==Protected==
Don't you think that our Main Page should be '''protected''' so that no common rapscallion will be able to mock our wiki by destroying the Main Page? Most large wikis have done this, so it should be advised we take this action so that only news and important additions should be checked and made by the wiki's officials. --[[User:The Pikmin God|The Pikmin God]] 15:46, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

I agree, for one thing, there are people who would do this or even cover this page with curse words, then there are the people who are board and don't have anything to do, and THEN we have to deal with the people who decide to mess with it when pikmin 3 comes out, so with all do respect, do it!--[[User:Prof.pikmin|Prof.]] 00:33, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

:Check out the [[Talk:Main Page#Main page protection|Main Page Protection]] section further down this page. The Main Page was protected for a while, but we were advised to leave it unprotected to registered users only unless it became a specific target for vandalism, and we haven't actually had a lot of trouble with it, at least not so much that couldn't easily be handled. It also makes it a lot easier for users to fix minor problems with it without having to go and tug the sleeve of an admin to do it for them. {{user:Jimbo Jambo/sig}} 18:40, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

==Featured Article==
When will we start the featured article? I think Revan was planning to publish this supposedly...stolen...idea, and put it on the Main Page. We should also improve the quality of the Main Page by andding colored boxes and including a guide to reading and finding the information. This page is still recomended by me to be protected. --[[User:The Pikmin God|The Pikmin God]] 20:41, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

==Unprotected==
For whatever reason this page should be unprotected, go right ahead. I just protected it to make sure that our Title Page wouldn't be subject to simple vandalism: destroying Main Pages. --[[User:The Pikmin God|The Pikmin God]] 21:02, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

==Improvement Drive==
What is the Improvement Drive section supposed to have on it?--[[User:The Pikmin God|The Pikmin God]] 20:14, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

The iprovement drive needs any article that lacks any vital information.I'm not sure if you have to nominate an article and then people vote if they want it,Or that an admin or someone just puts it there.--[[User:Goolix|<b><span style="color:orange">Goolix</span></b>]]<sup>[[User talk:goolix|burp!!!]]</sup>[[Image:Black_Sun.jpg|30px]][[Image:Mandoinsignia.jpg|color:blue|20px]] 23:19, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

You guys should have links to various articles. Maybe have boxes for different things (featured article, articles, and another box for... I dunno categories?). Maybe put the info about the wiki in the about page.--[[User:Richard1990|Richard]] 01:11, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

i think we should put the main page as the improvement drive it needs boxes and stuff and we need a group of people that are willing to update the page every month 
(or week). and we should have a wikipedian of the month kinda thing you know.--[[User:Goolix|<b><span style="color:orange">Goolix</span></b>]]<sup>[[User talk:goolix|burp!!!]]</sup>[[Image:Black_Sun.jpg|30px]][[Image:Mandoinsignia.jpg|color:blue|20px]] 23:19, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

Hey you said the images are random right well something must be wrong because I saw the same image twice in the past 5 minutes.[[User:Yoshi|Yoshi]] March 24 8:27

== New wiki image ==

The old wiki image wasn't the right size, so I had a go at making a new one. I'm unsure of the licensing on the old image, my new image can't technically be used and someone needs to redraw it at some point. I'll just leave my new version here on the talk page for now if people like it we can use it temporarily but really someone needs to create some original artwork.

[[User:Discordance|Discordance]] 13:35, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Hmm maybe not, other wikia wikis seem to be using copyrighted images, so im going to go ahead and change the logo, some orginal artwork would be preferable though if theres any artists out there. [[User:Discordance|Discordance]] 13:46, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

how did you change the logo?--[[User:Goolix|<b><span style="color:Blue">Goolix</span></b>]]<sup>[[User talk:goolix|burp!!!]]</sup>[[Image:Black_Sun.jpg|30px]] 01:55, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

== Main page spoilers ==

I've noticed that one of the pages on the Featured Article rotation ('Louie') contains what is probably the biggest spoiler in the series - and for that to be there as soon as someone visits the Wiki isn't good.

==Main Page Discussion==
It is preferred if discussion not related to the main page would be posted on the forums:

== Main page protection ==

Hullo there! I'm Kirkburn, a Wikia Gaming Helper, and I've just reduced the protection of the Main Page to registered users only.

[[Wikia:Protection|Wikia's protection policy]] advises that pages only be protected if they are the target of vandalism - otherwise full protection can cause more damage to the wiki through neglect than vandalism may have otherwise done. I hope this is not a problem! [[User:Kirkburn|Kirkburn]] ([[User_talk:Kirkburn|talk]]) 09:00, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

==Hmm...==
Odd, but when I go to the main page, it starts to load the entire thing, but when it is done loading, half of it is... um... Chopped off. I don't know how to explain it, but the "Random Excerpts," "Did You Know...?," "Random picture," "Contents," "Editing," and "Help Desk" sections disappear. Has this happened to anyone else?

:Blame Green. He divided everything into little tabs at the top of the content area, right below the ''Edit'', ''Discussion'', etc. stuff. I can't complain though, since he made a draft and asked if it was okay and nobody objected. Actually though, speaking of etc., why'd you choose to spell out the entire thing Green? Don't people usually just say "etc."? {{user:Jimbo Jambo/sig}}

I love how you did this wiki! I'd edit here but I don't do Pikmin :p. Anyway, you guys must be coder extraordinaries to do all this. I'm a b-crat on Zeldapedia, so I came also to ask how you guys made the sidebar colorful and how you added the pikmin image in the background. That would be a great help.

:::...Fail. There's nothing in my monobook as I removed it as it's all in [[mediawiki:monobook.css]] now. As for the answer, you could look at that; that's pretty much all I did - looked at other wikis. I pretty much taught myself CSS by example through creating this skin, and it kind of shows at least a little on IE. I've labeled the sections, so you can find the bits you asked about by looking at the titles on that page.

The background is two images: one for the back, outside the page, that's fully opaque; and a paler one in the content area to create the idea of transparency. If you have further questions, ask away.{{User:Greenpickle/sig}} 16:43, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

==Links==
I think the links in the first box on the page (top left) should be removed or moved to the quick links box. This would let the text in the top left box spread out a bit more, so the feature can move up a bit, so more of it is on the screen as should be the case. Also, I'm not sure why links like that are in that box anyway.{{User:Greenpickle/sig}}

:I agree... {{User:Crystal_lucario/Sig}}

:I think those are some good links to have, but considering that we do have a "Quick Topics" box, they probably could be moved. {{user:Jimbo Jambo/sig}}

== great idea ==

:::What are you going to write? If you're doing nothing other than listing them, I wouldn't consider it worth an entire article.--{{User:Prezintenden/sig}}

::::Yeah, that, unless you're suggesting all implied characters' articles (if they have any? Can't remember) be removed and put on that one page. I guess it makes sense to have them all listed somewhere together, though, if they don't already have articles, since we have at least a sentence of text about each, but it would be quite a short article.{{User:Greenpickle/sig}}

== New Featured Article ==

I Noticed The Article Was Changed To "Scales" By an IP. i edited it so it wouldn't end up like

And i changed the link to the [[Scales|corresponding article]]. If I Find Another Error I Will Fix It. and there is many errors. Especially That Spam On The [[Bulbmin]] Article. i fixed that BTW. Woah! 2 Links In 1 Comment! {{User:Redpikminflamethrower/Sig}}

== Piklopedia ==

For some reason, Ive found it hard to reach the piklopedia, if someone could make it easier to reach such as make a direct link to some of the major things on the main page such as areas, the piklopedia, and the treasure hoard.--[[User:Prof.pikmin|Prof.]] 01:17, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

:You could just use the search box.

:I thought the idea was just for certain people to change it without a vote, so it can be changed more often than the featured article. Or maybe elect one person, and if others feel an image needs featuring, they can leave a suggestion at [[template talk:featured image]], so that if there is something people want it gets featured, but otherwise something gets featured anyway and it doesn't get left the same for ages.

:We discussed it earlier, and I don't know how it ended up. Ask Green. {{User:Snakeboss14/sig}}

==Ad Box==

Several wikis have their main pages redirect to another page to avoid the large ad box on the main page. This is now default for all new wikis. I think we should move it.
{{User:Volatile Dweevil/Sig}}

:It just shows up on Main Page, not whatever's in mediawiki:mainpage?  That's odd: getting around ads sounds like it would be against Wikia policy, but I've seen staff suggest moving the main page to the title of the wiki - maybe that was before the new adverts?

==Background image==
Our current background image is a bit... lackluster. I propose a new image. Mainly because of:
*Its dimensions are a bit weird. My Firefox is set to use a soft blue as a default background color, so the left half of the background is a solid blue and the other half is the image [http://dl.dropbox.com/u/47921869/Pikipedia%20background.png]. Most wikis use:
**A picture that is a lot longer than ours.
**A transparent one, so the browser's background color can blend in.
**A small image repeated as a pattern.
*Secondly, that image isn't that good to begin with... in my opinion.
**It's just a Purple and White Pikmin, with tons of copy-pasted buried White Pikmin.
**Clay Pikmin figures are... well, funny, but they aren't exactly good looking. Specially regarding the Pikmin series, with games that have very beautiful graphics at some points.
**The foreground Pikmin are ''floating''. Look at the shadows!
So, with all that, I strongly believe we should come up with some other picture. User made or not, I just think this one should be changed. Anything that follows those points I mentioned before would be great. Thoughts? '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 14:04, 12 February 2012 (EST)

== NIWA Check in request ==

Hello, I'm dkpat from Golden Sun Universe/NIWA. I recently made a thread on the NIWA forums requests that an admin from each wiki "check-in" and give an update on their wiki activity. I would appreciate it if someone from Pikipedia (and PikiminFanon) could check in. Thank you. [http://www.niwanetwork.org/forums/index.php?topic=1274.0 Link] [[Special:Contributions/136.165.223.85|136.165.223.85]] 14:23, 25 October 2012 (EDT)

==Vandalism==
If you haven't noticed, the featured page text box has been vandalized to say "Hey there, fag<!---->got". I've checked in other edits before the latest one, and they all seem to have it, even the ones by trustworthy users such as Greenpickle and Espyo. I've tried editing it, but it doesn't seem to be there in the edit box. I'd like someone who's more skilled in programming to remove it. [[User:Los Plagas|Los Plagas]] ([[User talk:Los Plagas|talk]])

:...Errm, I'm afraid I can't follow.--{{User:Prezintenden/sig}}

It's been fixed now, so you may not have seen it. [[User:Los Plagas|Los Plagas]] ([[User talk:Los Plagas|talk]])

== "Toolbox" Text Mistake ==

Um... In the "TOOLBOX", on the sidebar to the left, there is a link which says "Related changes". Although, when I click such page, the URL states that the page the link leads to is supposed to be a "Recent changes" page.

Is the link supposed to appear as "Recent changes"?  I think so, as it is in other wikis...

Update: OMG I FORGOT TO SIGN.--[[Special:Contributions/187.153.125.180|187.153.125.180]] 23:21, 22 June 2013 (EDT)

No, it's fine. "Related Changes" is basically a Recent Changes, but only for the page that you're on. So, for example, if I click Related Changes on the main page, I will only see the recent contributions for ''that specific page''. -[[User:Los Plagas|Los Plagas]] ([[User talk:Los Plagas|talk]])

==Timer==
Pretty sure it's time for the timer to go (I just realized I made a horrible pun... yay). Like Vellidragon says, the timer isn't really needed anymore. Though, I guess we could make it go up, despite his/her objections to it.... "Pikmin 3 has been out in Japan for 5 days!" or the like. Despite it's comic value, though, that probably isn't a very good idea.... To summarize this kind of weird post: We should probably get rid of the timer. -<span style="font-family:times; color:#2C3539">'''''[[User: Los Plagas|Los]] [[User Talk:Los Plagas|<span style="color:#FF0000">Plagas</span>]]'''''</span>

==Background==
Continuing a conversation from earlier that could've blossomed into something but unfortunately didn't due to my computer randomly breaking the Internet connection, I'm glad you agree that the backround of Pikipedia needs a ''major'' update. I'd suggest a similar theme, because I really think the Purple and White Pikmin work well together, but I'd also include other Pikmin, possibly as sprouts in the backround to replace the simple (and ugly) copy and pasted White sprouts. I also really think that the new backround, if you do make/find one, should also be white (as in, everything other than the components of the image, I.E. logos, Pikmin, etc.). Not only would it be quite jarring for Pikipedia users to go to the website and suddenly find a say, green backround, I also really hate the Pikmin Wikia's look, which is also green. It's just very hard to read text on a green backround. That said, since this isn't really the most appropriate place for a long discussion pertaining to an important component of the wiki, if you feel this has potential, we should move this topic into a forum, or a place like [[Talk:Main Page]]. -<span style="font-family:times; color:#2C3539">'''''[[User: Los Plagas|Los]] [[User Talk:Los Plagas|<span style="color:#FF0000">Plagas</span>]]'''''</span>
:Yes, we should move it to a forum or talk page. Probably [[Talk:Main Page]]. I have no idea about what images to use, but I guess I'll cook something up tomorrow. I can't edit anything though, 'cause I don't have admin powers, but I can still create mockups. <span style="font-size:70%">And for future reference, it's "background" ;)</span> — '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 20:49, 28 August 2013 (EDT)

::::::Toomai, your idea is actually very nice. However, would it trouble you to somehow add text stating "Pikipedia" in a fashionable way somewhere?

I can see how they're symbolic of linking and how this is basically a living encyclopedia, but they do seem rather out of place. Furthermore, I approve of the white background, since it makes it very easy to read text, but would it trouble you to somehow add color behind the White Pikmin?

Unless you just created that as a sketch, to later be replaced by some official artwork, in that case, withdrawn. Skipping that discussion, I agree with you when he said that the on text might distract from the text on pages.

== Gallery Renovation ==

Hi, I had an idea to renovate the galleries like Super Mario Wiki does theirs. When I look at galleries, such as [[Red Pikmin]], I can't help but notice the lack of organization. Maybe they can be split into subsections, e.g. artwork and screenshots, to better organize them. If lot of images pertain to that subject, maybe a Gallery mainspace (again [[mariowiki:Gallery:SMB|like Mario Wiki does]]). For game gallery pages, should we make a gallery subpage and try and include all the artwork for each section? Thanks [[User:Results May Vary|Results May Vary]] ([[User talk:Results May Vary|talk]]) 17:56, 8 October 2018 (EDT)
:Sure thing, but for pages with really big galleries, we should instead use a link to the images category with {{tem|see more}}. [[Distant Tundra]]'s an example of a page that's already doing this. If the wiki has a lot of images on a subject, and some go unused because they're not included in any gallery, we can take care of that if it happens (create gallery pages, add them to other articles, etc.), but for now, I think this is the ideal solution. &mdash; '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 17:08, 16 October 2018 (EDT)

== Official ''Pikmin'' artwork crops ==
So on PidgiWiki, there a bunch of crops with transparent backgrounds of the enemies in the first game. [https://www.pidgi.net/wiki/File:Puffstool_-_Pikmin.png Example 1], [https://www.pidgi.net/wiki/images/a/ae/Emperor_Bulblax_-_Pikmin.png example 2]. Problem is, they're very rough crops, with aliasing. So I'm starting to doubt their legitimacy. If they are official, why would they be so shoddily cropped, instead of being transparent renders directly from Nintendo's models? In the meantime, I had made some manual crops that are much smoother. [[:File:Puffstool.png|Example 1]], [[:File:Emperor Bulblax.png|example 2]]. If those crops are official, I guess we should use them, but if not, my crops work fine. Until then, let's keep my crops the way they were, and in the meantime, we should try to investigate the truth. &mdash; '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 14:11, 27 October 2018 (EDT)

--[[User:Ben|Ben]] ([[User talk:Ben|talk]]) 17:01, 11 December 2018 (EST)
:Do you mean the icon image, or how the icon gets applied when you call {{tem|icon}}? For the former, it depends. Icons from Pikmin 2 come directly from the Piklopedia textures in the game. Other icons are created by grabbing official art (or similar), and adding a black border around it. For the template, it's a very complicated template, but basically, it grabs the name of the subject you send to the template, and places the file called <code>File:&lt;subject&gt; icon.png</code>. This works because on the wiki, all of our icon files have that sort of file name, so the template can just place them down like that directly. &mdash; '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 04:04, 12 December 2018 (EST)
