I absolutely agree that this article should be split. But how would it be done? Would it be split by game (which would be easier and produce less articles, but would make comparison harder) or by type of menu (giving many articles with cross-game information)? - [[User:Botanist|Botanist]] ([[User talk:Botanist|talk]]) 18:23, September 25, 2020 (EDT) | I absolutely agree that this article should be split.

:I don't think it would make sense to split by game, not only because like you said, it would make comparisons harder, but it would also repeat a ''lot'' of information. Having to explain how the Onion menu works three different times doesn't sound like a good idea. Splitting by type is probably the way to go, but it shouldn't be one article per menu. Off the top of my head, I think we could split between common external menus (title screen, options), common in-game menus (radar, Onion), and those game-specific menus (Piklopedia, voyage logs). — '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 10:04, September 27, 2020 (EDT) | |||

Split
This article is pretty big. Some of the sections here have a lot of info, and could probably work well being their own articles. In fact, I feel some of these sections could be expanded further, but just haven't yet out of fear of bloating the article. We can wait for the next game's release to decide if stuff like the save file selection, area selection, etc. should be independent articles or not. — {EspyoT} 15:25, 23 January 2017 (EST)
Yeah, this is pretty extensive. Upon release of Pikmin 4, this page is gonna be huge. Perhaps making an article for major menus and minor ones would be a better way of distributing this info. V64 (talk) 15:11, 26 February 2019 (EST)
- We still need to document P3's and HP's menus. We may need to start splitting even before P4 when we're done! — {EspyoT} 16:24, 26 February 2019 (EST)
