Editing Pikipedia:Featured image nominations

Pikipedia has a '''featured image''' system, where selected high-quality images are shown on the [[Main Page]], similar to [[Pikipedia:Featured article|featured articles]]. The image shown changes automatically each day, based on the list of images in [[Template:Featured image]].

Anyone can nominate an image to be added to the featured image list. To do this, edit this page and add a link to the image you'd like to nominate, providing a short reason why you think it's high-quality if you'd like to. A staff member can then add the image to the template if they agree that it's high-quality. Images can be removed from the featured image list in the same way. Copying and pasting this skeleton may help:

[[File:Distant Tundra Snitchbug.jpg|thumb|One of the Swooping Snitchbugs in [[Distant Tundra]] in ''Pikmin 3 Deluxe''.]]
* - Drought Ender, idk I think it looks pretty.
** I agree, and although I think it could be slightly better, it's still absolutely good enough to be featured. I'll add it to the template when the first rotation is done and all the issues in the template have been fixed, which will be in a few months (sorry for the wait). &mdash; [[User:Soprano|'''Soprano''']]<sub>[[User talk:Soprano|''(talk)'']]</sub> 23:04, August 18, 2022 (EDT)

[[File:Spherical Atlas region differences.jpg|thumb|400px|400px size]]
* This image was recently featured, and I propose that we '''remove''' it from the featured image list, due to it being too wide to be seen clearly in the context featured images appear in. There's a limit to how large we can make images without them causing width issues on the Main Page on desktop, and at a good maximum width of 400px, the details in this image are too small to see. On mobile devices, this problem also exists. For that reason, I think we should un-feature this image and replace it with the one nominated above. &mdash; [[User:Soprano|'''Soprano''']]<sub>[[User talk:Soprano|''(talk)'']]</sub> 21:40, December 2, 2022 (EST)

* These are some of the pictures from [[Template talk:Featured image]]. I think these three are all good enough to feature. {{User:Cheepy/sig}}
** In my opinion, these images just aren't quite good enough... The Courage Reactor one has clearly been stretched from a 3:4 aspect ratio to 16:9, so its quality isn't good. The Short Movies one isn't at a high-enough resolution. The S.S. Drake one is alright, but the framing and lighting isn't great, and surely there's a better image of it we could feature? &mdash; [[User:Soprano|'''Soprano''']]<sub>[[User talk:Soprano|''(talk)'']]</sub> 19:26, December 10, 2022 (EST)
***There might be a better S.S. Drake picture somewhere. I could definitely get better-quality versions of the first and last pictures though. {{User:Cheepy/sig}}

*It might be a good idea to add some ''Pikmin 4'' prerelease images to the featured image list. These 3 are the best ones so far. If they were added, it would have to be indicated in the description that they're prerelease images (except for the key art). What do people think? &mdash; [[User:Soprano|'''Soprano''']]<sub>[[User talk:Soprano|''(talk)'']]</sub> 22:32, February 23, 2023 (EST)
**Agreed. They're good images now, and they'll be good images post-launch (where readers can compare to what the game looks like in its finished state). &mdash; '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 13:11, March 7, 2023 (EST)

*With the release of ''Pikmin 4'' i think we should add the treasure catalogue images of full series, they're really nice displays and would look great as featured images. Adalent 00:20, August 8, 2023 (EDT)

*It's been over a year but it's finally time for this update; I don't think we should add all of the series images, but we should add a few; I think the 4 above are the best ones. Should these images be featured? &mdash; [[User:Soprano|'''Soprano''']]<sub>[[User talk:Soprano|''(talk)'']]</sub> 04:50, September 11, 2024 (EDT)

[[File:The Final Trial HD.jpg|thumb|250x300px|A high-definition map of the [[The Final Trial]].]]
*This is the only HD map from ''Pikmin'' and ''Pikmin 2'' that hasn't been featured on the list, and I think it's good enough to be featured like the rest. &mdash; [[User:GGabryy|'''GGabryy''']]<sub>[[User talk:GGabryy|''(talk)'']]</sub> 18:26, February, 2024 (CET)
**The reason it wasn't selected is because of its height (it's a really tall image, which means it doesn't look as good in the template), and because it's a dedicated final area so it could be a bit of a spoiler (the Formidable Oak map is also not featured for this reason). &mdash; [[User:Soprano|'''Soprano''']]<sub>[[User talk:Soprano|''(talk)'']]</sub> 15:33, February 29, 2024 (EST)

[[File:P4 S2 Exit Chamber HH.jpg|thumb|Some breakable pots covering the air vent to exit the Hectic Hollows.]]
*I think this image is very aesthetically pleasing! The mushrooms and fallen leaves give a very cosy vibe, and the earthen hues of the floor are complimented astoundingly by the beige breakable pots. The light blue gleam just tops off the calm and beautiful image, denoting this grotto's proximity to the surface. I can almost feel the warm sunbeam on my face! <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif">[[User:Deeb1324354657|<span style="color:#1e02f5">Deeb1324354657</span>]] ([[User_talk:Deeb1324354657|<span style="color:#1e02f5">talk</span>]])</span> 14:47, July 22, 2024 (EDT)

*I would like to '''remove''' these ''Pikmin 4'' prerelease images from the featured image set. The first one has text on the artwork, which featured images ideally shouldn't have in my opinion, and the second one doesn't reflect the game as [[:File:P4 Blossoming Arcadia Introduction 1.jpg|the in-game version of this scene]] has slightly different lighting. [[:File:Pikmin 4 Reveal Fight.png|The third featured ''Pikmin 4'' prerelease image]] can stay featured though, as it represents the game and is a good demonstration of combat. &mdash; [[User:Soprano|'''Soprano''']]<sub>[[User talk:Soprano|''(talk)'']]</sub> 04:50, September 11, 2024 (EDT)
**Removing the pre-release Blossoming Arcadia image is a good idea alongside removing the key art especially since we don't have any featured key art that I can recall off the top of my head. [[User:Twins1105|Twins1105]] ([[User talk:Twins1105|talk]]) 19:05, September 11, 2024 (EDT)

*The cutscenes that play when you first visit each area in ''Pikmin 4'' have some great views of the areas, and I think some screenshots of these cutscenes should be featured.

*I think these ''Pikmin 4'' renders are pretty appealing and would make for good featured images. --[[User:PopitTart|PopitTart]] ([[User talk:PopitTart|talk]]) 20:37, September 11, 2024 (EDT)
**I think they're good images, but we shouldn't feature all of them. ''Pikmin 3'' has a similar set and I only picked the Yellow Pikmin and Rock Pikmin images. I think the best ones in this set are the Yellow Pikmin, White Pikmin, and Glow Pikmin images, so we could feature just those ones. If we just featured a few images from this set, would those be the best ones to choose? &mdash; [[User:Soprano|'''Soprano''']]<sub>[[User talk:Soprano|''(talk)'']]</sub> 18:13, September 23, 2024 (EDT)
***I know you were asking PopitTart, but if you'd like a second opinion, I think the Red Pikmin, Rock Pikmin, and Glow Pikmin ones are the best. <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif">[[User:Deeb1324354657|<span style="color:#1e02f5">Deeb1324354657</span>]] ([[User_talk:Deeb1324354657|<span style="color:#1e02f5">talk</span>]])</span> 18:19, December 6, 2024 (EST)

[[File:Whiptongue Bulborb Distant Tundra.png|thumb|A Whiptongue Bulborb contemplating life after eating a literal rock.]]
User [[User:Deeb1324354657|<span style="color:#1e02f5">Deeb1324354657</span>]] thought this image would make for a good nomination. Honestly, i didn't want to put it here myself, but they haven't put it here yet, so i'm doing it for them. On another note, i uploaded that picture with the intent of being able to edit the [[Bolbert]] page, as i found a pretty great picture (not this one, to be clear) for it. —[[User:Arcadius2006|Arcadius2006]] ([[User talk:Arcadius2006|talk]]) 07:42, December 7, 2024 (EST)
:Thanks! Sorry, yeah, I should have put it there myself, I got distracted. I just think, like a lot of images in the Distant Tundra, it's really pretty and desolate... I can just very clearly hear the area's wintry theme and whispering winds in my head when I see it. It's this type of image that really does prove the area lives up to its name! <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif">[[User:Deeb1324354657|<span style="color:#1e02f5">Deeb1324354657</span>]] ([[User_talk:Deeb1324354657|<span style="color:#1e02f5">talk</span>]])</span> 10:10, December 7, 2024 (EST)
