::I think the main issue is that it pretty much can't be approached in a comprehensive, encyclopedic manner. There are practically endless ways to collect items "unintentionally", because Pikmin is a 3D game where you have full control. Relevant is this video released today: [https://youtu.be/aqmcPaEEH6M "How To Beat Pikmin Without Making Pikmin"], where ''everything'' is collected in an unintentional manner. So how deep does the documentation go? Having to decide this means we'd have to omit some information sooner or later, which isn't great for an encyclopedia. So common methods can be discussed on glitch pages, and specific instances on relevant articles. Things which aren't noteworthy enough to be interesting or useful to most play probably don't need to be mentioned at all. Also, we don't document speedrunning routes and techniques, and we have only limited challenge run documentation (which imo should be reworked or removed eventually) for things like low-day runs. Challenge runs are also infinite - they're made up by players - so if a piece of information is only relevant to a Red Pikmin only run, it's probably not worth putting on the wiki, because otherwise with enough time the page would grow out of control. You could move this article to a user subpage, in the manner of [[User:Phineas81707/Pikmin4LowDayChallenges]], if you want to keep documenting this stuff, but it's probably not the best for mainspace.

:::ok then, fine, Let's remove the page. [[User:Mama09001|Mama09001]] ([[User talk:Mama09001|talk]]) 03:25, May 21, 2024 (EDT) | :::ok then, fine, Let's remove the page. [[User:Mama09001|Mama09001]] ([[User talk:Mama09001|talk]]) 03:25, May 21, 2024 (EDT) | ||
::::It doesn't have to be deleted entirely; if you want to keep working on the page, it could be moved to a user subpage, like [[User:Mama09001/Alternate ways to collect items]]. Would you prefer that, or would you prefer it to be deleted? — [[User:Soprano|'''Soprano''']]<sub>[[User talk:Soprano|''(talk)'']]</sub> 04:17, May 21, 2024 (EDT) |
