Charts
Pssst thanks for making those ability graphs! Sure helps visualize things. ✌️ --Bzeep!  talk  11:59, 24 March 2016 (UTC)

On the influence of Run Speed Up upon sloshers & co.
Thank you for all the hard work that you put into your graphs but is there a reason why the graph showing the influence of Run Speed Up on various weapons does not include the sloshers? This includes the Tri-Sloshers and Sloshing Machines. Around where would they appear (approx.) on your Run Speed graph? Thanks. ItchyOliver (talk) 14:12, 3 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Run Speed Up does not affect sloshers, meaning you will always move the same speed while sloshing. You can see the slosher run speed as the mobility stat at Main Weapon. Heddy (talk) 00:31, 5 August 2016 (UTC)

Charts
Pssst thanks for making those ability graphs! Sure helps visualize things. ✌️ --Bzeep!  talk  11:59, 24 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Yes, thanks for those! It's super helpful to be able to compare the weapons all in once place, and it's awesome that you're keeping them up to date.  If I can make requests, it would be nice to see damage compared in terms of DPS and time-to-splat, and ink efficiency in terms of both damage and turf coverage.  Also, it would be nice to highlight important thresholds, for instance, the 24.9, 33.3, and 49.9 damage lines on the Defense Up graph.  It would also be neat if you could come up with a way of visualizing how Ink Saver (Main) and Ink Recovery interact (assuming only firing your main weapon), and the same for Quick Respawn and Quick Super Jump (assuming you only and always Super Jump after respawning). --MindWanderer (talk) 22:28, 15 April 2016 (UTC)

Splatoon Files?
Hey, Heddy! In the Ink Pump page, you referenced that you searched the Splatoon files to find stats for the Rainmaker weapon. Since you have access to their files, I wanted to ask: is there a way to remove the music files, disable them, or replace them with silence to remove music? I might need that for later use in my videos, especially the Rainmaker weapon demo. Please let me know. :) /Syl (talk) 18:26, 6 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Yup, take a peek. It's also been done by a. mibu - I'd ask them if you need help, since uh... they speak English, haha. 😅 --Bzeep!  talk  00:04, 7 April 2016 (UTC)
 * That actually looks pretty good. Any way to run Splatoon through an emulator offline? If that's possible, I'd probably re-recording my videos come the next balancing update. Possibly use an Octoling character and try to hack in the Rainmaker into the training map. I wouldn't play online, of course. Just a thought to spruce up my videos.
 * /Syl (talk) 00:39, 7 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Well, they weren't emulating, that was just showing their TV screen. :b There is a Wii U emulator, but it's.. "highly experimental." --Bzeep!  talk  00:45, 7 April 2016 (UTC)
 * 6 GB ram? That's for shrimp. Is it okay if I start a discussion on your page or email you to avoid bugging Heddy with our conversation?
 * /Syl (talk) 00:47, 7 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Heh sure, wherever you wanna take it. Warning though, I don't know jack about emulation or Wii U modding. --<font color="#f2992e">Bzeep!  <font color="#f7c282">talk  01:39, 7 April 2016 (UTC)
 * It's definitely possible to mess with the music. The files are in BFSTM format, which this tool can covert to and from. As for obtaining the game's files, there are no public tools that will easily dump splatoon, so you will have to find someone else's dump. To play the game after you modify the files, you need an exploited Wii U, and Loadiine. This page contains all there is to know about exploiting the Wii U. Heddy (talk) 10:35, 7 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the reply! I've already started working on it, so hopefully it'll be a lot easier to RAM hack and obtain all weapons, as well as properly provide a demo for the Inkzooka and Rainmaker. But one of my earlier questions still stands: do you think that using an Octoling instead of Inkling in my weapon demos would be better, or should I keep that untouched?
 * /Syl (talk) 11:05, 7 April 2016 (UTC)
 * lol, use what you want! I guess Octolings would be cooler. Heddy (talk) 09:33, 9 April 2016 (UTC)

Patroller
Hey Heddy! With your approval, me and the other administrators would like to make you a Patroller. Patrollers are experienced and trusted editors whose own edits are automatically marked as patrolled, which helps alleviate our patrol backlog. In addition, Patrollers can help patrol other editors' edits, but patrolling isn't required - only if you wish! Let me know if you're cool with this and I'll be happy to promote you. Thanks, ~<font color="#07517C">Super <font color="#6FA23B">Hamster  Talk 19:16, 28 May 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for a new Topic!
Thanks for adding in the Rainmaker Shield Topic! Ever since I found out it was possible to get splatted by the Rainmaker Shield, I've jumped into looking for it and found no luck, but now you created it today. I just wanted to say thank you! AsrielTheInkling (talk) 15:16, 16 September 2017 (UTC)

Admin Barnsquid

Regarding the Flow page incident today
I just want to sincerely thank you for removing all of that age mumbo jumbo from the page. I shouldn't of brought up that the age on there did not accurately reflect the character (nor the lack of official citation) in the form of an addon to the speculation. And looking back onto the edits made earlier durring this month of November, I discovered that the user who claimed her age to be in the early teens just pulled a number close to the inklings age and just assumed that was her age... Most likely.

I digress though. Again, thank you.

Getting the high-quality images on the first pass
Yo! I've noticed you've gone over images I grabbed from the JP twitter with a better quality one from the Splatoon US Tumblr. You also did it with the Octobrush Nouveau earlier this week.

So, when I went to get the ones for L-3 Nozzlenose D Today I tried to do the same but could only get the 720p ones from there. Ended up getting a lower-quality 1080p-s from the JP twitter (by adding :orig after the .jpg in the file URL, if you were wondering), but again, like a total squidgician, you found even better quality ones with the same resolution, again off the Splatoon US Tumblr. Teach me your magical way, 'coz I can only seem to get inferior images off that website. Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Inkrid (talk • contribs) 18:51, 5 January 2018 (UTC)‎
 * Tumblr only shows the compressed versions of each image, but they do store the raw versions of each image elsewhere. I've been grabbing the raw versions available on the AWS servers used by Tumblr. You can use the greasemonkey/tampermonkey script Use Tumblr Raw Image to make getting the raw versions easy. You will notice that it changes the URL to use an AWS address instead of the Tumblr address. To my knowledge, Twitter doesn't store the raw images anywhere (though you can get decent quality by appending ":orig" instead of ":large" to the end of an image's URL), so it's better to use Tumblr. Heddy (talk) 00:11, 6 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Well that's just AF. Thanks, you internet wizard! -  11:37, 6 January 2018 (UTC)

Octo Canyon Stats
Hey Heddy!

My savefile currently has none of the Octo Canyon weapons upgraded (except the Hero Shot).

I calculated the damage for each of the missing weapons by playing around with the 70/140/1000 dummies in Cuttlefish Cabin.

How do I calculate / measure the other stats (consumption / fire rate)?

Also, I think the ink capacity upgrades need mentioning in that page as well (i.e. level 1 tank = 100%, level 2 = 150% etc.), sadly I already have that at level 3, too, so not sure how to compare. I have a second save file which I keep untouched (I use it to see what is the unlock level for new weapons), so maybe that can be used to compare Level 1 to Level 3? - 20:33, 18 January 2018 (UTC)
 * In multiplayer, I've been defining the ink consumption stat as the percentage of the ink tank capacity consumed by each attack. With singleplayer I'm not so sure because of the upgradable ink tank. For now let's go with "percentage of the level 1 ink tank capacity consumed by each attack". Fire rate stats are best collected as the number of frames delaying each shot. Like there's a shot, then 12 frames pass and on the 12th frame another shot comes out. These stats are highly time consuming to collect (and it appears that no one ever documented them on the wiki for the first game), and they require video capture hardware or datamine access to find. I'm currently expecting a specific dataminer to release their findings from the parameter files that they extracted from the game.


 * I agree that the ink tank capacity stat should be added to the article. Do you know the capacity of each level? And the ink consumption of sub weapons should be added too. I think they're all 70%? Not sure. Heddy (talk) 02:13, 19 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Regarding the consumption stat, That would be... interesting to measure, what with the single player having you recover ink all the time even when standing / walking around. I'll try and get some stats. Wonder if datamining can grab that data too.
 * Regarding whether all three subs have the same consumption, it was pretty easy to verify (did it just now), and they do.
 * Regarding the ink tank numbers (and the sub weapon percent), I don't really have the numbers - but it might be discernable from the indicator (either on the model or the ink bar that appears when submerged) - since the little arrow shows exactly where the tank is full enough to use the sub (i.e. as in S2_Octo_Canyon_ink_tank_level_0.png, S2_Octo_Canyon_ink_tank_level_1.png S2_Octo_Canyon_ink_tank_level_2.png). We'll crack this case yet, sarge, don't worry! - 15:24, 20 January 2018 (UTC)

Regular Inkopolis Square map?
Hi Heddy! I saw you uploaded File:S2 Splatfest map.png and added it to the Map page. I wanted to do the same with the regular map, but I do not have a capture card, so my screenshots are a lowly 720p jpg compared to your mighty 1080p png godliness. Could you maybe upload the regular version as well? Also the Octo Canyon map would be nice. Cheers! - 17:57, 19 February 2018 (UTC)

Salmon Run Stats
Hey there. I only just noticed now (a few months after the fact, lol), but I just wanted to thank you for using my info. Thanks for using my source for the Salmon Run weapon usage in the Sessions History Sheet. It is great to see that people actually use it to help out others. I see it hasn't been updated since November, but please (to you and anyone else), feel free to keep updating it. I love seeing people using my sheet. Thanks again!

Beaker's Depot page issue
Hi Heddy, you may want to know that a lot of the Octo Canyon pages have the name "Beaker's Lookout" to describe the third sector. You should know the correct name is "Beaker's Depot". I will change the name on whichever pages I see with this name, but I may not get them all.

Hey, thanks for that!
Thanks for blocking Dangerkid, I've been undoing his gibberish and disruptive edits, so if he were to make another move like that, I would of contacted you guys. I've already told him to stop the bad edits, and yet he still made some. AsrielTheInkling (talk) 10:13, 29 May 2018 (UTC)

He's still at it!
He's still at it, I thought you blocked him for a long time. He just created this page. Can you please splat that page? AsrielTheInkling (talk) 23:04, 30 May 2018 (UTC)

Edit: Someone made a redirect on the page, I don't think there can be any other action for now. 23:21, 30 May 2018 (UTC)

I only blocked them for 24 hours at first. It is now clear that they are a vandal, so I upgraded the block to have indefinite length. Heddy (talk) 23:40, 31 May 2018 (UTC)

Table Checkup
I created a table and was wondering if it would work for all the mission page. If not I could rework the table and get it ready.https://splatoonwiki.org/wiki/User:WhistlingSquid/hero_mode_format --WhistlingSquid (talk) 00:17, 7 June 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for the page permission
The photos will be added in the next few hours, when I have access to my Switch again. Please excuse the delay, and thanks again. JaredTamana (talk) 15:45, 26 June 2018 (UTC)
 * No problem. I wouldn't expect you to encounter that problem in the future; you only have to make a few edits before your account can edit protected pages. Heddy (talk) 00:57, 27 June 2018 (UTC)

Prima Guide Octo Artwork
Since you already have the Splatoon Prima Guide eBook, is it alright if you could upload artwork of the four Octo Weapons and a higher res Octotrooper? I hope it isn't any trouble. GoombaBroadcast (talk) 3:05 5 July, 2018


 * Thank you Sir! I'll make sure to give each Octoweapon their own page as well. Also I was talking about the 3D artwork on the Octotroopers. Sorry for the confusion. Octotroopers1.jpg

Thank you for blocking that user who vandalized. I already reverted their other edits. Thanks again. Magitroopa (talk) 03:46, 15 July 2018 (UTC)

Splatoon 2 Octarian Renders
I've been curious on whether or not if I should post images of some of the Octarians from the pdf of the eGuide until we get better quality ones. The only problem is that the images from the pdf aren't exactly good on quality, and I sadly don't have the full guide. Just wondering what your thoughts were. (I'm also working on the enemy pages as well.) GoombaBroadcast (talk) 4:01, 28 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Are you talking about the Prima guide? I have the full guide and it doesn't have any good images. Try to take some good in-game screenshots. Let me know if there's anything that you need me to take a screenshot of, as I have a capture card that can get 1080p quality captures of the game. Heddy (talk) 23:54, 28 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Okay, I'll try to get some nice good ones. Though I might need some help with the Octo Shower though. That Octojerk does not like me.

GoombaBroadcast (talk) 11:16, 29 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Splatoon 2 Octotrooper render.jpg I got a pretty good screenshot of an Octotrooper. The only problem is that I don't have photoshop.

GoombaBroadcast (talk) 12:30, 2 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Is the image on the Play Nintendo website what you are looking for? Would be easier to use that than trying to crop something out yourself. Heddy (talk) 02:11, 3 October 2018 (UTC)

Block Nyami please
Hey, I don't know any other way to contact you, but I was hoping you could block the user Nyami? They have been vandalising pages and creating pages with spam for no reason. If there is another, better way to report someone, please let me know. Thanks, Splattersky (talk) 05:37, 3 October 2018 (UTC)

Octo Shower HD screenshots
I've been getting some excellent High Quality screenshots of most of the Splatoon 2 bosses, but I'm really struggling with the Octo Shower. Are you able to help? (Note: I'll be able to photoshop on the screenshots.) GoombaBroadcast (talk) 3:07 13 December, 2018
 * Sure, what in particular do you need a screenshot of? Heddy (talk) 00:50, 15 December 2018 (UTC)


 * Mainly The Octo Shower using its weapons. I managed to get screenshots of it on standby (Very annoying by the way, because unlike the rest of the bosses he doesn't give up on attacking when your hiding in Ink for the most part.) I'll go ahead and post the screenshots that I did managed to get and hopefully they'll be a lot better than the ones I got from the Switch itself.

 * Hello, Heddy! I'm ArcheryPrincess. You can call me Dove. I see that you must be an admin. I never thought that splatoon had their own wiki. I have always played Splatoon when I was younger. Nice to meet you! ArcheryPrincess (talk) 11:02, 12 February 2019 (UTC)

what did u do
WHAT DID U DO 2 MY SIGGGGGG? I CAN'T EVEN SEE THE SQUID ANYMORE sorry for all caps.I just felt weird having somebody else edit my sig, well, my sig's real cute sorry for caps... Squiddy Girl (talk) 16:10, 16 February 2019 (UTC)
 * I can answer this. Inkipedia's Policy on Signatures states that "Any part of the signature, including images, larger than 30 pixels in height" is unacceptable. The image in your signature was 100 pixels in height, and thus had to be sized down. 16:23, 16 February 2019 (UTC)

oooh.Thanks for the squids-up!(See what I did there?) Squiddy Girl (talk) 16:25, 16 February 2019 (UTC)

Umm... am I doing something wrong?
Remember the talk pages you splatted? Yeah, I recreated them with a proper welcoming page. Sorry if what I did was wrong. 20:07, 20 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Not necessarily wrong, but a waste of effort in my opinion. Try to only welcome users after they make an edit. Heddy (talk) 01:07, 21 February 2019 (UTC)

Charts
I wanted to create more charts for the Main Power Up page that would show the effect of Main Power Up on weapons that have a different stat than damage raised when the ability is stacked, such as ones with increased range or increased ink coverage. However, I do not know what program Inkipedia users use in order to make these charts. Could you please tell me what you use in order to create Splatoon 2 ability charts for Inkipedia and possibly leave a link to the program. 23:49, 20 February 2019 (UTC)
 * I use Graphpad Prism as it's probably the best tool there is for making attractive charts. The Prism license is a bit expensive; I haven't been making charts lately as I would have to renew my expired license. Basically any graphing tool should get the job done; you don't have to use what I used. Microsoft Excel for example can be used to graph data. If you end up using Prism, I can give you my files which you can use as a template, if you'd like. Heddy (talk) 01:24, 21 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Okay, thanks! 3:06, 21 February 2019 (UTC)

Removing hard worked pages
Hi Heddy, I want you to know that by deleting the pages where I redirect an Italian name for a stage or special to the English name for it you have kind of insulted me. I worked very hard on this and would be very mad at you if you did it again. JoshieM818AlexD830 (talk) 00:00, 21 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Hi, there was a bit of discussion on Ink Pump and Discord about that. See here for the Ink Pump topic. I advise against making that type of page for the reasons outlined in the link. Heddy (talk) 03:18, 26 May 2019 (UTC)

Octopus Plural
Octopi is more correct, and more widely used. -Agent 13 of the New Squidbeak Splatoon 13:02, 15 June 2019 (UTC)
 * That's false, octopuses has the correct English plural ending "-es", and is more commonly used. Replying on your talk page. Heddy (talk) 17:22, 15 June 2019 (UTC)

French page?
Heya Heddy! So I just came across this page and the entire thing is written in French. I thought I'd let you know since I'm not sure if this page is supposed to be there or not as I can't really understand it xD Thanks! -- S u n d a e Squid  Talk  08:01, 19 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I'm not Heddy, but I put it into a translator and here's what I got:
 * "The mother vessel is the salmonoid distribution elite. It only appears in a special wave where it is dark. The most difficult thing in this wave is to have the egg quota. In fact, there is no salmonoboss and the salmonoids (salmoche) descend from the vessel in cooler species. These coolers must be destroyed before they hit the ground to gain a golden egg. Several times in the game, the mothership goes forward to the basket in order to suck the eggs. If you do enough damage, he will flee and give up the basket."

Redirections
Hi, 5.2 Gal, 5.2 Gal Deco, 9.6 Gal, and 9.6 Gal Deco are not non-English Redirects, so I want to know why you gave a phony reason for deleting them. About the Krak-on 528 redirections I made, DXXVIII is 528 in Roman Numerals, and Five Hundred Twenty-Eight is 528 in word form. And if you left messages on my talk page about the Krak-on 528 redirects, I wonder why you din't leave a message about the Black Leather F-3 redirecting to the Custom Painted F-3. JoshieM818.JoshieM818 (talk) 19:38, 1 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I'm not Heddy, but I just wanted to say that some of those redirects feel kind of unnecessary. For the Gals, they're called .52 and .96, and I don't think there's any reason to make a redirect for a wrong decimal placement. And for the krak-on 528, it's so much easier to type out 528 rather than the roman numerals, and most people don't even know how to write a number that high up in roman numerals. I think it'll just confuse a lot of people. Same thing with the word form. It's such a handful to type out and most likely no one is going to think that the 528 is in word form and type it all out. And like for the roman numerals, it'll just confuse people. That's just my opinion, though~ S u n d a e Squid S Weapon Main Octobrush.png Talk  00:42, 2 July 2019 (UTC)
 * I mostly echo the opinion of SundaeSquid for the Krak-on one, those could be confusing. However for the 5.2, that was deleted in a batch that may have had a few false positives. I'll restore that because it was actually the original name of the weapon, according to the trivia. Heddy (talk) 04:36, 2 July 2019 (UTC)

Also Heddy, I found a user page where someone put an icon for a on it, but I moved my mouse over it and it said "Rabbit Blaster Pro", which gave me the idea to make that redirection. And for the, it is similar to the but with a black color. You still haven't told me why you have a problem with that redirection. User:JoshieM818JoshieM818 (talk) 15:33, 20 August 2019 (UTC)

, and
Hi, itzame,User:JoshieM818! On the three pages listed here, someone has been repeatedly undoing my contributions and I am sick of that. Even if they are true,they get undone. I suspect you or another administrator of doing that. Can you help me find who is doing this to me?JoshieM818 (talk) 15:18, 7 September 2019 (UTC)
 * To see changes to a page, including usernames of people making changes, select the History tab on the page. Heddy (talk) 16:05, 7 September 2019 (UTC)
 * ^ I have done that for you, and it actually isn't an administrator at all. It's a user by the name of SplatRT. Although it looks like they were only trying to help~ S u n d a e Squid S Weapon Main Octobrush.png Talk  17:58, 8 September 2019 (UTC)

I think that they are actually hurting me more than helping me. About the Quick Respawn page, I put "fails to splat an opponent", but SplatRT keeps changing it back to "does not splat an opponent." I think my contribution is more clear. Same is true for Opening Gambit and Stealth Jump. I don't see anything wrong with "each splat extends the timer by 7 seconds and 30 frames" or "each splat extends the timer by seven and a half seconds". And I really don't like that on Stealth Jump it says "a player standing directly above the landing point may still be unable to see the landing point if they are too far above". I shall contact SplatRT and see what they think about it.JoshieM818 (talk) 22:50, 10 September 2019 (UTC)

Patroller
Dear Heddy, Having made over 300 edits, I think it is right for me to become patroller. I have been on this "quest" for a couple of days and I think I'm ready. Thanks,

“Octoseeker Violist” Meena (美奈) 19:04, 2 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Sorry for the late reply. I'll review your edits and get back to you. Heddy (talk) 00:44, 10 October 2019 (UTC)

Weapon and Ability Icons
What was the consensus about the allowance of Weapon and Ability Icons on certain pages? For the past few months, I have been adding tips for use and countermeasures to various several pages concerning main weapons. As a fellow user and player, I believe that icons can better visually aid players who are looking for tips on which abilities to pair with a certain weapon or which weapons serve as a counter against another weapon.

DaDoc540 (talk) 01:00, 19 January 2020 (UTC)


 * Here's a link to my Ink Pump proposal, where a consensus was reached. I understand that the icons draw attention to the weapon or ability being discussed, but those topics are not necessarily more important that other topics we discuss in articles, like stages or characters, where we were not placing icons next to each link. So, it would be inappropriate to draw attention to things with those icons. There's a few other reasons mentioned by me and others in that Ink Pump page, like how having the icons makes it difficult to copy article text and more difficult to create articles. Heddy (talk) 02:06, 20 January 2020 (UTC)


 * On pages for Main Weapons, would tables, one displaying recommended Abilities and another indicating "Strong Against" and "Weak Against", be appropriate locations for Ability and Weapon icons? For example, on the page for the Splattershot Jr., the following could be used as a quick guide for Abilities to use:


 * {| class="wikitable sitecolor-s2"

! Ability !! Purpose
 * || Allows more frequent use of Splat Bombs
 * || Accelerates "farming" of Ink Armor
 * }
 * || Accelerates "farming" of Ink Armor
 * }
 * }


 * Will this be a reasonable use of Icons on Main Weapon Pages?


 * DaDoc540 (talk) 14:54, 21 January 2020 (UTC)


 * In the past, nearly every weapon page had a list of recommended abilities, but the lists were removed after there was agreement for opinions to be removed. So I can't endorse recommending abilities because recommended abilities were removed from weapon pages in the past.
 * Yes, it is reasonable to use icons in a table like that. Heddy (talk) 23:13, 24 January 2020 (UTC)


 * Yes, every player has his or her own play style with each weapon. Even on sendou.ink, not every top 500 player can agree on the best loadout for each weapon!  Some players are rather aggressive with the Splattershot Jr., loading it with Comeback and Quick Respawn!  However, some patterns do emerge in which abilities are used the most by players at this level.  From these tendencies and advice from various profreshional players, one can deduce which abilities each weapon would benefit the most from.


 * In the meantime, I will go ahead and add these tables, either along with or within a "Quick Facts" section, possibly in tabular format, as a quick reference for players.


 * DaDoc540 (talk) 02:02, 25 January 2020 (UTC)

About the staff page
Is someone editing the status of the staff page? I've noticed that all the status things say fully active, although some of the users are more in the partially active-to inactive range. Should someone edit that or are we just ignoring that? 01:47, 1 July 2020 (UTC)
 * @FLAME1232 Personally, I haven't bothered updating the status, because I think one week is too short of a time frame to change someone's status. Maybe I'll just change the definitions. 🤔 Heddy (talk) 02:09, 1 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Alright, that seems reasonable, but some of the admins haven't edited for awhile. They might just be here patrolling or something though. That wouldn't surprise me. But yes, changing the definitions might be good. 13:46, 1 July 2020 (UTC)

Chicken V. Egg 2020
I added the chicken v. Egg 2020 stuff, and it's ready for the main page. 12:51, 21 July 2020 (UTC)
 * @FLAME1232 Woooo! I'm so happy to wake up to Splatfest news! Thanks for updating the Splatfest box for the main page. Heddy (talk) 13:05, 21 July 2020 (UTC)


 * I can't wait either! 13:06, 21 July 2020 (UTC)

Weapons Data
Greetings. I am in the process of creating Competitive-focused pages for each weapon in Splatoon and Splatoon 2, such as this one:

Competitive:Splattershot Jr.

Among the sections I copied from the original page for the weapon was the Data. In my humble opinion, this section is of great importance to profreshional players, especially after a version update. wrote to me that you are responsible for the Data sections for each weapon. I thought that it would be easier for players of all skill levels to follow if the data were in tabular form. Is this possible? If so, is there any way you can help me do this?

DaDoc540 (talk) 20:00, 13 August 2020 (UTC)
 * @User:DaDoc540 It would be easiest if you make a table template for the data. That way, you wouldn't have to do any manual work on pages. Are you familiar with wiki templates? Take a look at Template:Charger data S2 for example, you could create a new template based on that, just with a table instead of sentences. You might also want to look at how SmashWiki does table templates. Heddy (talk) 03:26, 14 August 2020 (UTC)

I am going to rename Super Mushroom vs. Super Star to Super Mushroom vs. Super Star (2021) for consistency. Eminence  ( Chatter ) 00:23, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

I reverted your move because there is no reason for the "2021" at the end. I'm just reminding you to ask an admin first, OK? P.J. GT (talk) 00:37, 2 October 2020 (UTC)
 * But every other splatfest page has the year at the end. Eminence  S2 Brand Takoroka.png ( Chatter ) 01:14, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

Admin notice
I have an idea for a notice to be placed on every admin's user page! Like it? エスクヰト・美奈 05:17, 14 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Every person should be treated in a respectful manner. Admins have a strong say about matters but they are people too and can make mistakes. I don't think a notice about the difference between certain functions the admins can do is very welcoming. 07:22, 14 October 2020 (UTC)
 * I agree with Shahar. Everyone should be respected equally. I don't see admin rights as a reward, they are just tools given to users to aid the wiki. Heddy (talk) 13:42, 15 October 2020 (UTC)

Strange Agent 3 trivia.
The user: “Atr” put some strange trivia on the Agent 3 page stating they are a DJ in the Octo Expansion (via the S2 Art book). I didn't believe it, so I undid their edit, FYI. Could you look this up? Thanks. P.J. GT (talk) 14:05, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
 * I skimmed through the Splatoon 2 art book and couldn't find that. They should add a citation with a page number. Heddy (talk) 00:28, 16 October 2020 (UTC)

Thanks! The S2 art book articles are in desperate need of new info JSYK (Just So You Know). Could this be a current project? P.J. GT (talk) 00:40, 16 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Anything that needs work now or in the future can be on the current projects page. It would be helpful if you leave a message on the art book talk page saying what info is needed. Heddy (talk) 15:03, 16 October 2020 (UTC)

Blocking minor vandalism
I saw that you blocked the User:D after a single edit without any warnings or notice. INK:BLOCK policy indicates that instant block would only occur in rare cases that are more clear about their intention. I'm sure that if they had time to reply or repeat their intentions, it would've been a clearer case. Thanks. 10:22, 13 November 2020 (UTC)
 * That's clearly vandalism. No warning necessary. Heddy (talk) 14:32, 13 November 2020 (UTC)

New vandal!

Making the blog,I am kinda flustered on this wiki-Appaerently i intimidated a user :( i didnt know what i was doing was wrong.--Prinz The Overlord 14:35, 21 November 2020 (UTC)

Final fest outfits?
Can I add descriptions of the final fest outfits 4 off the hook? I could easily do these XD--Prinz The Overlord 12:22, 28 November 2020 (UTC)

Apologies.
Sorry about my contribution to the Mario Splatfest talk page. I thought I could share my thoughts it. )X P.J. GT (talk) 16:12, 1 December 2020 (UTC)
 * @P.J. GT We have a Discord text chat set up, I encourage you to join if you want to share your predictions with other Inkipedia users! Our talk page policy discourages general discussion on the wiki, because it can drown out productive discussion about improving the articles, so we have Discord for that general game discussion. Heddy (talk) 18:24, 1 December 2020 (UTC)

Alright. But I don't have Discord because the link forces me to my tablet's App store andI don't have a Google account to download it yet. Its up to my parents to decide if I get one. Sorry for the trouble. P.J. GT (talk) 19:28, 1 December 2020 (UTC)
 * @P.J. GT I have a suggestion that might help with that. Use the web version of Discord by pressing the "request desktop site" button in your tablet's web browser. This article shows where to find it. After pressing that button, Discord should allow you to use their web version on your tablet, no app download required. Heddy (talk) 20:27, 1 December 2020 (UTC)

Patroller
I know my mainspace edits are very low,but I check the wiki regularly and love helping people.I can now look at semi-complicated wikicode and understand it.Does this make up for mostly being on user pages (not sure if this is important but I was once bocked by the abuse filter accidentally,)--  PrinzTheOverlord   [Thangs]   22:36, 4 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi Prinz the overlord, it's great that you love helping people and checking regularly, because that is exactly what we need from patrollers. It looks like you have only a few weeks of experience on Inkipedia, so I suggest editing for a longer time before requesting rights. Also, only main space edits are considered when judging editing experience, so user page edits are ignored. When you decide to request patroller, go to Inkipedia:Requests for Rights and follow the directions. Let me know if you have any other questions! Heddy (talk) 22:49, 4 December 2020 (UTC)

Ink pump
P.J is venting over #free melee, he is using a word that an inkling might sub with 'crab', and in general arecking the ink pump, i know he's a patroller but this cannot be accepted  PrinzTheOverlord   [Splatz]   22:45, 6 December 2020 (UTC)

I've removed the badmouth stuff from the Ink Pump. By the way, the Splatoon pun of “crap” is “carp”, and there is an even worse curse word that starts with a “C” out there that I don't even know, and am better off not knowing.... Sorry about that, I'm just frustrated with how toxic (cruel & self-centered) competitive gaming communities can be and that social media is now a place to spread anger and lies these days. P.J. GT (talk) 23:48, 6 December 2020 (UTC) It's okay we all have off days, and your right, have you ever been on squidboards? The good thing is you deleted it and knew that you made a mistake. That makes you a good person-- PrinzTheOverlord   [Splatz]   23:51, 6 December 2020 (UTC)

I don't think "crap" is considered a curse word, is it? Anyways, that type of post is more appropriate for blog space or user talk pages, as the Ink Pump is intended only for wiki-related discussion. Heddy (talk) 04:02, 7 December 2020 (UTC)

is this account an infringement?
I lost my password on my other account but am still logged in. sorry if this breaks anything.This is going to be my account when I am not at home, --Emperor the overlord (talk) 08:10, 7 December 2020 (UTC)

Or, the internet browser may have saved the password. If you cannot recover the password, then please stop using the old account and only use the new account. Heddy (talk) 13:47, 7 December 2020 (UTC)

In that case,pull the kill switch on my new account-- PrinzTheOverlord   [Splatz]   13:56, 7 December 2020 (UTC)

I have noticed a sharp rise in spam accounts, this is worrying. Its kinda harder to identify them, but if i find any I will help -- PrinzTheOverlord   [Splatz]   16:15, 7 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Don't worry about it, there's always spam accounts and the system prevents most of them from making edits. Heddy (talk) 17:46, 7 December 2020 (UTC)

Something I made for admin
I've been splatting a LOT of spam so i made this - 23:15, 4 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I... don't understand. Heddy (talk) 21:45, 5 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Don't understand life in general or maths!-- 06:39, 6 January 2021 (UTC) i understand wikitext

Maybe spammer
People may have gone over this before, but i think AlexD830 may be a spammer. he reacently put totaly false info on the private battle page, P.J. GT helped fix that, and he has done that before.Squid400 (talk) 17:26, 7 January 2021 (UTC)


 * Spammers are usually robots that insert unsolicited advertisements into pages. Someone who is always adding on-topic information could not possibly be a spammer. If you believe the information they added is false, you should discuss this with them to resolve the misunderstanding. I noticed that someone else added back the information, so there's at least two people who think that information is correct. Heddy (talk) 17:56, 7 January 2021 (UTC)

I reverted that edit because I misunderstood the "Players don't gain points from Private Battles" sentence. I thought that it mentioned both Level-Up XP and a Weapon's lifetime ink coverage don't increase when played in said mode. I've rarely played Private Battles to notice so, sorry for the inconvenience. P.J. GT (talk) 18:11, 7 January 2021 (UTC)


 * AlexD830 has been on Inkipedia for over a year and has made many constructive edits. Although he posted some misinformation, I do not think he is a spammer. 19:01, 7 January 2021 (UTC)

When or if im patroller
Can admin have their email on the user page. I have an Email that is just for a lego account -- 23:38, 10 January 2021 (UTC)
 * @Prinz the overlord: Anyone can add an email to Preferences. Then, other people can email you by clicking 'Email this user' on the sidebar. Please do not add your email to your user page unless you are okay with spambots collecting your email. You can keep your email safe by only adding it to Preferences. Heddy (talk) 02:29, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
 * If you look at my user page, you can see that I added a link to Special:EmailUser/Heddy as one of the ways to contact me; adding it this way protects your email address. Heddy (talk) 02:36, 11 January 2021 (UTC)

Vandal
Please block user L'octaling as he vandalized the Octoleet Goggles page by posting fake information in french.. I reverted his edit though. 16:54, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Ohh vandalism has started over aginn. Ugh...-- 16:55, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
 * That is not blatant vandalism, we must assume good faith. I will assume they are lost and were looking for the French wiki. I gave them a warning about this wiki being English-only. Heddy (talk) 18:36, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Alright. But they were also spreading misinformation so... 19:39, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Hmmm, from Google Translate, it says the goggles can hypnotize. Isn't that how DJ Octavio kept his army under control? And there was Callie's hypno shades too. I think there was a scroll or dialogue or something about that, but I could be wrong. Anyways, adding French is the more obvious problem so that is my primary concern. Heddy (talk) 19:48, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Eminence, please dont assume genders on top of that. A LOT of people think im a boy-- 20:14, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
 * The gender neutral pronoun is 'they'. You can say 'they' if you do not know someone's gender. Heddy (talk) 20:40, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I perfer they or they, she her or Overlord. Also is it too early to ask to become patroller  20:43, 14 January 2021 (UTC)
 * @Prinz the overlord: patroller is not a privilege or a reward; it is a responsibility. I suggest reading about the responsibilities at Inkipedia:Requests for Rights so you can decide if you are ready for that. Heddy (talk) 23:52, 14 January 2021 (UTC)
 * thanks your a lifesaver heddy-- 06:43, 15 January 2021 (UTC)

Sorry :(
I didn't mean to add false info. I thought it said over 60%. Ugh... again so sorry-- 07:30, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
 * There is no need to apologize. Everyone makes mistakes and I make them too, especially when I'm getting sleepy. Heddy (talk) 07:40, 18 January 2021 (UTC)

Strategy: Bloblobber Deco
Since you're an admin, I decided I should tell you. I'm trying to make a strategy guide for the Bloblobber Deco, but I don't really know what to put besides the infobox. Can you help edit the page? Competitive:Bloblobber_Deco BambamOh (talk) 03:25, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Sorry If I'm not what you expected but try adding things that are good to the Bloblobber Deco under a Use section (such as it has good range) but expand on it. Also add things that are bad about it under a countermeasures and expand on it (Such as it has low run speed). Then add abilities that are useful to it(Such as Ink saver (Main)) under a Recommended Ability section and a reason (such as it's good because it can provide more sloshes) ChessMaster   [TALK]  03:44, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you! BambamOh (talk) 03:53, 23 January 2021 (UTC)

List of Weapon Strategy pages
@Eminence and I were wondering if my draft of the List of weapon strat pages was ready to be added to the main space. Thank you! 17:10, 25 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm not Heddy but just chiming in that that page doesn't serve much purpose since we already have the navbox and Category:Weapon strategy. I can see the merit of it as a checklist page for the people creating the articles but don't think it does much in the mainspace that isn't already done. Luke26 (talk) 17:53, 25 January 2021 (UTC)
 * @Squid400 A page creation status checklist is only useful to editors. To create a better replacement for Category:Weapon strategy, think about what a reader would like to see. I have suggestions: it could have a summary of key info from each weapon article (such as role or strengths/weaknesses), and the icon for each weapon. Look at this article for inspiration; see how it provides a broad overview and helps the reader find what they're looking for. Heddy (talk) 18:46, 25 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Ok, thank you so much for that. 18:50, 25 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Also, how could i make a template for that? 18:53, 25 January 2021 (UTC) Im thinking about something like the weapon page
 * @Squid400 You could look at the shooter table as an example, or you could do any format you think of. I recommend deciding on a format to use before thinking of making a template. Templates are generally used to have the same content appear on multiple pages, so you might not need to create a template. Heddy (talk) 19:51, 25 January 2021 (UTC)

Autopatroller
I noticed you changed me to Autopatrolled User. Thanks for that! But what does that mean? ChessMaster  [TALK]  20:22, 28 January 2021 (UTC)


 * Patrollers patrol other users edits to check for spam and inaccurate info. Trusted editors who make large amounts of edits are often Autopatrolled to reduce the amount of unpatrolled edits. Hope it helps! 21:07, 28 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Ok thanks @Eminence! ChessMaster   [TALK]  21:27, 28 January 2021 (UTC)
 * @ChessMaster Here's a page with info: Inkipedia:Autopatrol. Heddy (talk) 22:32, 28 January 2021 (UTC)

Stage icons
Sorry about that Heddy. I should have checked to make sure that they where really screenshots. I see now that they where taken from the SplatNet site. 23:05, 28 January 2021 (UTC)
 * No problem, just be careful. Heddy (talk) 23:57, 28 January 2021 (UTC)

About being off
I had small inconsistent edits for a few days, and was off for about three. I have a valid reason. Me and my friend were hanging about near our local corner shop when this cyclist crashed into him, there was a lot of blood and pain, and I couldn't bring myself to do anything. Is there a punishment for not being on often  19:36, 31 January 2021 (UTC)
 * No! Even Patrollers and Admins only need to edit at least once a week. 22:20, 31 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks, that's good to know also WELL DONE on nearly getting patroller status. :) -- 22:50, 31 January 2021 (UTC)
 * @Prinz the overlord: I am sorry to hear about what happened to your friend. Real life should always take priority over wiki stuff. There is no punishment; autopatrol is not a reward and does not have any perks, so not being on it is not a punishment. Just have fun editing, as often as you want! 😀 Heddy (talk) 23:03, 31 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Heddy you might be happy to hear. I am cross NIWA. This place inspired me so much! -- 23:10, 31 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks Heddy! -- 01:25, 1 February 2021 (UTC)

Patroller
Eminence was on for a month or something longer than me, so if i make A LOT of mainspace edits and request in say, May. Would you vote-- 01:38, 1 February 2021 (UTC)
 * I think the best patrollers are people with good judgement and a friendly attitude, and plenty of wiki experience. If you improve articles, show good judgement and experience, and help other editors with editing and using the wiki, I will be happy to vote for you. Heddy (talk) 18:39, 1 February 2021 (UTC)

Spam
User:LeilaniMaple23 is a spammer, can you block them. There hasn't been a few in a while.-- 19:33, 2 February 2021 (UTC)
 * I know im butting in, but honestly, were is the evidence. all she said is that she likes singing and machining (whatever that is) -- 19:35, 2 February 2021 (UTC):It is a similar format. Also thanks Heddy for blocking the pooperlord -- 19:36, 2 February 2021 (UTC)

A) spam names have a similar format usually, such as (Using a name) DaniSmith97. B) They usually put age and hobby. C) it sounds weird-- 19:38, 2 February 2021 (UTC) P.s What IS MACHINING?!

Once again, the weapon tables
So, i took what someone, dont remember who, to heart about the weapon tables. I think i have made it so readers would enjoy it. if you can, look into it here. Thx a lot for you time. 17:45, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
 * @Squid400: I advise to use standard table styles such as  instead of a custom one. Heddy (talk) 04:03, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Ok, i was just expirementing with the colors. 16:28, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

Demotion?
Hi Heddy, I just wanted to bring it to your attention that WayslideCool has not patrolled a single edit since July 21, 2020. During this time period they have also only made seven edits. I don't have anything against WayslideCool I just wanted to bring this to an admins attention.

Also, the status bar on the RightsList is based on edits, but perhaps the bar should be based on how much the user uses the tools. Because a user shouldn't be a patroller or admin if they don't use the tools these roles provide them. Just wondering, 17:15, 22 February 2021 (UTC)
 * According to the demotion policy, not using rights is a valid reason for demotion. That is a long period of time to go without patrolling, so I decided to change them to autopatrolled. The rights list status is mainly there to help people decide who is the best person to contact for help. Heddy (talk) 20:03, 22 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Ok Thanks! 21:52, 22 February 2021 (UTC)

A request
Hey Heddy, click here. I have a request. If not admin, then like distinguished inklin with custom barnsquid or something. My dream is to make this the best splatoon wiki ever!! Way better than FANDOM!! Carrietta "Carrie" White (talk to me here) 23:09, 22 February 2021 (UTC)
 * @Carrie That's a wonderful dream! I also want this wiki to be the 'wikipedia of inkopolis'. But are you sure you need to be admin? Admin tools are just for deleting and protecting pages and blocking users. It is possible to improve the wiki without being an admin. In fact, the users who have contributed the most are not admins.
 * Usually no one goes straight to admin, they get plenty of experience in multiple areas of the wiki, then become patroller, then become admin. If you want to request rights, you can do so at Requests for Rights, where everyone would vote and provide feedback. Heddy (talk) 23:34, 22 February 2021 (UTC)

Oh, I'm sure. Like maybe patroller or whatever because I basically do patrol for spelling errors n stuff. Go to my talk, if you made your decision. With WOOMIES, Carrietta "Carrie" White (talk to me here) 00:24, 23 February 2021 (UTC) P. S. here is official admin request: Inkipedia:Requests for Rights/Archives/Carrie

Spammer
User:FranziskaBoyland is a spammer. Thought you should know. Squid400 (talk) 16:56, 26 February 2021 (UTC)

Spammer
I don't know if User:ZenaidaEger51 is a bot, but they seem really suspicious. I think they are likely a spammer. Can you please block them? 01:42, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
 * User:Ellen782898 might be a spammer too 02:31, 3 March 2021 (UTC)

Dear,Heddy
Sorry I forgot that it was discussion for the wiki I'm terribly sorry!

Thanks, Yaxops
 * No need to apologize, just be aware of the notice at the top of the Ink Pump page, which reminds us of the purpose of Ink Pump. Have fun editing! Heddy (talk) 00:14, 31 March 2021 (UTC)

Thanks!
Thank you for getting use out of the file I marked for deletion! I appreciate it! 14:42, 5 April 2021 (UTC)

Suspicious user
There is a new user, OCTOd2, that is suspiciously similar to @User:OCTOD2. The user page is almost exactly the same, and they have a very similar name. it could just be that OCTOD2 forgot their password, but.... thought you should know. Squid400 (talk) 15:51, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I left them a message to inform them of the multiple account policy. Heddy (talk) 12:19, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
 * I was wondering what the multiple account policy is. Is there another page to explain it?
 * directed at any admins who see this
 * the octoling girl 16:08, 18 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Hi, the multiple account policy can be found here: Inkipedia:Policy/Multiple accounts. Heddy (talk) 16:32, 18 September 2022 (UTC)
