This article is a help page for the [[Pikipedia:Chat|Pikipedia IRC Chatroom]]. The chatroom serves for real-time discussion of Pikmin and wiki-related content, either canon or fanon, but pleasant general discussions are appreciated as well. | |||
Some of the regulars on the wiki can be found in the chatroom some parts of the day. Do note that their nicknames might not be the same as the ones they use on the wiki – check the respective user's user page on Pikipedia to see if they mention having a different nickname while on the IRC channel. | |||
