The Pikipedia is a wiki for information pertaining to the Pikmin series. Having only one consonant difference, its name resembles that of Wikipedia closely, while still retaining the first part of the word Pikmin. Being a wiki, everybody is free to edit pages and leave comments on talk pages, done by using the edit tab at the top of pages. Other ways to get involved and become part of the community include creating or participating in topics at the forum and chatting in the IRC chatroom.

Pikipedia currently has 1,911 articles. For other statistical information on the wiki, see Special:Statistics.

History

Pikipedia was created on December 3rd 2005 by Dark Lord Revan at Wikia, and later became independent at pikminwiki.com on September 14th 2010. This move occurred through users of Pikcanon-NOT, the fanon wiki now known as Pikmin Fanon, who made an offer to Pikipedia to move to their new domain as well. The Pikmin Wikia is constantly being updated every hour with new news, official names, and art, while Pikipedia still has 14 month old information. Popular Youtube users such as DazzReviews recognizes The Pikmin Wikia as superior.
