hello all pikmin fans i think a pikmin 3 game should be created it should have a multiplayer co op story mode and there should be new pikmins and enemies but not too many so the game still remains good also there should be no limit of days as that can get annoying when you cant get a certain piece but there should be a certain amount of items and a good story line maby with different characters having different stories and you play them all in fun objective filled chapters

please add to this page i will read all comments
 
==Protected==
Don't you think that our Main Page should be '''protected''' so that no common rapscallion will be able to mock our wiki by destroying the Main Page? Most large wikis have done this, so it should be advised we take this action so that only news and important additions should be checked and made by the wiki's officials. --[[User:The Pikmin God|The Pikmin God]] 15:46, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
 
I agree, for one thing, there are people who would do this or even cover this page with curse words, then there are the people who are board and don't have anything to do, and THEN we have to deal with the people who decide to mess with it when pikmin 3 comes out, so with all do respect, do it!--[[User:Prof.pikmin|Prof.]] 00:33, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
 
:Check out the [[Talk:Main Page#Main page protection|Main Page Protection]] section further down this page. The Main Page was protected for a while, but we were advised to leave it unprotected to registered users only unless it became a specific target for vandalism, and we haven't actually had a lot of trouble with it, at least not so much that couldn't easily be handled. It also makes it a lot easier for users to fix minor problems with it without having to go and tug the sleeve of an admin to do it for them. {{user:Jimbo Jambo/sig}} 18:40, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
 
==Featured Article==
When will we start the featured article? I think Revan was planning to publish this supposedly...stolen...idea, and put it on the Main Page. We should also improve the quality of the Main Page by andding colored boxes and including a guide to reading and finding the information. This page is still recomended by me to be protected. --[[User:The Pikmin God|The Pikmin God]] 20:41, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
 
Im going to do the featured article every week. it will change every friday until
the voting page starts to work effeiciently--[[User:Goolix|<b><span style="color:black">Goolix</span></b>]]<sup>[[User talk:goolix|burp!!!]]</sup>[[Image:'s_Family_Crest.jpg|20px]][[Image:Black_Sun.jpg|30px]][[Image:Mandoinsignia.jpg|color:blue|20px]] 19:03, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
 
I swear there was a different picture of Louie last time I checked.[[User:Pikdude|Pikdude]] 21:04, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
 
==Unprotected==
For whatever reason this page should be unprotected, go right ahead. I just protected it to make sure that our Title Page wouldn't be subject to simple vandalism: destroying Main Pages. --[[User:The Pikmin God|The Pikmin God]] 21:02, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
 
==Improvement Drive==
What is the Improvement Drive section supposed to have on it?--[[User:The Pikmin God|The Pikmin God]] 20:14, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
 
The iprovement drive needs any article that lacks any vital information.I'm not sure if you have to nominate an article and then people vote if they want it,Or that an admin or someone just puts it there.--[[User:Goolix|<b><span style="color:orange">Goolix</span></b>]]<sup>[[User talk:goolix|burp!!!]]</sup>[[Image:Black_Sun.jpg|30px]][[Image:Mandoinsignia.jpg|color:blue|20px]] 23:19, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
we should have a page where we take votes on things and we should start nominating articles for the improvement drive and the featured articles--[[User:Goolix|<b><span style="color:orange">Goolix</span></b>]]<sup>[[User talk:goolix|burp!!!]]</sup>[[Image:Black_Sun.jpg|30px]][[Image:Mandoinsignia.jpg|color:blue|20px]] 23:19, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 
==Boxes==
We should box everything in the main page like in wikipedia.Wookiepedia did this we should too,I dont know how though.--[[User:Goolix|<b><span style="color:orange">Goolix</span></b>]]<sup>[[User talk:goolix|burp!!!]]</sup>[[Image:Black_Sun.jpg|30px]][[Image:Mandoinsignia.jpg|color:blue|20px]] 23:19, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 
No no no your suposed to put a specific article like the Hairy bulborb,mitite,captain olimar,etc.if you still dont get it go to wookiepedia and look under the improvement drive.--[[User:Goolix|<b><span style="color:orange">Goolix</span></b>]]<sup>[[User talk:goolix|burp!!!]]</sup>[[Image:Black_Sun.jpg|30px]][[Image:Mandoinsignia.jpg|color:blue|20px]] 23:19, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

== Main page look ==
You guys should have links to various articles. Maybe have boxes for different things (featured article, articles, and another box for... I dunno categories?). Maybe put the info about the wiki in the about page.--[[User:Richard1990|Richard]] 01:11, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
 
i think we should put the main page as the improvement drive it needs boxes and stuff and we need a group of people that are willing to update the page every month
(or week). and we should have a wikipedian of the month kinda thing you know.--[[User:Goolix|<b><span style="color:orange">Goolix</span></b>]]<sup>[[User talk:goolix|burp!!!]]</sup>[[Image:Black_Sun.jpg|30px]][[Image:Mandoinsignia.jpg|color:blue|20px]] 23:19, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

I would just like to point out that the main page wouldnt even be the way it is now without the help of Discordance all i did was copy and paste pretty much and little detail work but he did the the format of it.

only a suggestion but shouldnt we make awards and such all the other wikis do this and the admins dont have to make them you dont have to be an admin--[[User:Goolix|<b><span style="color:orange">Goolix</span></b>]]<sup>[[User talk:goolix|burp!!!]]</sup>[[Image:Black_Sun.jpg|30px]][[Image:Mandoinsignia.jpg|color:blue|20px]] 23:19, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

== Images ==
 
For anyone wondering where most of the images have come from it seems to be here [http://www.gamehiker.com/gallery/albums/pikmin/pik2]. Source details and all those boring image details need to be filled out eventually. [[User:Discordance|Discordance]] 06:35, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

<div style="text-decoration:line-through">Can a sysop download the random image extension please so we can have a random image on the main page. Its available here http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:RandomImage [[User:Discordance|Discordance]] 14:03, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Nevermind, using an already installed extension. [[User:Discordance|Discordance]] 14:31, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
 
Hey you said the images are random right well something must be wrong because I saw the same image twice in the past 5 minutes.[[User:Yoshi|Yoshi]] March 24 8:27
 
== New wiki image ==
 
The old wiki image wasn't the right size, so I had a go at making a new one. I'm unsure of the licensing on the old image, my new image can't technically be used and someone needs to redraw it at some point. I'll just leave my new version here on the talk page for now if people like it we can use it temporarily but really someone needs to create some original artwork.
 
<s>Image:Wikidraft.png</s>
 
[[User:Discordance|Discordance]] 13:35, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
 
Hmm maybe not, other wikia wikis seem to be using copyrighted images, so im going to go ahead and change the logo, some orginal artwork would be preferable though if theres any artists out there. [[User:Discordance|Discordance]] 13:46, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
 
how did you change the logo?--[[User:Goolix|<b><span style="color:Blue">Goolix</span></b>]]<sup>[[User talk:goolix|burp!!!]]</sup>[[Image:Black_Sun.jpg|30px]] 01:55, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
 
Its just a normal image named Wiki.png . [[User:Discordance|Discordance]] 11:21, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
 
== Main page spoilers ==
 
I've noticed that one of the pages on the Featured Article rotation ('Louie') contains what is probably the biggest spoiler in the series - and for that to be there as soon as someone visits the Wiki isn't good.
 
==Main Page Discussion==
It is preferred if discussion not related to the main page would be posted on the forums:

== Main page protection ==
 
Hullo there! I'm Kirkburn, a Wikia Gaming Helper, and I've just reduced the protection of the Main Page to registered users only.
 
[[Wikia:Protection|Wikia's protection policy]] advises that pages only be protected if they are the target of vandalism - otherwise full protection can cause more damage to the wiki through neglect than vandalism may have otherwise done. I hope this is not a problem! [[w:User:Kirkburn|Kirkburn]] ([[w:User_talk:Kirkburn|talk]]) 09:00, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
 
==Hmm...==
Odd, but when I go to the main page, it starts to load the entire thing, but when it is done loading, half of it is... um... Chopped off. I don't know how to explain it, but the "Random Excerpts," "Did You Know...?," "Random picture," "Contents," "Editing," and "Help Desk" sections disappear. Has this happened to anyone else?

:Blame Green. He divided everything into little tabs at the top of the content area, right below the ''Edit'', ''Discussion'', etc. stuff. I can't complain though, since he made a draft and asked if it was okay and nobody objected. Actually though, speaking of etc., why'd you choose to spell out the entire thing Green? Don't people usually just say "etc."? {{user:Jimbo Jambo/sig}}

== Great Job! ==
 
I love how you did this wiki! I'd edit here but I don't do Pikmin :p. Anyway, you guys must be coder extraordinaries to do all this. I'm a b-crat on Zeldapedia, so I came also to ask how you guys made the sidebar colorful and how you added the pikmin image in the background. That would be a great help.

:::...Fail. There's nothing in my monobook as I removed it as it's all in [[mediawiki:monobook.css]] now. As for the answer, you could look at that; that's pretty much all I did - looked at other wikis. I pretty much taught myself CSS by example through creating this skin, and it kind of shows at least a little on IE. I've labeled the sections, so you can find the bits you asked about by looking at the titles on that page.
 
The background is two images: one for the back, outside the page, that's fully opaque; and a paler one in the content area to create the idea of transparency. If you have further questions, ask away.{{User:Greenpickle/sig}} 16:43, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
 
==Links==
I think the links in the first box on the page (top left) should be removed or moved to the quick links box. This would let the text in the top left box spread out a bit more, so the feature can move up a bit, so more of it is on the screen as should be the case. Also, I'm not sure why links like that are in that box anyway.{{User:Greenpickle/sig}}
 
:I agree... {{User:Crystal_lucario/Sig}}
 
:I think those are some good links to have, but considering that we do have a "Quick Topics" box, they probably could be moved. {{user:Jimbo Jambo/sig}}
 
== great idea ==
 
Ok, I've come up with a great page: "list of implied characters". it could have the space bunnies, [[Olimar]]s parents and anyother people unseen but known about! what do you think?

:Hmmmm... interesting {{User:Crystal_lucario/Sig}}
 
::I have no objections to you creating the page, as long you keep it separate from the current characters page. Or you could add a section on to the characters page with your list of implied characters. {{User:Last Onion/sig}}
 
:::What are you going to write? If you're doing nothing other than listing them, I wouldn't consider it worth an entire article.--{{User:Prezintenden/sig}}
 
::::Yeah, that, unless you're suggesting all implied characters' articles (if they have any? Can't remember) be removed and put on that one page. I guess it makes sense to have them all listed somewhere together, though, if they don't already have articles, since we have at least a sentence of text about each, but it would be quite a short article.{{User:Greenpickle/sig}}
 
== New Featured Article ==
 
I Noticed The Article Was Changed To "Scales" By an IP. i edited it so it wouldn't end up like
This.
And i changed the link to the [[Scales|corresponding article]]. If I Find Another Error I Will Fix It. and there is many errors. Especially That Spam On The [[Bulbmin]] Article. i fixed that BTW. Woah! 2 Links In 1 Comment! {{User:Redpikminflamethrower/Sig}}
 
== Piklopedia ==
 
For some reason, Ive found it hard to reach the piklopedia, if someone could make it easier to reach such as make a direct link to some of the major things on the main page such as areas, the piklopedia, and the treasure hoard.--[[User:Prof.pikmin|Prof.]] 01:17, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
 
:You could just use the search box. We removed the links like those that we had before when the layout changed with all the new adverts nonsense; maybe we could do with a link to the [[:category:categories|root category]] on the sidebar, from where every page can be accessed?{{User:Greenpickle/sig}}

Yes, we ''could'', but it would mean one more thing to change every now and then. If you're all for it and think others will be, create a forum topic for it and ask people to vote, and if the majority's for, of course that change will be made.{{User:Greenpickle/sig}}

Anyways, where is the Featured Image vote? <span style="border:2px dashed #FF0000;background-color:yellow">[[Image:Orangebulborb.jpg|40px]][[User:Snakeboss14|<span title="Visit my userpage and vote in my polls!" style="color:green">''Snake''</span>]][[User talk:Snakeboss14|<span title = "Visit my talk page and leave a comment!" style = "color:blue">''boss14''</span>]][[Image:Hairybulborb.jpg|40px]]</span>
 
:I thought the idea was just for certain people to change it without a vote, so it can be changed more often than the featured article. Or maybe elect one person, and if others feel an image needs featuring, they can leave a suggestion at [[template talk:featured image]], so that if there is something people want it gets featured, but otherwise something gets featured anyway and it doesn't get left the same for ages. I don't know, maybe that would work more smoothly?

hi long time no see wiki :P. I was wondering whether this wiki would be allowed to join NIWA, or does something stop it? '''[[User:Wiki443556|<span style="color:Red">Wiki</span>]][[User Talk:Wiki443556|<span style="color:Blue">443556</span>]]'''[[Image:memamuta.png|78px]]

:We discussed it earlier, and I don't know how it ended up. Ask Green. {{User:Snakeboss14/sig}}
 
==Ad Box==
 
Several wikis have their main pages redirect to another page to avoid the large ad box on the main page. This is now default for all new wikis. I think we should move it.
{{User:Volatile Dweevil/Sig}}
 
:It just shows up on Main Page, not whatever's in mediawiki:mainpage?  That's odd: getting around ads sounds like it would be against Wikia policy, but I've seen staff suggest moving the main page to the title of the wiki - maybe that was before the new adverts?  I'd look into it, but I'm on holiday for a week from tomorrow.{{User:Greenpickle/sig}}

Why is the article count including pages in addition to article? That includes talk pages, user pages, and just about any other namespace, which doesn't make it a "true" article count. [[User:Turtwig A|Turtwig A]] 17:34, 25 September 2010 (EDT)
 
My guess is that someone used the NUMBEROFPAGES magic word instead of the NUMBEROFARTICLES magic word. {{User:Volatile Dweevil/Vol2}}

::Someone wanted the wiki to look bigger than it really is, and they did it in a very clandestine manner... Or maybe it was just a mistake.
 
::{{User:Volatile Dweevil/Vol2}}
 
:::Peanut64 just did it, probably because the article number isn't right yet.  Give it time. <span style="font-family:times;">'''''[[User:Greenpickle|<span style="color:#080;">G</span>]][[User talk:Greenpickle|<span style="color:#050;">P</span>]]'''''</span>

[http://starfoxwiki.org/Lylat_Wiki Lylat Wiki] is now a part of [http://niwanetwork.org/ NIWA network] so you might wanna update that NIWA template or table or whatever lol.

how do make my wiki independant? does it cost money?
 
It costs money to get your own domain, yes. You can get a free hosted sub-domain, however, such as [http://volatiledweevil.limewebs.com my site]. {{User:Volatile Dweevil/Vol2}}
 
:There are nicer free subdomains like [http://www.co.cc/ subdomain.co.cc].  Free hosting exists as well, and can be fine for low-traffic sites. <span style="font-family:times;">'''''[[User:Greenpickle|<span style="color:#080;">G</span>]][[User talk:Greenpickle|<span style="color:#050;">P</span>]]'''''</span>

== NIWA bar ==
 
I mentioned this over two months ago on [http://www.niwanetwork.org/forums/index.php?topic=734.msg15685#msg15685 the NIWA forums], but no-one seemed to pick up on it then. On your NIWA bar, the listing for Nookipedia has "Nookipedia" in the place where  the series' name is listed for other wikis, and names the wiki "Animal Crossing Wiki".  Can an administrator please fix this? --[[User:Moydow|Moydow]] 19:37, 25 March 2011 (EDT)
 
:Oh, I never saw that topic, and for some reason never noticed it when I made a fix to Vol's edit.  Done now.  Also, for stuff like that, feel free to do it yourself: the page isn't protected or anything. <span style="font-family:times;">'''''[[User:Greenpickle|<span style="color:#080;">G</span>]][[User talk:Greenpickle|<span style="color:#050;">P</span>]]'''''</span>

Revision as of 16:34, August 16, 2011

hello all pikmin fans i think a pikmin 3 game should be created it should have a multiplayer co op story mode and there should be new pikmins and enemies but not too many so the game still remains good also there should be no limit of days as that can get annoying when you cant get a certain piece but there should be a certain amount of items and a good story line maby with different characters having different stories and you play them all in fun objective filled chapters i will update this soon by shinxolimar please add to this page i will read all comments
