== Weapon strategy main page ==
Currently the page linked from the main page is a category and that isn't really professional. I get the Squid400 has a page but it hasn't really gone foward recently. I'm trying on a draft and I'd like to see your thoughts. I'm trying to make it similar to the weapon page but instead is filled with competitive-minded stuff. Here's the page -> [[User:ChessMaster/Draft]] <big><span style="font-family:Splatoon 2">[[User:ChessMaster|<span style="color:blue">ChessMaster</span>]] [[User talk:ChessMaster|<span style="color:purple">[TALK]</span>]]</span></big> 21:16, 27 October 2021 (UTC)

The Ink Pump

Welcome to the Ink Pump. Similar to Wikipedia's village pump, the Ink Pump serves as a general place for the Inkipedia community to discuss the wiki as a whole, whether it be ideas, proposals, technical issues, or notices.

Remember to put new discussion sections at the bottom of the page.
You may also wish to view recent talk page discussions.
Archives available here. Pages archived after 25 messages or 35,000 bytes.
Current page size is 32,355 bytes.

New page idea

So... I´m not sure if this subject merits a new page but here's a suggestion for a new page: You know those boxies that appear sometimes when you follow a link from a news page, or download Octo Expansion? The ones that appear in Inkopolis? The ones Bridgett loves? I looked and I couldn't find any reference to them on the Inkipedia. Do you think we need anything on this? I´m honestly not sure.

--redpanda0310 (talk) 16:31, 26 April 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

IDK. My opinion is pretty mixed. I think it would be helpful but also its kinda self-explanatory. However it you make it right it could work. User:Yaxops/sig2
Yeah, tbh idke.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Redpanda0310 (talkcontribs)
I don't think there is more than a sentence or two to write about that. So it would be better to add info to an existing article instead of making a new article. Heddy (talk) 00:59, 30 April 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Which article though? The Inkopolis one, or the Octo Expansion one? Or am I too late and it's already added? FirewaveAgent 4 official art.png 22:29, 16 May 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I want an area where people can just say their opinions about weapons, subs, and specials Pokidude342 (talk) 20:52, 5 August 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Expandible Table

So I tried inserting an expandible table with the other titles below the title (I don't know what to call them, it's in Weapon), but when I expand the table, there's a white gap above "Clothing" and "Shoes". Is there a way to fix this? dedf1sh07[talk]S2 Gear Headgear Golden Toothpick.png 19:33, 27 April 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Can you copy the code to your sandbox so we can see what issue you are talking about? Heddy (talk) 02:00, 29 April 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I made the page. User:Dedf1sh07/Sandbox I've seen this issue in a lot of user pages and I've been wanting to fix them, but I don't know what the problem is, or how to fix it. dedf1sh07[talk]S2 Gear Headgear Golden Toothpick.png 02:25, 29 April 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Dedf1sh07 The white space on the "List of Pure Gear" line is caused by the colspan you have specified on that line. Change it to colspan="4". Heddy (talk) 00:51, 30 April 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Thank you! This was bugging me so much, so I appreciate the help! dedf1sh07[talk]S2 Gear Headgear Golden Toothpick.png 02:24, 30 April 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]


This page isn't working for me

So I was combing over pages, and I found a few things that I thought were off with the hare vs tortoise page (such as the trivia section being right in the middle of the page). When I tried to edit it, though, the editing page was unresponsive. I continued to wait and try again for about an hour or so (believe it or not), but no dice. May someone please try to edit it and see whether it is unresponsive for them? I'm worried that something may be wrong with the page (or my computer). Thanks! WoomyMcBoomyWoomy.png 21:26, 29 April 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

First of all, the trivia section is in the correct space, between the Top 100 and the Quotes. Seconds of all, it's being unresponsive for me, too. I tried purging the cache, but it still wouldn't work. I think the best solution is to just wait it out for a while. dedf1sh07[talk]S2 Gear Headgear Golden Toothpick.png 21:34, 29 April 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Oops, forgot about the trivia space... sorry! There's still something I wanna fix on that page though, so I'll wait for a bit and try again later. If the page is still unresponsive in 13 hours or so, then I'll contact an administrator about it. Thanks, f1sh! WoomyMcBoomyWoomy.png 21:40, 29 April 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Yeah,the page is still unresponsive. I'm going to contact an admin now. WoomyMcBoomyWoomy.png 12:39, 30 April 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

The page seems to be functioning perfectly fine, I don't see what the issue is. User:Eminence/Sig3 17:41, 30 April 2021 (UTC)
It's when you try to edit the page. When I try to edit the page, it keeps being unresponsive and the page won't load. dedf1sh07[talk]S2 Gear Headgear Golden Toothpick.png 17:47, 30 April 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
When I try to edit it works fine for me. User:Yaxops/sig2

Quick question...=

Yeah so quick question; Are users like me allowed to nominate people for rights? I have a certain person in mind who I think deserves a promotion. WoomyMcBoomyWoomy.png 19:48, 30 April 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Anybody can nominate anyone for a right, even if you nominate yourself. Just make sure you ask them if they're interested first. dedf1sh07[talk]S2 Gear Headgear Golden Toothpick.png 19:55, 30 April 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Are you interested in having rights ;)? WoomyMcBoomyWoomy.png 19:56, 30 April 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I mean, I've made a RfR before, but since nobody voted and I was very inexperienced, I was thinking about making another maybe this summer. I would be very glad to have Patroller rights, though, and I'm fine if you nominate me. dedf1sh07[talk]S2 Gear Headgear Golden Toothpick.png 19:59, 30 April 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

It's settled then! WoomyMcBoomyWoomy.png 20:01, 30 April 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Just wondering, though. If someone makes an RfR, how long does it have to be until it's approved/declined and archived? dedf1sh07[talk]S2 Gear Headgear Golden Toothpick.png 20:03, 30 April 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I think I saw somewhere says like 2 months ChessMaster [TALK] 20:04, 30 April 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

No, It's usually 4 weeks, but it can be 2 weeks if there's a general vote. WoomyMcBoomyWoomy.png 20:05, 30 April 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

well I was way off that :P ChessMaster [TALK] 21:42, 30 April 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Quick question: How do I add photos the my user page? Splatto (talk)

Creating a blog post

So I'm new to this wiki and was thinking about creating a blog for a inkfest. How do I make one? OctoRed (talk) 14:05, 2 May 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@OctoRed All you have to do is create this page: User:OctoRed/(INKFEST TITLE HERE) and then put your Inkfest into INK:FEST using the format. If putting the Inkfest into the Inkipedia page is to difficult, I could do it for you. dedf1sh07[talk]S2 Gear Headgear Golden Toothpick.png 16:56, 2 May 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Salmon Run for Strategy?

I feel like we should put a Salmon Run section between Countermeasures and Gear Abilities into Strategy pages because there is no information about Salmon Run on any Strategy page. Since Salmon Run has a variety of weapons, sometimes consisting of very advanced weapons, I want newcomers to have some advice in case this happens. Please tell me your opinions. dedf1sh07[talk]S2 Gear Headgear Golden Toothpick.png 18:42, 3 May 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Honestly I feel like that's a good idea. I think it is worth mentioning ChessMaster [TALK] 18:49, 3 May 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I agree. I can make a test for it here User:Squid400/Salmon run strat Squid400 (talk) 18:58, 3 May 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I agree with making this page! This could also help more experienced players remember strategies they may have had or learn new ones. it could also help me, too. Dynamolink=https://splatoonwiki.org/wiki/User talk:Dynamo 19:18, 3 May 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I put some info for Salmon Run onto the Splashdown Competitive page. dedf1sh07[talk]S2 Gear Headgear Golden Toothpick.png 19:25, 3 May 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I like that idea! Now, you may not know this about me, but I'm kinda interested in stage layout and design, so maybe we could map out routes and put the images on some salmon run stage pages? WoomyMcBoomyWoomy.png 19:29, 3 May 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Yeah, we need to put in routing into Strategy pages. I'll notify DaDoc and SeeDeeEss about these ideas. dedf1sh07[talk]S2 Gear Headgear Golden Toothpick.png 19:36, 3 May 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I like this idea! I also think we should have Competitive pages for Stages & Modes. Like; strategies for Tower Control on Moray Towers, and what are the best routes to push the Rainmaker on each Stage. I'm also on board with Salmon Run strat pages. They could be for Boss Salmonids, Known Occurrences, Tide Levels and Weapon roles. Just giving out my opinions and ideas! P.J. GT (talk) 22:16, 3 May 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Good idea! FirewaveAgent 4 official art.png 02:25, 5 May 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I forgot to mention about Stage Call-Out names could be added to that Stage’s Competitive page. P.J. GT (talk) 13:14, 10 May 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I also think that we should make something like "Mode Strategy" or "Stage Strategy". It would be best if we could combine the two. Maybe put the Mode Strategy into Stage Strategy pages? Please give me your opinions. dedf1sh07[talk]S2 Gear Headgear Golden Toothpick.png 19:46, 19 May 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Change?

Did editing change for anybody? The way I can edit changed. Now there's edit and edit source. Im confused ChessMaster [TALK] 00:18, 4 May 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

VisualEditor and DiscussionTools were added to the wiki. This should make it easier to use talk pages. Notice the [ reply ] button! Heddy (talk) 00:45, 4 May 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I like it! It makes editing pages a lot easier now! dedf1sh07[talk]S2 Gear Headgear Golden Toothpick.png 00:47, 4 May 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Eh. Not what I'm used to. But I'll get over it. WoomyMcBoomyWoomy.png 10:53, 4 May 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Yeah, disregard that last comment, I really don't like this new editing. WoomyMcBoomyWoomy.png 11:05, 4 May 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Yeah, I’m a little confused too. What exactly is visual editing? AwildmuskS3 Weapon Main .52 Gal.png(Hablo español?) 15:31, 4 May 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I believe visual editing is when you click "Edit" instead of "Edit Source". I'm not sure, though. dedf1sh07[talk]S2 Gear Headgear Golden Toothpick.png 15:33, 4 May 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Ya, whats the difference between edit and edit source? Squid400 (talk) 15:36, 4 May 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I'm pretty sure it's like pressing the edit tab on the top of a page. WoomyMcBoomyWoomy.png 16:37, 4 May 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
"Edit Source" is basically the same thing as "Edit" before the update, while "Edit" is, well, it's hard to explain but it's like a newer style of editing if you prefer it. dedf1sh07[talk]S2 Gear Headgear Golden Toothpick.png 16:42, 4 May 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
If you don't like the new way of editing, you can always click on edit source. It allows you to edit the old fashioned way :) ChessMaster [TALK] 16:49, 4 May 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
In short, "edit source" is the same thing as it always was, as I'm sure you've noticed, while the new standard "edit", the visual editor, allows you to edit a page while immediately being able to see what it would look like on the page without wikicode. I personally still like the classic style, but visual editor is very nice to have too. GloverMist (talk) 17:59, 4 May 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
It sorta makes me uncomfortable FirewaveAgent 4 official art.png 22:25, 16 May 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Firewave The "edit source" link makes you uncomfortable? You can turn it off at Preferences > Editing > uncheck "Enable the visual editor". This will completely disable Visual Editor, including the "edit source" links. Heddy (talk) 22:31, 16 May 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Ok, thank you! FirewaveAgent 4 official art.png 22:33, 16 May 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Thank you it worked and I feel a lot better! :D FirewaveAgent 4 official art.png 22:35, 16 May 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Info

Just to let you guys know, this is my second account for my phone. I will link to it as soon as I get my computer. DynamoTheSecond (talk) 18:43, 4 May 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

What is this second account going to be used for? Unless you have a very good reason for making a second account, it will most likely be banned. Thanks! User:Eminence/Sig3 19:39, 4 May 2021 (UTC)

I forgot my password of my main account, and this one is for my phone so I can still edit. DynamoTheSecond (talk) 19:58, 4 May 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

You should NOT use one account for a computer and a separate one for your phone. You should choose one account and use it everywhere. I left a message on your talk page suggesting that you recover your password. Heddy (talk) 22:08, 5 May 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

uploading the file Octo girl (talk) 11:34, 7 May 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Oh yeah! You should scroll up. At the top of the page (any page) you'll see an area of the left side of your screen. Scroll down just a little to see the whole thing. Once you see the [tool] bar look at the section in it. Its the third one from the top! In case you can't find it here is a link. Upload. Make sure you have the image as a file! If you didn't or you don't know how just go to the mebuika and right-click the image. (or use two fingers and hold if your on a mobile device) Once you do that you will see a bar that says save to device. Go ahead and head to the upload page and do choose file! Its self explanatory from there :D (I'm sorry that its so wordy I love typing and I typed this in like 2 minutes) :D good luck! /ꚍꚕ℮Ꮟ℮⍺Ꭶꚍ\/:Tαℓк:\ 12:46, 7 May 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

New Page Idea

So I was thinking and I thought of a new page idea. A page about the Ink Refill Items in Octo Expansion. It could be like the other Mechanics pages but about the Ink Refill. I think it could be useful but I want some opinions about it. I wouldn't want to create a page that is useless. :) ChessMaster [TALK] 02:04, 8 May 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

But won't that page have like a page size of 1,000 bytes or something? I feel like it would be really small, but I guess we could try it. dedf1sh07[talk]S2 Gear Headgear Golden Toothpick.png 02:11, 8 May 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I'm not sure about the page size. I'll try a draft and see how it looks. ChessMaster [TALK] 02:14, 8 May 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Does it have an official name (whatever in-game characters call it, if they ever talk about it)? The ink tank refills are specific to Octo Expansion, so I suggest adding it to the Octo Expansion article. Use the format of the Equipment section of the Octo Canyon article. If you believe you can write enough to create an article dedicated to the ink refill item, then go ahead, but I recommend adding to the Octo Expansion article first. It might also be worth mentioning In the ink tank article, and station articles where the refills are present, if not already mentioned in these articles. Heddy (talk) 04:59, 8 May 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
It's already mentioned in the Ink Tank article, and it's called the "Ink Refill" item, according to that page. Still, I think we should use it as a conjecture. dedf1sh07[talk]S2 Gear Headgear Golden Toothpick.png 05:53, 8 May 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Alright so I'm working on the page. It'll be a draft in my userpage. I just need a picture of an Ink Refill item. If anyone can find one, it would be awesome! ChessMaster [TALK] 14:20, 8 May 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

test page

I think we should have a page for testing templates and talk about ideas for new templates so people who are new to editing and can get good ideas on how to use different templates --Octo girl (talk) 13:58, 10 May 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

This may be a good idea. although i think ideas like this have been rejected before Squid400 (talk) 15:25, 10 May 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
We have clear instructions on how to use templates in their respective places, and if new editors have trouble using them they can ask their questions here in the Ink Pump. I do think that this may be an okay idea, but we have other sources to use for help. Dynamolink=https://splatoonwiki.org/wiki/User talk:Dynamo 20:25, 10 May 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
You should create template test pages in your user space. Like [[User:Octo girl/TemplateName]]. Then, the template can be used on other pages with {{User:Octo girl/TemplateName}}.
People new to template editing can read the template help page, and ask questions here in Ink Pump. Heddy (talk) 22:46, 16 May 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Idea for main page

So I was thinkin' that we should add on Inkipedia:Inkfest widget to the main page but I wanted to know you guys opinions on it. User:Yaxops/sig2

We should probably keep it in community for now.Fancy Squid (talk) 14:41, 12 May 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I agree. The main page is mainly for stuff that is about Splatoon itself, and not the things that us Inkipedia users do in it. Dynamolink=https://splatoonwiki.org/wiki/User talk:Dynamo 20:04, 12 May 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Category:Redirect

As you may or may not know, I have created a category for redirect pages. Before I continue to put in pages into that category, I want to make sure you guys approve of it. Please tell me if I should delete it or not. Also, if it gets approved, if you want, you could help me put in all redirects into that page. Here is the code: [[Category:Redirect]] Thanks! dedf1sh07[talk]S2 Gear Headgear Golden Toothpick.png 02:21, 15 May 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Project I wanna tackle...

I was looking at Template:Foreignname and I noticed that there were a LOT of languages that haven't been used and I want to go with NOE Portuguese because my friend can speak NOE Portuguese and he wanted to help with tackling this project. We are doing it by phases and the 1st phase is S2 weapons. I will add this to the Inkipedia:Current projects page of Inkipedia if it goes through. Thanks for the attention. I would love if you could help. User:Yaxops/sig2 12:13, 4 June 2021 (UTC)

About the staff of Splatoon pages...

I noticed that the Infoboxes in the pages for the staff of the Nintendo/Splatoon series has a white gap on it. Since a gobbler won't be necessary in these pages, should I just move the real and/or construction tags? Just want to make sure so 40 edits don't get reverted consecutively. dedf1sh07[talk] 00:25, 5 June 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I was typing in my password for my account User:Yaxops. It said it was correct on chrome but it wouldn't log me in. Is there anything I did wrong? SirYaxops (talk) 13:29, 7 June 2021 (UTC) Nvm I got it! ^_^ User:Yaxops/sig2 14:13, 7 June 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Appearance section for weapons

Obviously, each weapon has a unique appearance that helps players tell them apart from one another. As some of you may know, I'm very big on accurate appearance descriptions, as a good chunk of my edits come from editing the appearance section on gear articles. I think we should make appearance sections for all kinds of weapons, as the only appearance info we have listed on weapon pages is in the trivia section, and some don't have any description for appearance (or even a trivia section) at all. Before I go ahead with the idea, I would like to have some consent from others (along with a helping hand or two). So, what do y'all think? WoomyMcBoomyWoomy.png 17:15, 18 July 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I think it's a good idea and I'm pretty sure that in some weapons, it is describing the appearance of it. The appearance section could be the first section of the weapon page (Such as above Splatoon info). ChessMaster [TALK] 17:27, 18 July 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I'm not so sure if the appearance should come first, since it's not the main point (as in the part most users look at first) of the article. I think a good place for it to go would be right under the data subsection. I'll make an example page on my userspace. Feel free to check it out once I'm done. WoomyMcBoomyWoomy.png 23:08, 19 July 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I don't expect appearance to change much between games. So I think using the same format as gear articles (a single appearance section, at the top of the article) would make the most sense. Heddy (talk) 01:58, 20 July 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
What about weapons with multiple different appearances, like the splattershot? I feel that on some weapon pages, multiple appearance sections will be neccesary, but most should have just one, like you said. WoomyMcBoomyWoomy.png 18:10, 20 July 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
So here's the example page I was talking about. Check it out and tell me what you think. Just click here! WoomyMcBoomyWoomy.png 18:22, 20 July 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Looks good to me. Heddy (talk) 14:20, 23 July 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Anyone can nominate polls!

Shahar made some changes. Anyone can nominate polls now! You can choose polls from the suggestions or think of your own, and submit the nomination at Inkipedia:Poll selection. However, if your poll is selected, you are responsible for archiving the previous poll and adding your poll to the poll widget. The poll is swapped on the first week of the month. Don't submit a nomination if you don't want that poll swapping responsibility. There are poll swapping instructions at Inkipedia:Poll selection. If you cannot follow those instructions, then ask for help!

I have already nominated a poll, and I hope to see others nominating some great questions and answers!

Also, you can still vote at Inkipedia:Poll selection to support or oppose someone's nomination; that has not changed. Heddy (talk) 18:27, 5 August 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Question about patrolling

Now I know this is kind of a weird question, but do you have to use the patrolling tools to patrol pages? I'm asking because I see the PatrolTool as uneccesary and I feel it saps the enjoyment out of going over pages, as it's set up like an online assembly line (or at least in my eyes). Personally, I perfer just going onto the recent changes page, picking an article I find interesting, going over it to make sure nothing's wrong, rinse and repeat. I know that someone got demoted for not using their tools, but I just wanted to verify. WoomyMcBoomyWoomy.png 22:48, 7 August 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

PatrolTool is just one tool, recent changes is another tool, as listed at Help:Patrol. Recent changes is always going to be the primary way to patrol, PatrolTool is mostly useful for dealing with the backlog. When using recent changes, make sure to hit the [mark as reviewed] button for the change after viewing the page, which lets others know that the page has been reviewed by removing the red exclamation mark. Whenever someone is demoted for inactivity, they are always welcome to rejoin just by asking when they are active again. Heddy (talk) 23:09, 7 August 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Need some help

As some of you may know, I've started work on making appearance sections for weapon articles. There are a LOT of weapons to cover, and it's bound to take up a lot of time. So I wanted to know if anyone was willing to help me out (P.S. You'll need some knowledge of gun anatomy to correctly describe and label parts of the weapon, as well as anatomy of other items weapons may be based off of).

Just a suggestion - you can add your weapon appearance project to Inkipedia:Current projects if you want. Heddy (talk) 23:32, 15 August 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Everything you could ever need to know about signatures should be found here! You can place an image link in your custom signature as you would on any normal page. GloverMist (talk) 20:42, 7 October 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Marking a page for deletion

So I already discussed this on the talk page for the New Squidbeak Splatoon, but after some discussion I moved over all of the info to the Squidbeak Splatoon page. Because of this, I wanted to know if I could (or should) mark the New Squidbeak Splatoon page for deletion (click here to see the discussion).

How do I create a signature?

I finished everything on my user page, and I have a talk page, but I was just wondering how to create a signature. I tried reading the page on how to make one, but I didn't understand it because this is my first wiki and also because im stupid. could anyone help me out? thanks, SplatZ (talk) 20:25, 8 October 2021 (UTC)SplatZReply[reply]

@SplatZ first you create the page User:SplatZ/sig. then you put this code into the page <span style="font-family:FONT STYLE HERE (optional)">[[User:SplatZ|<span style="color:COLOR HERE (optional)">YOUR USERNAME HERE (or any other nickname)</span>]][[File:IMAGE NAME HERE (optional)|PIXEL SIZE HERE (max:30px)|link=LINK THAT THE IMAGE LEADS TO (optional)]]</span> when you are done go to preferences and go to signetures, and type in the following command {{nosubst|User:SplatZ/sig}}, make sure you click "Treat signature as wikitext" and save.

Other Languages

Are there any plans for other versions of Inkipedia besides English and French in the near future? Perfectionist (talk) 21:34, 15 October 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Weapon strategy main page

Currently the page linked from the main page is a category and that isn't really professional. I get the Squid400 has a page but it hasn't really gone foward recently. I'm trying on a draft and I'd like to see your thoughts. I'm trying to make it similar to the weapon page but instead is filled with competitive-minded stuff. Here's the page -> User:ChessMaster/Draft ChessMaster [TALK] 21:16, 27 October 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
