Other Minifests that I would like to tell you about
I have a Minifest held January! Checkers vs Chess is the theme. Also User:P.J. GT is holding some of his own. I thought I could get the word out for him! Theme is Emperor vs Valkyrie (Valkyrie is in P.J. GT's Sandbox). Tell him if you'd like to join! ChessMaster  [TALK]  17:34, 28 December 2020 (UTC)(Also thanks for participating in my Fest! Even for a little while, I still appreciate it!)
 * Sorry but thats cancelled.-- 23:15, 4 January 2021 (UTC)


 * Mine is still being held by the way ChessMaster   [TALK]  01:19, 5 January 2021 (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)

Your recent change to the Inkfest page.
I found out that the dates for some upcoming Minifests were made inaccurate from your recent edit to the Inkfest page. So I fixed them. You may have made a mistake. No hard feelings! : ) P.J. GT (talk) 12:44, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks! Heddy (talk) 19:31, 24 April 2021 (UTC)

Deletion
Can you please splat the file ? Thanks!
 * Files that are in use shouldn't be deleted. That file was used on a talk page, so it should not be deleted. Heddy (talk) 22:42, 28 April 2021 (UTC)

Marking image uploads as patrolled
The only thing that wasnt patrolled at the time of writing was an image which i couldnt mark as patrolled. How can i mark images as patrolled? Thank you Squid400 (talk) 14:45, 6 May 2021 (UTC)


 * To mark an image as patrolled, go to the image page. Underneath the summary, on the right side of the page, there is a link that says "mark image as patrolled." Click on that to mark the image as patrolled. Hope it helps! 15:52, 6 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Alternatively, you can use PatrolTool and select File as the namespace. Heddy (talk) 19:15, 6 May 2021 (UTC)

Something I should tell you about
Inkipediafan has added information not related to the Inkipedia three times. Just wanted to tell you. Also User:WoomyMcBoomy looks to be blocked for an unknown reason. Maybe because of InkaHi. ChessMaster  [TALK]  14:53, 13 May 2021 (UTC)

Multiple User Sandboxes?:
Is it possible to have more than one User Sandbox? P.J. GT (talk) 19:59, 17 May 2021 (UTC)


 * @P.J. GT You can have as many sandboxes as you want in your user space. For example, you could create User:P.J. GT/Sandbox2, User:P.J. GT/Sandbox3, etc. Heddy (talk) 20:14, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Alright! Just wanted to ask permission first. I'm thinking of a personal competitive style for it. P.J. GT (talk) 20:23, 17 May 2021 (UTC)

Sus user:
This new user: “Art Fart” seems suspicious. It could be that vandal from last summer due to their name possibly hinting that. Just warning you about this person. Thanks. P.J. GT (talk) 13:24, 21 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Definitely an odd choice for a username. I will always be watching recent changes for bad behavior. Heddy (talk) 04:54, 22 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Also three users that have just been created that all have Chesca in it's name. Bit sus ChessMaster   [TALK]  23:19, 27 May 2021 (UTC)
 * 2 of those 3 have "Cheesca" and 1 has "Chesca". I think we should see if they are the same person, and if they are, tell them about the multiple accounts policy. If they are not the same person, it's probably impersonation. But by looking at the times these accounts were created, I think they're the same person. 00:03, 28 May 2021 (UTC)

Suspicious user: CherryisTrash
The user CherryisTrash might be a little suspicious. They might be referring to CherryAudino in their name, but it could be something else. Just wanted to let you know. 15:05, 3 June 2021 (UTC)

Sloppy Competitive article creator.
The user; User:Pokidude342 is making competitive space articles that are poorly written and based on their opinions. He should be notified that those articles are for elite, high-skill tournament play info and NOT someone's random personal opinions. Can you tell them, please? Thanks. P.J. GT (talk) 02:21, 5 August 2021 (UTC)
 * @P.J. GT Think of the collaborative spirit of Inkipedia and wikis in general - the best way to handle this is to edit the articles to improve them. If something sounds wrong and is not supported by citation to a tournament winning player or top 500 player, I would just remove what they added. It doesn't matter if the first edit seems like a random opinion, because over time it will be replaced by opinions of experienced players. All opinions are allowed as Inkipedia is a wiki that anyone can edit, though they should brace for the possibility than their opinions may be removed!
 * Perhaps Pokidude342's contributions will kick-start improvements to those articles. Nothing gets people more motivated than seeing some "wrong" opinions on the Internet!
 * As for poor writing, it would be good to give them specific tips about writing. I may do so, and I encourage everyone to help other editors with writing. Heddy (talk) 03:54, 5 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Alright. Sorry about giving poor judgment on the get-go. It just bothered me, and I don't have that much knowledge on high-level competitive play. P.J. GT (talk) 12:32, 5 August 2021 (UTC)

Possible spammer
Please block user Mx39 as they are most likely a spammer. They made this inappropriate edit, but reverted it a minute later. Despite reverting their edit, they should still be blocked per the vandalism policy. Please deal with this as soon as possible. Thanks, 15:50, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I issued a block. Heddy (talk) 18:00, 13 August 2021 (UTC)

Question about the Wall of Fame
Can people who are on the Wall of Fame still be a staff member? I've noticed Bzeep recently made an edit, and I was thinking of nominating her for patroller or admin rights, but I wasn't sure. 20:26, 29 August 2021 (UTC)


 * There is no restriction, so yes they can be a staff member. However, when Bzeep was asked about staff rights on Discord, they were not interested. Former staff members can have their rights back without a formal request just by asking. Heddy (talk) 21:09, 30 August 2021 (UTC)

Question about ship policy
So, I read through the Inkipedia policy and didn't really notice anything about ships. Would it be okay to add a small tidbit about a ship to my user page, so long as there isn't any fanart or inappropriate discussion? Thanks! Avery\_/Fiasco 23:45, 8 September 2021 (UTC)
 * It's fine as long as it doesn't go against the 7 NOs of Inkipedia. Heddy (talk) 05:01, 12 September 2021 (UTC)
 * It better not be that toxic Pearl & Marina ship thing! Cause that's just WRONG! P.J. GT (talk) 14:06, 12 September 2021 (UTC)

Vandalizing
Hey Heddy, User:Dk is vandalizing on Cap'n Cuttlefish and Move It Move It Station (wrong mem cake). Please fix this asap cuz I heard that you should report vandals to admins. BadTimeGamer123 (talk) 21:11, 21 September 2021 (UTC)


 * I undid the edits tho BadTimeGamer123 (talk) 21:18, 21 September 2021 (UTC)
 * @User:BadTimeGamer123 you are correct. Always report vandals to admins. Now they are repeating the vandalism on the Move it Move it page. At first I thought they might've mistaken but now it is vandalism on purpose. ChessMaster   [TALK]  21:34, 21 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the report. Heddy (talk) 02:20, 22 September 2021 (UTC)

Uppercase or lowercase?
Hey, so I noticed you lowercased "version" on the Main Page, and I was wondering since it was a common noun, then shouldn't all "version"s be lowercase, too? For example, I'm pretty sure a lot of pages have "Version" preceding whatever version they're talking about. I just wanted to make sure in case I do a bunch of things that get reverted. 20:26, 29 September 2021 (UTC)


 * @Dedf1sh07 Right, because versions are generic labels as opposed to proper names like "Minecraft: The Bountiful Update", this means they should be lowercase. Heddy (talk) 21:06, 29 September 2021 (UTC)

Hey Prinz here
How do I add my old edits?--Redacted Squid (talk) 16:01, 23 January 2022 (UTC)


 * Hello. It's not possible to add your contribution history to your new account. So, if you ever need to look at your old edits, then you have to look at the old account. Heddy (talk) 17:45, 23 January 2022 (UTC)

Approving my request for rename
Hi. So, I was wondering if anyone like you could verify and potentially approve my request for rename. That would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. 02:50, 8 March 2022 (UTC)


 * It has been approved and will be processed soon. Heddy (talk) 06:58, 8 March 2022 (UTC)

Vandalism!!
There is a vandal by the name of FartEater275 who is running amok! Can you or another person prevent this before it gets even worse? 04:54, 9 March 2022 (UTC)


 * Please Block User: "Farting Stinkies Peeyew" and splat their user page too!!  12:10, 18 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Could you change the block time of user "Ewpootiebun" from 1 week (due to the Abuse filter) to indefinite, as it is the same vandal from this month and eighteen months ago. Plus Splat their user page too please. Sincerely,  13:11, 21 March 2022 (UTC)
 * With pleasure. Though, the initial 1-week block duration (suggested by me on Discord) was intended to make the block less "cruel" in case of false positives, as admins can simply extend the block for, you know, blatant vandalism cases (also my suggestion). — Exaskliri (they/them) (talk | contribs) 13:57, 21 March 2022 (UTC)
 * @Heddy; Please block "Toadette Totally Tooting Toad".  15:01, 27 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Excuse me, Heddy. But, there's a new vandal called "SplatoonHater9000" and i'm trying as fast as i can to revert it back. Can you or anyone block them before it got worse? Samurottlover (talk) 05:18, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

Vandal Alert!
Please block "Troublemaker 3.0" from 2 hours to indefinite, please! 16:08, 15 April 2022 (UTC)


 * Please block "M&M duals".  14:06, 17 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Yeah about that user M&M duals, they are constantly spamming vandalism and whenever I try to undo it, they revert it back! Please block this user. Thanks.
 * SplatonGamer (talk) 14:16, 17 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Please block "Toadette Loves Baked Beans" (Vandal) and "WoomyGirl86" (Impersonating WoomyGirl85)!  14:58, 19 April 2022 (UTC)

kapi from nowhere
my friend got banned like 5 minutes after he made an account. he says he submitted it not knowing that his e button got stuck and was typing. can he be not banned anymore? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Megarxr (talk • contribs) 20:12, 29 April 2022‎ (UTC)
 * Ah, it probably looked like spam to the system. I removed the automatic block. They should be able to use their account now. Thanks for reporting that! Heddy (talk) 21:03, 29 April 2022 (UTC)

Thank You
Thanks for revising my recent edit in the Marina's chat room page. My descriptions can be too wordy sometimes. — Exaskliri (talk | contribs) 09:37, 6 June 2022 (UTC)

Vandal WARNING!
The user "Prya" has vandalized the user pages of "YOLO2020", "Nick the Splatoon Fanboy" and even MINE! Their past edits were also questionable FYI. Can you please block them? (PS; I've already warned Shahar about this.) Sincerely,  19:50, 13 July 2022 (UTC)


 * I’ve noticed this user too. At first I thought their edits weren’t that serious, but now they’re taking it too far. OrderSquid38 (talk) 23:27, 13 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Please block "Peñis Crygor"!  14:08, 31 July 2022 (UTC)

Sandbox

Hey Heddy! I'm relatively new to the wiki, but I'm in spanish class and bored right now, so I was reading through the Shiver talk page and I clicked on some users to read their pages cause I like to. I found a user named Pinkolol16, and their userpage is basically a ragequit from the wiki after the whole Shiver gender thing. Should something be done about this? I came to you because I feel like admins always know what to do in these kinds of situations :). Sorry if I'm a bother. Thanks, Xandpochondria (talk) 17:44, 19 October 2022 (UTC)


 * They're entitled to their opinion. As long as no wiki policies are broken then no blocking is needed. Plus, if they've quit then they're basically self-blocking anyways. I'm happy to help, asking questions is not a bother to me. Feel free to discuss further if you wish. Heddy (talk) 23:07, 19 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Ok, thanks! Like I said, I'm new but I love to help!

how do you request deletion of a page?
How do i request deletion of a page? There is for some reason a page on super smash bros. ultimate which even to someone who hasn’t read the inkipedia policy (me), that seems outside the scope of the wiki and like something that should be deleted. If this is the proper way to request deletion of a page, i am requesting that the super smash bros. Ultimate page be deleted or at least replaced with a link to the smash bros. Wiki. If this is not the proper way to request deletion of a page, or if requesting page deletion does not exist, please inform me. If the latter, then that is an oversight that i believe should be corrected as soon as possible to prevent pages like the super smash bros. Ultimate page from being created. Thank you sincerely, Cruelty to Salmons (talk) 19:16, 19 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Deletion should be discussed on the talk page for the page in question. Regarding Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, it's on the wiki due to having Splatoon content in the game. Heddy (talk) 23:09, 19 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I feel like a page on a video game series that is entirely different from splatoon is outside the scope of the wiki, and that the super smash bros wiki does a much better job of cataloging this video game. Instead of having a page for content that has its own, separate, wiki, we should continue to keep inkipedia content within the boundaries of the splatoon series without branching off into other video games series. Having content only partially related to splatoon in this wiki is, i believe, detrimental to this wiki. I suggest that the super smash bros ultimate page be deleted as soon as possible. Cruelty to Salmons (talk) 14:12, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Hey @Cruelty to Salmons!
 * Even though it is from a different game series, the Smash Bros. page does have a lot of helpful information on it. If someone were to look up information about the Inkling in Smash Bros., the wiki would both provide information on the character, while providing backstory on why this specific character can melt into an orange puddle on the stage! I'd have to check, but maybe there is a link we could provide to the smash bros wiki to put on their page for anyone who's curious.
 * Also, things like the trivia for the Octo Expansion pages can seem off-scope, but it's in there anyways.
 * Thanks for reading and (hopefully) understanding,
 * Xandpochondria (talk) 14:37, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I’ve read the trivia section of octo expansion, and i believe that its entirely fine to mention a video game that is not splatoon in the wiki. Having its own page is something entirely different and is unnecessary for pages that have their own wiki. Inkipedia should maintain its standard of quality and remove unneeded or off topic pages. I have suggested replacing the page with a link to the smash bros wiki, which i believe is a solution that could work just as well as deleting the page entirely, if that is what you want. I would like it if we could reach a compromise. Cruelty to Salmons (talk) 14:52, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
 * There is an entire wiki dedicated to super smash bros, and if people want to learn more about the super smash bros. Version of the inkling then they can use that wiki. If splatoon fans want to learn about smash bros, then they can visit the smash bros. Wiki, and if smash bros. Fans want to learn about splatoon then they can visit inkipedia. They are two separate things.I don't believe there is a page for splatoon in the smash bros. Wiki, so why should there be a page for smash bros. In inkipedia?  Cruelty to Salmons (talk) 15:05, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
 * This wiki attempts to cover every aspect of Splatoon, including Splatoon content in other games. If anyone wants to know anything about Splatoon, they should be able to find it on this wiki. I hope you now understand why the Smash Bros. page will not be being deleted. Thanks! 15:17, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
 * As I stated you need to bring this to the talk page for the article in question. Heddy (talk) 21:53, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Understood, if anyone wants to continue this discussion then it’ll happen in the talk page for super smash bros. Ultimate Cruelty to Salmons (talk) 13:23, 21 October 2022 (UTC)

Stage rotation?
Someone suggested that we should put the stage rotations back on the main page, and I was wondering if one of you admins could? I personally think it's a good idea, since the main page looks a little empty now, but what do you think? ArivakiVA (talk) 16:48, 20 October 2022 (UTC)


 * I agree, the main page could definitely use some sprucing up. Adding back the stage rotations is necessary. while were at it we could also add “did you know” and “featured article” sections like some of the other wikis have. Cruelty to Salmons (talk) 14:24, 21 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Adding rotations is a good idea. However, I do not have the skills to code that. Anyone (doesn't have to be admin) who has the skills and is interested in making it happen is welcome to create it.
 * For the rotation idea and other ideas impacting the main page, it would be best to discuss them at Talk:Main Page. Heddy (talk) 21:40, 21 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Okey-dokey, thanks! I only put it here because someone suggested I ask a staff directly. Thanks for the help! ArivakiVA (talk) 18:24, 28 October 2022 (UTC)

Uploading images from switch?
Uh, what is the best way to get an image from my switch to the wiki? I want to be able to upload an image or two of my avatar to my user page. Just wanted to ask. Thanks for being a good staff! ArivakiVA (talk) 18:23, 28 October 2022 (UTC)


 * The best way to do it is to go to your photos on your Switch, click on the photo you want to upload, and hit "send to smartphone". You can send multiple photos at a time if you need to by pressing "send a batch". Next, scan the QR codes that pop up on the screen with your camera on your phone. That should send the photos to your phone. Then, you hold your finger on the photos, and hit "save to photos". Finally, go and upload the photos to Inkipedia by pressing the gear icon in the top-right corner, and hit "upload file".

Hope this helps! WolfTamer 18:54, 28 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Thanks! I appreciate it! (I just need to get some storage on my dang phone...) ArivakiVA (talk) 19:50, 28 October 2022 (UTC)

The smartphone method WolfTamer mentioned is probably best. Another way is to use the Switch's SD card, and connect the SD card to a PC. You could also use the Twitter/Facebook method but those routes lower the image quality slightly. You can search "transfer photos from switch" on Google or on YouTube if you need detailed steps. Heddy (talk) 01:26, 29 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Alright, thanks to the both of you! I really appreciate the help, especially since I'm relatively new around here. ArivakiVA S2_Gear_Headgear_Golden_Toothpick.png JPTGoldDynamoRoller.png 17:56, 4 November 2022 (UTC)

I have a question about the policy
Does “No revealing personal information” include favorite songs and/or artist(s)? Chrome Wolf (🎙, 🗂). 21:54, 1 November 2022 (UTC)
 * I ain't Heddy but yeah that's totally cool. It's more like, don't let people be able to find where you live or commit identify theft type of personal information that's not allowed. Unless talking constantly about how you are the single greatest Depeche Mode fan the world has ever known and it could be traced to you somehow, you're totally good. Interests are not identifiers. Policy is against identifiers. Trig - 19:44, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
 * I’m talking about general music. Dabbing-ChromeWolf.jpg Chrome Wolf S3 Big Man Render.png (🎙, 🗂). 20:04, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
 * (Still not Heddy) Yeah dude, you're totally in the clear. You won't be able to trace someone's information based on music preferences, unless you have a social account with the exact same phrasing, your face, and a commitment to finding you in real life.
 * Xandpochondria S3_Badge_Toni_Kensa_100.png 22:09, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Alright thanks Dabbing-ChromeWolf.jpg Chrome Wolf S3 Big Man Render.png (🎙, 🗂). 23:28, 3 November 2022 (UTC)

a user breaking policy?
Hey Heddy, there is a user that I have noticed around editing their userpage. On their page, it lists they have two other accounts. I left a note on their page a little while back when they only had one main and one alt account. I'm not sure if this is a big deal or anything- they don't seem to make edits on any of their accounts, and they exist for their ocs. Just wanted to bring this to your attention. The user is Lilsquidy80. Thanks, Xandpochondria 17:41, 4 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Thanks. I blocked the second and third accounts. Heddy (talk) 06:15, 5 November 2022 (UTC)

This is the problem…
I don’t got discord… 😥

If I am causing trouble… I deeply apologize. Chrome Wolf (🎙, 🗂). 02:10, 8 November 2022 (UTC)

Just so you know…
Hi, Heddy. I noticed that a little while ago, you gave the user "Kid" a warning about their repeated vandalism. Well, they are continuing to vandalize multiple pages, even after you gave them that warning. Should they be blocked? WolfTamer 15:12, 8 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Thanks. I've issued a permanent block since they are not showing any signs of acting in good faith. Heddy (talk) 23:11, 8 November 2022 (UTC)
 * No problem! I’m happy to help! WolfTamer S3 Icon Callie.png 23:41, 8 November 2022 (UTC)

Hey, I was told you’d be a good person to say this to,
I created the page Treasure of Alterna, and someone added that it was gonna be merged with the loot anchor page,but I think that isn't a good idea, because it contains information about collectibles that AREN’T inside loot anchors as well, otherwise I would have put it in there.

Thanks! Wind Waker (talk) 19:33, 9 November 2022 (UTC)

Removed Advice
On Wolf Tamer s talk page, there was a conversation that ensued (and at the time did not involve Wolf Tamer) and I told them a good place to have their convo would be a sandbox (they were talking about lore). Then a user named Ink Me Up! deleted it. I tried to revert the edit but it said I couldn't. I rewrote what I said before and also told them they couldn't do that, and here we are now. I'm not sure if you could/should do anything, but I'm telling you now. TL;DR (can I do one of those?), a user deleted some advice/warning I gave them on another user's talk page. Regards, Xan 21:07, 15 November 2022 (UTC)


 * I apologize, it was resolved. Xan S3_Badge_Toni_Kensa_100.png 21:24, 15 November 2022 (UTC)
 * There is no need. The incident happened on my page, not Wolf Tamer’s. Ink Me Up! wrote an apology saying they thought that a comment was a duplicate, and so they deleted it, again, thinking it was a duplicate of another comment. Dabbing-ChromeWolf.jpg Chrome Wolf S3 Big Man Render.png (🎙, 🗂). 21:24, 15 November 2022 (UTC)
 * I will attempt to undo this mistake. Dabbing-ChromeWolf.jpg Chrome Wolf S3 Big Man Render.png (🎙, 🗂). 21:26, 15 November 2022 (UTC)
 * A tip: if you need to restore a page to a prior state, you can select a prior revision from the history page. Each page has an associated history that can be accessed by pressing the History button at the top of the page. Heddy (talk) 23:10, 15 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the tip, Heddy. Dabbing-ChromeWolf.jpg Chrome Wolf ChromeWolf logo.jpg (🎙, 🗂). 00:53, 16 November 2022 (UTC)
 * I did that, Heddy. It said something was incorrect about it so it couldn't be reverted. I think it was bc stuff got deleted and written over. Xan S3_Badge_Toni_Kensa_100.png 01:07, 16 November 2022 (UTC)
