== Adminship... again ==
Yes, it seems I was an idiot and lost my password. Either that or I was hacked. So I had to create another account, and I was asking you to give me THE POWER again. [[User:Snakeboss16|Snakeboss16]] 22:05, 21 October 2010 (EDT)

:Greenpickle, check this guy to see if he has the same IP address as Snakeboss. --[[User:Gamefreak75|Gamefreak75]]

::I checked. Snakeboss has never logged in from that IP before. Plus I can't imagine Snakeboss saying something like THE POWER. {{User:Volatile Dweevil/Vol2}}

:::No, but he clearly has a dynamic IP address and the one of this account is a close match to those of the old one.  Of course, without some kind of better proof (this is why people put their public GPG keys on their user pages), we can't just promote this account.

:::What's dynamic IP? {{User:Snakeboss14/sig}}

::::It's what it sounds like.  It just ''means'' an IP that changes.  Many ISPs assign IP addresses dynamically because they only have so many they can allocate, so they need to free them up when some users disconnect - they don't actually have enough to handle every user they have, if they were all online at once. <span style="font-family:times;">'''''[[User:Greenpickle|<span style="color:#080;">G</span>]][[User talk:Greenpickle|<span style="color:#050;">P</span>]]'''''</span>

==Changing the old wikia's name==
Since Wikia doesn't want us to call people to the moved Pikipedia, I suggest changing the old Pikipedia's name to something that indicates that it's outdated and/or abandoned. '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 16:30, 25 October 2010 (EDT)

::I was thinking something like "Pikmin Wikia - The old wiki about Pikmin", but perhaps a bit better. It wouldn't tell users where it has moved to, but it would at least stop them from editing there. Also, naming it Pikmin Wikia could help differentiate between the old and new Pikipedia, but that's not too important.

== Random off-topic pages ==
I was looking through [[Special:WantedPages|WantedPages]], and I found that there are quite a few things that shouldn't be there, especially Halo: Reach. Are pages like this and this meant to be here, or were they accidentally imported when moving from Wikia? --[[pkmn:User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 19:57, 27 October 2010 (EDT)

:Yeah, I noticed that.  They've only appeared in the last few days - actual pages exist too - and a search gives them as being [[wikia:c:halo:127th Regiment|from Halopedia]] (which is odd, 'cause even if they were moving, they're not Nintendo so wouldn't join NIWA).  It's similar to [[Forum:What in the world happened just now?|what happened a few days (?) ago]], but on a smaller scale.

:::Ah, I didn't see that.  While it would be interesting to find out what happens if I delete one (I guess either we'd just lose it, it'd give me an error, or it would actually be deleted from that independent Halopedia too), I don't think it'll be necessary.

What Lylat Wiki did to merge Arwingpedia transfer everything to the Arwingpedia: namespace (edit exported XML file), then merge everything manually from there.  What this can't do is transfer images, though; for that, I could do something, but [http://www.niwanetwork.org/forums/index.php?topic=468.msg8391#msg8391 this] is better because it preserves past versions of the image, and their uploaders.

==Blocking==
Does Pikipedia have a policy on blocking? I'm not quite sure if I should or should not have blocked [[User:Turtwig389|this user]]. Should I have given a warning first? {{User:Volatile Dweevil/Vol2}}

:We don't have a policy, no.  I would say if it's not obviously vandalism, warn them first; and even if it is, and looks more like just seeing if the page will actually change when they edit it, I'll just warn them.  But then, I'm quite lenient.  As I see it, you should only resort to blocking when it's necessary, as blocking a user who means no harm will probably put them off editing, but if a user vandalises again we can always revert it. <span style="font-family:times;">'''''[[User:Greenpickle|<span style="color:#080;">G</span>]][[User talk:Greenpickle|<span style="color:#050;">P</span>]]'''''</span>

==Locking==
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}}

: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)

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

:::I'm with Espyo.  Wikis are about openness: look at the amount of anon. vandalism Wikipedia gets.

== Badges ==
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)

: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>'').

:...Oh, and sorry for taking so long to answer this; I was on holiday for a few days. <span style="font-family:times;">'''''[[User:Greenpickle|<span style="color:#080;">G</span>]][[User talk:Greenpickle|<span style="color:#050;">P</span>]]'''''</span> 16:24, 23 July 2011 (EDT)

== 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!! ==

I found a code that will redirect users from the old Pikipedia on wikia to here. 

<code>
:if ( wgUserGroups === null || typeof( wgUserGroups ) != null && wgUserGroups.join(' ').indexOf( 'staff' ) == -1 && wgUserGroups.join(' ').indexOf( 'helper' ) == -1 && wgUserGroups.join(' ').indexOf( 'vstf' ) == -1 && wgUserGroups.join(' ').indexOf( 'sysop' ) == -1 && wgUserGroups.join(' ').indexOf( 'bureaucrat' ) == -1 ) { window.location = 'http://pikminwiki.com/wiki/' + wgPageName; 
}
</code>
:Put it in Pikmin Wikia's Common.JS and you'll be good to go. {{User:Peanut64/sig}}

::That's pretty awesome, but the guys at Wikia being the children they are, they'd notice traffic drops on that wiki immediately and would find out that script is redirecting users from their crap domain. They'd remove the script and probably ban whoever added the script from Wikia. '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 17:33, 6 August 2011 (EDT)


:::I think Wikia staff don't get redirected, and they don't look at the relatively small wikis usually unless they ask for help.  I doubt they would notice it, they don't seem to have on the wikia Pikmin Fanon.{{User:Sir Pikmin/sig}}

::::When we tried posting message boxes that told people we moved, they quickly noticed it and removed it. You sure they don't care now? If not, then we can put it. Alas, I can't do it either, I edit some Wikias too. Maybe we can create a quick temporary account and add it. If they ban that temp account, there'll be no loss. '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 21:08, 6 August 2011 (EDT)

:::Right, but who cares if you ''do'' get banned? I'm never gonna help wikia again! It's all really their loss. {{User:Peanut64/sig}}

::::Green edits on a couple Wikia wikis it seems, so he may care if he gets banned.{{User:Sir Pikmin/sig}}

:::::Oh, well, It's his decision. A couple of wikis on wikia or more Pikipedia traffic. {{User:Peanut64/sig}}

::::::Link to page and I'll do it. Idk where it is...--{{User:Prezintenden/sig}}
:::::::I would like to point out that Wikia may quite easily spot this conversation if the code is added, then ban the people who have been planning in public here. Besides, if you just create another account, they will find any other accounts which use the same IP very easily, and most proxies are banned already. Not a good idea to do it. --[[pkmn:User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 12:43, 7 August 2011 (EDT)
::::::::Indeed. We could create a new account on a public computer or something, but the fact that this convo is here is still bad. This could all be avoided if they would just stop being so proud of their shameful site. There was even a discussion [http://super-smash-bros.wikia.com/wiki/User_talk:Miles.oppenheimer#Main_Page here] about one of the admins' stubbornness. '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 13:16, 7 August 2011 (EDT)

:::::::::That seems absurd. What right would they have to ban you for just thinking about something? I'd be the one who did it, and I don't plan on using my account there anymore anyway. At the very least they'd have to warn us once, and if they notice it immediately, then there's no use of trying again anyway. Really, I doubt it will cause much harm to anyone.--{{User:Prezintenden/sig}}

::::::::::And just because there is hardly any traffic to the old Pikipedia makes it all the more easy, like for instance, Pikmin Fanon has that code, and I put it on there a while ago. They are too busy with the wikia wikis that matter to even notice. Just put the code at the end of the Common.js on Wikia Pikipedia, simple. {{User:Peanut64/sig}}

I... Don't think it worked. It's redirecting me to Special:WikiActivity. /coding extraordinaire  --{{User:Prezintenden/sig}}

I added the code to common.js AND common.css on Pikmin Fanon. Btw, try to get on http://pikminfanon.wikia.com {{User:Peanut64/sig}}

PS: I would add it to as much as I could if I were you, as that's what I did on Pikmin Fanon, and it works. Oh and you have to log out to get redirected, because of you being a admin or bureaucrat. {{User:Peanut64/sig}}

:It worked the first time I went on fanon, but when I went again in a new tab it stayed on the wikia site. Bleh. Does it work for anyone else? I'll leave it just to see how the staff reacts, anyway.--{{User:Prezintenden/sig}}

Ok, it works for the most part. {{User:Peanut64/sig}}

:Not working for me. Also, common.css is a stylesheet file. common.js is a script file. That function is a Javascript function. So... Adding that to common.css is completely pointless, heh. '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 21:05, 7 August 2011 (EDT)
