Pikipedia talk:Current projects

How's this? It could be used to synchronise projects across the wiki, and anyone coming here could find out what there is to do if we put a link to this in the sidebar (use Mediawiki:Sidebar) and Main Page somewhere. And I'm also thinking about vastly improving the Pikmin:Community Portal.GP

There is one more space left anyway, which would even make it look better. Would I be right if I said we merely have to add ** currentprojects-url|currentprojects? And what would you want to change on the Community Portal?--Prezintenden

Oops, didn't see your reply here before. No, you add the proper link with capitalisation and stuff as it's not built into MediaWiki as a codeword like the others are. I added it. And for the Community Portal, I think it needs colour and borders for sections like on other Wikia (pretty much all of them); not sure, it just seems lacking.

Much better or what?GP

Creature's Scientific Names Meanings

I disagree. Most words are invented. Plus, it's rather simple to guess the names, and it's odd to explain jokes such as violinae orchestrus. --Prezintenden

It's probably not worth translating every scientific name, but it might be worth noting for some of the less apparent ones, like Shiropedes ambulatria. I would guess that most of the Pikmin fanbase is fairly young and has little experience with foreign languages and Latin roots (seriously, who uses the word ambulate in day-to-day speech?). —Jimbo Jambo

We seriously need more things to put here. We're running out of projects!GP

I dunno if it's worth putting on the page, but a lot of the treasure and enemy notes have numerous tiny errors (most notably the capitalization of enemy names, but also small typos and slight differences in the phrasing of certain sentences). —Jimbo Jambo

That's just something for Template:Clean, really. And of course, there are stubs and short pages. They could all be added as a note at the bottom, I suppose, sort of an 'Ongoing Projects' section, but that's kind of what Template:Editing is for.GP

Intill pikmin 3 we don't have much new materal ,but we need a Bacopa Cabana(a.k.a. the pikmin flower)--File:Large pixal snowy bulborb.PNGSnowy bulborb

This was old, anyway; there's plenty to do now. And, I have no idea why that's not already an article; I've heard of it and read up on it before.GP

Beta stuff

ok if we can get our hands on more beta stuff like Yellow Bulborb or Dwarf Blue Bulborb we can open some new doors --File:Large pixal snowy bulborb.PNGSnowy bulborb

It is very hard to get beta stuff on what we only see in one picture... ~CrystalLucario~

I has found beta.GP

Yay beta! I'm ~CrystalLucario~ And I approve this message.

Tips

Do any of the admins know how to use the tip-wiget. (I can't, I'm not a admin)--File:Large pixal snowy bulborb.PNGSnowy bulborb

Tip Widget? I'm ~CrystalLucario~ And I approve this message.

Yeah, removed those ages ago, no idea what you were on about. As for the first question, we have to edit this. Right now, I'll just substitute help:contents into it.GP

Indeed... I'm ~CrystalLucario~ And I approve this message.

 I think that I know of some beta stuff. I hear that Pikmin 3 will be more of a war, strategy game than a exploring and finding game. But that's something that is unproven. I will keep you updated.  I am Killcam, Pikmin Master, and I made this message.

Other

Hey... I'm a new user, and there is a glitch concerning the Beady Long Legs that I have come across. On the bottom of the slope in the landing site in Perplexing Pool, A beady long legs fell down. Is this normal, Or should I record this as a glitch? Louie is EEEEVIL! October 28, 2008 10:41

It's totally normal. It drops a bunch of pellets and respawns after like five or more days. I think it's mentioned on the Perplexing Pool article. —Jimbo Jambo

Physiology

RAWR! We should have this section, a place where you could easily find info about the creature. we should delete the other info from the summary, and revise it and add and put it in its own separate section. Argue otherwise, I'm absolutely DYING to hear you. IAMAHIPO_ocolor 14:27, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Absolutely not, I say. Every single article opens with a general description about the subject, and that description is where notes about its physical characteristics and and behavior go; anything additional is most likely mentioned in Olimar's notes, because that's the only place additional information comes from. I'm opposed to the idea of removing the general descriptions, and like I said about the Fiery Blowhogs, that makes a physiology section repetitive and redundant. If these were real-world animals, where they could be studied in-depth and more information could be learned about them, it would be very neat, but since they only exist in a video game which doesn't have a "Dissect-a-Pikmin" feature (hint hint game programmers hint hint), what we can know about them is limited. —Jimbo Jambo

Yeah, that. All wikis have the convention of having the general description of the subject in the first paragraph; anything more specific is in Olimar's notes on this wiki, and anything else we just shouldn't speculate on because it's not knowledge.GP

So, can we revert them then? —Jimbo Jambo

As said, we might get the chance to add this when Pikmin 3's there. But not yet, so revert it.--Prezintenden
