Talk:Creeping Chrysanthemum

I just have to point this out: The Mariowiki just has more and better information on articles than the Mario Wikia. The "are you serious?" sounded a little, well; harsh. What do you disagree about?

...And how do you make these Wiki-to-Wiki links?--Prezintenden

Sorry about that, I was just a bit annoyed that Talk:Unspeakable Wonder was ignored and completely disregarded. Anyway, Mario Wikia, since it's overshadowed by Mariowiki, has a smaller userbase, so their articles are obviously shorter and less informative. While you might think "Well then, why wouldn't you want to link to Mariowiki?" I'm kind of sympathetic to the idea of a struggling sister wikia, so I'd like to do as much as possible to attract people to the site. ...That, and wikia links don't have those...unsightly external link symbols...like that matters, though. Of course, we do have several regular users who have loyalties to Mariowiki. I'd love it if we could establish some kind of wiki-linking standard.

Oh, and to answer your question, other wikia which are part of the Central Wikia can be linked to by using [[w:c:(wikia name):(pagename)|(alternate text)]]. You can also just exclude the page name to link right to the main page. Wikis that are part of Wikia's [[wikia:Interwiki map|interwiki map]], like Wikipedia, can be linked to simply by using <nowiki>[[(wiki name)|page name]], like [[wikipedia:Pikmin]]. Independent wikis, like Mariopedia, which are not part of the interwiki map must be externally linked to. See wikia:Help:Tutorial 5 for more details. —Jimbo Jambo

Um, Mariowiki has waaaaay more info on piranha plants and mario. Why can't it be a link to that? Mcoolister T, C, R

Read it, he explained... And I agree. The link should stay as it is. The 4th of March was a rather busy day for me; actually, most days seem to be at the moment, so I somehow managed to dogde the Unspeakable Wonder page. Sorry (Not to mention that this day was over pretty fast. Brrr..). I've been using most of this day trying to find out how I can repair my XBox myself; it would save me so much trouble... Holidays are in two weeks, I'll get back to the things that need more time here.

Oh, and thanks for the link-explanation.--Prezintenden

I dunno, you kinda have a point, but...egh. —Jimbo Jambo

Alright, you all may think I'm totally biased, but I don't care. The other wiki has almost nothing. Unless users from other wikis begin to contribute there, there might not even be enough information to link to. Mariowiki does have that info. Alright, there ya go, my two cents. You may hate them. InfectedShroom.

I think you've already made your opinion abundantly clear. —Jimbo Jambo

You really think that I spammed that wiki a lot, don't you? I made one vandal edit. I was being stupid. I said I was sorry and now feel like an idiot for ever doing it. Same with the flaming. Please, I'm not normally like that. Will you give me a second chance? InfectedShroom.Please?

I call'em creepy chrysanthemum. :) Prof. 21:55, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

It looks like those piranha plants when you fill 'em up with water, ya'know from super mario sunshine? Nin10dude

It does kind of look like that. I also think there should be a better picture. One without the day meter and all that on it. Pikmin Expert 00:18, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

It looks like Petey Piranha's younger brother, lol Dockywho 11:03, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

Um it appears that despite being in the same family as the margrate, it has the same genus name as the dandelion. Anyone else notice that?

I noticed that just now since you pointed it out...and Im kind of confused as to why Nintendo did that actually.Anyway someone should put the trophy info on the article,its like that with other ones with trophies so someone should put it here.--Man-at-Legs888 23:48, 8 February 2011 (EST)

There is a similar situation with the Flint Beetle, Glint Beetle, and the Doodlebug. The genera are different because they are in different families, despite sharing a name. I have no idea why this is, though. Vol (Talk)

Yeah I never got why all 3 beetles were in different family's.Hocotatians have strange classifications like how the bulborb larva has a different scientific name then the adults.Only wogpoles share the same scientific name as the adults,for some reason.--Man-at-Legs888 18:23, 9 February 2011 (EST)

Also it strange that all 3 beetles have the same genus but there in different families.In real life that would never happen.Families contain different genera witch contain different species.For creatures in other families to have the same genus as in another family would be impossible.(yeah Im a taxonomy nerd.)Any way maybe we should add this to trivia some ware?,Along with how the Creeping Chrysanthemum has the same genus as the dandelion.--Man-at-Legs888 14:16, 16 June 2011

Yeah, we should add that as trivia, but maybe with more casual-friendly text. Also, dude, calm down with the edits. It's ok if there's a typo or two in talk pages. It's better to let it be then to fill the wiki with hundreds of edits that correct the previous one. Also, remember to preview before submitting so you can make sure you aren't going to post typos, as to avoid correcting several times with different edits. {Espyo^T} 18:10, 16 June 2011 (EDT)

Sorry.Its just that the first edits had my sentence not even here because of a mistake so I had to fix it.--Man-at-Legs888 18:14, 16 June 2011 (EDT)

Any alternate ways? Ps I lost 30 pikmin in a day on him. - Pikmin heroic (talk • contribs)

Throw a pikmin at it's eyes, then lob it with purples when it comes out. that's what I do. - AeroBlaze777 (talk • contribs)

I mean in rumbling grotto. - Pikmin heroic (talk • contribs)

For that, just use a hit and run technique. attack it a little, go far away to let it start turning around. Then sneak back up on it and attack. - AeroBlaze777 (talk • contribs)

Ambuloradicis

According to the Piklopedia, both the various Pikmin and the Startle Spore belong to the Ambuloradicis class. Now, the term "Ambuloradicis" was only introduced in Pikmin 4, but the Creeping Chrysanthemum's notes say it belongs to the same "group of creatures with ambulatory root structures" as Pikmin. So I looked up the Japanese version of the notes, and the term used is 歩根類^?, meaning something like "walk-root class", the same name as the Ambuloradicis in Pikmin 4. So it turns out Pikmin 2 would have been the first mention of the class if the term existed in English back then. I'm just not sure what to do with this information... 2 B (talk) 11:45, November 17, 2023 (EST)

Leaves

Regarding the Piklopedia leaves trivia topic: the Japanese equivalent of that line was actually changed from not needing leaves to not needing to perform photosynthesis using its leaves. The translators probably kept the line as it was because it already mentioned photosynthesis. I'm not sure how to explain this in article-worthy trivia terms, though. 2 B (talk) 13:24, March 3, 2024 (EST)

Ew

The new one looks ugly, change my mind. ~I’m PikminKart SuperCircuit, and I know the Pikmin Comic schedule! 13:52, April 26, 2024 (EDT)
