Submit nominations of pages that have a lot of potential to be a featured article, but still need some work.

Sparklium Springs

Support

1. (Nominator:) After the tasks are done, this is a pretty cute and complete article to feature. — {Espyo^T} 07:23, 22 September 2017 (EDT)

The Forest Navel

Support

1. (Nominator:) Important subject, but needs a bit of cleanup. — {Espyo^T} 13:05, 1 December 2018 (EST)

The Distant Spring

Support

1. (Nominator:) Important article, but has a few pending tasks. — {Espyo^T} 13:05, 1 December 2018 (EST)

Awakening Wood

Support

1. (Nominator:) Important subject, and doesn't have much left to complete. — {Espyo^T} 13:05, 1 December 2018 (EST)
2. This article is completely ready to be featured, though given it's the last Pikmin 2 area article that hasn't been featured, it might be best to wait a while. — Botanist_(talk) 01:14, May 30, 2021 (EDT)

Tropical Wilds

Support

1. (Nominator:) Important subject, but needs work. — {Espyo^T} 13:05, 1 December 2018 (EST)

Garden of Hope

Support

1. (Nominator:) Very important subject, but needs work. — {Espyo^T} 13:05, 1 December 2018 (EST)

Distant Tundra

Support

1. (Nominator:) Important subject, but needs work. — {Espyo^T} 13:05, 1 December 2018 (EST)
2. This article is complete enough now to be featured; it's only missing the Quotes section, which no Pikmin 3 area articles have yet. It could be nice to feature this during the winter. — Botanist_(talk) 01:10, June 23, 2021 (EDT)

Twilight River

Support

1. (Nominator:) Important subject, but needs work. — {Espyo^T} 13:05, 1 December 2018 (EST)

Formidable Oak

Support

1. (Nominator:) Important subject, but needs work. However, would presenting this on the front page count as a spoiler? This area is all about the final boss, after all. I'm a bit on the fence with this one. — {Espyo^T} 13:05, 1 December 2018 (EST)

Comments

• I think this would count as a spoiler. — Botanist_(talk) 01:14, May 30, 2021 (EDT)

Red Pikmin

Support

1. (Nominator:) Very important subject, but has some pending tasks. — {Espyo^T} 13:05, 1 December 2018 (EST)

Yellow Pikmin

Support

1. (Nominator:) Very important subject, but has some pending tasks. — {Espyo^T} 13:05, 1 December 2018 (EST)

Rock Pikmin

Support

1. (Nominator:) Very important subject, but has some pending tasks. — {Espyo^T} 13:05, 1 December 2018 (EST)

Bingo Battle

Support

1. (Nominator:) It's a juicy article, and has almost no pending tasks. — {Espyo^T} 13:05, 1 December 2018 (EST)
2. I agree with Espyo. It's also an important article. --Ben (talk) 01:07, 11 February 2019 (EST)
3. I also agree. There are very few multiplayer aspects in the Pikmin Series, so this seems like a very good candidate. V64 (talk) 7:21 12 February 2019 (EST)
4. Probably the best candidate for the next featured article. — Botanist_(talk) 22:22, January 27, 2021 (EST)

Bomb rock

Support

1. (Nominator:) Important subject, fairly complete. Only needs a couple of tasks done. — {Espyo^T} 13:36, March 16, 2019 (EDT)

Nectar egg

Support

1. (Nominator:) Article's not much, but it'll be pretty straight-forward once the tasks are done. It's a bit of an important subject, and the tidbits about the spawn chances can be interesting. Might be a good pick for when we have no better articles to feature. — {Espyo^T} 19:06, November 8, 2019 (EST)

Hocotate

Support

1. (Nominator:) This article is packed with details, and has 42 different sources. It's one of the best documentations of the interesting details seen in Pikmin's various logs, and is overall thoroughly written. — CrazyCow November 30th, 2020
2. Agreed, but like the TODO says, we need more references first. — {Espyo^T} 13:30, December 2, 2020 (EST)
3. — Botanist_(talk) 01:10, June 23, 2021 (EDT)

Captain Olimar

Support

1. (Nominator:) This article may have been rejected 13 years ago, but now it's a well-written article with good-quality information. Given the importance of Olimar to the series, it would be nice to finally feature this article. — Botanist_(talk) 05:26, May 9, 2021 (EDT)
2. — {Espyo^T} 11:13, May 11, 2021 (EDT)

Comments

• It turns out that this article was actually featured on the Pikmin Wikia during the split period, but I guess that doesn't count, and it can still be featured. Also, due to this article's importance, it should probably be the featured article when the Pikmin mobile app releases (probably in October-November; I think Cupid's Grenade should be featured in August-September). — Botanist_(talk) 21:37, July 17, 2021 (EDT)

Pikmin Short Movies

Support

1. (Nominator:) This article has it all – plot descriptions, real-world information, bonus content, the app interface, a detailed history section, and several references. Given the new accessibility of the Pikmin Short Movies, this well-written article deserves to be on the main page. — Botanist_(talk) 05:26, May 9, 2021 (EDT)
2. — {Espyo^T} 11:13, May 11, 2021 (EDT)

Upgrade

Support

1. (Nominator:) A thorough article with lots of information. — Botanist_(talk) 04:39, May 16, 2021 (EDT)

Comments

• It's a bit of a weird one to feature... It's clunky to read, and serves more as a list. — {Espyo^T} 15:09, May 17, 2021 (EDT)

Cupid's Grenade

Support

1. (Nominator:) Describes a treasure, a fruit, and a special item in 2-player competitive modes. — Botanist_(talk) 04:39, May 16, 2021 (EDT)
2. — {Espyo^T} 15:09, May 17, 2021 (EDT)

Zest Bomb

Support

1. (Nominator:) The best-written fruit article on the wiki. — Botanist_(talk) 04:39, May 16, 2021 (EDT)
2. — {Espyo^T} 15:09, May 17, 2021 (EDT)

Bearded Amprat

Support

1. (Nominator:) A simple high-quality article on a unique enemy. — Botanist_(talk) 04:39, May 16, 2021 (EDT)
2. — {Espyo^T} 15:09, May 17, 2021 (EDT)

Iridescent Flint Beetle

Support

1. (Nominator:) This article has detailed information on 3 games and the enemy's appearance in the Super Smash Bros. series. — Botanist_(talk) 04:39, May 16, 2021 (EDT)
2. — {Espyo^T} 15:09, May 17, 2021 (EDT)

Saved game selection menu

Support

1. (Nominator:) The most complete menu article, with a fascinating section on the orb color mechanic in Pikmin 2. — Botanist_(talk) 04:39, May 16, 2021 (EDT)
2. — {Espyo^T} 15:09, May 17, 2021 (EDT)

Area selection menu

Support

1. (Nominator:) The area selection menu is the most distinctive menu of the Pikmin series, and would be the best menu article to feature to show Pikipedia's coverage of menus. — Botanist_(talk) 01:40, June 6, 2021 (EDT)
2. — {Espyo^T} 13:15, June 7, 2021 (EDT)

Nintendo 3DS

Support

1. (Nominator:) This article is a nice real-world article to feature, and features interesting information about all the diverse Pikmin things on the 3DS. — Botanist_(talk) 01:40, June 6, 2021 (EDT)
2. — {Espyo^T} 13:15, June 7, 2021 (EDT)

Secret Spot

Support

1. (Nominator:) It's about time we had another featured article about Hey! Pikmin, and this is a good candidate. It has thorough information on level design and also more technical aspects of the mechanic. — Botanist_(talk) 01:40, June 6, 2021 (EDT)

Comments

• It still has some massive pending tasks. Leaving such a massive todo in a featured article would look ugly, and in particular, the tasks that need to be done are very important to the core of the subject. I don't think this should be featured yet. — {Espyo^T} 13:15, June 7, 2021 (EDT)

Hey! Pikmin

Support

1. (Nominator:) For a Hey! Pikmin featured article, what about the game itself? It's well-written, has no maintenance tasks, and contains a lot of information. In a few years, it would be nice to remind people that this game exists. — Botanist_(talk) 01:10, June 23, 2021 (EDT)
2. — {Espyo^T} 15:49, June 26, 2021 (EDT)

White Flower Garden

Support

1. (Nominator:) I'm surprised no cave articles have been featured yet. This one is one of the best. — Botanist_(talk) 01:10, June 23, 2021 (EDT)
2. — {Espyo^T} 15:49, June 26, 2021 (EDT)

Bulblax Kingdom

1. (Nominator:) I'm surprised no cave articles have been featured yet. This one is one of the best. — Botanist_(talk) 01:10, June 23, 2021 (EDT)
