See who had the most edits and most uploads! The 2020 user statistics are now available.

 * Ugh... Nm im not a bad sport.--Prinz fanart.jpg Queenie the Overlord   [Splatz] Prinz fanart.jpg  20:22, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

I'm just below Yoshiver :D I see the edits are concentrated in the top of the list Yawshi Fan (talk) 03:41, 8 January 2021 (UTC)

Reviv Newsline
So I was readimg the archives for ink pump on Inkopolis Newsline. And I thought to myself hey, this would be kinda cool if the idea was rekindled. Who is with me or am I a sad loner.-- 23:26, 4 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I think it is a good idea. you could work on it in your userspace. Squid400 (talk) 19:00, 7 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks :) i hate how dead our community is -- 19:53, 7 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Where is the Inkopolis newsline? I would like to see what you want to rekindle ChessMaster   [TALK]  20:01, 7 January 2021 (UTC)
 * since the idea was scrapped, theres is only this *Sigh* Blog:Inkipedia Newsline and User:Mr Squid/Inkipedia Newsline. I destroyed a lot on the pages that was inactive and un helpful. Ask the other members. I haven't seen em in a while --  21:14, 7 January 2021 (UTC)


 * Absolute yes! I want it revived! ChessMaster   [TALK]  22:30, 7 January 2021 (UTC)


 * Almost all the editors from the original newsline movement have gone it active at this point, but, if you can find a place for me, I can do pretty much anything. 23:26, 7 January 2021 (UTC)

Gameplay walk-throughs
I was wondering if we would ever provide gameplay walkthroughs for the Octo Expansion and Octo Canyon like it is for Octo Valley. thanks!Ressescups (talk) 20:07, 7 January 2021 (UTC)
 * You can write some gameplay walkthroughs if you want. I believe Yawshi Fan has made significant progress on this and you can contact them on their talk page if you want to help them. 20:24, 7 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Yes I'm working on it :D I don't have a capture card tho, so someone else has to record walkthroughs. Yawshi Fan (talk) 03:42, 8 January 2021 (UTC)
 * And the maps too. You can see the map of stages in the galleries of Octo Valley stages. I wonder who made them and how... Yawshi Fan (talk) 03:44, 8 January 2021 (UTC)
 * The Octo Valley maps were extracted from the game. In other words, Nintendo made them. Heddy (talk) 03:49, 8 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Oohhhh. Someone might have to get to datamining then :/7 Yawshi Fan (talk) 05:22, 8 January 2021 (UTC)
 * There aren't any gameplay footage of Octo Canyon and Octo Expansion since no one decided to record and add them to the wiki. Everyone can add them. I have made for Octo Valley but didn't do the same for the 2nd game. That's why there aren't any walkthroughs on those pages. Shahar (talk) 00:34, 8 January 2021 (UTC)

For the Inkipedia competition
I made this page. Also I read that the winning team of some tournaments get thier own page. User:Prinz the overlord/Splatmageddon!-- 20:46, 9 January 2021 (UTC)

What is the competition about?Ressescups (talk) 20:45, 12 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Fun mostly. Wanna join.-- 21:26, 12 January 2021 (UTC) ps division B or C, C is for beginners and B is for comfortable players

YES, How do I sign up.do you use Signupgenius?Ressescups (talk) 13:45, 13 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Err Idk, maybe u could help with organisation.-- 15:15, 13 January 2021 (UTC)

Do we do turf war and tally up points or something like that?Ressescups (talk) 20:00, 13 January 2021 (UTC)

Poll on main page
I'm a Chrome user, and the poll widget is out of place. It's too large for the mobile interface. Can someone look into that? Thx Yawshi Fan (talk) 23:28, 12 January 2021 (UTC)


 * Strawpoll.me has its own minimal width and height. If we set over it, a scroll bar will be added. We can maybe set to have that scroll in mobile view but I don't think having scroll bar looks good. There's an option to change to Desktop View at the bottom of the page in-case you want to see the page like you see it in PC. Shahar (talk) 14:41, 13 January 2021 (UTC)

View counters are going away
The page view counters at the bottom of the page in desktop mode are going away soon, so enjoy them while you can! They are being removed due to a technical reason: "putting a reverse proxy in front of mediawiki to reduce the load means that the mediawiki software doesn't see all the hits".

Barnsquids
how do i get barnsquids --Bambamoh (talk) 01:11, 20 January 2021 (UTC)


 * No one particular person hands out barnsquids at this point, because there was not enough interest in the movement to go on with it. You can, however, if you feel you have earned it, go to Inkipedia:Barnsquids and follow the instructions there to add it to your user page. Hope this helps! 01:54, 20 January 2021 (UTC)

Inkling personalities?!
Heya it's Carrie! So.. I was just thinking about Inklings. You know, because they smile usually and are mad when they lose battles? Could it be possible to put down some of that on the Inkling page? Thanks. -- Carrietta "Carrie" White (talk to me here) 18:02, 2 February 2021 (UTC) 20:42, 31 January 2021 (UTC)

Inkopolis Memorial Mixtape
There seems to be no page about it. Could make the page or is there a reason why the page doesn't exist? ChessMaster  [TALK]  18:15, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
 * @ChessMaster Good catch! There is no problem with making articles for music. Is that a remix or an original song? Heddy (talk) 22:41, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Pretty sure a remix as it features different songs. I'll work on it soon! ChessMaster   [TALK]  23:58, 5 February 2021 (UTC)

T3zlacoil
does anyone think we should have an inkipedia fan art thing maybe like the one over on nookipidia? does anyone agree? 𝕿3𝖟𝖑𝖆𝖈𝖔𝖎𝖑 18:58, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Perhaps. It could be something for the Inkipedia newsletter, which is in production. What type of ffan art would it be? Lewds and/or comics with heavy explicity are not accepted here on Inkipedia due to the Splatoon series being mainly for children.
