Re:Advertisements.png

It worked for me, but I reuploaded it just in case something went wrong. Thanks for letting me know! - ShrimpPin 12:27, 7 June 2015 (UTC)Reply[reply]

It wasn't working still, and then I figured it out...my adblocker blocked the image, hah! I suppose the "Advertisement" part ticked it off. Thanks, ~SuperHamster Talk 15:58, 7 June 2015 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hey, SuperHamster. I kinda forgot to talk about this sooner, but I was wonder if edits like these fall under the scope of the Advertisement Policy. I know that the edits were made before the policy was in place, but there seems to be pieces left here and there in a few of the missions. --SgvSth (talk) 03:39, 9 June 2015 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hey Sgv - yes, that's definitely spamming. Linking to a tutorial video is one thing (not that we should be doing that in lieu of writing content), but the whole bit with the author's names and the request for subscribers is definitely out of line. Thanks for asking! ~SuperHamster Talk 03:42, 9 June 2015 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I've left a note on their talk page. ~SuperHamster Talk 03:46, 9 June 2015 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Thank you for that. It kinda slipped my mind for a bit. (Although it is on a different subject, I would also like to ask if Category:Amiibo could be recreated? I ask since there will need to be article on the gear that is branded (Squid Hairclip, Power Mask, Samurai Helmet, etc.) and a few images that could use them.) Either way, thanks for the help again. --SgvSth (talk) 05:53, 9 June 2015 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Splatoonwiki? Inkipedia?

I was just wondering, why is the domain splatoonwiki.org if the wiki is Inkipedia? marikdff 03:30, 10 June 2015 (UTC)

I'm not really sure - I joined after the domain was set up. Perhaps it's more identifiable, or a name change occurred early on. Either way, we do also own inkipedia.org, so maybe a domain name change could occur at some point. ~SuperHamster Talk 03:34, 10 June 2015 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Then how about redirecting splatoonwiki.org to inkipedia.org? --marikdff 03:37, 10 June 2015 (UTC)

Yes, that'd be what'd happen if we move the domain :) May be worth bringing this up on the Pump. ~SuperHamster Talk 03:38, 10 June 2015 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Category question

I was wondering if there was any way for me to edit Category: articles that need images. Because the file link dosent have the right name, but when i try to edit it, it will only let me edit the first two to three lines, and i wanted to know if only admins could edit categorys. SmallZapFish 17:28, 12 June 2015 (UTC)

Hey there - if you're trying to edit the category page itself, you should be able to edit it just fine. A category contains links to pages and files that have been placed in that category, which is done by placing [[Category:Category Name]] on those pages. You can't change the pages within the category by editing the category itself. If you see a file with an improper name, that's because the file is actually improperly named and that file will have to be moved. ~SuperHamster Talk 03:52, 13 June 2015 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I hate to jump into the discussion thread here, but the rule of thumb is to keep the conversation in the same area, so here goes. The specific issue that you saw is related to a template that, when placed in an article or in a file like you saw, will add it to Category:Articles that need images. The category divided the files from the articles, which is why it looked to be at the bottom of the category. In any case, there is a separate file that would have been that file, so I tagged it as delete. (Though, I only noticed that we already have a separate file as I typed this up and originally assumed that it would need to be replaced later.) In any case, if you see a file like that in that specific category, or any of the other maintenance categories, then it is likely coming from a file that has a template on it that is causing the trouble. (As a small side note: Using a colon in front of a link to a file or category will turn it into a normal link instead of showing the file or adding the category to the page.) --SgvSth (talk) 08:57, 13 June 2015 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Thanks for clarifying Sgv :) ~SuperHamster Talk 17:20, 13 June 2015 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Possible Inappropriate Content Policy Violation?

Hi, I just recently came across this edit on Marie's page. The part about Moray Towers was quickly removed by another user, and no trace of it is left currently, but the part about her recent comment during the NA Splatfest announcement has been up until I hid it just now. Did these statements violate Inkipedia's Inappropriate Content Policy to some degree? SilverStarlight (talk) 19:40, 9 August 2015 (UTC)Reply[reply]
