:I would agree with Greenpickle, but seeing as the wiki is trashing itself, and it has the same name as this wiki, it might lead people to believe that there is no clean, active Pikmin wiki, and lots of users seem to be finding that one first and assuming that this is the same site or just not finding this site. Plus the wikis are the same thing, this one is just improved and that one is just more vandalized. {{User:Volatile Dweevil/ | :I would agree with Greenpickle, but seeing as the wiki is trashing itself, and it has the same name as this wiki, it might lead people to believe that there is no clean, active Pikmin wiki, and lots of users seem to be finding that one first and assuming that this is the same site or just not finding this site.

I'm really not especially worried about competition, considering what I'm seeing there now, but I won't accept that there's no way to direct people to this wiki without tripping Wikia's alarms or resorting to corsairing. We used to have a News section on the front page until we deleted for rarely actually having anything to report, but perhaps we could write a news blurb, totally impartial and from no particular point of view, stating simply that much of the old community has moved. It probably won't get that much attention, but returning users looking for answers as to where everyone went might look there. {{user:Jimbo Jambo/sig}} 21:23, 26 October 2010 (EDT) | I'm really not especially worried about competition, considering what I'm seeing there now, but I won't accept that there's no way to direct people to this wiki without tripping Wikia's alarms or resorting to corsairing.

I have an unorthodox suggestion. I'm thinking about the possibility of [[wikipedia:Google bomb|Google bombing]] the new Pikipedia, and leave the old Wikia one behind. But I wouldn't possibly do it without asking for opinions first. To those that aren't quite sure what Google bombing is... basically, the pages that are most commonly called/accessed will be shown on top in Google's search results. If we Google bomb the new Pikipedia (which will basically access it several times, or something), it'll show up in first place rather than the old one.
