==Locking==
==Featured Article==
GP, do you think it's possible if you can lock this wiki from further editing by anons? For the past week, we've got nothing but spam and it's really annoying for everyone. They also create pages with sexual content in other languages and it takes a while for those to be deleted since there is usually no one on. It's also not a hassle to create an account. If they want to edit here so badly, they can. --{{User:Gamefreak75/Sig}}
We really need to change the featured article. Waterwraith has been the featured article since March 24th. {{User:Volatile Dweevil/Sig}}


:Well, I don't know about Greenpickle, but I check the [[Special:RecentChanges|Recent Changes]] every day, and anon edits catch my eye. Even if it's on pages that are rarely used, they're caught pretty quickly. As for blocking anon edits, remember that that also means that some typos or small stuff may be left unaltered. For instance, if I'm browsing a wiki and notice a typo, I'll edit the page and the change it. If, however, anon edits are disabled, I will not create an account just for a typo. The current spam edits aren't too bothersome, so I vote for leaving anon edits on, for now. If things get out of hand, I guess we could block them.

:...We do indeed. There are no nominated ones ATM, but the list at the top of [[Pikmin talk:Featured articles/nominations|here]] might be useful. Try to get a discussion going on that page, or nominate one.{{User:Greenpickle/sig}}


::I guess so. --{{User:Gamefreak75/Sig}}

You're a freaking genius! That looks amazing. I don't see a problem with that skin, to be honest. I think the fountain is unimportant, but if you find someway to implement it, that's be great.


:::I'm with Espyo. Wikis are about openness: look at the amount of anon. vandalism Wikipedia gets.  And I'm not sure where you're getting the data to back up your claim from: [{{fullurl:Special:RecentChanges|days=7|hideliu=1}} anon. edits in last 7 days] (I tried to get the edits starting from when you asked, but apparently MW has a bug or something.  I see 4 bad edits (2 unintentional) and 4 good edits, not counting Snakeboss's when logged out.
(P.S. I was in Vegas from the 26th to the 29th so sorry for the late response).

:::The only thing that really, ''really'' makes me confused is that these spam edits don't make any sense. Advertising onto a website makes perfect sense.

I hope everyone is fine that I locked the "Talk:Queen Candypop Bud" page from anon edits for a week. No one had edited it since 2009 before the spam, and right now it's the only page being consistently spammed. {{User:Volatile Dweevil/Sig}}

::I see. If I recall correctly, I had a similar problem in Carmageddon Wikia. I'll try to find out what I did to fix it.
::It is possible that poison is denser than air, which would explain it's habit to stay close to the ground. However, it probably wouldn't block the airways and lungs of the Pikmin. I think that the White Pikmin have the organs necessary to filter out the poison. As for the quick reaction, plenty of poisons in the world have extremely quick kill times. One breath of Ammonia+Bleach, for example, will cause wooziness. Two can knock you out. Four is death.[[User:Pikdude|Pikdude]] 07:36, 27 September 2010 (EDT)

I counted the images, there are 84, whereas the Piklopedia entries only go to 81, which I'm guessing means it is completed.

==Volatile Dweevil's Inter-wiki Rally==
Note:Credit to this "speech" goes to the user [[User:Rocket Racer|Rocket Racer]]


==Hi==
''"Rebellion is nigh..."'' This sounds like the opening to a story or film, but this is what is happening at wikia right now. Even as we speak, wikia is developing '''a new mandatory skin style for ALL WIKIS'''. There are few ways to thwart them, but thwart them we must. I request your aid in my dangerous quest by asking you to post a message on the Media Wiki Site Message page in red, '''bold''' letters advising all users that we are in a code red situation and we must message wikia '''Every time we log on''' with the contact button on the bottom of normal articles telling them '''which wikis we want to keep Monaco on'''. We could also make petitions, but persistent messaging will most certainly work, this method has worked several times for persistent parents around the globe who want to get their high schoolers into a certain class, and I believe it will work now. If just one user does this, than wikia can block them, but if '''whole wikis''' do this, they will have a flooded server of unhappy emails and will be forced to eventually comply. If they shut off the messaging system than we will post on the staff members' talk pages, which will become equally crowded and they will be forced to comply. Trust me on this one, it will work. In the meantime, create a backup Monaco.css just in case they delete it.
:Me Jello Rabbit. Seeing that there are no active bureaucrats on the Pikmin Wikia can I become a sysop there. Thank you -Jello Rabbit from Wikia.


::...Don't feel like editing here instead?
Your fellow user, {{User:Volatile Dweevil/Vol2}}


::...Wait, you know you have a total of 11 edits there, right? <span style="font-family:times;">'''''[[User:Greenpickle|<span style="color:#080;">G</span>]][[User talk:Greenpickle|<span style="color:#050;">P</span>]]'''''</span>
:Saw Wikia's announcement already. I hate Monaco and have nothing against this change. As long as it reduces the ridiculous amount of JavaScript and other bloat on pages, I'm happy.


:::Yeah, but someone has to still help the wiki and guard it from spam and vandalism. jello Rabbit. And I might edit here if I have some time willing to fo it.
:Other changes Wikia's made and will continue to make, though, I'm not so happy about. But of course, you need to realise Wikia is for-profit: they believe the changes they make will attract more users (new features, supposedly better for search engines (which is silly considering Wikipedia's skin and search engine rankings)), so they'll make more money from adverts. They're not going to listen to the vocal, long-term users who are, in all honesty, in the minority. Many changes make things easier for first-time editors; most of those that don't edit at all will love the new style, I'm sure.


::::Well, I don't see why not. Done. <span style="font-family:times;">'''''[[User:Greenpickle|<span style="color:#080;">G</span>]][[User talk:Greenpickle|<span style="color:#050;">P</span>]]'''''</span>
:So, you see, they're not going to listen to this. Besides, it's not the way to go about it: is there really nothing about the change you like? Instead, why not encourage everyone to work out what they really want from a skin, and submit that constructive criticism rather than the unintelligent approach you pasted here?


:::::Me, Jello Rabbit. My sysop powers on Pikmin Wikia is great! I am taking care of it seeing of the move here. Do you think that is great? [[User:Jello Rabbit|Jello Rabbit]] 07:35, 7 May 2011 (EDT)
:Anyway, it's clear enough the best solution, considering how long it's been going downhill here, is to move wikis away, make them independent. It works: look at [http://www.niwanetwork.org NIWA]: the more established wikis there top the Wikia alternatives in search engines, and the newer ones aren't far behind.

== Badges ==
==Hi==
Hi Green, I'm Blueflower999. I just joined the independent Pikipedia today. I noticed that a lot of the users have badges on their user page that says something like, "This user speaks fluent Leet" or, "This user likes Breadbugs". Can you show me how to make them? [[User:Blueflower999|Bulbear! Blueflower999]] 09:51, 20 July 2011 (EDT)
Oh, by the way, Pikmin Fanon is moving to pikminwiki.com. If users of Pikipedia want to move with Pikmin Fanon, we could split it into sub-domains or integrate the wikis, though I'm guessing if other users of Pikipedia want to move, they'll want separate sub-domains. Please give me your opinion on this green. {{User:Volatile Dweevil/Vol2}}
 
:The easiest way is to use [[Template:Userbox]]; see [[Help:Editing#Templates and inclusions]] for how to use templates.  You can also try [[:Category:Pikipedia userboxes]] for examples (edit them to see what code goes into them), but I don't think many, if any, use the template.  Of course, you can just use any of those examples yourself as well, by transcluding them (''<nowiki>{{namespace:page name}}</nowiki>'').

== About your "Pikmin Weights" section ==
 
I remember wondering that too, as I played Pikmin 2 the Ship stated that Yellow Pikmin are "light" and "nimble". My guess is that the yellow Pikmin's ear acts as a sort of wing, or air catcher so it glides higher. I know that isn't right because the Pikmin "roll" in the air, but Nintendo didn't intend for the game to be exactly right. {{User:Peanut64/sig}}
 
== No more Wikia pain!! ==

}
