:It's no longer possible to show Splatoon 1 stage rotations, since there's no longer a source of real-time rotation data (as Nintendo shut down the original SplatNet service for Splatoon 1 on September 30, 2017). --[[User:Kaioora|Kaioora]] ([[User talk:Kaioora|talk]]) 19:34, 27 January 2019 (UTC)
I'll just lay this out very clear; '''WHY DO YOU STILL HAVE THE APRIL FOOLS DAY NEWS ARTICLES HERE!?''' April Fools Day was already over weeks ago, so ''pleeeaaase'' remove them! [[User:Blue Star|Blue Star]] ([[User talk:Blue Star|talk]]) 14:04, 25 April 2024 (UTC)


::What about somebody logging onto Splatoon and writing down the details of the stages? [[User:Eleven23|<span style="color:black">eleven</span><span style="color:blue">2</span><span style="color:orange">3</span>]] ([[User talk:Eleven23|<span style="color:black">talk</span>]]) 23:15, 15 February 2019 (UTC)
:The news section is essentially an archive of recent articles. Removing the April Fools article would remove the record of having done it—poor form for an online encyclopedia that values not just information on the Splatoon series but also the site's own history. When enough additional news updates happen it'll eventually remove older news articles from the front page. [[User:Lyichir|Lyichir]] ([[User talk:Lyichir|talk]]) 14:40, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
::Fine. [[User:Blue Star|Blue Star]] ([[User talk:Blue Star|talk]]) 15:33, 25 April 2024 (UTC)


:::There is a bot on twitter that uploads Splatoon 1 maps in real time (see @Splatoon1Maps) but I have no idea how it works, and I don't know if it's able to show future rotations. Nonetheless, if someone here wants to contact the owner of the bot and see if we can get something working on the wiki, that may be helpful?

== logo ==


== Real-life references in Octo Expansion levels ==
how come the Inkipedia logo was changed to normal but not the background? [[User:Littlemiscay|Littlemiscay]] ([[User talk:Littlemiscay|talk]]) 20:52, 25 April 2024 (UTC)


You might already have noticed, but the stations in the Octo Expansion have references to real-life toys and other stuff. My idea was to put these references in the trivia section of each station's page, but I don't recognize most by name. I've found a Splatoon fan that named all these references, but unfortunately, they are in Japanese, and I can't understand it. So my question is, can someone read Japanese and give the English name of these references, or does someone recognize them by name? I leave the link to this fan's twitter post below.<br>https://twitter.com/onomatopoeia_gj/status/1009283213083095040 [[User:Islar74|Islar74]] ([[User talk:Islar74|talk]]) 12:41, 7 February 2019 (UTC)
:i mean it is cute but easter already past [[User:Littlemiscay|Littlemiscay]] ([[User talk:Littlemiscay|talk]]) 20:08, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
 
'''Answer:''' I think you should be able to use Google Translate to either translate the page, or copy-and-paste them to the website. -OctoMan_26 13:45, 17 August 2019 (UTC)
 
==French Inkipedia needs more articles==
 
French Inkipedia has 93 articles, I feel like adding some more, but I don't know French. Is there an English/French person that can help edit the website? [[User:Eleven23|<span style="color:black">eleven</span><span style="color:blue">2</span><span style="color:orange">3</span>]] ([[User talk:Eleven23|<span style="color:black">talk</span>]]) 23:10, 15 February 2019 (UTC)
:It's up to French speakers to add content to Inkipédia if they desire. This is none of our concern, as we are not French speakers. [[User:Heddy|Heddy]] ([[User talk:Heddy|talk]]) 15:30, 16 February 2019 (UTC)
 
== Notice board problem ==
[[File:Notice problem.gif]]
<br> It doesn't redirect to the page that marks it as read. I don't have this problem anymore, which is weird. [[File:Inkling project paintball font eleven23.png|100px|link=User:Eleven23]] [[File:Inkling project paintball font eleven23 talk.png|70px|link=User talk:Eleven23]] 06:28, 20 February 2019 (UTC)
:I had that for a while when I first joined too, it just fixed itself. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ [[User:Splattersky|Splattersky]] ([[User talk:Splattersky|talk]]) 08:21, 20 February 2019 (UTC)
 
== Something new that we could test ==
We could create a page that is sort of like Ink Pump, but for suggestions, and maybe some unknown trivia. Here are some examples: [[User:Eleven23/Experiments/Suggest|Suggestion]] & [[User:Eleven23/Experiments/Trivia|Trivia]]. [[File:Inkling project paintball font eleven23.png|100px|link=User:Eleven23]] [[File:Inkling project paintball font eleven23 talk.png|70px|link=User talk:Eleven23]] 06:14, 20 February 2019 (UTC)
 
Sounds like a really good idea! I'll work on it with you if that's ok.[[User:Zombietoon|Zombietoon]] ([[User talk:Zombietoon|talk]]) 12:46, 19 January 2020 (UTC)
 
== Do we not mention notable people/players on the wiki? ==
 
So while I was out on the internet, I saw this one video about the world's angriest ''Splatoon 2'' Player that goes by the name of, "Putz12" and I'm curious if we cover notable people/players on this wiki. I'm not planning on writing a page about the guy, I'm just curious. [[User:AsrielTheInkling|AsrielTheInkling]] ([[User talk:AsrielTheInkling|talk]]) 07:19, 23 February 2019 (UTC)
 
: Bit defunct, but see the [[Inkipedia:Policy/Notability|Notability Policy]]. {{User:KA467/Sig}} 11:25, 23 February 2019 (UTC)
 
I don't believe he's on any team. I've only watched one video about him. Putz12 is a Live Streamer on Twitch.tv and I don't know about him playing the First ''Splatoon''. I have read the page and I understand. Thanks! [[User:AsrielTheInkling|AsrielTheInkling]] ([[User talk:AsrielTheInkling|talk]]) 15:19, 23 February 2019 (UTC)
 
== Weapons ranking ==
 
I think it's really good to get multiple opinions when figuring out your weapons, so [https://www.gamersdecide.com/articles/splatoon-2-weapons-list-splatoon-2-weapons-ranked here's] a ranking of them for those who are new to the game (or maybe are just searching for a new weapon). Really informative, worth the read.

== Murch & Sean ability tips ==
I have a few ideas about what to do with the tips (when they come out):
* We could put each tip in a quote section
* We could put it in the trivia
* We could put it in the description, with some words omitted
:* If one of the sentences was 'I like cake and chocolate cake' we could omit 'cake and'.

==April Fools...?==
If I leave the page alone for too long, a GIF plays in the background for a few seconds. Is this an April Fool's prank, or is someone messing around? [[User:A Random Pencil|A Random Pencil]] ([[User talk:A Random Pencil|talk]]) 17:53, 1 April 2019 (UTC)

== Spoiler alert on main page ==
 
I have a recollection that I asked this somewhere before, but since we are no longer adding spoiler alerts on every page, I think it would be decent to have a general disclaimer on the main page, so that users are warned. I know we have the spoiler policy bit, but that's pretty hard to get to, so I think a reminder on the main page would be helpful. [[User:Splattersky|Splattersky]] ([[User talk:Splattersky|talk]]) 23:45, 8 April 2019 (UTC)
 
==Incorrect Splatfest Info==
The main page says that the Splatfest is over, but the game says that it will be going on for another day. Can somebody please fix this? {{User:Warriorking98/Sig}}
:It doesn't say it's over on the main page for me, it just says "Now - (end time)". Maybe it's a glitch on your end? [[User:Splattersky|Splattersky]] ([[User talk:Splattersky|talk]]) 03:38, 21 April 2019 (UTC)
:It doesn't have a way to set it for 48 hours and I'm not sure how to fix that. It should currently appear correctly, but only because we are within 24 hours of the end time. [[User:Heddy|Heddy]] ([[User talk:Heddy|talk]]) 10:02, 21 April 2019 (UTC)
 
== Editing the main page ==
 
Just to be clear, anyone is welcome to make reasonable updates and additions to the [[Main Page/Featured|news]] and [[Main Page/Splatfest|Splatfest]] modules that show up on the main page. The locks in place before were only in place due to a spike in vandalism a long time ago, and those locks have been removed. [[User:Heddy|Heddy]] ([[User talk:Heddy|talk]]) 22:41, 13 May 2019 (UTC)
 
== NO MORE SPOILERS!!! ==

== Small change ==
 
Shouldn't the "SplatNet 2" icon on the main page use the actual SplatNet 2 icon for [[Annie]] instead of the icon from the Gamepad? [[User:ShinyCelesteela|ShinyCelesteela]] ([[User talk:ShinyCelesteela|talk]]) 10:05, 11 July 2019 (UTC)

== I want to translate the content of this wiki into Spanish! ==
 
Hi! I'm Mikolapizero and I'm a native spanish speaker. I saw that Inkipedia has her own site in French, and I'm wondering If I can do the same, but in spanish. I'm not a master at english, but I can translate a lot of text from english to my language. How I do that? I can? Thanks! - [[User:Mikolapizero|Mikolapizero]] ([[User talk:Mikolapizero|talk]]) 20:17, 23 July 2019 (UTC)
:There must be significant interest in a Spanish language wiki before one could be set up. I suggest making the translated pages in your userspace first, and then maybe a Spanish wiki can be set up if there's interest. To create a userspace page, you would create a page like "User:Mikolapizero/Page title" for each page you are translating. [[User:Heddy|Heddy]] ([[User talk:Heddy|talk]]) 21:36, 23 July 2019 (UTC)
 
== Should we remove the Splatfest section? ==
 
Since there's no more Splatfests happening in Splatoon 2, there's no reason to have the Splatfest section there anymore.
:I think we should.

The news section is essentially an archive of recent articles.
