Are there any plans for other versions of Inkipedia besides English and French in the near future? Perfectionist (talk) 21:34, 15 October 2021 (UTC)


 * That depends on demand. The webmaster would likely agree to host a new language if a group of highly dedicated and motivated individuals ask for it. I think the low activity at the French Inkipedia shows that there isn't much demand for non-English Splatoon wikis. Heddy (talk) 00:36, 6 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Wouldn't a Japanese translation (along with some Japanese links/sources) be used a lot by the Japanese player base because of the amount of people in the Japanese player base is a lot larger than NA, OC and EU player bases respectively? (Note I am assuming this last fact but have done minimal research Splatoon 2 Sales World Wide) OctoCat (talk) 20:42, 26 December 2021 (UTC)
 * There are already at least two Japanese wikis that I know of. Why translate this wiki when they already have their own wiki? Heddy (talk) 10:30, 10 January 2022 (UTC)

Weapon strategy main page
Currently the page linked from the main page is a category and that isn't really professional. I get the Squid400 has a page but it hasn't really gone foward recently. I'm trying on a draft and I'd like to see your thoughts. I'm trying to make it similar to the weapon page but instead is filled with competitive-minded stuff. Here's the page -> User:ChessMaster/Draft ChessMaster   [TALK]  21:16, 27 October 2021 (UTC)


 * Wow! I saw this and thought it was awesome! I bet you worked hard on it. :) /ꚍꚕ℮Ꮟ℮⍺Ꭶꚍ\  /:Tαℓк:\  23:21, 29 October 2021 (UTC)
 * You betcha I have! And it's not done yet! ChessMaster   [TALK]  23:34, 29 October 2021 (UTC)

What are Barnsquids?
I've seen a few people's user pages and all of them have these things called Barnsquids but I have no idea what they are, and I looked up Barnsquids on the wiki, found the page, read it, but still really don't understand, like how do I earn them? Or do I just stick them on my user page when I accomplish their requirements? Can someone please help explain. Tornado (talk) 19:54, 31 October 2021 (UTC)


 * you can just put barnsquids on your user page once accomplishing the requirements. For example, 10 edit barnsquids is for once you made at least ten main space edits. See Template:Barnsquids for help. BadTimeGamer123 (talk) 20:33, 31 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Ok! :) ~ Tornado (talk) 01:12, 1 November 2021 (UTC)

I made some edits to the barnsquids page. Hopefully this makes it clear how to use them. Heddy (talk) 03:22, 3 December 2021 (UTC)

Issues on my user page
Hello :) It's me again(sorry). I was trying to add a table of contents to my user page, but it shows up on the middle of my page and disappears when I try to edit the page and move it/remove it. Does anyone know what this is and maybe help me out? Thanks, 12:37, 1 November 2021 (UTC)SplatZ

New Page Idea
I did a bit of looking around and saw that there was no Page about the (disturbing) noises heard in the story mode, and I was wondering if I should create a page about it, or at least a section on the Octo Canyon page about it? thanks, 17:10, 5 November 2021 (UTC)SplatZ
 * It already is mentioned in the Easter Eggs page so I don't think a page is needed about it. ChessMaster   [TALK]  17:21, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
 * I didn't know about that, sorry. 13:07, 9 November 2021 (UTC)

suggestion…
I was wondering if we could make a page specifically about the new squidbeak splatoon if there isn’t one already… and maybe add more great turf war facts with a page for that?Octosquidfishyling?!?! (talk) {from Octosquidfishyling?!?!}

There's already a page about the Squidbeak Splatoon. Here it is. As for the Great Turf War facts... As far as I know, neither game really tells you much about the Great Turf War. But if you find anything in one of the artbooks or something, you're welcome to put it on the page! Making a page about the Great Turf War has the same problem as before--there's just not enough info. Hopefully they give us more in Splat 3. I appreciate your taking initiative though! Avery_TSP (conversing) 17:27, 24 December 2021 (UTC)

Oh and here's the page for the New Squidbeak Splatoon. Avery_TSP (conversing) 17:28, 24 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Great Tuf War is also a page already. (Click this for the page)  ChessMaster   [TALK]  18:14, 24 December 2021 (UTC)
 * aaa I didn't even realize! oh gosh that's embarrassing... Apologies for not doing my research beforehand >.< Avery_TSP  ( conversing ) 00:13, 25 December 2021 (UTC)

2021 user stats finalized
When the 2021 user stats were released early, it naturally did not include data from days that had not passed yet. Now that 2021 has completely passed, we have generated an updated report.

Enjoy the 2021 user stats! How much did you contribute to Inkipedia? Are you surprised at your ranking in the statistics? Heddy (talk) 22:16, 4 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Definitely surprised by the amount I did :D  ChessMaster  ''' [TALK] 00:03, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Me too! 😁  00:22, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
 * I joined in 2021 but started helping in 2022, so I did absolutely nothing lol Pixel Moone 21:55, 31 January 2022 (UTC)

Signatures?
how do I make a signature?SplatMaster (talk) 00:08, 24 January 2022 (UTC)


 * See the signature policy for help creating a signature. 15:39, 24 January 2022 (UTC)

New Splatoon 3 Manga?
There appears to be some leaks circulating about a Splatoon 3 arc in the manga. Should the main manga page be updated with this information? (Including the recent release of vol. 16 in Japan..?) Cynical Prince (talk) 03:20, 27 January 2022 (UTC)


 * It's already mentioned at the end of the plot summary section in Splatoon (manga). Shahar (talk) 07:23, 27 January 2022 (UTC)

Q about adding links
Hey, I was trying to link Omega's page to another page, and since the page is called Omega (character) I was wondering if there was a way to make the link appear as "Omega" instead of "Omega (character)" just to make it look nicer. Thanks. 14:53, 27 January 2022 (UTC)


 * Just format it like this: Omega . Hope it helps! 15:29, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you! 15:53, 27 January 2022 (UTC)

Manga characters that could use a page of their own
While I was uploading manga character images a little while ago, I kept track of the characters that don’t currently have a page. So I’ll list them here:

Characters that absolutely need a page: Fierce (Fierce Fishskull), Jet (Jetflame Crest), Justice (Eye of Justice), Laceless, Double Egg, and Red Sole.

Characters that could have a page but don’t really need one: Aviators, and Half-Rim.

Can we further discuss creating these pages here? Cynical Prince (talk) 16:49, 28 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Although I’m not a huge fan of the manga I do agree that they need pages. I don’t know much about some of these characters, but I’ll definitely help work on these pages and might be able to make ones for some of them. :) 21:02, 28 January 2022 (UTC)
 * If they desperately need doing and you have the information to go on, then feel free to have a go at creating any of the pages yourself! All help is good help! GloverMist (talk) 21:21, 28 January 2022 (UTC)
 * I would definitely like to create pages for those characters, however, I kinda don’t even know how to create a page yet… If I knew how to though, the manga section would be in good shape to say the least. Cynical Prince (talk) 21:33, 28 January 2022 (UTC)
 * To create a page, go to the search menu and type the name of the page into it. Search it and then chose create the page. Type in stuff after that.  ChessMaster   [TALK]  21:36, 28 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Ok. Thanks! Cynical Prince (talk) 21:40, 28 January 2022 (UTC)


 * You can just copy the layout from another page and add your own text. 21:53, 28 January 2022 (UTC)

New Username
Hi, could someone tell me how to change my username?

Thanks, BadTimeGamer123 (talk) 00:41, 29 January 2022 (UTC)
 * I think you just put in a request here: Inkipedia:Requests for Rename. Hope this helps. :) 00:49, 29 January 2022 (UTC)

.52 Gal Strategy Page
So I was reading up on the .52 Gal page (just bought it in Splatoon 2) and I saw there was no strategy page. Was this left out or something? I'm posting it here because I know nothing about online strategy except for Anchors, Skirmishers, Supporters, and Slayers and to annihilate all opponents recklessly, so I can't make this page. Can anybody tell me why this page doesn't exist or if someone who understands online strategy can create this page?

Thanks, Pixel Moone 21:53, 31 January 2022 (UTC)


 * Many competitive pages get added at times so it takes time for a specific page to be competitive. The ones that don't have pages aren't being left out on purpose, it usually takes time for them to be created (.52 Gal isn't the only one that doesn't have a page)  ChessMaster   [TALK]  00:56, 1 February 2022 (UTC) (I can make it soon)
