== silly thing regarding the recent edit on the splatoon 3 agent 3 page ==

Hey! I just wanna point out that the slop suit inkling in the concept art IS most likely an agent 3. Due to the fact that all three of them are identical inklings and octolings to the three promotional characters shown in the game's app icon (which includes the base Neo Agent 3 as part of them), and also the leitmotif most of the time being the number "3", aka most things having the count of 3 (3 idols, the NSS being consistent of 3 'bosses', etc) would make sense to include the third one. 

Alongside the fact that all three of them also appear constantly together, I feel like this stuck in concept art too, wanted to see what you'd think about this

i cant attach images so i have to link them individually

[https://cdn.wikimg.net/en/splatoonwiki/images/d/d5/Splatoon_3_artbook_promo_0.jpg the concept promo art]

[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FxfBmDgWAAAID-o.jpg:large another instance of the three appearing together]

I personally feel like the three are supposed to all be based on the new agent 3/the player, just showcasing different gamemodes and playstyles (the yellow one being turf/anarchy, the octoling being hero mode and the light blue one being salmon run)

:The Bedhead-style Inkling is prominently featured in Splatoon 3 material, yes. But unless you can proffer an official instance of them actually being depicted as Agent 3 (For instance, as the promotional Octoling is on the cover of ''The Art of Splatoon 3''), please do not make edits based on your personal feelings. I've already discussed this topic with other editors in the Discord and they agree that it's unrealistic to assume this promotional player design is also a version of Agent 3.

::Thank you for the response, and I understand what you're saying. I'm sorry about all the trouble!  [[User:Snoweh|Snoweh]] ([[User talk:Snoweh|talk]]) 00:05, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
:::I'm very passionate about this and I've gathered genuine evidence confirming that both the Octoling and the Bedhead Inkling being Neo Agent 3s also. I was wondering if we could talk over a social media app preferably discord) for easier discussion? 
:::Alternatively I could post my evidence and everything along with it here instead.  [[User:Snoweh|Snoweh]] ([[User talk:Snoweh|talk]]) 06:00, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

== Capitalization ==

Hello, in the [[Version 6.1.0 (Splatoon 3)|6.1.0]] article, I noticed that you had made capitalization changes with the intent to match Nintendo's notes. However, please be advised that per [[INK:MOS]], capitalization is only used for proper nouns, for the first letter in a sentence, and for exact quotes.

If someone wanted to see the exact original notes, they would go to the Nintendo website. As an encyclopedia, we are not here to host an exact copy of the official notes; we are here to use the official notes as a source to build the best possible article about the subject. We use Nintendo's update notes as a starting point, and editors can make changes on top of that, such as: adding more notes and corrections from non-Nintendo sources, changing wording for clarity, re-organizing notes, and applying our own guidelines (like INK:MOS capitalization guidelines). When you added the incorrect capitalization you were reverting the admin GloverMist's edit as they had just corrected the capitalization.

Please be aware of the INK:MOS capitalization guideline going forward, and please let me know if you have any questions. [[User:Heddy|Heddy]] ([[User talk:Heddy|talk]]) 01:09, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

:Understood. I was aware of the MoS guidelines and I do my best to follow them, but I was under the impression that when it came to documentation on the version pages themselves that we should aim to reproduce the text exactly as written by Nintendo, and that any further elaboration could be made through notes or on other pages detailing individual elements of a version's changes.
:I just want to say for the sake of full transparency that I did understand that I was reverting part of GloverMist's edit and that I did leave them a message explaining my reasoning (and making clear that I otherwise approved of the edit) in the Discord, but I also now understand my reasoning was amiss. In future I will endeavor to seek the opinion of other editors on formatting issues such as these if I am unsure.

== Splatfest Tees ==

Hey! I wanted to thank you for uploading the Splatfest Tee images (especially with high quality); but I also wanted to remind you that there are categories for the Splatfest tees which need to be added as well. There's been [https://splatoonwiki.org/w/index.php?title=File:S3_Splatfest_Tee_Friday_Back.png&diff=519112&oldid=517945 ple][https://splatoonwiki.org/w/index.php?title=File:S3_Splatfest_Tee_Fist_Bump_Back.png&diff=491457&oldid=491402 nty] [https://splatoonwiki.org/w/index.php?title=File:S3_Splatfest_Tee_Friends_Back.png&diff=515260&oldid=505448 of times] where you uploaded an image of a Splatfest tee, but didn't add the respective category, I know there's several others who do this, but i've noticed that you've done it a lot so I wondered if you didn't know that the categories existed. ^^ {{User:Random/Sig}} 16:12, 12 February 2024 (UTC)

:Thank you for reminding me! What I should really probably be doing though is changing the file type to 'splatfestteamtee' (rather than 'screenshot' or 'clothingcloseup'), because that would add it automatically. I tend to forget some of the more obscure file types like that. [[User:Driftin Soul|Driftin Soul]] ([[User talk:Driftin Soul|talk]]) 17:07, 12 February 2024 (UTC)

== autopatrolled? ==

Hiya can you tell me im eligible for autopatrolled rights its okay if im not im just wondering [[User:Rūba|Rūba]] ([[User talk:Rūba|talk]]) 08:51, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

:Hi, going to quote from [[Inkipedia:Autopatrol]]:
::Typically, users with consistently good edits over a few months will be given autopatrol at the discretion of an administrator. Editors are promoted based on both their editing experience and volume of edits on a need-be basis, and depending on the current patrolling workload for staff.</code>
:Basically, autopatrolled users are editors who have shown over a fairly considerable amount of time both the quality and quantity of their edits as well as their own trustworthiness, and it's a right that administrators will choose to afford users based on a variety of factors, but essentially at their own discretion. I would also say that seeking autopatrol rights in and of itself should not really inherently be a goal with editing, as it doesn't really mean much for the autopatrolled user themselves beyond effectively being a badge of trust (it makes backend administrative tasks mildly easier for staff, but that doesn't really directly matter to anyone below patroller).
:The strongest recommendation I would give is simply to focus on one's editing; regardless of rights, an editor who consistently puts their best foot forward and seeks to learn from their mistakes is a good editor! {{User:Driftin Soul/Sig}} 14:03, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
::Thank you so much i promise that if i do any mistakes again i will instantly revert them, and i will try my best to edit the one's i think would need improving and if i do work on testing stuff i will make a second sandbox or test in my sandbox before publishing it on a page {{User:Rūba/Sig}} 15:19, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

== The pic for Lemuria Hub ==

Hii I'm new here, but I visit Inkipedia many times before I created my account 

And i was trying to add a picture in the page of Lemuria Hub's page, so I'm asking if it'll be okay! :>

[[User:Woomy ika|Woomy ika]] ([[User talk:Woomy ika|talk]]) 04:07, 25 June 2024 (UTC)

:Hello! If you have an image you feel would improve the page, you are certainly welcome to add it! Did you have a specific image in mind? {{User:Driftin Soul/Sig}} 04:13, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
::Sorry for the late reply 
::But it says that I'll have to ask to put the pic and I can't send it here xd

:::Sorry, I'm a little confused. What do you mean by "have to ask to put the pic"? Did someone else tell you this? {{User:Driftin Soul/Sig}} 00:12, 6 July 2024 (UTC)

== Account help ==

Hi there, I was told that if I needed help to have my old account redirected to my recent one that I should contact a mod. Since I have not had this sort of thing happen before I wasn't to sure where I should submit a help request so sorry if this isn't the right place. This is my old account with edits on it, the email address that I created the account with does not exist anymore: [[User:Wah Master]].

== Profile Template ==

Hello there!

I saw your template on your profile and I was wondering if I could have your permission to go ahead and use it, if that's okay! It'll be just the side profile in Orange that I use, but if there is already a page dedicating on how to make something similar to this, please let me know. Thank you!

== About those reverts to update pages ==

Why are you reverting them? I understand they might not be particularly helpful, but they're still information, and shouldn't they be included?

If Inkipedia only held "helpful" information, we wouldn't have as much content as we do today (trivia, etc.) Thanks for reading this! {{User:PawnShop75/Sig}} 22:06, 10 November 2024 (UTC)

:[[Inkipedia:Policy/Scope|Inkipedia's scope is not infinite]], and the info you're adding in this case is ultimately minor (what specific good does it do a reader to know what number a particular update is in the update history?). Even if a reader ''does'' happen to be interested, this info can be easily surmised by browsing our update list pages. Trivia is not a good example either, as we make an active effort to minimize trivia whenever possible per the trivia policy.
:I'm also not a huge fan of the adding of info to multiple pages with the clear knowledge that it is incorrect grammar & causes the pages to read worse, nor the explicit plea to have someone else fix it. If this editing had continued for however many dozens of update pages we have across multiple games, you would have been knowingly creating considerable cleanup work for other editors. {{User:Driftin Soul/Sig}} 22:17, 10 November 2024 (UTC)
::Alright, that makes sense. Thanks a lot. {{User:PawnShop75/Sig}} 22:18, 10 November 2024 (UTC)
