Inkipedia:About

Inkipedia is a wiki, scoped to and about the Splatoon series.

History
On 2014-06-10, the Splatoon Wiki was created on Wikia by Lumoshi. In April 2015, members of Pikipedia approached the administrators of the Splatoon Wiki and proposed a move to NIWA, the Nintendo Independent Wiki Alliance. With some weeks of discussion and feedback from the fandom, it was eventually decided that the wiki would become independent. The move began on 2015-05-18, along with a name change to Inkipedia (as thought up by ShrimpPin), although due to Wikia policies, the original site remains active.

On 2015-07-04, Inkipedia was officially added as a member of the NIWA.

On 2016-06-08, a French version of Inkipedia was launched.

On 2022-04-08, a Spanish version of Inkipedia was launched.

On 2022-09-08, Inkipedia received a significant redesign after a logo contest and coinciding with the release of Splatoon 3. GuyPerfect changed the default skin to Timeless and customized it to make Inkipedia attractive, accessible, and responsive on all screen sizes. The 2015 logo design, which had served Inkipedia well for over 7 years, was replaced with a new logo by ninckvinny.

April Fools' Day pranks

 * In 2017, Slate changed the CSS style of the wiki to "Krillzone", a reference to the Killzone video game series.
 * In 2019, Heddy added news on the main page about exclusive gear becoming global and added a background performance by Judd. GuyPerfect perfected the news joke.
 * In 2020, Fumple added news on the main page about an Inkipedia shirt in.
 * In 2021, dancing Judd made his long-awaited return thanks to Heddy, now joined by Li'l Judd thanks to Shahar. Meanwhile, SuperHamster and Alex95 created a NIWA-wide "edit-by-pigeon" service, with Inkipedia flavor text by GloverMist.
 * In 2022, Shahar, Heddy, and GloverMist created the little buddy scavenger hunt, with the reward of limited-access to Testfire.
 * In 2023, A22PG created a new logo with subtle enhancements, and Slate made a few fixes to the Main Page. Sadly, these contributions were reverted the next day due to starting multiple edit wars and Inkipedians to this day have still not come to an agreement. View Inkipedia on 2023-04-01: archive.org
