Pikipedia has a '''poll''' system, where a poll will be shown on the main page for users to vote on. These ballots can range from trivial things, like what the reader's favorite subject is from a category, to aspects that can provide some useful, interesting statistical insight, like comparisons between the number of players of certain versions of a game.

Pikipedia has a '''poll''' system, where a poll is shown on the [[Main Page]] for users to vote on. Each poll is shown for 2 months, and they cover a variety of topics, from favorite areas to preferred control schemes.
The polls are updated every two months. To decide what will be the next poll, editors are encouraged to '''[[/nominations|nominate and vote]]''' on poll ideas. When it's time to switch the poll, a trusted editor is tasked with choosing a poll from the nominations, and communicating with the community to settle tie-breakers and what options to add. The poll is created on polldaddy.com, and is then updated, with the previous poll being archived (but still opened for viewers to vote, if they so wish). Detailed instructions for the editor tasked with updating the poll can be found on the [[{{TALKPAGENAME}}#Instructions|talk page]].

The following is a list of older polls. In order to not overload clients and servers, the polls will not be embedded in this page, but links to each poll on polldaddy.com will be provided. The results shown are the ones at the time the poll was switched from being "current" to being "old"; however, the polls are normally still open for those wishing to vote after the poll has been highlighted on the wiki's front page.

Poll process

Anyone can suggest ideas for Pikipedia polls on Pikipedia:Poll/ideas, and it's encouraged for editors to visit the page to see upcoming polls and add comments or votes of support or opposition. When it's time for the next poll to start, a staff member looks at the ideas and selects one. (Detailed instructions for that editor can be found here.) After 2 months, the poll's final results are added to Pikipedia:Poll/older polls.

If you have an idea for a poll, please suggest it! Any multiple-choice question that's Pikmin-related can be asked as a poll, but an ideal poll is one that:

  1. Fans of the series want to answer.
  2. Can provide some interesting stats after the votes are tallied.
  3. Doesn't have any "maybe" or "depends" answers, since those are almost always what people vote for.
  4. Only has a few available options.
