 * Hello, @Octoling E s3. You can check my user page in the source editor. Try creating a sandbox like User:Octoling E s3/Sandbox and mess with the templates and see what to use for your talk page, and the wiki. Remember, your sandbox, your limits. Take some inspiration with my user page, or maybe others (just don’t edit others).

Inkfest
Hi there! I saw that you wanted to do an Inkfest over on the Ink Pump! Maybe we could co-host one together! I was thinking maybe a Stringer v.s Splatana Inkfest. 23:56, 24 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Also, I saw that you are eligible for the 10 edits Barnsquid! If you want, I can show you how to put it on you userpage! 23:58, 24 November 2022 (UTC)

 * And thank for the Barnsquid help! I'll let you know when I get it on here. Octoling E s3 (talk) 00:00, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
 * You're welcome for the Barnsquid help! Also, I have read your rules for if you were to help host an Inkfest. The rules are fine with me! 00:14, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
 * That's great! I'ma post the idea on the Ink Pump. And since it was your idea, I'm going to give you full credit for your idea. I always give out credit where credit is due. Octoling E s3 (talk) 00:27, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Wow! Thanks a lot! 00:29, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
 * No prob! Heck, it's already done! Wanna check it out? The title's called "Another Inkfest, Anyone?" Octoling E s3 (talk) 00:34, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
 * It looks EPIC! 00:36, 25 November 2022 (UTC)

 * Sweet! Octoling E s3 (talk) 03:02, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
 * I'm going to make a page for it right now. Maybe we could have dialogue from the two of us like how the idols talk about the Splatfest theme? But first, team Stringer or team Splatana? Octoling E s3 (talk) 03:05, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
 * I’d be down for that, also, I’m team Stringer! 16:24, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Here is the art! It isn’t very good, but it is something!

We have (potential) participants!
Chrome Wolf and ArivakiVA have both expressed that they want to participate! 16:22, 25 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Hello! Apologies for jumping in, but I might also want to participate! Also, I might be able to make some art (stringer/splatana wins) or maybe a more in-depth splatfest art in my own time. Let me know what you think :) Xan  S2_Brand_Toni_Kensa.png 16:31, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Oh wow! Thanks so much! That would be very appreciated! What team will you be on? 16:44, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks! I could also make some art! Like the official art for every Splatfest. Octoling E s3 (talk) 22:47, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
 * @Octoling E s3 Yeah, you could make the cover art! (since mine was only a placeholder) 22:56, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Oh no, I like your cover art! I mean like, for example, the official art for Rice vs. Bread or something like that. Octoling E s3 (talk) 23:08, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Catch you in december ChromeWolfOC.png Chrome WolfChromeWolf logo.jpg (🎙, 🗂) 18:58, 25 November 2022 (UTC)

Hey there!
Sup! Kinda off-topic regarding what talk pages should be used for, but it's nice to see another Splatoon music fan! You've also played Splatoon 2 for double the time I have! (Then again, I was late.) Anyway, I just wanted to say hi, and I hope I'll see ya in the Inkfest you're hosting! Catch ya later! :)  ArivakiVA       #3a0ccd talk #3a0ccd 18:45, 25 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Oh and if ya ever want to check my user page, just warning you; it's really long. Mostly my gallery. Regards from Japan,  ArivakiVA    S2_Gear_Headgear_Golden_Toothpick.png JPTGoldDynamoRoller.png S3 Badge Classic Squiffer 5.png #3a0ccd talk #3a0ccd 18:47, 25 November 2022 (UTC)

 * Aw, thanks! It took...a lot of editing, that's for sure! Your user page is super cool too! :D  ArivakiVA    S2_Gear_Headgear_Golden_Toothpick.png JPTGoldDynamoRoller.png S3 Badge Classic Squiffer 5.png #3a0ccd talk #3a0ccd 00:54, 26 November 2022 (UTC)

Inkfest scoring system
After doing a little research, I have come up with a scoring system!

Factor 1, Popularity: It will be a simple count to see which team has more people.

Factor 2, Overall wins: We will count and see who won more battles.

Factor 3, Total Score: This will be a somewhat new mechanic, in which each match, the players will earn a certain amount of points from doing various things (e.g, over 500p inked will get you 1 point). I don’t quite have the points system set up, so I might need some help with that. But, on to the scoring part of this, the total points for each team will be added up and the team who has the most of these “inkpoints” will win this part of the scoring system.

Thank you for coming to my Ted talk. 19:32, 25 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Alright, cool! I was curious about this, so thanks for the info!  ArivakiVA    S2_Gear_Headgear_Golden_Toothpick.png JPTGoldDynamoRoller.png S3 Badge Classic Squiffer 5.png #3a0ccd talk #3a0ccd 19:34, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
 * This is kind of a prototype scoring system, as the official one will be decided on later! 19:35, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
 * You should upload this to a page with an infobox. Also, special req. should be added - like splatana can only use splatanas (same with stringers) or maybe splatanas only get short-ranged weapons - something like that. Xan  S2_Brand_Toni_Kensa.png 19:40, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
 * I like that idea, @Xan! Octoling E s3 (talk) 23:05, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Alright, I can put that down under Inkfest rules. 23:07, 25 November 2022 (UTC)

I made the page for the Inkfest
It’s right here! 22:20, 25 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Thanks, @Jacobearth! Octoling E s3 (talk) 22:48, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
 * You’re welcome! 22:52, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Also, I know you aren’t going to be playing in the battles, but what team are you choosing, so I can put you down for the popularity votes. 22:54, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Team Splatana for the win! Tried to put my name down for that team but it wouldn't let me. You can tell I'm new here lol. Octoling E s3 (talk) 22:56, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Oh it’s fine! I’ll put your name down for team Splatanas. 22:57, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
 * And I know this is off topic, but how do you put those pictures by your username? Octoling E s3 (talk) 22:58, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
 * And, thank you! Octoling E s3 (talk) 22:58, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
 * You’re welcome! Also, do you want me to show you how? 23:01, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Yes please! Octoling E s3 (talk) 23:04, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Alright, follow the directions on this page 23:06, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
 * It’s fine if you don’t know the code, all you have to do is create the page for now. 23:06, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you! You know, people like you and @ChromeWolf have really helped me on here. I really appreciate that! Octoling E s3 (talk) 23:09, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
 * You’re welcome! I’m glad I could help. 23:19, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Oh, I don’t think you created the page yet… 23:24, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Your reply button isn’t working, so I’ll talk to you through this portion. 23:25, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Sorry I made you go though all that. I got error code HTTP 404. 23:21, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
 * It’s been a pleasure ChromeWolfOC.png ℂ𝕙𝕣𝕠𝕞𝕖 𝕎𝕠𝕝𝕗 ChromeWolf logo.jpg (🎙) 21:54, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

Your sig
Did you create the page for your sig like it said on the page? 23:26, 25 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Yeah, But I've encountered this problem before. It finds the server, it just can't contact it. That's the problem. Octoling E s3 (talk) 23:33, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
 * It happens when you try to save an edit on certain pages. Octoling E s3 (talk) 23:34, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Yep, that happens to me too. I don’t know why that happens. 23:35, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks for telling me why that happens though! 23:36, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
 * I could create the page for you if you want. 23:36, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
 * How would you want your signature to look? 23:37, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Yes please. These ae the symbols I'm thinkin' of: 250 turf war wins badge, 5 star Splatana Wiper badge, and the golden Booyah Bomb badge. Octoling E s3 (talk) 23:39, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Alright, I should be able to do that. 23:41, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks! Octoling E s3 (talk) 23:44, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
 * I’m done! 23:50, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Sweet! So I just have to follow the steps you posted, right? Octoling E s3 (talk) 23:54, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Oh wait, nvr mind. Octoling E s3 (talk) 23:55, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Yup! Just follow the steps! 00:36, 26 November 2022 (UTC)
 * How does it look? I'm going to send this message as a test. 00:38, 26 November 2022 (UTC)
 * 00:38, 26 November 2022 (UTC)
 * It looks GREAT! 00:39, 26 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks! Couldn't have done it without 'cha! 00:40, 26 November 2022 (UTC)
 * You’re welcome! 00:59, 26 November 2022 (UTC)

About The Inkfest...
So... I won't be able to participate, we need FIVE people on team Splatana and 4 people on team Stringer to make the amount of participants equal. So... I won't count myself towards the popularity. 01:12, 26 November 2022 (UTC)


 * No, we could have each team with less than four members. 01:27, 26 November 2022 (UTC)
 * If the teams do get the max amount of members, I mean. 01:37, 26 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Ohhh yeah. I thought you meant something else. 01:48, 26 November 2022 (UTC)
 * No problem. 01:50, 27 November 2022 (UTC)
 * You know, we should also add the join code for the Shoal matches for the Inkfest. 02:05, 27 November 2022 (UTC)
 * And I might be able to drop in from time to time during the event. 02:05, 27 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Oh, we won’t be hosting in the shoal, since that is for local play and the people participate are in different continents. We will just be using the lobby private battles. I will add the join code though, thanks for reminding me! 00:30, 29 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Do you have to friend the people to have private battles or...? 00:40, 29 November 2022 (UTC)
 * And no prob! 00:41, 29 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Yeah, you have to friend the people for private battles, but if you don’t want to join, you don’t have to! 02:40, 29 November 2022 (UTC)
 * You should add your friend code on ur userpage/inkfest page. Xan  S2_Brand_Toni_Kensa.png 02:44, 29 November 2022 (UTC)
 * I wish, but I can't. I have VERY strict rules when it comes to that stuff. :( 01:26, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

Inkfest
Hey there! I saw you were participating in the Inkfest so I made some userboxes on my sandbox! Check them out, or make some of your own! Xan  18:59, 30 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Thanks, @Xandpochondria! 01:25, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

Dialogue for inkfest
So, @Ink Me Up! came up with a great idea! They said that the participants could give their own quote on how they feel about their team winning/losing. I personally like the idea a lot, but it is your decision since you are in charge of dialogue. 21:52, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

Error codes
Ok so I have been having this trouble too, so I talked to Heddy about this. Basically, for pages such as yours, there will be problems with editing. This is because / will cause the problem. WikiMedia is aware of this problem, but / is the only way to make pages regarding users, or whatnot. So to edit pages like yours, your just going to have to use source editor for now. Hope this helps for future preferences. Ink safe. ℂ𝕙𝕣𝕠𝕞𝕖 𝕎𝕠𝕝𝕗 (🎙) 21:58, 1 December 2022 (UTC)
