Problem with notifications

Hi, I joined the wiki 6 months ago, but no matter what I do, the "Welcome to Inkipedia, ‪Untitled-1‬! We're glad you're here." notification won't go away! What do I do? --Untitled-1 (talk) 20:09, 28 June 2019 (UTC)

Try clicking the blue dot on the top right corner of the notification. 21:17, 28 June 2019 (UTC)

I had this problem and this worked for me, thanks !　Marinasairpods (talk) 08:26, 1 July 2019 (UTC)

I tried it, and it still won't go away. --Untitled-1 (talk) 02:27, 10 July 2019 (UTC)

News

I found some News that could go on the news feed here. Should we put it on? Splatana ^{talk contribs} 07:20, 30 June 2019 (UTC)

Uh, when I tried to click on the link, it just said "error: page not found." Although that could just be my internet (i'm currently out of town and the internet is always crashing left and right and not loading things properly) SundaeSquidTalk 07:31, 30 June 2019 (UTC)

Pretty sure its your internet, as it works fine for me. Splatana ^{talk contribs} 08:24, 30 June 2019 (UTC)

Oh ok, that's what I thought xD SundaeSquidTalk 08:40, 30 June 2019 (UTC)

The Problem With Signatures

Why do the signatures always have to be either a link to your user page, or a clever nickname for your username? Can't you use your username in actual Splatoon or whatever? SquiddyGirlTalk 21:32, 3 July 2019 (UTC)

The purpose of writing a message on the wiki is to improve the wiki, not to play the game. Heddy (talk) 22:00, 3 July 2019 (UTC)

Mass upload of Maps in Splatoon 2 from Zorg's Mega folder

Zorg has taken captures of maps with the help of some friends and they are stored inside a Mega zip folder. Now inorder for it to be seen by the public, they need to be uploaded to the wiki. They are all same size, standard HD, 1920x1080, and uniform since that's how splatoon's own spectator camera works. My main concern is the sides of the images that are just taking space in the image. You can see an example of it in Arowana Mall where I put the old and the new images side by side. Should we keep the old ones or upload the new ones who have unnecessary sides? I want to hear your opinions about it. =D User:Shachar700/Sig 15:08, 11 July 2019 (UTC)

I'm of course a bit biased, but my own reasoning for my opinion to keeping them as they are is, as Shahar said above, consistency; that being how the in-game spectator camera gives the view, and that all images would be the same dimensions. (And no, resizing the cropped versions back to HD size would mean the quality of it would be worse.) The only discrepancy i can see is that the scale of separate stages aren't uniform. Alternatively, i could argue usage of these as a standard image-set for those who'd want to utilize these for their own, like pro teams for overlaying callout data or strategies for example... even if that would imply they'd know about the existence of these in the first place. --Zorg (talk) 15:33, 11 July 2019 (UTC)
