If I may?

I need help with something in particular. I wish to edit the update history section of King Dedede's page. I want to change all "Gordo Tosses" to "Gordo Throw". However, I am unsure on how to do it, as when I go to edit the section...there's a small section of text that indicates update itself, but it doesn't show any of the changes. I had asked Serpent King for help prior, but he did not respond. I appreciate your time. Capnap64 (talk) 11:25, 3 May 2018 (EDT)

It appears he's already answered this but just to clarify, when you get to the page, it will look as though it's mostly empty, as the character specific information is hidden, so you'll need to click edit and view the source to find the update list for King Dedede and correct the information.

Indeed, he already did answer, but I am indebted for your time and attention. I will be pleased to work with you for the time I am here. Capnap64 (talk) 13:18, 3 May 2018 (EDT)

Inkling Pronouns

Hello. You recently undid the edit I made to the Super Jump page, and I wanted to let you know why I'll be reverting it. When we have character who can be multiple genders, such as Wii Fit Trainer, Pokémon Trainer, or Corrin, we use the pronoun of whatever their default form is. For Inkling, that is female. You can see this "policy" in action on the pages of the characters I've listed, including Inkling's. I apologize for any confusion, and I understand why there was a misunderstanding. I also made this error when editing Inkling's page. I hope this clears things up. Toymaker's Creation "Thank you for your contribution." 13:14, 17 June 2018 (EDT)

Wait, hold up. Per SW:1RV you can't just announce that you're going to revert it back without actually discussing the issue first. The problem with listing Inkling as explicitly male or female is that we don't technically know which one will be the default costume on the game's release. Additionally in the case of the Inklings the argument can be made that neither is the "default", and which one happens to be the default costume is arbitrary.

My apologies, I had been careless with the revert. I should have waited for a response. Now, my argument is that it isn't arbitrary. As with other multi-gendered characters, the "default" is whichever first appears when hovered in the character select or appears most prominently in promotional material (such as the official website). We don't have to "technically" know which one will be the default on release because we are only using information from the demo as a guide. Just about anything could change between now and release, so saying that it could change between now and release could be used as an argument not to put any information we saw in the demo on the wiki. We operate based on what we know now, and all available information indicates that the default form for Inkling is female.
