How do you add pictures?
I’m new to Inkipedia and I am on mobile, is it possible to add pictures on mobile and if so how?IronPuppy3 (talk) 15:44, 24 June 2020 (UTC)


 * If you scroll to the bottom of a page, there should be a link that says “desktop” or “mobile view”. If it says “mobile view” there, you are in the right place. If it says “desktop”, click the link and it should bring up a completely different view of the page. On the left is a list of links, and the third from the bottom will say “upload file”. Click the link and it will bring you to a new page. There should be “choose file” button, click that and it should bring up your photos, (or whatever you use if you use an android or something) after that it’s relatively self explanatory. If you need anything else (or if this is too long) just contact me again. I’m still here unless I am not, 20:17, 24 June 2020 (UTC)

Thank you! IronPuppy3 (talk) 13:20, 25 June 2020 (UTC)

Questions about Agents&The main page news
Why do people make agt 3 not a teen agt 4 is 18 and should be the not childish one and agt 8 should be looking around and stuff (Mipha (talk) 22:50, 28 July 2020 (UTC)) Mipha


 * You should add that callie and marie costumes are beaung added to super smash bros ultimate on the main page (Mipha (talk) 22:57, 28 July 2020 (UTC)) Mipha


 * How and where is agent 3 childish? Is this just manga and stuff or fanfic or did I just miss a huge part of the story? (Actually, it can be debated wether agent 3 is 18 or not. It is possible that Marie’s comment is just another whopping fourth wall breaker) And also I think that that might have been added at some point, but it’s been a month. 23:52, 28 July 2020 (UTC)

Can't access top right menu
I can't access the drop down menus on my user name on the top right of the page! Is there a problem? Does anyone else have this problem? P.J. GT (talk) 17:58, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
 * What exactly do you mean by drop down menus? If you're talking about the alerts and notices icons I can still access those. I don't know what other drop down menus you could be talking about. Inkling luke.png Inkling talk.png 20:29, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
 * I think he is talking about the mobile view drop down menu when you click on your user name. If that is what he is speaking of, then I am having this problem too. 20:32, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Right! I tested on Safari on my phone and it worked fine but when I switched to mobile view on my computer it didn't. Will pass on to Prod to see what's up. The wiki just upgraded to a new version so hiccups are expected. Thanks! Inkling luke.png Inkling talk.png 20:42, 26 June 2020 (UTC)

Yes, it is Flame. PS: Just to let you know, the web browser I use is Google Chrome. P.J. GT (talk) 21:11, 26 June 2020 (UTC)

Still can't access Alerts and notices! P.J. GT (talk) 21:42, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Everything should at least partially work now. You may have to wait a couple minutes for the fix to start working. 22:27, 26 June 2020 (UTC)

 * Okay, I'll make some new graphs when I can. Heddy (talk) 05:17, 10 July 2020 (UTC)

Policy change: notability of people
Notability is now defined for real people! The notability policy now determines which people can have their own Inkipedia article. Please comment if you have any ideas for improving this policy. Heddy (talk) 05:18, 5 August 2020 (UTC)

Infobox Colors help!
I'm struggling with finding new Infobox colors. Can someone please show me a template and a list of all the colors? Thanks. P.J. GT (talk) 18:41, 6 August 2020 (UTC)

Famitsu Guide Renders
Any chance that someone happened to have the Guidebook that these renders originate from? Was wondering if there were any left. ZBroadcast (talk) 15:02, 11 August 2020 (UTC)

Should there be a page for Rider?
So I was looking for ways to help the wiki, and saw that there was no Rider page (Manga). I looked at it’s history and saw it was deleted a while ago, I have the first volume of the Manga and I think I could maybe help?Sliverslider (talk) 23:45, 17 August 2020 (UTC)
 * If Rider is one of the main characters then I don't see why not. you can create a draft, and move it to the main article space once it's ready. Create your draft at User:/Draft (you can replace "Draft" with a different name). ShaharSig2.pngShaharSigtalk2.png 21:30, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I see that Rider is already covered on the list of Splatoon manga characters. Is Rider significant enough to have his own article? Is there enough content to write paragraphs about his personality, beliefs, appearance, behavior, history, character development, etc.? Heddy (talk) 01:20, 19 August 2020 (UTC)

Strategy pages - ability loadouts
Me and a few others have noticed hostility and unnecessary conflict over recommended abilities on the strategy pages.

To eliminate conflict and better serve readers, I propose that we stop recommending individual abilities and instead have a short list of ability loadouts from Top 500 players and tournament-winning players, each with a citation to support its inclusion on the page. Heddy (talk) 23:01, 3 September 2020 (UTC)

I've written a new format on the Splattershot Jr. strategy page. The idea is that ALL abilities can be added there, not just a few. If some abilities are more optimal than others, it can be written in that section why they are better, with details on strategy and effectiveness in combination with the weapon. This way, there should not be fighting over what abilities are listed, as we can simply list all of them if editors desire. Heddy (talk) 19:01, 9 September 2020 (UTC)

Someone have and idea for stop this? Splatoon635 (talk) 18:52, 8 September 2020 (UTC)
