==Hey! Pikmin enemy stats==
==Hey! Pikmin enemy stats==
Hi Espyo. I've noticed that nearly every single Hey! Pikmin enemy stat table isn't filled out, or is only partially filled out, so I've been wondering if pikipedia can change it. This is probably because much of the categories (Weight, max carriers, regen, and seeds (pikmin seeds) are irrelevant as none of these mechanics are used in that game. Pikipedia was should probably invent a different stats table exclusive to Hey! Pikmin enemies. For enemies that appear in hey! Pikmin and other games (bulborb, fiery blowhog), there can be 2 different stats tables for those enemies, one for the main games, and one for H!P. I was thinking we can delete the max carriers, weight, and regen categories, and replace the seeds with sparklium, which some enemies drop upon death. We can also fix the health category by putting in the number of pikmin/pikmin hits needed to kill it, since there seems to not be any health values recorded. Although this would be smaller, the stats table would be more accurate. Maybe we can even come up with a new stats like speed. -CrazyCow

:Hi. Hm, that sounds like a good idea. The enemies do have a health number, and we can get that from the game files. It's just that nobody's done that yet. Pointing down the number of Pikmin throws it takes to kill isn't as reliable, especially because different Pikmin types cause different amounts of damage (I think). I'm also not sure if any enemy regenerates. If you could confirm that, that'd be nice. &mdash; '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 16:59, 10 January 2019 (EST)
::Okey. So it seems like different Pikmin types do different damages (Reds do more, Wingeds do less). It seems like no one has really recorded the health, as the pikmin technological base wiki only supplies the internal names of enemies, and basically nothing else. Although we can measure the health using Yellow and Blue Pikmin, which mostly are referred to do "normal" damage, it wouldn't be a very accurate way to do this. However, most enemies in the game only need on hit to kill, regardless of the pikmin type, but the value of this is still uncertain. Some tables have 0 filled out in this case, while the Pikmin Fanon, another pikmin site has them filled out as 1. Oh yeah, and no enemy regenerates, as the corpses disappear and none do it like the Plasm Wraith. Perhaps we can use the technical damage used by Yellows and Blues from other games, and multiply that damage by the amount of hits to kill? Thanks for your feedback.

::Oops I meant "fandom" not fanon sorry [[User:CrazyCow|CrazyCow]] ([[User talk:CrazyCow|talk]]) 18:23, 13 January 2019 (EST)
:::Note that the wiki on fandom has been abandoned for years, and is filled with misinformation. Other than that, the values do exist in the files, as I've seen them. It's just that they never got documented anywhere by anyone. I want to find the time to do that one day... We could measure from the number of hits of a "normal" Pikmin, but there are a few problems. For one thing, there's the human error; a person counting dozens of hits by hand is bound to accidentally miscount one or two, and the situation becomes harder if, for instance, a Pikmin decides to jump on the enemy's back. Plus, I'm sure some enemies only appear in stages that only feature certain types of non-normal Pikmin. Getting the values from the game files and setting stuff up similarly to how the mainline games's stats table works should be easy enough. I'll try to do that as soon as I can. &mdash; '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 18:35, 14 January 2019 (EST)
:::Okay, this is not going to be easy. Finding which files correspond to which enemies is a nightmare in and of itself. Then, we need to check if those health parameters in the files are even read by the game or not. I think this might need to be a mission for another time... &mdash; '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 14:02, 19 January 2019 (EST)
::::Okay. I guess we can keep it the same for now and just focus on filling out the seeds dropped, which is a pretty definite value. There are also more important things to do, like cleaning those articles up, so I guess we should wait a while until we do this.
:::::Agreed! Though... while checking the game files, I could've sworn I found some fields that allow the area developers to override the seeds that an enemy can give... If this value is not definite, then documenting that will be a problem as well. &mdash; '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 14:21, 19 January 2019 (EST)

Sorry for the confusion. I actually posted another message on [[Talk:Piklopedia (Pikmin 2)]] earlier. For the Hermit Crawmad, the glitch I was referring to was the glitch that kills a small Hermit Crawmad when you walk into it while it is petrified. My thoughts when testing this were: "If the glitch works for leaders and Pikmin, then it should probably work for Pikpik Carrots too, since they ''do'' count as Pikmin. There isn't any reason for the glitch not to work in the Piklopedia." {{User:Mariotime315/sig}} 16:42, 7 November 2016 (EST)

==Problem with the notes==


Hi Espyo. I found a difference in [[Notes:Orange Bulborb/olimargc|the notes of the Orange Bulborb]] between the GC and Wii (Europe only) versions of the game. As such, I made [[Notes:Orange Bulborb/olimarwiieu|this]]. I thought it'd work like the notes for the treasures, so I tried putting Notes|olimar=y|olimarwiieu=y|louie=y, but it didn't work. I guess I shouldn't have created this page, but I'm a bit lost as to how I can include those notes in the article. How can I include them while keeping the GC notes? Thanks!

Hello
I was going through the recent changes when I saw one that was highly inappropriate. I checked their other edits and noticed they were either very rude/offensive, and most of all, very untrue. Some pages, like Alph’s, were completely messed up. I’m fixing as many as I can, but there are a lot of stuff wrong. Is there any way that they can be banned? The username is 172.58.56.130.

== Apology for my edit of Infernal Vegetable ==
It was all my fault of editing unnecessary description of Japanese pronunciation. If I may make excuses, that edit was an act according to my conscience.
One day I watched Pikmin live streaming with many Japanese fans and some non-Japanese ones, One poor Japanese fan, Who wanted to tell "Ultra-bitter spray", but cannot speak English at all, chatted its compressed name in Romanization of Japanese (though it doesn't make any sense at all), "niga(bitter)". As you know it's morally evil in English, The atmosphere in that streaming suddenly become freaking out, and had a bad time (of course I explained what it means and told everyone). I remembered that painful memory until I edited [[Infernal Vegetable]], and thought someone will make the same mistake again, I noted. However on second thought, people who should know that are Japanese fan, but not non-Japanese speakers, since non-Japanese speakers don't have chance to even know that Japanese word... After that is exact the same with your editing note.
I apologize you and all editors adding unnecessary description that relates to sensitive area. -[[User:PortableSunset|PortableSunset]] ([[User talk:PortableSunset|talk]]) 09:43, March 18, 2021 (EDT)
:It's all right, don't worry about it. Your story shows that some people are a bit too sensitive. The word is very taboo, but it's not the fault of the Japanese word for "bitter". If a person is using the n-word as it is, they should be careful, and if they are saying it on purpose, that's not good. But if they're just innocently talking about the spray, it's just a coincidence. Either way, I respect that you were worried about any misunderstandings. But thankfully it's not that complex, and we can just keep the Romanization as it is without any issue. &mdash; '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 10:53, March 18, 2021 (EDT)
==Category:Map images, Category:Radar patterns, and Category:Maps==
At the moment, [[:Category:Map images]], [[:Category:Radar patterns]], and [[:Category:Maps]] are very disorganized categories. From what I can tell, [[:Category:Map images]] is a very old category for map-type images, [[:Category:Radar patterns]] is specifically for textures of maps from the radar, and [[:Category:Maps]] is where [[:Template:File info]] places images with the type of Map. There's a lot of overlap in what types of images they cover, particularly in the case of [[:Category:Map images]] and [[:Category:Maps]]. In order to sort out this mess, I propose that [[:Category:Maps]] be merged with [[:Category:Map images]] by editing [[:Template:File info]], and all the radar textures in [[:Category:Map images]] be moved to [[:Category:Radar patterns]] (over time, as there are several), and all the non-maps in [[:Category:Map images]] be removed. Perhaps we could have a category specifically for custom-made diagrams as well. Would this be a good idea? &mdash; [[User:Soprano|'''Soprano''']]<sub>[[User talk:Soprano|''(talk)'']]</sub> 01:33, April 7, 2021 (EDT)
:That sounds like a plan to me. In fact, I'm even thinking the following: Category:Radar patterns for game textures that show any sort of map. Category:User-made maps for anything not official. Category:Maps as the parent category of the last two, and also as the house of any other map-related images. &mdash; '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 14:42, April 9, 2021 (EDT)
::While that would involve changing the categorization of 158 files, I think that's a good plan. Perhaps there could also be a "Category:Location maps" for all the maps that show where a single ship part or treasure is on the radar. &mdash; [[User:Soprano|'''Soprano''']]<sub>[[User talk:Soprano|''(talk)'']]</sub> 17:21, April 9, 2021 (EDT)
:::Hm, I'm not sure that one would be as useful. Though I guess I'm not opposed. &mdash; '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 17:26, April 9, 2021 (EDT)
::::It would reduce the size of the main Maps category by moving many similar images elsewhere &ndash; though I guess {{tem|File info}} would put everything in the Maps category anyway. &mdash; [[User:Soprano|'''Soprano''']]<sub>[[User talk:Soprano|''(talk)'']]</sub> 17:30, April 9, 2021 (EDT)
:::::Good point. Though map uploads are so rare that I think we can afford the risk. If not, we can figure something out later. &mdash; '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 15:55, April 10, 2021 (EDT)
:::Question: If an image goes in one of the subcategories of Category:Maps, should it also go in Category:Maps itself, or just the subcategory? &mdash; [[User:Soprano|'''Soprano''']]<sub>[[User talk:Soprano|''(talk)'']]</sub> 19:18, October 8, 2021 (EDT)
::::Just the sub-category. A page should never be categorized under a category and also one of the parent categories. If it sounds like it should, then maybe the categories themselves are wrong... &mdash; '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 15:54, October 9, 2021 (EDT)
:::::I ask because [[:Template:File info]] categorizes all images with the type of "map" into [[:Category:Maps]], so we'd need to use the nocat parameter if we just wanted it to be in one of the subcategories. &mdash; [[User:Soprano|'''Soprano''']]<sub>[[User talk:Soprano|''(talk)'']]</sub> 17:43, October 9, 2021 (EDT)
::::::Hmm, right. I think the template does that for other things too. I honestly can't figure out the best solution right now, so I guess we just let it happen. At least in the future it'll be easy to fix, since one change in the template instantly recategorizes everything. &mdash; '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 13:17, October 11, 2021 (EDT)
== Re: Redirects ==
Hi Espyo&mdash;sorry about that. On a previous wiki I edited, updating redirect links was something we would try to stay on top of and routinely did, although obviously that was a different wiki, and I probably shouldn't have assumed that the same was done here. Thanks for letting me know. [[User:Milkmancer|Milkmancer]] ([[User talk:Milkmancer|talk]]) 13:28, September 17, 2022 (EDT)
== Source for Takashi Nagasako voicing Captain Charlie? ==
Hey! I was recently browsing the pikipedia and noticed there's a voice actor listed for Charlie. I'd never heard of this before, so I was intrigued! I tried to look for a source in the credits for the game but found nothing. Where did you find this info? Thanks! [[User:Mutaharu|Mutaharu]] ([[User talk:Mutaharu|talk]]) 16:23, January 26, 2023 (EST)
:Hmm, that's pretty weird. I can't find a source for that either. I'm not sure where I got it from, but I know I wouldn't have just made the name up or anything... &mdash; '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 07:09, January 27, 2023 (EST)
== How to report vandalism ==
It is too late at night for me to reliably work out how to make hyperlinks work given my current bout of illness, so forgive the plaintext here, but on the article for " https://www.pikminwiki.com/Glitches_in_Pikmin_3#Hard_to_reproduce ", the link next to the "Hard to reproduce" entry for "By changing from a leader that is in the Sandbelching Meerslug's fight to a leader that is elsewhere just before the boss is defeated, the game may show the defeat cutscene with the camera underground, and may then lock up. " has been edited at some point to link to a clip of an unrelated Joe Rogan podcast. I am uncertain how to revert the page to the relevant prior version, especially since the edit history seems to show a lock was placed on the page just yesterday, presumably due to other vandalism which was caught. [[User:Amnesiacjournal|Amnesiacjournal]] ([[User talk:Amnesiacjournal|talk]]) 01:18, February 19, 2023 (EST)
:You can just report vandalism to my user talk page like you did here. You can also undo the vandalism and I'll eventually catch it in the recent changes. If it's urgent, you can find me on the Pikcord Discord server. Now, as for that video in particular...looks like that was me :P I remember laughing hard at it back then, so I must've copy-pasted the URL to share with other people, then went to copy-paste the glitch video to put on the wiki but the "copy" part must've failed. Anyway I was able to find the intended video, so I've fixed the page. That said, I can't find any lock on the page whatsoever. &mdash; '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 10:14, February 19, 2023 (EST)
:Ah, gotcha. I read in the page-change history that a lock had been added, but it was an update summary message I didn't want to test in the state I was in, as to avoid gumming up the works. Thank you for the clarification, we've all had clipboard mistakes before. [[User:Amnesiacjournal|Amnesiacjournal]] ([[User talk:Amnesiacjournal|talk]]) 15:24, February 19, 2023 (EST)
== A question about Pikcross ==
Hello! On the April Fool's article, it says you're the programmer for the Pikcross April Fool's game, so I figure you're probably best suited to answer this question. I come asking on behalf of the Mario Wiki if it would be fine to use the Pikcross source code for an upcoming community event, as there's plans to include Picross puzzles as part of it, and the Pikcross game engine more than meets the requirements for having an in-browser Picross engine. This would be a modified version of Pikcross, hosting its own puzzles and presumably hosting its own graphics as well, but using the pre-existing code as a basis for it.
I figured since the source code is freely linked in the article itself, it's probably alright, but I wanted to ask just in case there's any problems with attribution or what-have-you. [[User:Camwoodstock|Camwoodstock]] ([[User talk:Camwoodstock|talk]]) 14:46, April 28, 2023 (EDT)
:Hey. I never gave the code a license, so it befalls under the wiki's standard CC BY SA 3.0. Even if I did bother to add a license I'd probably pick that. So just be sure to give proper attribution, and knock yourself out! The engine is slightly glitchy here and there, since I never had time to iron out the kinks, but it should be pretty well-documented and organized. If you come up with any improvements, please let me know so I can backport them to Pikcross. &mdash; '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 10:35, April 29, 2023 (EDT)
== the Vanilla sees ==
Yeah, I can understand that, but having those sections labeled as No would be kinda implying that those abilities aren't in the game which would be misleading. hence why I added links to the relevent articles (which took me awhile to figure out how to do). was kinda meant to be more accurate then possibly implying said abilities debuted in 4 with the upgrade.[[User:Pikmin Theories|Pikmin Theories]] ([[User talk:Pikmin Theories|talk]]) 20:21, August 21, 2023 (EDT)
:Then I'd say that, in the table, the way we describe "same but different-named" abilities, or the way you want to describe "it's a vanilla feature", or both, has to change. Can't quite think of the best way off the top of my head. &mdash; '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 11:06, August 22, 2023 (EDT)
::Only thing I can think of is adding like a cite I think? (little number like  a squared) or an asterisc, I think that's what it's called * saying it's a basic feauture in said games. Though I dunno, without reference to what said ability is feels worse somehow..... [[User:Pikmin Theories|Pikmin Theories]] ([[User talk:Pikmin Theories|talk]]) 23:20, August 27, 2023 (EDT)
:::We can well document both things in the table. I think the only problem might be to find text that's short enough. "No, but a similar upgrade called '''X''' exists" and "No, but the feature exists by default" work to document the table well, but they're both very long. &mdash; '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 04:03, August 29, 2023 (EDT)
Dunno if it'd be possible or how it'd be done, but what about having the No, but have the No be clickable to link to the proper page/sections? [[User:Pikmin Theories|Pikmin Theories]] ([[User talk:Pikmin Theories|talk]]) 03:42, November 16, 2023 (EST)
==Rename==
Apparently, you can also rename here? I'll suppose its like as in Pikmin Fanon? {{User:Blower Pot/sig}}
:I don't get what you mean... &mdash; '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 12:10, March 3, 2024 (EST)
::I meant the rename log, so apparently this wiki has a rename thing? I saw there many users on this log, which their user pages were renamed to another title by... You? {{User:Blower Pot/sig}}
:::Yes, users can request to have their username changed, so those logs are probably what you are seeing. &mdash; '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 17:32, March 3, 2024 (EST)
Yep, that was why I said "I'll suppose its like as in Pikmin Fanon", which I was asking if the way to requestion like from Pikmin Fanon, of requesting on their userpage. If so, then I would choose to me to be renamed to "Blower Pot", following my Pikmin Fanon rename? {{User:Blower Pot/sig}}
