Abilities would be Spyke of course, Locations, amiibo, and manga can stay the same, and merchandise could be [[File:Sanei Inkling Squid orange cushion.jpg]] I know it may be a lot, sorry, but I think these icons would work as another part of our original Splatoon throw back. I would do all this myself, but the page is protected, so I need a higher up to do it. If you are a higher up reading this, please consider these changes. Thank you!

Thinker224's welcome box proposal

I added the new links you suggested here. I also made some layout changes so all the links would actually fit! Heddy (talk) 02:17, 21 July 2018 (UTC)
Social media accounts
Why do we have the Inkipedia Facebook and YouTube shown prominently on the main page given that neither have posted in years and the YouTube account only seemed to be used to show hero mode play throughs? Freddie (talk) 11:36, 24 August 2023 (UTC)
