::: A good amount of Garden's information is already brought in to 4, for example, the whole thing with Horned Cannon Beetles being invasive to Armored, as well as them breeding mutations, is both on Garden, but also in game in the Piklopedia. However, other bits of info, such as explaining Space Dogs and what not, isn't so cut and dry. However, I do feel Garden should be treated as an official, first hand source because, well it is. It would be the same as documenting information from official artbooks or other such portions of media. --[[User:Jpmrocks|JPM]] ([[User talk:Jpmrocks|talk]]) 19:40, February 12, 2024 (EST) | ::: A good amount of Garden's information is already brought in to 4, for example, the whole thing with Horned Cannon Beetles being invasive to Armored, as well as them breeding mutations, is both on Garden, but also in game in the Piklopedia.

:Since the topic of regional differences (especially relating to [[canon]]) is hugely unclear, I think a full policy to address this is required instead of stuffing it in along with [[Pikipedia:Canon policy|the canon policy]]. I've drafted one here: [[User:SupremeKirb/Localization policy]] - [[User:SupremeKirb|SupremeKirb]] ([[User talk:SupremeKirb|talk]]) 19:58, February 10, 2024 (EST) | :Since the topic of regional differences (especially relating to [[canon]]) is hugely unclear, I think a full policy to address this is required instead of stuffing it in along with [[Pikipedia:Canon policy|the canon policy]].

::: I mean, the big reason we're focused in on English vs Japanese is because A, the game is Japanese, and B, we are an English site. While, yes, other localizations need to be considered, we can't just sit around and wait for a policy change because we need representation from every language at the UN. Even then, we already document a good chunk of names and other sort of regional differences as is. I'm certain there are plenty of polyglot users who would be willing to contribute things if they were allowed to. | ::: I mean, the big reason we're focused in on English vs Japanese is because A, the game is Japanese, and B, we are an English site.

I think SupremeKirb's proposal is the best bet we have moving forward. We can obviously make modifications and changes as we go, but I think it's bad faith to just sit on this policy and have it be perfect right out the gate. --[[User:Jpmrocks|JPM]] ([[User talk:Jpmrocks|talk]]) 19:40, February 12, 2024 (EST) | |||

:::Timeline would be best, and if down the line, they pull a Zelda and start rearranging thing, having each game be it's own "block" would make things much easier to organize.--[[User:Jpmrocks|JPM]] ([[User talk:Jpmrocks|talk]]) 12:53, January 26, 2024 (EST) | :::Timeline would be best, and if down the line, they pull a Zelda and start rearranging thing, having each game be it's own "block" would make things much easier to organize.--[[User:Jpmrocks|JPM]] ([[User talk:Jpmrocks|talk]]) 12:53, January 26, 2024 (EST) | ||

::Re: buttons to change infoboxes: these are known as switchables and we've discussed their implementation on the wiki before for other contexts (particularly the ridiculous multi-game infobox stacks on treasure pages and the like). As of the last conversation, the general consensus is that while they are convenient, we should minimise JavaScript wherever possible and switchables require that to operate.

Some people (such as [[User:Flamsey|Flamsey]]) have commented that the way we document Pikipedia's position on the canon is quite strange, with some things documented on the [[Canon]] page and some things documented on [[Pikipedia:Canon policy]]. It is quite an unusual split and I'm not aware of any other game wiki that does things this way. Restructuring these pages to show the information in an easier-to-understand way would be a good idea, but how could this be done? — [[User:Soprano|'''Soprano''']]<sub>[[User talk:Soprano|''(talk)'']]</sub> 01:05, December 28, 2023 (EST) | Some people (such as [[User:Flamsey|Flamsey]]) have commented that the way we document Pikipedia's position on the canon is quite strange, with some things documented on the [[Canon]] page and some things documented on [[Pikipedia:Canon policy]].
