==Locking==
== Chatroom Admin ==
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}}
 
Hey can I be an chatroom admin or whatever they're called? I've been a loyal user here since the dark age of Pikipedia, have well over 500 edits, and have much more experience than I did before. If that's not enough, I'll continue my work here (which is to correct edits made by n00bs and defend my fellow gamers) albeit with spotty activity.--[[User:Pikdude|Pikdude]] 21:49, 20 September 2010 (EDT)

== Main Page ==
 
Hey! You seem to be the only bureaucrat and I cannot find a suggestions page so I'll say it here. I was wondering, if you look at the [[Main Page]], it is good. But I created a new main page which I think would work better as the main page at [[User:Pikminguy1/Test]]. I think this new main page is a good idea, it contains more information and does not expand the length of the page from what it used to be. It contains all of the knowledge from the former main page (I removed the <nowiki><choose></nowiki> tags however, they were a good idea but they didn't work well...in my opinion, if you want a main page with the choose tags, see [[User:Pikminguy1/Test2]]). Anyways, the key point of my suggested main page is that it contains a new box, "Recent news!". I was originally gonna suggest you add a box without an example but I decided that it is more explanatory to show people that changes that I am talking about, so, [[User:Pikminguy1/Test|this]] and [[User:Pikminguy1/Test2|this]] - do you like either of them? Would you consider making them the current design of the main page? Hope this isn't too long, yours truly, [[User:Pikminguy1|Pikminguy1]] [[User talk:Pikminguy1|(My Talk Page)]].
 
:Hmm, yeah, the option stuff is more a remnant from when we had 3+ things to choose from, so the left column would be a lot longer; and the featured image wasn't in the right column, so it was shorter.  I've removed it.  About a news box, I do understand that most other wikis have them, and we used to, but we just never had any news for long periods of time - now just seems to be quite a busy time, what with the move.  The site notice can cope with everything that does happen sufficiently.  Of course, it's not up to me to decide, and if you still think we should have one, [[Forum:Watercooler|start a topic]]. <span style="font-family:times;">'''''[[User:Greenpickle|<span style="color:#080;">G</span>]][[User talk:Greenpickle|<span style="color:#050;">P</span>]]'''''</span>

Since this seems to be a pressing issue now, I threw together an example of what I was talking about with the text over the flower.

== Wikia is pissed ==
 
GP, take a look at your talk page on the old wiki: http://pikmin.wikia.com/wiki/User_talk:Greenpickle
Essentially, they've written the following:
 
:''Hello,''
 
:''We have noticed the sitenotice and anonnotice are directing people away from using this wiki and make it appear as if this wiki will be closing. We need the community to be aware that they are welcome to stay, and that the wiki will remain open. Community members are welcome to edit here, there or on both. Please change your message to reflect this. Thank you, Sarah@Wikia (Help Forum) (blog) 20:38, October 11, 2010 (UTC)''
 
::''Hi, I'm not sure if you are going to be back to do this, so I'll make the change. Thanks -- Sannse@Wikia (help forum | blog) 23:58, October 11, 2010 (UTC)''
 
They don't want people to leave, but they don't want to change the themes neither! Ah! Do you plan on doing something about the removal of the warning? Do you know already if the wikis at Wikia can be deleted? '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 15:02, 12 October 2010 (EDT)
 
:I've seen it.  I'll come up with some wording that satisfies them.  No, I don't think they can be deleted. <span style="font-family:times;">'''''[[User:Greenpickle|<span style="color:#080;">G</span>]][[User talk:Greenpickle|<span style="color:#050;">P</span>]]'''''</span>
 
Did you here what happened on wikia? Major CSS problem.
 
''"Monaco is currently experiencing some issues in which CSS is being stripped, which causes the pages to look broken. We're working on resolving this issue ASAP and Monaco will not remain looking like this - don't worry."''
 
Heh heh. {{User:Volatile Dweevil/Vol2}}
 
:Heh, even more CSS errors on wikia.


: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. '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 13:50, 7 January 2011 (EST)
:''"There are some issues at the moment with CSS caching, the tech guys are working on it and it should be fixed soon... sorry about this all."''{{User:Volatile Dweevil/Vol2}}


::I guess so. --{{User:Gamefreak75/Sig}}
::Fun.  Well, apparently by 'Please change your message to reflect this.', they meant 'remove all mention of a competing wiki altogether', so I didn't get to re-word it.  Not surprising, I guess...  Edit: oh, just noticed Espyo had the bit at 8:58 in what he quoted, but I saw it between those two and didn't catch it until now. <span style="font-family:times;">'''''[[User:Greenpickle|<span style="color:#080;">G</span>]][[User talk:Greenpickle|<span style="color:#050;">P</span>]]'''''</span>


:::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.

Alright Green,I have a proposal. I say we model all of the enemie "How to Kill" Sections like this:


:I'm starting to notice that the spam is becoming a bit persistent. [[User:Gamefreak75|Gamefreak75]] is doing a good job on it, but it's becoming a bother. Maybe we can block anon edits for a week or so? Didn't that solve spam problems in the past? I'm not sure. '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 19:22, 10 January 2011 (EST)
<pre>==How to Kill==
This section is entitled, "How to Kill", not Killing Strategies or Strategy.


::Hmm...  Iunno, is it that much of a bother?  Give it a few more days; if it gets worse doesn't get much better, maybe then? <span style="font-family:times;">'''''[[User:Greenpickle|<span style="color:#080;">G</span>]][[User talk:Greenpickle|<span style="color:#050;">P</span>]]'''''</span>
===Pikmin===
This section will be on every page. Even if you cant kill the enemy, like Flint Beetles, a way to damage or attack the ememy must be listed.


:::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. Just saying thank you for a page sounds like the work that a child with mental disorders would do. What's the profit in that? Even if the profit is to vandalize, these spam edits nowadays are hardly any bother. It's just a waste of time on the spammer's part. But I suppose we can wait a little longer to see if things calm down a bit. '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 12:57, 12 January 2011 (EST)
===Captains===
This section will show up even if you can't kill and enemy with the Captains.</pre>


::::Yeah, I don't get it either. Maybe they do add a URL, but MW filters it out or something? <span style="font-family:times;">'''''[[User:Greenpickle|<span style="color:#080;">G</span>]][[User talk:Greenpickle|<span style="color:#050;">P</span>]]'''''</span>
Either way, if we decide not to use this model, the Enemy pages nned to be more consistent.

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}}
:We had a thread about this, but it was never resolved. I think "Strategy" is the best option, as that's exactly what it is. As Green pointed out, you're not always killing enemies, such as with Flint Beetles which you even mentioned. {{user:Jimbo Jambo/sig}} 10:12, 15 October 2010 (EDT)

==Old link in a video==
==Edit port==
Huh, just one tiny thing. I've watched some of your YouTube videos, and the one with the <s>[[</s>Wollywog glitch<s>]]</s>, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cr5ye2sX57w has a link to Pikmin ''wikia'' in the description. You should update that. '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 12:16, 25 January 2011 (EST)
Oops, my bad. I'm pretty sure I wanted to port either [http://pikmin.wikia.com/index.php?title=Hole_of_Heroes&diff=prev&oldid=59023 this] or [http://pikmin.wikia.com/index.php?title=Hole_of_Heroes&diff=next&oldid=59023 this]. And seeing as I'm not sure if the info on those edits is appropriate or not, I'd rather leave my port uncorrected.
Also, about [http://www.pikminwiki.com/index.php?title=Easter_eggs_and_glitches&curid=371&diff=56136&oldid=56092 this], the only reason I wrote that otherwise obvious sentence was because... well, ~70% of the additions to that list are completely unorganized. Most of them add new sections, and don't even use <nowiki>===X===</nowiki>. It's like those warnings in rat poison. Nobody would ever think about eating it, but thanks to some people, almost every can of poison and such needs to have an obvious 'don't eat' warning.

== ''Pikmin'' map markers ==


==Enemy notes problem==
I've added them like I said I would... but the wiki hasn't updated the image yet. Also, I'm pretty sure I accidentally chose the wrong textures, so the bubbles are bigger than they should be. This is, however, a good thing, so the markers on the map will be easier to identify. Also, couldn't you obtain the world map without the sunshine effect on the top-left corner? In ''Pikmin'', the sunshine was a different texture. Is it merged with the map background itself in ''Pikmin 2''? '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 17:08, 21 October 2010 (EDT)
There's one small detail that's going wrong with the [[:Template:Notes|notes template]]. That "<nowiki>{{#ifexist:{{PAGENAME}}/reel|===Reel notes===
"<em>{{/reel}}</em>"}}</nowiki> is trying to check for a reel page. However, the wiki still thinks it WANTS the reel page. In other words, check out the [[Special:WantedPages|wanted pages]].

:Actually, I guess that ALL nonexistent pages are being requested. Not just /reel for ''Pikmin 2'' enemies, but /olimar for ''Pikmin'' enemies, as well as a few others. Also, [[User:The_Shadow_Of_Death]] has a link to Runescape on his page, and this user seems to have abandoned the wiki for a while.

: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>'').

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.

Hey Green. In case you didn't notice there's a new user who's been adding weird stuff to the pages. I undid the edits; my guess is he'll keep this bad behaviour up, and if it does, well... {{User:PikFan23/sig}}
Never, mind. They wouldn't use the same pages again. {{User:Volatile Dweevil/Vol2}}
:His only edit that actually made some sense was for the remaining Pikmin type's carrying speed. Which was obvious, but didn't necessarily mean the others' 1.0 speed was implied. They aren't multipliers, we know that much, so they could have different values. But I digress. I can't understand if this is is a vandal that's mixing good-hearted edits in to blend in, or if he's just confused. — '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 04:42, 3 August 2012 (EDT)

== Uploading images ==


==''Sutera cordata''==
Hello, I'm attempting to upload new images to replace older ones (you know, newer versions of the images) but when I tried to, it came up with this message: "A file with this name already exists, and cannot be overwritten. If you still want to upload your file, please go back and use a new name." Can you please remove this restriction in order for me to proceed? --[[User:RAP|RAP]] 00:40, 2 March 2011 (EST)
Did you know that the flower on the Pikmin heads have been confirmed to be based off the flower ''Sutera cordata''?  [[Wikipedia:Sutera cordata|Wikipedia]] has a couple of sources confirming it, but I have stuff to do, and cannot do the big research. Can you please look into it? --[[Special:Contributions/74.105.210.39|74.105.210.39]] 17:56, 5 August 2012 (EDT)

Should we add on the Leader article that, if a leader is disbanded and you leave near an enemy, he will run away of his own accord? I'm only asking here because apparently nobody goes on the Leader talk page. [[User:Los Plagas|Los Plagas]] ([[User talk:Los Plagas|talk]]) 23:57, 30 December 2012 (EST)
:I foresee a possible icon usage here, they are pretty good quality. Maybe for the Enemy templates next to the name above the main image? {{User:Peanut64/sig}}


:I added it, check and see if you wish to change/add something. Feel free to just make simple edits like that. If somebody thinks it's not right, they'll just change it again later; there's no need to ask for permission on these trivial edits.--{{User:Prezintenden/sig}}
::I'm not sure what you (or someone else) did to the original, but the outlines got messed up.  I reuploaded the original (where I found it, anyway) but without bothering to do the rearrangement you (or someone else) did (and it's also a smaller file). Also moved it from PD to fairuse, since whatever the guy who ripped it thinks he can release it as, they're copyrighted sprites from the game.  As for use, that ''could'' work (I'd have to see it) - and maybe they could be useful at [[Piklopedia]], like we did with [[Treasure Hoard]].  How complete is it (no time to check now)? <span style="font-family:times;">'''''[[User:Greenpickle|<span style="color:#080;">G</span>]][[User talk:Greenpickle|<span style="color:#050;">P</span>]]'''''</span>


==Crystal Lucario==
:::Sorry, I'm the one who did the rearrangement. I had a "different original" that was ripped by someone else (that was very messy), and I was doing the best I could to fix it up. As a side note, when I uploaded it on Pikmin Fanon I did not list it as in public domain. I counted the images, there are 84, whereas the Piklopedia entries only go to 81, which I'm guessing means it is completed. Right off I can see that the [[Queen Candypop Bud]] and the [[Glowstem]] are repeats. However many other repeats there are I don't know. {{User:Volatile Dweevil/Vol2}}
By the way Green, is Crystal still active? If not, is he ever coming back? After all, he actually was pretty entertaining, though I'm hesitant to say he was nice. [[User:Los Plagas|Los Plagas]] ([[User talk:Los Plagas|talk]]) 23:18, 4 January 2013 (EST)

::It does seem like a good idea to use them on the [[Piklopedia]] article.

==Chatroom==
:::[http://fanon.pikminwiki.com/User:Peanut64#Enemy_Icons I have all of the enemies separated.] The only problem is that I don't have any bosses and any plants separated, just enemies. But don't worry, I can separate them pretty quickly. About ''where'' we would put them would have to be on the [[Piklopedia]] article on the table right after or before the species name. {{User:Peanut64/sig}}
Whenever I go to the Chatroom, it says that I've been banned from the Chatroom. I haven't said anything bad on the Chatroom, and my account Is completely normal, so I'm wondering why this happened.

==Hi==
: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.


Well, it wasn't me, and the only other people in my house are my parents, and I highly doubt they would not only go on this wiki, which they probably don't even know the URL to, but go to the Chatroom, and impersonate other people. And, again, I doubt they know the usernames to anybody on this wiki. And finally, once again, I am truthful in saying that I didn't do it. -[[User:Los Plagas|Los Plagas]] ([[User talk:Los Plagas|talk]])
::...Don't feel like editing here instead?


:The ban will last for 4 more days. There really isn't any other likely explanation for the fact that this ban is affecting you. It's possible, but ''really'' unlikely, that someone else is doing this and their IP just happened to match what yours is now - but really, there's no way that's the case.  And I guess there's the possibility  someone else has gained unauthorised access to your computer, but you probably would've noticed that. <span style="font-family:times;color:#080">'''''[[User:Greenpickle|G]][[User talk:Greenpickle|<span style="color:#050">P</span>]]'''''</span> 14:43, 6 February 2013 (EST)

The ban has passed, and the Chatroom now works fine. However, a couple minutes ago, I went onto the Chatroom, and one of the users kicked me out once again. I have tried to get back on, but it now says I am banned again. Do I have to wait another four days, maybe more, again? Is there any way you can unblock me? -[[User:Los Plagas|Los Plagas]] ([[User talk:Los Plagas|talk]])
:::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.
