User page weapons template
Hey I made a template for the little weapon icons that some of you guys have on your user pages. It's at User:Bzeep/Weapons, hopefully you'll find it a little easier than having to do it all manually. --Bzeep!   talk   20:04, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

What's up with cdn.wikimg.net?
Hey, is anyone else having problems with images? Like uh, a 522 error from Cloudflare? Yeah I thought something was wrong with the whole site, but apparently it's just the... image host? Image server? Whatever it's called. Can't see full images or thumbnails or anything unless they're from before this started, I think. There's a couple thumbnails that show up, but not for anything new.

Anyone else getting this? What's it mean?

 * You're not alone, there are bunch of us that also have these problems. --AmbientDinosaur (talk) 12:11, 18 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks for bringing it up. Our server master, Prod, has fixed it. If you still have problems, let us know - thanks! ~Super Hamster  Talk 16:56, 18 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Ah cool, looks like it's working fine now. --Bzeep!   talk   22:19, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

Hi, having prolems playing music (Final Phase with DJ Octavio - Squid Sisters interference)--Adster1005 (talk) 12:09, 20 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Aw christ, not again. It's the whole thing dude, not just the audio files. Can't see anything. I mean, unless you wanted to see an error page from Cloudflare. If so, you're in luck 😛😛😛 --Bzeep!  <font face="SimSun"><font color="#f7c282"> talk   13:45, 20 December 2015 (UTC)

OK, thanks --Adster1005 (talk) 19:36, 20 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Everything should be fixed now, sorry about the problems. OS somehow got corrupted so rebuilt the image server.  No files are stored on the server itself, it was just the web server, so there should have been no damage to any files.  Please let me know if you notice any further issues. -- Prod (talk) 04:48, 21 December 2015 (UTC)

OK, thanks --Adster1005 (talk) 11:34, 21 December 2015 (UTC)

Nintendo Badge Arcade Page
Now on 3DS, don't now if you've noticed, there is Nintendo Badge Arcade. And a couple of days ago they put Splatoon badges on, so I was just checking if we should add a page. Of course if you don't want to, we don't have to. --Adster1005 (talk) 09:56, 19 December 2015 (UTC)
 * References to Splatoon in other media 12:37, 19 December 2015 (UTC)

OK Thanks, should we add images or not?--Adster1005 (talk) 12:49, 19 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Of course :) 13:21, 19 December 2015 (UTC)

OK I'll sort it when I get in or if anyone else wants to.--Adster1005 (talk) 14:23, 19 December 2015 (UTC) Just sorting it now.--Adster1005 (talk) 09:35, 21 December 2015 (UTC)

Images
Can we use images that have been uploaded by other users?--Adster1005 (talk) 18:56, 21 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Yes :) 20:10, 21 December 2015 (UTC)

Stage Quotes (at the top of screen)
Could we possibly have a differentiation of quotes on the top of the stage pages, because they are only NOA as far as I can see. Please could you add NOE please. What does everyone else think?--Adster1005 (talk) 21:42, 21 December 2015 (UTC)
 * I think the stage quotes at the top is just flavour text for the page and really is of no consequence. (I'm not even sure why they're there!) If there was a particularly good NOE quote then we could use that instead. However I can't think of any pages that would benefit from using a NOE quote instead of an NOA quote.
 * 01:04, 24 December 2015 (UTC)

OK, because I used the site before I became a user, and every time I clicked on a stage, I'm like, woah!, there's been a new quote released, scrolled down to English quotes, found it, looked to the side and it's NOA. And some of ours are PRETTY funny! --Adster1005 (talk) 09:27, 24 December 2015 (UTC)

Blank Ink
Why has the Ink gone white with a black border? I've seen this on a couple other pages too. Anyone else getting this trouble? --Adster1005 (talk) 22:55, 23 December 2015 (UTC)
 * I see no problems. 00:24, 24 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Any particular examples or pages or screenshots? 01:06, 24 December 2015 (UTC)

Here: --Adster1005 (talk) 09:22, 24 December 2015 (UTC)
 * To make the color names's initials into lowercase like "dark blue" and "blue". and check the color names from here. Template_talk:Ink --Azoth (talk) 09:39, 24 December 2015 (UTC)

Thanks to you all --Adster1005 (talk) 12:32, 24 December 2015 (UTC)

Tables?
Does anybody know how to make a collapsable table??? I've noticed users other than me having a hard time to use these? --Adster1005 (talk) 14:51, 24 December 2015 (UTC)
 * You can take the code from other templates and adapt it, however I've made a help page for it which you might find useful.

Thanks --Adster1005 (talk) 10:23, 25 December 2015 (UTC)

New Barnsquids?
I made some new barnsquids for weapons, what do you think? --Adster1005 (talk) 19:15, 27 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Basic Splat Roller.jpg - 0p - 100,000p turfed
 * Good Splat Roller.jpg - 100,001p - 399,999p turfed
 * Advanced Splat Roller.jpg - 400,000p - 699,999p turfed
 * Amazing Splat Roller.jpg - 700,000p+ turfed

Recommended Abilities and Gear
I think we should start adding recommended abilities and recommended gear to each weapon article (examples here and here). Once that's done, we can compile all of these recommendations into a table on its own page. If you're interested in helping out (I know Azoth and NepetaLast have been working with me recently), leave a reply below or add your name to the 'Recommended Sections project on the Current Projects page!

 * I've been working on it... I just sometimes have no idea what I'm doing and I've been fairly inaccurate... People always redo my edits. :P --PeriwinklePanther32 (talk) 13:03, 30 December 2015 (UTC)

Can we make a blog whenever?
Can we make blogs? --Adster1005 (talk) 18:48, 29 December 2015 (UTC)
 * There's a blog about that! 😉 --<font face="SimSun"><font color="#f2992e">Bzeep!  <font face="SimSun"><font color="#f7c282"> talk   18:52, 29 December 2015 (UTC)

Amiibo
Should we do walkthroughs of Amiibo challenges? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Adster1005 (talk • contribs) 08:56, 30 December 2015‎ (UTC)
 * Most of the time, the Girl and Boy challenges are more or less the same as the normal ones in terms of general strategy. I can't speak for the squid challenges, though. 15:51, 30 December 2015 (UTC)
 * I say we do them. In addition to that, we need walkthroughs for every Octo Valley level. We're really lacking in that front. We should have a walkthrough section and then an Amiibo Challenges section that provides tips on how to complete each challenge for each mission. -ShrimpPinsig.pngSquidIcon.pngShrimpPinTalk.png 16:13, 30 December 2015 (UTC)

Okay, I'll probably start them after New Year! --Adster1005 (talk) 19:32, 30 December 2015 (UTC)
 * I'll gladly help out with this, too. I got all three Splatoon Amiibo figures over the holidays. :D --PeriwinklePanther32 (talk) 21:24, 30 December 2015 (UTC)

Yeah. So did I! --Adster1005 (talk) 22:52, 30 December 2015 (UTC)

Signature Prototypes
I have been wondering about hiw to get the Signature Prototypes and on how the members of staff have them. If you know on how to get one, please leave a comment below ^_^ User:Ikakizzu 9:34 (GMT) 31 Dec 2015
 * There's instructions on the signature policy. They work the same way as templates =) 21:41, 31 December 2015 (UTC)
