Welcome!
Hey, Kjhf, thank you for the speedy response! This wiki operates slightly differently from the Wikia one, but I think it's much easier and customizable. By the way, do you have a Skype?

 * Hard to tell yet as all my modcons are over on Wikia. Achievements really nice there too ;) My Skype is kribbian - Kjhf (talk) 23:48, 4 June 2015 (UTC)

I'm still kind of new to Wikipedia stuff (I only started today) but I will reformat what you have asked me to! I guess this is the best way to contact you? Cause idk if my last edit reached you. I wasn't able to format it yet but I will soon! DarkPrimeEchoes

Could you add a category to the missions?
Since you are working on the mission article, could you add the missions category to them? --SgvSth (talk) 23:54, 5 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Added :Category:Mission onto Infobox mission. Please use non-plural version. -- Thanks :) Kjhf (talk)
 * I was wrong, categories should be plural. I've changed it to Category:Missions as originally asked. - Kjhf (talk) 01:27, 6 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Not a problem and thanks for adding it to the template instead. :)  --SgvSth (talk) 01:49, 6 June 2015 (UTC)

 * Thanks! Perhaps you want to join us on Skype and we can have a game together? 17:18, 7 July 2015 (UTC)

Yes we can have a game together

Hey there
Thanks for the welcome message! I joined here for numerous reasons, but my main reasons are that using the Wii U Internet Browser I could upload correct quality images and so I can upload better quality images. I also joined on instinct atfer seeing fan-art in Inkling/Gallery. That was pretty unprofessional, so I couldn't have just left it lying there. :P UltraInkling3000 (talk) 12:40, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Made me chuckle, 10/10. Good to have you :) 12:41, 8 July 2015 (UTC)

Question
Yo I've been adding everything from the italian splatoon localization for quite a while- everything's been pretty straightforward by far but I really gotta ask about this one. You know the stage pages? I'm adding Marie and Callie's descriptions to every page and I noted that with some languages, there's the english translation right below. Now, are those lines suppose to be the direct translation of how those dialogues were translated or just what english dialogue it originally was? Because by far, the latter is the one I assumed. Being the only european admin, I beg you for some clarification. --LittleSkullKid (talk) 00:06, 7 August 2015 (UTC)
 * I think it would be best to have a translation of the quotes as the original English quotes we have above. Most of the translations in Italian originally came from English though, so I won't be surprised if there's very few 'original' Italian quotes -- that should make translating back pretty easy.

 * I'm not used to getting a reply on the same discussion page, so took me a while to notice this. For some reason the italian localization stuff actually made some random edits to the original phrases, but yeah- it's mostly the same. I'll keep collecting and translating them all, then.--LittleSkullKid (talk) 17:05, 9 August 2015 (UTC)


 * LittleSkullKid, thank you for all your time and effort adding to the stage dialogue. I definitely did notice that more non-English localization quotes were appearing.  It's much appreciated!
 * Regarding translations, when I first added them to the stage dialogue tables, it was because I found the Japanese to differ sometimes from even the NOE English. For example, in one, Callie talks about warfs being delicious, and Marie suggests she's talking about grapes.  (Japanese word pun.)  I didn't want this information to be lost to readers who do not know Japanese.  It also extends to other languages, such as a German Kelp Dome quote of Marie saying Callie is full of "hot air" while the NOE English says Callie is "sweaty".  (I think the German's better!)  A French one for Camp Triggerfish has Callie is excited to cook hot dogs over a campfire, and Marie proclaims that marshmallows are better, going against their NOA English counterpars.  These all add to who Callie and Marie are in each localization.
 * I did see some quotes where the official English was in the translation slot, and I replaced it with a translation of the localization, so no worries there. Also, I'll update the usage information on Template:StageQuotes to clarify!
 * --Christopher Fritz (talk) 17:23, 9 August 2015 (UTC)


 * I fully understand the joy of collecting all the localizations and looking at how they differ from one another. Plus, I'm also having fun translating the italian quotes as close as possible to their original meaning. I found the stage quote template rather buggy sometimes, but most issues seems to have been fixed over time. Two more things, though: one is the pun explanation for the twelth quote in Arowana Mall. Unless you have an idea about how to make it fit into the formatting, it might as well be removed from the page code. The other thing is the first quote from Blackbelly Skatepark - Callie speaks two lines before moving to Marie's one. For now, I simply wrote both lines in one. Given the short text space of the usual stage quote, I guess people can easily assume that it's two lines rolled in one, so it might be fine to leave it like that.--LittleSkullKid (talk) 12:33, 10 August 2015 (UTC)
