Spoiler tag
Shouldn't we, like, RETURN the spoiler tags for splatoon 3 rotm pages?? Greasy Hot Dog (talk) 14:33, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Yeah, we've had that thought ourselves, personally. At the very least we should try to make some of these articles a bit more spoiler-friendly. Compare Telephone showing the Telephone in the infobox with his true form as Tartar in the Gallery. There's no quote at all on his article, but all mentions of his true role as Tartar are off-handed in the article opening with no real further elaborations outside the actual body of the article. Contrast that with Mr. Grizz, and... Spoiler with his true appearance in the infobox, quote that actively comes from before his final boss fight, yet no mention of his role in Splatoon 3 outside of him simply returning? When you have his quote about breaking squidkind as a quote, you'd think the actual opening paragraph would drop all pretense too, but that's where it relents, we guess. While the problem of spoilers becomes less and less pronounced (at least until the holiday season hits) as more and more day one players finally beat Return of the Mammalians, it's still quite a concern just because the current state of some of these articles is incredibly clunky, due in part for trying to include details that are considered high spoilers. 19:50, 25 September 2022 (UTC)
 * I don't think his true form is the most appropriate picture for Mr. Grizz's infobox. For 100% of Splatoon 2 and 99% of Splatoon 3 he's just a bear statue, so that may be the best fit for the infobox. Heddy (talk) 01:14, 4 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Yeah, especially for new players like myself
 * Dry Paper Hammer Bro (talk) 19:45, 25 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Why would the RotM pages need a spoiler tag? It should be pretty obvious what each page contains from the article title and the first sentence. The first sentence of an article is usually something like "SubjectOfArticle is a TypeOfThing in Splat2 and Splat3", so when it says that and you haven't completed the story of Splat3, then common sense says to not read that article. Heddy (talk) 01:36, 4 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I am personally of the belief that wikis should not have any spoiler tags. You are knowingly entering, interacting with, and contributing to a comprehensive database. You inherently then should understand that spoilers are not only inevitable but a necessary point of data. Hiding it will therefore, in essence, hide the details about a particular topic and therefore the entry will not be complete. If you want to avoid spoilers, avoid the site and come back when you are ready—at least, that's my philosophy. Trig - 02:11, 4 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Not all articles that contain spoilers are obvious spoilers... Greasy Hot Dog (talk) 12:07, 5 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I'd say to cut down on spoilers on pages in which they can easily not be included all over the place or at the very start, like the Mr. Grizz article just so people don't accidentally get spoiled. It's a once in a lifetime opportunity to experience something for the first time, so we might as well make it so that the wiki isn't like treading through a minefield of spoilers for newer players. -Gulliblepikmin

I am in favor of kepping spoilers minimal. I saw the mr grizz page and had it spoiled for me. Octohachi 22:11, 11 October 2022 (UTC)

Bytes
Im new to this wiki so i was wondering what these "Bytes" we have are? Im seeing them next to peoples names on the edit history tab and im not sure what they are nor is there any information online, so if someone could tell me what they are then that would be great Barracuda (talk) 19:39, 23 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Bytes are an amount of data. On Inkipedia it roughly means the amount of characters (letters and symbols) in the page. The one in the brackets to the right of it with either a + or - is the difference in the amount of bytes in the revision compared to the previous one.  02:31, 24 September 2022 (UTC)


 * To be more exact, it's how many bytes were added to/removed from the page after said revision. For exmaple, if you were to change a ten-letter word into another ten-letter word and nothing else, it would say (0) because the page ended up being the same amount of bytes as before your edit.
 * 19:43, 25 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Ah, that makes a lot of sense, thanks for clarifying! Barracuda (talk) 14:53, 26 September 2022 (UTC)

Huge weapon images
I've noticed that the S3 weapon images in the infoboxes are way too big and most don't even fit in the infobox. Is this just me or does this happen to everyone? This occurs on a lot of devices. Also, the REEF-LUX 450 infobox image is the 2D image, not the 3D image the other weapons have. The 3D image exists, I just don't know the file name. Could someone tell me what its filename is? Thanks, 15:25, 24 September 2022 (UTC)


 * The weapon files are in form . You're looking for File:S3 Weapon Main REEF-LUX 450.png or File:S3 Weapon Main REEF-LUX 450 Flat.png. I don't know if the 3D image have been uploaded for S3 yet? But that's e.g. File:S2 Weapon Main .52 Gal 3D.png.  00:09, 3 October 2022 (UTC)

Notice templates
Okay, we're all familiar with ? But at the moment they are very obtuse.

I propose that:


 * 1) { {Todo}} notices should be moved to the talkpage
 * 2) Stub and Construction is removed completely, in favour of Incomplete. Draft is unaffected.
 * 3) Notice templates that refer to a section only, should go in that section and not at the top/bottom of the article (e.g. 0 shell)
 * 4) Editor notice templates that the reader doesn't care about or "get in the way" should go at the bottom of the page. These include Disambig, Incomplete, Images, Move, Protect, Delete.
 * 5) Notice templates that provide contextual information that the reader would care about should remain at the top, or in the relevant section. These include Archive, Conjecture, Future, Leak, Proposal, Real, Unofficial.

Love to hear thoughts on this. 16:51, 25 September 2022 (UTC)


 * I don't object to the templates themselves so much, but I've definitely seen them being used irresponsibly the majority of the time. Someone thinks more content is needed on a page or section, so they stick a or something on it and never touch the page ever again. Notice templates are not for assigning homework to other editors. Consequently, we'll probably want to do an audit of all of their current uses and clean those up before deciding what needs to change going forward. --GuyPerfect (talk) 17:01, 25 September 2022 (UTC)


 * I think instead of moving some of these somewhere they would be noticed even less, they could be reworked to take up less space. Right now the borders and images are pretty big in like, all of them, which probably makes it feel even more like they're "getting in the way".
 * Taking some examples from another wiki I'm active on, see how their disambig template is just that one line of text + separating line at the top? In general, a lot of their templates that are made to be inserted into pages or sections are much thinner than Ikipedia's: see stub or incomplete. I'm not going to link them all (though I could if asked) because I think I'm being clear enough already: imo, completely redesigning some of these could be more helpful (they're still seen, but are less of a bother if you don't care at the moment).
 * But even apart from visibility, I'm just not sure about moving stuff to the bottom. Like, disambig pages aren't usually that big and that template is almost redundant anyway so I wouldn't really mind it that for one. But if the point of Move and Delete are to start discussion about said move or deletion, I fear moving them to the bottom is going to do the opposite of helping.
 * 19:38, 25 September 2022 (UTC)
 * I too feel like making them smaller would be a good idea. MissDelibirda (talk) 19:46, 25 September 2022 (UTC)
 * I understand a lot of this, but don't agree to all of it. The number one thing is that all of the templates are just so big, and if they were able to shrink down a bit it may reduce clutter. I think to-do on talk pages is a good idea in theory, but would voice the concern that people wouldn't remove the thing to do after it happens. I would agree with making Incomplete template a switch that defaults to missing information, or, if Stub is entered as a variable it will change the message to just say the article is broadly short or inconclusive, as opposed to Incomplete which implies a specific segment of the page is not correct. Section three is fine, and I am surprised it is not being done already. I really disagree with moving the templates in point four to the bottom. Those if anything should be seen right away to know that a major event is going to happen to the page, even as a reader. This page I am referencing constantly for something, maybe as a website link? It could be affected soon. That is pertinent information. Again, if the sizes of these templates were smaller it may reduce space lost before content begins. I do not think there is substantial difference between delete tags and unofficial tags. Would never have thought about GuyP's point, but if it does appear to be an issue, putting stricter guidelines or creating a single to-do maintenance page with linked headers could be applicable solutions. Trig - 17:42, 26 September 2022 (UTC)
 * At the moment "incomplete" means a section is lacking, but since "incomplete" is, in English, a binary term, an article that is 99% done, and another that is 1% stubbed, are both deemed incomplete. Construction is a particularly strange one as all pages in a wiki are "under construction". 20:13, 26 September 2022 (UTC)
 * I've shrunk the size down on the default parameters, but I don't see this being a resolution 20:10, 26 September 2022 (UTC)
 * I agree with you in every way but one. The distinction between stub and incomplete is that the former describes an article with minimal information that needs to be expanded in an unknown but large number of ways, while the latter should be used for an incomplete table or an article that lacks particular information whose absence may otherwise go unnoticed. In the latter case, the template also indicates to the reader that information in the article or section may not be comprehensive. 02:10, 29 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Moving "todo" to talk pages seems like a good idea. Hopefully it will encourage more productive use of the talk pages!
 * Regarding moving templates to the bottom of the page, this isn't practical for some templates like Template:Image which are sometimes placed in a specific section to indicate that section is missing content.
 * Regarding stub and incomplete, I don't think stub should be removed. In the same way that hospitals practice "triage" to deliver fast care for urgent needs while making patients without life-threatening needs wait hours before they get care, wikis benefit from categories indicating which articles are most desperately in need of attention. A "stub" article needs more attention than an "incomplete" article. Of course, it could be argued that Inkipedia is too small to need this distinction (Wikipedia which has 5+ different categories describing how complete an article is, necessary due to Wikipedia's size) but I would argue that we do need the "stub" template as we often see editors asking "what needs to be worked on the most?" and I think the answer is "stub articles"!

Split Pages By Tabs
The fact that you need to scroll through two games' worth of outdated info to get to the Splatoon 3 stuff makes this wiki a bit bothersome to use, especially when trying to find weapon and sub info and such. To fix this I propose splitting each article's info into seperate tabs that you click on to access each game's version of the item. This would be a decently-sized project due to the writing work required to fill in the gaps, but I think it would be worth it for the increase in readibility and future-proofing for any more additions to the series. Batbrain1998 (talk) 23:14, 27 September 2022 (UTC)


 * That's not true; firstly, information about Splatoon and Splatoon 2 is not "outdated info", and secondly, you do not need to scroll through anything. Simply look at the table of contents and click the link for what part you want to look at, then it will take you to that part of the article. At-a-glance info for the most recent game is available in the infobox at the top of the page. Heddy (talk) 15:16, 1 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Agreed. MissDelibirda (talk) 15:29, 1 October 2022 (UTC)


 * As for the idea of tabs to split pages, it seems like an idea worth considering. I have seen some websites do it successfully, but I don't think I have seen a wiki do it successfully. I have seen some discussion about this topic on this wiki's Discord, and it seems the main problem with the Tabs wiki extension is that it causes some info to not be available for users with JavaScript turned off in their web browser, which is a big problem if true. Our infoboxes don't use the Tabs extension, instead they use custom code which is designed to fail gracefully if JavaScript is disabled. Since tabbing entire wiki pages is such a radical change, and since we already have tabs working in infoxboxes, it may be best to continue things as they are, making sure any info that people often look for is in the infobox. Heddy (talk) 15:55, 1 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I like the tabs approach but would be hard for the majority of articles that reuse bits of information or the info has not changed cross-games. Agreed that we should have more information at a glance in the infobox. 00:13, 3 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Would like to mention tabs are extremely poor for SEO. Would not recommend this to the point of encouraging their own page per game before adding tabs. I also don't think they're that user friendly, personally. Trig - 02:15, 4 October 2022 (UTC)

Infobox standardization for RotM
Much like InfoboxMission/OctoExpansion, I believe the wiki would greatly benefit from a standard infobox template for missions in Return of the Mammalians. I would do this myself if I were more experienced with template making and if I were confident I could handle the case of Hero Gear properly, but alas I am not. Also, the page for Hero Gear still needs to be made and used in place of the incorrect "Hero Shot and Smallfry". 05:40, 28 September 2022 (UTC)


 * This appears to be well underway :) InfoboxMission/RotM 00:14, 3 October 2022 (UTC)

Suggest: move Rare weapon to separate page
Now that Wildcard Rotations and Rare Weapons are in two games with different properties in each, and Salmon Run Next Wave currently incorrectly links to Rare weapon, I think it should be turned from a Redirect page to its own article. 22:34, 2 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Agree and it already was its own article under "Rare". I've now moved it over the top of rare weapon and made it a redirect, and chopped up the rare weapon section in the salmon run article. Feel free to merge as appropriate. 00:03, 3 October 2022 (UTC)

Anarchy Splatcast Dialogue
Hi, I think that we really need to add Deep Cut's dialogue from Anarchy Splatcast, both normal and Splatfest. I remember that there were some issues with how to display it, since it is between 3 people. I haven't heard anything about it in a while, so I was just wondering what happened. Even if we just display it in 1 column temporarily it is better than nothing. A few minutes ago I responded to someone on another talk page, and I needed to include a quote from the Anarchy Splatcast dialogue, so I had to restart the game 3 times to get the particular one I wanted, and then type it. It would be much easier if the dialogue was on Inkipedia. 07:21, 3 October 2022 (UTC)


 * I totally agree with you, like Anarchy Splatcast (and Splatoon 3 in general) only have a month of released, I think its more hard for us to add it completely, maybe we can do a test in a Sandbox and then add it to the real page ;)
 * Splat635 12:14, 5 October 2022 (UTC)
 * As it has already been out for almost a month since its release, the Splatoon community might give into this idea.
 * I like this. ChromeWolf (talk) 13:18, 14 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Do you think that we need translations for Deep Cut Dialogs? Chrome Wolf🐺 (🎙). 21:17, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Probably, but by now people are already working on that. ArivakiVA S2_Gear_Headgear_Golden_Toothpick.png JPTGoldDynamoRoller.png 18:58, 9 November 2022 (UTC)

I have an idea for 8 way ranked for rainmaker at least. wrong place LMAO
￼soooooooooooooooooo have it so that players spawn in a circle and the map is big like humpback pump track or whatever have rainmaker spawn in it's normal spot but make it so that all players have a goal and you need to get the rainmaker to the opponents goal to knock them out of the game when the RM gets to the goal or the player holding it dies it resets but with no shield no superjump cuz too op and useless at the same time.Last one standing wins ovc everyone for themself ovc. premotes being aggressive but doing that can ez stab you in the back cuz if you die then you need to respawn and people can make a Sprint to your goal. also no qr with the exception of cooler if you die with rainmaker so no meta for U. :U StAmPmOmEnT (talk) 00:39, 6 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Please the next time write your ideas in other places, like your Sandbox for example, good idea tho

Weapon Types
Hey, so I noticed that under the current projects page, someone said that brushes and blasters need to have their pages edited so that they say that brushes and blasters are their own weapon category. I just wanted to confirm, is this true? Thank you! ArivakiVA (talk) 17:11, 7 October 2022 (UTC)


 * I think that brushes and blasters are there own thing they are too different to rollers and shooters to be the same but don't edit them yet StAmPmOmEnT (talk) 18:11, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * im not sure if the Splatoon community has said this tho StAmPmOmEnT (talk) 18:12, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Alright, thank you so much! Just wanted to make completely sure. :) ArivakiVA (talk) 18:28, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Oh yeah, by the way, if you're wondering where I heard this, go to current projects and I think it's under the Splatoon 3 preparations page. ArivakiVA (talk) 18:31, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I think they've all been edited to the correct weapon type by now. Thanks StAmPmOmEnT! ArivakiVA (talk) 18:29, 14 October 2022 (UTC)

um
I have a question for the admins(pls respond to this): where do we put concept ideas? do we put them in our user discussion page or is there a collective page for it?

@Heddy or any other admin(I forgot the others sorry) the octoling girl 18:56, 7 October 2022 (UTC)


 * i think your sandbox StAmPmOmEnT (talk) 04:30, 8 October 2022 (UTC)
 * You can put your ideas in your user space like at User:The octoling girl or User:The octoling girl/Sandbox (type any page title after the slash).
 * Inkipedia is an encylopedia, so it doesn't have a designated place for fan-made content.
 * It may be best to use a real blog site like tumblr, because that's easier to use, and easier for other people to find what you create. Heddy (talk) 07:13, 9 October 2022 (UTC)
 * @Heddy,
 * I understand what you mean, but I literally have almost no social imprint. I have no websites like instagram or Tumblr, so I don't have a blog. the octoling girl 23:26, 9 October 2022 (UTC)

Salmon Learn
There is a website named Salmon Learn which shows how Goldie Seeking and Flyfish logic work. It's where I got the Goldie Seeking graphs from. We need to add its Goldie Seeking strategies. The Epicness9000 (talk) 02:25, 8 October 2022 (UTC)


 * cool StAmPmOmEnT (talk) 04:30, 8 October 2022 (UTC)
 * When using a website as a source for wiki edits, you should add that site as a reference to the page you are editing. There is no need to notify us here, you can just add the site link to the page you are editing. Heddy (talk) 07:21, 9 October 2022 (UTC)
 * When Goldie seeking, I have learned (from experience) that if the hatch is shining the brightest right as it hides, that will be where it is hiding. Although you might not have the best luck finding it, there seems to be patterns in some cases. Hopefully, this helps you in future Salmon Run matches. ChromeWolf (talk) 13:20, 14 October 2022 (UTC)

Splatoon 3 Concert.
If any of us have info on the newest concert, I think we should add it on a page, but I don't know what page. And also, if Nintendo got new lyrics to any of the songs, I think it would be appropriate to post those on the respective songs. Rozelia The Octo06 (talk) 03:44, 10 October 2022 (UTC)


 * There is the page Bankalive for the latest concert. I have not heard of any new lyrics yet. We are probably going to have to wait for an album for Splatoon 3's soundtrack.  06:02, 10 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Alright. Thanks for adding that guys. If you find any more info, this is the spot to put it! Oh, and maybe add to Bankalive a set list as well, that might be a good addition. Rozelia The Octo06 (talk) 02:02, 12 October 2022 (UTC)
 * The set list is already in Live performances. I think that it would a good addition to the Bankalive article temporarily until it can be combined with the dialogue like how it was done for previous concerts (like here: Haicalive_Kyoto_Mix). I will add it.  02:09, 12 October 2022 (UTC)

Inkipedia help pls
Hello splat fans! I’m new to having an inkipedia account thing (I’m definitely not new to the inkipedia) but because this stuff is quite confusing to me I think I might bit of an explanation on how to edit stuff like files and grammar. Also with the splatfest coming can someone convince to pick a team I have no idea what to choose… any way thanks for reading!!Glitch♩ink (talk) 05:51, 10 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Hello Glitch♩ink,
 * There is some editing help here: Help:Contents. I also find it useful to look at the source for pages with similar things to what I want to add.
 * To edit grammar, just click edit, make your changes, and then click "save changes". For editing files, do you mean uploading new versions, or changing the information about the file? To upload a new version scroll down to File history and click "Upload a new version of this file". There are further instructions there. If you would like to change the information with the file you can edit it the same as other pages.
 * For the Splatfest, I am going with team Fire, since I picked Charmander when I played Pokemon FireRed. If you can't decide you could wait until the Splatfest gets announced in game and choose based on what the members of Deep Cut say.  06:30, 10 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Wow Thanks GX 64 ! You definitely helped me, and I think I’ll go team fire then Glitch♩ink (talk) 07:50, 10 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Honestly, I have never played Pokémon at all (don’t judge me), I honestly just made up my own theme with the teams. So I chose water. Chrome Wolf (talk) 15:07, 23 October 2022 (UTC)

Deep Cut-RotM
So, I noticed that Deep Cut has a stub article on their page, being RotM. Is there anything specific that needs to be added? I edited it not that long ago, but it still says that part is a stub. (also happy belated international Octo day) ArivakiVA (talk) 17:05, 10 October 2022
 * Feel free to remove the stub template if you feel that section is complete! Heddy (talk) 04:05, 12 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Alright, thank you! I was just wanted to make sure. Thanks for the help! :) ArivakiVA (talk) 17:09, 12 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Oh, right, and...I don't know how...I'll try to figure it out though! ArivakiVA (talk) 17:10, 12 October 2022 (UTC)

Adding the missing songs of C-Side
There are at least 2 more songs that have not been added to the wiki. Any ideas? ChromeWolf (talk) 13:22, 14 October 2022 (UTC)


 * If @GX 64 has any information, I will be more than happy to help ChromeWolf (talk) 13:23, 14 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I think the reason that they haven't been added yet is that they don't have names, although some songs have been added that don't have names, such as Chaos Carnival. I am thinking that maybe the part about them in the C-Side page could be extended to include more information. I don't know if the files for them exist yet on Inkipedia. I will check tomorrow.  13:46, 14 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Alright, thank you @GX 64. I'll look into it ChromeWolf (talk) 14:55, 14 October 2022 (UTC)

Curent stages and stuff
for s2 on the front page we had the current stages snet2 shop and salmon run just wondering if we are adding that back for s3 Particle Zero (talk) 13:23, 14 October 2022 (UTC)


 * I have a feeling those have been added ChromeWolf (talk) 13:24, 14 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Apparently the stages from the previous Splatoon game are already in the lists, not in the Splatoon 3 because they are already in two games, and I believe they just don’t want isn’t to be shown twice. The same goes for Salmon Run NEXT WAVE music.
 * Foes this answer your question, @The octoling girl? Chrome Wolf (talk) 14:49, 23 October 2022 (UTC)

 * The SplatNet2 info was hidden on the Main Page to prevent confusion from Splatoon 3 players. If anyone wants to step up and create a Splatoon 3 equivalent for the wiki, they are more than welcome to create it! Heddy (talk) 22:15, 17 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Oh I thought that was something that was a work in progress or going to be added by the admins sometime, because I think a tweet said something about a new main page. Its nice to have some clarity on that. Cruelty to Salmons (talk) 19:01, 19 October 2022 (UTC)

Shiver's gender
Should we remove the article about Shiver's gender, since it's been confirmed? I'm just wondering, because I don't really feel like it's necessary anymore. ArivakiVA (talk) 16:45, 14 October 2022 (UTC)


 * There's an entire article about that? What page are you referring to? Heddy (talk) 22:09, 17 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Oh, oops. I'm dumb. wrong term, sorry! I meant a section, not an article. So sorry! ArivakiVA (talk) 17:14, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
 * It's a section on her character page, I just used the wrong term. Sorry Heddy! I'm just new around here, haha... ArivakiVA (talk) 17:19, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Been there, done that. Chrome Wolf (talk) 14:51, 23 October 2022 (UTC)
 * @ArivakiVA Next time you can just link to it like Shiver by using the wiki code, so that we know what you're talking about.
 * Since this topic does not impact the entire wiki, you should discuss this at Talk:Shiver. There is already plenty of discussion there, just add a new topic specifically about your desired changes to the article. In general, information should not be removed from a wiki unless it is inaccurate or out-of-scope, so you need to have a good reason to remove content, and the majority of editors need to agree with you. So, go to Talk:Shiver to start that discussion. Heddy (talk) 15:10, 23 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you! I was just wondering. ArivakiVA (talk) 23:23, 23 October 2022 (UTC)

Sorry, I'm really new here, so I have no idea how most of this stuff works, but how do you create a page? Sorry about this...but thanks. ArivakiVA (talk) 18:14, 14 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Thats actually a good question, i dont know the official way to do it, but if you put whatever the name you want your page to have in the search bar and search it, there should be a pop up that say "create the page "(whatever you searched)" on this wiki!" with a red link to create the page.
 * I highly doubt thats the only way to do it tho. (btw if someone can tell me how to create categories please do) Lake (talk) 19:45, 14 October 2022 (UTC)
 * That is one way to do it. Another is to (when on a page) use WhatLinksHere to type in the page you want to create. This can be done with categories as well, just by entering Category: to the start of the name. An alternate way is by having a broken link (in red) on a page, and then clicking said page to make the page. There is no so called "Create Page" page, though. Trig - 19:58, 14 October 2022 (UTC)
 * You can also create new pages like this https://splatoonwiki.org/wiki/Newpage. Replace Newpage with the page title, and it will say: "There is currently no text in this page. You can search for this page title in other pages, search the related logs, or create this page." click "create this page" you're now creating a new page! Greasy Hot Dog (talk) 16:53, 17 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I really wouldn't create pages unless you know a lot about the subject, but I usually add in missing information, just to help out. ChromeWolf (talk) 12:19, 17 October 2022 (UTC)
 * But welcome to Inkipedia ChromeWolf (talk) 12:20, 17 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you all so much! Honestly, I didn't expect so many replies. But thanks for not making me feel dumb, oof. Have a nice day! :) ArivakiVA (talk) 17:49, 17 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I was asking because I want to make a page regarding Inkfest info for an Inkfest I want to host. ArivakiVA (talk) 17:50, 17 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Okay, I'm having trouble, how do you change the name of a page? I need to change the name of my Inkfest info page. Here's the link if you want to join though. User:ArivakiVA/Chocolate vs. Vanilla ArivakiVA (talk) 18:35, 17 October 2022 (UTC)

Splatoon 3 Inkfests?
I saw that some events named “Inkfests” were made time ago by the Inkipedia community but that there are none in a long time, and Idk I think its good to try to start again with these custom splatfes-like events now with Splatoon 3, even if there are Splatfest ocurring, maybe a way to enjoy being part of the Inkipedia Community? Idk it will be something we should think together, don’t ya think?

Platelet✨(talk👌🏻) 23:30, 16 October 2022 (UTC)


 * I think it would be a great idea to start doing the Inkfests again. It would be a great way to make friends across the wiki. They aren’t to hard to do at all. Having three teams might be a challenge though. :) S3 art 3D Inkling splat.png Oddlildude ( chat )[[file:S3 Inkling E-liter Scope Render.png|45px]] 00:38, 17 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Ok @Oddlildude and @Platelet, should we make a page and throw out ideas, or is that something we should do on the discord? I'm not allowed to have discord :(, but maybe someone could throw it out there? People could maybe come up with ideas on discord, vote for it, and then announce it on the wiki tab. And maybe we could have multiple games going on at once, run by different people on the admin/ patroller team. I definitely think we could organize something though! DFTBA, Xandpochondria (talk) 14:37, 17 October 2022 (UTC)
 * then announce it on the wiki tab* I meant the news tab, whoops! Sorry! Xandpochondria (talk) 14:38, 17 October 2022 (UTC)
 * If you are thinking about that, could we maybe have a Halloween Inkfest? the octoling girl 00:06, 21 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I was actually thinking about hosting my own Inkfest! Currently I just need to make a rules page for it. I'll add the link to the page once I'm finished if you want to join! ArivakiVA (talk) 17:52, 17 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Okey dokey, here's the link, sorry about the name of the page though. Still need to fix it. Fest is called Chocolate vs. Vanilla! User:ArivakiVA/Chocolate vs. Vanilla ArivakiVA (talk) 18:37, 17 October 2022 (UTC)

@Xandpochondria I think if we’re able to make a page for it on the wiki due to some not having discord. Of course the page would need to be marked with the UNOFFICIAL category. Oddlildude ( chat ) 19:12, 17 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Hi there, I have moved your Inkfest page to User:ArivakiVA/Chocolate vs. Vanilla. Pages for Inkfests should be made in the userspace, not in the mainspace. Thanks! 19:19, 17 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Also, if you have any other questions about Inkfests, feel free to contact me or another Inkipedia staff member. 19:22, 17 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you so much! Sorry, I'm kinda new to this, so I didn't know. I'll keep that in mind. Thanks again! ArivakiVA (talk) 19:54, 17 October 2022 (UTC)

Inkfest, anyone? Chocolate vs. Vanilla
Hosting an Inkfest for the first time! I thought this through for a while and finally decided to do it! Here's the link to the page if you want to join/see the rules! Hope I at least get 5 people... :,) Oh, yeah, so sorry for having said I was doing this 3 different times, or something...I just need as many players as I can get. (User:ArivakiVA/Chocolate vs. Vanilla) ArivakiVA (talk) 18:58, 17 October 2022 (UTC)


 * I noticed that you said "North America time", but there are at least 4 different time zones in North America. You should probably say which one. Heddy (talk) 22:27, 17 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Oop, sorry. I forgot about that. I think it's the PDT time zone? (Thanks for telling me!) ArivakiVA (talk) 17:00, 18 October 2022 (UTC)

where to tell meta and combos
where to put this it's burst bomb combo with level one fizzy indirect or direct and a direct slosh from a curtain meta dominating weapon that may or may not already shoots thru walls this makes it more op FuN StAmPmOmEnT (talk) 19:33, 17 October 2022 (UTC)


 * I don't know whether it's necessary to add combos...maybe if you really want to you should put them in your user sandbox. I just don't think they should be added to an actual page...maybe ask someone on staff? They'll probably know. ArivakiVA (talk) 19:57, 17 October 2022 (UTC)
 * You can add strategy info to the weapon strategy articles. Heddy (talk) 22:08, 17 October 2022 (UTC)

Gear tabs
Currently, the tabs at the bottom of pages relating to headgear, clothing, and shoes are organized by amount of stars. This makes sense in the first two Splatoon games because the amount of stars can be changed, but in Splatoon 3, they can be increased, making the organization unhelpful. I think that we should change how they are organized. Besnhasthefun (talk) 11:37, 19 October 2022 (UTC)


 * That was my doing after a discussion with the Discord server, bearing in mind that the gear is listed in order of default stars, so in my opinion, the boxes are still useful for that. But we can consider it! GloverMist (talk) 17:06, 19 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I find this request/suggestion useful, however I do agree with @GloverMist on this one. Chrome Wolf (talk) 15:10, 23 October 2022 (UTC)

Rating
Considering how hard After Alterna is, do you think we should add a difficulty rating? Chrome Wolf🐺 (🎙). 02:14, 29 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Well I guess that’s a good idea, but because of all the skill differences and blah blah blah, maybe we shouldn’t, and with different weapons too. Also I’m pretty sure you were meant to post that in the Alterna page. Welp that’s my thoughts. Glitch♩ink (talk) 08:02, 29 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I was thinking of all of the hero mode (including Octo expansion) levels have a rating from 1 to 5 stars. Chrome Wolf🐺 (🎙|20px, 🗂). 13:25, 29 October 2022 (UTC)
 * But I don’t know what the admin thinks about this. Chrome Wolf🐺 (🎙, 🗂). 16:57, 29 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I love the idea, however difficulty is generally an opinion. Like I know some people who struggled with the OE Octo Oven but I beat it first try. I agree with Glitch that you should bring that up on the Alterna page, and maybe someone there can give you a sure answer. 19:07, 29 October 2022 (UTC)

 * Inkipedia should only contain facts, not opinions. Since a difficulty rating would be an opinion, it doesn't belong in an Inkipedia article. Heddy (talk) 00:46, 7 November 2022 (UTC)

Should we Have a Page for all Splatoon Lore and/or fan Speculations and Predictions?
So that all lore could be recorded in one spot so that you can see what events connect to each other. Wind Waker (talk) 14:46, 29 October 2022 (UTC)


 * I don’t think that’s a good idea. This wiki is about Splatoon facts, and very little lore. Fan speculation isn’t really necessary. 15:07, 29 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Agreed, unless lore counts as Easter eggs.
 * Do they count? Chrome Wolf🐺 (🎙, 🗂). 15:13, 29 October 2022 (UTC)
 * No, lore is a separate thing made mostly by fans 15:24, 29 October 2022 (UTC)
 * We’ll maybe not fan speculations then and just the actual story, instead of searching through tons of pages to find out about all the events and how they connect. Wind Waker (talk) 17:37, 29 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Actually, I dont think its a good idea to have a page about lore because its not “official”, the pages that covers that functions are the Sandbox and maybe the Blogs. You can make a page named “User:Wind Waker/Splatoon Lore” or something like that, that page would be completely yours and there you are able to add everything you want (at least everything that respects the Inkipedia Policy). Platelet✨(talk👌🏻) 21:01, 29 October 2022 (UTC)
 * From what i've experienced, lore is more facts and not fan-made or anything. Maybe the term is used wrong, but I've used the word lore for canon.
 * Xandpochondria S3_Badge_Toni_Kensa_100.png 00:19, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
 * That's true, but people can have different opinions on if a part of lore is true or not, since it might not be outright stated in official sources. 01:14, 3 November 2022 (UTC)


 * I think that this a great idea. the octoling girl 15:03, 29 October 2022 (UTC)

Uploading images from phone
Uh, how exactly do you make a file name for something from my phone? I'm also confused about the 'destination filename' part...sorry if this is a dumb question, I've just never done this before. Thanks for putting up with my dumb questions, everyone! ArivakiVA  02:00, 30 October 2022 (UTC)


 * The destination filename is what the file will be called on the wiki. By default it is what the file is called on your phone, but you should replace it with one that describes the file better.  02:59, 30 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I have had the exact same problem before. When I was trying to upload my screen recording of my Smallfry singing. I just named it Smallfry sing.mov or whatever Chrome Wolf🐺 (🎙, 🗂). 14:07, 30 October 2022 (UTC)

 * Okay, so I just figured out that my phone is too ancient to actually upload photos, so I guess I'll have to try uploading them from my switch again..... ArivakiVA S2_Gear_Headgear_Golden_Toothpick.png JPTGoldDynamoRoller.png 17:27, 1 November 2022 (UTC)
 * If your trying to figure out how to send photos from switch, go to your photos, then to your selected photo, then “send to Smartphone”, then you will get two QR codes, the first one is to connect to switch Wi-Fi (I believe), and the second goes to the link containing your photo/recording. I do believe GX 64 has talked about this in a Main Page, but I am not entirely sure. S3 Murch Render.png Chrome Wolf S3 Big Man Render.png (🎙, 🗂). 23:34, 1 November 2022 (UTC)

Inkling Language (Alterna Edition)
Seeing as how we have the Alterna script done, I'd like to say I think I made a discovery, but I don't have a full grip on what it says. So there's a sign in the end sequence of the main story, one of those little areas reminiscent of Octo Expansion's weapon select area (ah who am I kidding that whole campaign is based off of OE). It's the sign that looks like a warning, with a graphic of a person on it. It says some gibberish, but then it says "I wunt you fyr fluwh to moom". I'm assuming it says something like "I want you for fly to moon" but I don't really know. I would use an image but I don't have a capture card to show. I'm going to replay the end sequence to find some more stuff. Happy Splatoween btw! Rozelia The Octo06 (talk) 00:50, 1 November 2022 (UTC)

Using Pronouns instead of Genders
Hello all! I was reading through old talk/discussion pages when I came across Shiver's. (https://splatoonwiki.org/wiki/Talk:Shiver) @Slate had the idea to use pronouns instead of gender. Although there aren't characters that use pronouns other than their specified gender, it would be helpful in the future for if, or hopefully when there are characters who have pronouns other than he or she. Please, respond with your thoughts! Xandpochondria 00:13, 4 November 2022 (UTC)


 * It seems a bit less formal for a wiki, in my opinion. I mean, it's okay, but only if characters with other pronouns show up. That's just my opinion though. ArivakiVA S2_Gear_Headgear_Golden_Toothpick.png JPTGoldDynamoRoller.png 16:48, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
 * I say, no. It’s hard for that not to come across rude, because I don’t mean to be rude. Wind Waker (talk) 17:31, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
 * I don’t believe that would be necessary. Pronounced are preferences on how people want to be called, but I doubt it is needed on fictional characters. Dabbing-ChromeWolf.jpg Chrome Wolf S3 Big Man Render.png (🎙, 🗂). 16:14, 5 November 2022 (UTC)

 * Ya, I’ve gotten all the logs already, I just didn’t know if it was like a Tartar situation where they didn’t tell who the “professor “ was ingame, but announced later that it was Judd’s owner kinda thing. Wind Waker (talk) 12:38, 7 November 2022 (UTC)
 * After doing some research on it, (cuz I can’t seem to beat After Alterna), still has not been confirmed in any of the logs, including log.exe. Dabbing-ChromeWolf.jpg Chrome Wolf S3 Big Man Render.png (🎙, 🗂). 14:34, 6 November 2022 (UTC)

New template?
Should we create a template for a salmon run infobox? I mean, we already have one for Splatoon 3 and the Octo expansion. 23:16, 6 November 2022 (UTC)


 * We could! I'll try to if everyone agrees (and if I can find out how). I don't think it should take too long. ArivakiVA S2_Gear_Headgear_Golden_Toothpick.png JPTGoldDynamoRoller.png 19:03, 7 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks! That would make things a lot easier in the future when more Salmon Run content is released (i.e, new stages, Big Run, etc.). 21:52, 7 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Ok, I'll just let you know now, it'll probably take a week or two...but I also have a really dumb question that I probably should've asked before accepting the job, what exactly do you mean by a Salmon Run infobox? Like, how is it different from any other infobox? Just asking, I'll probably be able to figure it out though. Thanks for the suggestion though! ArivakiVA S2_Gear_Headgear_Golden_Toothpick.png JPTGoldDynamoRoller.png 18:01, 8 November 2022 (UTC)
 * You know how Splatoon 3 infoboxes all share the same color, right. Well I think that we should create a template/new color infoboxes universally so that all salmon run pages will have the same color instead of just sharing their color with the Splatoon 3 infobox templates. 19:24, 8 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Oh, alright! Thank you for elaborating, and I'll make the template as soon as I can. (And I'll let you know when I'm finished!) ArivakiVA S2_Gear_Headgear_Golden_Toothpick.png JPTGoldDynamoRoller.png 19:38, 8 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you so much! 23:04, 8 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Wait real quick, I think that there is not a necessary specific template for each color of infobox, instead there is site colors. I.E, there is an S3 site color for Splatoon 3. I could probably talk to an admin about adding a salmon run site color. Thank you for trying to help though! 01:19, 9 November 2022 (UTC)
 * ‘necessarily, not necessary. Sorry if that confused you. 01:22, 9 November 2022 (UTC)

 * “the Ink Pump serves as a general place for the Inkipedia community to discuss the wiki as a whole, whether it be ideas, proposals, technical issues, or notices”
 * yeah, I’m pretty this discussion is fine here. Wind Waker (talk) 17:27, 11 November 2022 (UTC)
 * This isn't a wiki-wide thing. If it affected the entire wiki or a whole lot of pages, then I feel that would be fine, but not two pages that need merged. Xandpochondria S3_Badge_Toni_Kensa_100.png 18:36, 11 November 2022 (UTC)
 * It’s not like this page is sacred, it’s just a discussion page, simple as that. You’re taking it a little to far. It’s really not a big deal. At all. Wind Waker (talk) 20:16, 11 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Please cease the unproductive discussion, and use Talk:Treasure of Alterna instead, as that is the proper location to discuss this. Thank you. Heddy (talk) 23:53, 11 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Doesn’t this go under the category “notices”? Wind Waker (talk) 18:12, 12 November 2022 (UTC)
 * This would not be a notice suitable for this page. The statement at the top of the page is not meant to be understood as "to discuss the wiki as a whole... or post any notice I wish"; it's meant to be understood as "to discuss the wiki as a whole... including things such as notices that impact the wiki as a whole".
 * Furthermore, it's important for page move discussions to be under the applicable page, so that if someone reading an article wants to research why it was or was not moved, they can find that discussion on that article's talk page where they expect to find it.

Polls
Does anyone know what happened to the page where you could submit ideas for polls? I've searched everywhere and I can't seem to find it. Hescracked75 (talk) 17:50, 13 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Polls ended because it was an admin practically forcing and reminding people to do it every month. Apologies, Xan S3_Badge_Toni_Kensa_100.png 01:52, 14 November 2022 (UTC)
