 * I'm already on it. Goggles is the best boi (talk) 16:56, 8 March 2022 (UTC)

Stage schedule error issue.
Sometimes when a lot of stage rotations have passed on the Main Page's schedule, when I try to refresh the page to find what stages are next when both say "Previous" on their times, it says "Now" and/or "Next, in Hr.:Min.:Sec." for one frame then changing to "Previous" again. I can fix this by "Purging the page" FYI. I'm just asking if this is a problem for multiple people and can it be fixed outside of page purging? Thanks. P.J. GT (talk) 04:21, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
 * We're aware of the issue and are looking into it. Apologies for the inconvenience! Luke26 (talk) 13:40, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
 * The problem should be fixed now, but please report back if it returns. Thanks! Luke26 (talk) 22:30, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
 * It is not working Agent eyaEE (talk) 18:59, 17 September 2022 (UTC)

Gear Stores
Should we have the current gear in the Gear Stores? (Shella Fresh, Headspace, Ye Olde Cloth Shoppe) dedf1sh07 (talk) 01:01, 22 February 2021 (UTC)
 * @dedf1sh07: The gear in stores (other than the SplatNet shop) is different for everyone, so it is not possible to add that to the main page. Heddy (talk) 04:56, 24 February 2021 (UTC)
 * I didn't know, that but ok. dedf1sh07 (talk) 05:50, 24 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Yeah, according to the level article, specific levels unlock two-star and three-star gear, so not all players get the same gear due to some players having a low level. On top of the level stuff, I think Nintendo also randomizes the available gear per-person, so even if two players have the same level, they will still not have the same gear in the shops.

How can I help add information to Splatoon 3?
Hello, I'm HalfSanitized, and I'm fairly new to the wiki. I am a very big Splatoon fan, and was trying to add Splatoon 3 info to the wiki. I accidentally added unconfirmed information, which was then taken down. I really want to add Splatoon 3 information, but I'm not sure how. Is there anything I can do that will add Splatoon 3 information? Thank you! :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by HalfSanitized (talk • contribs)
 * @HalfSanitized I think all the available info has been added to the Splatoon 3 page. I suggest keeping an eye out for new information from Nintendo. Heddy (talk) 06:39, 21 March 2021 (UTC)


 * I started a while back, too @HalfSanitized. I just add information, or try to help other people with the wiki.

Does Inkipedia do anything for April Fools Day?
Just wondering. I know other wikis do this, but I don't see any pranks here. -- LIL JUDD INVASION! 21:45, 1 April 2021 (UTC)


 * Yes. I recently found out that the "Edit by pigeon" is an April Fools because the file has April fools in its name (heres the link:[] ) And I'm pretty sure that User:Fumple Splatoon 2 shirt" when it reality, it was a fraud

From, 22:44, 1 April 2021 (UTC)

That was close...
Funny how it says on the edit by pigeon thing that people's edits are ruined by bad connections when my bad connection saved me from the rickroll link. Must say, THAT was a close call. 20:15, 10 April 2021 (UTC)

Can we please remove this?
Can we please remove the "Edit-by-pigeon" joke in the News section? April Fools is over FYI. P.J. GT (talk) 03:54, 16 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Yeah I agree, April's almost over already lol Timewip2020 (talk) 18:04, 22 April 2021 (UTC)
 * We have always kept news up until it is replaced by new news. Heddy (talk) 21:50, 22 April 2021 (UTC)

If there is something new announced for Splatoon 3 in the near future (possibly E3), could it replace the April Fools joke? The S3 announcement is more important IMO. P.J. GT (talk) 22:19, 29 April 2021 (UTC)
 * One new post would bump the NIWA post down, but not replace it. When two new posts are made, then the NIWA post will be gone. I'm happy to add posts for anything new regarding Inkipedia or Splatoon, but I will not arbitrarily replace posts just because someone doesn't like a particular post.

Splatoon 3
On this page will be information about the Splatoon 3 trailers, thus adding further analysis. Feel free to edit this page with more information.

At the begging we see multiple new hairstyles for the female and male inklings, as well new pants options. We also get new eye coloration, as well as multiple coloured eyes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rizmal (talk • contribs) 04:22, 1 September 2021 (UTC)

Oh my gosh guys have you seen the new trailer for splatoon 3??!!! It's so good!!!!!!!!! ****Stormy — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sploon2 (talk • contribs) 14:04, 24 September 2021‎ (UTC)

Is there a way to make a link to a page with multiple articles to choose from?
I was wondering if there was a way to create a link that would take the user to a page with multiple article links they could choose from. For example, I have recently created the page for Alterna. However, there is also a link for an uncreated page called "Alterna (mode)". When both articles are active, is there a way I can use a link like this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by HalfSanitized (talk • contribs) 02:27, 25 September 2021 (UTC)
 * For now, I think we should use the former (without "(mode)"). Exaskliri (talk) 03:39, 25 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Ok, thanks! HalfSanitized (talk) 18:13, 25 September 2021 (UTC)

Main Article
Hey, can someone add something about the new trailer to the main page news thingy? I would but I have no clue how or if I even have perms to. Thanks. 16:05, 10 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Added Salmon Run Next Wave to the news section. Thanks for the reminder. Shahar (talk) 17:33, 10 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Shouldn't the release window announcement of Summer 2022 be mentioned too?  18:14, 10 February 2022 (UTC)

This might help stop vandals.
Perhaps we could add a question about Splatoon that a person making an account would need to answer similar to Fire Emblem Wiki 11:41, 3 April 2022 (UTC)


 * We have that too but those questions are very basic so that legitimate users can register as well. Shahar (talk) 11:54, 3 April 2022 (UTC)


 * This is not related to the main page. For general discussions, see Ink Pump. Shahar (talk) 11:56, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

Should the Manga icon be changed?
Even though I'm not a fan of the Splatoon Manga, I believe the current image of Prince for the link on the Main Page should be changed to one of Goggles instead. As he's the "main protagonist/mascot" of the Manga, while Prince is a former-antagonist and current supporting character. It could be the front cover of Volume 1 as the image instead. Just sharing an opinion. Sincerely,  00:56, 14 April 2022 (UTC)


 * I agree it should be changed, perhaps it could fit in more with the style of the other icons. Some cropped form of this splatfest icon of Goggles could work. 15:57, 14 April 2022 (UTC) S2 Splatfest Icon The Challenger.png


 * I think it's perfectly fine as is. Nobody has ever complained about the icon until now, and it's done the job of conveying the manga section just fine, so why change it? If I had one gripe with it, it would be that it doesn't match the style of the other icons too well, but I could totally draw another icon if you guys wanted me to, as it'll help Inkipedia in some way. Additionally, the icon that Eminence just proposed has too much detail, and it would probably look like a disaster when compressed.


 * (Hope my bias towards Prince isn't getting in the way too much...) 21:00, 14 April 2022 (UTC)


 * Here is what the image would look like when compressed to 24 pixels: S2 Splatfest Icon The Challenger.png It doesn't look very good right now, but I think it would look better if someone were to cut out the head and delete the rest of the body. I might do it if I can find the time. I do think that this icon would be better than the current one. That's just my opinion, though. Also, the entire reason the current icon is there is because of another user with a bias towards Prinz. 21:31, 14 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Sounds like a good idea. A colorful icon would fit better with the others. Heddy (talk) 14:09, 15 April 2022 (UTC)


 * I cropped the image so it's just his head, here it is. Hopefully it will look good tiny. I think it will look better with the other icons' styles, and I was never really sure why the icon was Prince. 18:49, 15 April 2022 (UTC)




 * That looks okay, but you can clearly see the area in which Goggles' body has been erased, and it's off-center, which wouldn't look great on the main page, sadly. I'm working on an icon for the main page as well that shares a similar art style as most of the other icons. 18:56, 15 April 2022 (UTC)


 * Okay, I drew this icon of Prince here. If we are absolutely certain that Prince should not be the character of choice, then that's fine. I'll just draw Goggles instead once I have the time. 19:33, 15 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Wow. Excellent. the octoling girl 20:23, 27 October 2022 (UTC)



@WoomyGirl85 this looks really cute when I tested it on the main page. The cropped Goggles has my vote! Heddy (talk) 23:10, 15 April 2022 (UTC)

@Princewave This looks insanely clean. However, I would prefer to stick to official art so I personally prefer the cropped Goggles. Heddy (talk) 23:15, 15 April 2022 (UTC)


 * Tch... Sure, whatever Heddy... If you think that the cropped Goggles is the best, then I'm not one to judge. I'm sure WoomyGirl put a lot of thought and effort into cropping that out, but it just looks unprofessional and messy. Having a blatant copy and paste of the Champion vs Challenger Goggles art mixed in with the SplatNet 2 icons just makes it stick out like a sore thumb, and it does not display the professional and high quality standard that we strive to maintain. Think about it, everyone who visits the main page will see that intentionally childish attempt at an illustration of Goggles. Everyone will see that. I hope you take this opinion into account before applying that thing onto the main page, though I assume you've already made up your mind. 23:44, 15 April 2022 (UTC)


 * I agree with the cropped Goggles image. It's more official (coming from Nintendo) than the current one which I'm not sure where it came from. It's also a character's head which does fit with most of the other icons that are also character's head. It also looks nice so yeah.  ChessMaster   [TALK]  01:05, 16 April 2022 (UTC) (Nice drawing btw Princewave)


 * Thanks for the compliment. I'm just a little ticked off at how an official image, regardless if it's good or not, seems to have priority over fan art of any kind. Like, I get how you aren't supposed to post any unofficial content on a character's wiki page for example, but if it's literally the main page, having accurate and high quality fan art should be a priority over official art that doesn't fit. Nintendo isn't gonna provide every little bit of art for every character in every style, so liberties should be taken in order to ensure the highest quality on the main page. Even the Goggles image and the current icon of Prince from Volume 5 have both been unofficially cropped! (Sorry for all this ranting..! Just need to get the point across...) 01:54, 16 April 2022 (UTC)


 * I personally prefer Cynical Prince's new icon, the Goggles icon doesn't look very good when it's cropped. 13:26, 16 April 2022 (UTC)


 * I realize the cropped Champ vs Challenger icon doesn't look super clean, but it is going to be shrunk quite a bit and will fit in better than the current one. I really do like Princewave's art, but I think it should be Goggles and official icons would probably be better, as fan art isn't really used anywhere on the wiki. (Just as a note, I'm totally fine if the cropped Goggles isn't used, I was just trying to provide a visual of what Eminence suggested so we could see if it looks good.) 16:03, 16 April 2022 (UTC)

I just don't get why you guys are so reluctant to have a little bit of fan art on the main page. If you would just read my last edit above, then you'd know why I'm more flexible with that kind of material. I don't want the main page to look like some child's scrapbook full of mishmashed art styles! If you guys want me to make an icon of Goggles in the SplatNet 2 style, just say the word! I want to use my artistic talent to help Inkipedia! 16:31, 16 April 2022 (UTC)

Fuzzy Octos
Hello, I am new to editing inkipedia pages and I have a question. Recently, Nintendo has posted new info on the designs of the Splatoon 3 Octarians on Twitter. I want to add it, but I don't know where. Should I wait until Splat 3 comes out, or do something else I can't think of? Thanks in advance! (p.s.: I'm sorry if that's a question that's asked too often! I don't know where to find an answer for this!) --CölØR St★r (talk) 00:19, 26 May 2022 (UTC) 00:11, 26 May 2022 (UTC)


 * It was already added a few days ago, but you can add more information if there is something missing. Hopefully this helped! OrderSquid123 (talk) 00:26, 26 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you! :D CölØR St★rS2 Icon Marina.png (talk) 00:24, 27 May 2022 (UTC)
 * I would prefer to add it in the octarians section, under Splatoon 3's part. Information might be useful. Chrome Wolf🐺 (🎙). 20:52, 27 October 2022 (UTC)

New Issue.
Ever since the addition of the Countdown to S3 section being added, it and the Welcome section are narrow on mobile view (EXTREMELY narrow if viewed on a smartphone). Can this be fixed? Sincerely,  22:33, 2 June 2022 (UTC)
 * The new countdown somehow cause some problems especially with Timeless. On Discord they mentioned they will try to get it fixed by tomorrow ~  Nick the Splatoon Fanboy S2 Mem Cake Inkling Squid.png  Chat   Contributions  22:45, 2 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Exactly, we are working on it. Meanwhile, if felt necessary, someone with edit rights can remove the countdown or revert to an earlier version. Perfectionist (talk) 22:50, 2 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Or maybe, they can move the countdown to the left or right, instead of it under the main categories list

 ¿Confused Squib? (Contribs)    02:10, 3 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Edit: Nevermind, they already did. I'm so used to the timeless version, I didn't even know it was normal in the other skin options lol

main page icons
About the icons for links on the main page, will those be changed when s3 comes out, or is there a way I could help now? Octosquidfishyling?!?!  .^.^. (talk) 11:03, 26 June 2022 (UTC)

Add a Charlie ink color option to the Splatfest infobox
Since Splatfests in Splatoon 3 have 3 teams, we should add a Charlie option. (Charlie is the third letter in the International Radio-Telephony Spelling Alphabet, after Alpha and Bravo) OctoAmbush (talk) 14:34, 11 August 2022 (UTC)


 * I do feel like Charlie has been added to the Alpha/Bravo/Charlie teams, but I'll look into it. Chrome Wolf🐺 (🎙). 20:53, 27 October 2022 (UTC)

Recent news
Can we put news up about the Splatoon 3 world premiere Splatfest?? We have news about Deep cut and the other info about things in the direct but I think a Section about the Splatfest is VERY IMPORTANT!! I understand that there's a lot of work right now but I just wanted to suggest this!! Oddlildude ( talk ) 21:45, 11 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Thank you for reminding me, I forgot to add that! Done. GloverMist (talk) 22:10, 11 August 2022 (UTC)
 * No problem!! Oddlildude  ( talk )[[file:AnemoneNo1.jpg|28px]] 22:16, 11 August 2022 (UTC)

Stage Rotations
When Splatoon 3 comes out, are we going to replace the Splatoon 2 stage rotations with the ones from Splatoon 3 or will we have both of them on the Main Page? In my opinion, I feel that we should have both since both games are on the same console. Thoughts? - Woomy? (talk)  23:25, 11 August 2022 (UTC)


 * I think we should have both because Splatoon 2 is still relevant and just because Splatoon 3 comes out doesn't mean S2 will fade from existence!! People still need the feature to we should have both! Not just S3!! Oddlildude  ( talk )[[file:AnemoneNo1.jpg|28px]] 00:13, 12 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Woomy? is talking about having the features on the main page. I think all of the features currently shown are amazing, but the amount of frontpage space dedicated to Splatoon 2 should probably be significantly reduced, similar but not exactly like we have 0 space showing information about Splatoon 1's rotations. A small section that shows the current Ranked mode, League mode, and Salmon Run status strike me as the most important, and this section can of course link to a page more dedicated to 2's current rotation breakdown, while 3 gets a big old breakdown front and center. Talons235 (talk) 12:12, 14 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Nice idea! I like it! the octoling girl 15:52, 19 September 2022 (UTC)
 * A good question, but I don't think we'll make any decisions on that front until Splatoon 3 is released so that we can gauge interest and see how inconvenient/bulky it is with both. I don't think we'll remove the Splatoon 2 rotations outright for as long as we're able to get them, and at most would move them to a page which would be linked on the main page, if I had to guess. Luke26 (talk) 13:34, 14 August 2022 (UTC)

One link to all Hero Modes?
Now that Splatoon 3 is almost two weeks away, I've been thinking... Since there will now be "four" Hero Modes (Probably five counting the "Large-Scale" paid DLC) so far in the Series, should we have a link to a Disambig of all of them on the Main Page instead of individual links to each of them? As there is no longer a link to Octo Valley (AND possibly Octo Canyon and the Octo Expansion), this will be more streamlined in finding and accessing them. Sincerely,  15:26, 25 August 2022 (UTC)


 * I think you have a good point, and going forward with Splatoon 3 maybe it's better to have top-level links anyway - I feel like Modes sufficiently covers the single player modes too 23:29, 28 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Adding on to this doing so would make the new S3 welcome better due to having 3 games out we could label it 'Hero modes' and have a link to a hero mode page. Oddlildude  ( talk )[[file:AnemoneNo1.jpg|28px]] 23:36, 28 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Depending on the amount of lore links to all the hero modes, such as the 'screaming' before/after the second boss in Splatoon 2 with theorists theorizing that it could be the past subjects of Commander Tar Tar, if this were to be true there should be a linkage page introduced into the hero mode sections talking about the confirmed and possible links with its own section under the hero mode section you are proposing so there could also be another hero mode entry with the creation of the full Hero mode section. Satori (talk) 00:01, 19 September 2022 (UTC)

Splatoon 3 Main page welcome edit
So in my Sandbox I made a rough draft of what we could change the main page welcome to! Of course it needs some edits but for the most part it looks good. So if a few people could go check it out and help edit it and give some ways out to improve it that would be great!! Oddlildude ( talk ) 22:49, 28 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Like the S3 theming on it! We may use it when the game is released :) 23:20, 28 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Ok good!! For the story mode and salmon run I had to abbreviate it. The text kept cutting in to photos making it unseen. If there is a way to fix it so it can be read and not go past the photo I feel like it would look better like that than having it be shortened. Oddlildude  ( talk )[[file:AnemoneNo1.jpg|28px]] 23:25, 28 August 2022 (UTC)
 * @Slate; I also made a new Main Page Welcome concept here. As you can see, I sorted the shown links a certain way: The left row has the main Modes (Online, Hero & SR), plus a link to a list of games. The middle row has Splatfests, Stages & Equipment. And the right row has Characters, music & Community content. I plan on making draft pages for the red links, plus a Salmon Run Disambig. Hope it impresses! Sincerely,  17:58, 3 September 2022 (UTC)

Splatoon 3 Release Time
Is the release time on the main page entirely accurate? OctoAmbush (talk) 23:18, 8 September 2022 (UTC)


 * It can be different for some regions, but I'm not sure what time zone Inkipedia uses for the time. 00:00 on Inkipedia is 7 pm for me 23:35, 8 September 2022 (UTC)
 * For me its 7:35 OctoAmbush (talk) 23:36, 8 September 2022 (UTC)
 * 7 PM for me too. See you fresh-squids in Splatsville tomorrow!  23:39, 8 September 2022 (UTC)
 * The release time says "available now", so can we add the previously leaked info (which is official now ig) to pages? Or should we wait till tomorrow? Sorry if this is off topic 00:13, 9 September 2022 (UTC)

What is the best shooter for turf war? (Splatoon 3)
I've been using different shooters in turf war (I know everybody has weapons they are better at then others) My friend strongly agrees that its The Aerospray MG, While I Personally think it could lean towards some of the Dualies, like the Dark Tetra Dualies as they are able to connect with my skill set well. I havent been using dualies as much anymore to use other shooter weapons. Satori (talk) 23:43, 18 September 2022 (UTC)

Should we embrace big man?
I love big man but should we embrace him? Bigmansweep (talk) 17:46, 25 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Please only talk about improvements for the Main page in this talk page. Thank you. 17:55, 25 September 2022 (UTC)

Please Update the Splatfest Schedule with the winning team
Now that the results are in someone should update the Splatfest Schedule section, I can't do it because the page is protected and I doesn't have the permissions to edit it

Question: is this website official?
Is Inkipedia an actual website created and owned by nintendo? Agent 34 02:38, 6 October 2022 (UTC)
 * No, it is independent from Nintendo. Here is some more information about its creation and history: Inkipedia:About   07:02, 6 October 2022 (UTC)

Stage Rotations
I noticed that when Splatoon 3 released the Current Stages section on the main page got deleted, why dont we should add it again with Splatoon 3 stages? It will make the main page more complete. I can't do it because of the page being protected.

 * Yeah, we probably should. Would you like me to suggest it to the admins or something? (I just have no idea how to do it myself hehe..) ArivakiVA (talk) 18:24, 14 October 2022 (UTC)
 * You just go to an admin's user page, go to the "discussion" tab (or click the "talk" in their signature), create a new topic about this if there isn't a discussion going already, and you can discuss it with the admin that way. Its the quickest way to communicate with the admins. Cruelty to Salmons (talk) 16:21, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Neato. the octoling girl 20:18, 27 October 2022 (UTC)

The stage rotations were created by GuyPerfect in the past. If anyone wants to start a stage rotation project, they could probably ask GuyPerfect for advice. Heddy (talk) 17:54, 29 October 2022 (UTC)

Grass vs Fire vs Water
I think its time for someone to update the Splatfest Schedule, I would do it but the page its protected

Platelet✨(talk👌🏻) 15:36, 8 October 2022 (UTC)


 * The necessary piece, Main Page/Splatfest, is protected to autoconfirmed. 13:40, 9 October 2022 (UTC)

Big run
When Big Run is announced, will that be it's own separate part of the Main Page or will it go under the Splatfest section? Jacobearth (talk) 13:53, 9 October 2022 (UTC)
 * That decision might be best to wait until it's announced and more details (such as its duration and the scope of what modes it affects) are confirmed. Lyichir (talk) 16:51, 9 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Ok got it. I was just making sure. Jacobearth (talk) 17:17, 9 October 2022 (UTC)

Wikirby has some good ideas
Looking at the main page of wikirby there are some things that i think we at inkipedia could take cues from, such as the "did you know?" And "featured article" sections. It seems like a good way to add more content to inkipedia's main page, which is a bit lacking compared to other wikis. Cruelty to Salmons (talk) 15:21, 20 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Ooh, that does sound pretty cool! I'm personally all for it, but I guess it might not be necessarily something we need? I dunno, maybe others might think it's cool. ArivakiVA (talk) 16:44, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
 * That sounds cool!, maybe an admin could do it?
 * Platelet✨(talk👌🏻) 23:06, 21 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I think it's a nice idea, but are there any benefits to it? Tons-of-ducks (talk) 17:11, 24 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Honestly, I like the Did you know ideaknow. Chrome Wolf🐺 (🎙, 🗂). 18:09, 29 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Wow! I like the idea! the octoling girl 12:06, 24 October 2022 (UTC)

Me and a few others use the Main Page/Featured module from the main page to highlight relevant news, linking to articles and thus featuring them in the process. In the past, we used the Inkipedia:Featured content process to put a spotlight on stuff. This doesn't need to be limited to admins; if anyone wants to create main page content, they are welcome to do so as long as their idea is unopposed. If someone wants to revive the featured content process, or create something else like "did you know", I will be happy to add it to the main page once you have brought your idea to life! If making a new process like "did you know" or any new type of segment for the main page, you can start by making a draft in your user space. Heddy (talk) 01:35, 22 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Ooh, cool! If I can figure out how, I'll try to do it myself! ArivakiVA (talk) 17:41, 24 October 2022 (UTC)
 * A great way to test that out would be in your sandbox! I would try to help, but I can barely put together an infobox… Jacobearth (talk) 23:19, 25 October 2022 (UTC)

Who keeps changing my stuff?
I mean, I'm not against people changing my stuff, or whatever, but geez, my writing isn't that bad.

I will say though, whoever did change my Ruins of Ark Polaris stuff, did a great job. Wind Waker (talk) 13:54, 26 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Uh, I'm not entirely sure whether this is the right place to have said this, or if you even had to say anything at all (especially if you're comfortable with people changing your edits). I don't mean to sound rude though! Just wanted to let ya know! Also please feel free to let me know if someone vandalizes a previous edit of yours so that I can try to fix it! Thank you! ArivakiVA (talk) 18:04, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
 * For problems like this to discuss them you would go to the Ink Pump. The main page talk page if for edits on the talk page. The people changing you edits are doing it to improve the wiki. I'm sorry that this is happening. Thank you for helping out & I'm sure the people don't mean to be rude. Hope this helped you out. :) S3 art 3D Inkling splat.png Oddlildude ( chat )[[file:S3 Inkling E-liter Scope Render.png|45px]] 23:26, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Maybe typos, or even missing I formation, either way, we should at least give some credit. Be happy with it, it's been now* updated.

How do you add photos to your name?
I want to know how @GX 64 or @Oddlildude does it Chrome Wolf🐺 (🎙). 23:52, 26 October 2022 (UTC)


 * You can add an image by adding something like this: . The 20px part is to limit the size of the image since the policy (INK:SIG) says that the signature has to be less than 30 pixels in height.  00:15, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Hi! Just a little reminder, the Talk page of the Main Page its just for discussions about the Main Page itself, your question can be more appropriated in the Ink Pump or in the talk page of the staff you are asking the question.
 * Thanks! :) Platelet✨(talk👌🏻) 00:43, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Yep! Sorry I didn't get to you sooner. If you have other questions you could ask on the Ink Pump. S3 art 3D Inkling splat.png Oddlildude ( chat )[[file:S3 Inkling E-liter Scope Render.png|45px]] 02:10, 27 October 2022 (UTC)

Should we Have a Page for all Splatoon Lore and/or fan Speculations and Predictions?
So that all history could be recorded in one spot. Wind Waker (talk) 14:19, 29 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Oops, I didn't see the ink pump thing (I'm new) so I'll repost this there Wind Waker (talk) 14:43, 29 October 2022 (UTC)
 * It's fine, at least now you know where it is. Chrome Wolf🐺 (🎙, 🗂). 15:15, 29 October 2022 (UTC)

Splatoon 2 section
Should the Splatoon 2 content be on a separate page? Or should it be on the Main Page in a separate section at the bottom of the page?

Currently, I have added the Splatoon 2 content to a separate page, and added a link to it at the bottom of the Main Page. Heddy (talk) 18:07, 29 October 2022 (UTC)


 * I am personally fine with both options, however I am leaning towards leaving the link at the bottom of the page. I do not know how we could further incorporate the Splatoon 2 content into the Main Page other than what you have done already, other than making a condensed version of the Splatoon 2 content and putting that on the Main Page instead. 19:48, 29 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I think we can leave it only with the link you added Heddy, as now Splatoon 3 is the current "active" game, I think it would be better to leave the Spotlight to Splatoon 3 as Splatoon 2 life time ended completely with version 5.5.0, I dont see so necessary to add to the main page the Splatoon 2 info. Platelet✨(talk👌🏻) 20:57, 29 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I think what you did was perfect, Heddy. 21:07, 29 October 2022 (UTC)
