Forum:A few things.

Forums: Index > Watercooler (Pikipedia) > A few things.

I didn't want to make 3 topics.

Forums

I think we could do with splitting this one into Watercooler - Pikmin and Watercooler - Pikipedia, where one is for general game matters and the other for stuff to do with this site. I could do this if there's a general agreement. The reason is that the random Pikmin 3-type topics in this forum make it hard to find the more important things.

Seconded. I've actually thought the same thing. —Jimbo Jambo

Uh, thirded. That considers creating a new forum in general? I'm intrigued.--Prezintenden

Done. Any mistakes?GP

No.--Prezintenden

Naming Articles

Having looked at Wikipedia and other Wikis recently, it seems I kind of got the naming wrong. The general consensus everywhere else is to have only proper nouns capitalised, all else but the first word in lower case, so I think we should rename pages to that standard. But then there's the question of Pikmin words - which are proper nouns, and which aren't? Of course, are/cave/enemy names are proper nouns, but things like egg and dandelion are harder to decide. Ideas?

Personally I kind of prefer the standard we have now, treating each article name sort of like a title. That being said, even now I purposely leave the names of objects like eggs and bomb-rocks uncapitalized, even when linking to them; I haven't needed to yet, but I imagine I'd treat plants the same way, even inside their respective articles. So I think it's fine as it is, but I'm going going to resist tooth-and-nail if it gets decided otherwise. —Jimbo Jambo

I prefer it with all capitals in titles as well, but I was going by how it is everywhere else. We'll see what Prezintenden thinks.GP

If I see this right, then Pikpik carrot is spellt wrong. "Carrot" should be in caps; however, that's the only thing I found by overflying the recent changes. Things like "Eggs" and "Dandelion" have to have capitols anyway since they're the single, hence first word in the title. In the articles, I'd agree with Jimbo. Links direct you to capped titles one way or the other.--Prezintenden

I think I see why most places have no capitalisation except on proper nouns: so that there's no confusion over which words need capitalisation. For words like 'of', 'that', 'and', relative pronouns, etc. I'm unsure.GP

Categorisation

I'm going to try to get every page and image categorised, but it's hard to think what pages like Ship's Log, eggs, Ai No Uta, Spirit, etc. should be under. And it's even harder with images. See Special:Uncategorizedpages and Special:Uncategorizedimages, and say where you think pages should go.

Category:Other —Jimbo Jambo

Oh, maybe. Most things could go in there. I'll see if there's anything I'm unsure about when I get around to doing this.GP

I think Bitter Drop, Burgeoning Spiderwort mold, Eggs, Nectar, Spicy Drop, Spray, Ultra-bitter spray and Ultra-spicy spray could all go in one category, but I can't think of a name. They're basically all to do with sprays/nectar - things that make battles easier. Any ideas?GP
