Editing Template talk:Enemies

Is "Pikmin ''Enemies''" the right name/title for this?  If so, it's ready to be put on pages.{{User:Greenpickle/sig}}

:It's fine. What template do we insert?--{{User:Prezintenden/sig}}

::Template is <nowiki>{{Pikmin Enemies}}</nowiki>. If you don't mind me saying, though, the name seems a bit...drab? Probably the wrong word to use, but... I mean, it'll be fine if nothing better can be found, but perhaps it could use a bit of discussion before being slapped onto pages.

:::You're right, but it is what they are. "Foes"; I don't know. "Hostiles" and such is too fancy, and that also adds a little childish touch in a way. "Enemies" is the word used most throughout the wiki. Although, staying with the standard or simple isn't always bad (I find).--{{User:Prezintenden/sig}}

::::Okay, maybe "drab" really was a bad word to use. I'm actually having a little trouble putting the thought into words.... I just think we might be able to rephrase it, like ''Enemies of Pikmin'', or even just ''Enemies''. The treasure template is just ''Treasures''. Saying ''Pikmin Enemies'' or ''Enemies of Pikmin'' actually seems kind of redundant, considering that this is exclusively a Pikmin wiki, you know?

:::::You just convinced me. Open to other ideas if this is wrong. But considering <nowiki>{{treasures}}</nowiki>, it just seems right.--{{User:Prezintenden/sig}}

...That's why I asked.  You've got it wrong: this does have every enemy on it ''from Pikmin 1''.  That's the template.  But now I sort of think that all enemies should be in the same template, with "Pikmin 1", "Pikmin 2" and "Both Games" headings.  That would be called "Piklopedia", of course, as outlined at [[Forum:Page footers]].  So should we merge them like that or keep them separate as planned at that page.{{User:Greenpickle/sig}}

:Ah, I see.... I probably should have figured that from the name ''Spotty Bulborb''. If you went with separate templates, what would you do about enemies that appear in both games? If it were up to me, I'd probably go with one template with two headings, with beasties who appear twice listed under both I guess.

::I would put creatures from both games in both templates.  It would probably make sense to have just the one, but I feel that should be called "Piklopedia" anyway.{{User:Greenpickle/sig}}

:::''that all enemies should be in the same template''....''I would put creatures from both games in both templates''.

So what's the call? One or two? I get from this that your still uncertain, and I'd say we make "Piklopedia": Slab "Pikmin Enemies" on the top, along with all the old enemies with the old names. Add "Pikmin 2 Enemies" underneath, with the same for the Pikmin 2 cuties.

Here an example:

Admitted, the "Piklopedia" should probably have a bigger box, but I'm not sure yet. And the line between that and "Pikmin enemies" is intended.--{{User:Prezintenden/sig}}

:I think that we should have titles "Pikmin 1 Enemies" (the 1 as its absence confused you two in the first place), and "Piklopedia", as that is what the collection of enemies in Pikmin 2 is referred to.  And the whole thing should be called Enemies, as it is now.{{User:Greenpickle/sig}}
