Certain...Quotes and Edits

Why is me commenting I had no idea miles could talk a quote, you couldn't pick one of my better like RADIOACTIVE CHEEZEBURGER, or something on Talk:Pikmin 3...? I'm ~LonelyTurret~ And I approve this message.

'RADIOACTIVE CHEEZEBURGER' isn't really...funny. It's just...capitalised.GP

I wonder if Miles was ever quoted... but for what? "..."-Miles. I'm ~LonelyTurret~ And I approve this message.

In fact, I've got a good one:

(18:39:35) Miles: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/genmessage.php?board=954380&topic=45783400
(18:39:43) Miles: Everyone else is overthinking it. >_>
(18:41:01) Greenpickle: ...you don't think I've seen that topic...?
(18:41:26) Miles: And you're the only other person in here, right?
(18:42:38) Prez left the room (quit: Ping timeout).

hey greenpickle have u seen the latest ONM magazine talking about pikmin 1.5? it has a retarded picture of a purple pikmin with an 8-shaped body and a mouth. Wiki443556 19:19, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

yea, i draw pikmin with an 8-shaped body and no mouth, however, they look live peanuts with special...stuff on their bodies. Also i have stuff for designs.

• Red: has a triangle on it's face, acting as it's nose
• Blue: Complete triangle on it's face, acting as it's gills
• Yellow: Circles on it's head, acting as it's ears
• Purple: Lines on the sides of it's face
• White: Fully colored eyes
• Bulbmin: Oval and pikmin stem on it's back
• Light Blue: Spikes all over it's body, acting as it's icicles surrounding it's body
• Light yellow: an Auroa surrounding it's body, acting as Thunder
• Light red: Fire around it's body
• Dark Blue: A Dark blue auroa surrounding it and has same defenses as a normal blue pikmin
• Dark yellow: A thundercloud above it
• Dark red: Fire on it's hands and feet
• Green: Spikes all over it's face
• Golden: Gold auroa surrounding it's body

hi, you should add a new archive because this talk is getting big.The one and only,Peanut64.

I apologize

For trolling on that forum. My purpose was exactly not to come here and PA/troll Jimbo, but to help Crystal lucario. I hope that you can forgive me, as this kind of behavior is very rare. I will contribute soon, I just need an okay to place the official art within the information boxes, then to give captions below your... high quality snapshots. :3 Blue Ninjakoopa 21:18, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

So you did know I was here... I'm ~LonelyTurret~ And I approve this message.

It's fine, as long as, as you say, it's not frequent behaviour. I hope you can stay around to help. Also, I think the issue with concept art vs. screenshots needs further clarification. I'll start a new forum page and lay down what I believe, and we'll try the discussion again.GP

Thanks Greenpickle!

Template:Tt

Hey this is a new template that I think is cool: <span class="explain" title="{{{2}}}">{{{1}}}</span><noinclude>[[Category:Code templates]]</noinclude> it looks like {{{1}}}. So then you go {{tt|The cake is a lie!|Aw! Mannn!}} and when your mouse is held over The 1st part the second part appears... ZCool huh? It's good for like {{tt|3 feet|1 meter}} etc. I'm ~LonelyTurret~ And I approve this message.

Yeah, just adds the title attribute, so no need for the 'class="explain"' unless you're doing something to style it. I see how it might be useful, but why would people be hovering over the text anyway? Unless the explain class is meant to make it look different, which would be a bit crazy.GP

They would hover over it because it has a dotted underline...? I'm ~LonelyTurret~ And I approve this message.

Yeah, so as I said, the explain class makes it look different. We don't have the CSS here: try it, it won't work. You'd have to get the CSS from wherever you found this, or I could just set a dotted underline if there's no other difference.GP

No idea what a CSS is, you can look if you want, [1] I'm ~LonelyTurret~ And I approve this message.

Ok I see what your saying now but it works on other wikia wikis... I'm ~LonelyTurret~ And I approve this message.

Oh, I see, Wikia already has the CSS for it in main.css; the same would be applied if you used <abbr> or <acronym> tags as well, and they wouldn't require the explain class. Anyway, now that makes sense, I guess it's a decent idea. I can't really think of anywhere it could be used, but yeah, go ahead.GP

Pikipedia:Sandbox *Cough* This work? *Cough* I'm ~LonelyTurret~ And I approve this message.

I figured it out! The Explain thing puts a ? next to the mouse at least on Bulbapedia. I'm ~LonelyTurret~ And I approve this message.

Pikmin Wii

Did you know that Pikmin Wii is out? Or would it be Pikmin 3? Well, anyway, I beat it the day I got it, 19 days. Killer bread bug 72 02:41, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

Yes he knew about New Play Control which is NOT Pikmin 3 I'm not sure about ALL This emphasis BUT what the heck... I'm ~LonelyTurret~ And I approve this message.

Greenpickle i did not try to vandalize.

I did not try to vandalize. On my pikmin2 games, a lot of the titles were different then what you have. After about 45 minutes of editing tiltes of catagories. I saw about 75% of the Treasure's catagories form where they came where wrong from what I put. I did not mean to cause pain. --The Other Gamer 18:14, 6 April 2009 (UTC)The Other Gamer--The Other Gamer 18:14, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

Sound clips

I am the founder of the gaming music wiki at wikia, and I am wondering how they were uploaded. Thank you. The MarioGalaxy2433g5 {talk/contribs/Logs} 22:10, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

I joined the gaming music wiki as soon as I found out about its existence, this would be a good thing for me to know! Portal-Kombat

Well, I think uploading Ogg Vorbis is enabled by default on Wikia, and that's the only media file we can use since it's free. Then, we asked for the OggHandler extension to be installed based on the discussion here, so that it could be played on articles using Java rather than force users to download and play the file with their own media player.GP

I know Ogg is enabled, I meant, how did you get the files? The MarioGalaxy2433g5 {talk/contribs/Logs} 22:58, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

OH, well, threw me off when you asked how they're uploaded, then... Anyway, I record to a DVD using a DVD recorder, then get the audio from that. Prez connects his TV audio output straight to his PC microphone input, and records using Audacity (a free program). This works for the DS and any other handheld system with a headphone output thingy. Not sure what Prez uses (maybe this?), but for this, you can something like this. I found one somewhere in my house, but I've seen them for sale for pretty much nothing.GP

Okay.--

HI

Hey, whats your name in the mariowiki? The same? And also, I want to upload some in-game images. How can I take them with good definition? Snakeboss14

Yeah, the same. And I'm assuming you mean from console, since all Pikmin games are: then the best way to capture would be using a capture card or a DVD recorder. The former can be quite cheap (though of course more expensive ones work better), while DVD recorders cost more than the cheapest capture cards and can be more difficult to get the images from in decent quality if you don't know what you're doing.GP

OK, sorry about the images. I'll upload maybe just one more for my userpage. And by the way, I'm working in the forest navel map. Snakeboss14

Signatures

Hey, GreenPickle, I wanted to ask you something about signatures. I want to make one, but how do you make the letters be inside that kind of....box, like in yours?

And where can I find userboxes? Snakeboss14

Thank you very much. Now I can use my own cool signature! Snake boss14 21:12, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

A Proposal for Thee

Fanon, my wiki. Pikipedia, your wiki.I have a proposal that can help both our wikis. I propose that our wikis become partners. It would be a win-win for everyone. You could send all the people who seem to think Pikipedia needs to have fanon(non-canon) pages to survive during the inter game years to Pikcanon-NOT, which would keep the wiki uncluttered with non-canon things, which would subsequently make Crystal Lucario happy and stop most of his spazing. ( and that would subsequently make everyone else happy) We would benefit by an increase in users, and you would benefit by a decrease in Crystal Lucario-related fighting. We also would like to be able to directly copy canon pages from your wiki on the premises that they would be changed later as to avoid possible copyright issues. Please don't just disregard this message and delete it. What I am proposing could seriously help both our wikis. Please talk this over with the other admins and also with the other users by making a voting topic in the forums over this proposal, as I shall do on my wiki. Ultimately I would like the decision to be everyone here's and not just five or six people. I trust your judgment and I know you will do the right thing for your wiki. SirPikmin,Your Bold Pikmin Knight^{Contributions}

First thing, no-one owns Wikia wikis. Wikia does, technically, I guess, but they belong to the community. And I'm not even the founder here.

If you're just suggesting we put up a few templates directing people to the fanon wiki, then I don't think that constitutes "partnership", but it's a decent idea; in fact, I remember there already being such a notice in one place here already, but I can't find it. Right now, the only place I can think it would make sense to have one is Forum:Watercooler, thought; and maybe Pikipedia:Community Portal or somewhere on the main page in one of the boxes. Or even in the sitenotice, that thing that appears on every page until you dismiss it?

I would expect this just to say something like, If you're looking to find or contribute Pikmin fanfics, fanart or anything else original, please try Pikmin Fanon. And in the forum I linked to, it might be, Although we're not opposed to original Pikmin writings and art being contributed here, you might want to try Pikmin Fanon instead, where you'll find a better audience for it.

As for copying articles from here, I don't see the point, since they're canon, but all Wikia wikis' content is made available under the GFDL, making it completely free, so there are no copyrights involved. You don't have to ask, but I don't see why you would want to.GP

screenshots

you guys have good screenshots on this wiki, can you tell me how you managed that? I'm trying to get images for some gamecube/wii games on a different wiki and this would really help.

--Semajdraehs- any replies to my Talk page 11:57, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

Copying/adapting this reply from a few sections up...

The best way to capture from console games would be using a capture card or a DVD recorder. The former can be quite cheap (though of course more expensive ones work better), while DVD recorders cost more than the cheapest capture cards and can be more difficult to get the images from in decent quality if you don't know what you're doing.GP

Thanks for the help, although I was hoping it was a method that didn't involve spending money. I love wikis, but i'm not forking out 50 quid for some screenshots.

--Semajdraehs- any replies to my Talk page 16:19, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

Is it ok if I make a navigational template for Pikmin 2 Challenge mode levels?

something like Template:Pikmin, but instead of pikmin colours there are names of the levels...

--Semajdraehs- any replies to my Talk page 11:49, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

2P arenas in pikmin 2 spring to mind.

--Semajdraehs- any replies to my Talk page 17:50, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

There: User:Semajdraehs/sandbox, I've added all the names, is there anything that needs changing before I move it to the template page.

Image Edits

Recently, you've been editing lots of images. What exactly do you do? Snakeboss14

I wondered about that too...-- the master--MewFan128 Mew! 15:40, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

Categorising them and adding descriptions for some. You could check by clicking 'diff' on the recent changes. It's just the same as Yoshord's been doing, only I did a lot at once.GP

No wonder you're the best adimin here.-- the master--MewFan128 Mew! 15:57, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

Oh, so that's it. It looked weird. And MewFan is right! Snakeboss14

So editing makes me a good admin? Well...I guess it makes me the best of those here if they don't edit, yeah...GP

Does it ever get boring to you...if it was me editing I'd be bored by the 3rd picture.:P--Gamefreak75 16:06, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

Heh, well, yeah, that's why it's taken so long. Looking in my to-do list history, it says I added that item on 14th March 2008...GP

What happened to other users? There are only about 30 users that respond regularly.-- the master--MewFan128 Mew! 16:11, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

Yeah...maybe they turned into ZOMBIES!0_0--Gamefreak75 16:13, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

Not again!-- the master--MewFan128 Mew! 16:15, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

Well, there were 29 last month, but half of those probably won't come back. There's a load of statistics at special:statistics if you're interested.GP

Whoa! That's a lot of numbers. But why has the number of editors diminished? Hope this wikia becomes more popular with the release of Pikmin 3. Snakeboss14

Probably will. The reason they left is because we got nearly everything here done... or as they say.-- the master--MewFan128 Mew! 16:34, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

I don't think the number has diminished. Apart from a lot of activity from a few people in early-to-mid 2008, I think the wiki hasn't been more active than it is now. Only, now a lot more of the activity is on user talk pages and such.GP

I don't plan leaving when that happens. I sort of feel bad when I am in Wikitroid and there' s edits every five minutes. Snakeboss14

Some wikis are faster than that...-- the master--MewFan128 Mew! 16:41, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

the sound clips on the wiki

what program did you use to convert them to the .ogg format?

--Semajdraehs- any replies to my Talk page 18:40, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

The ones I did, I used SoundConverter, a GNOME (Linux) program; guessing you're using Windows, in which case, if it'll open in Audacity (a fair amount of audio does), I'd use that. Otherwise, I'd use VLC. Though, these aren't batch converters; I don't know of any decent free Windows programs that are, since I've never researched it.GP

yes. IAMAHIPO_ocolor 06:49, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

I say that you don'd deserve it as much as other users, like Crysal Lucario. Snakeboss14

maybe. I think what I am good at, and how I have contributed to this wikia the most, is how I find new obscure links.
