== "You" or "player"? ==
Hey guys, I was wondering, should we use "you" or "player" in the articles? Player sounds more uh intelligent I guess, and I'd prefer "player" substituted with "you". What do you guys think?--[[User:Richard1990|Richard]] 01:38, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

* Please put universion things on the main Page. But I also think that we should use Olimar isntead of 'you' or 'player'. Unlike Knights of the Old Republic, you have a name, and its 'Olimar'.

== Naming of Pikmin (game) and Pikmin (species) ==
== Naming of Pikmin (game) and Pikmin (species) ==
Although Pikmin 1 is not the official title of the game, I believe for the sake of disambiguation between categories and articles its an acceptable alternative name and should be used as the article title, (although the intro would state the official title as Pikmin). Currently linking to Pikmin (game) is confusing for new users and laborious compared to using Pikmin 1. Category naming also presents a problem of consistency, currently we have a category named <nowiki>[[:Category:Pikmin 1 Ship Parts]]</nowiki>, from that title its obvious its about ship parts in the first game, however if we used the official title: Pikmin Ship Parts, are we now talking about parts of a spaceship belonging to the Pikmin? Using the current disambiguated name "Pikmin (game) Ship Parts" is very ugly for a title

I would also like to move the Pikmin (species) article to Pikmin as they are essentially what this is all about! the current disambiguation article located there is small and can easily become a small disambiguation at the top of the Pikmin (species) article like many articles on wikipedia use. So in summary I'd like to see.

The community is welcome to pick out a user or two who they feel is active, fits the above description and understands the information above about what it means to be an admin, and whom the community feels they can trust. If there is no user who completely fits that, the community is also free to see if there are any general Wikia users such as me who have admin experience elsewhere who could come and watch over the wiki. We could even be given Bureaucrat to promote any user who appears to have grown enough to fit in as an admin. ~ '''NOTASTAFF''' Dantman<sup>([Talk])</sup>

Well, in the end, I think Greenpickle has more 'Wiki know-how', and it shouldn't be neccesary to get admins from another Wiki to help here. But if Pikmin 3 comes to existance, then this site will expand, so some new admin would surely be helpful. -[[User:Prezintenden|<b><span style="color:Gray">Prezintenden</span></b>]]<sub>[[User talk:Prezintenden|<span style="color:Gray">(babble)</span>]]</sub> 17:00, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

I visit here most days as well, and am by nature a perfectionist, which'd help with keeping the place 'clean'. I'm guessing that WikiText would include more than just what's on the Wikipedia Cheatsheet; things that I've encountered, but would like more information on (is there a tutorial anywhere?).- [[User:Greenpickle|<b><span style="color:Green">Greenpickle</span></b>]]<sub>[[User talk:Greenpickle|<span style="color:Green">(talk)</span>]]</sub> 07:42, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

As for this. What it looks like could be used in this case (where we have 3 or so normal users who are good as contributors, knowledgeable about the basics of WikiText, but would only work out as light admins [Basically ones who just work on deletions and such of spam and other things]) that what would be good for the wiki is someone with good leadership skills in the community as a bureaucrat. That way the bureaucrat could work on the deletions and stuff at the start, and watch the other users and how active they are and when perhaps someone else is needed for deletions, to promote the best user for the task to Sysop.

If you guys have anyone who has good community leadership skills, they could adopt the wiki. Or I could if you want, I'm more of the leading and technical over content person, so as the wiki appears to have good contributors I'd be fine with adopting it if you can't find anyone real good with the kind of leadership and reasoning skills used normally on a wiki. ~ '''NOTASTAFF''' Dantman<sup>([Talk])</sup>

I think that most of this should be moved to the [[Pikipedia:Community Portal|Community Portal]] talk page; talk here should be about the Main Page, and talk there should be about the Wiki as a whole.  It's not too important, but it could do with being done.- [[User:Greenpickle|<b><span style="color:Green">Greenpickle</span></b>]]<sub>[[User talk:Greenpickle|<span style="color:Green">(talk)</span>]]</sub> 14:13, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

:Actually, we don't normally use the Community Portal talkpage method. Normally on Wikia we use the DPL Forums system and setup a bit of a forum for discussion on things about the wiki. Take a look at the Narutopedia's. I could always set it up here as I have the Sysop tag needed to do some of the setup. ~ '''NOTASTAFF''' Dantman<sup>([Talk])</sup>

== Statistics ==
I've recently come across a page of statistics for this wiki, and it's quite interesting.  The things that stood out most are:
*The last two months have seen the highest numbers of users making more than 5 edits ever (7 for September, 9 for October).
*Article are the largest they've ever been.
*The wiki contains 3500 internal links and 114,000 words.
*We have 4 external images embedded (where are those?  I want to make them internal.)
*I have made the fourth most edits of any user here...yay! (Prezintenden's 6th, Me just in's 16th.)
Interested in all of it? Here's the page: <s>[]</s>.  I think it takes a couple of days to update, as Maaul still has one edit. - [[User:Greenpickle|<b><span style="color:Green">Greenpickle</span></b>]]<sub>[[User talk:Greenpickle|<span style="color:Green">(talk)</span>]]</sub> 17:05, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

==What's the point of this?==
It just has a load of random stuff from various sources.  However, it's linked on a ''lot'' of user talk pages as it's in the welcome.  What shall we put here?  I'm thinking we make it less of an article, more of a thing like the main page, with boxes and stuff, with the aim being to let people know how to get started contributing, and what's going on in the community.  Move the 'help contents' and 'editing' boxes from the main page to here, add a news box, link to recent changes, both forums, current projects, user lists (already there).  A box to create a forum topic, right from this page.  Thoughts? <span style="font-family:times;">'''''[[User:Greenpickle|<span style="color:#080;">G</span>]][[User talk:Greenpickle|<span style="color:#050;">P</span>]]'''''</span>
