lol, i believe i found "The President"'s name [http://www.cheatcc.com/gc/pikmin2.html]--Pikmin fan 101 (PC not letting me sigh in)

it says his name is "Shyacho" lol...i dunno if its true or not--fan

:From our article, he ''is called "Shacho" in the Japanese version (which is Japanese for President)''.{{User:Greenpickle/sig}}

::Anyway, he says "Shacho" in game if you switch to him instead of "President".--{{User:Gamefreak75/Sig}}

:change name to shyacho? Also, if it is not letting you sign in, open the sign in link into a new window. seems to work for me.

::No; this is the English Pikmin wiki.{{User:Greenpickle/sig}}

:::No; I meant where we reference he is AKA shacho, should we change that to shyacho? {{User:IAMAHIPO ocolor/sig}} 01:55, December 3, 2009 (UTC)

::::...Do you seriously think that it's "Shyacho" because of ''something on Cheat Code Central''? [[User:Miles.|Miles.]] 02:16, December 3, 2009 (UTC)

:::::Oh lawd I lol'd. I didn't know that it was that sight... I never clicked the link. [[Special:Contributions/68.39.16.71|68.39.16.71]] 23:45, December 3, 2009 (UTC)

:::No, because that's only an English approximation of the Japanese.  In the game code he's called 'syatyou'.{{User:Greenpickle/sig}}

== Cool Wiki ==
Hello, I am founder of [[w:Communipedia]] and I think that the way that Pikipedia has the page contents box and sidebar and I like the way the links are green, can you please tell me how you did what you did?--<big>[[User:Pikapi|<font color="teal">PiKaPi</font>]]</big> [[User_talk:Pikapi|<font color="blue">''talk''</font>]] <font color="blue">''blog''</font> 20:06, December 2, 2009 (UTC)

==Monobook thing==
You know how you made the Purple Pikmin and White Pikmin transparent in the background of the wikii. Can you show me how to do it so I can use it on Kirby Wiki.--{{User:Gamefreak75/Sig}}

:What I did was put the image on ''body'', then put a copy of the image that's lighter on ''#content''.  Here's the code to make it clearer (contains the image links):

<pre>body {background: url(http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/pikmin/images/3/3f/BG.png) no-repeat right fixed;}
#content {background: url(http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/pikmin/images/6/67/BG_contentarea.png) right fixed no-repeat;}</pre>

However, a more elegant way I've learned since would be:

<pre>body {background: url(http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/pikmin/images/3/3f/BG.png) no-repeat right fixed;}
#content {background: url(http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/pikmin/images/6/67/BG_contentarea.png) right fixed no-repeat; background: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.8);}</pre>

Then it falls back to the two images on browsers that don't support background alpha, and only loads one background for browsers that do.  In fact...*fixes skin*.  Just change the URLs and the 0.8 (the transparency) to suit you.{{User:Greenpickle/sig}}

''url(http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/'''pikmin'''/images/<u>3/3f/BG.png</u>) no-repeat right fixed;}<br />
''&#35;content {background: url(http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/'''pikmin'''/<u>images/6/67/BG_contentarea.png</u>) right fixed no-repeat; background: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.8);}''

So I change the bolded into ''kirby'', but what do I change the underlined ones into?--{{User:Gamefreak75/Sig}}

:Just change the whole URL to the URL of the image you're using.  For the second image, take the first one and make it translucent (the same amount as what you change the 0.8 to, ie. that's 80%), then add a white background behind.{{User:Greenpickle/sig}}

::I get it, but how do I access it? If it's in ''Special Pages'' where do I go exactly?--{{User:Gamefreak75/Sig}}--{{User:Gamefreak75/Sig}}

:::Special pages?  We're talking about an image, no?  Just click on the image until you get to the actual image, then copy the URL.{{User:Greenpickle/sig}}

::::No, the monobook crap.--{{User:Gamefreak75/Sig}}

:::::But you were asking about changing the image URL...  Um, are you looking for the page to put it on?  Mediawiki:Monobook.css?{{User:Greenpickle/sig}}

::::::Yeah that's the stupid thing. How do I access it? You're the only that seems to be experienced in that field.--{{User:Gamefreak75/Sig}}

:::::::Just put that in the URL, or search box, or however you'd normally get to a page.  Or click [[w:c:kirby:Mediawiki:Monobook.css]].{{User:Greenpickle/sig}}

I'm sorry for "badly" moving a page I just thought it should be under "Pikmin (Species)" I read the talk page about it where one person pointed out Pikmin are a sub-species (ex.

:''Posted 11/3/2009 1:13:04 AM''
:''The challenge isn't meant to be the time, it's meant to be getting through with few Pikmin losses. And the way the game counts Pikmin losses and time and days spent is clearly an indication we're meant to impose our own limits on ourselves if we want more of a challenge. Moreover, any time limit they set will be far from difficult (see Pikmin; I never took more than half the time you get); it's much better to do things like implement unlockables for beating the game quickly or with few/no losses.''

:It needs a hard story mode, harder enemies, etc.

:''That, yes, but the difficulty shouldn't come from time limits. More challenging puzzles would be nice too, maybe a load of much more difficult optional stuff like you get in Zelda games, so pretty much anyone can finish the game, but completing it 100% is much harder.''

[[Shearwig]] and [[Male Sheargrub]] are different in that one uses official artwork as the main image. I know we've had an argument over this before, but which do you prefer? Either is fine, but if you choose to have the official artwork as the main image, I can get to work. If you say screenshots should be there, then I'll fix articles that aren't applicants to that. :) <span style="border:2px outset blue;background-color:black;-moz-border-radius:1px">'''[[User:Blue Ninjakoopa|<span style="color:blue;">Blue</span>]] [[User talk:Blue Ninjakoopa|<span style="color:blue">Ninjakoopa</span>]]'''</span> 00:38, February 6, 2010 (UTC)

:Well, kind of use the screenshot unless it's not very good. These cases are sort of borderline, IMO, since these creatures are so small it's hard to get good screenshots. I don't think every page needs to have the same image style in the infobox; it's not really much of an inconsistency. And sometimes the concept art just looks far too fake, in which case a screenshot is better even if it's not of great quality. This is a pretty subjective thing, really, and it's hard to make rules that are easy to follow.{{User:Greenpickle/sig}}

::Get some editing software, take the screenshot, and white out the background, then oost the quality. That is the official screenshots you get.

::Th-... that is very unorganized. Something needs to be done about that.

:::Um, basically, when the wiki needs a new admin, we set up an application process and vote for one. The way other wikis do it, allowing people to become admins at any time if they're deemed capable regardless of whether there's a need for a new one, they end up with loads, which is just silly. For rollback, just ask on a forum page or an admin's talk; it couldn't be simpler. Though, in the past, rollback has just been given to people who've been reverting a lot and can clearly be trusted, without them asking.{{User:Greenpickle/sig}}

::::Your second sentence is invalid and completely untrue; at other organized Wikias, we set up requests for adminship as a project page. People sign under support or oppose and after an amount of time, the RfA is either passed or failed, and the one requesting the powers is informed of the results. The way you're making users admins, I admit, is ''similar'', but not standard procedure, and highly discouraged. It's also unorthodox. Giving one powers based on what they do is not recommended and often discouraged as well. I asked you (the creator) because I would like to request rollback, but I can not find the project page. My intentions are only to help out, but with your way of running this place, there will need to be a few changes; the main change being how [[User:Gamefreak75|certain users]] handle IP address vandals. <span style="border:2px outset blue;background-color:black;-moz-border-radius:1px">'''[[User:Blue Ninjakoopa|<span style="color:blue;">Blue</span>]] [[User talk:Blue Ninjakoopa|<span style="color:blue">Ninjakoopa</span>]]'''</span> 20:26, February 15, 2010 (UTC)

:::::What about my second sentence is untrue? You just said that at other wikis, people request adminship, others vote, and they are given or rejected the position; as such, you could quite easily end up with too many admins. Who discourages the way it's done here? You say powers should not be given based on what people do - then what are the votes people at other wikis make on your RfA pages based on? What else is there to base it on? Edits are the only contact on wikis, and as such there's no other means by which users can be judged suitable or unsuitable of a position.

:::::You want to request rollback, then request rollback. You still haven't done so.

:::::Not every wiki must treat everything in the exact same manner. Wikis are communities that set up their own standards their own rules, their own ideas of what is orthodox and what is not. If you want to suggest a different manner of doing things, don't talk about other wikis, talk about the advantages and disadvantages, something beyond 'your way bad, my way good'.

:::::Oh, and I'm not 'the creator' by any means, just an admin.

:::::Personally, I don't think calling anonymous vandals 'stupid' is necessarily a problem, but if you have an issue with someone else, confront them rather than talking behind their back. GameFreak's a good user; he'll listen if you present it as a friendly suggestion. To be honest, I think CL's just a bit contagious.{{User:Greenpickle/sig}}
::::::''Response to your first paragraph'' - You've misread the context of my words, obviously. The RfAs aren't always passed, and it's not like ''any'' user can request powers. The requester has to have a good understanding of the policies, made a decent amount of good faith edits to articles (be them reverts or just adding to the article), and no record of trolling/asshattery/vandalism. You can base your votes for a user requesting rollback/adminship/bureaucracy off of his/her contributions and activity. You're all just using your opinions, which is '''discouraged''' by Wikia, along with other wikia sites.
::::::''Response to your second paragraph'' - I will need your permission to make the project page, first.
::::::''Response to your third paragraph'' - Calling someone "stupid" classifies as a personal attack, in which the caller of the name has intentions on degrading his/her targets intelligence. You not having a problem with that is actually quite disturbing, to be frank. I don't need to confront Gamefreak about his behavior; I'm not his mother, and I'm not "talking about him behind his back"; I simply alerted you of how he treats IP vandals.

::::::::I do understand how it works; I said, 'if they're deemed capable'; and 'and they are given or rejected the position'. Of course not everyone becomes an admin, but it's possible for many to. Look at Wikitroid and Mariowiki. And look at the vote page GameFreak linked to, where I pointed out users' contributions (that being ''what they do'', incidentally) and included links to them for each candidate.

::::::::What do you mean by 'using opinions' in this context? How can a vote be anything but a poll of users' opinions? If the answer's fact, there's no point in having a vote, since there's a right answer; if there is no right answer, opinions are a necessity. Maybe I'm not understanding what you're complaining about here.

::::::::I said that to ask for rollback, ask an admin or create a forum page. Is there a particular need for it at the moment? Are you reverting much vandalism I'm not seeing in the RC? However, if you ask, I see no reason to doubt your responsibility enough to say no.

::::::::When I said it's not a problem, I don't mean I find it fine, I mean I don't see it as much of an issue. I don't think many anonymous users are going to come back and check what's on their talk page and do something because of it anyway. What are your reasons for thinking insulting a vandal is going to be detrimental to the operation of the wiki? And bear in mind that some people find it just as much of a personal attack when someone sort-of insults them, in a roundabout way. ''You've misread the context of my words, obviously.'' Does that not degrade my intelligence in a similar fashion?{{User:Greenpickle/sig}}
:::::::::<small>[edit conflict]</small>
:::::::::''Paragraph 1'' - No red herrings, please; we're talking about '''this''' wikia, not those.
:::::::::''Paragraph 2'' - The vote is not ''supposed'' to be an opinion, Greenpickle. You can wish one user the worst and still, you wouldn't be in the right to vote against his request. For the second time, ''votes for adminship/rollback/bureaucracy are based on the requesting user's contributions, understanding of policies, and absent history of vandalism/trolling/asshattery.''
:::::::::''Paragraph 3'' - A forum; are you serious? I can't request adminship by making a forum, Greenpickle. I need to make the project page, so that if my RfR passes/fails, it can be moved to an archive and everything won't be out of order. It's '''your''' job as the creator of this place to make these pages, but you've yet to do such.
:::::::::''Paragraph 4'' - About you believing that personal attacks aren't much of a deal when it comes to productivity: any IP address can report his mistreatment to Wikia, and when he does, you will be in trouble for not handling the situation. The main factor is that '''personal attacks are not (shouldn't be, in this case) allowed'''. Common sense should tell you that calling a vandal "stupid" or an "idiot" is a complete waste of time, and it, in turn, shows asshattery. In response to you again misreading the context of my message of which I told you that you misread the context of my message: I'm not calling you stupid; I'm pointing out to you that you did not comprehend the meaning of my words, and responded to them in a manner that had shown such. <span style="border:2px outset blue;background-color:black;-moz-border-radius:1px">'''[[User:Blue Ninjakoopa|<span style="color:blue;">Blue</span>]] [[User talk:Blue Ninjakoopa|<span style="color:blue">Ninjakoopa</span>]]'''</span> 21:47, February 15, 2010 (UTC)

::::::::Sorry, but you're reading what I say, right? And what you say? I'll respond to the one point I haven't already answered: rollback != adminship. Rollback is nothing. Why do we need to keep track of exactly why someone was (not) given the ability to revert edits more quickly? What is wrong with a forum page? Forum pages are community pages, and part of the wiki as much as any other part. If you won't understand that what's standard elsewhere ''need not'' be standard ''here'', I can't help.{{User:Greenpickle/sig}}
:::::::::Actually, rollback ''isn't'' the same as adminship. It ''isn't'' "nothing"; rollback is a faster way to fight vandalism, and that's that. Calling it useless is like telling me that I don't have fingers, in which case I wouldn't be typing this message. If we lose track, everything will go out of order. It's amazing how you think the way you run this place is ideal, when there are so many flaws to it. The purpose of a forum is to discuss a topic; they aren't supposed to be used for RfA/R/Bs. Actually you can, by introducing policies and project pages.

::::::::'!=' means 'is not equal to'. ''You've misread the context of my words, obviously.'' You implied rollback is adminship (''I can't request adminship by making a forum, Greenpickle.

Actually, I didn't imply that; you... instead of saying it again, I'll move on to responding to the next portion of your first paragraph. When did I say you'd need a bunch of project pages for requesting rollback? All you need to do is make a '''single''' RfR page. Users will request, the requests being under each other, and when the page is cluttered, archive the succeeded/failed RfRs and post the links to those archives on the page, to notify the users of where they are.

::Okay, I'm sorry, I made an asshat of myself. Let's end the conversation of Gamefreak V.S. IPs please.--{{User:Gamefreak75/Sig}}

Basically, I'm against RfA/RfR pages being made, for the reasons I've said. We don't need more admins without increased activity, certainly never will need a constant inflow of them unless Pikmin 3 is hugely popular; and rollback just isn't so big a deal that we need all that...officialness about it. Ask others if you want, I guess, but Prez is against them too, and I can't see CL making it easier for more people to become sysops (not that I'm suggesting admins' opinions are worth more than others'...).{{User:Greenpickle/sig}}
:Yes, as Green said, I'm also against the project pages. The community is so small that the admins will enact the actions necessary at the time a new moderator is needed. Having pages in which people can nominate themselves at all times is fairly useless, as there is just no need for further sysops, and it adds unnecessary work. As for rollback: anyone who would qualify for getting the rights must be capable enough to know that he can simply ask a mod for them.--{{User:Prezintenden/sig}}
:''Greenpickle'' - Assumptions... hm. Very well; this ''is'' '''your''' Wiki, and I guess I'll need to go along with the flow of things. I will first request rollback, provided you show me exactly how that is done (unless I just need to ask you to grant me such abilities). I know I will need to make a forum page, but I'm unsure of the title and how to set the page up. <span style="border:2px outset blue;background-color:black;-moz-border-radius:1px">'''[[User:Blue Ninjakoopa|<span style="color:blue;">Blue</span>]] [[User talk:Blue Ninjakoopa|<span style="color:blue">Ninjakoopa</span>]]'''</span> 22:59, February 16, 2010 (UTC)

::By no means does this Wiki belong to Green, he didn't even create it; he just happens to be a relatively active user with admin powers.
::As for the rollback request: Just plain asking him on his talk page is all that is required, preferably adding why you believe you deserve the rights to that. If you wish to have a forum, then don't worry about formalities, a simple title to the likes of "Request for Rollback for Ninjakoopa" should be enough, and add the info I mentioned. A new forum can be created by entering the name of the new forum into the "Add new topic" bar in [http://pikmin.wikia.com/index.php?title=Forum:Watercooler_%28Pikipedia%29&t=20100111112806 this link].

== Just wondering ==

Why does every jornal entry have its own sub-page? '''Rpwyb'''[[File:Cross.jpg|50px]]'''Obeys the cross'''

:Three reasons:
*To make it harder to edit them. We don't want people to look at them and think they could do with rewording or something.
*To make it really easy to change the formatting of them on every single page. We did this recently: a small edit to one template, and every single one shows up italic and in quotes.
*Some legal thing or something, though I don't think this really matters.{{User:Greenpickle/sig}}

I think those falling water things (...water...falls?) are nice, but put anything more on the page, including the fountain itself, and it might get too graphical - plus, I can't think where to have them.

I could just have the main content area lighter, near the blue-ish colour of the fountaing, but slightly translucent, with the shapes you see on the GBA fountain (also in that last image) tiling down the sides, very faintly.
