Title casing
Decision needs adding to the Manual of Style. Are we using title case for all articles or sentence case? I think the overwhelming unwritten rule at the moment is title case. I assume this should also include articles that include parentheses such as Recon (Mode) rather than Recon (mode). 13:01, 18 August 2015 (UTC)

Image Resource
Hey guys, I don't know which, if any, of these images would be useful to you but this seems like a pretty good resource: GoNintendo's Splatoon Flickr Album. Embyr 75 (talk) 17:37, 23 August 2015 (UTC)


 * There are some really cool images in there, but I think most of them are already in use. They're all big and high quality though, maybe there's some that can replace any small or low-quality versions we got here. --Bzeep!  talk  17:57, 23 August 2015 (UTC)

Inkpedia Contest
We have the barnsquids and we probably could do one, so should we make one? Chriscoded (talk)

Standardizing "Name in other languages" sections
Hey I would like to standardize the "Name in other languages" sections a bit.

I think a translated version of the name always should be included, and then include an explanation of the parts of the name or other facts (like puns, references and so on).

For example:

Names in other languages
Exceptions should be if the name is literally the same in both english and the other language (like the N-ZAP, which only has slightly different formatting of the name). In those cases only an explanation should do. Also, if more than one language has the same name, the explanation should be used for the first language and the rest can simply use "Same as (first language).

However, a translation should still be given even if the translation turns out be the same as the english name in that language.

For example:
