Unofficial
Someone add http://pre00.deviantart.net/cd21/th/pre/i/2015/055/4/4/splatoon_characters_by_rubtox-d8jdycc.jpg to the characters page at the top, and credit the artist's deviantart (rubtox). SMASHlogan (talk) 10:01, 25 July 2015 (UTC)
- Despite it being amazing art, it is unofficial, and therefore, we can't add it.

Squid Squad
Should we elaborate on the Squid Squad members a little? Most people won't know what a Vo. is and there's no hyperlink so I was thinking to just put "Squid Squad: Vocals, Guitar, Bass, Synth. " Hero231 (talk) 02:46, 13 August 2015 (UTC)
- I'm thinking you can just label them as their position on the band, like "Vocalist: Vo." and link them to their sections in the band page. -

Ink Theory Trumpeter species
I'm pretty sure that the trumpeter for Ink Theory is supposed to be a Cuttlefish because she only has four "hair tentacles" (meaning she has eight arms in all) and she has multiple colors on each said strand (Which could reference the fact that Cuttlefish use different colors to camouflage). --User talk:GoombaBroadcast 18:42, 20 March 2018 (UTC)
Missing Antagonist
Telephone should be included under Antagonists. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JaredTamana (talk • contribs)
minor: missing period
I know this is very minor, but in the Notable species section, at the end of the Great Zapfish sentence, there's a missing period. The page is protected, so I can't correct it.
(Also, since Agent 8 is listed in the Playable characters section, perhaps Telephone could be added to Antagonists like JaredTamana suggested above? Unless there's a reason it's not there)

- I'll add Telephone to the antagonists. I don't see any reason as to why he shouldn't be added.--YOLO2020

- Nice, thank you both! I have a suggestion for rewording the Tatar paragraph:
- The Telephone, aka Commander Tartar, is the main antagonist of the DLC [[Octo Expansion]]. He created the [[Sanitized Octarian]]s by sterilizing them with a kind of primordial ooze.
- (I haven't thought of sentences to add, but this is how I'd phrase what is currently there)

Character Icons in S2 relationship chart
I have noticed that only Agent 3 has a picture of what their icon looks like in the Splatoon 2 relationship chart. I was wondering if all the other characters should have them? YOLO2020 00:48, 20 August 2021 (UTC)
- It's not ours, we can't change it. dedf1sh07[talk] 01:00, 20 August 2021 (UTC)
- Oh, Ok. That's why I asked so I wouldn't do anything wrong. Thanks! YOLO2020
01:03, 20 August 2021 (UTC)
- Oh, Ok. That's why I asked so I wouldn't do anything wrong. Thanks! YOLO2020
- @ YOLO2020 What do you mean? Are you talking about taking icons from the chart and adding them to galleries? Heddy (talk) 01:10, 20 August 2021 (UTC)
- Yeah. YOLO2020
13:30, 20 August 2021 (UTC)
- Plenty of characters have those on their pages, like Iso Padre and DJ Octavio for example. You can add them to the galleries if you want. Heddy (talk) 13:53, 20 August 2021 (UTC)
- The way you worded your question made it sound like you wanted to edit the chart itself, which is why dedf1sh said "It's not ours, we can't change it." Heddy (talk) 14:08, 20 August 2021 (UTC)
- Yeah. YOLO2020
Shiver's Pronouns
This is quite minor, but I've noticed this page uses "her" in regards to Shiver which contradicts the current usage of they/them on Shiver's page. I can't edit the page myself as it is protected. Chicken (talk) 02:15, 13 August 2022 (UTC)
- Just changed it OrderSquid38 (talk) 02:20, 13 August 2022 (UTC)
Mr. Grizz and DJ Octavio
Shouldn't Mr. Grizz and DJ Octavio be under Antagonists? Aqua68080 (talk) 20:06, 17 October 2022 (UTC)
- I think they fit better under Important Characters. Mr. Grizz isn't a direct antagonist in Splatoon 2, and DJ Octavio arguably switches from an enemy to an ally at the end of Splatoon 3. Lyichir (talk) 23:38, 17 October 2022 (UTC)
- Yes. I agree with what he said. the octoling girl 18:35, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
- Actually, DJ Octavio and Mr. Grizz are under important characters as well as antagonists. Perfectionist (talk) 21:43, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
- Yes. I agree with what he said. the octoling girl 18:35, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
yes
I love the new design for the character page. The agents in a table, with pictures for each one? Beautiful. Really nice job with this one. the octoling girl 18:34, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
Fred Crumbs, Shelly, and Donny need to be added to the characters list.
I guess it could be added in Spring once the Splatoon 3 update comes out. But can someone update the list? Mosthated (talk) 01:48, 10 February 2023 (UTC)
Mention of multiple Great Zapfish
@Gulliblepikmin To prevent an edit war, I'm starting a discussion of this topic here. Was there dialogue in S3/ROTM that suggests there's more than one Great Zapfish? Between S2 and S3 its appearance is different, but it is consistently referred to as "the Great Zapfish" rather than "a Great Zapfish" or "our [city's] Great Zapfish". Piranha Pit's S1 and S2 appearance of the Zapfish easter egg suggests the same one found in both Inkopolis' Plaza and Square can safely move around. Maybe this will get confirmed with the DLC's release, but I'm not sure we presently have enough confirmation that they aren't the same one. Its appearance in the trailer is different, but S3's Direct trailers often contain elements that are changed in the final release. Up until now, the Great Zapfish being a single fish has been central to the plots of each main story mode (the main conflict in each games' story mode centers on the the Great Zapfish getting stolen as a power source; if there's more than one, why is it being stolen such a big deal? Why steal one if there's multiple? etc)
If there is more than one, then its page needs to reflect that fact much more urgently than this one does. Yoshifan52 (talk) 09:29, 14 February 2023 (UTC)
Sure, I'll give my side to the argument. Shiver in the "Great Zapfish missing" news broadcast describes it as "power[ing] the whole city!" and Cap'n Cuttlefish in the opening cutscene in the crater says "The Great Zapfish that powers Splatsville". Nowhere does the game specify that they're the same. Also in that broadcast, the Great Zapfish's image on the screen shows it with brown whiskers instead of yellow, but no hair on top of it. That same image is re-used in the "Great Zapfish returns" broadcast in better detail, allowing you to se that there's no hair. More recent promo images about Fred Crumbs show the Great Zapfish in its Splatoon 1/2 appearance as well. In fact, the devs would have to do more work to keep the DLC wave 1 Great Zapfish in line with Splatoon 1 and 2, with no such yellow-whiskered model for the Great Zapfish being used in the base game. Splatoon's devs have also been shown time and time again to love their worldbuilding, so I don't think something as noticeable as the Great Zapfish's appearance would go unnoticed. And finally, the idea of the Great Zapfish powering two entire cities miles and miles apart, AND flying to the other city as soon as you take the train every time is extremely stupid.
Also there aren't 3 Great Zapfishes. Inkopolis Tower when seen in Splatoon 2 lacks the Great Zapfish as it's on the Deca Tower/on the railway line above Grizzco/Flying in the sky above Inkopolis Square.
In the end I think what trips up people the most is that they're always referred to as *THE* Great Zapfish. Piranha Pit's easter egg shows that multiple Great Zapfishes can exist, and that stage is from Splatoon 1!
Anyways, proof over. Thanks for asking me. -Gulliblepikmin 10:23, 14 February 2023 (UTC)
- I'm still not convinced personally, but I think this is good enough reasoning to keep it as is unless others object etc. Your point that a lot of minor details like that typically lead up to bigger things in these games stands out as really good to me. I'm pretty sure the Piranha Pit fish looks identical to the one seen on the inkopolis towers, but this could be altered if/when Piranha Pit is added to S3... And, I still gently urge you to work on updating the Great Zapfish's actual page if you believe this so firmly. Yoshifan52 (talk) 01:41, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
- I'll get cracking then. -Gulliblepikmin 21:43, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
Mispelling in the Great Zapfish/Zapfish's description
It says "stolen my Mr. Grizz" instead of "stolen by Mr. Grizz". NessaTheEnthusiast (talk) 16:24, 21 February 2023 (UTC)
- Fixed. Trig - 16:25, 21 February 2023 (UTC)
Could we possibly put "Contains spoilers" on this page?
Hello everyone. I was just wondering if we could add a "contains spoilers" label to this page, as it includes spoilers about the Splatoon 3 ending with Mr. Grizz, as well as a couple of others that have to do with the Octo Expansion and such. This is not necessarily needed, but it could be helpful if new players wanted to steer clear of any ending spoilers until they are finished.
Thanks!
GakuGamez♪ (talk) 16:40, 11 March 2023 (UTC)
- Splatoon 3 has been available for over 6 months; more than enough time has passed for it to be be considered acceptable to post spoilers for it online. Though, Inkipedia doesn't ever warn for spoiler content, as stated in the related policy page. Yoshifan52 (talk) 22:43, 11 March 2023 (UTC)
- Ah, ok. Thanks for the info. GakuGamez♪ (talk) 10:51, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
Agent 3 Splatoon 3 to New Agent 3
Even though it already puts the game of which this agent 3 is in, the original agent 3 is also in this game, so to save people from confusion, we should change it to New Agent 3 ProPKawesome (talk) 16:19, 24 April 2023 (UTC)

Character infobox - Gender/Pronouns
This is actually a question/recommendation about individual character page infoboxes -- we're currently split with some characters having a "Gender" line, while others have "Pronouns". I'm not actually recommending we change this, rather I'd like to point out everyone with "Gender" doesn't have their pronouns in their infobox. Sure, it can be inferred from their articles, but why not have it in there? It increases the degree of consistency IMO...
I'd propose updating to format to "Gender | Gender (Pronouns)". For example, Callie would have "Gender | Female (She/her)".
It's a bit of a "big" change, so I didn't want to just go do it. Any thoughts from admins? Nondescript (talk) 03:05, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
- Personally, I prefer to not make things complicated and just do gender instead of pronouns. Seems a little weird to me, and I think it's much easier to label the characters with their respective genders. If a character's gender is unknown or unconfirmed, we can just label them as that. That's just my opinion though, and I'm open to other suggestions.
OrderSquid38 [Talk] 03:08, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
- I guess the follow up I'd have is there's several pages now that end up with Gender and Pronouns (check out Chirpy Chips)... If we had a standard for consistently consolidating these sections, I think it would be cleaner + more predictable/less "random". But I also get the point on superfluous info. Nondescript (talk) 13:13, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
- Gender and Pronouns are not the same so I don't see why we would merge that. Pronouns are, as of current date of writing, used on 3 main character pages (and might be removed from the infoboxes depending on conclusion). Right now pronouns are only used if a gender is not stated, basically as a replacement, and we won't have cases of gender and pronouns being both in an infobox. Perfectionist (talk) 20:32, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
- Alright, thanks for the reply. I do appreciate the use of Pronouns when Gender is unknown, it's a nice system. I am most curious to see what happens with the 1 or 2 pages that have ended up with both (usually due to being band pages, with 1 or more unknown gendered members). Seems like you've got it under consideration tho, so I will leave big moves to the big fish in charge. Nondescript (talk) 20:46, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
Manga
Hi sorry for asking, but should we add the manga characters to this page? It's totally fine if not im just wondering! 𝚂𝚑𝚒𝚟𝚎𝚛𝟷𝟶𝟷 (talk)
20:18, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
- A listing can be found already at List of Splatoon manga characters. I am going to add a link to this page under a 'see also' header, though.

Mammal
Sorry to ask, but should we replace Human with mammal since mammals as a whole are more relevant to the story now. 𝚂𝚑𝚒𝚟𝚎𝚛𝟷𝟶𝟷 (talk)
20:46, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
- like i mean instead of a link to humans under species should it be a link to mammal? 𝚂𝚑𝚒𝚟𝚎𝚛𝟷𝟶𝟷 (talk)
20:46, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
- Mammals are mentioned, but in truth we only have 3 recognized mammals in the Splatoon series being cats, bear and human. A link to mammal would only link to the disambiguation page, which would offer the characters Judd, Li'l Judd, Mr. Grizz and Humans. The first 3 have their own character section already. We can however add a link to mammal in the human description. Perfectionist (talk) 21:47, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
- Hey, sorry for late reply, but yes I totally understand your reasoning, and I realize all the characters under the class mammalia, are in the mammal page. Thanks for the reply and sorry for asking! Have a good rest of your day/night 𝚂𝚑𝚒𝚟𝚎𝚛𝟷𝟶𝟷 (talk)

File Type
So in the bosses section so callie and agent 3 both are photos of them in a jpg file but there is no png file for them so should we, similar how we did with main antagonists, make the rest of the bosses have jpg photos of them as well? If we don't have a photo of them in a jpg file we could always get upload one whereas for callie and agent 3 im not quite sure how we could get a png version of them 𝚂𝚑𝚒𝚟𝚎𝚛𝟷𝟶𝟷 (talk)
00:48, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
- I think that Frye, Shiver and Big Man should be changed to images from the boss fight, similar to Callie and Agent 3, since they have the masks, and Big Man also has green ink. I was thinking that maybe we can get screenshots from the intros between dialogue where there isn't text on the screen. I have just looked at videos of the bosses, and I have found parts that I think would work well.
- For the other bosses, I don't mind that some of the images are renders and some are screenshots. The vendors and notable species parts also have inconsistent images. GX_64 (talk) 01:28, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
- alright good idea shall we update it now or wait for second opinions? 𝚂𝚑𝚒𝚟𝚎𝚛𝟷𝟶𝟷 (talk)
22:17, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
- I haven't taken the screenshots yet. I will attempt to get them now. I'm a bit worried that they may look bad, since I don't have a capture card. I don't think we need to wait for second opinions, since it isn't a very major change, and it can be reverted easily. Even if the images don't get used here they could still go on the pages for the missions and the characters' galleries GX_64 (talk) 07:10, 17 May 2024 (UTC)
- I took the screenshots
- The quality is alright (they will probably look fine on the character page, but not zoomed in) GX_64 (talk) 08:03, 17 May 2024 (UTC)

21:29, 17 May 2024 (UTC)
- The images you've uploaded for this are in strange resolutions that aren't possible via either the Switch's built-in capture method nor external capture cards, suggesting you've taken these screenshots from elsewhere and/or edited them to be larger. For example, this image is 2,732 x 1,529px; the proper screenshot resolutions are 1280 x 720px for .jpg (built-in Switch capture output) or 1920 x 1080px for .png (capture card output). Screenshots uploaded to Inkipedia are expected to be in their original unedited resolution in order to maintain image quality and integrity; please fix these uploads.
- Additionally, there's no need to make all the images in a particular section be in the same format; both .png and .jpg format works perfectly fine to display these images. .png format screenshots are higher quality than the .jpg equivalents, so if anything we should be swapping to the former, not the latter, and especially not larger than is normally possible .jpg versions. But even then, that's by no means a necessity here as both image formats work to the same effect. Yoshifan52 (talk) 23:16, 17 May 2024 (UTC)

- Since there are no png files for each boss, images get used instead in such cases. Switching the images is fine, but it would be better if they are like GX's but better quality. Furthermore Marina Agitando has a perfectly fine Icon of the boss form so an image has no reason to replace it. Perfectionist (talk) 22:38, 17 May 2024 (UTC)

jelleton = parrotfish? (i dont think so)
I think this needs a source. Jelletons have not been described as parrotfish by the developers in any of the interviews where they have been asked about. Marching andantes are sea breams and Battering lentos are kobudai wrasse.
I think the theory that jelletons are parrotfish came about early before side order released when people thought the white coral had more significance. but thats all it is, a theory. ASARIDEAD (talk) 16:59, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
- Nice catch, that description seems to be a remnant of pre-release speculation that has since been removed from the Jelleton page. I've removed it for now. Yoshifan52 (talk) 04:48, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
- I have had similar thoughts about
- The inhabitants of the Order Sector resemble zooxanthellae, a type of single-celled organism that enter a coral host to form a mutualistic symbiosis, therefore giving the coral a colorful appearance. Coral bleaching occurs when zooxanthellae are expelled from the host coral due to stress, which may explain the appearance of the Order Sector itself.
- from the Order Sector page, but I haven't been as certain about that one. Olivia (talk) 05:49, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
- also some parrotfish speculation remains on List of enemies and Battering Lento. not sure if they need to be removed Olivia (talk) 10:32, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
