Hello! I'm Botanist | {{administrator}} | ||
Hello! I'm '''Soprano''', formerly called '''Botanist'''. I'm an active editor and [[Pikipedia:Administrators|administrator]] here on Pikipedia. If you need to ask me a question about the wiki, feel free to ask on [[User talk:Soprano|my talk page]], or [https://discord.gg/msMKc3G join Pikipedia's Discord server] and ask there. | |||
==Me and the wiki== | |||
I first learned about ''Pikmin'' when {{p3}} came out. I didn't know about Pikipedia or any game wiki at the time. I got {{npcp1}} for my Wii, but it was too hard for me and I stopped playing halfway through. In mid-2014 I got a Wii U and ''Pikmin 3'', and that game was much more doable. I got {{npcp2}} in early 2016, and it was also too difficult, mainly because I didn't want to lose any Purple Pikmin. | |||
In late 2016, I found Pikipedia, through Bulbapedia. I started reading the wiki, and for the first few months of 2017 it was one of my favorite websites. I was eventually able to beat ''Pikmin 2'' with some help from the wiki, and later ''Pikmin'' as well. (When I say "I" in this paragraph and the last, I really mean "I and the person I live with"; until 2019, they played a lot more ''Pikmin'' than I did, and I mostly watched.) Throughout this time, I read the wiki a lot, eventually reading pretty much every article on the site, but I never thought of editing it. I got {{hp}} when it came out, but by then I wasn't reading the wiki much. | |||
A few years later, I finally decided to join Pikipedia in January 2020. At first I didn't edit very much, doing a few small edits and projects. But in August, {{p3d}} was announced. On the ''Pikmin'' Discord server (Pikcord), I became one of the most active theorists about the new game, looking at promotional material and discussing it with others. And on Pikipedia, I started uploading lots of promotional images and screenshots from trailers about this game. This led me to start editing more things. In particular, I noticed that the [[Menu]] article was getting very large and was lacking a lot of ''Pikmin 3'' and ''Hey! Pikmin'' information. I proposed to split the article into smaller articles about each menu screen to allow this extra information to be documented, and the resulting project to [[:Category:Menus|split the article]] and document more menu screens was my first major Pikipedia project. When ''Pikmin 3 Deluxe'' came out, I uploaded a lot of screenshots to the wiki, mostly of the [[Side Stories]] stages, while documenting its new and updated features as well. | |||
In 2021, I started making more diverse edits to the wiki. I did various small projects throughout the year, such as researching [[hint]]s and [[objective]]s, making ''Pikmin 3 Deluxe'' [[:File:Tropical Wilds map P3D.png|ar]][[:File:Garden of Hope map P3D.png|ea]] [[:File:Distant Tundra map P3D.png|ma]][[:File:Twilight River map P3D.png|ps]], and rewriting some notable pages, including [[Pikipedia:About]], [[Help:Editing]], and [[Pikmin family]]. On {{date|21|August|2021}}, my username was changed from Botanist to Soprano to match the name I use on the Pikcord. When {{pb}} was released, I became the most active contributor of information about the new game, creating several articles, doing research with others, and documenting community findings. | |||
In 2022, I continued to document the frequent changes to ''Pikmin Bloom'' (which became rather annoying to do after a while), as well as do other wiki projects. I wrote an article on [[weight]], looked through every file on the wiki to revive the [[Template:Featured image|featured image system]], and analyzed the entire [[Music in Hey! Pikmin|Hey! Pikmin soundtrack]]. On {{date|4|April|2022}}, I was promoted to [[Pikipedia:Patrollers|patroller]] on the wiki, and a year later on {{date|15|May|2023}}, I was promoted to [[Pikipedia:Administrators|administrator]]. | |||
When {{p4}} came out in 2023, I helped coordinate the documentation of the new game in the Discord channel, and mostly worked on cleanup and technical changes on the wiki. It was fantastic to see articles gradually get created, with so many people helping the wiki to steadily document information. While there's still a lot to do, it's great that the wiki has documented so much about ''Pikmin 4'' in the first few months after its release. | |||
==Plans== | ==Plans== | ||
These are some projects I planned to do at some point, but now that ''Pikmin 4'' is out, it'll likely be a while before I get to any of these. Feel free to work on them if you want – a wiki is never complete, and when there are more people helping out, it's a better resource for everyone. | |||
