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. | The old wiki image wasn't the right size, so I had a go at making a new one.

[[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 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.

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.

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 think the links in the first box on the page (top left) should be removed or moved to the quick links box.
